Actor's reincarnation

Chapter 1555 Midnight
At two o'clock in the morning, the piercing wake-up call sounded in the fields.

At this time in the city, almost everyone is still in dreamland.But in most rural areas, especially those in the south, the "Toubanhao" has begun to urge some people to get up.

Generally speaking, the first number refers to the cooks and other people in charge of logistics in the brigade, including Wen Hui.

Wen Hui did not live in the village, but slept in a guard shed on the ground.

It stands to reason that it is spring plowing time, and there are no crops in the field, so there is no need to guard it at all.But Wenhui's status is special, and arranging her to live here is actually punitive.

Wenhui originally lived here alone, but later the brigade arranged for another girl to sleep with her.This girl is from this village, and she was also punished because of her status.

The so-called guard shed is actually a triangular "scissors shed" supported by four logs, with bamboo rafts tied in the middle of the shelves, which can be regarded as beds.Two mats made of bamboo strips cover the triangular roof to shelter from wind and rain.

Coarse cloth curtains were tied at both ends of the shed, and the curtains were broken and small. Whenever there was a little wind, it would inevitably pour water into it.The space in the shed is small, short and narrow. In fact, it is a little bit reluctant to sleep alone, let alone two people?

When Wenhui lived here, the brigade gave her a worn-out and thin quilt. She had made half of the bed and half of the quilt for the first two nights. After the girl moved in, she also had a quilt. A bed, a cover, and the two of them slept under the same quilt.

There is no pillow, Wen Hui is pillowed on a fairly flat piece of wood, and she wraps it in her coat when she sleeps at night.

In fact, the current climate and environment are not bad, the weather is not too cold, and there are no mosquitoes.If it had been two months earlier or two months later, Wenhui would have suffered an old crime if she was still living here.

As soon as the number rang for the first time, Wen Hui was startled awake and jumped up.

Sleepily, she turned her stiff neck and began to shake the girl beside her.

"Jin Xiu? Ou Jinxiu? Get up, we have to help the cook!"

The girl opened her eyes in bewilderment, she couldn't relax for a long time, and said in a crying voice: "I didn't let people go to bed until ten o'clock last night, and I woke them up so early, and they still can't let people live..."

"Stop whining, get up quickly." Wen Hui had already got up quickly and put on her clothes, "Pack up your bedding, I'll go to the river to wash your face, and I'll fetch you a basin of water by the way, don't stay in bed, go late I should be scolded again..."

"I don't want to live anymore!" Jin Xiu broke down and cried.

Wen Hui ignored her, and quickly touched her shoes from the end of the bed to put them on, took off the enamel basin hanging on the side, and jumped out of the bed.

At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, but the night is actually thick, but since Wen Hui came here, she has been going to bed after ten o'clock every night for the past few days, and then woke up at two o'clock.

Can only sleep more than three hours a day.

Wenhui could understand why Jinxiu collapsed. If it hadn't been for the inconceivable incident before parting, she, a civilian worker who had never done farm work, would have been so tired that she could not hold on anymore.But these days, no matter how hard and tiring the brigade assigns her, she can always persevere and complete the amount of tasks assigned every day.

You must know that the work assigned to her is the heaviest and most tiring, which many men may not be able to do, but she, a seemingly thin "Miss in the city", has done it very well.

Everyone in the brigade thought this was incredible and looked at her with admiration.

Because of this, some strange eyes, discrimination, and oppression were actually avoided by Wen Hui virtually.

A "Miss in the city" who can and is willing to do farm work will always make the villagers subconsciously be more tolerant.

From the village to the present, from the initial disdain, hostility and rejection to the approval, kindness and even admiration of most of the villagers now, all this is due to Wenhui's hardworking, intelligent and low-key good image established in these days .

It's a pity that she has a complicated composition. No matter how people look at her with new admiration, most of them dare not approach him, talk to her, or even treat her nicely.

Wenhui's situation has not improved because of this, she still does the heaviest work, lives in the worst place, and eats the least amount of food.

Moreover, in the image Wenhui established, there is no such thing as "not easy to mess with", and she is often bullied by others on weekdays.

There are women who don't like her appearance and maliciously make things difficult for her, there are villains who take pleasure in bullying others, and there are even lewd ruffians who covet Wenhui's appearance and are ready to move.

From now until now, although Wenhui has dispelled waves of malicious and evil thoughts, some bold and short-sighted people have gradually lost their patience, and they have begun to develop from the original foul language to physical manipulation, and even more excessive up.

After holding back for so long, Wenhui felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.

Wenhui has had enough of these days!

Especially what happened last night made Wenhui even more determined.

She knew that she had to change her impression of being weak and bullying, and had to improve her living environment, otherwise, if this continued, sooner or later, she would be swallowed up by the "troublemakers" here, and eventually become a soulless broken man. body.

This was never what she wanted.

At this time, there was generally no electricity in the countryside. At night, the lighting basically relied on homemade kerosene lamps or candles.

As for the big speakers in the village, they are powered by special speaker batteries.

In addition to the loudspeaker, the only electrical appliance in the village is the flashlight in the hands of the production team leader.

As for the pumps and motors used for farm work, each village and town apply for them, and then special personnel maintain them, and each village queues up to use them in turn.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and it is faintly shining on the small path in the field, which makes the dirt road turn white, preventing Wenhui from stepping into the ridge of the field.

She walked all the way, but quickly went through the things that she thought about before going to bed last night in her mind again, carefully deliberating the risks involved in each step.

Wen Hui is very aware of how sensitive her current situation is. Once she starts today, it will be easy to say if it succeeds, but if it fails, it is no exaggeration to describe it as forever.

So she is not qualified to fail, and she has no retreat at all!

After walking for more than a mile, we came to the river.The river is gurgling and the current is fast.

Wenhui skilfully skimmed a branch and chewed it in his mouth, then took out a cloth bag from his pocket, grabbed a handful of grass ash from it, stuffed it into his mouth, dipped the chewed branch into the saliva The wet grass ash began to brush his teeth.

In fact, the countryside at this time was very unhygienic. Almost everyone had bedbugs on their bodies, and almost everyone brushed their teeth very little.

But Wenhui couldn't bear the habit of not paying attention to personal hygiene, so she had to use the oldest method to deal with oral hygiene.

After rinsing her mouth, Wen Hui picked up a handful of water and patted her face.

The icy river water sharpened her thinking. While washing her face, she pondered carefully, and suddenly found a figure reflected in the water waves.

A familiar figure.

Wen Hui was startled, her heart was stirred up, and she froze in place.

She turned her head suddenly, but she saw the shadows of trees whirling and Lin Tao bursting not far away, and there was no half of her figure.

Thinking that that person is far away in the capital now, she laughed at herself.

"I must miss you so much." She murmured to herself, sighed slightly, fetched a basin of water, and walked back with it.

When they returned to the guard shed, Ou Jinxiu had already got up, wrapped the bedding with a piece of bamboo mat and tied it up firmly.

There are many children in the village, and their bedding was stolen twice, leaving them without bedding at night.

Fortunately, they were all found the next day.

Later, at Wen Hui's suggestion, the two began to tie up the bedding with a very special knot that was not easy to untie.

In fact, Ou Jinxiu didn't understand the matter of tying up the bedding. She thought that if she really wanted to steal it, it would be more convenient if people didn't understand the rope and could still steal the bedding.

But Wen Hui told Ou Jinxiu that this was not done to prevent theft, but to prevent the bedding from being stolen next time, and there is a high probability that the stolen bedding will not be as dirty as it was a few times before.

Because the children usually steal the bedding because of evil intentions or being instigated by others, the bedding itself is of no use to them, and usually they will hide it after they get it, which was the case the first two times.

Once in a pigsty, once in a donkey shed.

The hygienic conditions in these places can be imagined. As a result, the bedding was unsightly dirty when it was retrieved. The two had to take it apart, wash and dry it, and use it the next day.

Wen Hui said that the children are likely to be too lazy to untie a knot that cannot be untied, and the bundled bedding is more convenient to hide and store. In this way, when they find the bedding again, there is a high probability that the bedding will be clean.

Ou Jinxiu admires Wenhui's perspective and way of thinking about problems, and she is also impressed by Wenhui herself, so she naturally obeys Wenhui's words.

"Come and wash your face." Wen Hui put the basin on the ground.

"Thank you, Miss Wenhui!" Ou Jinxiu smiled and thanked her.

"Jin Xiu, I asked your opinion about Ou Dabao last night, and you said you supported my suggestion. I want to ask you again now, has your mind changed?" Wen Hui was beside Ou Jinxiu when she washed her face He asked straight to the point.

"Sister Wenhui, how about...forget it." Ou Jinxiu paused and said in a low voice, "Ou Dabao is a rascal. No one in the village dares to provoke him, and we can't beat him."

"He was scared away by me last night, but he will definitely not be reconciled to this kind of person in the future." Wen Hui said lightly, "If you endure it, he will only think you are weak and deceitful in the future, and he will do that again whenever he has a chance." Do, or even go too far."

Fear flashed in Ou Jinxiu's eyes, and he said, "But, but he will definitely take revenge on us."

"What if he can't take revenge on you?" Wen Hui asked.

"How is this possible?" Ou Jinxiu asked.

"Do you believe me or not?" Wenhui looked at her.

"Of course I believe you, Sister Wen Hui!" Ou Jinxiu said hastily.

Wen Hui smiled: "I assure you, he will never take revenge on you!"

Ou Jinxiu was silent for a moment, finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Sister Wenhui, I'm going to fight it out, and I'll do as you say!"

Wen Hui nodded with a smile: "Just do what I say when the time comes, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

The two rushed to the canteen of the village under the moonlight, but there was no one there.

In fact, there were supposed to be two other women working at this time, but they deliberately didn't come, just to let Wenhui and Jinxiu do all their work, so they could sleep a little longer.

Of course, this is not the first time. Jin Xiu reported this matter to the old party secretary in the village before, but the answer he got was "I only look at the result, not the process."

Jinxiu told Wenhui angrily that he didn't say that because one of the lazy women was his sister-in-law.

Wen Hui smiled and told Jin Xiu not to worry about it.

It may sound troublesome for two people to make breakfast for hundreds of people in a production team, but it is not, because breakfast is basically either cornmeal batter or pumpkin soup.

The water in the five cauldrons was picked by the children of the village the day before.And this kind of large stove does not turn off the fire at night, but uses furnace ash to seal the fire to keep the temperature of the water in the pot.

Not to mention the cornmeal paste, if you drink pumpkin soup or sweet potato soup, the ingredients are also processed by the children the day before.

In this era, children can't be idle, they have to earn work points for the family.Adults work during the day, and it's the kind of work that kids do.

Therefore, the job of Wenhui and Jinxiu is to turn on the fire of the five large stoves, and then wait for the water to boil, put the ingredients in the pot, and cook them.

It sounds simple, but it is actually very tiring.

Dinner is served at three o'clock, and there is only one hour left for them from waking up to the end of work.

It is necessary to pull the bellows to make a fire. The bellows of this kind of large stove are very heavy, and people with little strength can't pull them at all. Even if they are strong, it is very laborious to pull them up.Because it is usually women who do this work, two women usually work together to pull the bellows.

But Wenhui and Jinxiu were only two people, so no one would add fuel to the fire.If you stop working and stop, the efficiency will slow down again, which may affect the time for eating at three o'clock.

But since Wenhui came here, she has never missed breakfast time.This is because Wen Hui did all the work of pulling the bellows by herself.

While adding firewood to stir the fire, Jin Xiu praised: "Sister Wenhui, thanks to your strength, otherwise we would definitely not be able to finish the job. You said you are not as fleshy as I am, why are you so strong? "

Jin Xiu has always been surprised by this incident, and can't help but say it every day.

There are five large stoves, and the two burn the fire one by one.By the time this was done, the water in the cauldron on the first stove had boiled.

At this time, the two hurriedly started to put the ingredients into the pot together.

This morning I ate pumpkin soup. The cut pumpkins had already been placed in bamboo baskets. The two moved quickly to put the pumpkin pieces into the pot, then put the pot back on and waited for it to cook.

After the first pot was finished, the water in the second pot was almost boiled, and they continued to work on the second pot.

Basically, since arriving here, the two of them have been very busy.

At two forty, the double horn rang.This is the chant to wake up the whole village.
