What wakes up college students is the starry dream.
What wakes up the villagers is the crowing of cocks and barking of dogs.
But when college students and villagers lived together, it was the eighth set of radio gymnastics that woke up the village.
"Let's start now, the eighth set of radio gymnastics."
A mechanical female voice shouted the beat from the village committee's loud speaker.
In the yards of each household, college students enthusiastically invited the farmers to join them.
But the villagers who had been shouting for what they wanted in front of Li Baiqing yesterday became the same as before after their fanatical excitement subsided.
Resist, watch, remain silent.
There were 150 college students and nearly 70 households. Only a very small number of lively and generous villagers took the initiative to join after persuasion. In addition to a few villagers who were directly dragged over by the more enthusiastic college students, there were less than 20 villagers who participated.
The rest of the people were either busy with their own things or standing aside with their hands folded watching the excitement.
This is just a simple radio gymnastics.
Huo Qianli, members of the village committee, and staff looked around. The situation was worse than expected, but it didn't matter.
After the exercise, the college students brushed their teeth and washed their faces. The white toothpaste bubbles and the facial cleansers that were smeared on their faces were quite novel to some villagers who had never seen them before. Not to mention some of the families with little kids, they followed them silently, with their big round eyes, a look of curiosity and desire, then raised their hands to wipe their noses with the back of their hands, and rubbed them on their clothes skillfully, forcing a few girls who wanted to hug them to give up the idea.
After the first night together, everyone gradually became more familiar with each other, and the minor problems with tableware, tables and chairs were either solved or overcome.
After all, they have bowls and chopsticks, the rice is cooked and the vegetables are fried. They are not here for vacation, so why think so much!
After breakfast, some villagers went to work in the fields, and the college students were also eager to try. The villagers found some tools for them, such as lightweight hoes, small shovels and sickles for weeding, and then they went out of the house together.
In late autumn in Shuzhong, the wind is still gentle. The fresh air in the fields in the early morning carries a faint fishy smell of soil, which makes people feel refreshed.
Two college students were walking forward, following a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was used to silence, and the two college students didn't say anything either, so the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
One of them thought, there are still a few days left, it can’t always be like this!
So he smiled and started chatting, "Brother! Where are we going?"
The man pointed to a long and narrow field not far away.
The college student looked at the soil on the side of the road and said, "Hey, the wheat is growing well! It's so green."
The man turned his head and looked at him. "That's leek."
......
Not far away, the atmosphere in another household was much more friendly. A middle-aged couple led their two girls to the fields. The man took the initiative to introduce: "Let's plant some garlic today. We can pick some garlic sprouts and eat them when the time comes. They will be delicious when stir-fried with pork!"
A girl nodded immediately, "Yeah, I like to eat twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts!"
“I like it too!”
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Then I'll go to another store to pick some fresh garlic sprouts and stir-fry them for dinner."
"Yes, yes!"
The four of them walked to a crescent-shaped plot of land not far from their home, chatting and laughing. A girl from the north asked, "Sister, why are all your plots of land so small?"
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "All our land is concentrated in the village, in patches. Look, it's over there!"
She pointed to the vast stretch of medicinal fields vaguely visible on the hillside not far away. "Cadre Huo redistributed the land to those of us who still wanted to grow some crops. It's all near our homes, and he also helped to modify the ditches. You see, when we need water, we just go there to fetch it. It's very comfortable. We now grow some food for ourselves, and when we have free time, we go to the cooperative's medicinal fields to help out. We earn much more money than before."
As they spoke, they watched the man carry a bucket towards an irrigation culvert about ten steps away, and start filling the bucket with water using a long-handled irrigation spoon.
Seeing this, the woman picked up a basket full of garlic seeds and said to the two girls with a smile, "I'll go dig a hole, and you can help break the garlic into cloves!"
The two girls nodded and took the basket.
The woman spat silently into her palm and began to dig a hole with a hoe.
When the man filled the water and brought it over, he saw the two girls squatting nearby busying themselves with the results, and he almost swore at them.
Next to the two girls were white and tender garlic cloves, with the garlic skins peeled off cleanly. In order to avoid dirtying the garlic cloves, they even took out a piece of tissue they carried with them and put it underneath.
......
Some villagers went out to work, while some chose to stay at home today.
Zhan Baozhuang, the famous farmer Tieniu in Hushan Village, has not worked in the fields for some time.
The main reason is that the burden of being the security captain of the cooperative is getting heavier and heavier, which makes him worried.
After breakfast early in the morning, he went out again like Wu Hou patrolling the mountains. The two young college students living in his house cleaned the house with his son Zhan Erniu.
Erniu's mother is a virtuous woman, and her home is definitely one of the cleanest in Hushan Village.
But in the eyes of the two college students, it still looked dirty and messy.
Therefore, cleaning on the first day was exactly what they wanted. Erniu was instructed by Tieniu in advance and he cooperated very well in helping them find brooms, dustpans, rags, etc.
