Quick Wear: Transform Your Life

Chapter 232
The next day, the news that Lan Xi became a tractor driver had spread throughout Zhangjia Village, making Lan Xi the subject of discussion in Zhangjia Village.

But different from being divorced before, it is now said that Lan Xi has been reborn and capable, and now she earns more than men, and many women are envious when they see it.

It was almost time to harvest, but at this time the captain brought back a male educated youth who had been sent to the countryside.

Generally speaking, people in the village do not welcome these educated youths. On the one hand, the educated youths are outsiders, so the villagers are naturally xenophobic; If you can't carry it, you can't pick it up on your shoulders, and you have to share their food, naturally you don't like it too much.

But it will not be too repulsive. After all, this is also arranged by the leaders above. However, there are still too few educated youths like Zhao Baoshuang who can integrate into the village so quickly. Like some villages, there are situations where educated youths fight with the village.

Although everyone is not very happy, but they will not disrespect the captain, after all, he brought it back.

Now there are not many educated youths in the village, only six, four men and two women, and Zhao Baoshuang is the default person in charge.

These are all educated youths who have just arrived in the past two years, and they have great hopes for returning to the city. Most of the old educated youths are married and have children or are married.

It is now 1970, and no one knows when this catastrophe will end.

The new male educated youth is named Zhou Yiqing, about 20 years old, tall, but a little slender, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, he wears a pair of transparent glasses, and speaks in a gentle manner, making him appear more elegant and easy-going.

The team leader also said that their village is not bad, but the nearby Songliu Village brought back a female educated youth, and compared to female educated youth, male educated youth is better.

Over there, Zhao Baoshuang has brought Zhou Yiqing to familiarize himself with the situation.

This matter was discussed in the village for a while, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was June, and the wheat harvest was about to start, so I didn't care about the gossip in the village.

The busy farming season has officially started, and the team leader held a small mobilization meeting to encourage them. Everyone is gearing up and ready to start.

The once-a-year harvest season is about to kick off, and now wheat harvesting still relies on manpower, that is, wielding a sickle.

This time, not only male laborers have to work, but also female laborers have to cut wheat. The centimeters are also higher. Women can also get eight centimeters for work, while men can get ten centimeters. Of course, this is after a full day of work. case.

Lan Xi, the tractor driver, has also officially taken up his post. The tractor has been wiped twice in the warehouse, and the trailer has been fixed, just waiting to be fired.

With the sound of the brigade's horn, the harvesting officially began.

All of them were fully armed, holding sickles, and set off towards the wheat fields.

Zhang Xuyang's family went to work, and Zhang Xuyang, a child, naturally followed him to play in the field. The adults watched the child while working. Fortunately, Zhang Xuyang was obedient, and he usually behaved obediently and did not run around in the field.

Lan Xi is responsible for pulling the wheat from the field to the wheat field, which is as big as a football field and is also a place for threshing.

In this way, Lan Xi transported from the field to the wheat field over and over again. The people in the wheat field were already waiting. Lan Xi pulled the mature wheat to the wheat field. Everyone scattered the wheat on the ground, and then rolled it with stones to crush the wheat. The grains are separated from the straw.

There was a lot of people on the wheat field, most of them were women, chatting and laughing with each other while crushing the wheat, while the children were playing around, sometimes delaying the work of the adults, causing a burst of scolding, but the children did not listen , Still going its own way, it provoked more scolding, and even made a move, but it made the people watching the theater laugh.

In the wheat field, everyone wore long white scarves on their heads. Whether they were men or women, they worked hard one by one. The sweat accumulated on their faces formed a small river and dripped down their cheeks onto the dry ground. Evaporate clean.

Even so, people don't care about wiping their sweat, and they keep moving their hands, waving the sickle with their right hand, grabbing the straw with their left hand, and then putting the straw in their hands behind them, repeating the movements in their hands mechanically.

Even if sweat gets into the eyes, just take off the towel on your head and wipe your face, and then continue to dry, or if you are too tired in the middle, just drink two sips of water, and then continue to dry, in a word, the dry is over.

In this day and age, people are mostly simple, so they work desperately. Even if there are some who steal and cheat, there are not many of them, and their centimeters are also small. After all, scorekeepers are not free.

Lan Xi drove the tractor, and rushed from the field to the wheat field one after another. Some children saw Lan Xi sitting high on it, and walked fast. They couldn't help running with the tractor, and some of them got tired. The adults scolded them for being out of breath, but this did not dampen their curiosity.

On the first day, after work, everyone in the Zhang family went home one by one rubbing their arms and their waists. Lan Xi was the one in the best condition. Even his little nephew Zhang Xuyang was languid after spending a day outside in the sun and fighting for another day. Withered.

Lan Xi provoked the task of making dinner today. Before it was completely dark, Lan Xi deftly cooked a pot of corn paste, fried four wild eggs, and served it with sorghum pancakes.

Lan Xi didn't put it in a bowl, but divided the eggs into six portions, so there was no need to give way.

Now the labor intensity is too high, but the food is too poor, and the body is easily broken.

Yang Guilian didn't say anything after seeing it, but silently gave some of the eggs in the bowl to Zhang Xuyang, but he refused, and told grandma to eat.

Yang Guilian laughed happily, and no longer gave in, accepting the kindness from her eldest grandson.

Afterwards, Yang Guilian and Li Xuemei went to wash the pots and dishes. Lan Xi took advantage of the fact that it was almost dark, and quietly went out with some tools and ropes at home.

Lan Xi didn't come back until Yang Guilian finished boiling the water. The family wiped their bodies with towels, but they didn't have the energy to speak, so they went back to sleep.

Lan Xi was meditating on the bed, and soon she could hear Yang Guilian and Zhang Jianye's snoring on the opposite side. They were too tired after the day, and both of them tried their best to get the full centimeter. Centimeter, naturally we must seize the opportunity to do it well, otherwise we will be fools.

Lan Xi couldn't persuade her, so she could only work hard to do her job well. After this day, Lan Xi was also very tired, her arms were sore and swollen, and she almost didn't get off the tractor this day.

You must know that people in a village work, but there is only one tractor. Although it is slow to harvest wheat manually, but with so many people, Lan Xi naturally has no chance to stop and rest. After a day, the entire engine is hot, and the water tank is even more Added water several times.

According to the words of the captain, the speed is indeed much faster than before. The main reason is that the transportation can keep up with the harvest. Before, many people were needed to transport it, which took more time. Now that manpower and material resources are saved, the speed is naturally greatly improved.
