Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 56
There is an unwritten rule in rural schools in this era that they have to take a few days off when the farming season is busy.

This is true whether it is elementary school or middle school (junior high school).Excludes graduating classes.

As for when to play and how long to play, it depends on how the teachers of each grade coordinate.

Some teachers even use public equipment for private use, taking students to plant small seedlings in their homes.

Parents these days are simple and don't care about these things. They also think that teachers can take their children to work to prove that they are valued by teachers.How about some work?Do things differently at home?

Of course, not every school will have a busy farming holiday.Especially middle school.

In schools with looser management, teachers will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, tacitly knowing the reasons for students' leave, which is actually considered a holiday.

Some schools have strict management. Students who want to ask for leave have to find a good reason, otherwise the teacher will not give the leave, or even reject it directly.

Li Shaoyun's family stopped farming this year, and they didn't need to think of ways to change jobs for the family, which saved a lot of trouble.

Let’s not talk about Li Er’s brats. At their age, it’s enough for them to be able to work on their own.

If you exchange jobs with someone else, let’s not say that the parents of the other party are worried about the quality of their work, they themselves are not at ease!

So every year the au pair are Li Da and Li Shaoyun.

Mainly Li Da.At any rate, he was a few years older, and the classmates in the class were also older.

In the past two years, Li Shaoyun has also grown up, and correspondingly, there have been more au pairings.

Starting this year, the Li family stopped farming, and when they went to work for a classmate's house, the nature was purely helping!

It should be said that every year when the young seedlings are planted, it is the busiest time for the school children.

They exchange jobs with each other in order to finish their own work early.

Even if you can't finish it in a while, you can still do a lot, which is better than a few adults in your own family working for three to five days!
To say that this job is suitable for children does not mean that adults do it better than children.

A few days earlier, the seedlings can grow a few days longer and grow stronger. When transplanted into the field, the survival rate is higher than that of other seedlings, and they turn green faster.

However, there are exceptions for those with a lot of labor in the family, so they don't care whether the children change jobs or not!
Li Mei came to Li Shaoyun to ask her to help.

It's just that Li Shaoyun's family doesn't farm anymore, and they used to exchange jobs. Now that she asks someone for help, it's pure help, that is, the relationship between the two is good, otherwise she wouldn't be able to open her mouth.

I just thought, if there is anything her family needs to help in the future, I just need to do a little more work myself!
Li Hong also thought the same in her heart.

Within two days, some families in the village began to plant small seedlings one after another.

At the moment, most of the people work together to grow seedlings. Although it costs money, it saves time and worry, and the seedlings they raise are also strong.

Seeing that the season is almost here, and the seedlings are half a stalk long, those who are impatient will start planting the seedling field early.

In the rice seedling field, the fertilizer has been planted long ago, and the ground has been carefully plowed several times. The size and width of the seedling beds are almost exactly the same, and the distance between the two rows is also the same width.

The seedbeds are of different lengths and widths of less than one meter.

After watering and nourishing for a few days, the level is like a mirror, and the exposed seedbed looks very regular and beautiful.

It will be more beautiful if you wait for the small seedlings to be inserted.

A span of seedlings are neatly arranged on it. Although they are not uniform, they also have a sense of rhythm and are full of vitality.

The seedbeds have been smoothed with a wooden trowel in advance, and they look smooth and delicate.

The fineness is no less than that of a woman's embroidery.

At this moment, the water in the seedling field was not filled, and some people even almost drained the water, just for the convenience of planting young seedlings.

There is too much water, people will get muddy when they are not paying attention to activities in the field.If you make a big move and rush to the seedbed, the small seedlings that have just been planted and have not been covered with soil and fertilizer will be washed down, and the water will simply not be watered!Wait for the small seedlings to be planted before watering.

The rice seedling fields in the village are basically in patches, and the fields of each family are concentrated in one place.

The reason for this arrangement is also for the convenience of management.

After all, the other fields are either rapeseed or wheat.

Whether it's rapeseed or wheat, it's almost time to mature and harvest now, so there's no need for watering or irrigation.

But the seedling field is different!

Therefore, even for the convenience of management, they have to be gathered together.

When it comes to the season, it can be seen that the seedling field is full of adults and children.

The rape blossoms are already in the middle of blooming at the moment, and they will wither in a while.

A while ago, Li Shaoyun was still regretting in his heart, such a beautiful rapeseed field, it is a pity that he does not have a camera at home, otherwise it would be great to be able to take pictures!
At the moment, a camera costs several hundred yuan. The key is that there is no place to buy it. If you want to buy it, it may not be available in the county, so you have to go to the city.

Li Shaoyun could only sigh inwardly.

On this day, everything was ready at Li Mei's house, and several classmates were invited to come to the house to help plant the seedlings.

Li Shaoyun is also one of them.

They are all from the village, and they basically know each other, it's just that they have traveled far and near.

Li Mei's family has more than three catties of seeds this year. Their family has a smaller population than Li Shaoyun's family, and they have less land.

If it was Li Shaoyun's family, they would have raised more than four catties of seeds last year.

Think about the seedlings that need to be manually planted on the seedbed, which takes a lot of effort!
The thick fingers of the adults are really not very good at the moment, but the little hands of the children are very flexible at the moment.

Of course it also scores.

Some people worked quickly, and after a while, several rows of seedbeds were planted neatly in front of them, and half of the seedbeds were planted in a short time.

A seedbed is planted by two people, one on each side.The seedbed is slightly wider, and adults can't take care of it when planting, let alone children, so they simply have one on each side, so that they don't feel too much time for planting.

A furrow is divided into two halves, and one person is in charge of half, and the speed immediately increases, and it will be a furrow in a short while.

Li Shaoyun followed Li Mei to the field.

Today's weather is good, a little cloudy, there is no big sun, so I won't get too hot when I work.

Li Mei's mother was cooking for everyone at home today, so she didn't come with her.

Right now, everyone is an au pair, so of course there is no wages, but it is definitely necessary to take care of food while working, this is the rule.Otherwise, it will leave a stingy and mean impression.Will be laughed at for a long time.

On the newly cultivated seedling tray, the young seedlings are green and green, with white roots, which look very pleasing to the eye.

It is also fluffy to the touch, and several children couldn't help but reach out and touch it.Of course, they are all measured and will not use too much force, just like touching the baby's little hand in the moon nest.

Li Mei's father carried the seedling tray, and several others also helped carry the remaining trays.

Li Shaoyun is holding a seedling stool in his hand, ready to go to the field.

This thing is as long as an oversized nail, but the top of the T is longer and wider than the stool, so it is easy to sit down when it is inserted into the mud without sticking your butt.

Li Shaoyun, who was a northerner and an urban bumpkin in his previous life, had never seen him before.When I saw it for the first time, I held it in my hand for a long time.

The design of this stool is specially used for transplanting and pulling out seedlings in the seedling fields.

There is also a skill when sitting, after all, it has only one point of focus.

However, there are generally no major mistakes, because they are all used in mud.

It is impossible to use a four-legged stool in the mud.Not to mention that this kind of stool is not easy to put on. The short legs of the stool are not smooth, and it is easy to flood the buttocks after sitting on it. In addition, even if the stool has long legs, it is a waste of time and effort to pull it out once it gets stuck in the mud.

The best is this kind of seedling stool, with only one leg inserted into the mud, it is easy to put it down, and you don't need to use force to lift it up.

In other words, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, which is amazing.

This thing can still be seen in some remote areas in later generations, because of the limitations of geographical location and economic conditions, it has not been completely eliminated into the back of history.
