Equally astonished were the inspection group not far away and the farm leadership team accompanying the visit.
After a long while, the leader sighed happily:
"Women are not inferior to men! Which school is this female classmate from? How long have you been learning to drive a tractor?"
The farm leader immediately replied:
"Today we come to County No. 6 Middle School, because the teaching tasks of each period are different..."
Tractor plowing was added temporarily just to make up for the job. Students were not exposed to this before.
So he didn't know how long Xu Yin had been studying.
But to be honest, all the preparations in the early stage would be in vain. The editor should make it nicer:
"This is also for the sake of balance. We all do...well, we all learn the same kind of work. Students will inevitably have opinions. Moreover, labor education is originally education as the main purpose and labor as a supplement. Learning all aspects of labor is the true meaning of education...
"
The leaders from the province nodded in agreement:
"That makes sense! Xiao Wang, please write it down and tell everyone about it when you get back to the meeting. Labor classes are not just about labor. The main thing is to strengthen education and let students have more exposure to different types of work. After leaving school and entering society, they can
Better connection.”
After a pause, he said in disbelief:
"So, this female classmate is new to tractors today?"
"That's not necessarily the case," his secretary reminded in a low voice, "Nowadays it is not difficult to prepare a tractor in each village. You may have come across it during the busy farming season."
It’s my first time learning so well. Who would believe me if I tell you?
But even if there is normal contact, driving so fast and plowing so deep, this is the level of skill.
For example, even the old masters who have been doing this work on the farm all year round cannot reach this level.
I'm going to get motion sickness while sitting on a tractor and feel so uncomfortable that I feel like vomiting.
After Xu Yin plowed the last ridge of land, the simulation interface finally showed an "s" rating, and the joy of victory filled her heart.
"Master, how do you think I'm doing?"
She happily turned her head and asked the master.
The system has given her an S-level rating, so the master must be able to praise her a bit, right?
Master: "..."
I'm so dizzy that I no longer have the energy to speak, okay?
Xu Yin: "..."
However, the old master was helpless, so the inspection team and the farm leadership team came over to praise her.
Finally, someone mentioned something, and the farm leader waved his hand and awarded her a certificate of honor for "The First Tractor Operator in Agricultural-School Cooperation."
The prize is an enamel basin, a towel, and a pork knife.
Yes, because of the inspection team this time, the farm endured the pain and prepared a lot of vegetables and meat.
Students with outstanding performance and excellent completion of labor tasks will be given both spiritual and material rewards.
Just like the school selects three good students and outstanding cadres every semester, the farm also held a final commendation meeting.
Xu Yin was also taken for a group photo by an inspection group from the province.
Secretary Wang even whispered to her: "The leader has said that if there are competitions such as tractor plowing in the future, I will send you an invitation letter. With these competitions as a foundation, it will be much more convenient for Red Flag Bearers to enter the society and select model workers in the future."
Xu Yin: "..."
No need to!
But it still feels good to go home with a prize on your back.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
"Just in time for dinner. Why are you so late this time?"
Xu's mother saw a large baggage hanging on both sides of the faucet of her car and a schoolbag on her body. She thought it was fabric for students' custom-made clothes, so she quickly came over to help.
"This week's labor class went to work on the farm. It ended a little late. I have to go back to school to get my schoolbag, but it's too late. Mom, what do you think this is?"
She opened one of the large bundles, revealing a brand new enamel basin.
"Ouch!" Xu's mother gasped, "Where did you get the money to buy it? You didn't waste the deposit given by your classmates, did you? Don't you have a washbasin at home? Why did you spend this unjust money?"
Pretending to hit her.
"No!" Xu Yin exclaimed, "This is a prize for my good work performance. It not only includes a washbasin, but also towels and pork!"
As he said that, he took out a knife of pork from another bag.
Originally, she didn't want to stuff the meat into the bag, but she was worried about being seen along the way.
After all, most people only buy cuts of meat during the holidays.
Normally, weighing half a catty would be considered a big deal, but such a large meat trailer faucet was too eye-catching, so I had to bear the burden.
"Pig, pork?"
Seeing this five kilograms of pork, Xu's mother was dizzy, "Is it really a prize? No deposit required?"
"I can't lie to anyone, and I won't lie to you! It's really a prize, and here's a certificate!"
Seeing the certificate, Xu’s mother couldn’t help but smile:
"Oh, old man! Our daughter has won a prize! It's a grand prize! The prizes are huge, including washbasins, towels, pork... Where are you, old man? You're hiding in the latrine to smoke again, aren't you!!!"
The washbasin and towels Xu Yin brought back were all hidden in the cabinet in the bedroom by Xu's mother:
"Keep it for your dowry."
Xu Yin: "..."
Fortunately, the pork was not cooked.
"It's too late today. I'll cook braised pork for you to eat tomorrow." Xu's mother said happily.
Since the reform and opening up, meat stamps and cloth stamps have been canceled in some rapidly developing areas.
However, although Mingyang County has relaxed the agricultural product market, allowing farmers to take to the streets to sell their own chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, vegetables grown, and mountain products found, the supply of pork is still in short supply, so the meat stamps have not been cancelled.
If you have a household registration in the city, you will receive a fixed quota of meat coupons every month. Even if it is only half a catty, it is still fresh pork. In the countryside, it is not so good.
Fortunately, in the past two years, pig raising is no longer limited to village collectives. Households can apply to raise pigs if they want to, but they need to turn in a task pig at the end of the year.
Families with rich labor force in the village will raise a few pigs, and they have to wait until the end of the year to complete the turn-in tasks before they can kill them and eat them.
At that time, the old Xu family also wanted to raise two animals, one to hand in tasks and the other to kill for food.
Although his family is not rich in labor, they have a daughter-in-law, so it doesn't hurt to call her out at all.
But raising pigs is no better than raising chickens and ducks. The area of the pig pen is larger.
There are two yards in front and back of Lao Xu's house. After building two wing rooms in the front, the yard is half the size. There is a drinking well next to it. After building a pig pen, there is no yard.
One side of the backyard is a firewood shed and toilet, the other side is planted with seasonal vegetables, and the back is a private plot.
To build a pig pen, you have to destroy the vegetable plot, which is really a bit reluctant.
In addition, I was firmly opposed to raising pigs at home at the time, as I thought raising pigs was too smelly.
Even if she didn't need to cut pig grass, cook pig food, or clean the pig pen, she still felt that she was losing face and her female classmates in the city would laugh at her.
In this way, Lao Xu's family did not raise pigs, but spent money to buy pork at the end of the year.
Anyway, her family has an eldest son who earns a salary, and the money is better than other families.
Anyway, life is much better than it was a few years ago. During the Chinese New Year, I buy half a fan of pork and eat it for a few hearty meals. The rest is smoked and salted, so I can eat it sparingly until the next summer harvest.
Especially those like Xu's mother who are very economical and have food until autumn.
