Chapter 421: Voluntary Labor
fantasized about being able to be like Lu Miao, wearing a watch, smearing alabaster, and living a rich and bright life from now on.
Li Yue, who was black and thin like a village girl, swallowed her saliva.
Plucked up the courage and pinched the letter of recommendation and walked into the National Kumon English Society with his head held high.
The compulsory rural class on Monday was coming, and Lu Miao could only put the matter of dealing with Lu Yuanzheng later.
Early in the morning, the outside of the house was dark, and there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and a few stars were falling.
Tang Mei got up early to cook.
Lu Miao listened to the movement and got up sleepily.
Fu Jingyou followed behind her and lifted the thin blanket.
Lu Miao squatted on the side eaves of the kitchen, brushing her teeth next to the vegetable patch.
Fu Jingyou poured warm water for her to wash her face, and then bowed down by the well to wash quickly.
The stubble on the forehead was hung with water droplets, and I didn't have time to wipe it.
Fu Jingyou touched into the small vegetable field where the gnats and crickets were screaming.
I picked two bright cucumbers, stared at them for a long time, and picked four or five tomatoes with half of my red face.
After Lu Miao washed her face, she came out of the house with her hands and face smeared fragrantly.
Tang Mei had already packed her lunch box and water bottle, and was bagging her and instructed:
"The bottle of water to drink is glass, be careful with it on the road, don't touch it and cut it."
"Did you take the money? Bring an extra dollar with you to prevent it from being used for other purposes. ”
"It's okay to work slowly, rest when you're tired, and have a good lunch."
Tang Mei is an old mother who is worried about her children.
The daughter who is finely raised at home has to work in the field, and she can't rest assured.
There are endless words to say.
Lu Miao is also like a child full of rebellious bones in adolescence, who can understand the painstaking efforts of his parents, but he dislikes his parents for being too nagging.
"Oh, I know, little aunt!"
Taking the handbag, Lu Miao opened the bag and let Fu Jingyou put the washed cucumbers and tomatoes in.
"I'm out and I'll be back in the afternoon."
"Be careful on the road."
"Yes."
Lu Miao responded, grabbed Fu Jingyou's waist clothes, and sat tremblingly on the back seat of the bicycle.
Tang Mei stood at the door, watching the bicycle swaying around the corner of the alley, before covering the courtyard door and entering the house to continue to be busy.
The bicycle "Zheng Zheng" stopped halfway through.
There was no time to eat at home, so Fu Jingyou bought two fritters for Lu Miao.
Lu Miao took a small sip, and he asked:
"Is it cold or not?"
Lu Miao shook her head.
It's just May, and it's still a little cold in the morning and evening.
But it doesn't matter, it's already summer, the sky dawns early, and the sun will be fine after a while.
Lu Miao's appetite has never been good in the morning, and the fritters are oily, so she refuses to eat half of them.
Fu Jingyou didn't have a problem with her, so he had to stuff the rest of the fritters into his mouth twice.
twisted the lid of the glass bottle for her, and watched her drink two sips to relieve her tiredness, and then continued to take her to the military university.
The school will gather at 6 a.m.
Fu Jingyou sent Lu Miao to the school gate and stopped.
He straightened the broken hair that poured out of Lu Miao's ears and said:
"I'll get out of class early this afternoon, and I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"Got it."
Lu Miao let out an "um", waved at him, and trotted into the school.
Fu Jingyou watched the spot for a while, then turned the bicycle around, went back to have breakfast, and rushed to school.
Labor Day engages in labor, which should be the title of this holiday.
This compulsory class is a group of several grades and classes in the school.
From the school, it took more than an hour to walk to the place.
The northern land is late in spring and thaws.
In May of the solar calendar, the spring wheat sown before has only sent more than 10 centimeters of wheat seedlings, and it is about to return to the jointing period.
At this stage, it belongs to the post-seedling management period, and the main work is weeding and top dressing.
The others are the sowing period of early spring crops such as sesame, spring peanuts, and sweet potatoes.
It is said that this period of time is the busy farming season in the north, and there is a lot of work.
But it may be that they are embarrassed to trouble the students in these schools too much, and the corresponding production team did not arrange that kind of difficult work.
Lu Miao was assigned to a small courtyard in the morning.
The women on the production team picked up two large bundles of sweet potato vines and taught her and two other female classmates to cut them into small pieces.
The small pieces that are cut are sweet potato seedlings, which are collected afterwards and taken to the field for cuttings.
It's not heavy, it's not tiring.
is to sit on the pony and keep his head down, for a long time, his shoulders and back are sore.
Lu Miao put down the scissors, supported her back with both hands, and straightened her back.
The two girls next to her saw her move, and they also put down the scissors and rested.
"When I came here just now, I didn't see any rice planting in this area, and when I glanced over, it was all wheat."
"It's like this in the north, and there are few ...... to grow rice"
"I'll just say it! But the land here is really good, there are a lot of them, and I often have to turn over one or two hills when I go down to the ground in my hometown......"
I had been working before, and no one had spoken, but now that I was resting, the sound of small words rang out.
Someone saw that Lu Miao had a watch, stretched his neck and asked:
"Hey, what time is it? Have you arrived for dinner? ”
Lu Miao glanced at it and said:
"It's almost eleven o'clock."
When the school departed, the big cafeteria had not yet opened, and the students who came together were all on empty stomachs.
When I came in the morning, I was already shouting about hunger, let alone at this time.
Lu Miao dealt with it in the morning, but she didn't eat too much, and she was a little hungry here.
Two large bundles of sweet potato vines, three people working together is not difficult.
There was not much left, Lu Miao thought about finishing it early, going to eat early, and when he was almost rested, he picked up the scissors again.
The other two female classmates were the same.
I asked the time just now, and the distance shortened the distance between each other briefly.
When we were working later, everyone chatted with each other, and time passed quickly.
At lunchtime, the three of them also sat under the tree and ate together.
Lu Miao originally wanted Tang Mei to instruct to spend a penny or two to find a fellow villager to heat up the lunch box.
As a result, people don't accept it at all.
said vigorously that they were student babies, and it was not easy to study, and they had to find time to work for them, which was very hard.
not only gave free hot rice, but also stuffed Lu Miao with three steamed sweet potatoes, and asked the three girls to share one point by themselves.
Lu Miao brought her own food, and Wang Hong and Zhao Ying, who worked together, only brought dry sesame cakes.
It's just a piece the size of Ming Yi and Ming Xia's fists, two pieces per person, all of which were received in the cafeteria a few days ago.
The dry biscuits are full and durable, and they are not afraid of being bad this season.
It's just that it's been away from the pot for a long time, and it's not as crispy as it was at the beginning.
Now the taste is weak, the bite is firm, and the texture is like chewing a rubber band.
Lu Miao gave them all the sweet potatoes, and the two of them were very embarrassed:
"It's better to keep it for yourself!"
Lu Miao shook her head, "It's okay, I brought enough food myself." (End of chapter)
