Director Zhou looked at the group of new educated youth and smiled warmly:
"Children, Beidahuang welcomes you, Hongyang Farm will be your home from now on!
You came at the right time. Do you see this large wheat field in front of you? Our superiors have given us a task. We must harvest all of this wheat field within a week! Why? "
Director Zhou raised his hand and pointed at the gray sky:
"It's God who doesn't want us to be idle! He wants us to stretch our muscles!
What is wheat afraid of the most? Some of you must know, of course some of you don't know, and you haven't even seen what wheat looks like, but it doesn't matter, I tell you, wheat is most afraid of rain.
Once it rains, if the wheat is not harvested in time, it will fall over, sprout, and finally become moldy and black, and all our hard work for the year will be in vain!
The worst thing is that we will have to eat black flour steamed buns for a long time! Are you willing? "
Sheng Kangning was sure that this group of newly arrived educated youth had rarely eaten black-flour steamed buns, but she had eaten them and found them very unpalatable.
It smells musty in there!
But there’s no other way, you have to fill your stomach!
If you don’t eat, you’ll starve!
Sheng Kangning shook his head and said loudly: "I don't want to!"
Director Zhou looked at Sheng Kangning and smiled, "Yes! We don't want to! We don't want to eat black flour buns. If we want to eat, we'll eat fragrant and soft white flour buns. Then we have to fight against the sky and race against time with God!"
While Director Zhou was speaking, a sharp shout suddenly came from behind the new educated youth.
"Hey! Li Youfu! I'm talking about you. What's wrong with you? Can I put my luggage on the ground? It's wet and muddy here!"
Sheng Kangning and others knew it was Zhou Xiaoran without even looking back.
Xu Hongmei glanced back and frowned, "I don't know how a man like Zhou Shen could have such a helpless sister, and she's his biological sister! Do you think they made a mistake? Or maybe the wrong child was taken away when he was born!"
Sheng Kangning raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Otherwise I would have laughed out loud!
Sister Hongmei is so funny!
Seeing Sheng Kangning's smile, Xu Hongmei also smiled and whispered in Sheng Kangning's ear: "I really think so! Haven't you noticed? Zhou Shen and Zhou Xiaoran don't look alike at all! Nose, eyes, mouth, nothing is alike!"
Sheng Kangning coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "You observe very carefully!"
"I'm a scout! I just think it's a shame that Zhou Shen has such a sister!"
Lao Zhang led people to help this group of newly arrived educated youth, and Li Youfu also helped unload the luggage from the carriage. Who would have known that by coincidence, the first luggage Li Youfu picked up was Zhou Xiaoran's.
Zhou Xiaoran shouted.
There was some impatience in Li Youfu's eyes, but he held it back and didn't say anything.
Old Zhang patted Li Youfu on the shoulder, walked over, and carried Zhou Xiaoran's luggage on his shoulder.
Director Zhou said, "Mr. Zhang, move all the luggage for these children to the tents we have prepared for them. Move quickly, don't let them get wet. These luggages contain the cares of their parents at home!
Also, these children got caught in the rain on the way here, so tell the kitchen to hurry up and boil a pot of ginger sugar water for them to drink to warm their bodies and prevent them from catching a cold. Then boil some hot water and let them pack up, change into clean clothes, and rest for a day, so that they can join the rush to harvest tomorrow morning.
Also, don’t forget to notify the tool group to sharpen the sickles as soon as possible, and then give them to the new kids so that they can take time to practice and find someone to teach them. Otherwise, they will cut their hands before they can harvest the wheat, which would be a joke! ”
Lao Zhang also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Director!"
After Director Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiaoran, still smiling, without any impatience, and said with a smile:
"Young comrade, you are obviously from a big city. Beidahuang welcomes you! Don't worry, Lao Zhang will make arrangements for you! You just arrived, so you should be allowed to rest for a few days and start working next Monday. However,
As you can see, the situation is different now and we have to race against time!
It's about our food problem for the next year!
Food is the most important thing for people, this is a big deal!
So you don’t have much time to rest and adjust. It’s called a day, but in fact you can only rest for half a day. Starting at noon, you will be assigned to the kitchen to help with chores. All the young and strong laborers in the kitchen have been transferred to the wheat fields to participate in the rush to harvest. There is no one to cook. No way! You have to go! Do you have confidence! "
When they heard that they were going to help in the kitchen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a good job!
It’s better than being sent to the field as soon as you arrive!
Everyone smiled and said, "We have confidence!"
Director Zhou smiled and said, "That's right! Okay, follow Lao Zhang and go take a rest first!"
After saying that, Director Zhou turned around and walked towards the wheat field.
The new group of educated youth followed Lao Zhang and walked towards the tent.
Only Zhou Xiaoran didn't catch up.
Xu Hongmei pulled Sheng Kangning and said, "She went to see the director. What do you think she wants to do?"
Sheng Kangning smiled and shook his head: "Who knows! Anyway, it will not work if we don't participate in the rush to harvest!"
Don’t be fooled by Director Zhou’s smiling face and seemingly peaceful personality, but if you violate the discipline or something, just wait and see!
Being scolded is the lightest punishment.
Director Zhou has always convinced people with reason!
However, if anyone is stubborn, they can give it a try!
Zhou Xiaoran ran up to Director Zhou and looked at him timidly at first, then asked in a soft and negotiating tone:
"Manager, I can't even tell what wheat looks like, and I've never seen a sickle before, so I won't go to the fields anymore! I'm afraid I'll accidentally hurt someone again!"
Everyone saw what happened on Zhou Xiaoran's side.
At first, the female educated youth stopped and wanted to listen to what Zhou Xiaoran had to say. Soon, the male educated youth also stopped.
To be honest, the female educated youth were all scared when they looked at the endless wheat fields!
Director Zhou glanced at Zhou Xiaoran, then looked at the group of new educated youths, with a smile on his face and a calm attitude, which had not changed at all:
"Do you think so too?"
The male educated youth shook their heads. One of them turned around and followed Lao Zhang to help carry the luggage. The other male educated youth also followed. Xu Hongmei held Sheng Kangning's hand and walked behind the male educated youth.
I saw Xu Hongmei and Sheng Kangning both left.
Among the remaining dozen or so female educated youth, a few more followed.
Finally, there were six female educated youth left.
Director Zhou laughed and said:
"I know most of you came here from big cities. It's impossible for you to accept this place in just a day or two. However, I am sure that as long as we are diligent and can endure hardships, we will have a house and everything we want! Children, you must believe in yourselves!"
