Chapter 62 The Eve of Busy Farming
Xie Fei stood there blankly, looking at the empty space in front of him and the empty palms of his hands. He felt lost and suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something important.
The scorching sunlight poured down from the gaps between the leaves. In the flickering light and shadow, Xie Fei turned around in confusion. Lu Miao turned her back to him, walking farther and farther...
It seems that from here From that moment on, something became destiny.
Fu Jingyou is restless. He went home, put down his things, cleaned up briefly and went to the team.
He and He Hongjin received the job for tomorrow. Compared with other places, the field where he wanted the job was relatively far away.
In addition, there is not much land. In the past, no other strong laborers in the team were willing to go there, because they always felt that a piece of land as big as a palm would require more effort to walk around than to work. Long time.
Instead of running around wasting time, it is better to choose a larger field near the production team and work hard.
Because many people despised that field, and no one would gossip if they were arranged to go out directly, He Hongjin assigned it to Fu Jingyou.
When Fu Jingyou left, He Hongjin followed behind and said:
"We're going to get busy soon, Xiao Liu. Please put aside your outside matters for now and focus on the team first. Don't delay the harvest. We told the commune meeting last time that the city's rations are tight. This year's target rations are, I’m afraid I will have to pay more than in previous years.”
The target grain is public grain, and it is also mission grain. After each quarter’s harvest, a portion must be selected and handed over.
If the grain quality is poor or substandard, the commune and grain stations will not accept it at all.
Fu Jingyou has nothing to do with the quality of food, but he can contribute to the work.
In addition, He Hongjin specifically asked this matter, and Fu Jingyou was even more incapable of refusing. He immediately agreed, "I understand, uncle."
He Hongjin nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's go back. My body is tired after working for a few days. Let's take a good rest this afternoon. When we get up tomorrow, we can concentrate on the work again. Live."
"Okay."
When he got home, Fu Jingyou didn't take a good rest as He Hongjin said.
Thinking about working tomorrow, Lu Miao will definitely come home at noon. Apart from the few kilograms of Fuqiang noodles that he brought back today, there is nothing else at home to serve with.
Afraid that the pots and bowls would be empty when Lu Miao came over tomorrow, he dug out the fish baskets that he had not yet finished knitting when he was knitting the bamboo hats last time. He sat on the back threshold of the kitchen and hurriedly started knitting again.
I planned to compile it quickly, wait for the evening to dig up some earthworms and small insects, throw them into the ditch when there are few people outside, and try my luck in a hurry.
He was busy on one side and on the other side. In just a blink of an eye, the story of Lu Miao being praised by the female director at the threshing floor became known to everyone.
"Miaomiao, you can do it! You really bring glory to our educated youth comrades!"
During lunch, several girls gathered around Lu Miao with lunch boxes and kept praising Lu Miao. Miao was speechless and embarrassed.
Lu Miao waved her hand, "How big a deal is this? I happened to be seen by the female director while I was working. I really can't keep up with your usual contributions."
"Don't say that, people who work "So much, why does the female director praise you and not others?" Ren Bingxin? Shaking his head like a rattle, "Besides, no matter how small this matter is, it is enough to improve our image in the hearts of the members."
Geng Xiaoyun responded: "This makes sense."
Gu Ying said nothing casually, but nodded her head like garlic. The female director is no better than others. She is an "official" after all, and her speech has a certain dignity and motivation. She recognizes that educated youths are good, so what can others say?
Lu Miao didn't take it seriously, and didn't think that what he did as usual was worthy of praise. But in the following days, as Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun said, the voices of discussion in the team gradually became quieter. As things went on, the educated youths were accepted again, and life seemed to have returned to peace.
Of course, these are all things for later.
At that time, Lu Miao accepted Fu Jingyou's appointment, got up early the next day, packed up and went out, and waited with her chin on the edge of the bamboo forest next to Fu's house.
Not long after, I heard the sound of clattering footsteps coming from the side.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fu Jingyou wearing an old straw hat common in the countryside, with a bamboo basket hanging on his waist, and his light yellow coat turned white after washing.
In the morning, apart from going to the production team to take care of the cows, I don’t know where else I’ve been. Most of the legs of my foggy blue coarse trousers were wet, and they were rolled up high and low.
At this moment, holding the cow rope in one hand and holding the sickle in the other, she was driving the big black cow towards her.
Lu Miao was afraid of the big black bull, so he circled around and stood behind Fu Jingyou and walked slowly.
Afraid of startling the cow, she lowered her voice and asked:
"Fu Jingyou, you helped me herd the cow, what about your work?"
"It's not a problem to graze the cow. Just drive the stakes up when you get to the place and let it graze on its own."
In the production team at this time, the cow was a very precious owner, especially if it was needed immediately in the busy farming season. At this juncture, the cattle must be well fed.
Having said that, herding cattle is indeed an easy job. When you go to the place, you just need to drive the iron stake at the end of the traction rope into the ground, and then let it graze on its own. The most he can do is to keep an eye on him from time to time to prevent the cattle from eating or trampling the nearby crops.
Lu Miao grew up in a big city. Not to mention that she had never done the job of herding cattle, it was the first time she saw live cattle here.
She didn't know the ease of this life, but she had people to worry about for her, and like Ma Daha, she was happy and relaxed.
In the past, Lu Miao only cared about pleasure and was used to being a shopkeeper. She did not pay attention to the work of herding cattle. However, Fu Jingyou's words gave her a clue, "Where exactly? Where are you going?"
See again A glance at the road ahead revealed that this time they were bypassing Fu's house and walking through the bamboo forest path on the side of the threshing floor instead of the bamboo forest behind Fu's house. It was obvious that this was not the way to the back mountain.
Lu Miao looked confused, "Don't you go to the back mountain to herd cattle?"
"Yes." Fu Jingyou responded softly, "Normally, my uncles also go to the back mountain to herd cattle, but today we don't Go.”
Lu Miao was even more confused, “Where are we going?”
Fu Jingyou pretended to be shy at the moment and just smiled without answering:
"You'll find out when you get there."
Lu Miao looked arrogant and pretended to complain and said "hum", looking like She was very much like Lin Daiyu in an old TV series, but after this, she didn't continue to ask questions.
Fu Jingyou drove the cattle through the secluded bamboo forest path. Lu Miao followed him. Now he pulled a bamboo leaf from the bent bamboo, and then went to the roadside and pulled off a dogtail grass. Play around.
