Candide in Chronology is on strike

In the countryside at this time, people who were interested in taking exams carried this book with them even when they were working. They would read a few sentences from time to time and keep mumbling to themselves.

What's more, some people even carry books with them even when they go to the toilet. They look like they are crazy, which makes the villagers frown.

Although some of them like to cheat, chat, and spank while working, they don't blatantly desert their jobs and memorize a book there!

Some of them may not do as much work as the educated youths every day, but they are still dissatisfied. Therefore, they have complained to the village cadres one after another that they are not allowed to bring books with them when they go to work. The euphemistic saying is that when they work, they work, and when they read, they read. , cannot be confused.

If you really can't bear to put down your book, it's easy to just ask for leave.

In this way, there are no work points, and no one will care as long as they don't take advantage of the village.

Although Chen Aiguo and Chen Zongze ignored those people, those thin-skinned educated youths obviously listened. They never picked up the books while working. Those who wanted to give it a try went directly to Chen Aiguo and the others to ask for a long leave. , intending to fight until the eve of the exam.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang still followed their previous schedule. Although they were still reading books and doing questions every day, they did not ask for leave, let alone study at home all day.

In the eyes of uninformed people, their situation is just that they are just ignorant. They know that they will not pass the exam, so they will not put so much energy into it. In this way, after the autumn harvest, they can still get enough food to feed themselves. Still no problem.

Tang Ying and He Yuan both chose to make a desperate move. After all, in the countryside, they couldn't see any hope or a way out. Now that the way has appeared, if they don't try their best to climb up, they will miss the opportunity and regret it for the rest of their lives.

Because she focused on reading and studying, Tang Ying Heyuan was far away from Qin Jiang and Qin Xi. It was common not to see each other for three to five days.

Even if they meet each other, Qin Jiang and Qin Xi will not stay long for fear of delaying their studies when they see them talking and looking at the book.

In the past, Tang Ying and He Yuan liked to go to Qin Jiang, Qin Xi and the others to chat. If nothing else, at least the place was very clean, but now, it is difficult to go there even once every ten days and a half.

The two of them really showed their enthusiasm and immersed themselves in books every day. Now they are like the slowly tightening strings, getting tighter and tighter until the knowledge they have learned turns into arrows and shoots Go to the distance and break through the confusion.

For their situation, Qin Xi was disappointed, but not much. After all, they were all adults. It would be too much to blame everything for such a small thing. She couldn't do it anyway. .

The weather in June was very sultry, and the fungi in the forest looked like Xiaogu Liang, who couldn't bear the baking and quietly poked his head out to cool off.

Two people in Qinjiang and Qinxi picked up mushrooms. One was happy with what they picked up, and the ones they couldn't finish were dried in the sun and saved for hot pot consumption in winter.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over on August 15th, the village is busy preparing for the autumn harvest.

At this time, even if people sign up to take the college entrance examination and take leave to stay at home, they still have to work in the fields no matter how unwilling they are.

The autumn harvest is so important. During this period, the weather is somewhat erratic. Although it is better than that in May and June, it is still limited.

If the recovered millet and peanuts are not dried as soon as possible, they will become moldy or sprout when it rains for a long time. By then, the things will be ruined.

Even if they are allowed to grow in the ground, as long as it rains for a long time, the mature grain will sprout. So, the autumn harvest is a race against time.

They have to collect the grain as quickly as possible when the weather is good, dry it in the sun, and then load it into warehouses.

After working in the fields for a few days, Qin Xi's already dark face became even darker due to the sun. He looked like a briquette. On the contrary, it was her brother who did more work than her and was more tiring than her. He didn't like her very much. Wearing a straw hat, his face is the same as before. Among all the little briquettes, he is the fairest one.

What she envied was that if the two siblings hadn't been living together and knew very well that he had never put anything on his face, she might have chased him and asked him for the secret to whitening.

Although it is said that sunbathing is healthier, but in the hot summer weather, the exposed skin will peel off, so sunbathing is not healthier.

As soon as Qin Xi got home, she started pouring cold water on her neck and forearms. It was so hot that she felt that these areas were about to be cooked by the sun.

But if she covered her head, she felt as if she was about to suffer from heat stroke. It was the lesser of two evils. Compared with dizziness, vomiting, unable to eat, heat stroke with throbbing pain in her temples, she felt like she was burning and sunburned. The skin is easier to tolerate. As long as you put a towel dipped in cold spring water on these skins, it will be relieved a lot.

Qin Jiang looked at Qin Xi's discomfort and couldn't bear to persuade him: "Do you want me to go to the captain and ask for a leave for you?"

"If this continues, it won't be a problem!"

Before, his sister was still a good little girl. However, just a few days after the autumn harvest started, she had lost several pounds. She was dark and thin, her cheekbones were almost protruding, and her exposed skin was red from the sun. Just looking at it made him feel distressed.

If nothing else, tomorrow morning, she will ask Qin Qing to help her tear off the sunburned areas.

Although the weather can't be changed, Qin Xi can pretend to be sick! When you ask for leave, it won't be a problem to send the captain two taels of brown sugar. There are so many people in the village, and no one will be watching them specially!

"No, I can still hold on. I have been working for five days. If I can't hold on in the last two or three days and fall down, I will suffer a loss!" Qin Xi has a tenacity in his bones.

She was not tired, but everyone was working hard, and she couldn't do it if she was asked to eat and drink alone at home.

It doesn't matter whether she is pretending or anything else, she doesn't care.

Seeing Qin Xi's persistence, Qin Jiang stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay! But you have to pay attention to yourself. If you are really tired, don't be brave and put down your work. When I get off work, I will go I did it for you.”

His physical strength is much better than Qin Xi's. Although he is tired after work, it is not a big problem if he can help Qin Xi more.

If two siblings work together, the speed will be much faster.

"I know, I won't force myself. You don't know me yet. It's a shame." Qin Xi said with a smile.

Although she would not put her share of the work on her brother, when he said this, she still felt an indescribable warmth.
