Chapter 35: Continue working



Bai Guoguo cooked the porridge but didn't cook any other dishes. She closed the door and took out two glutinous rice balls and five or six tangerines from the space.

I ate two rice balls, a few tangerines, and a cucumber with the porridge.

Maybe because she slept on a heated kang, she felt her throat was dry when she woke up this morning.

So I especially feel like eating fruits today. I finished a small bowl of strawberries in the morning, and now I have eaten a few oranges and a cucumber, and I feel a little more hydrated.

After dinner, I took off my dirty coat and took a nap. Then the horn for work in the afternoon sounded again.

The team leader said in the morning that from now on the three teams would be led by their respective team leaders and would not need to gather in the drying yard.

When Bai Guoguo heard the broadcast, he scratched his head and climbed up in pain. Being a farmer is really hard. It's not even the busy farming season yet and he's already so tired.

She got up, quickly combed her hair, put on her dirty coat, and went out carrying her military water bottle and small green shoulder bag.

There was warm water in the kettle, mixed with a little spiritual spring water to restore strength. There were a few candies and biscuits in the bag.

You can use it to fill your stomach when you are tired from work or hungry.

He went out with the other educated youths in the Youth House and after walking a short distance, they met Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang who were waiting for her.

The two people were waving at her. Bai Guoguo was delighted, feeling like she had found a friend.

She greeted the educated youth around her and ran over.

"Auntie Wang, is my sister-in-law waiting for me?" Bai Guoguo trotted up to them with a smile in her eyes.

"That's not the case. Your sister-in-law and I thought you must come this way, so we waited for you here for a while and you're here!"

Aunt Wang pulled Guoguo's little hand over, patted it, and said with a smile.

"Mom, Guoguo, let's go, everyone should be gathered in front!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Bai Guoguo was crisp and agreed, carrying one on his left and one on his right, and followed the large group in front.

He Gang, who was driving the tractor in front, saw his mother, his sister-in-law, and Bai Guoguo holding hands in the rearview mirror, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

When I got to the field and got a basket, I continued to pick up grass roots and pebbles.

"Auntie, what should we plant on this piece of land we've cleared today? Why are the ridges higher than those in the wheat field?"

Bai Guoguo asked while squatting and picking up pebbles and grass roots.

"We're going to plant rice on this piece of land. Once the soil is dug, we should water the field. Once the seedlings in the nursery field are tall, we can plant them."

Aunt Wang stood up and looked at the endless dark land, her face full of hope and longing.

"Although the rice here isn't as productive as in the south, the rice we grow here is incredibly sweet. When the autumn harvest arrives this year, you'll be able to eat freshly cooked rice. The white rice is so fragrant, I could eat two bowls without any vegetables!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang's face was also full of smiles.

Her husband He Gang's elder brother He Lin is in the border defense force and is now a company commander. However, his rank is not high enough to accompany the army, so she can only farm and work at home and take care of the elderly at home.

Fortunately, both my great-grandfather and great-grandmother as well as my parents-in-law are very open-minded and loving elderly people.

Every year during the harvest or the New Year holidays, the family would make some delicious food and send it to the husband. When their head of the household was promoted to deputy battalion commander, he could join the army.

Not long ago, He Lin wrote back to say that he had made another contribution. His sister-in-law He Hong graduated from high school and also found a job in the county town.

Now my brother-in-law's marriage seems to be promising, and the girl is a very good person. Her life at home is getting better and better. How can I make her unhappy?

The three of them chatted while working, and before they knew it, a long time had passed.

Bai Guoguo stood up by supporting herself on her knees, pounded her aching waist, and then looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were still busy with their relationship. She really couldn't help but admire them.

She is such a young girl that her back aches from exhaustion, but Aunt Wang and Sister Zhang are still full of energy. There is no comparison, no comparison!

He looked up at the vast land again. Fortunately, He Gang was driving a tractor in front to plow the land. Otherwise, if he only relied on cows and manpower, he would not know how long it would take to finish the work!

Bai Guoguo thought to himself that he was not cut out for farm work. He had been picking grass with a basket all day and his hands were covered with blisters.

Since she doesn't have the physical strength, she might as well contribute her brain!

She still has three large suitcases full of information in her space that she hasn't processed yet.

There is a lot of information on weapons, people's livelihood, medical care, agriculture, animal husbandry and other aspects. Taking out one or two of them can create great value.

And yet she still has to do physical labor here, which is really a waste of resources!

But how can I make the cadres in the team trust me and lead them to open workshops and build factories? It’s really a headache!

As for those military scientific and technological materials, we need to think carefully about which unit they should be delivered to and when they should be delivered.

This is the most worrying thing, but I still have no idea and I don’t understand this era very well.

Well, let’s take it slow, at least get to know the people first!

Bai Guoguo thought about it and sighed, then bent down and continued to work!
