Chapter 117 Breaking the Corn

Shen Ruoqing did not expect to receive the news that he was going to study agriculture in the second week of school.He was about to go as soon as school started. Although Shen Ruoqing had been mentally prepared before, he didn't expect it to arrive so soon.

"In order to let everyone have a better contact with the life of farmers, the school arranged this agricultural learning activity."

"You have to know that some of our students will still have to support construction in the future. If we don't take a look at it, what will we do if we only know the vegetables in the school field?"

Well, the school has the final say.They can only obey the arrangement.

Someone asked the teacher where he would go to learn farming this time. The teacher replied: "Just go to the farm run by our school to learn farming. It's not far from here. It's only ten kilometers away. If you walk, it will take more than two hours. It’s just a good time to exercise everyone’s body. By the way, we will set off at five o’clock tomorrow, so everyone should go back and pack up your things.”

Shen Ruoqing looked at the classmates around him and found that most of them were quite interested in this matter. They were all students from towns in the county. A few of them from the village like her didn't react at all.

Tao Tao is from the county. She was obviously very excited. She took Shen Ruoqing's hand and asked, "Ruoqing, what do you think I should bring?"

Shen Ruoqing glanced at her: "The teacher said that this agricultural activity is mainly about harvesting corn. You'd better bring a pair of labor protection gloves."

Although Shen Ruoqing has never harvested corn, she also knows that it can be hard on her hands.The task of breaking corn is not difficult, but it requires a lot of strength.

This girl is so excited now. When the time comes to actually work in the fields, she will know how hard it will be.

After announcing this, school was over.

Because studying agriculture is a matter for all first-year students, Shen Hansong is also going.

After going home and telling the news to Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji shouted twice at the top of her lungs: "This school is really good. Why do you study agriculture? My dear girl will be a worker in the future. What's the use of studying this."

Shen Ruoqing quickly stopped Mrs. Ji: "Mom, don't say that, it won't be good for others to hear you. How can you say anything about what will happen in the future? Don't talk about my future as a worker all day long. Okay, let's make a joke. We just need to know about this ourselves and keep a low profile."

Of course Shen Ruoqing will have to find a job in the future, and this matter will not be difficult for her.But every time Mrs. Ji talks about Shen Ruoqing like this, she feels embarrassed.

"What are you embarrassed about? What mother said is true. When you graduate, you must ask your brother to find you a job. Right, fourth child." Mrs. Ji looked at Shen Xiangbei.

Shen Xiangbei felt the pressure. He was just a small section chief and did not have the power to fill people in his factory.She had hoped to be promoted to deputy director before, but his reputation was ruined.Now his mother wants him to promise to arrange a job for his sister, which is really embarrassing for him.

Nowadays, the work is like a carrot and a pit, how can it be so easy to arrange?

But in order not to disappoint Mrs. Ji, Shen Xiangbei gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, then I will find a way to arrange a job for our little sister."

No matter what, I relied on my little sister to be rescued last time. Even if I begged my grandpa and grandma to pay for it myself, I still had to buy a job for my little sister.

Hearing Shen Xiangbei's assurance, Mrs. Ji felt comfortable.

"My dear, what can I bring you tomorrow? Your sister-in-law just came back from buying meat today. Do you want to bring your own dry food? Mom will make some steamed buns for you."

Shen Ruoqing was also craving for meat buns, so he naturally agreed.

"Mom, please make a few more. I want to give two to my classmates."

When she heard that the meat buns were going to be distributed to her classmates, Mrs. Ji was a little heartbroken, but for Shen Ruoqing's sake, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, mom will make a few more for you tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Mrs. Ji got up and started making steamed buns. When Shen Ruoqing got up around four o'clock, the porridge was already cooked.

After packing their things, Shen Ruoqing and Shen Hansong took the buns and rode their bicycles to school.The bicycles must be parked in the school. It's impossible for everyone to walk. The two of them should ride bicycles.If we want to walk, we must all walk together.

When he arrived at the farm, Shen Ruoqing looked at the large field of corn without any fluctuation in his heart.

After the teacher taught how to break corn, he designated an area and let the students go to the ground.

Shen Ruoqing found Shen Hansong and handed him a pair of labor protection gloves, "My classmate specially made them for me to save my hands, so you can use them."

"Sister-in-law, you can use it yourself. I'm used to it, so it's okay."

"I specifically asked for an extra pair. I have one, so you can just take it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Shen Ruoqing fluttered her other pair of labor protection gloves and returned to her class.

Taotao has already started to work.

In fact, there is a skill in breaking the corn. You can't break the corn upward, but break it downward. This saves a lot of effort.It takes a lot of effort if you break it up.

While everyone was breaking the corn, there were constant problems and a lot of jokes were made.

But maybe people of this era have a natural adaptability to farm work, and even those who are not proficient in it after a day have become proficient.

At noon, Shen Ruoqing took out big meat buns to share with Tao Tao, and Tao Tao also took out dried meat to share with Shen Ruoqing.

Zhang Xiaoli, who was on the side, looked at Shen Ruoqing's fat meat buns and was very greedy, but he only dared to look at it and did not dare to step forward.

Anyway, at the end of the day, all the corn-breaking work on the farm was done by these students.

Like in previous years, it would take two or three days to work, but this year there was a lot of rain and less corn was planted, so it was done in one day.

Shen Ruoqing felt that the school used them as free labor.

"Ruo Qing, luckily I listened to you and prepared labor protection gloves. You see, some girls in our class have blisters on their hands."

After all, the majority of children in the county are children. Some of them are doing farm work for the first time, and they are relatively honest. They work hard and have small blisters on their hands.

Of course, only a few female students had blisters on their hands, but most of them were fine.However, the school obviously has measures to deal with this method. Students who had blisters on their hands were smeared with iodophor.

On the way back, everyone was obviously not in such high spirits anymore.

"Ruo Qing, this farm work is really tiring. Even if I work for a whole day, I haven't done much work. Compared to you, I am much worse. If I have to work in the fields to support myself in the future, I will definitely starve to death myself.”

"Anyway, didn't you say that if you don't find a job after graduation, your mother will give her job to you? You won't have to work in the fields in the future. This is just a learning experience." Shen Ruoqing comforted her.

"Too."

I don't know if it is because of drinking the upgraded spiritual spring water for a long time, but Shen Ruoqing now feels that his strength is much stronger than before. He does not feel tired after breaking corn for a day, but feels more comfortable.
