Chapter 80 Night Watch, Stealing Melon
As soon as Chen Miaomiao’s voice came out at the beginning, the table became quiet.
Chen Miaomiao's words were obviously provocative. Everyone was thinking about how to expose this problem. However, Chen Miaomiao and Lu Miao were both talking with guns and sticks. They were full of gunpowder. Everyone thought I didn’t know where to interrupt, so I could only remain silent.
Yang Xiaojing broke the embarrassment, and the table immediately became lively.
Chen Miaomiao was not convinced, but knew that she could not defeat Lu Miao, so they all lowered their heads and took big bites of sweet potatoes without saying a word.
But Lu Miao would not let her go so easily.
If you want to be disgusted, you can disgust people. If you can't explain it, just run away and pretend that nothing happened. How can such a good thing happen?
"As for me, the quality of my work is definitely not good, so I can't blame others for talking about me. But Chen Miaomiao..."
Lu Miao put down her chopsticks and leaned her exquisite body to one side. Holding her chin with one hand, lazily and with a hint of silkiness She looked at Chen Miaomiao provocatively and disdainfully:
“You have always been the quickest worker in the educated youth camp, but you must seize the opportunity to work hard and work a lot. The appearance of our educated youth camp is terrible. It’s all up to you.”
"At this point, there is no need for you to touch me!"
Chen Miaomiao said "hum", raised her chin, and straightened her back. She looked as if she was the savior of the entire educated youth spot. Similar.
Lu Miao's eyes twitched and she couldn't communicate with the fool. She picked up her lunch box and walked out.
Ren Bingxin asked: "Why are you going?"
"It's so hot. I'll go to the well behind to wash the lunch box and wash my face by the way."
"Huh? Then wait for me, I'm going too!"
Ren Bingxin followed her out of the main room with her lunch box. Across the threshold, their voices drifted away:
"It's really hot today and the well water is cold. Let's take off our trouser legs later." Hold it higher and pour more water. It’s time to take a nap when it’s cool!”
“Okay, okay.”
The south has officially entered the peak of farming, and many areas are busy, including Nanhu! Of course, the town commune will not be an exception.
Everyone was busy. Lu Miao rushed the ducks to the shelves. Even if she was reluctant, she could only follow the big guys around. She spent a few days in the paddy fields to cut grains, and then went to the valleys in the back mountains to harvest the wheat that was planted in winter last year. .
The two threshing floors had no time to spare. They finished threshing the rapeseed in the front, then pressed the millet and threshed the wheat kernels. At the same time, there was also the work of transplanting rice seedlings.
Planting rice seedlings is different from cutting millet. The fields are filled with water. Having the experience of stepping on mud to cut millet, Lu Miao did not resist transplanting rice seedlings, but someone later said that there were leeches in the paddy fields. , she refused to go no matter what.
Having the ability to grunt, stomp, and yell three times, He Hongjin couldn't do anything with her.
Coupled with Chen Guifen's pillow style, He Hongjin had a donkey face and half-heartedly assigned Lu Miao other jobs.
Lu Miao then switched from paddy fields to threshing fields.
It was not her turn to drive the cattle to crush the millet or winnow the millet. All she did was trivial tasks, such as spreading rice ears, harvesting straw, helping to bundle the straw, and then driving the members of the team. Free-range chickens, or greedy tits flying over from the mountains, to prevent them from stealing the grain.
In the beginning, the threshing floor only threshed grain in the morning, lunch and evening. It was not too busy, but it couldn’t stand the heat and it was still uncomfortable to be outside.
Later, as more and more ears of rice were harvested and transported back, the east and west threshing floors were divided. Each threshing floor was divided into two or three fields, and two or three fields were threshed at the same time. Field millet.
There are only two oxen in the team. Except for the two oxen dragging the stone roller, the others rely on human power to thresh the grains. It can be done, but it will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed. The weather in summer is unpredictable. For fear of heavy rains and thunderstorms, He Hongjin can only arrange for members to work overtime day and night. It is common for the two threshing floors to be busy grinding millet at night. Many times, it is too late to harvest the millet. , it is necessary to arrange manpower to keep vigil.
One time Lu Miao had a heat stroke and took an afternoon off to rest. Later in the night, she stayed vigil at the threshing floor, and there was a quota for her. Besides her, there was also Gu Ying.
Both she and Gu Ying were petite. Geng Xiaoyun was worried and said he would accompany them both in the evening.
Ren Bingxin and Yang Xiaojing didn't get along well, and they didn't want to stay in the educated youth spot, so they joined in the fun and said they wanted to be together.
Lu Miao nodded like a fool, with a hundred wishes in her heart. However, Gu Ying had different opinions and repeatedly persuaded Ren Bingxin several times.
He said he was going to watch the night, but in fact he slept there overnight, and the one who was really watching carefully was someone else.
But even so, it was not fun or comfortable. The people sleeping in the threshing floor were trampled by straw, which made my body itchy. The quilt was made of heaven and used as a bed, and there were many mosquitoes.
Afraid that Ren Bingxin’s poor rest would affect her work performance the next day, Gu Ying told all the good and bad. It was obvious that Ren Bingxin was determined, so Gu Ying stopped talking.
After having dinner and taking a shower at night, Lu Miao took off the sheets on the bed and took them with her. Before going out, she thought of the cucumbers in the vegetable patch. She didn’t worry about stepping on snakes in the dark sky. Her eyes Shining brightly, he jumped and ran towards the vegetable patch:
"Wait for me! I saw a few cucumbers a few days ago. They must have grown up now. I will pick one and we will take it over to eat. The rest will be picked at noon tomorrow. Then we will use vinegar. Mix it up and let’s eat together.”
"Okay, then look at your feet."
"Oh!"
Lu Miao was full of joy, but when she walked into the vegetable field, her good mood was instantly poured with cold water.
“Where are my cucumbers!”
Lu Miao’s eyes turned red, and her voice suddenly became sharp, “Which of you picked my cucumbers?!”
Her voice was choked with a hint of crying, which was very different from usual. Geng Xiaoyun and others heard this and hurried over to check the situation, "What's wrong, why are you still crying?"
Lu Miao twitched, and her chest He was ups and downs violently, angry and heartbroken, "See for yourselves!"
It was pitch black and couldn't see anything, so Geng Xiaoyun and the others could only get closer and take a closer look.
As I got closer, I saw that not only were the cucumbers gone, but the leaves of the melon vines wrapped around the nearby shelf were also dry and curled, obviously caused by someone violently pulling them.
"Who is so heavy-handed? The melons and vines are already wilting, why don't we just give this one a vine? How will we grow melons in the future?" Geng Xiaoyun said "tsk" and rubbed it. forehead, "Which of you did this? Why don't you be more careful."
There was no blame in her anger, but it was full of countless regrets.
Ren Bingxin and Gu Ying said hurriedly: "We have been busy these past few days, and we haven't come here."
I wanted to say something else, but when I heard that Lu Miao's nasal voice was obviously getting worse, she The two looked at each other and fell silent at the right time. , and comforted him in an instant:
“Forget it, Miaomiao, it’s just a few cucumbers...it will grow in a few days, don’t cry.”
“These are a few cucumbers. Question? ”
Lu Miao was so angry that her lips couldn't stop trembling. She curled up her fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said angrily:
"Just pick it and eat it. Why did you tear the melon vine? He ate it." If he doesn’t eat the first crop, why won’t others eat it?”
