Chapter 497: Unable to Visit Relatives 2

The Wanglou Brigade was indeed very busy. All the children who went to school returned home to participate in the labor, including Lu Tianjun.

This kid usually keeps a low profile. I don't know how he communicated with his teachers and classmates this year. He actually brought back a large group of teachers and classmates with urban household registration to help with the harvest. Wanglou Team 7 only needs to provide them with food and accommodation.

Of course, what Lu Tianjun brought back would first help Team 7 where his family was.

Younger children like Song Gang had to pick up wheat ears, let alone the wind and snow.

Last year, she had a reason not to go to work because she was in confinement after giving birth. This year, Xibao is over one year old and can be looked after by older children. So Feng Qingxue had no reason not to go to work. They were preparing to go to work together. Wang Zhengguo arranged for her and several women who were not good at work but were good at housework, including Wang Jiao, to cook for the teachers and students who came to help.

The food was provided by the Wanglou Brigade, because after the seventh team finished their work, they would work for other production teams, so no production team would suffer any loss.

As for accommodation, it was simple. The weather was hot, and many villagers slept on the floor outside. There was a large open space in front of the production brigade secretary's office, where the villagers laid straw mats woven by themselves, separating men and women. When the weather was bad, they would move into the office.

The busy farming season is the rare time of the year when people can have a good meal, but Wang Zhengguo gave them food without hesitation.

People were arranged to take raw grain to the city and exchange it for finished grain. They would prepare multi-grain pancakes, sweet potato and brown rice porridge, or corn grits porridge and vegetable steamed bread, accompanied by various vegetables and pickles sent by fellow villagers. They would have three meals a day to ensure that the teachers and students who came to help were well fed and watered.

They could not get enough to eat with the food rations in the city, so now they worked very hard to have a full meal.

Although they worked slowly and poorly at first, they were smart, and they all got the hang of it in two days.

The young man is nimble, but he just can't keep up with the old farmers.

But it is enough to reduce the workload of the folks.

Not only that, Lu Tianjun's class teacher, Mr. Wang, asked Lu Tianjun to go back to school, take his letter to the principal, and gathered hundreds of male and female students to participate in the labor, under the pretext of learning the farmers' spirit of hard work and perseverance.

In the past, the busy farming season in Wanglou Brigade took more than a month, but this year it was completed in more than half a month.

The grain was stored in the warehouse, and the rice, corn and summer sweet potatoes were planted in the fields. Both sides were very happy and it was a win-win situation.

The villagers were grateful for the help from the teachers and students from the towns, and the teachers and students from the towns said that the country people were honest, and they made sure they had enough meals every day, and when they left, they kept giving them lots of fresh vegetables to take back. So the latter said they would come back to join the labor during the autumn harvest, and Wang Zhengguo agreed immediately, as he thought of the 2,000 acres of land that he had extra this year.

After everyone left, Feng Qingxue quietly gave Wang Zhengguo a thumbs up.

Of course, the smartest one is Tianjun in their family.

Wang Zhengguo pretended not to see it and said with a stern face: "Go back quickly, I think the clouds are a bit thick, I'm afraid it's going to rain." There is no need to worry about rain, they have already dried all the grain and stored it. This rain is just right to irrigate the crops that have just been planted, and there will be a good harvest in the fall. As for the situation of other production brigades, he has no control over that.

Feng Qingxue remembered that today was Saturday, and Chen Xuenniang would come over to help every Saturday afternoon after get off work. So she left Xi Bao to the care of Lu Tianjun and the others, and put on a bamboo hat, took two sets of raincoats and a bamboo hat and went to the intersection.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
