As for pig grass, they would cut some on the way back, or let the younger children, who had less labor, cut it.
Led by children around ten years old.
Because the adults had taken the sickles to the fields to harvest rice, the children used scissors to cut grass for the pigs.
Although the speed is a bit slow, at least there is a tool to use.
It's faster than pulling them out with their hands, and it doesn't hurt their hands.
However, in order to prevent the children from cutting their hands, the scissors were held by the older children.
After they have cut a certain amount of pig grass, they sometimes have to follow other children to the fields to pick up rice ears, and they have basically no time to play.
Whenever Lin Yizhen saw these children squatting on the ground picking up rice ears, she felt sad in her heart: These children have a hard time too, just like the children of ordinary people in Dajing Dynasty.
But they are much happier than the people of Dajing Dynasty. At least they will not face any danger other than natural disasters.
Unlike the people of the Dajing Dynasty, they not only had to face natural disasters, but also had to face exploitation by officials at all levels of the court, as well as frequent banditry.
In short, in their dynasty.
People lived a very difficult life, far from being as happy as they are now.
For a week, everyone worked hard in the fields from dawn to dusk, and finally, all the rice was harvested.
Then, they work together to put the harvested grain on the drying yard to dry.
Fortunately, the weather was nice and it was sunny every day.
Soon, the villagers of Lizhuang Village packed the dried grain into bags and prepared to transport it to the town to pay the public grain tax.
Public grain had to be delivered to the town, and the best and driest grain had to be transported there.
Otherwise, the people at the grain station would ask them to pull it back and dry it again.
Even with dry food like this, they still lose a few pounds.
As for how many pounds are lost, that depends on the mood of the person who checks the food at the time.
Lin Yizhen had never seen the village pay its grain tax. She wanted to go, but the village officials wouldn't allow it. They didn't need so many people to pay the tax.
Besides, this is the time when there are the most people in the town, and there are all kinds of people.
If these delicate educated youth were targeted by bad guys and something happened, their positions as village cadres would be over.
If the situation gets worse, they might even be sent to a farm for reformation.
So, for the sake of your own position and life, it is better not to take them with you.
Lin Yizhen was not disappointed when she heard that they couldn't go with her.
After all, the captain and his men had business in town, and the oxcart had to carry food, so there was no place to take them to town.
If they want to go, they can only walk there by themselves.
Which of the educated youth was willing to walk such a long distance? Lin Yizhen was even less willing.
Although there is a bicycle in her space, the bicycle has not yet crossed the clear road and cannot be taken out for the time being.
The people chosen by the village chief to pay the public grain tax were all young and strong men in the village. And they were all men, not a single woman.
It’s not that he dislikes women, but because it takes a long time to pay the public tax.
There was a high probability that they would have to spend the night in the town, which meant they would have to sleep in the open air and carry food back and forth, a task that men were more adept at.
The villagers quickly loaded the grain onto the truck, and then the team leader took them to the town.
Each of them brought their own dry food and water bottle, and each of them also brought an old thick coat to cover their heads.
That's what they used as a blanket at night.
The nights are still a bit cold now, so they need to bring thicker clothes to keep warm.
Otherwise, most of them would get sick after this night.
Lin Yizhen and the villagers sent away these people who paid their grain taxes, and then prepared to return to their residence.
After walking a few steps, Lin Yizhen remembered that she didn't seem to see Qian Xiaoman today.
I have been following her recently and it seems like she has discovered me.
Then, she kept hiding from herself.
I didn't want to follow her today, but I saw her leaving the educated youth site.
After all, I was worried, so I followed her out.
Unexpectedly, she disappeared in just a short while.
Could something have happened? Lin Yizhen thought anxiously.
Thinking of this, Lin Yizhen hurried to the educated youth site.
When they arrived at the educated youth site, they found that Lu Zhaodi and Qian Xiaoman were not there, and only Chen Gui was there.
Lin Yizhen stepped forward and asked, "Chen Gui, do you know where Qian Xiaoman went?"
"Qian Xiaoman? She went out with Lu Zhaodi before." Chen Gui looked up at Lin Yizhen and said.
When Lin Yizhen heard that Qian Xiaoman and Lu Zhaodi had gone out, she became even more nervous.
I wasn't paying attention for just a moment, and Lu Zhaodi took advantage of the opportunity.
This Lu Zhaodi really deserves to die. We were all educated youth sent to the countryside together, so couldn't we just get along? Why did she have to harm others?
I don’t know where this damn Lu Zhaodi took Qian Xiaoman?
Lin Yizhen ran anxiously to the back mountain while cursing Lu Zhaodi in her heart.
Halfway through the run, I saw a lot of children collecting firewood at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yizhen finally stopped. They probably wouldn't go to the back mountain. People were constantly coming and going there, and any unusual activity would be noticed.
Therefore, Lu Zhaodi would definitely not take anyone to the back mountain.
The most likely place they would go is the small road leading to Fulong Mountain, where there are a lot of weeds.
In addition, the villagers are afraid of Fulong Mountain in the east and rarely go there.
If Lu Zhaodi really wanted to harm Qian Xiaoman, that would be a good place where she wouldn't be discovered.
