Chapter 117: Breaking Corn

Shen Ruoqing didn't expect to receive the news that he was going to study agriculture in the second week of school. I was going to go as soon as school started, although Shen Ruoqing had been mentally prepared before, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"In order to let everyone have a better contact with the lives of farmers, the school arranged this agricultural learning activity."

"You must know that in the future, some of our students will still have to support the construction, and if you don't see it on the spot, what if you only know the vegetables in the school field in the future?"

Well, the school has the final say. They can only obey the arrangement.

Someone asked the teacher where to study agriculture this time, and the teacher replied: "I went to the farm run by our school to learn agriculture, not far from here, ten kilometers away, if you walk, it takes more than two hours to arrive, just exercise everyone's body." By the way, we will leave tomorrow at five o'clock, so let's go back and pack our things. ”

Shen Ruoqing took a look at the classmates around her and found that most of the classmates were still quite interested in this matter, they were all students from the county and towns, and a few of them were from the village like her, but there was no reaction.

Tao Tao is from the county, she is obviously quite excited, she took Shen Ruoqing's hand and asked, "Ruoqing, what do you say I want to bring?" ”

Shen Ruoqing glanced at her: "The teacher said that this agricultural learning activity is mainly to harvest corn, and you had better bring a pair of labor protection gloves." ”

Although Shen Ruoqing had never harvested corn, she also knew that it hurt her hands. The work of breaking corn is not difficult, but it requires a lot of strength.

Now this girl is so excited, when the time comes to really work in the field, she will know that she is bitter.

After announcing this, school was dismissed.

Because the matter of learning agriculture is all the first year of high school, Shen Hansong is also going to go.

went home and told the news to the Empress Dowager Ji, and Mrs. Ji shouted twice at the top of her voice: "This school is really, what kind of farming to study, my good baby will be a worker in the future, what's the use of learning this." ”

Shen Ruoqing hurriedly stopped Mrs. Ji: "Mom, don't say that, it's not good for people to hear it." How can I say what will happen after this? Don't talk about me being a worker all day long, so that people can hear jokes. It's good that we know about this ourselves, and we have to keep a low profile. ”

Of course, Shen Ruoqing wants to get a job in the future, and this matter is not difficult for her. But every time Mrs. Ji muttered Shen Ruoqing like this, she felt embarrassed.

"What are you embarrassed about, what my mother said is the truth. When you graduate, you must ask your brother to find you a job. Right, fourth. Mrs. Ji looked at Shen Xiangbei.

Shen Xiangbei felt the pressure, he was just a small section chief, and he didn't have so much power to stuff people into his factory. Originally, she had hoped to be promoted to deputy director, but his reputation was ruined. Now it's really hard for his mother to make him promise that he will definitely arrange a job for his sister.

The current work is a radish and a pit, how can it be so easy to arrange.

But in order not to disappoint Mrs. Ji, Shen Xiangbei still gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay, I'll find a way to arrange a job for our little sister when the time comes." ”

Anyway, I was rescued last time because of my little sister, even if I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother to pay for my own money, I had to buy a job for my little sister and come back.

Hearing Shen Xiangbei's assurance, Mrs. Ji felt comfortable.

"Good baby, what will I bring you tomorrow? It just so happened that your sister-in-law came back from buying meat today, so she wants to bring her own dry food, right? Mother will make you some steamed buns. ”

Shen Ruoqing is also hungry for meat buns, so naturally he should come down.

"Mom, then you make a few more, I still want to divide two for my classmates."

Hearing that the meat buns were going to be distributed to her classmates, Mrs. Ji was a little heartbroken, but for Shen Ruoqing, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Nacheng, mom will make you a few more tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Mrs. Ji got up and started to make steamed buns, and when Shen Ruoqing got up at four o'clock, the porridge had already been cooked.

With their things, Shen Ruoqing and Shen Hansong took the buns and rode their bicycles to school.

The bicycle must be parked in the school, and it is impossible for everyone to walk, so the two of them ride bicycles. If you want to walk, you must walk together.

When he arrived at the farm, Shen Ruoqing looked at the large patch of corn, and his heart did not fluctuate.

After the teacher taught him how to break the corn, he marked an area and let the students go to the ground.

Shen Ruoqing found Shen Hansong and handed him a pair of labor protection gloves, "My classmate specially helped me get it, save my hand, you can use it." ”

"Sister-in-law, you can use it yourself, I'm used to seeing it, it's okay."

"I specially asked for an extra pair, I have it, let you take it, what are you doing with so much nonsense?"

Shen Ruoqing raised his other pair of labor protection gloves and returned to his class.

Tao Tao has already started to dry.

In fact, there is a skill in breaking corn, and breaking corn cannot be broken up, but down, so it saves a lot of effort. If you break it up, it's a lot of effort.

There were many problems when everyone broke the corn, and there were a lot of jokes.

But perhaps the people of this era have a natural adaptability to farm work, and those who are not skilled after a day of breaking are also proficient.

At noon, Shen Ruoqing took out a big meat bag to share with Tao Tao, and Tao Tao also took out the jerky to share with Shen Ruoqing.

And Zhang Xiaoli on the side looked at Shen Ruoqing's oily big meat bun, very greedy, but he only dared to look at it, and did not dare to step forward.

Anyway, at the end of the day, all the work of breaking corn on this farm was done by the students.

Like in previous years, it was necessary to dry for two or three days, but this year's rain is more, and less corn is planted, so it is finished in one day.

Shen Ruoqing felt that the school was treating them as free labor.

"Ruoqing, fortunately, I listened to you and prepared labor protection gloves, you can see that some girls in our class have blisters on their hands."

After all, the majority of the children in the county are doing farm work, and some of them are doing farm work for the first time, and they are more honest and work hard, and their hands are blistered.

Of course, only a few female students had blisters on their hands, and most of them were fine. However, the school obviously has measures to deal with this method, and the students who have blisters on their hands are rubbed with iodine.

On the way back, everyone was obviously not so interested.

"Ruoqing, this farm work is really tiring. I've been working all day, and I haven't done much work, and I'm much worse than you, and if I have to work in the fields to support myself, I'm sure I'll starve to death. ”

"Anyway, didn't you say that if you don't find a job after graduation, your mother will give you the job, and you won't have to work in the field in the future, it's just a learning experience." Shen Ruoqing comforted.

"Yes."

I don't know if it's because of drinking the upgraded spiritual spring water for a long time, Shen Ruoqing now feels that his strength is much greater than before, and he doesn't feel very tired after breaking corn for a day, but feels at ease.
