After hearing what he said, the two stopped arguing and started harvesting honestly.
I just didn't expect that there were so many injured people in the car team.
Except for Li Xu and Su Weidong, everyone else was injured to varying degrees...
During the lunch break, everyone sat together, eating and laughing at each other.
After eating, everyone lit a cigarette to relieve their fatigue.
Master Qi took two deep puffs and then sighed, "I haven't done farm work in so many years, it's really hard to bear the sudden work."
"It's all the same. I can hardly stand up straight now."
"I'm pretty much the same."
Driving a car all year round is extremely harmful to the waist, and the same is true for doing farm work. After just working for a morning, the old hands can't stand it anymore.
At this time, Liu Gang said with a smile, "It's only been half a day and you are like this, what are you going to do next?"
Master Song groaned, "That's because you're young. Wait until you're our age before you try again."
"Hey, Old Song, aren't you unwilling to admit your age? What's wrong with you today?"
"You can't deny it. After all, you grow older with each passing year." Then Master Song sighed, put the cigarette in his mouth and started to smoke.
An old master joked, "It's okay, just hold on a little longer, and I'll let my sister-in-law give you a massage when I get home tonight."
Hearing this, Li Xu suddenly remembered something, "By the way, when are we going back?"
Everyone was stunned, and then cursed, "Md, forgot to ask that bastard Shen Yuan."
"I was so busy scolding them this morning that I forgot about this."
You have to know that farmers at this time may be busy until very late, so they naturally cannot do that.
They were also afraid that they were leaving at the wrong time, as it would be troublesome if someone from above came to investigate.
Not only will you not get any subsidies, you might even be criticized.
Master Qi quickly stood up and looked around. "Let me see if anyone else is here. If so, let me ask them if they know."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stood up and wanted to look for other people from the supply and marketing cooperative.
After looking for a while, no one saw them, and then Liu Gang said, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xiao, ask the captain about their location, and then go find them."
Li Xu and Xiao Jianping responded and then walked away.
They first asked the locals about the team leader's location, and then asked the team leader about the location of other people in the supply and marketing cooperative.
After a lot of effort, I finally got to the place and saw several people lying on the edge of the field, humming non-stop.
Li Xu looked around and found that he didn't recognize any of them, but he felt that they looked familiar, so he asked, "Hello, what time do we have to work until we can go home?"
Hearing the voice, several people looked up at the two people at the same time, and then showed surprised expressions, "Hey, isn't this Xiao Li from the car team? Do you know what time you will be back?"
Unexpectedly, they recognized him. Li Xu quickly took out a cigarette and handed one to each of them. Then, with an embarrassed expression, he said, "We forgot to ask. We went to great lengths to find you just to ask this."
Several people took the cigarettes and their attitudes became much better. One person replied, "Leave at 4:30 in the afternoon. Don't leave early, otherwise it will be troublesome if you are found out."
After getting the answer, Li Xu and Xiao Jianping hurriedly expressed their gratitude before saying goodbye and leaving.
Arriving at the work area, he found Liu Gang and his men already harvesting rice in the fields. Li Xu picked up his sickle and walked over to them. While working, he shouted, "I've made it clear that we can leave at 4:30 pm."
"I understand." Everyone responded.
Then everyone worked hard again until half past four.
After packing up their things, they found the team leader and handed over the sickles in their hands.
He placed the sickle at his feet, and then the team leader asked expectantly, "Are you coming tomorrow?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then Master Qi replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come over."
He couldn't make any guarantees, after all, no one knew whether there would be a transportation mission tomorrow.
Even so, the team leader was very happy. He cheered repeatedly, "Okay, okay, if you come here tomorrow, you can come to this place to find me again."
Everyone responded and then said goodbye and left.
After walking for a while, I heard shouting behind me.
Turning his head to see who was coming, Li Xu began to say, "They are from the supply and marketing cooperative. Noon is the time to ask them."
Everyone nodded and stood there waiting for them to come over.
When they walked up to them, Li Xu and others were shocked.
Nothing else, these people were basically pale, and they were still gasping for breath, looking like they were about to die at any moment.
Li Xu asked quickly, "What's going on with you guys? Why do you look so grim?"
One person weakly responded, "Don't mention it. We almost died there. This job is not for humans."
Master Song asked in disbelief, "It's too bad, it's only been one day and you're already like this?"
Hearing this, the eyes of those people all became red, as if they had felt extremely wronged. "We have rarely done farm work before, and we have been working in the sun all day. Who can stand it?"
"Ah?" Everyone in the car team exclaimed, "Is this true?"
"Really? We're all city dwellers, and we haven't done it many times."
Li Xu et al: ...
Good job.
What were Shen Yuan and the others thinking by letting this kind of person come over?
After a moment of silence, Liu Gang asked, "When Shen Yuan chose you, didn't you tell him about this?"
"He did, but he said we were in the best physical condition, so that's why he let us do it. He also said harvesting crops is relatively simple and we only need to learn a little bit."
Li Xu and others were completely speechless.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with Shen Yuan selecting people based on their physical condition.
But he ignored the hardships of farm work.
People like this who have only done farm work a few times would really not be able to bear working under the scorching sun for a whole day.
So Master Qi patted one of them on the shoulder and encouraged him kindly, "Keep going. This is only the first day, and there are still many days to come."
Unexpectedly, the person whose shoulder he patted collapsed to the ground, muttering to himself.
This scared everyone, and Master Qi quickly helped him up, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"When I think about the several days left, my legs feel weak. Please support me a little." As he spoke, the man started to cry.
To be honest, this scene was a little hard for Li Xu to accept, so he could only turn his head away and stop looking at him.
Liu Gang and the others also felt a little bit of pain in their teeth, so they had to persuade him, "Brother, stop crying. If a grown man cries at every turn, it will make people laugh at him."
After hearing the persuasion, the man cried even harder.
What's even worse is that the people who were with him shed tears...
