Chapter 6 The Eldest Lady
Happy time is always short-lived. Early the next morning, Lu Miao was shaken awake.
Gu Ying reminded her hurriedly:
"I have to go to work, hurry up! It will be very busy at noon, so you have to go to the team to collect the advance rations before going to work. Come back!”
It’s all because of the late chat last night that Gu Ying got up late today.
She hurriedly combed her hair. When she turned around and saw that Lu Miao was still asleep with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Gu Ying immediately broke out: "Lu Miao!" Tuntun sat up and said unhappily:
"Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't get it in the morning, so I waited for the captain to be busy at noon. Isn’t it the same to collect it after you finish it?”
Gu Ying took the toothbrush and towel she packed up last night and put it into her hand, pushing her out, “This won’t work, you just came here, you have to give it to the captain. Leave a good impression.”
If he is not active in collecting rations, what else can this person hope for?
Lu Miao exhaled and had no choice but to wash up patiently. When she came back, she was depressed again because of combing her hair.
She didn’t have a comb, so she borrowed it from Ren Bingxin for the time being.
She knows how to comb ponytails, and she can also do various kinds of buns and princess haircuts, but braids are really difficult for her.
When Ren Bingxin was tying her hair, Lu Miao looked at it carefully. At the time, it seemed quite simple. But when it was her turn to do it, her hand seemed to have its own ideas and couldn't turn around.
After struggling for a long time, all the male educated youths outside could not wait to leave first. Not only was Lu Miao's braid not tied properly, but her original ponytail also had a bulge here and a dent there.
Lu Miao slapped the comb on Ren Bingxin's bed, kicked off her shoes and lay down on the bed again, "I'm not going!"
Ren Bingxin almost laughed out of anger, and coaxed and dragged her up from the bed. "My eldest lady, let me comb it for you. I'll comb it for you!"
Lu Miao's slender brows were furrowed Together, they puffed their lips and argued arrogantly:
"It's not that I don't know how to do it. I, I used to comb my hair in front of a mirror. There is no mirror here..."
Ren Bingxin agreed casually: "I understand, I understand. Okay, put on your shoes and go, we'll be left behind soon."
Lu Miao took the braid from behind in disbelief, "So fast!"
"Can you?" Holding her arm and walking out, Ren Bingxin took care of her self-esteem very considerately, "Come back later and practice, you She is so smart, she can do it even without a mirror."
"Of course."
Lu Miao answered firmly, she is no worse than others, she can definitely do what others can do.
Lu Miao straightened her back and immediately felt full of energy.
Go to the captain's house to receive advance rations. Both male and female educated youths are distributed according to adult rations. Male educated youths receive thirty kilograms a month, while female educated youths receive twenty-eight kilograms. They are all coarse grains.
If you choose fresh whole grains, the exchange ratio with dry whole grains is 3:1.
If you choose refined grains, the exchange ratio with dry coarse grains is 1:3.
Fresh coarse grains include potatoes and sweet potatoes, while dry coarse grains include corn kernels, sorghum rice, and dry sweet potato chips.
There is only one kind of fine grain, and that is brown rice.
Receiving advance rations is an on-the-spot option, which is said on-site.
Lu Miao looked around and realized that she had never eaten sorghum rice. She didn’t really want to try it, so she picked the ones she knew and ate some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn kernels.
Brown rice looked really rough, not like fine grain at all, but she still wanted a few kilograms.
The various items weighed more than 20 kilograms in total. Lu Miao didn't bring anything to carry, but Chen Guifen, the captain's wife, was very nice and lent her a basket and a rice bag.
I tried to carry the basket, but I could carry it, but it took about ten minutes to walk to the captain’s home in a winding way to the educated youth spot. Seeing that the sun was getting bigger, Lu Miao didn’t want to get tired. sweat.
Looking around, everyone else was busy, and there were quite a few pockets in front of them, so they probably couldn't count on them.
Lu Miao frowned angrily and suddenly noticed Fu Xiaoliu beside He Hongjin, who was helping to hold the weight.
Her eyes lit up and she waved enthusiastically, "Comrade Fu Xiaoliu, this way! This way!"
Fu Xiaoliu shook his head and looked around before paying attention to the shadow of the courtyard door. people. The little girl's eyebrows were bright and her eyes were shining as if they were hiding stars.
He Hongjin was right beside him, and Fu Xiaoliu didn't dare to step forward rashly.
Chen Guifen reacted first, pushed him and said:
"What's the matter with you kid? Comrade Educated Youth is calling for you, why don't you go over and see if you need anything? "Help."
Fu Jing took a step forward and walked to Lu Miao. In front of her, she asked in a sullen voice: "What are you doing?"
Lu Miao bared her little white teeth, and her face when she smiled was more dazzling than the pearls. She pointed to the rice bag and basket on the ground, not the least bit polite, "I'll carry them." Don’t move, can you help me carry it back?”
Fu Jingyou glanced down and saw clearly what was on the ground. He really felt that he had nothing to see.
Can’t carry such a small amount of stuff?
This girl is really not ordinary squeamish.
He didn't speak for a long time. Lu Miao stamped his feet and asked, "Is that okay?"
Young men are easily criticized when they are alone with girls. Fu Jingyou remained silent and moved Lu Miao's things aside. He moved a little and said in a low voice: "Let's wait until they finish leading us."
Lu Miao instantly regained her bright smile and agreed, "Okay!"
Just wait a while, as long as someone helps her with the work!
On the way back, the educated youths frequently looked back.
Lu Miao had no idea that she was walking at the end behind Fu Jingyou, walking slowly as if on a sightseeing tour.
Seeing a commune member wearing a straw hat and planting rice in the paddy field in the distance, she curiously asked Fu Jingyou:
"Where did they buy their hats?"
"They sell them at supply and marketing cooperatives, and those who are usually handy can make them themselves."
"Oh." Lu Miao nodded and asked again:< br>
“When do educated youths usually have holidays?”
Fu Jingyou replied coldly: “I don’t know.”
Lu Miao took a piece of dogtail grass and played with it in his hand. After being quiet for a while, he asked:
"Then can you make it up?"
Fu Jingyou didn't take any precautions and just answered, "Yes." ",hidden Yue noticed Lu Miao's little thoughts, and he added in time: "No."
Lu Miao raised her eyebrows, "Are you able or not?"
Fu Jingyou Silence fell.
Is it too late to say no now?
The sun in the countryside is so poisonous, and it will be even more poisonous in June. The educated youth don’t know when they will have a holiday, and there is no sunscreen on hand. Lu Miao doesn’t want to get tanned.
She was planning to spend money to ask Fu Jingyou to help her knit a hat, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by someone: "Miaomiao!"
Lu Miao turned slightly, Chen Miaomiao ran toward them in the opposite direction along the field ridge with her rations in her arms.
As she ran closer, Chen Miaomiao couldn't stop panting, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao..."
"What?"
Lu Miao frowned in disgust, pursed her red lips in displeasure, and was as arrogant as a peacock, "Who told you to call me Miaomiao? It's disgusting."< br>Chen Miaomiao's face stiffened, "Lu Miao, Xie Zhiqing said he wanted to see you if he had something to do. He is waiting for you in front now. Go quickly!"
