Early in the morning of the second day when Ye Xiaozhen went to the town, the loudspeaker of the village branch sounded, asking everyone to gather in the small square for a meeting.

By the time Ye Tan and the three of them arrived at the small square, there were already a lot of people, Ye Tan's eyes were sharp, and he saw Aunt Hua waving to him in the crowd at a glance.

After Ye Tan and the three of them came over, Aunt Hua took it out of her pocket, and each of them put a small handful of boiled peanuts in their hands: "Eat it, it's fragrant." ”

"Thank you, Aunt Hua." Ye Tan and the three of them were not polite to Aunt Hua, Aunt Hua's boiled peanuts are delicious, peanuts don't need to be peeled, they are washed and boiled in water, put some salt and star anise in the water when boiling, and then soak them for an hour or two after cooking, and then control the water, and then put them in a cloth bag and roast them on the kang head, not to mention how fragrant they are.

If you want to eat melon seeds, it's the same way, it's just as fragrant and bubbling.

"Aunt Hua, what are you going to say at today's meeting?" Ye Tan threw two peanuts into his mouth and asked curiously.

"Hey, isn't this going to start breaking corn and digging sweet potatoes today?" Aunt Hua said: "There is a small meeting at this time every year, one is to divide the labor, and the other is to do a mobilization, after all, there is no rest for the next time, and the time to work every day is extended, which must not be a carrot in front." ”

Listening to Aunt Hua's parable, Ye Tan almost burst out laughing, and just laughed twice, in the livestock shed not far from the small square, there was the cry of the little donkey, Ye Tan and the others paused and laughed louder.

Han Lulu and Ye Xiaozhen, who were standing not far away, heard the sound and looked over, Han Lulu pursed her lips and whispered to Ye Xiaozhen: "You look at their sluggishness, they have a good relationship with these rural women in the village, and they have a lot of benefits, just honest people like us, we can't compare with them." ”

Maybe there is a common enemy, so, although Ye Xiaozhen has only been here for less than two days, the friendship between Han Lulu and her has grown by leaps and bounds, and the progress is rapid, today Ye Xiaozhen is on the first day of work, and the two are already good sisters who can work together.

Ye Xiaozhen glanced at Ye Tan, and whispered to Han Lulu: "This is Ye Tan's usual trick, when she was at home, she was like this, so that my neighbors were all facing her, and in the end, my parents were deducted from their wages and criticized before they stopped, which is bad." ”

"That's bad!" Han Lulu's eyes widened.

Ye Xiaozhen sighed, and was about to speak, when in front of the small square, Zhou Changzhu took the loudspeaker and spoke: "Come, be quiet, everyone be quiet." ”

Suddenly, the small square, which was still noisy, suddenly became silent.

Zhou Changzhu nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone knows what day it is, right?" ”

"Yes." The big guys all laughed and shouted, "I'm going to break the corn and dig up sweet potatoes." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Changzhu said loudly: "Our Taoshan Village has entered the busiest time for the autumn harvest, everyone must mobilize and put all the corn and sweet potatoes into the warehouse as soon as possible, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes!" The voices of the crowd shook the sky.

Tuanzi raised his head and exclaimed: "Xiaotan, these people are so passionate." ”

Ye Tan said: "Yes, it's the first time I've seen it." ”

Emotions are infectious, and the high-pitched enthusiasm of the surrounding villagers made Ye Tan couldn't help but get excited, and later when Zhou Changzhu asked again, Ye Tan also shouted with everyone with great interest.

Zhou Changzhu is not an ink man, so he mobilized a few words neatly, and divided the work, so that the big guys scattered and hurried to work in the field.

Several female intellectuals at the Zhiqing point have been assigned to the cornfield by the perimeter pillar, mainly because the cornfield can break the corn with bare hands, although it is also tired, but it is better to be safe, after all, there are several new intellectuals in the female intellectuals, hoes and dogs are useless, don't look back and hurt yourself, you really want to hurt, that's all a thing.

Ye Tan followed Tong Meifang to the cornfield, looking at the green gauze tent in front of her, Ye Xiaozhen gasped: "Let's ...... How much corn are we going to break? ”

Ye Xiaozhen looked at her white and delicate hands, she wanted to cry without tears, she looked at Tong Meifang: "Auntie, do you have gloves?" ”

When did the villagers break corn and wear gloves?

Naturally, there is none.

Tong Meifang said to Ye Xiaozhen a little helplessly: "There are no gloves, no one has ever worn gloves when we break corn here, and no one has prepared that thing, you are a new educated youth, right?" On your first day at work today, get used to it first, don't break too much at once, or you won't be able to lift your arms tomorrow. ”

Ye Xiaozhen listened, and her heart was even more cool.

is Wen Jing, a few new educated youths this year, although they have experienced farm work some time ago, but after listening to Tong Meifang's words, they couldn't help but rub their shoulders.

Ye Tan doesn't matter, she is a person with a hundred years of willow dew, a drop of a hundred years of willow dew, what kind of fatigue can't be alleviated? This is her big killer!

Tong Meifang thought that Ye Tan had not been in contact with the work in the field some time ago, so she hurriedly told Ye Tan: "You too, break corn for the first time today, don't be too tired, otherwise you will suffer tomorrow, take your time and adapt to it." ”

"Huh." Ye Tan responded with a smile.

Aunt Hua and Aunt Lei were also in charge of the work on this side of the cornfield, so they smiled and said to Ye Tan: "Ye Tan, come, let's have a group." ”

Tong Meifang smiled and pushed Ye Tan to Aunt Hua and the others: "Go, it's just a group of three." ”

Ye Xiaozhen knew from Han Lulu that Tong Meifang was the daughter-in-law of the captain of Taoshan Village, and she was a pivotal figure in the village, and seeing her so good to Ye Tan, she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed and jealous.

Soon, Tong Meifang divided everyone into groups one by one, three people in groups, two people were responsible for breaking corn, and one person was responsible for following behind to put the broken corn in bags, and then moving the bags to the wooden cart outside, and the three of them took turns with each other, so that they could rest a little.

Breaking corn is actually very simple, that is, it is tired of the arms, and it takes skill, and before breaking the corn, you must first knock off the leaves on the corn stalks, the corn leaves are very sharp, so as not to cut your hands and face.

Aunt Hua taught Ye Tan how to break corn, and watched Ye Tan try to break a few, so she couldn't help but smile and praise: "Oh, Ye Tan, you are so smart, you can learn so fast, this posture is said to be an old style, and some people believe it." ”

Aunt Lei echoed with a smile: "It's not, it's presentable." ”

Ye Tan was praised by Aunt Hua and Aunt Lei, Ye Xiaozhen's side was miserable, and the aunt had only taught half of it, so Ye Xiaozhen jumped back with a snort and cried: "It hurts." ”
