After returning from pouring water, Shen Man passed by their room and smelled a faint smell of meat.
It seems that everyone has brought some inventory, and it was really difficult at the beginning.
She poured a basin of water with a calm expression, then returned to the room, locked the door, and closed the curtains.
Their collective house has wires, which are the same in everyone's house, but they buy the light bulbs themselves, and Shen Man doesn't have time to go out now.
There are energy-saving lamps in her space, but they are bright and white, so if you light them up, everyone will come and watch.
After wiping her body with water, Shen Man stretched again. She had a lot of work to do today, and she was afraid that the original owner's body wouldn't be able to adapt to it.
If she couldn't get up tomorrow, wouldn't it be a joke? After all, she worked so hard today and had to stop eating for the whole day. It would be too embarrassing.
After sleeping on the cool bed, Shen Man gradually fell into sleep.
Maybe it's because I fall asleep very quickly because of working.
When I woke up the next morning, I was really sore, and even stretching was of little use.
Shen Man frowned and walked out step by step. Everyone outside was in the same state as her.
Especially Qiao Xin and Wang Yue, the two lesbians were already wailing.
"Whoever wants to go can go! I won't go!" Qiao Xin shouted, sitting motionless on the big stone in the yard.
The old educated youth are used to this kind of situation, after all, this is how they came here in the first place.
It is obviously impossible to plunge into farm work all at once.
"Qiao Xin, hold on, I'll help you with the work." Xu Jie was also tired, but he still had to persuade him.
My family has said that I will transfer them back if there is an opportunity, but they must perform well in rural construction.
Even if it's not particularly good, it should be about the same, not bad.
Hearing this, Qiao Xin curled her lips and said, "You can't even finish it by yourself, so you still want to help me. How can you help me?"
That's all she had to do, but she couldn't bear it anymore. Her wrists were scratched several times by the corn leaves, and she felt pain now.
Xu Jie comforted him: "We will definitely not get used to it when we first come here. We will get used to it slowly. Have you forgotten what I told you last night?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xin stopped arguing and lowered her head in silence, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wang Yue next to her looked over curiously. What on earth did she say? Can she still endure it before going to work?
She turned to look at Shen Man who was washing her face and asked, "Shen Man, aren't you tired? My whole body aches."
Maybe it was because I helped load corn on the tractor yesterday and threw corn back and forth on the truck. As a result, I feel so sore now, especially my legs.
Shen Man poured the water and said without looking back: "How can I not be tired? I'm not used to being tired all the time."
Yes, is it useful to complain every day? What do these children who have never done farm work and at most help weed weeds in school understand?
I thought it would be better to adapt to the environment here if I could rest for a day or two.
Others went to eat one after another. Today's breakfast was cooked by the old educated youth, and lunch had to be cooked by the newcomers.
After dinner, everyone took the tools and continued to work. Compared with yesterday's neatness, Shen Man was a little slower today, but she was much better than others, and she kept chasing other lesbians in the team.
The weather is getting colder and the wind is blowing.
Shen Man tightened the headscarf on his head and took the time to finish picking off the cornmeal.
There is a field for growing soybeans not far away, and it is just as busy there. The Northeast is busiest only in spring and autumn, and at other times in summer, seedlings are removed and top dressing is required.
But there is not much fertilizer now, and the top dressing is not much different from the area without top dressing.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as everyone arrived at the field, it started to rain lightly.
"Why is it still raining? It's so good." Qiao Xin whispered, she couldn't bear the torture these past two days.
If it rains, then there is no need to work!
Looking at the people in front of him who were continuing to walk up the mountain, Shen Man felt that it was impossible to rest, otherwise everyone would have turned around and gone back.
really.
After arriving in the fields, Zhang Fenghai still assigned work.
Seeing that there were still some unharvested corns on the mountain, he also became anxious and angry.
In winter, everyone just eats corn, and soybeans are used to exchange for food. This is a mountainous area, and there is no wheat or rice at all.
"Captain, do you still have to work when it rains? Will you get sick?" Qiao Xin couldn't help but go over and ask.
Hearing this, Zhang Fenghai replied: "If you don't want to eat in winter, just stop doing it. It might snow one day. If we don't harvest these corns, they will be buried in the snow. They are all grain. Don't you want to eat them?" "
He wasn't angry, he just scolded me sternly.
These delicate lesbians will burn incense as long as they don't cause any trouble. Now is the time to harvest the land, and we can't wait for the rain to stop.
Besides, it was the same as in previous years. Taking medicine when you are sick is better than going hungry.
Seeing what he said, Qiao Xin could only go with everyone. Who would let people have food in their hands?
Shen Man was picking up corns with the team members. At this time, a little girl in her late teens came over and started picking up corns next to her.
"Comrade, what's your name?" The little girl looked at her with big eyes, and the two patches of plateau red on her face looked particularly festive.
Maybe because of her young age, she has baby fat on her face and looks like the chubby girl in the New Year paintings.
"My name is Shen Man, what about you?" Shen Man was also bored, so he started chatting with her.
Both of them kept picking up the corn with their hands, and no one said anything.
In fact, the same goes for other team members. Everyone works together with acquaintances and chats when they have nothing to do. The captain will not care.
The little girl's name is Gu Nan. She has been working at home since she graduated from elementary school. According to her, she didn't like going to school, so she stopped studying.
The two of them chatted and worked, but the light rain kept falling. At five o'clock, the team leader asked them to stop work.
Everyone is wet, so we will finish work early today.
"Sister Man, can I go hang out with you tonight?" Gu Nan felt very good about her, so she wanted to chat more and make friends.
After all, Shen Man is much easier to get along with than those educated youths. She is unwilling to deal with these people who have high standards.
Hearing this, Shen Man thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, "Then you can come over after dinner."
After the two made an appointment, they went back separately.
On the way, Qiao Xin kept complaining about the life here, and said that the captain was inhumane.
Everyone else ignored this person. If the captain heard it, wouldn't he have to wear small shoes?
What's more, there were many members of the brigade on the way back, and they all looked at Qiao Xin with unkind eyes, but this person didn't know it.
"Okay Xinxin, stop talking." Xu Jie pulled her sleeve.
Qiao Xin couldn't notice it, but he noticed it. If someone really spread the word, their situation would become difficult in the future.
Returning to the collective household, Shen Man quickly went to turn on the stove in his room.
This stove is next to the kang, and it is open to the kang. It can boil water and put pots on it.
Boil a kettle with water, then wipe yourself with the water, put on dry clothes, and then wash your hair and feet to avoid catching a cold.
