Chapter 27 Participating in the Summer Harvest



"Yeah, I smelled the aroma at the door."

Seeing their expressions, Yun Yan smiled helplessly: "It's pig intestines and eggs, do you want to eat it?"

"Pig intestines? Sister Yun, that one doesn't taste good."

"Yeah, Yunyan, how can pig intestines, which are dirty and smelly, smell so good?"

Neither of them believed that the fragrance came from pig intestines.

"Then are the loaches and eels I made delicious?"

"Delicious." They said in unison.

"So, you have to trust my cooking skills. I can definitely make something you originally thought was unpalatable into something delicious."

"Go wash your hands quickly, you can eat soon."

While they were washing their hands, Yun Yan came to the kitchen, took the pig intestines out of the marinade, cut them into small pieces on the chopping board, put them on a plate, poured the marinade on it, and then took out the eggs and put them on another plate.

After the pork intestines and eggs were brought to the living room, Qian Qian and Hu Zi immediately surrounded them.

Hu Zi smelled the fragrance and took a deep breath: "Sister Yun, this pig intestine is so fragrant."

Seeing his expression, Yun Yan smiled: "Then go and get the dishes and chopsticks for your sister, so you can eat soon."

After hearing this, Hu Zi immediately ran to the kitchen. Qian Qian was responsible for serving the meal, and Hu Zi was responsible for getting the bowls and chopsticks.

After they sat down, Qian Qian and Hu Zi couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and pick up a piece of braised pig intestines: "Yun Yan, you really didn't lie to me. This pig intestine is really delicious."

"Well, it's delicious. Sister Yun, you are so amazing. You can do everything." Hu Zi said flatteringly.

Half an hour later, all three of them were full. After a short rest, Yun Yan took Qian Qian to wash the dishes together.

Yun Yan used a deep plate to fill some braised pork intestines and braised eggs for Hu Zi, added extra soup and asked him to take it home for the team leader and his wife to taste.

After Hu Zi left, Yun Yan and Qian Qian lay on the bed, chatted for a while, and then fell asleep.

The alarm clock at two o'clock woke them up. After getting up, Yun Yan turned off the alarm clock, washed her face simply, and then pulled Qian Qian to work together.

In the next few days, Qian Qian helped Yun Yan make loach and eel. To thank her, Yun Yan also made delicious food for her in different ways every day.

I went to the black market twice and made more than two hundred yuan.

After mid-July, preparations for the summer harvest began. The team leader specifically found Yun Yan, Qian Qian, and Li Shuwan and said, "You three have to participate in the summer harvest this time. Don't be lazy anymore."

Yunyan had been mentally prepared for this. During the summer harvest, even the children in the village had to go to the fields to pick rice, so it would be unreasonable for her and her children not to participate.

"Don't worry, Captain. I'll be fine."

"Me too, Captain. I will participate in the summer harvest." Qian Qian also said.

Yun Yan had told him a few days ago that during the summer harvest, the team leader would definitely ask the educated youth who were cutting grass for pigs to participate as well, so Qian Qian was mentally prepared.

However, Li Shuwan was not happy about it: "Captain, why do you suddenly ask me to participate in the summer harvest? I don't rely on work points to make a living."

The team leader's face hardened when he heard her words: "During the summer harvest, even the children in the village have to go to the fields. How can you be lazier than them?"

When Li Shuwan saw that the captain was angry, she immediately stopped talking.

A few days before the summer harvest, Yun Yan asked Hu Zi and the others not to catch loaches for the time being and to continue after the summer harvest.

After cooking all the remaining loaches and eels at home, Yun Yan kept some to eat during the summer harvest and sold the rest on the black market.

The last time I went to the black market before the summer harvest, I told my customers that I had to prepare for the summer harvest and would not come again until mid-August.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still two days before the summer harvest, Yun Yan cooked porridge, fried pickles, and made some buns, steamed buns, and fried cakes and put them in the space.

On July 23rd, the summer harvest horn was officially sounded, and all men, women, young and old from the entire Red Flag Brigade had to participate.

On the first day of the summer harvest, before dawn, a burst of rapid gong beating sounds rang out.

The team leader walked towards the field while beating the gong. When the villagers heard the familiar sound of the gong, they speeded up their work.

When Yun Yan heard the gong, she quickly got up, washed up, and went to the fields with the villagers.

A large group of people hurriedly ran to the fields. After a while, the team leader looked at the number of people and felt that almost everyone was there, so he quickly called out everyone's names and began to assign tasks.

Yunyan was assigned to harvest rice today. After receiving the sickle, she immediately bent down and started working.

During the summer harvest, tasks were assigned to each person individually. After harvesting one acre of land, one would get 15 work points. For each acre of land responsible for harvesting rice, one would get 7 work points. Everyone was working hard.

The working hours for summer harvest are from 5:30 to 7:30 in the morning, from 8:30 to 12:30 in the afternoon after breakfast, and from 1:30 in the afternoon to 7:30 in the evening.

If there are too many tasks left to do, you may have to continue working in the dark.

Yun Yan didn't plan to make herself so tired. It would be enough to get six or seven work points.

At 7:30 in the morning, the team leader rang the gong and asked everyone to go home for breakfast. Yun Yan returned the sickle and went home.

After returning home, Yunyan immediately cooked some egg noodles and cooked rice in the pot while eating the noodles.

After finishing the noodles, Yun Yan made a fried egg with chopped green onions. After the rice was cooked, she filled a lunch box with most of the rice, and paired it with the fried egg with chopped green onions and spicy loach, which was today's lunch.

At noon, Yunyan decided to eat in the fields like the villagers so that she could have a rest.

After the meal was ready, Yun Yan looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes left. She quickly tied her hair, put on a straw hat, put on her water bottle, and carried her lunch box to the field.

When Yunyan ran to the field, some villagers had already started working. After putting their things away and receiving their sickles, Yunyan hurried to join in the work.

Everyone was working furiously. During the busy farming season, everyone was very conscientious and no one was lazy. During the busy farming season, everyone's eyes were only focused on their own small piece of land.

At 12:30 pm, the gong sounded, and Yun Yan straightened her back and pounded with her fists. After working all morning, her waist felt like it was about to break, and her hands were sore.

After quickly finishing lunch, Yunyan found a shady place to take a nap.

She felt that she had just closed her eyes when the gong sounded to start work.

After washing his face in the ditch nearby, he immediately ran to the field to continue working.

She worked until 7:30 that evening and only earned seven work points, but Yunyan was too tired to talk. The villagers and other educated youth were the same; they stopped chatting as they walked along the street, probably all exhausted.

Yun Yan also met Li Wei, the old educated youth who abandoned Wang Fang. He looked decent. In order to get a place at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he married the daughter of the brigade accountant, but in the end he did not get to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University as he wished.

It seems that the brigade accountant is also a smart man. He knows that he is not reliable at all, so he directly cuts off his escape route and lets him live a quiet life with his daughter.

After returning home, Yun Yan quickly boiled some water and sat on a stool for a while before the water heated up. She quickly showered and washed clothes. After finishing her work, she took out the lunch she had cooked from her space and paired it with the peanut and pig lung soup that had been stored in her space.

It was almost nine o'clock after dinner. Yun Yan immediately turned off the lights and went to bed because she had to get up early to continue working the next day.
