Chapter 46: The Rainy Season and Holidays
The production team needs a lot of straw ropes, and the rapeseed, rice and barley in the field are waiting to be harvested and bundled.
A bundle of straw rope for a penny, hands and feet are nimble, you can save a bundle in half an hour, compared with the female comrades who used to work all day under the sun to earn six or eight points, this job is a light fat difference, but for Lu Miao, it is simply not too abrasive.
Because although this work is not heavy, it is very abrasive, and when the work is busy, straw foam and dust are lifted on the body, which is not only itchy and unbearable, but also choking badly.
Lu Miao participated in it for two days, and sleeping at night was like having asthma, with slightly obstructed breathing and constant coughing, which was a respiratory infection caused by inhaling too much dust.
Ren Bingxin heard her cough and even her voice became hoarse, worried and persuaded:
"You can't do this, or you'll go to the ground tomorrow, right? Discuss it with your aunt, you can always arrange a lighter one. ”
"Immediately the farm will be busy, everyone is in a hurry to harvest, how can there be light work?"
Lu Miao shook her head.
Now the temperature outside during the day is gradually approaching thirty degrees, just this weather Lu Miao feels difficult, really have to be light, don't do any work, just lying in the house is the lightest.
Besides, now if you want to behave well and brush up the "attendance rate", when you are really busy with farming, you want to ask for leave to be lazy, and the production captain will have a greater opinion.
Lu Miao is very clear about her self-positioning, she will definitely not be able to hold on to it in the hot summer, it is better to behave well at this time, and others will have less to say later.
But then again, if you still plan to twist the straw rope, you should really be prepared, otherwise the feeling of scratching your throat will be uncomfortable enough.
As soon as the kerosene lamp in the room went out, Lu Miao half-propped himself up and looked at Ren Bingxin's bed with his head tilted.
I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, but it didn't hinder communication, "Ren Bingxin, how are you doing needlework?" I remember you brought a needle and thread? ”
"yes, didn't I pick a blister for you last time?"
Lu Miao asked "oh", and hurriedly sat up, "It's good to have a needle and thread, Ren Bingxin, I need your help!" ”
Ren Bingxin was lazy, "What's the busy?" ”
Lu Miao didn't say anything, asked Ren Bingxin to light the kerosene lamp, and after turning out a dark blue gown, the two went to the hall together, "Let's go out and talk, don't quarrel with them." ”
Lu Miao had never used needlework, she felt that since Ren Bingxin had brought these things, she must have some craftsmanship, and she didn't ask for good looks, just be practical.
Handing the clothes to Ren Bingxin, Lu Miao told Ren Bingxin what he wanted.
In fact, it is masks and sleeves.
Ren Bing understood, but had a hint of doubt about Lu Miao's arrangement, "Such a good gown is still new!" That's going to cut it? ”
Lu Miao's throat hurt and she didn't want to speak, so she nodded.
Ren Bingxin looked at her and knew that she was iron-hearted, so she didn't persuade anything, "I'll remove these two sleeves, sew two masks for you in the upper part of the sleeve, and tighten the two ends in the lower part to make a shorter sleeve, okay?" ”
Ren Bingxin took off his sleeves and compared with Lu Miao:
"The rest of this gown, when I have time to turn around, I will change it for you and still wear it."
Lu Miao nodded, "You look at the arrangement, if you don't bother, then do as you say." ”
A mosquito "buzzed" and flew in front of him, and Lu Miao chased after the mosquito to shoot.
The kerosene light was limited, and the mosquitoes quickly disappeared into the shadows, Lu Miao sighed, feeling annoyed that she didn't hit the mosquitoes, Ren Bingxin looked at her as if she didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and sighed sadly.
"If you're not in a hurry, you have to go to the town and buy two feet of fabric, how good is it, such a good clothes, why do you have to dismantle them?"
"You also said that you are not in a hurry, but am I not in a hurry?" Lu Miao sat cross-legged on the bench, supporting Ren Bingxin across the table, "What has become of you listening to my voice?" ”
Ren Bingxin sighed and had nothing to say.
The masks and sleeves are simple and small things, but the light is poor, and Ren Bingxin's needlework is done carefully, so it took about 40 minutes to complete.
Lu Miao tried it, and if there was something inappropriate, Ren Bingxin adjusted it for her on the spot, and everything was taken care of properly, she grabbed the mask sleeve and pulled Ren Bingxin's arm intimately:
"Ren Bingxin, you're so good! It just saved me from fire and water! ”
"I've always been very separated, this time you helped me a lot, and there is something good to do when I turn around, I designate the first to think of you!"
"What's the matter? Isn't it right for us to help each other? Ren Bingxin held the kerosene lamp with both hands, for fear that Lu Miao would shake it over, "Okay, it's awkward, Youjiao will sprinkle it tomorrow, go to bed tonight!" ”
"What do you mean by Jiaojiao tomorrow! Okay, you, did you learn Geng Xiaoyun's set? ”
"Hahaha, no, don't scratch it......"
Pushing open the door, the two of them lowered their voices, blew out the kerosene lamp, and the two of them whispered and snickered, and each lay back to his bed.
The wind rose at night, and the trees and bamboo forests in front of the door and behind the house were "rustling", and the windows were also shaking in the wind.
In a trance, there was the "ticking" sound of raindrops falling on the roof tiles.
Lu Miao thought it was a dream, but when she woke up in the morning, she found that it had indeed rained last night, and the temperature had dropped a lot.
Previously, because of the hot weather, the small quilt that was folded up as a pillow was shaken off by her while sleeping, and when she got up, the small quilt was wrapped around her waist.
Lu Miao doesn't have the habit of getting up early, usually Gu Ying and they get up first when they go to work, and call her by the way.
It's a bit abnormal today, not only did no one call her to get up, but it was quite lively in the hall outside the door, and the big guys didn't seem to go to work.
Tidying up the bed, Lu Miao combed her hair and went out with toiletries, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to work", Gu Ying and others responded to her with a smile:
"Seeing that there was still heavy rain in the sky, the captain came over early in the morning and said that if it rains, we will have a holiday and rest for two days."
Lu Miao was surprised, "Two days? So good? ”
Geng Xiaoyun sat on the threshold and knocked off the heavy mud on the soles of his shoes, and quipped:
"Look at your little look, do you think the captain is really so good at giving us a holiday? That's because we don't usually miss our work, and even less when it rains, so it's arranged like this. ”
"Whatever, it's just a holiday anyway."
Lu Miao puffed out her face and ran to the kitchen to get water for washing.
In the morning, the rain had gone, the sky was dark and drizzling, and the eaves were dripping with water.
Lu Miao's eyes drifted and squatted on the steps to brush her teeth, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that there was a person standing on the path that turned from the pond on the right side of Zhiqing Point.
Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look through the shadows of the trees, Lu Miao reflexively stood up.
Isn't there just a person standing there?
Fu Jingyou, who disappeared without a figure for nearly half a month, reappeared without warning!
