"How about I go back to Hu City first and come back after your autumn harvest is over?"
Han Zhen felt that staying here and avoiding work would make him feel ashamed. He couldn't bear to watch everyone work while he rested peacefully by the side.
But there is a saying that goes, out of sight, out of mind.
If he returned to Hu City and couldn't see it, he wouldn't feel guilty.
"Believe that you are not the kind of person who would retreat when faced with difficulties. Keep persevering."
"Yes, of course I am. I am absolutely right."
"You really love to joke around."
Han Zhen angrily shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
He always felt that he was being cheated. If he had known earlier, he would have come later.
Shen Annian couldn't help but find it funny when he saw him sulking.
"Don't be angry. There are two hours of rest at noon, which is enough for you to have a good sleep."
"Two hours is no use. It would be better if I could just not work."
"You can think like this when you dream during your nap at noon."
Han Zhen poked the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks. It was so infuriating.
He had to eat quickly and go back to his room to rest and recover his strength.
After Shen Anyian finished seeing Han Zhen, he ran to see Huang Linhao.
Today, in addition to Huang Linhao and his wife, the two children also went to the fields to work together.
Shen An Nian originally didn't intend to let Huang Linhao go to the ground, but Huang Linhao was very persistent.
He had just arrived and was eager to integrate into the group.
Moreover, given his current status, he should not avoid work to avoid gossip.
Although working in the fields was very hard, it gave him a sense of satisfaction of being part of the collective.
“Comrade Shen, you don’t have to worry about me, my body can handle it.”
"Anyway, you just got here and you've been exhausted all the way. You should take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."
"Comrade Shen, don't worry, we have it in mind."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you. Have a good rest."
The two children stood behind Fan Yunyun, looking at her with their big eyes that were clearly black and white.
Although they had just arrived and could not remember everything, they remembered that it was this sister who gave them sweet candies.
Shen Anyian saw the two dark and thin children staring at him and smiled at them.
"Yuanyuan Zhuangzhuang, I'm going back first."
Huang Linhao has two children, his eldest daughter is Yuanyuan and his youngest son is Zhuangzhuang.
Fan Yunyun rubbed the two children's heads and said, "Say goodbye to your sister."
Yuanyuan stretched her head out to look at her, pursed her lips, and whispered to her, "Goodbye, sister."
Shen Anyian waved to them and went home to rest.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the broadcast started on time and everyone started to get busy again.
Shen Anyian went to the threshing ground and watched, turning over the rice from time to time.
After a while, the wind suddenly blew and the sky became overcast.
The experienced old man immediately shouted: "It's going to rain, hurry up and collect the grain."
Everyone immediately got to work, methodically gathering the rice together, packing it into bags, and transporting it to the shed that had just been built nearby.
They had just finished transporting the rice when the rain started to fall and hit the threshing ground.
The ground, which was already scorched by the sun, came into contact with water, and a wave of heat hit us in the face.
The rain didn't last long. After about five minutes, the sun came out again.
When the sun dried the cement floor of the threshing ground, the ladies saw the clear sky and hurriedly moved the grain to the threshing ground again.
One woman complained, "The weather at this time of year is just unpleasant. Every now and then a few drops of rain fall, making everyone busy all the time."
Another old lady also said: "That's not true. God deliberately doesn't want people to dry the grain in peace.
It's not so bad here. There are many people, so it's not difficult to harvest the rice.
In the past, there weren’t so many people watching over the rice in the brigade, so the rice got soaked by the rain, and some of it got soaked and spoiled, and even sprouted and became inedible.”
"If God doesn't let us live, there's really nothing we can do."
Shen Annian listened to their complaints while working, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that everyone was really working hard.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she told the aunties and took several other aunties with her, along with the herbal tea prepared by the kitchen staff, to go to the fields to give it to everyone.
At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone has an hour's break for lunch.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the troops turned on the headlights and everyone started working intensively again, and the day's work ended at ten o'clock.
At 6:30 in the morning, the day's work begins again.
After working hard for ten days, we finally harvested all the rice.
Although the soldiers in the kitchen team tried their best to ensure that everyone had good food and drink every day, the heavy farm work still made everyone exhausted.
After harvesting this batch of rice, everyone lost weight, became several layers darker, and some were even sunburned.
Fortunately, there is a bumper harvest this year, which is a happy thing for everyone.
Director Fang weighed the harvested rice and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
This year's rice yield is 30% more than last year's.
This means that the soldiers in the army will no longer have to go hungry.
Not only Director Fang was very happy, everyone was also extremely happy to hear the news. Even if it was hard, it was worth it.
Shen Annian was also very happy to hear this. It would be great if Lingquan could help everyone and let everyone have enough food.
What made everyone even happier was that on the day the grain harvest was completed, the kitchen team slaughtered a pig so that everyone could have a full meal of meat.
Although everyone was almost exhausted after working for so long, they had to admit that the food these days was really good.
