One trip, two trips...... After running more than ten times in a row, Wang Manyin's forehead oozed bean-sized sweat, and his clothes and gowns were completely soaked.

The rough soybean seedlings were scratched on the arms, leaving red marks and itching pain.

But he didn't care so much, picked up the gourd and poured a few sips, and then joined the carrying team.

Everyone else was busy, and Wang Manyin was embarrassed to rest.

Usually, the members of the second team work lazily and lazily, and when the real summer harvest comes, they can still distinguish the weight. Everyone understands the truth, and everyone shares the rations.

In summer, the sun is scorching, and it is more than 30 degrees Celsius at noon.

If you are late in harvesting half a day, you may lose a lot.

In addition, the weather in May and June will change. It looks like the sky is cloudless, but it may rain heavily.

Therefore, the crops should be packed up as soon as possible and returned to be stable. It's really bad, and it's the members themselves who suffer.

Waiting for the walk-behind tractor and rack car to be filled, Wang Manyin sat and followed the car, and finally had a chance to breathe.

All the way to the wheat field, followed by unloading.

After being busy, he hurried back non-stop.

It was almost noon when Wang Lianshun picked up the whistle and blew it.

The laborers, who had been exhausted for a long time, did not care about the dirt on the ground, and sat down to rest. If you can smoke dry tobacco, you can put a pot on it and smoke it beautifully.

During the summer harvest, not only the laborers of the second team could not be absent, but even the educated youth.

Although I was tired when I built the earthen dam before, I didn't make it so ruthless.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time they have made such a big effort. Especially the hot ghost weather, it is even more panicked. Because of this, the performance of the people is even more unbearable than that of the members.

Hearing the whistle of rest, several male intellectuals couldn't take care of the bean seedlings, and lay down on them to rest.

They were half tired and half hungry.

Half the size of the child, eat the dead old man. Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds are eating a lot, and after working for so long, they digest much faster than they used to. At this moment, one by one, his eyes were black, and his stomach was growling.

Looking at Liu Xiangyang's soft stall, Wang Manyin leaned over with a smile and asked, "What's the matter, can you stand it?" ”

"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it," Liu Xiangyang replied weakly.

"Here, take two sips," Wang Manyin handed over the gourd in his hand.

"There's water in the ground, so I'll drink it and get it myself." The other party shook his head and refused. When he went to work in the morning, Wang Lianshun asked people to send two large buckets of hot water, which were boiled with licorice.

"I'm different, you can taste it."

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it.

After just two sips, he was puzzled: "Brother Wang, did you add salt to it?" It tastes weird. ”

"Well, people lose salt after sweating, and the body will be tired and weak, and drinking more light salt water is beneficial." Wang Manyin explained with a smile.

He was going to wait and give Wang Lianshun an explanation, and asked people to add some salty salt to it when they delivered water in the afternoon, and boiling licorice tea alone would not work.

However, the mothers-in-law and aunts of each family were completely liberated, and they went home together to make lunch, and they had to be sent to the ground later.

In order to rush to harvest, the male laborers basically have to stay in the fields at noon and stay up until the evening before returning home. The village of jars is better, and the farthest plot is only four or five miles away.

In some villages, crops can be more than ten miles away, and the laborers cannot return home during the entire summer harvest season, so they eat and live in the fields.

After resting for almost half an hour, Wang Lianshun blew the whistle again and continued to direct everyone to cut lentils. Hearing the whistle, one by one, like defeated roosters, lazily walked towards the field.

After the break, the efficiency of the crowd did not improve much, but slower.

The main reason is that there is no oil and water in the stomach, and the physical work cannot last at noon, and now it is just supported by will.

Wang Manyin was better, before going to work in the morning, Orchid specially boiled two white eggs for him.

Wang Lianshun also knew about the situation, so he didn't urge.

It wasn't until more than twelve o'clock that the mothers-in-law and aunts and a few female intellectuals carried the food, and it was too late.

Speaking of which, when the educated youths first arrived in Jar Village, Wang Manchu originally planned to divide each production team equally. Wang Manjun didn't want to accept it at all, and proposed a plan for the distribution of lots.

As a result, ten educated youths were drawn by Wang Lianshun and settled in the second team. However, people belong to the collective household registration and eat supply grain, which is different from the members.

The members of the club are all black nests, and they pay attention to stir-fried vegetables. If you want to be lazy and save trouble, you can directly pickle some cold vegetables or soak a handful of old salted vegetables.

Wang Manyin's family was no exception, and fried half a bowl of home-soaked bean sprouts. In front of so many people, Orchid couldn't make anything delicious, so she just took two more black nests.

However, the educated youths have a good meal, half a basket of Erhe noodles steamed buns, and you can even see a little bit of meat in the dish, and at the same time, they also carry two half buckets of porridge.

Sending the orchid away, Wang Manyin found a place in the shade to eat.

As soon as I ate two bites, I saw Liu Xiangyang coming over with a bowl of vegetables.

The other party sat next to him, put the bowl on the ground and said, "Brother Wang, let's get together." ”

"You kid has a heart," Wang Manyin understood the other party's thoughts and nodded.

With the relationship between the two, there is no need to say anything.

After eating, I was busy.

After exposure to the sun at noon, some lentil pods had grown old, and as soon as they were touched with a sickle, they exploded immediately. This made Wang Lianshun feel distressed, and he could only keep urging everyone to speed up.

After an afternoon's work, Wang Manyin's clothes were wet and dry. At the end of the evening, the surface of the gown was soaked with a layer of white flowers.

The same is true for the other members, but no one complains.

Croppers are accustomed to hard times.

For them, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it is nothing to be tired and bitter.

In one day, Wang Manyin carried the bean seedling bundle back and forth and loaded it into the car, but he did not put in much effort.

I didn't think it all the way back to the village, but when he got home and sat on the chair, he couldn't lift up the slightest strength. After resting for an hour, I felt that I had recovered for four or five minutes, but my body was very sore.

Through the light, Orchid saw that the man's arms were full of red marks, and she was even more distressed that she couldn't do it.

Before her husband got married, where did she suffer like this?

"Manyin, I'll go to work tomorrow and rest at home for a day."

"What are you talking about, you honestly guard the consignment point and take care of the house well, which is better than anything else!" Wang Manyin smiled and comforted, "This work is just tiring, and I will be busy for two or three days at most." Bring me the food, I'm hungry! ”

Orchid knew that her husband had put a lot of effort into it today, and she deliberately fried a plate of soft eggs for dinner.

Wang Manyin directly pulled half a bowl, took the black nest and stuffed it into his mouth. The four black nests nested in their stomachs, and after drinking two bowls of rice soup, they felt their strength recover.

But the sour smell emitted all over my body made me feel like I was rushing to my nose, and I couldn't stand it for a moment.

Letting Orchid find clean clothes, he dragged his legs in the direction of the earthen dam again.

Since the second team built a fish pond, it is considered to provide a natural bathhouse for the villagers. The water inside is very clear, much cleaner than in the Dongla River.

A few days ago, the group of broken babies couldn't wait to get into the water and take a bath.

With Wang Fuchang guarding the side, he was not afraid of any accidents, as long as he beckoned them not to go to the middle of the pond.

Of course, Wang Manyin doesn't need to be so troublesome.

After walking some distance along the ravine, looking around the darkness, he dodged into the space.

Pick a big melon first, then Wang Manyin took off his clothes and jumped into the pond, half lying in the shallow water, taking a bath while eating.

The water temperature of more than 20 degrees moisturizes the skin, which is particularly comfortable.

Probably attracted by the smell of sweat, a school of small fish soon swam to the side and kept pecking at the surface of the skin. Crispy and itchy, let him experience the enjoyment of a fish therapy.

After soaking for half an hour, Wang Manyin felt that his fatigue disappeared, and his spirit and spirit also recovered seven or eight points. Looking at the red marks on his arms, they seem to be much lighter than before.

After getting dressed, he arrived home.

As soon as I put it in my head, I ushered in the excited voice of the orchid: "Man Yin, you are back!" Come and see, Rhubarb just caught a hare! ”

The earth dog disappeared after dinner, and it turned out to run outside to catch rabbits.

It was a bonus, and it happened to be stewed tomorrow morning.

While it was still early, Wang Manyin skinned the hare, cleaned it and soaked it in salt water, planning to stew it tomorrow.

In order to give the man the strength to work after a good meal, the orchid got up before dawn and picked up the hare meat into the pot early. When the families started to eat, the rabbit meat was stewed just right.

After sending half a bowl to Wang Qiusheng's family, the two of them had a round mouth. Rhubarb, as a hero, was not treated badly.

There was still a full bowl left, and Wang Manyin specially told the orchid to be sent to Shuangshui Village in the morning, and then walked towards the assembly point of the second team.

As a result, I found that except for Liu Xiangyang, none of the ten educated youths came.

He hurriedly walked up to Wang Lianshun and asked what was going on.

"Why else, I have taken leave......" Wang Lianshun shook his head helplessly. He regretted it a little bit, and he used the educated youths too hard all of a sudden.

As a result, when I was busy, I picked myself up.

If you change to other members, you can also reprimand two sentences. In the face of the educated youth, he had no good tricks, so he could only agree to the other party's rest.

***

In two days, more than 30 acres of lentils were cleaned.

The members were finally able to take a breather.

But you can't rest completely, and you have to hammer the beans next. In a few days, the wheat should be harvested again.

Wang Manyin didn't want to participate in the vigil, but Wang Junxiang was very willing. As a result, this man only guarded for two days, and asked Wang Lianshun to drive him back.

The second team of young people selected four male laborers, led by Wang Yanqiang. They agreed that two people would keep the first half of the night, and two people would keep the second half of the night.

The first night was normal, nothing wrong. The next morning, after the end of the green protection, Wang Yanqiang called a few people home for dinner, but Wang Junxiang was not seen for a long time.

He also thought that the other party was asleep, so he deliberately ran to find someone.

Entering the shed, Wang Yanqiang saw a pair of shoes on the ground, and the quilt on the ground was wrapped in a human shape, only when Wang Junxiang was sleeping with his head covered.

Who knew that there was no movement even after shouting a few times.

He hurriedly stepped forward to uncover the quilt, and found that there was no one in the quilt at all, only a few branches to support it.

Wang Yanqiang knew that he didn't sleep in the shed in the middle of the night after the coward, and he didn't know when he slipped away.

When the remaining two learned about it, they were also angry.

They were about to go back to the village to find someone, and saw Wang Junxiang quietly returning.

When I asked, I found out that this cowardly went to Shibijie Village in the middle of the night to play money.

That is, his own person, Wang Yanqiang did not report it, but just said it to Wang Lianshun in private.

Otherwise, let Director Zhao know, and have to have a meeting again.

When Wang Manyin learned the news, he was not surprised at all. In his opinion, Wang Junxiang has now become a hob meat, and holding meetings or holding study classes cannot solve the problem at all.

It's also strange that when this person doesn't gamble, he looks quite normal and works very hard. Once the gambling addiction comes up, it's like a different person.
