Chapter 292: Autumn Harvest, Don't Look Up
As a small partner, Lin Nianhe felt that it was necessary to comfort Sister Shumei.
She held Wang Shumei's shoulder, stared at her eyes and said seriously: "Sister Shumei, I can understand your family's heart, as your good friend and sister, I am very willing to help you solve problems, so you can treat me as your grandmother in the future, I don't mind." β
"I call you sister, you call me grandma, let's talk about each other!"
Wang Shumei: "......"
"New Historical Records Ten Mile Brigade Benji:
In the year of the second year, the day of the opening of the sickle. At the beginning of the morning light, two daughters chased after the field, full of life and cheering. Later generations called it an auspicious omen of ten miles of harvest. β
The above was compiled by Comrade Lin Nianhe after being chased by Comrade Wang Shumei throughout half the village.
"Alas, Sister Shumei, you are really, isn't the autumn harvest more important than beating me? Look, it's not going to work yet, I'm already dead. β
Lin Nianhe sat on the small bench, looking at Wang Shumei complainingly while nibbling on steamed buns.
Wang Shumei was no better than her, she glared at her when she heard this, and snorted softly: "Don't drop the chain, the students are watching, let them know that their teacher is so wasteful, they will definitely laugh at you!" β
Lin Nianhe bared his teeth at her, stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, got up and entered the house, and threw down a sentence: "I'm going to change my clothes." β
Clothes are to be changed, and more importantly β sunscreen!
She has not heard much about the autumn harvest, she has heard it in her previous life, and she has heard it recently, especially the aunts in the village, every time she mentions the autumn harvest, she is distressed and sorry when she sees her, as if she can't see her after the autumn harvest.
Lin Nianhe shuddered when he thought about the cloudless sunny day just now.
She put sunscreen on her whole body, took out a straw hat and labor protection gloves that she hadn't used for a long time, thought about it, and brought the red gauze scarf with her.
He filled the kettle with water and stuffed his satchel with a bunch of miscellaneous snacks. In order to avoid accidents, she also sorted out a small medicine box, in addition to the alcohol gauze band-aid for first aid, she also put ten sticks of glucose.
She took out another sack and placed a whole sack of mung beans behind the door.
Ready for everything, Lin Nianhe cheered himself up in the mirror:
"Come on!"
"Come back alive!"
Outside the door, Wen Lan, who had just raised her hand and was about to knock on the door: "Melon girl." β
β¦β¦
Autumn harvest means harvest, it means grain distribution, and it means the hardships of scalp tingling when you think about it.
The autumn harvest today is different from that of later generations, with no large harvesters and no other auxiliary machinery. Wheat harvesting can still rely on tractors, but corn......
Lin Nianhe specially checked a few days ago, corn harvesters and threshers only existed in the eighties, and now, they can only rely on hard-working hands.
The autumn harvest is a major event, not only the production team of all ages is dispatched, but also the school and various units have autumn harvest holidays. As Lin Nianhe reminded Zheng Lirong before, the students in their school also have to do farm work.
Lin Nianhe looked back at the little beans who were obediently lined up behind her, and felt that her future was worrying.
"Folks, comrades! The harvest is about to begin......"
Li Dahe stood at the forefront, speaking with a big tin roll, he was extremely excited, and spoke impassionedly for a minute, and then he jumped down, took the sickle wrapped in a red cloth and jumped down from the field, and cut off a corn stalk neatly.
He raised his scythe and shouted with all his strength, "Openβscythe!" β
There are many ways to harvest corn, and the methods are naturally different in different regions and geographical factors. Some of them first break the corn and throw it into the basket, and then cut the corn stalk down; Some break corn and trample the corn stalks down;
The ten-mile brigade harvested corn by cutting off the corn stalks with a sickle and putting them down, and the people behind followed to break the corn and transport it out.
The advantage of harvesting corn in this way is that everyone can do the same work quickly, and they don't have to carry a basket all the time to feel the increasing weight. Moreover, if the strong laborers are responsible for cutting the corn stalks, the work of breaking corn can be done by older people, and the children can help carry the corn back and forth, and the whole village will go out together, and no one will be left behind.
The teachers and students of the village elementary school were assigned to the fifth squad, because it was a rush to collect, and they could not waste skilled labor to help the educated youth, so this time, the members of the fifth squad were extraordinarily single - except for the educated youth, who were half-grown children, 90% of the first team could only be regarded as half of the labor force.
Li Dahe also took this into account, and the tasks assigned to the fifth squad were much smaller than those of other squads.
Even so, Lin Nianhe looked at the endless cornfield and still felt that her wish this morning was too abrupt.
The team leader looked at them and said seriously: "Be careful, especially the new educated youth, don't be scratched by the sickle, and the students don't follow the adults closely, especially not to the left of the person." The most important thing - don't look up while you're working! β
"Don't look up!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as the squad leader gave the order, the educated youths brandished their sickles and began to chop corn stalks.
"Come on, teacher!"
"Come on, come on!"
The students were not yet allowed to break corn in the field, and the little ones did not know that they were tired, so they shouted at the edge of the field one by one.
Cutting corn stalks is not like harvesting wheat, saying that there are not so many, just cut them off. It's just that the corn stalks are taller, and the corn leaves are wide, which is very obstructive.
Lin Nianhe's sickle was sharpened by Wang Dong, and when the knife went down, the two corn stalks were broken together.
Lin Nianhe: "It doesn't feel too difficult, I think I can do it again!" β
Wang Shumei next to her also felt this way, and abandoned her previous suspicions and agreed: "Yes, it feels okay." β
Wen Lan: "Two melon women." β
This is just starting to dry, and I don't know how to be afraid!
Lin Nianhe brandished the sickle and walked forward while chopping.
Gradually, all that seemed to be the sound of cutting corn stalks was left in her ears.
My waist started to ache, and my arms started to ache. The man shrank in the sea of corn, the wind could not penetrate, and the sweat soon fell down the corners of his forehead, and then stuck to the flying grass clippings, itching terribly.
Lin Nianhe felt like he had cut a corn stalk for a century.
Raise your wrist and look at the time -
Good, it's been ten minutes.
She sighed and straightened up to wipe her sweat, when she happened to see Wang Shumei also looking at her with tired eyes.
The two of them invariably forgot the arrogant words behind the first sickle, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Together, they turned their heads to look in Wen Lan's direction.
No one.
Lin Nianhe took a look and saw that Sister Lan had already cut out ten meters more than her.
Lin Nianhe turned around and reported: "Sister Lan is ten meters away." β
Wang Shumei: "Is Xiaolan really a human?" β
Lin Nianhe: "It's hard to say. β
With that, she thumped her waist twice, bent down and continued to chop the cornstalk.
Whew,......
After another two centuries, Lin Nianhe's eyes began to glow.
She felt that she should be almost at the end of these two ridges, so she couldn't help but straighten up and stand on tiptoe to lookβ
The endless cornfields, if not blocked by mountains, I am afraid that they will all intersect in the sky.
Lin Nianhe was stunned for a long time, and his face fell. As soon as her legs went limp, she sat down directly on the mat made of the corn stalks that had just been knocked down.
Wang Shumei turned her head when she heard the movement, saw that she looked loveless, wiped her sweat and said, "Nianhe, when you are tired, rest for a while and drink saliva." β
Lin Nianhe turned his head and pointed to the front tremblingly, half of his eyes were red: "Sister Shumei, I, I thought I was coming to an end, so I couldn't help but glance at ......"
Wang Shumei was stunned, and subconsciously looked over.
She shivered in the sun.
"Oh, what are you looking at it," Wang Shumei rubbed her arms and complained, "Didn't the team leader say that he wouldn't let him see it?" β
It was only at this time that she realized what it meant for the team leader to deliberately emphasize not to be allowed to look forward.
It's really going to be desperate.
Lin Nianhe also understood why the aunts always looked at themselves with the eyes of one side and one side less.
She really can't survive this autumn harvest.
Just when she was desperately thinking about whether she should die now or die again after suffering the sin, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind her:
"Nian He."
