The team leader continued to fool around: "Those with good hearing must have heard the thunder about half an hour ago. If you have elderly people at home, do you feel that your knees and other parts that used to hurt when it rained are not feeling well today? Think about it carefully. So for everyone's consideration, I have decided to start harvesting from today, from this moment on."
At this point, the people below began to discuss and express their opinions.
"Captain, it's so hot, how can it rain? And it's almost noon now, so we can harvest the crops tomorrow. I don't think it will rain."
"That's right. It's still very hot today, but I didn't hear any thunder. You are just saying this to make us work faster!"
The person who said this was a lazy idiot in the village. The team leader confronted him directly.
"The fact that you didn't hear it only shows that you are hard of hearing. Aren't you just lazy? What are you talking about? There is only one afternoon left. We have to harvest all night long. Anyone who has a flashlight at home can contribute it. If you don't have a flashlight, bring your oil lamp to the brigade headquarters.
We all went to dig corn before it got dark, and when it got dark, we all rubbed the corn kernels together in the brigade headquarters. After rubbing the corn kernels, we went home to take a short rest, and continued to dig corn when it got light, and rubbed the corn kernels together again at night. This way we didn't waste time.
Don't think I'm trying to scare you. Do you think we dare to gamble? If it doesn't rain, we'll just harvest the crops earlier. We'll be a little more tired, but we won't lose anything. We can just rest for a few more days. But if it does rain, we won't harvest any corn at all. We'll have to leave it all in the fields. Think about it yourself."
The captain's words hit everyone's heart. Yes. It has been a drought for so long, and the surplus food in the family has long been gone. Now some people can't even eat grass. If it really rains,...
The noisy brigade headquarters suddenly became quiet after the brigade leader's words.
The captain saw that the villagers were upset, so he encouraged them, "Don't be too pessimistic. Rain is a good thing. It means that we are no longer drought-stricken, and the crops we plant next year will no longer be shriveled.
We have to solve the problems we face now. God will not let down those who work hard. Everyone should line up to get equipment and start working. I believe we can do it. "
"Yes, we can do it."
"Yes, we can!"
I have to say that the captain is really good at inspiring people.
They were busy until two in the morning when they finally threshed all the corn. Then Tang Tiantian and Song Jinxi walked home with heavy steps.
Tang Tiantian glanced at the starless sky and said to Song Jinxi, "When I first started working, I felt a little regretful for causing trouble for myself, but then I saw that there were no stars in the sky and it always felt damp, and when I saw those small children with big heads, I thought it was a good idea for us to do this.
By the way, this thing of yours is really useful. Once it is stuck, it will go away cleanly. It is very labor-saving. Even though it is labor-saving, my hands are shaking from exhaustion, but I am very happy. "
"Me too. I am tired but happy. It is a rare experience. We are both really asking for trouble, hahaha~ By the way, the gloves you gave me today are almost worn out, and your pair is probably the same. I have new ones, and I will give you a pair tomorrow. You can't peel corn and rub the corn kernels without gloves."
