After the troublemakers left, the entire wheat warehouse became quiet and everyone worked diligently.
The people in this warehouse are all serious about their work and work efficiently. In a short while, they took out all the wheat grains in the three wheat warehouses and dried them.
The first team that had been harvesting wheat on the slopes had returned carrying the freshly harvested wheat and had already pulled the bundles of wheat straw to the threshing ground, a separate open area next to where they were drying the wheat grains.
Ning Xiyue went to the threshing ground and carefully observed how others dried the wheat, and then followed suit.
In fact, it is very simple. Just spread out the bundles of wheat straw you have brought back and spread them flat on the ground. Make sure to spread them evenly to ensure that every straw can be exposed to the sun.
Ning Xiyue worked with the aunts. After laying out the wheat straw, she started to dry the rice.
The early batch of rice has matured, so the rice in the team is already in the harvesting stage.
The drying yard is correspondingly busier.
Ning Xiyue didn't even drink a sip of water for the whole morning, and she never stopped walking. She was a brick of socialism, and she would be moved wherever she was needed.
Nearing noon, the members who had been working were leaving work one after another, but this was the busiest time for their drying group and the most lively time in the drying yard.
The members came over using ox carts, flatbed carts, wheelbarrows or carrying the grain they had harvested all morning on their own shoulders.
Seeing these grains, Ning Xiyue continued to spread out the wheat straw to dry. A lot of wheat was harvested today.
While drying wheat straw in the threshing ground, Ning Xiyue also met people from the educated youth compound.
Wu Guifang came over carrying four bundles of wheat straw, "Xiyue, help me take it."
"Okay, take your time and I'll help you." Ning Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward, took one side of the carrying pole with both hands, and helped unload the straw bundle.
Ning Xiyue and Wu Guifang spread the four bundles evenly on the ground.
Wu Guifang lowered her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the towel around her neck. As she walked, she said, "Thank you, Ha Xiyue. I'll go back and cook. You go ahead and do your thing."
"Okay, you go back. I'll be back soon." Ning Xiyue waved her hand and wiped the sweat off her face.
The midday sun was getting hotter and hotter, and Ning Xiyue had already wet two towels after being busy this morning.
She was very glad that she had signed in several towels through the system, and they all looked like they were purchased wholesale, all uniform white towels without any patterns.
Aunt Yang Liu fanned herself with her straw hat while calling out to Ning Xiyue, "Xiyue, you can go home from work now. Just register with your Uncle Anguo and you can leave."
"Yes, auntie."
Ning Xiyue carried her water bottle and straw hat and went to register before returning to the educated youth point.
Chen Yechu was the one cooking today, so Ning Xiyue didn't have to rush and walked slowly towards the educated youth point.
On the way back, Ning Xiyue found that there was a man and a woman arguing about something at the turning point not far ahead of her. They were very excited and were standing in the direction where she was about to go.
Ning Xiyue, who was a little tired from working hard all morning, suddenly became energetic, with gossipy glint in her eyes. She even walked faster, wanting to get there as soon as possible to see what gossip there was.
I don’t know if the two of them were too engrossed or what, but Ning Xiyue was almost approaching but no one noticed her coming.
In order to avoid embarrassment for the two of them, Ning Xiyue stopped on the other side of the corner. In fact, she wanted to listen to some gossip. Although eavesdropping was not a good idea, she was not eavesdropping. She was standing there listening openly.
Ning Xiyue heard the girl yelling fiercely and trying to pull the boy away:
"Li Jiandang, did you hear me? You are not allowed to help Ning Xiaoxiao with her work, you are not allowed to like her, and you are not allowed to help the new female educated youth named Chen. I like you."
Ning Xiyue who was secretly eating melons: Wow, it actually involves two people in the story, Ning Xiaoxiao and Chen Yechu, big melon, definitely a big melon.
The male comrade named Li Jiandang took a few steps back in frustration, not letting her succeed, and said in annoyance:
"Wu Xiuli, can you please stop pestering me? I've told you several times, don't bother me. I don't like you. Our families don't have a good relationship. Don't bother me either. It's none of your business who I like. I'm leaving. Don't come to me again."
Ning Xiyue was listening with great interest when she heard the boy say he was leaving, and the direction he was going seemed to be the direction she was in.
God, don’t let it be awkward if we meet face to face.
Ning Xiyue quickly looked at her surroundings, and when she saw a haystack not far away, she hurried towards it and almost tripped over a stone on the way.
Finally, before being discovered, he squatted behind the haystack, huddled in with his back to the haystack, and stuck his head out to look at the situation outside.
In a split second, Ning Xiyue felt that she had bumped into something behind the haystack. Just as she was about to turn around to check, she heard a very small cry, so small that it was almost silent, "Ouch, my butt."
Then Ning Xiyue turned her head and met the eyes of a strange girl.
At this time, the man also walked near the haystack. Ning Xiyue and the woman covered each other's mouths at the same time to prevent the other party from making any noise and being discovered.
The two reacted in sync, holding their breath together and observing the situation outside the haystack with nervous expressions.
The man walked straight past the haystack without noticing anything unusual, let alone that there were two people eavesdropping and watching.
The other protagonist, the female comrade, did not notice them either. She stamped her feet, walked forward a few steps angrily, and then turned and walked in another direction.
After the two protagonists of the story left, Ning Xiyue and the female comrades around her let out a sigh of relief at the same time, sat on the ground, and looked at each other.
