Chapter 62 The Eve of Busy Farming
Xie Fei stood there blankly, looking at the empty space in front of him and the empty palms of his hands. He felt lost and suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something important.

The scorching sunlight poured down from the gaps between the leaves. In the flickering light and shadow, Xie Fei turned around in confusion, Lu Miao turned her back to him, and walked farther and farther...

It seems that from this moment on, something has become destiny.

Fu Jingyou was restless. He went home, put down his things, cleaned up briefly and went to the team.

He and He Hongjin received the job for tomorrow. Compared with other places, the field where he wanted the job was relatively far away.

In addition, there is not much land. In the past, no other strong laborers in the team were willing to go there, because they always felt that walking on a land as big as a palm would take longer than working.

Instead of wasting time running around, it is better to choose a larger field near the production team and work down-to-earth.

Because many people despised that field, and no one would gossip if they were arranged to go out directly, He Hongjin directly assigned him to Fu Jingyou.

When Fu Jingyou left, He Hongjin followed behind and said:

"We're going to get busy soon, Xiao Liu. Please put aside your outside matters for now and focus on the team first. Don't delay the harvest. We told the commune meeting last time that the city's rations are tight. This year's target rations are, I’m afraid we’ll have more friends than in previous years.”

The target grain is public grain, which is also the task grain. After each quarter's harvest, a portion must be selected and handed over.

If the grain quality is poor or substandard, the commune and grain stations will not accept it at all.

Fu Jingyou has nothing to do with the quality of food, but he can contribute to the work.

In addition, He Hongjin specifically asked him to do this, and Fu Jingyou was even more incapable of refusing. He immediately agreed, "I understand, uncle."

He Hongjin nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's go back. My body is tired after working for a few days. Let's take a good rest this afternoon. Get up tomorrow and concentrate on working again."

"it is good."

When he got home, Fu Jingyou didn't take a good rest as He Hongjin said.

Thinking about working tomorrow, Lu Miao will definitely come home at noon. Apart from the few kilograms of Fuqiang noodles that he brought back today, there is nothing around the house to serve with food.

Afraid that the pots and bowls would be empty when Lu Miao came over tomorrow, he dug out the fish baskets that he had not yet finished knitting when he was knitting the bamboo hats last time. He sat on the back threshold of the kitchen and hurriedly started knitting again.

I planned to compile it quickly, wait for the evening to dig up some earthworms and small insects, throw them into the ditch when there are few people outside, and try my luck in a hurry.

He was busy on one side, and on the other side, in just a blink of an eye, the story of Lu Miao being praised by the female director at the threshing floor became known to everyone.

"Miaomiao, you can do it! You really bring glory to our educated youth comrades!"

During lunch, several girls gathered around Lu Miao with lunch boxes and kept praising her, leaving Lu Miao speechless and embarrassed.

Lu Miao waved her hand, "What's the big deal? It just happened that the female director happened to see me while I was working. I really can't keep up with your usual contributions."

"Don't say that, there are so many people working, why does the female director praise you instead of others?" Ren Bing's heart shook like a rattle, "Besides, no matter how small this matter is, it is enough for us. Improve the image in the minds of the members."

Geng Xiaoyun responded: "That makes sense."

Gu Ying said nothing casually, but nodded like a fool.The female director is no better than others. She is an "official" after all, and her speech has a certain dignity and motivation. She recognizes that educated youths are good, so what can others say?
Lu Miao didn't take it seriously, and didn't think that what he did as usual was worthy of praise. But in the following days, as Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun said, the voices of discussion in the team gradually became quieter, and the educated youths resumed After being accepted, life seemed to be peaceful again.

Of course, these are things to follow.

At that time, Lu Miao agreed to Fu Jingyou's appointment, got up early the next day, packed up and went out, and waited with her chin on the edge of the bamboo forest next to Fu's house.

Before long, I heard the sound of clattering footsteps coming from the side.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fu Jingyou wearing an old straw hat common in the countryside, with a bamboo basket hanging on his waist, and his light yellow coat turned white after washing.

In the morning, apart from going to the production team to take care of the cows, I don’t know where else I’ve been. Most of the legs of my foggy blue coarse trousers were wet, and they were rolled up high and low.

At this moment, she was holding the cow rope in one hand and holding the sickle in the other, driving the big black cow towards her.

Lu Miao was afraid of the big black bull, so he circled around and stood behind Fu Jingyou and walked slowly.

Afraid of startling the cow, she lowered her voice and asked:

"Fu Jingyou, you helped me herd the cows, what about your work?"

"Grazing the cow won't bother you. Just drive the stakes up when you get to the place and let it graze on its own."

In the production team at this time, cattle are very precious, especially when they will be used during the busy farming season. At this juncture, the cattle must be well fed.

Having said that, herding cattle is indeed an easy job. When you go to the place, you just need to drive the iron stake at the end of the traction rope into the ground, and then let it graze on its own. The most work you have to do is Keep an eye on it from time to time to prevent cattle from eating or trampling nearby crops.

Lu Miao grew up in a big city. Not to mention that she had never done the job of herding cattle, it was the first time she saw live cattle here.

She didn't know the ease of this life, but she had people to worry about for her, and like Madaha, she was happy and relaxed.

In the past, she only cared about having fun and was used to being a shopkeeper. Lu Miao didn't pay attention to the work of herding cattle. However, Fu Jingyou's words gave her a clue, "Where exactly? Where are you going?"

Looking at the road ahead again, this time they bypassed Fu's house and walked through the bamboo forest path on the side of the threshing floor instead of the bamboo forest behind Fu's house. It was obvious that this was not the way to the back mountain.

Lu Miao looked confused, "Don't you go to the back mountain to herd cattle?"

"Yes." Fu Jingyou responded softly, "Uncles usually go to the back mountain to herd cattle, but today we are not going."

Lu Miao was even more confused, "Then where are we going?"

Fu Jingyou pretended to be secretive temporarily and just smiled without answering:

"You'll know when you get there."

Lu Miao had an arrogant look on her face and pretended to complain "Humph". She looked very much like Lin Daiyu in an old TV series. However, after this incident, she did not continue to ask further questions.

Fu Jingyou drove cattle through the secluded bamboo forest path, and Lu Miao followed him. Sometimes he pulled a bamboo leaf from the bent bamboo, and sometimes he went to the roadside and pulled off a piece of foxtail grass to play with.
