Chapter 23 Plucking Peanuts + Absorbing Energy
The next day, Su Mo changed into blue overalls, put on liberation shoes, and went to work with the educated youth.
Today is still pulling peanuts, listening to the captain's meaning, there are not many peanuts, and it will be completed in three days. Then it's time to dry and put it into storage, and then pay the public grain, settle the work, divide the grain and money, and kill the pigs and divide the meat.
In short, being mobilized by the captain like this, the villagers who had been tired of the autumn harvest for more than a month were full of blood again, and they were full of enthusiasm one by one.
After all, the peasants divide the grain and money all year round. Moreover, this year's brigade has a bumper harvest, and the labor of their production brigade should be quite valuable.
Many aunts discussed on the way, and after sharing the money, they should buy something.
When passing by another sunning flat in the brigade, Su Mo found that a group of men were holding something a bit like diving fins, beating around the wheat stalks on the ground, and a few uncles were driving donkeys to pull stone grinders and spinning in circles.
Su Mo was a little curious, could this be the legendary threshing wheat?
So he asked Ma Xiaojuan in a whisper: "What are they doing?" ”
It happened that a big aunt with a sharp ear next to her heard it and explained: "They are threshing wheat, and they have to beat the wheat down and dry it before it can be bagged and put into storage." ”
"What's that one they're holding? So that you can beat them all? ”
"It's called a flail. How can it be so easy to beat the wheat, first use the flail to knock down the wheat on it, and then pick off the wheat straw on it, and then continue to beat it, continue to pick. When the large straw is cleaned, the husks and short grass are lifted off with a wooden lift, and the full wheat is left to dry. The eldest aunt explained enthusiastically.
"It's really hard!" Ma Xiaojuan sighed.
"This year's wheat is growing well, and it's okay to work hard. The most afraid is that it doesn't grow well, and it's hard work all year round. The eldest aunt said with a smile, obviously satisfied with this year's harvest.
When they arrived at the place, the team leader began to assign tasks, and Su Mo was the last to be divided.
Looking at the small piece of land in front of him, Su Mo was dumbfounded.
Although she is not sensitive to these units of measurement such as mu ah and cent, she can also see that this piece of land is definitely not more than one cent of land.
"Captain, why am I so few?"
Squad leader Lu Guoping scratched his head in embarrassment, "That, Brother Long March asked me not to give you so many points." ”
Lu Guoping has been Lu Changzheng's follower since he was a child and listens to him very much. Even if Lu Changzheng went to serve as a soldier, he would write a letter to ask Lu Changzheng's opinion when he encountered an accident.
Su Mo: ......
"Don't listen to him, you can divide it how you want, otherwise it's just like that, how can I earn a share."
Just kidding, she's still waiting to absorb energy, so at this point, she might as well go to the side and pull weeds.
In the end, Lu Guoping couldn't resist Su Mo and gave her three points of land. Lu Guoping estimated that this was her limit, maybe most of them would have to wait for Brother Changzheng to come and pull it out.
After Lu Guoping left, Su Mo began to squat down and pluck peanuts.
She grabbed the peanut seedlings against the ground and absorbed the wood energy from the bottom up. At the beginning, the degree of the plant was not mastered well, and the absorption was a little dry, and then it gradually mastered the degree, about one-third of the energy absorbed by each plant, so that the peanut seedlings did not look much different, even if they looked a little dry, they would think that they were sunburned.
Su Mo absorbed the energy while pulling it out. Originally, what Lu Guo gave to Su Mo equally was a sandy land that was easier to pull. After the peanut seedlings were absorbed by Su Mo, the grip of the rhizome was not so strong, and it was easier to pull it up.
Soon, Su Mo pulled out a large piece of land.
When Lu Guoping plucked peanuts for a while and got up to see if the team members were lazy, he found that Su Mo had pulled out a large piece of land, and he didn't look much worse than himself.
This year's squad leader is not so easy to be. It is not only necessary to play an active and leading role and do the work quickly and well, but also to supervise the work of the team members to prevent some people from stealing and playing tricks and damaging the collective assets.
Every day is the first to come and the last to go.
Lu Guoping was elected as the team leader by the villagers because he worked fast and well.
Lu Guoping blinked in disbelief and found that it was really a big piece.
Could it be that Brother Long March came just now?
But he looked left and right, and did not find the shadow of Lu Changzheng.
And during the time he was observing, Su Mo pulled out a small piece of land. Only then did Lu Guoping believe that it was really Su Mo who pulled it out himself.
Lu Guoping was shocked!
He is really powerful on the Long March, and in just a few days, a backward worker has been transformed into a labor activist by him.
If he came back to be the captain of the brigade, they would have been an advanced brigade long ago.
When Lu Changzheng came over, he found that Su Mo had pulled out a large piece of land, and he was a little incredulous, so he hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, did you pull this out?" ”
As soon as Lu Changzheng approached, Su Mo immediately stopped absorbing energy.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"My daughter-in-law is amazing." Lu Changzheng hurriedly boasted.
It's really unseemly, he thought that she was delicate, not the material for farm work, but he looked at it now, and the speed of pulling it was not slower than that of his mother.
"I don't need you to help me pull it, you can help me pick peanuts to the brigade headquarters to dry Guping."
Pulling peanuts is not just about pulling them, you have to pick peanuts to the sun-dried valley and let those aunts pick them. The peanut seedlings should also be collected and given to the donkeys and cattle of the production team in winter.
Lu Changzheng quickly bundled a few bundles of peanuts on the ground, picked a bundle at each end of the bamboo pole, and carried it to the team headquarters, with a neat speed.
Lu Guoping's little fan brother who watched it was praised again in his heart.
What is he really doing with Brother Changzheng, that's all first.
Lu Guoping bundled his peanuts and chased Lu on the Long March.
Seeing that some people had come back picking peanuts one after another, the children in the village who had been waiting for a long time set off one by one with small bamboo baskets.
When peanuts are pulled, there will always be something missing in the field, so the children will go to the field to pick up these leftover peanuts. The peanuts you pick up can be taken to the brigade for au pairs, or you can take them home and eat them yourself.
In the past, some aunts would deliberately leave some for their children to pick up, but after being punished several times, this kind of behavior of picking up socialist wool gradually disappeared.
