Chapter 454: Autumn Harvest
In the countryside at this time, people who are interested in exams carry a book with them even when they work, and they read a few sentences from time to time, and they keep reciting words in their mouths.
What's more, some people don't even leave the book in their hands, even when they go to the toilet, they all carry the book, looking crazy, and the villagers who read it are frowning again and again.
Although some of them like to steal and play tricks, chat and fart, but they don't blatantly desert and take books to memorize there!
Some of them may not be as good as those educated youths who do their daily work, but they are just not angry, so they respond to the village cadres one after another, not allowing them to bring books with them when they go to work.
If you are really reluctant to put down the book, it is simple, just ask for leave.
In this way, there will be no work, as long as you don't take advantage of the village, no one will care.
Although Chen Aiguo and Chen Zongze ignored those people, those thin-skinned educated youths obviously listened to it, and when they were working, they never took a book again, and those who wanted to give it a go directly asked Chen Aiguo for a long vacation, planning to fight until the eve of the exam.
Qin Xi and Qin Jiang still follow their previous schedule, although the books are still being read and the questions are still being done every day, they have not asked for leave, let alone study at home all day.
In their situation, in the eyes of those who don't know, they are just knowledgeable, knowing that they can't pass the exam, so they don't put so much energy into it, so that after the autumn harvest, they can still get enough food to feed themselves.
Tang Ying and He Yuan both chose to make a desperate bet, after all, in the countryside, they can't see any hope and a way out, and now that the road has appeared, if they don't climb up desperately, they will miss the opportunity, but they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
Because of his focus on reading and studying, Tang Ying He Yuan was much more estranged from Qinjiang and Qinxi, and it was common for them not to see each other for three or five days.
Even if they met, and when they saw them talking, they glanced at the book, Qinjiang and Qinxi would not stay long, for fear of delaying the study of the two of them.
In the past, Tang Ying and He Yuan liked to go to Qinjiang and Qinxi to talk and chat, not to mention anything else, at least that place was very clean, but now, it is difficult to go back once in ten days and half a month.
The two of them really took out the spirit of stabbing their heads, and they really soaked in books every day, and now they are like the strings that slowly tighten, tightening more and more, until the knowledge they have learned turns into arrows, shooting into the distance, piercing the obstacle.
For their situation, Qin Xi is disappointed, but not much, after all, they are all adults, if because of such a small matter, it is too much, she can't do it anyway.
The day in June was very sultry, and the mushrooms in the forest seemed to be baked and couldn't stand it, and quietly poked their heads out to cool off their sister-in-law.
Qinjiang and Qinxi picked up mushrooms, and the one they picked up was called a cheerful, and the ones that could not be eaten were dried and left for hot pot in winter.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed on August 15, the village was in full swing to prepare for the autumn harvest.
At this time, even if you sign up for the college entrance examination, those who take leave to stay at home are no longer willing, they must work in the fields.
The autumn harvest is so important, and the weather is a bit capricious at this time, although it is better than in May and June, but it is also limited.
If you don't hurry up and dry the millet and peanuts as soon as possible, when it rains for a long time, these things will be molded or sprouted, and when the time comes, the things will be ruined.
Even if they are allowed to grow in the ground, as long as it rains for a long time, the ripe grain will sprout.
Therefore, the autumn harvest is a race against time.
When the weather is good, they have to take back the grain as quickly as possible, dry it in the sun, and then put it into warehouses.
After working in the field for a few days, Qin Xi's originally black face was even darker, and he was like a briquette, but it was her brother, who did more work than her and was more tired than her, and he didn't like to wear a straw hat very much, but that face was no different from before, and among the small briquettes, he was white.
What she envies, if it weren't for the fact that the two siblings have been living together all the time, and it is clear that his face has never been erased, she may chase him and ask him for the secret recipe for whitening.
Although it is said that sunning is healthier, but in the hot weather, all the exposed skin is peeled, so it is not a healthier sunburn.
As soon as Qin Xi got home, she began to pour cold water on the positions of her neck and forearms, it was too hot, and she felt that these positions were going to be sunburned.
But if she covers it, she feels as if she is going to be covered with heat stroke, the lesser of two evils, compared to the heat stroke that is dizzy and wants to vomit and can't eat, and the temples jump and throb, or the hot sunburned skin, it is easier to bear, as long as a towel stained with cold spring water is pasted on these skins, it will be relieved a lot.
Qin Jiang looked at Qin Xi's uncomfortable strength, and couldn't bear to persuade him: "Do you want me to go to the captain and ask for a leave of absence for you?" ”
"If it goes on like this, it's not a thing!"
Before his sister, she was still a good little girl, the autumn harvest has only started for a few days, and she has lost several pounds, black and thin, her cheekbones are about to bulge, and her exposed skin is red from the sun, just looking at it, he feels distressed.
Not surprisingly, when she waits for tomorrow morning, she will ask Qin Qing to help her tear off the skin in those sunburned locations.
Although the weather can't be changed, Qin Xi can pretend to be sick! When you ask for leave, send two taels of brown sugar to the captain, there will be no problem, there are so many people in the village, there will be no one staring at the two of them!
"No, I can still persevere, I've been working for five days, if I can't hold on in the last two or three days, I will not lose!" Qin Xi has a tenacity in his bones.
It's not that she's not tired, but everyone is working hard, so she can't eat and drink well at home alone.
It doesn't matter if she's pretending or anything else, she doesn't care.
Seeing Qin Xi's insistence, Qin Jiang didn't persuade anymore: "That's okay!" But you have to pay attention to yourself, if you are really tired, don't be reckless, put down your work, and when I get off work, I will help you do it. ”
His physical strength is much better than Qin Xi's, although he is tired when he gets off work, it is not a big problem to help Qin Xi do some more.
If two siblings work together, the speed will be much faster.
"I know, I won't force myself, you don't know me yet, it's the most life-sparing." Qin Xi said with a smile.
Although she wouldn't share her share of the work on her brother's head, when he said this, it still made her feel an indescribable warmth.
