Chapter 97 It hurts

Early the next morning after Ye Xiaozhen went to the town, the loudspeaker of the village branch rang, telling everyone to gather in the small square for a meeting.

When the three of Ye Tan arrived at the small square, there were already quite a few people. Ye Tan's sharp eyes saw Aunt Hua waving towards him in the crowd.

After the three of Ye Tan came over, Aunt Hua took out a small handful of boiled peanuts in her pocket and said, "Eat it, it smells delicious."

"Thank you, Aunt Hua." Ye Tan and the others were not polite to Aunt Hua. Aunt Hua's boiled peanuts are delicious. You don't need to peel the peanuts, just wash them and boil them in water. When cooking, put some salt and star anise in the water. The ingredients are cooked and then soaked for an hour or two to infuse the flavor, then control the water, put them in a cloth bag and put them on the kang to dry, not to mention how fragrant it tastes.

If you want to eat melon seeds, you can do it in the same way, and they are just as fragrant.

"Aunt Hua, what are you going to say in today's meeting?" Ye Tan asked curiously as he threw two peanuts into his mouth.

"Hey, isn't it time to start breaking corn and digging sweet potatoes today?" Aunt Hua said, "Every year at this time, we hold a small meeting. I haven't rested for a long time, and the working hours have been extended every day, so I can't hang a carrot in front of me."

Hearing Aunt Hua's analogy, Ye Tan and the others almost burst out laughing. Just after laughing twice, the little donkey's braying came from the barn not far from the small square, and Ye Tan and the others paused. Suddenly, he laughed even louder.

Han Lulu and Ye Xiaozhen who were standing not far away looked over upon hearing the sound, Han Lulu curled her lips, and whispered to Ye Xiaozhen: "Look at their smugness, they just used their tongues to get along with these rural women in the village. The relationship is very good, and it has taken a lot of advantages. Honest people like us can't compare with them."

Maybe there is a common enemy, so although Ye Xiaozhen has only been here for less than two days, the friendship between Han Lulu and her has grown by leaps and bounds, and the progress is rapid. Today is Ye Xiaozhen's first day at work, and the two are already good sisters who can go to work together up.

Ye Xiaozhen glanced at Ye Tan, and whispered to Han Lulu: "This is Ye Tan's usual trick. When she was at home, she was like this. She made my neighbors turn to her, and in the end my parents were detained. It’s bad if you get paid and get criticized.”

"It's so bad!" Han Lulu opened her eyes wide.

Ye Xiaozhen sighed and was about to speak when Zhou Changzhu spoke with a loudspeaker right in front of the small square: "Come on, be quiet, everyone be quiet."

Suddenly, the small square, which was still noisy and noisy, suddenly became completely silent.

Zhou Changzhu nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone knows what day it is today, right?"

"I know." Everyone laughed and said loudly: "I'm going to break the corn and dig the sweet potatoes."

"Yes!" Zhou Changzhu said loudly: "Our Taoshan Village has entered the busiest time of autumn harvest. Everyone must mobilize and put the corn and sweet potatoes into the warehouse as soon as possible. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The voices of the crowd resounded.

Tuanzi raised his head and exclaimed, "Xiao Tan, these people are so passionate."

Ye Tan said, "Yes, it's the first time I've seen you too."

Emotions can be contagious. Ye Tan couldn't help getting excited because of the high-pitched enthusiasm of the surrounding villagers. Later, when Zhou Changzhu asked questions again, Ye Tan also excitedly shouted with everyone.

Zhou Changzhu was not an inkblot person, so he mobilized a few words neatly, and then divided the work, so that everyone dispersed and went to work in the field.

The few female educated youths in the educated youth spot were all assigned to the corn field by Zhou Changzhu. The main reason is that the corn field can be broken with bare hands. Although it is tiring, it is better to be safe. Educated youth, you are useless to pick a hoe or catch a dog. Don't turn around and hurt yourself. If you really want to hurt yourself, that's all a problem.

Ye Tan and the others followed Tong Meifang to the cornfield, looking at the green gauze tent that could not be seen, Ye Xiaozhen gasped: "We...do we want to break so much corn?"

Ye Xiaozhen looked at her white and delicate hands, she wanted to cry but she didn't have any tears. She looked at Tong Meifang: "Auntie, do you have gloves?"

When did the villagers break corn and wear gloves?
Naturally there is not.

Tong Meifang said helplessly to Ye Xiaozhen: "There are no gloves. We have never worn gloves when breaking corn here, and no one has prepared such things. Are you a new educated youth? Today is your first day at work. Get used to it first, don't break too much at once, or you won't be able to lift both arms tomorrow."

Ye Xiaozhen felt even more chilled when she heard this.

Even Wen Jing, a few new educated youths who came this year, although they had experienced the farm work some time ago, they couldn't help rubbing their shoulders after hearing Tong Meifang's words.

Ye Tan doesn't care, she is a person with century-old willow dew, what kind of fatigue can't be relieved by a drop of century-old willow dew?This is her big killer!
Tong Meifang thought that Ye Tan hadn't touched the field work some time ago, so she hurriedly told Ye Tan: "You too, it's the first time breaking corn today, don't be too tired, otherwise you will suffer tomorrow, take your time , adapt to adapt."

"Hey." Ye Tan responded with a smile.

Aunt Hua and Aunt Lei were also in charge of the corn field, so they smiled and said to Ye Tan: "Ye Tan, come, let's go together."

Tong Meifang smiled and pushed Ye Tan towards Aunt Hua and the two of them: "Go, it happens to be a group of three."

Ye Xiaozhen knew from Han Lulu that Tong Meifang was the daughter-in-law of the captain of Taoshan Village, and she was an important figure in the village. Seeing how kind she was to Ye Tan, she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed and jealous.

Soon, Tong Meifang divided everyone into groups one by one, three people in groups, two people were responsible for breaking the corn, and one person was responsible for following behind and putting the broken corn in bags, and then moved the bags to the On the wooden cart outside, the three of them took turns so that they could all take a little rest.

Breaking corn is actually very simple, but it is tiring and requires skill. In addition, before breaking corn, the leaves on the corn stalks must be knocked off. The corn leaves are very sharp, so as not to cut hands and faces.

Aunt Hua taught Ye Tan carefully how to break corn. Seeing Ye Tan trying to break a few, she couldn't help smiling and boasting: "Oh, Ye Tan, you are so smart, you can learn it well. But it’s really fast, this posture, even if it is said to be old-fashioned, people will believe it.”

Aunt Lei echoed with a smile: "No, it looks good."

Ye Tan was praised by Aunt Hua and Aunt Lei, but Ye Xiaozhen was miserable. Her aunt had only half taught her, so Ye Xiaozhen jumped back with a groan, crying, "It hurts so much."
