After dinner in the evening, everyone returned to the tent exhausted, washed up quickly, and climbed into their bunks.
Sheng Kangning lay in the soft bedding, breathing heavily in comfort.
Xu Hongmei leaned forward and said, "Kang Ning, I'll call you tomorrow morning!"
Sheng Kangning closed his eyes and said, "Okay!"
Soon, everyone fell asleep.
The next day, Sheng Kangning was woken up by Xu Hongmei: "Sister Hongmei, what time is it?"
"Three o'clock!"
"It's only three o'clock!" After saying that, Sheng Kangning subconsciously lay back and continued to sleep for a while.
The manager said we had to get up at 3:30, gather at 3:50, and start harvesting the wheat at 4:00.
It’s only three o’clock, I can still sleep for another half an hour.
Xu Hongmei grabbed Sheng Kangning and said in a low voice, "Do you know what time we can have dinner?"
"Six?"
"What are you dreaming about? The canteen starts delivering food at 6 o'clock, and it will be at least 6:30 by the time it arrives at the field. It will probably be 7 o'clock by the time we get the food. Wheat harvesting is hard work, especially at this time. So, hurry up and eat something first! Otherwise, you won't be able to work!"
While they were talking, Xu Hongmei had already gotten up and put on her clothes.
Sheng Kangning pinched his brows and forced himself to get up from the bed with difficulty. Everyone else in the tent was quiet.
After Xu Hongmei got dressed, she went to call Wang Juan.
The first thing Wang Juan did when she opened her eyes was to get up from the bed. While getting dressed, she asked, "Is it already half past three?"
Xu Hongmei: "No, it's a few minutes past three now, let's get up and eat something first!"
Wang Juan continued to walk at a fast pace, smiling and saying to Xu Hongmei: "You are right! How can I work without eating something?"
After saying this, he called up Ma Chunmei and Zhang Xiuying one after another.
When Wu Xiaohui and the others were called, the person was awake.
But when I heard it was still early, less than 3:30, I just couldn't get up.
Only when the charge sounded at Hongyang Farm did Zhou Xiaoran and the others get out of bed.
Sheng Kangning and his group were already dressed and even took the time to eat a sesame pancake.
Sheng Kangning slung the kettle across his body and brought two sesame cakes just in case.
In the Great Northern Wilderness, there is a jingle during the rush to harvest.
'Three thirty in the morning, three meals in the field, no sight at night!'
What's the meaning?
We start working at 3:30 in the morning and work until 8:30 in the evening. We only stop working when it is completely dark.
This kind of high-intensity harvesting cannot be done without food in the stomach.
Everyone gather in front of the cafeteria.
The slogans of fighting against heaven and earth have been shouted, and some people are beating drums.
"Work hard in light rain and work hard in heavy rain! We swear to take back the fruits of the harvest!"
"Man can conquer nature, and we can take food from the dragon's mouth!"
"We will not leave the front line until the wheat harvest is completed!"
As soon as these slogans were shouted, everyone's blood boiled!
When Sheng Kangning and his group walked to the cafeteria, it was already noisy. There were not many people who were fully armed like Sheng Kangning and his group. A few people were wearing raincoats, and most people didn't even wear raincoats.
Wear a straw hat, or even be too lazy to wear a straw hat.
Soon, they were divided into a team. After Guo Weiguo, holding a loudspeaker, once again emphasized everyone's tasks, the team began to move forward.
No one could see clearly who was leading the group, but they were already following the group involuntarily.
I also heard that Director Zhou and the Youth Protection Team had entered the fields before three o'clock. They were the vanguard and were the first to go.
When they arrived at the field, everyone rushed in with sickles in hand, and Sheng Kangning followed closely behind Xu Hongmei.
When they were about to enter the field, Sheng Kangning saw Mrs. Qin in front of him.
Deputy Director Guo Weiguo walked in front with big strides, and Mrs. Qin followed her husband like a young wife, and behind her was her eldest daughter Guo Yunfang.
When he was only ten years old, he also went to the fields to harvest wheat.
The task of female educated youth like Sheng Kangning was not to harvest wheat, but to follow the people who were harvesting wheat.
After they finished harvesting, the female educated youth including Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei quickly picked up the wheat, otherwise the wheat would sprout soon if it stayed in the water for too long.
However, Sheng Kangning and his colleagues' task was not easy. Large wooden boards were prepared in each field, and the female educated youth piled all the wheat on the large wooden boards.
Wait until the wheat is almost piled up on the big wooden board.
Then pull the large wooden board to the side.
The tractor couldn't enter the field and had to be parked on the road.
In order to prevent the tractor from getting stuck in the mud, a lot of wooden boards were filled on the road.
Tractors transported food back and forth.
Several large tents had already been set up at the field office to store the wheat.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with almost no sign of stopping.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei have always been together.
It was almost seven o'clock when the canteen delivered the food to them. It was a simple breakfast.
Steamed buns, pickles and a big bowl of porridge.
Before coming, we were asked to bring our own lunch boxes, bowls, etc. When we heard the people in the cafeteria shouting "eat, eat", everyone rushed over with lunch boxes and bowls. We worked for several hours and were all starving.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei had a few bites of food in the morning, and now they are fine and not too hungry!
After most people had gotten their meals, Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei came forward, holding a steamed bun in one hand and porridge in the other, and were about to find a place to start eating.
"Corning! Over here! Come here!"
A voice came from the side, it was Zhou Shen's.
Sheng Kangning and Xu Hongmei walked over and saw Chu Nanzhou sitting on the ridge, eating a steamed bun in his hand.
Seeing Sheng Kangning and the others coming over, Chu Nanzhou waved.
Xu Hongmei gently pushed the person towards Chu Nanzhou.
Sheng Kangning stood in front of Chu Nanzhou.
The man's eyes were as black as ink, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised and extending upwards, making him look extremely noble. At this moment, he was sitting on a ridge, his body and face covered in rain, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and his demeanor remained unchanged.
Sheng Kangning stared at it in a daze.
Chu Nanzhou looked up at her and smiled, "Why are you standing there? Come here! Sit down and I'll discuss something with you!"
Sheng Kangning saw a tarpaulin spread on the ridge. Although it was completely wet, it was clean and there was no mud or water on it!
Sheng Kangning sat over there.
Chu Nanzhou: "Are you tired?"
Sheng Kangning shook his head: "Not tired!"
His body was tired, but his heart was not. As long as he thought about being able to get rid of Sheng Hongqi's family in this life, Sheng Kangning felt happy.
"Kang Ning, the medicine packs you made are very effective. Would you like to make more?"
Sheng Kangning understood as soon as he heard it.
Nodding: "Brother Chu, this is a good thing. Of course I am willing to do it. However, we don't have that many tools. The medicine packs we can make at one time are limited. We can't supply the entire field in a short time."
"Then let's do it for the vanguard team first. I know that it is difficult to go out to collect herbs in this kind of weather. If you have any ideas or requests, you can raise them."
