The next morning, Yi Qingqing, who was attending a class in the college entrance examination skills teaching mode, heard a whistle coming from outside. She glanced at the wall clock in the classroom and it was only five minutes past six.

The whistle today seemed to blow much earlier than usual. Usually it would blow around 6:40 or 6:50, or close to 7:00.

Yi Qingqing said something to the teachers and left the college entrance examination skills teaching mode.

Get up, get dressed, make the bed, and then boil water to wash up.

I went out to fetch water several times and filled up the water tank that was emptied yesterday.

I had instant noodles for breakfast, with the bowl of stewed chicken with mushrooms that I brought back yesterday as topping. After I was full, I put on my straw hat and carried a kettle to go to work.

Before Yi Qingqing and her friends reached the gathering place, they saw from afar a large red banner hanging on the side wall of the granary next to the threshing ground, with the words "Urgent mobilization to fight the battle of autumn production" written on it. Next to it was a straw hut that had been built at some unknown time.

Uncle Youtian stood on the ridge beside the shed in high spirits, holding a small red flag in his hand and a whistle in his mouth. Next to him stood the village chief and a somewhat unfamiliar person.

Section 86

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Who are those people? Why have I never seen them before?" Qian Lailai asked.

Tang Lan, who has experience in autumn harvest, said: "Those are the cadres from the commune who come to organize and mobilize the autumn harvest. They come to talk every year during the autumn harvest."

"..." Yi Qingqing and the others understood that just talking meant they didn't have to do any work and were just there to give orders and inspect.

"This job is so comfortable!" Li Mengxue said enviously. Compared with them, the teachers in the village primary school are nothing. Not to mention the teachers, even the children in the school have to help in the fields during the autumn harvest!

I don’t know when the commune will recruit workers. Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to get a job there than now?

With Li Mengxue here, the golden book is like an all-round surveillance camera. Yi Qingqing has become accustomed to multitasking and would take a look at it every once in a while.

Li Mengxue's idea was good and it was indeed comfortable, but in the commune, there was only one position for each person and the positions had already been filled.

When Yi Qingqing first came, she was also thinking about switching to a lighter job.

But now she doesn't think so.

For her who has great power to nourish the skin and calm the mind, the most suitable job is to work in the fields.

It allows you to integrate into the crowd, is not too tiring, and can also be a good way to exercise your body.

The key is that it is hard work, there is no trouble, and it does not require any mental effort. The aunts in the group also take good care of her, and she can listen to their gossip, which is pretty good.

Soon the villagers arrived one after another.

Captain Uncle Arita blew a whistle and the crowd gradually quieted down.

"Each team should take a head count!"

"Team 1 is here!"

"Team 2 is here!"

…

"Team 8 is here!"

Zhao Youtian coughed and said, "Okay, I won't say much. We have worked hard for a year, and the final results will depend on these few days. No matter how hard or tired we are, we must grit our teeth and not leave a single grain of food on the ground.

If we fight well in the three autumn production battles, we will also have a bumper year!

Now let me tell you about the work arrangements!

This time it is the same, divided into autumn harvest group and autumn planting group.

All the female educated youth, members over 45 years old, and children were assigned to the Autumn Harvest Group, and I served as the temporary group leader.

The male members of the autumn harvest team who are between 45 and 60 years old are responsible for picking grain, while the others are responsible for harvesting, packing and drying it.

The village chief serves as the temporary leader of the autumn planting group, which is divided into three groups: manure transportation, autumn plowing and sowing. The male members are responsible for manure transportation and autumn plowing, while the female members are responsible for sowing.

Now everyone, stand in your respective groups. The autumn harvest group stands over here, and the autumn planting group stands over there. "

Aunt Guihua pulled Yi Qingqing to the autumn harvest group, and everyone still stood in their original teams.

In fact, each team originally had people of all ages, so even after being divided into two groups, the number of people in each team was still about the same.

The autumn planting group has more heavy physical work to do, and the strong laborers are all there, but there are fewer people there, and their main job is to plant winter wheat.

The autumn harvest team has a lot of work to do, so there are many people involved.

The commune cadre just stood there watching the team leader assign tasks and didn't do anything else.

"Finally, during the autumn harvest, the team's canteen will be open to provide lunch, saving everyone the time of going home to cook. Everyone will vote to elect four people to be in charge of the canteen during this period. The voting will be presided over by Secretary Chen from our commune."

Secretary Chen was holding a box of chalk in his hand and counting the votes on the wall of the granary.

The villagers all turned their backs and were not allowed to look back. Then they went there one by one and told the official who they wanted to vote for.

Yi Qingqing lowered her head. Why were they eating from a big pot?

You can imagine how delicious a big pot meal can be. It can never compare to cooking your own meal!

Fortunately, there is only one meal at noon, so I can still eat something delicious in the morning and evening.

"Why are you so dejected?" Aunt Guihua looked at her drooping face and said with a smile, "I think you will be selected this time."

"What?" Yi Qingqing suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"I said, there is a high possibility that you will be chosen to cook, which is more comfortable than working in the fields," Aunt Guihua repeated.

Yi Qingqing didn't quite understand: "How can I get such a popular job?"

Of course she knew that cooking was easier than working in the fields. At least she didn't have to work in the fields under the scorching sun.

This is of secondary importance to the villagers. In this era, few people are afraid of hard work and fatigue, but being able to cook for the fellow villagers and get a bite to eat is a very lucrative job.

How could she, a newly arrived educated youth, have such ability?

Moreover, she had no idea that the Autumn Harvest Team had a canteen, and she had never thought about it because she didn't want a bite of food.

"The loach that Tiger Boy brought back yesterday was really delicious. I want to learn how to cook it from you! The kids are showing off everywhere, and the news has spread throughout the team. You are so generous to the kids, you will definitely not be greedy for everyone's food. And you are a good cook, who doesn't want to eat something good? Unless someone in your family wants to run for election, I guess many people will choose you. But don't be afraid, with your aunt's popularity, I will definitely be one of the cooks in this team."

Aunt Guihua said with confidence.
