"Brother Ziwen, I've brought you food."
As soon as Zhou Ziwen put down his work, Chen Qiaoyi came to the field with a basket.
When Zhou Ziwen saw Chen Qiaoyi, a warm smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Yiyi, for even making a special trip."
Chen Qiaoyi opened the basket, which contained Steaming meals: "I know you're busy and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well at lunch, so sister Shiying and I prepared some."
Zhou Ziwen took the basket and saw that it contained not only his favorite braised pork , as well as a few white flour steamed buns and some cold dishes, I felt a warm current in my heart: "Thank you so much, you are so thoughtful."
Chen Qiaoyi sat down on a stone nearby and watched Zhou Ziwen eating with a smile: "Brother Ziwen, eat slowly, I'll wait for you here."
The surrounding team members saw this scene , all cast envious glances.
Everyone knows that Zhou Ziwen is not only a good laborer, but also a blessed man with two such caring wives.
Zhou Ziwen finished his meal quickly, and then handed the basket to Chen Qiaoyi: "Yiyi, I'm full."
Chen Qiaoyi took the basket and stood up: " Brother Ziwen, please continue your work, I’m going back.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded, watched Chen Qiaoyi leave, then turned back to the field and continued to lead the team members to harvest rice.
The afternoon sun shines brighter, but the team members’ enthusiasm remains unchanged. Zhou Ziwen encouraged everyone while cutting the rice: "Everyone, work harder, we can finish the work before the sun goes down."
As time goes by, the rice in the rice fields is gradually harvested. In the evening, when the last bunch of rice was cut, the team members let out a burst of cheers to celebrate that the day's hard work finally came to fruition.
Zhou Ziwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the piles of rice, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment. He turned around and said to the team members: "Everyone has worked hard today. Let's take a rest first and wait until the sun is not so strong before moving the rice."
The team members sat down one after another, drank water, rested, and enjoyed A moment of peace after labor. Zhou Ziwen also found a shady place to sit down and relax his tired body.
After resting for a while, Zhou Ziwen stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Okay, everyone, get ready, we will start carrying the rice."
The team members stood up one after another, picked up the tools, and began to move the harvested rice. The rice is transported to the drying field. Although the rice was heavy, everyone moved quickly and quickly completed the transportation of the rice.
The sun gradually sets and the sky begins to darken. Zhou Ziwen and his team members completed the day's autumn harvest work. Although they were tired, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
"Everyone did a good job today, let's continue tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen encouraged everyone.
The team members nodded and said they would continue to work hard tomorrow. Afterwards, everyone started packing their tools and getting ready to go home.
Zhou Ziwen also packed up his farm tools and went home with the members of the mushroom team.
Back home, Chen Shiying had already prepared dinner, and the three of them sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food after a hard day's work.
“I’m really tired today, but I’m very happy to see so much rice.” Zhou Ziwen said while eating.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, although the autumn harvest is hard, it always makes people feel satisfied when harvesting."
After dinner, the three of them cleaned up together After eating the dishes, we sat in the yard and enjoyed the tranquility of the night. Nights in the countryside are always so peaceful and peaceful, making people feel comfortable.
"We will continue to be busy tomorrow, let's all take a rest early." Zhou Ziwen stood up and stretched.
Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi also got up, cleaned up the yard together, and then returned to their rooms to rest.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the two sisters, and his heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.
He knows that no matter how hard it is, as long as he returns home, he will get the warmest comfort.
The moonlight shines in the yard, covering the small farmyard with a layer of silver gauze.
Zhou Ziwen stood in the yard, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and felt the tranquility and beauty of the country night.
"Ziwen, come in, it's cold outside." Chen Shiying called softly at the door. Zhou Ziwen nodded and turned back to his room. In the room, Chen Qiaoyi had already made the bed. After the three of them washed briefly, they lay down to rest.
After a tiring day, they soon fell asleep.
The next day, it was still five o'clock, and Zhou Ziwen was woken up by the sound of the village radio.
He rubbed his eyes and quickly got dressed, ready to start a new day's work.
The two sisters were also awakened by the sound of the radio. They put on their clothes and started preparing breakfast.
After breakfast, the three of them walked out of the house together and went to the production team to assemble.
There is a hint of coolness in the morning air, but the faces of the villagers are full of enthusiasm and expectation.
Autumn harvest is the busiest and most hopeful time of the year. Everyone hopes to have a good harvest.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the production team, Wu Dagang and Zhou Weiguo had already begun to assign tasks.
He listened carefully to the tasks assigned to his team, and then led the team members to continue harvesting the areas that were not completed yesterday.
“Attention everyone, today we have to speed up and try to harvest all the remaining rice.” Zhou Ziwen said to the team members.
The team members responded in unison, and then began the intense and orderly harvesting work.
The sun gradually rose, and the sound of sickles cutting rice stalks was heard in the fields again. Pieces of rice were harvested and piled together.
While Zhou Ziwen was working hard, a voice came from far away.
"Zhou Zhiqing, come quickly, an educated youth has fainted."
When Zhou Ziwen heard someone calling him, his heart tightened, and he immediately put down the sickle in his hand and faced the sound. Hurry in the direction.
When he came to the ground, he happened to see several educated youth gathered together, looking a little flustered.
He quickly stepped forward, separated the crowd, and saw a young female educated youth lying on the ground, her face pale. She had obviously suffered from heat stroke due to the high-intensity labor of the autumn harvest and the hot weather.
"Quick, carry her to the shade." Zhou Ziwen directed the people around him, carefully lifted the female educated youth, and moved her to a nearby big tree.
He knew this educated youth. His name seemed to be Li Lanhua. He was an educated youth who had just been to the countryside for a few months.
He squatted down and checked Li Lanhua's breathing and pulse. After confirming that her life was not in danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he took out the cooling oil he carried with him from his pocket, applied it to Li Lanhua's temples and philtrum, and massaged it gently.
"Who has water?" Zhou Ziwen raised his head and asked.
An educated youth handed over a kettle, and Zhou Ziwen took it and gently sprinkled the water on Li Lanhua's forehead and neck to help cool her down.
After a while, Li Lanhua's eyelids moved and she slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Zhou Ziwen, she was a little confused: "I...what's wrong with me?"
"You had heatstroke. Are you feeling better now?" Zhou Ziwen asked with concern.
Li Lanhua nodded and said in a weak voice: "I feel much better now, thank you, Zhou Zhiqing."
Zhou Ziwen stood up and said to the educated youth around him: "Everyone, continue to work , pay attention to heatstroke, if you feel uncomfortable, stop and rest immediately.”
The educated youth nodded one after another to express their understanding. Zhou Ziwen gave some more instructions, then helped Li Lanhua stand up and let her rest under the shade of a tree. (End of this chapter)
