In the kitchen, Yang Ju is busy on the stove, one pot is steaming rice, and the other pot is ready to be used for stir-frying.

Seeing Chen Fan come in, she was slightly stunned, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Chen Fan shook his hand, "You go out to rest for a while, and I will take care of logistics during this time." ”

Yang Ju's hands were busy, "No, I'm almost ready, just get some food and make some rice balls." ”

Chen Fan saw that she didn't leave, so he directly pushed her out, "Let you go out, just go out, and leave the kitchen to me." ”

Then he looked at the chopped vegetables at the bottom of the pot, "You can eat rice balls in the morning, and it's strange that you can eat at noon and night, I'll get it here." ”

Yang Ju could only pout, and was pushed out with both hands.

Chen Fan was busy in the kitchen for a while, and after a while, breakfast was ready.

It is said that it is a rice ball, but it is actually a pot of Yangzhou fried rice with bacon grains, and the bacon grains are still added by Chen Fanhou.

Then add a large bowl of egg broth.

After eating huhulala, Jiang Lili and the four of them also had spirits, and they were ready to go out with a sickle.

Chen Fan was not idle, took the drawing board on his back, and took out a horse lamp and flashlight that had not been used for a long time, "This one is illuminated." ”

It's not dawn yet, and even the little starlight just now has faded, and the darkness before dawn says that at this time, it may be okay to go out and walk, but if you go to work in the fields, this little light is not enough.

Jiang Lili hurriedly said, "You can't bring the lantern, there is an open flame and kerosene in it, if it is broken, it will cause a big disaster." ”

Although the horse lantern is very safe, it is an open flame after all, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, at this time, any possible hidden dangers must be eliminated.

Yang Ju, "And the light will attract mosquitoes." ”

Huang Ying, "Walking from here to the field, the captain has to explain things, and when the official start of work begins, you can see it." ”

Liu Dan looked left and right, and then nodded vigorously, "Mmmm!" ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he put the horse lantern back again, only bringing a flashlight, "Then let's go." ”

The five of them left the Educated Youth Courtyard together, and at this time, from the village in front, there were already people scattered down and walked towards the fields to the west.

As a result, it was useless for Chen Fan to bring a flashlight, because everyone didn't bring it on, if he turned on the flashlight, it would affect the sight of others, and if he didn't get it, he would not be able to see the road clearly.

Chen Fan was tall, and someone could see him at a glance, so he immediately greeted him loudly, "Teacher Chen, are you going to the ground too?" ”

He turned to look over, but he couldn't see who it was, so he closed his eyes and shouted, "I'll go paint a few pictures." ”

Someone over there immediately shouted, "Teacher Chen, it's hard work, the coordinator of the whole team, it is estimated that you got up so early and followed the field." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "That's not, Secretary Yang of the brigade department must have gotten up earlier, maybe they are all on the ground at this time." ”

"Secretary Yang and Captain Zhang are in charge of production, and they are cadres, they must be different, other co-ordinators don't have to care, just do their own work."

He was talking about custodians, accountants, hygienists (barefoot doctors), private teachers, veterinarians, swineherds, duckherds, and so on.

The production brigade will nominally not ask them to go to the field, but some people will also go over to help themselves, but on the one hand, there will be no mandatory requirements for them, on the other hand, even if they take the initiative to help, the time and intensity of labor will definitely not be as good as other members, which is also one of the invisible benefits of the coordinator.

Chen Fan laughed, "I am the correspondent of the team, and it is also my job to write reports in the field." ”

", you're a correspondent and you don't get a job, and when can't you write a report, do you have to do it at this time? If you want me to say, the brigade should give you an extra job, then the correspondent and the data clerk are all working for nothing, not to mention taking two copies, it is not too much to take one together. ”

There was a chorus from the others, "Not too much, not too much, definitely not too much." ”

Chen Fan listened to their nonsense, and said with a smile, "If I take three jobs, you don't think it's too much, I think it's too much." If you want me to say, instead of taking an extra job, it's better to make the value of each job a little higher.

It was written in the newspaper that in some places, a job is worth 3 cents, a job is 3 yuan, and the dividends at the end of the year are two or three hundred, except that there are no workers' tickets and welfare goods, and the income is higher than that of workers.

Let's do a good job in production, and strive to get a share of 3 cents, and compare the workers in the town! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shouted in unison.

Voices came from all directions, and then spread in all directions, adding a bit of noise to the cold early morning.

After a while, they arrived at the ground, and hundreds of people were scattered on the ridge of the field, and it seemed that the whole team was coming, waiting for Captain Yang to announce the start of the double robbery.

In fact, it's almost the same if people don't all come.

In the double rush season, there is one in the whole team, except for the elderly with limited mobility and children under the age of 10, all other men, women and children must be dispatched, so in addition to adults, there are many half-old children here.

They were holding their mother's hand, and most of them were still dozing. But when the double rush begins, it is also necessary to put into intense labor.

But they don't need to harvest, but when the adults harvest, the adults lead the children, and the older children lead the children, and they are responsible for holding the harvested ears of rice together, and those who have strength have to tie them up, and those who have no strength wait for the adults to bind them.

After harvesting, they also have to pick up the rice ears left in the field to "return the grains to the warehouse".

And at this time, not only half-grown children, but also many children of 4 or 5 years old have to participate, carrying a basket to pick up ears of rice in the back.

This is not play, but real labor, and it can be said that every penny of labor in the production team is utilized.

Captain Yang stood on a relatively high ground earthen bun, holding a sickle and shouting, "The work assignment is according to what I said yesterday, is there anything unclear?" ”

Everyone looked left and right, but not one spoke.

Captain Yang didn't waste time, "Okay, I announce that the 6th squad of the Lujiawan Production Brigade has officially started the summer double robbery." ”

Then there was a loud yell, "Put up the flag for me." ”

As soon as the words fell, several red flags were immediately raised and marched in different directions.

There are different characters written on it, there are "Lujiawan 6 Team", there are "6 Militia Squads", there are "Advanced Women's Groups", and there are "Labor Activist Squads".

Even Jiang Lili was the only one left in the Educated Youth Academy, and there was a banner of "Lujiawan Educated Youth", which was inserted in the Educated Youth Field.

In general, there are not many people, but there are many famous halls.

Chen Fan and the others were standing on the ridge of Zhiqingtian at this time, and when Captain Yang finished speaking, Huang Ying turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, let's go to the ground." ”

He looked at the four of them and nodded slightly, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lili couldn't help blushing a little, she thought of the last time she was cutting her foot when she planted rice, and felt that Chen Fan was talking about herself.

Yang Ju grinned and said, "It's okay, it's not the first time we've gone to the ground, we've long been used to it." ”

After saying that, he walked down the ridge with his sickle, bent down and began to harvest.

Jiang Lili, Huang Ying, and Liu Dan were in a row with her, gathering at a distance of about one meter, marching together to the other end of the rice field.

As the rice fields are stirred, some small flying insects rise into the air, some flutter and fly away, and some fall on people, and they will hurt when they are stung.

Chen Fan waved away a few insects, looked at their backs, and then raised his head to look at the sky, the darkest time had passed, a glimmer of light appeared faintly in the sky, and the whole world also had two colors, and the crowd in the rice field was not as vaguely unclear as just now.

He was not busy going anywhere else, so he opened his painting bag on the ridge, took out the shelf, put the drawing board on the shelf, and then took the brush and began to paint.

At half past six, the loudspeaker of the production team started broadcasting half an hour earlier than before.

Zhang Cui'e's voice echoed in the sky above Lujiawan, "Comrades members, comrades, good morning, it's the season of double rush every summer, and every summer, it's time to harvest early rice and plant late rice,......"

Chen Fan raised his head and looked in the direction of the loudspeaker, with an uncontrollable smile in his eyes.

This article was written by Zhang Cui'e herself, and he didn't modify it much, so he asked her to broadcast it directly.

Although there are still many flaws, no matter what you do, walking with your hands thrown off is the first step towards success and the first step to cultivating self-confidence.

Then it will be easier for yourself!

From hazy till dawn, from sunrise to noon. The members of the club were working in the rice fields, and the sound of the loudspeaker over Lujiawan never stopped.

After the news broadcast of the county radio station, Zhang Cui'e played a song to everyone, or read a report on advanced deeds in the newspaper to cheer everyone on.

Someone harvested Chen Fan's side and laughed loudly, "Teacher Chen, this apprentice is doing a good job." ”

Chen Fan turned his head to look over and said with a smile, "There is a good saying, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal, you say that I teach well, and I also say that she has understanding." Again, in addition to learning well, the most important thing is that she has this mind, and today's broadcast was not arranged by me, but by herself. ”

The people next to him all nodded their heads one after another.

"That's the same, yesterday Bailang Lake started to double rob, and their broadcast didn't move. It is estimated that this time, our broadcast in Lujiawan will be in the limelight again. ”

As soon as these words came out, bursts of laughter suddenly came from around.

I didn't have such a lively double robbery before, although there were no loudspeakers at that time, but there were above the commune, and I didn't see them lively.

So in the end, it is the radio station in Lujiawan that does it well!

The sun is creeping up little by little, and it hurts hotly on people's bodies. The temperature also rose, and even if there were gusts of wind, it did not dry the sweat from people's bodies.

Chen Fan carried a drawing board, tossed and turned under each flag, drawing sketches one by one.

People who were still energetic in the morning were a little exhausted at this time, and even strong laborers in their twenties and thirties were panting when they walked.

Carrying the burden?

Oh, they're holding their breath!

Chen Fan raised his head and looked at the sky, estimated that it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and then packed his painting bag and walked back.

If it was usual, someone would definitely greet him and talk to him, but now even if he meets him head-on, he just smiles at him, and then keeps carrying the ears of rice and hurrying away.

Women and a small number of men are the main force in harvesting the rice, and it is the children of all ages who clean up the scattered ears of rice and bundle them, and it is all the work of the men, who have to carry these ears of rice to the floor of each house, where there will be an elderly man who will disassemble the bundles of rice handles, and then use a nail rake to break up the rice handles and spread them on the ground to dry.

As for the old woman, she should be busy in front of the stove at this time, preparing lunch for the family in the field.

You can only eat two meals when you work, but you must eat three meals during the double robbery, and you must try to eat better, otherwise your body will definitely not be able to stand it.

If there are no old people in the house, it will be miserable, and the women will come back from the fields and have to rush to cook in front of the stove and prepare water for the afternoon.

Chen Fan is going to play the role of "old woman" now.

He didn't think about going to the field to harvest this sin, especially after watching the morning's labor, the biggest feeling was that if he let himself go, it might not work.

It's not that the body can't bear it, but it can't stand the suffering.

With the scorching sun on his head, bending over in the rice field, bending is a morning, and he doesn't even have time to straighten his waist to rest, because everyone is rushing to harvest time, and if you straighten your waist a few more times, the delay may be to harvest one less ridge of land.

In case if you lose this ridge because of the lack of harvest, the follow-up rush to plant and dry is delayed, and then you encounter a sudden rainstorm, the loss will be great!

In this case, everyone is actually suffering twice as much physically and mentally, which is really sinful.

Anyway, Chen Fan thought that he couldn't endure this hardship.

But he still has no problem with logistics.

Quickly returned to the Educated Youth Academy, put the painting bag in the room, and then kicked the two dogs away, then carried a vegetable basket and went to the vegetable field behind.

When people are too tired, they must not eat big fish and meat, otherwise they are prone to indigestion, and they are too tired and have no appetite, and they can't eat fish and meat.

Therefore, the dishes made at this time should be as light as possible, convenient to eat quickly, and easy to digest. However, due to the need to undertake high-intensity labor and not without nutrition, it must be able to withstand consumption and not be hungry easily, which is a test of cooking skills.

He looked around the vegetable garden and had a plan in his heart.

First picked some cucumbers, eggplants, beans, grabbed a few peppers, went to the kitchen to clean and cut them, went to the room to cut some bacon, took a few eggs, and scooped a big bowl of pepper that Yang Ju took from home in the kitchen, and then fished some small fish in the fish tank.

Stir-fried cucumbers with bacon cubes, eggplant beans, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and finally a bowl of small fish with pepper paste.

This is the first meal "double robbery recipe" prepared by Chen Fan for them.

Squeeze pepper to paste, small fish to rot, the two mixed together, both appetizing and nutritious, other dishes are also light and delicious, but there is no lack of oil, storage can withstand hunger.

You don't need to use the soup, just cook a pot of porridge, steam a basket of rice, eat porridge first to open your appetite, and then eat dry rice to fill up.

That is, steamed steamed buns should be made noodles, and it is too late to do it today, but it is okay tomorrow, otherwise, it is good to eat steamed buns with porridge and vegetables.

When the meal was ready, Chen Fan added two more fires to the stove and boiled a large pot of hot water.

The table was then moved to the outside on the field.

It's hot and it's more comfortable to eat out.
