Han Muchen became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but shout at his back, "Are you sick?"
Unexpectedly, the damn boy came back, kicked him hard on the leg and then... ran away?
Before running away, he did not forget to snatch the half-eaten popsicle from Han Muchen's hand:
"Bring it here!"
He is going to complain to Sister Lu!
While running, he bit the remaining popsicle viciously and muttered:
"It would be a waste if I don't eat it..."
Han Muchen was left alone, sulking in the same place:
No, isn't it for his own good to let him go to school?
————
Lu Wensheng was eating the dog tongue that her little sister had stuffed into her mouth on the tractor. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Hao coming over angrily, snatching the kettle from her hand and gulping down the water.
Lu Wensheng was not annoyed. He waited until he finished drinking the water before slowly asking:
"Did Han Muchen provoke you?"
Ma Yingjie leaned against the tractor while holding a kettle and snorted, "He actually asked me to go to school to be a teacher. I'm so pissed! I just held him back a little bit when he was working. Would he send me away?"
Lu Wensheng couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You also know that you are holding people back? I thought you didn't know."
Ma Yingjie's face, which was already red from running, turned even redder. He whispered, "I don't want to deal with those little idiots alone in school. I might as well go to the fields with him!"
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Well, let's not go. I'll find you an easier job if I have a chance."
Ma Yingjie was overjoyed: "Really?"
Lu Wensheng: "Yeah. Let's wait until we're done with this."
She has an idea to make money, but it is not mature yet. When she thinks about it, she will mention it to the village chief. Then it won't be too much to let Ma Yingjie be a small accountant, right?
Ma Yingjie nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Lu." Hehe, if I had to say it, it would have to be Sister Lu~
"Xiao Lu, take Xiao Lu and the others to pull the thresher out of the warehouse. Zhenguo is waiting for you." The two were chatting when they heard the team leader shouting in the distance.
Lu Wensheng quickly raised his voice and replied, "Coming soon!"
Lu Hao was puzzled: "Sister Lu, what is a thresher?" His hometown is in Shandong, and they don't grow rice there, so he really doesn't know what a thresher is.
Lu Wensheng started the tractor and explained to him: "It is a foot-operated thresher that removes rice grains from the rice. You will understand when you see it."
Ma Yingjie couldn't imagine it, so he could only say the same thing as Sister Lu said, he would know when he saw it.
With anticipation, Ma Yingjie saw the legendary thresher, which was a wooden box with a wooden roller inside, which was densely packed with long iron bars, similar to a comb.
The drum is fixed to the box wall by an iron shaft. A pedal device is installed at the bottom of the wooden box. A chain is used to connect the pedal device and the bearing of the drum. The drum can be rotated quickly by pedaling in a way similar to pedaling a bicycle.
Ma Yingjie was originally a science genius. After studying the threshing machine for a while, he understood its working principle.
This is different from the wheat threshing in their area, where several strong laborers pull a huge stone roller back and forth on the ground to press the wheat grains out. He often saw this when he went to his grandmother's house during the summer vacation when he was a child.
"Little Lu, what are you looking at? Hurry up and move it." Li Zhenguo saw Lu Hao squatting on the ground studying the thresher, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What's so good about this thing?
Ma Yingjie was caught being lazy and was a little shy: "Brother, this is the first time I've seen this thing, so I'm a little curious. I just want to see what's inside, hehe."
Li Zhenguo understood: "You don't grow rice there, do you?"
Lu Hao: "We only grow wheat, corn, peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, millet, cotton and so on."
Li Zhenguo nodded and said, "No wonder. Stop studying it for now. Hurry up and move this machine to the threshing ground. We have to stay up late to thresh the rice we harvested today."
Ma Yingjie was dumbfounded: "Ah? I still have to work at night?"
Li Zhenguo replied while picking up tools: "Really? Or what do you think? Eat more tonight. I guess we'll be busy until eleven or twelve o'clock..."
By the way, when the time comes, you guys should follow me and don’t let those old women in the village be taken as laborers.”
It was because this kid had good character that he gave him a little reminder. However, in his opinion, those who got along well with Youliang were not very smart. But the old man liked this kid more, so forget it, he would protect him a little!
Ma Yingjie was deeply moved and immediately said, "Well, wherever Big Brother goes, I'll go. I promise not to run away with him."
Li Zhenguo was amused by his appearance and laughed out loud. He called a few men next to him and together they lifted the thresher onto the tractor.
Lu Wensheng had not entered the warehouse. After seeing that everything had been moved, he led a few people to the threshing ground. On the way, he ran into Han Muchen and a few young men from the village. Meng Qingtang and Zhang Zhiping were also among them. Lu Wensheng stopped the tractor and asked:
"Why are you here?"
Han Muchen was also confused: "The village chief told us to go to the threshing ground."
Li Zhenguo at the back stood up and shouted, "Hurry up and come up." Hehe, his father sent him some soldiers.
When everyone arrived at the threshing ground, they realized their purpose. They were just loading and unloading workers. It would be better to harvest rice in the fields...
Under the leadership of Li Zhenguo, several people placed the threshers and necessary tools in place. From a distance, the rows of them looked quite spectacular.
"I'm afraid you have to work overtime tonight?"
Don't mention it, she actually guessed it right. When it was time to get off work, the village loudspeaker announced that everyone had to go to the threshing ground to thresh rice after dinner. No one was allowed to be absent, otherwise work points would be deducted...
The new educated youth were complaining in the back. Zhao Ying rolled her eyes and took Xu Feng's arm and muttered:
"We still have to work at night? We are all new here and we are exhausted after a day's work. Xu Zhiqing, do you think the village chief is targeting us?"
Xu Feng yelled, "Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going anyway. Why should I listen to you? I'm going to go talk to the village chief."
He then took Zhao Ying's hand and ordered, "Come with me."
Zhao Ying waved her hands and said in embarrassment: "I want to go with you, but I'm cooking today. If we go back late, you'll be hungry again..."
Zhao Ying was filled with resentment at the moment, but she couldn't go with them, so it was enough for her to be the first to stand out.
If Xu Feng's protest was successful, she would benefit from it. If she was scolded by the village chief, it would not be her business. She was a good comrade.
Xu Feng had no choice but to go find the village chief herself. She came to the countryside to build the countryside, not to do farm work with these mud-legged people. If the village chief disagreed, she would report the Ping'an Brigade for abusing promising young people.
