Chapter 17 Huo Linyuan Group
Chapter 17 Huo Linyuan Group
Today, the autumn harvest bell officially rings, and people from all over the village begin to race against time to harvest.
The geographical conditions in Yong'an Village are not good, so the main food is rice and sweet potatoes. There is also rice and wheat, but due to water shortage, the growth is not good and the harvest is poor compared to other places.
There are also peanuts, soybeans, sorghum, etc. in the fields, and all of these must be stored in the warehouse when the autumn rain arrives.
This was An Lan's first time participating in the rush to harvest. He watched the team leader with a serious face, gesturing on the paper, as if he was allocating work.
"Lanlan, you look pretty good in this outfit. You finally look like a working girl." Chen Cuijuan glanced at her and commented with a smile.
The woman was seen wearing a loose dark-colored top, Dacron cotton trousers, a straw hat on her head, gloves on her legs, and a pair of loafers on her feet.
An Lan finally looked like he was working.
Unlike before when she always wore brightly colored clothes and leather shoes when working, she looked out of place among them.
When Chen Cuijuan said this, An Lan remembered how embarrassing he was in his previous life and felt very embarrassed.
In fact, she had no choice. She was forcibly sent to the countryside and was in a hurry to pack her luggage.
Everything was not prepared so finely.
However, her mother gave her two hundred yuan before she left, plus the fifty yuan given by the system, a total of two hundred and fifty yuan.
If she doesn't spend it recklessly, it will be enough for her to survive the college entrance examination.
"Yes! Lanlan, you finally look like a human being when you dress like this." Yao Chunjing was also surprised.
"Chun Jing, what are you talking about? You are not human. Are you a ghost?" Lin Zhe's voice sounded at the right time.
"Don't talk nonsense. What I mean is that Lanlan looks like a fairy. Now she looks a little more human in this dress." Yao Chunjing put his hands on his hips, very annoyed.
"You didn't express yourself clearly..."
"You are the one who hates..."
"Okay, be quiet." The captain's serious voice interrupted the noise.
"Now I'm going to start calling the roll."
"Li Si, Zhang San, a group. Cutting rice."
"Chen Jia, Zhang Wei, group one. Digging peanuts."
“…”
The captain recited a lot of words in a row, until "An Lan, Huo Linyuan, group one, harvest rice."
An Lan was shocked. Yes! How could she forget about it? There were eight female educated youths. Now Bai Weiwei went to the cowshed, and she was the only one who came out alone. Wasn't she going to be assigned with the villagers?
But she didn't expect that this person would be Huo Linyuan.
In her previous life, she was assigned to the same group with Bai Weiwei, but she was the only one doing the work. Bai Weiwei either said she felt dizzy or felt weak all over, and she believed it.
As expected, An Lan didn’t want to recall the life of reduced intelligence...
Huo Linyuan was in the crowd, listening to Lin Pao chattering beside him with a frown on his face. Suddenly, he heard the captain assign him and An Lan to a group. Suddenly, a strange light flashed in his dark eyes.
After the captain finished reading, he looked at Huo Linyuan deliberately, and seeing that he had no objection, he felt relieved.
Before, Huo Linyuan always worked alone. In fact, Huo Linyuan worked fast and well, so there was no need to be grouped with others.
The reason why the captain grouped Huo Linyuan and An Lan together was that it was obvious that Huo Linyuan did not dislike this little girl.
놛 also wanted to help the little girl. This An Zhiqing looked delicate and weak, and she definitely couldn't do the work.
Being with Huo Linyuan might help An Zhiqing share some of the burden and help him make the transition.
This educated youth An was also unlucky as the autumn harvest was about to begin not long after he arrived.
"Let's go."
At the captain's shout, everyone scattered like birds.
"Lanlan, you are with Comrade Huo, don't get too close to him." Yao Chunjing looked around and said in a low voice when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side.
"Why?" An Lan looked confused.
"Oh, you don't know. I heard from the villagers that a big wild boar can be killed with one punch. It's so scary."
"It's okay, I'm not a wild boar, they won't hit me." An Lan joked seriously.
"Hate it, I'm serious with you!" Seeing that An Lan didn't believe him, Yao Chunjing stomped his feet in anger.
"Okay, I know. By the way, this is for you, Cuijuan." An Lan stuffed four White Rabbit candies into Yao Chunjing's mouth.
"Ah, what? It's White Rabbit. We can't have it! It's very expensive." Yao Chunjing took it back in shock.
"If you don't accept it, you don't consider me as your friend!" An Lan pretended to be angry, and Yao Chunjing accepted it.
An Lan remembered that in his previous life, during the autumn harvest, Chen Cuijuan fainted, and only after asking her did he realize that she had hypoglycemia.
Now she was no longer with Yao Chunjing and Chen Cuijuan, so she had no choice but to give the candy to them, hoping that what happened in her previous life would not happen again.
After they all left, An Lan discovered that Huo Linyuan was waiting for her under a big tree in the distance, holding two sickles.
An Lan then remembered that she forgot to get the sickle...
"Let's go."
Huo Linyuan saw An Lan finished talking to the other educated youth and walked over.
"Comrade Huo, I forgot to get my sickle. I'll go get it."
"No, use this."
An Lan looked at the sickle in front of her. It was different from the one in the commune. It was very sharp and relatively small, more suitable for ladies.
An Lan took it over. She knew that this sickle must be from Huo Linyuan's family.
The villagers were different from the educated youth. The villagers had their own tools at home, and only our educated youth needed to collect tools.
The tools of the commune were in charge of the village chief's son, who was lazy and greedy, and refused to sharpen his sickle even when it was rusty.
When the educated youth went to get tools, they often got rusty sickles, but there was nothing they could do, because he was the son of the village chief and they could not afford to offend him!
An Lan followed Huo Linyuan to a rice field.
An Lan looked at the endless rice fields and was surprised: "These...are all ours?"
"Yeah." Huo Linyuan jumped into the rice field and prepared to start harvesting.
"This is too much, right? How can we finish it in one day? How about..." An Lan also jumped down to the rice field. As he was complaining, he saw Huo Linyuan had already cut several bundles of rice, so he silently took back his words about looking for the team leader.
An Lan bent down resignedly. So many years had passed, and An Lan had long forgotten how to harvest rice.
After observing Huo Linyuan carefully, she started cutting as well.
Gradually she got on very quickly.
Huo Linyuan looked back at An Lan, and was relieved to see that she was mowing well. He lowered his head and continued to speed up his movements. The speed was so fast, like a streak of arrows. In the blink of an eye, a rice field was mowed.
The reason why Huo Linyuan cut so fast was that he wanted to cut more and the other party would cut less.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise.
"ah!"
"There's a snake!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Linyuan immediately stood up and ran towards An Lan.
I saw a rat snake as big as my arm hovering over the rice, spitting out its tongue in confusion...
It seems to say: Why am I here?
