Chapter 10 Working
Northeastern stew is a specialty, but there is no seasoning at this time. The only thing with more is salt. Others are like the oil bar. A large pot of stew is poured out of the pot. There is not even a drop of oil in it, and it looks like it has been boiled in plain water.
Lu Miao took a little of it in an aluminum lunch box with the words "Serve the People" printed on it and tasted it. He felt that the taste was not what he wanted and decided not to touch it again.
She didn't like it, but Geng Xiaoyun and the others ate happily. The large pot of potatoes and sweet potatoes was quickly swept away, and there was no waste.
Fortunately, Ren Bingxin had the foresight to stew extra sweet potatoes, otherwise she would have been hungry at night.
The braised sweet potato tastes good except that the skin is a bit dirty.
Lu Miao scooped it up with a spoon and ate it. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste won her heart, "I will eat this again tomorrow."
Ren Bingxin agreed: "Okay. , anyway It’s not troublesome.”
Lu Miao said, “Then you can pick a big one for me tomorrow.”
Ren Bingxin chuckled: “No problem!”
When they washed up at night, the others fetched water and wiped them before going to bed. Lu Miao was not used to it and could not take a shower. She had to wipe it carefully, right?
Lu Miao fetched two more basins of water back and forth, and Yang Xiaojing was speechless.
Gu Ying gently pushed Yang Xiaojing, "A little water is not worth anything, just use it."
Yang Xiaojing whispered: "Isn't it hard to pick it out?"< br>
“Forget it, they just arrived...”
Thinking that it is better to do less than to do more, Gu Ying smiled in a low voice: "Go to bed quickly, I will work one more day carrying water tomorrow."
Yang Xiaojing nodded helplessly.
Lu Miao didn't know about this. After washing, she went to bed and lay down. She had slept in the afternoon, and the bed board kept creaking. She was not used to it. This night was the same as the night before. Didn't fall asleep until midnight.
Time always passes quickly during sleep. Lu Miao felt that Gu Ying pushed her awake not long after she fell asleep.
“Let’s get to work, Lu Miao.”
Opening his eyes drowsily, Lu Miao saw that Ren Bingxin had also been pushed awake.
"You two quickly pack up and go out to work early. If your hands and feet are fast enough, maybe you can come back early at noon."
After Gu Ying reminded them, she went to the room over there. Call Geng Xiaoyun and the others.
Lu Miao slowly got up and washed up. When she went out, there were only three of her, Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun.
Ren Bingxin asked: "Where is Chen Miaomiao?"
"Harmful!" Geng Xiaoyun scratched his head, "I saw that her health was not good at all. She probably had a heat cold yesterday, and she still had a slight fever in the morning, so she had to ask for leave."
Ren Bingxin was surprised. , "No. Asking for leave in just one day? "
Geng Xiaoyun said: "It's a bit bad to ask for leave on the first day, but this person really can't get up, so there's nothing he can do about it!"
Ren Bingxin nodded, Think about it too.
Geng Xiaoyun looked at Lu Miao: "I said that Lu Miao, you should pay attention to your work today and don't act like that person. These two black people are not familiar with each other and are sick. Even if it’s a delay in earning work points, people still suffer.”
Lu Miao yawned lazily, carefully avoiding the thorns protruding from the roadside, "I know."
She's not stupid, doesn't she know where to hide when she's hot?
The large circle from southwest to north of Dahe Village is surrounded by mountains, and the southeast and east are adjacent to water. The terrain of the village ranges from high to low, with the lowest place being the pond in front of the educated youth point.
With the pond as the center, to the south is the fertile farmland where the production team gathers. To the north is the adjacent educated youth point. Behind the educated youth point, the terrain gradually rises, and beyond that are the houses of the commune members.
The back of the house is against the back mountain, where there are some scattered mountainous areas, where the production team usually grows some coarse grains.
Looking beyond those mountains to the north, you can see the endless mountains... Most of the male educated youths have allocated land to the south of the village. There are fertile fields where large areas of rice and potatoes are grown, as well as rapeseed that is taller than a person. field.
Lu Miao moved to the mountains in the northeast, where there were scattered acres of peanuts and corn. Her job was to weed the corn fields.
Because I had just arrived and didn’t know the place well, after receiving the job from the team, Chen Guifen thoughtfully arranged for a guide.
They say they are guiding the way, but in fact they are all assigned to work nearby.
Looking at the old farmer's look, Lu Miao learned to carry the hoe on her shoulders, but she suddenly ignored her understanding of the terrain and climbed the hillside path. When she turned the corner, she hooked the hoe on the small tree beside the road, which almost killed her. Bring over.
Fortunately, someone behind her pressed her shoulder and gave her a hand.
Lu Miao turned around to say thank you, but the hoe on her shoulder was suddenly pinched by someone, and a low and impatient male voice came:
"Can you pay more attention?"
< br>Fu Jingyou stood behind Lu Miao carrying the load. He was holding the pole with one hand and squeezing the handle of Lu Miao's hoe with the other hand.
If Fu Jingyou hadn't been quick and grabbed the hoe handle in time, the hoe would have hit him.
If it’s just a hoe handle, it’s okay, just hit it once.
But if the hoe is swung on the body or head, it’s hard to say what the result will be.
Lu Miao quickly put down the hoe from his shoulder and stepped aside, "I'll be careful next time! You go ahead!"
Fu Jingyou looked at her silently and said coldly: "You go ahead."
Lu Miao turned around, glanced at the person walking in front from a distance, and stepped onto the trail again.
The people walking together just now were all elderly uncles and aunts. They spoke the local dialect very fast and long. Lu Miao couldn't understand it well and couldn't follow the words. During the ten minutes' journey, she was all I came here holding back.
Right now, when she met someone of a similar age, she couldn’t hold back her little mouth and kept asking questions:
“Fu Xiaoliu, what did you pick? Where are you going? A piece of land?”
“…”
Fu Jingyou remained silent.
The little girl Lu Miao lost her temper. She stopped and stamped her feet to look at him, "I'm talking to you!"
Fu Jingyou glanced at her, "The manure needs to be sent to the fields to the west. "
"What? Manure?"
When he heard it was manure, Lu Miao jumped three feet away.
But after seeing clearly what Fu Jingyou picked in the bucket, she said angrily: "Isn't this just black soil? You lied to me!"
Fu Jingyou responded coldly: "This is what fermented fertilizer looks like."
Lu Miao gradually came to his senses , but after hearing Fu Jingyou say it was manure, she still felt a little uncomfortable, so she jogged to distance herself: "You walk slower and stay farther away from me."
She distanced herself a little, not afraid Now that he knew how to hit people, Lu Miao took up the hoe again.
Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun were also assigned to the land in the west. It is said that the terrain there is lower, there are ponds, a lot of soybeans are planted, and there are several acres of open land.
Ren Bingxin used to be responsible for weeding the soybean fields, while Geng Xiaoyun was responsible for preparing the land, which seemed to be used for planting cotton seedlings in a few days.
Lu Miao pursed her red lips and asked, "Did you send this fertilizer to the cotton fields? Is it used as base fertilizer?"
"Do you still know about base fertilizer?"
