Shen Anyian walked back home with Qin Zhengqi. She was holding a flashlight and kept waving it around. Qin Zhengqi supported her and said, "Be careful when walking."
Shen An Nian suddenly shone a flashlight on his face and made a face at Qin Zhengqi, "Is it scary?"
"What's so scary about you?" Qin Zhengqi pinched her face gently, "Are you unhappy?"
Shen Anyian stopped playing tricks and took down the flashlight.
"I just thought about my parents. Comrade Huang was accompanied by his children, but my parents were just two people. I don't know how they are doing now."
"Didn't Commander Ye say that he had already contacted them and asked them to take care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law?
With his explanation, your parents-in-law won't have a hard time, so you don't have to worry."
Shen An Nian nodded gently. She just wanted to see them and wanted to know how they were doing.
When they returned home, they saw Shen Anyui happily trying on a straw hat.
The straw hat was specially made for her by Qin's mother. It suits her very well and is small and cute.
The autumn harvest will begin tomorrow, and the school will organize everyone to work in the fields. Shen Anyui is very curious about this and asks Mother Qin to prepare sickles and gloves so that he can show off his skills.
Qin's mother saw her trying on a straw hat indoors and said to her, "Take it off quickly. Wearing a straw hat indoors will prevent you from growing taller."
It won’t do if the guildhall doesn’t grow tall.
Shen Anyui quickly took off the hat and said, "Auntie, I just tried wearing it for a short while. Is it okay?"
"It's okay, just take it off and it will be fine."
Shen Anyui put the straw hat aside and didn't dare to take it again.
It was late at this time, Shen Anyian asked Shen Anyui to go to bed and went to take a shower. After coming back, she sat in a chair and started to make a facial mask.
She has been running outside all the time these days and her skin is almost tanned.
Qin Zhengqi saw that she had not returned to the room for a long time, so he walked out and saw that she had fallen asleep with cucumber slices all over her face.
He walked up to her and took off the dehydrated cucumber slices on her face, revealing a clean and white little face.
One hand passed through her legs and the other hand supported her back, picking her up.
Shen An Nian opened his eyes with difficulty, and when he saw the familiar face, he naturally put his arms around his neck and buried his face in the side of his neck.
Qin Zhengqi patted her back gently and asked, "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"
"I was so sleepy that I couldn't help falling asleep." She rubbed her face gently, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."
Her particularly affectionate look made Qin Zhengqi's heart soften.
When he returned to the room, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he hugged her and patted her back gently like a child, coaxing her to sleep.
Qin Zhengqi didn't put her on the bed until she fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Annian was woken up by the radio. The sweet voice of the propaganda officer and various red and professional quotations came from the radio.
Harvesting in autumn is the most important task for everyone.
The autumn harvest is a tight time and a heavy task, and there is no room for delay.
Qin Zhengqi has already gotten up. As the deputy commander of the third regiment, he is responsible for all the scheduling work for the autumn harvest during this period.
The family members in the family compound did not have to participate in labor, but many of them were from the countryside and knew how important the autumn harvest was. They organized a volunteer team and took the initiative to go to the fields to work.
Shen Annian was pregnant and didn't need to go out to work, so Qin Zhengqi arranged some logistical work for her.
When she got up, the house was busy. Qin's mother and Shen Anyui hurriedly finished their breakfast and were about to go to the fields.
The school is on vacation now, and the teacher asked everyone to gather at the edge of the field. Shen Anyui had to go there quickly.
Seeing Shen Annian leaving the room, Mother Qin warned: “Niannian, have breakfast first, don’t be in a hurry.”
Shen Anyian glanced at the gray sky outside and rubbed his eyes. "Are you going to the fields so early?"
"In the morning the weather is cooler, so the work is less tiring. In the afternoon the sun is too hot, so it's hard to work."
Shen Annian nodded, indicating that he understood.
Mother Qin: "Then we can leave first."
Shen Anyui also waved at her, "Sister, let's go first."
They hurried out of the yard, and the volunteer team also set off.
The rice is ripe, and the golden sea of rice extends all the way to the horizon. The heavy rice ears weigh on the branches, and one look at them will fill one's heart with the joy of the harvest.
Without saying hello, everyone rushed into the rice field as soon as they reached the ridge and cut down a large area of rice in a flash.
As soon as the rice was harvested, someone tied it up tightly and transported it to the thresher for threshing. Truckloads of rice were then transported to the threshing ground.
The radio played passionate and inspiring revolutionary songs to cheer everyone up and make everyone feel very motivated.
It was a little after ten in the morning, the sun was rising higher, and everyone had been working for more than three hours.
Shen Anyian led some older men and women who were not convenient to go out to serve everyone mung bean soup to quench their thirst and reduce internal heat.
After everyone finished drinking the mung bean soup, they wiped their mouths and continued to work.
Shen Annian went to the fields for a walk and came back to take a look at the threshing ground.
Seeing those golden rice grains really makes people happy.
It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that everyone started to pack up and go back to the cafeteria for lunch.
The soldiers in the kitchen squad tried their best to make the food as good as possible.
The first meal in the morning was chicken. Director Fang waved his hand and slaughtered fifty chickens.
At first glance, this number seems quite large, but there are more than 3,000 soldiers and their families working in the fields, and each person only gets three or four pieces of chicken.
But everyone was very satisfied with the meal. The food was so oily and juicy, and you could eat chicken, so what else would you need?
