The water delivery cart requires one person to pull it in front with a hemp rope on his shoulder.
Someone is needed to push hard from behind.
Usually, people are sent from the kitchen to deliver water, or half of the people are drawn from the Youth Guard to take turns delivering water.
We are all men, so two people are enough on one cart.
One pulls in front and the other pushes from behind.
Female educated youth including Sheng Kangning were assigned to deliver water. There were three people on a cart, with the male pulling in the front and two female educated youth pushing in the back.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei worked together, one on the left and one on the right, pushing the cart forward carefully.
You won’t know until you go down to the fields.
Why did Brother Chu give them such long water socks?
Forget about ordinary shoes, they sank directly into the mud, and the socks and shoes inside became completely wet. Coupled with the mud and water, they quickly became heavy and it was extremely difficult to lift your feet.
Even ordinary waders are useless, as they will only fill up with more mud and water, making them worse than rubber shoes.
Zhou Xiaoran, Wu Xiaohui and the others didn't understand and just wore ordinary water boots.
Even tying long wooden boards to the soles of shoes was of no use.
At this time, I was walking in the mud, one step deep and one step shallow. I regretted it very much. My entire waders were full of mud and water. They were terribly heavy, and I still had to push the cart.
Wu Xiaohui and Wang Juan are in the same group.
"Wang Juan, I can't push it anymore!" Wu Xiaohui is petite and her slender arms can't exert any strength at all.
Wang Juan frowned and said, "Can you hold on a little longer? We're almost at the field!"
Wu Xiaohui didn't say anything, just kept crying.
Wang Juan: "Forget it, just find a place to rest! I'll do the pushing!"
The man in front frowned and said, "Keep working hard, we'll be there soon! When we get there, sit on the cart and rest for a while. Wang Juan and I will go deliver water."
This is already considered taking care of Wu Xiaohui.
The people in the fields are still busy harvesting wheat. Who wouldn't be tired?
In addition to a large water jar, there were also several large kettles made of tin sheets on the cart.
When they arrived at the place, Sheng Kangning and his two companions, each carrying a large kettle, went into the field and began delivering water to people.
The large kettle made of tinplate is not small, and can hold about the same amount of water as an ordinary bucket. During the delivery process, the kettle cannot be placed on the ground. If placed on the ground, it will sink by one-third, and it will be very difficult to lift it up again.
Before Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei left, an experienced male comrade reminded them that they should not put the large kettle on the ground if possible.
Sheng Kangning had to switch from his left hand to his right hand and carry it all the way.
The people who were rushing to harvest wheat in the fields were also scattered, with each person responsible for two fields. They would move to another place when they finished their work. It was the first time for Sheng Kangning and other newly arrived educated youth to go to the fields.
It was difficult to just find people, let alone in such a muddy place.
The people working were all sweating profusely. When they saw Sheng Kangning and the others delivering water, they started shouting loudly.
Soon, the pot of water was delivered and Sheng Kangning walked back carrying the empty pot.
After filling a pot of water, go back to deliver the water.
There are still many people in front who haven’t had any water yet!
Zhou Shen slapped at least ten mosquitoes to death. His hands were covered in blood. Zhou Shen couldn't help but look at the man who was cutting wheat next to him.
At this time, Chu Nanzhou was only wearing a straw hat on his head, without a raincoat. He was soaked all over. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his smooth arms, full of explosive power!
Although his arms were covered in mud and water, Zhou Shen could see clearly that there was not even a mosquito on the exposed part of the boss's arm.
Zhou Shen looked down at himself again. Mosquitoes were almost crawling all over his forearm. He frowned, raised his hand, and slapped them, killing a large number of them.
More mosquitoes flew over.
The buzzing sound is irritating.
"Boss, what's going on? Why do mosquitoes always come after me and not you? Any explanation?"
Chu Nanzhou didn't even raise his head:
"It means your blood is fragrant and sweet! Delicious!"
"Get lost! This is perverse logic! Look at how ferocious these mosquitoes are. They don't even care whether something smells good or sweet. As long as there is a human, their first reaction is to pounce on them!
Boss, tell me the truth, are you wearing anything?
When you first came here, you got bit by a mosquito on your neck. Don’t think I didn’t see it! "
Chu Nanzhou laughed softly:
"Okay, you have good observation skills. I actually wore something! This is the mosquito repellent kit that Corning gave me. Don't say I won't give it to you. Corning gave me two kits, one for Xiaobao and one for me!"
Now, Zhou Shen was speechless.
I was thinking about going back to find Sheng Kangning and asking him to get a medicine bag to wear on his body. These mosquitoes are so ferocious and they don’t treat people as human beings at all!
It was rare to see Zhou Shen silent, Chu Nanzhou tilted his head and glanced at him:
"How about I put it on you?"
Zhou Shen: "Forget it, I don't dare to take what your sweetheart gave you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shen’s elongated poker face smiled: “Whoever I say comes! Corning! Over here! Over here!”
Chu Nanzhou also followed Zhou Shen's gaze and saw Sheng Kangning, who was walking towards him with a huge kettle in his hand.
Go slowly but steadily!
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhou put the sickle in his hand on the pile of harvested wheat and said to Zhou Shen beside him: "Give me the kettle!"
Zhou Shen quickly handed the military water bottle hanging around his neck to Chu Nanzhou.
Chu Nanzhou walked up to Sheng Kangning in a few steps, reached out to take the big kettle in Sheng Kangning's hand, lowered his head to look at Sheng Kangning, and saw this girl, her head and face were wrapped in a gauze scarf of unidentifiable color. Fortunately, the scarf was thin and transparent, so the person's face could be seen clearly, and her face was covered with sweat!
The men's raincoat seemed too big and didn't fit him well. It was only long enough to reach Sheng Kangning's calf, but it could keep him out of the rain.
He seemed to be in good spirits, but there was a red mark on the palm of his hand from holding the kettle.
Chu Nanzhou weighed the kettle and found it was quite heavy.
Chu Nanzhou looked around and there was really no place for people to rest.
"Your lips look a little dry, drink some water first!" Chu Nanzhou said.
Sheng Kangning nodded almost subconsciously.
She delivers water.
But this time, all the work was physical work, and he sweated a lot. The little food in his stomach had been consumed. Now Sheng Kangning was tired, hungry and thirsty!
But she is the water delivery girl!
She had to take care of others first. This was the first time someone asked her if she was thirsty.
Chu Nanzhou is a man after all, and he is very strong. He holds the large kettle in one hand and unscrews the spout of the military kettle with the other hand.
Zhou Shen also came over at this time.
When they first met, Sheng Kangning didn't recognize him.
Not only was his face covered in mud, but there were also red patches here and there, all caused by mosquito bites.
Sheng Kangning felt a little guilty. It's not that he had thought about giving one to Zhou Shen, but he was worried that Zhou Shen would feel sorry for his sister and give the medicine bag to Zhou Xiaoran. How to say it, Sheng Kangning really didn't like Zhou Xiaoran.
I don't like it at all.
Along the way, Zhou Xiaoran conveyed only malice to Sheng Kangning.
