Candide in Chronology is on strike

Time flies by, and soon it’s summer harvest time.

The village attaches great importance to this harvest. Even pregnant women have to go to the fields to help. Primary schools have also been suspended, and the whole village has revolved around the production.

Liu Mei, who had been taking care of her baby at home, reluctantly rolled up her trouser legs and got off the ground. She didn't want to go, but she had to go, otherwise, there would be no food.

The little daughter-in-law of Bai Yanzi's family has only given birth for half a month. Logically speaking, she is still in confinement and has already gone to the ground. She has no reason not to go.

On the fifth day of June, the sky was clear and cloudless. It was a good weather. Every household in Chenhui Village took their production tools and walked out of their homes. The mobilization meeting had been held yesterday and they would officially go into battle today.

If there are not enough tools at home, go to the brigade warehouse to get them. Regardless of the quality of the tools, there must be something to do in your hands, which is related to their work efficiency.

Qin Xi was assigned to a field to cut rice. Next to it were Yun Qing, Zeng Rou, and Liu Mei. On the other hand, Tang Ying was in another field, not far away from them by more than ten meters, but when working, there was no one. Law speaks.

This summer's harvest is no different than other times. You have to work as many points as you need, especially those who harvest rice. They all have tasks. Even if they haven't finished their work after work in the afternoon, they still have to finish it if they work overtime at night. Otherwise, the work will be in vain and no work points will be recorded.

Qin Xi and the others were in a very large field. Because it had rained a few days ago, even if the water in the field had been drained, the soil in the field was still very soft. When you step on it, the soil becomes wet. It overflowed directly from between the toes. Just looking at it made people feel very uncomfortable.

In addition, some bugs in the ground, such as locusts, bugs, water spiders and the like, all live well. The environment in the paddy fields is suitable for them to survive. When you look carefully at a certain place , you can see their existence.

Others were fine, but Zeng Rou had seen enough anyway. She had just given birth to her second child two months ago, and thought that her body had not fully recovered yet. She was still very weak and could not do heavy work. I grind the smallest piece of land for myself, and of course, the work points are also the smallest.

However, she didn't care about the work points. After all, Chen Liangyu's family was a big family that sat together to eat. They worked more or less and had the same amount of food. Of course, she chose to work less to make herself more relaxed.

Zeng Rou's child was for the elderly at home to look after, but Liu Mei could only carry it by herself. She put the child in a basket and placed it on the ridge of the field. She would go there to have a look every once in a while.

The temperature in the morning is not very high yet, so after ten o'clock, the basket must be covered with a piece of cloth, otherwise the child will be afraid of heat stroke, which will be bad.

Zeng Rou's great-grandmother would carry her child from home to the field every two hours and let Zeng Rou feed her. This was one of the reasons why Zeng Rou was able to successfully grind a small piece of land.

Liu Mei saw Zeng Rou's mother-in-law taking away the full child and going back to cook. She sincerely envied Zeng Rou. Having an old man in this family is like having a treasure!

It's a pity that her mother-in-law is not so good yet. Not to mention helping to take care of the children during the summer harvest. She even ignores her during confinement and lets her and Qin He fend for themselves in the village. She didn't feel that before. No matter what, but after chatting with Yun Qing, Zengrou and the others several times, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

How the daughter-in-law here treats her mother-in-law, of course, depends on the mother-in-law taking care of them when they are most vulnerable and in need of help.

Zeng Rou didn't want to talk about it anymore. After marrying into Fuwowo, Yun Qing had no choice because she was too far away. However, Yun Qing's mother-in-law was a great support to the young couple. She also provided milk powder tickets and It was food stamps, and they also sent huge amounts of money. Neither of their mothers-in-law had anything to say, except her mother-in-law. She doesn’t know when she can go to the county town to stay for a while again. This month is not possible because the fields have to plant the second crop of rice, and she and Qin He have to be away from each other. Next month, she doesn’t know if she will be free.

"Wow." The cry of the child in the basket on the field ridge pulled Liu Mei back from her thoughts.

"Liu Mei, your son is crying. He must be hungry. Go and feed her." Zeng Rou reminded Liu Mei, who was a little dazed.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Xi subconsciously. When she saw her front, bending down to cut the rice without changing her expression, she couldn't help but sigh at this man's coldness.

People who don't care about this will involuntarily stand up and take a look, for fear that something will happen to the child. However, the child's biological aunt didn't even give the child a look. This is too cruel!

"Hey, I'll feed him right away." The people working nearby were all women from the village. She didn't feel embarrassed. She found a relatively private place facing the mud wall and started feeding the child.

She doesn't have much milk anymore. She used to eat one egg a day. When the nutrition was still sufficient, it was enough for the child. But now it's not enough. So, in addition to milk, she also feeds the child some rice oil every day. At home, All that rice was reserved for him.

I don’t know if the child’s grandma specially looked for milk powder for him. The last time she went back, Liu Mei asked Liu Qin to take care of it. At that time, Liu Qin promised well and said that she would help them keep an eye on it, but there was no news. There is a sense of letting things go.

Next time she goes to the county town, Liu Mei will definitely ask about this matter. After all, it would be wrong to deal with her.

The summer harvest lasted for a full week, and all the grain was recovered. What was left was to be dried. The dried grain had to be blown out with a blower. Then, the grain could be sent to the grain station in the town. Pay public rations.

At the end of the summer harvest, the first thing many people do after returning home is to lie down. They are so tired! My waist is almost broken.

Qin Xi finally understood why nine out of ten old people in the village in their previous life had bad waists. They were all caused by fatigue when they were young. Few people could withstand this kind of intensity of labor.

At this time, the life of farmers was the hardest. Everything was collective. They had to pay half of the food tax for the food they worked so hard to grow. The rest was not enough to eat.

The village works hard to raise a dozen pigs, and if half can be divided and eaten in one's own mouth, it is considered very good.

After lying at home for a whole day, my waist, which was a little bruised from bending down to cut rice, finally recovered a little. At least when I was lying on the bed, I wasn't so sore that I dared not move.

On this day, Qin Qing, a little girl, worked very hard to rub and massage Qin Xi's back. Not to mention, even if she rubbed it randomly, she felt much better after it was over.

To this end, Qin Xi also used her fists to slap her brother's back several times, which was quite effective.
