They worked all afternoon breaking corn and chopping corn stalks until the sun set and it got dark. Then they stopped working, recorded how many work points they had earned that day, and set off to go back.
Chu Yanyan sat on the side of the road, pulling at his collar to shake off the corn leaf debris on his body. He touched his neck, which was covered with yellow leaf fragments. Sweat that could be used as water to wash hair was dripping from his forehead, and his palms were red, and calluses would soon appear.
"It's so tiring. If I keep doing this, I'll definitely die of exhaustion." Chen Feiyang's complaining voice was heard.
Chu Yanyan was too tired to talk, but he very much agreed with Chen Feiyang's point of view.
Chen Feiyang looked at Jiang Tiantian and others who were talking and laughing not far away. He had to say that the girls were still very energetic.
They were exhausted, but they could still smile.
Da Wa sat next to Chu Yanyan, listening to Chen Feiyang's complaints. To give them another blow, he said coldly, "We still have to go to the commune to thresh the grain tonight."
"These days are so hard." Chen Feiyang covered his face.
Chu Yanyan picked up the large water bottle and took a sip of water: "Threshing, what kind of work are we going to do?"
"I operate the machine and carry the bags of rice to the warehouse. I have to get up early the next day, carry them out, and carry them to the open space to dry." Da Wa explained.
"When will this end?" Chen Feiyang didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he just lay on the ground with his hands on his face.
"Maybe we should finish planting all the crops we need." said Big Boy.
When Chu Yanyan heard this, he also lay on the ground, exhausted to death.
He asked the system: "Xiao Qi, when can I end this kind of life?"
"When the college entrance examination is resumed, you will be able to get into university through hard work, and that will be your time of liberation," the system replied.
"How many years until the college entrance examination?"
"It's 1974 now. There are still three years left. If you can get through it, the dawn of victory will belong to you. Come on, young man!"
Chu Yanyan: “…” Three more years.
Three years later, he will take Li Hexing away from here and go to the city to make money!
However, he still wanted to ask: "Can't I leave early?"
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, then explained, "Well, if it were someone else with a background, they might be able to leave early, but your deceased parents' background is a bit special. Without a letter of introduction and a guarantor, you can't leave here, and it's even more impossible for you to earn money during this period."
"Only when the bad guys are taken down, everything returns to normal, and the wrongful convictions are redressed, can you do whatever you want. There won't be so many rules."
"Okay." Chu Yanyan got up from the mud and walked back.
After dinner, Chu Yanyan followed Aunt Eighteen and the others to the commune. The family only had one lamp.
Uncle Eighteen and his friends were not the only ones who went to the commune to thresh the grain. Soon after they came out, several families came out, greeted each other, and then walked together to the commune.
Some sections of the team's road were pitch black, while some sections were illuminated by moonlight.
Chu Yanyan followed behind them, feeling a little lazy. There were footsteps coming from behind, the pace was so slow that you wouldn't hear it if you didn't listen carefully. He turned his head to look behind him, and when he saw who it was, his indifferent expression changed instantly, and he had a smile on his face.
Chu Yanyan stood there waiting for the person behind to come up.
Li Hexing also saw Chu Yanyan, who seemed to have discovered him. He hesitated, unsure whether to go up, but he couldn't control his steps and went up.
