"You're going too?" Li Qing stared and yelled, "Feng Xiaowu, you're stupid for not taking advantage of such a good opportunity."

"Don't call me Feng Xiaowu in front of outsiders, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you face." Feng Anchen raised his narrow phoenix eyes and threatened in a deep voice.

After saying this, without waiting for Li Qing to speak, he took big strides and walked towards the wheat field.

Li Qing was stunned, staring at Feng Anchen's leg. Looking carefully, he found it a little different from usual. He still admired Feng Anchen a little in his heart, so he hurriedly followed him.

The sun set quickly.

However, because it was summer, the sky was still white. Everyone bundled the harvested wheat and sent it to the threshing ground of the brigade headquarters using ox carts and the only tractor.

The area here is very large, the terrain is flat, and it is well ventilated. There are stacks of wheat on the side.

There are people guarding here and drying them. The dried wheat straw is ground into grains using stone rollers pulled by old oxen, and then experienced masters start winnowing.

This requires effort and dexterity.

A wooden shovel was used, and as the shovel was shoveled down, the wheat grains scattered on the open space not far away, and soon formed a mountain of grain.

If you look closely, from harvesting to storage, it can be regarded as an assembly line operation. It's just that the people in the village don't understand. They only know to get the grain into the warehouse quickly so that it won't be soaked in the fields by the rain. That's God's blessing.

Mr. Shen didn't want Feng Anchen to continue working, after all, the child was injured.

Moreover, his and Li Qing's work points were calculated separately. The Feng family had already given the brigade the subsidies it should have given, ensuring that they would not take advantage of the members even a grain of food.

Coming here is just to temper the temper of this little bully.

But seeing Feng Anchen's tense face and serious expression, she just let him go.

However, he was assigned the task of transporting wheat by ox cart.

Anchen likes this live seal.

Within half a month of coming here, he learned how to drive an ox cart. However, the old ox and the ox cart were collective property and were served by special people, so he could not touch them.

Now, I got what I wanted unexpectedly, and my face, which had been gloomy for the whole afternoon, finally brightened up.

Shen Mingxi and several other teenagers finally completed their task before others returned home.

Everyone was too tired to talk.

The same is true for Shen Mingxi. She works on a single breath. Once she relaxes, she is just like everyone else. Once she sits down, she cannot get up.

Dragging his tired body towards home, Shen Jiawen caught up with him and walked with his sister.

Along the way, everyone was thinking about their own things and didn't speak.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Shen Mingxi stopped.

Because Shen Jiawen held her back, with worry in his eyes, "Xiaoxi, go back to the house and don't come out. I'm going to feed the pigs and chop vegetables..."

Shen Mingxi looked towards the yard. The gate was not far from the main house, and he saw Shen Baozhi leaning on the windowsill at a glance.

Shen Baozhi is very beautiful.

She was wearing a blue and white plaid round-neck short-sleeved shirt and a skirt of the same color. Her jet-black hair was tied behind her head in a ponytail that was very popular among city dwellers nowadays.

She had a fair and tender oval face, curved eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. At this moment, she was waving a fan and looking down at her with a smile on her face.

She was too familiar with this look.

It was as if she was an ant that she could trample on and control effortlessly in her hands.

Shen Mingxi suddenly remembered that Shen Baozhi seemed to have had this kind of look in his eyes ever since he could remember.

At that time, she was probably just a little kid.

A strange feeling arose in Shen Mingxi's heart.

Shen Mingxi was not jealous of everything she had now. If one looked at the surface, Shen Baozhi was indeed the lucky star of the Shen family. Whenever she went out to do something, such as fishing, she only had to stand on the shore and give orders, ensuring that every fish she caught was big and plump.

Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be sold for money.

There are also two hens in the house. No matter winter or summer, they lay two eggs every day without interruption.

The cherry trees and sand pear trees in my house are the largest and most fruit-bearing ones in the area.

Whenever there is a lottery in Kaoshantun, as long as Shen Baozhi is brought along, Old Lady Shen’s wishes will surely come true.

Even when she was coming back from school, she would still encounter hares and pheasants knocked unconscious on the roadside...

She also heard Goudan whisper to her that Shen Baozhi had picked up two gold bracelets and a dozen Yuan Datou coins, all of which were kept by Old Lady Shen.

I also heard that my second uncle will soon become the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Not to mention my younger aunt, who was also the only daughter of Old Mrs. Shen and married to the county town because of Shen Baozhi.

No wonder Old Lady Shen treated her as the apple of her eye.

She did not look away and continued to look at Shen Baozhi seriously.

Shen Baozhi didn't care about Shen Mingxi's gaze at all. She waved her fan and greeted with a smile, "Sister, you're back from work. Are you tired?"

Then she smiled sweetly, "I'm asking unnecessary questions. How can you not be tired? Let's go into the yard quickly and find a cool place to have a good rest. I heard that we have to work at night starting tomorrow..."

Shen Mingxi pursed her lips. Shen Baozhi was always smiling in front of her, and no one could find any fault with her.

But she knew that this woman was cruel.

Shen Jiawen pulled his sister and pushed open the one-meter-high wooden door.

In the 1970s, there were very few high-walled courtyards in rural areas, let alone double-door gates. A courtyard was enclosed by a one-meter-high wicker fence and two mud walls with a wooden door in the middle.

As he got closer, Shen Mingxi saw Shen Baozhi eating roasted wheat ears.

The freshly harvested wheat ears taste delicious and sweet when roasted, and the kernels become more fragrant the more you chew them. However, you have to rub the kernels off, otherwise your hands will get blackened.

However, next to Shen Baozhi was a small bowl filled with crystal clear wheat kernels, which had obviously been peeled.

Her hands were very clean, without a trace of wheat ash. At this moment, she was eating with a small spoon, carelessly, and seemed to have no interest.

Goudan and Yaya squatted under the wall in the yard, staring at Sister Baozhi from their second uncle's family. Goudan had a frown on his face and pursed his lips, while Yaya looked a little envious.

Shen Mingxi looked at their black little hands. That was because the wheat kernels that Shen Baozhi ate were peeled by her younger brother and sister. Her heart suddenly seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton.

It made it difficult for her to breathe, and she couldn't breathe either up or down.

At this time, smoke was already coming out of the chimney of the house.

When Old Lady Shen came out of the kitchen, Goudan and Yaya were so scared that they quickly stood up. They had just been peeling wheat grains and were so greedy that they didn't dare to eat a single grain because Old Lady Shen was watching them right next to them.

They were particularly afraid of this grandma.

It's just like the fear of a mouse seeing a cat.

"What are you two brats doing squatting there? Go catch some bugs to feed the chickens." Old Mrs. Shen said in an annoyed tone, trying to drive them away.

Goudan and Yaya slipped along the wall to the vegetable garden.
