Rice is harvested twice a year. Early rice is sown from January to March and harvested from late May to early June; late rice is sown from June to July and harvested from late October to early November.
There are three varieties of corn in a year: spring corn is planted in March and April and harvested in June and July; summer corn is planted in June and July and harvested in September and October; autumn corn is planted in August and September and harvested in November and December.
Therefore, June and July are the busiest times, as people have to rush to harvest rice and plant late rice, as well as harvest spring corn and plant summer corn.
This is also the reason why new educated youth have been sent to the countryside since June.
When the eight educated youth arrived at the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader divided them into two teams, with two old educated youths leading each team.
Qiao Qingqing and Yao Xiaoman, plus a new male educated youth followed Zhao Yong, while another female educated youth Zhou Lanfang and the remaining two male educated youth followed Xu Wensheng.
Each team is responsible for two rice fields. In order to prevent waste of time and effort, Zhou Aiguo also established a reward and punishment mechanism.
Teams that complete their tasks within the specified time can get a day off after the busy farming season, but if they fail to complete their tasks, they will not get any leave.
Qiao Qingqing wants a vacation.
So he raised his hand and asked, "Captain, can the holidays be combined?"
Zhou Aiguo was stunned. It seemed that Old Qiao's daughter was quite confident in her own abilities!
"Yes, during the busy farming season, you will get a holiday if you complete your tasks within the stipulated time. After the busy farming season, you don't have to work and you can arrange your time freely."
Qiao Qingqing nodded with satisfaction.
When the rice harvest began, Qiao Qingqing began a gorgeous performance.
Harvesting rice requires skills. The more experienced the hand is, the faster he can harvest rice.
After Qiao Qingqing married into the Zhou family, she had to go to the fields every day and did farm work for many years.
Even among the villagers, there are many who don't work as hard as her.
In the end, the educated youth team that Zhao Yong was in only took a little more than half of the stipulated time to harvest the two fields.
More than half of them were cut by Qiao Qingqing alone.
This surprised Zhou Aiguo very much. Although the tasks he assigned to the educated youth were not heavy, Qiao Qingqing's performance was almost the same as those of the complacent young women in the village.
After harvesting the rice, Qiao Qingqing took a short rest before going to help Xu Wensheng's team.
From the moment she decided to go to the countryside, Qiao Qingqing made up her mind to win over the educated youth she could.
Because the target of her revenge is Zhou Hongjun's family, the local tyrants in the fishing village.
In addition, this is also a preparation for "welcoming the prosperous times" in the future...
At noon, someone came to deliver food to every household.
Two educated youths at the educated youth site also went back early to cook, and their lunch was delivered now.
However, the educated youth could only eat boring sweet potato porridge with boiled vegetables, while the villagers next door were eating delicious steamed clams.
The educated youth felt very uncomfortable at that moment.
Zhou Lanfang asked in a low voice: "Why do they have seafood to eat?"
Xu Wensheng smiled bitterly, "That's because the villagers went to the sea early to pick up fish. Brother Zhao and I also wanted to go to the sea, but unfortunately we were unlucky and couldn't tell where the fish were. Every time we went, we didn't get much, it was just a waste of time."
The three young male educated youth looked eager to try.
"We're going to go fishing tomorrow morning too. With so many of us, I don't believe we won't get anything!"
Yao Xiaoman looked at Qiao Qingqing and said, "Sister Qingqing, you live in the town. Are you going to the sea? Why don't you take us there?"
Except for Qiao Qingqing, the other educated youth came from the county town or even further away.
At this time, he stared at Qiao Qingqing with anticipation.
Qiao Qingqing smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao, let's go and try it together."
