The autumn harvest has begun, and the whole field is golden.

The people who got up early, behind them, had already harvested a great harvest.

Zheng Xiugu followed Zhou Tiankui and came to the field to which Xiao Wang's production team belonged.

The field of Xiao Wang's production team is composed of three major pieces, all of which have their own names. The stubble behind Zhuangzi is called "Beiwei", and the one that is closer to Zhuangzi is called "Gaotian", far away from Zhuangzi, and adjacent to the embankment of the Sanwang River is "Polder".

Under the guidance of their neighbors, they came to the "polder" Xiugu's own field.

This is the first time she has been working in the fields since she got married.

Now, with a sickle in her hand, she faces a whole ridge of ripe rice, not knowing what to do.

She stood there, looking at Zhou Tiankui with blank eyes, "Second brother, what should I do?" ”

"What to do? Bend over first. Zhou Tiankui instructed, "You sit on the polder for a while and see how I cut it." ”

The fields of the Xiaowang production team are divided into two types: three acres of land for large ridges, two acres of land for small ridges, and between ridges and ridges, the polders are used as the dividing line.

This kind of polder is very narrow and narrow, generally do not walk on it, and it is easy to be stepped on, but it can be used as a stool anytime and anywhere.

Zheng Xiugu sat on the polder very obediently, watched Zhou Tiankui cut the rice, figured out his movements, and divided it into the following steps according to her own understanding: bending over, waving a knife, branching, cutting rice, closing, and falling.

Zhou Tiankui should be harvesting rice quickly, bent down, waved the sickle in his hand, and repeated the actions of Xiugu's decomposition, and in one breath, a quarter of the rice in this ridge had fallen.

Xiu Gu looked at Zhou Tiankui flying with a sickle, skillfully harvesting rice, a feeling of worship arose, last night he did not take the initiative to make out with himself, the ice melted a little.

She understands the difficulties of being a man, she has to pay physical and intellectual strength outside the home, earn money to support her family, and make her daughter-in-law happy when she returns home. Their suffering, their tiredness, and a few women to really care and understand.

Zheng Xiugu thought of this, propped herself up, ignored her legs and feet, which were a little numb from sitting, ran over, and handed it to Zhou Tiankui with the cold boiled water, "Second brother, you are working too hard, drink saliva and rest for a while." ”

"It's okay." Zhou Tiankui took it and said in one gulp, "Daughter-in-law, have another bowl, I'm dying of thirst." ”

Zheng Xiugu quickly ran over and brought another big bowl, "Second brother, drink slowly, don't choke." ”

Zhou Tiankui drank half of the bowl of water and handed it to Xiugu, "Daughter-in-law, you can also drink some to moisten your throat." ”

"Wait a while, it's still the second brother to drink." Zheng Xiugu shook her head and said, "I want to ask you a question that is not sensitive, is it okay?" ”

Zhou Tiankui wanted to refuse, but Xiugu's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear it, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"Second brother, hearing you call me daughter-in-law so affectionately, Aunt Xiu's heart is very sweet, but why did you reject me last night?"

Zhou Tiankui pointed around and said, "Aunt Xiu, you see that there are people around us, and there are people walking back and forth, I can't say a word or two about these private words, let's go home at noon." ”

Zheng Xiugu wanted to know what Zhou Tiankui was thinking, but she was disappointed again.

In order not to embarrass herself, she pointed to the rice that had fallen in the field and asked, "Second brother, look, the fallen rice is very neat in rows, but why don't you take it home?" ”

Zhou Tiankui looked at Xiugu's facial expression, as if he sighed helplessly, "You are just a little girl, you are curious about everything, brother will answer." ”

He squatted down and turned up a handful of rice, "Xiugu, come over and see, there are straws left after the rice is harvested, and the fallen rice does not contact the ground, and the direct sunlight on it can better make the straw on the rice volatilize moisture." ”

Zheng Xiugu nodded as if she didn't understand, she walked away and took back the sickle, full of confidence, "Second brother, I can also operate and harvest rice." ”

Zhou Tiankui held down her hand and took back the sickle, "Aunt Xiu, you will help me pour tea and water this morning, sit aside and figure it out, wait for me to cut this field, and then you will officially start the knife in the afternoon." ”

Zheng Xiugu understood the meaning of Zhou Tiankui's words, the "surgery" here is not the doctor in the operating room to do surgery, but the official start of picking up the sickle to harvest rice.

Zhou Tiankui melted all morning, and the two acres of rice had been cut down on the ridges by him. Maybe he hadn't done farm work for a long time, he was so tired that his back hurt, and he didn't say anything for fear that Xiugu would be worried.

Zheng Xiugu stepped forward to wipe the sweat on Zhou Tiankui's face, and said very distressedly, "Our family's 10 acres of rice may have to be cut for several days, I'm really afraid that it will tire you down, let's pay someone to help." ”

Zhou Tiankui took the towel and said, "It's the peak of harvesting, and every household has rice to harvest, so is there anyone?" Therefore, for the sake of long-term solutions, the state has issued documents ranging from mutual aid groups to primary cooperatives. ”

"I really deserve to be the deputy head of our Xiaoji District, and I don't forget to publicize the essentials of national policies when I work in the fields."

Zheng Xiugu heard it, it was Zheng Da Niu who spoke, no, it should be called Da Niu, he has betrayed himself, his surname is my mother's surname, he is not worthy.

She said coldly, "What are you doing here?" My field, my land, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Zheng Daniu didn't answer her words, but took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Tiankui, "Comrade District Chief, how can you have time to help us work?" Good work, smoke a cigarette. ”

"The above sent me to Yang Village to squat." Zhou Tiankui said, blocking the cigarette back, "Da Niu, I have quit smoking, you take it back!" ”

Zheng Daniu was not embarrassed, he took a sharp breath, spit out a big smoke ring and said, "Comrade District Chief, I know that you are squatting to help farmers with difficulties in harvesting." So, you can help others in the afternoon, and I won't have to worry about you here, I can do it myself. ”

At this time, Zheng Xiugu finally understood, "What do you mean?" This field is yours, not my Zheng Xiugu's? Don't forget, you asked me to move back to live, and the field of Xiao Wang's production team is my Zheng Xiugu's. ”

Zheng Daniu scoffed at Zheng Xiugu's words, "The current land, to whose head it is, is his own land, which belongs to private property and is protected by national laws." Don't forget, Xiaowangzhuang's account is my big cow, not your Zheng Xiugu's.

This reminded Zheng Xiugu, yes, when the field was divided, the name of the head of the household was Zheng Daniu, not her Zheng Xiugu.

She faced Zhou Tiankui and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"What can I do? His words were not wrong either. Although the current primary cooperatives have set up a cooperative organizational framework, the land is still in the hands of their respective peasant households and belongs to their private property. ”

Zheng Xiugu was silent after hearing this, and on the way home, she asked, "Second brother, where are we going to harvest rice that afternoon?" ”

"Needless to say, go back to the front and give up my family's fields and land, and no one there will dare to rob us." Zhou Tiankui replied.

Zheng Xiugu was worried, "Not necessarily, at that time, the pilot project was carried out in Qianshe, and the agreement to join the cooperation in primary agricultural production was not signed by my mother, but signed by him." Now he's the captain of the production team in the front house, and if he wants to make things difficult for me, he will use this as an excuse. ”
