The morning dew had not yet completely dissipated when the brother and sister arrived at the field.
I haven't looked at it for just two days, and the soybean green branches and leaves have turned into yellow leaves, and the middle of the leaves are covered with oval skins.
The ripe soybeans are hidden in these thin skins.
Looking at the dense, full field of ripe soybeans, Hua Shi let out a sigh of relief, then rolled up his sleeves and went to the field.
On the other side, Hua Yu had already bent down skillfully, pulling up the roots and branches that were stuck in the ground and placing them neatly aside.
Hua Shi imitated Hua Yu and also buried his head in pulling out the entire pearl leaf with its roots.
The soybean field is located in a remote area. Looking up a little, it is all abandoned dry land. It is now early October and many crops are not yet mature.
So the brother and sister worked in the fields for the entire morning. There was no one around them, and it was quiet, with only the rustling sound of pulling out branches and leaves.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sun gradually rose.
The wet dew in the early morning was evaporated completely by the scorching sun.
Hua Shi straightened up, wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, looked at the increasingly hot sun, and frowned uncomfortably.
When the sun has not risen completely, working will at most make your waist a little tired. When the sun rises, your back will be hot from the sun, and there will be more and more sweat on your forehead and neck, and your face will also be red and hot.
I can't stand it when it blooms.
It’s too hot. If I keep getting sunburned like this, I’ll get heatstroke soon…
She looked around but couldn't find a place to cool off.
The leaves on the nearest twigs were too few and sparse to block out the sun and provide her with some shade.
When she went out, she also remembered to bring a straw hat or something. After searching for a while and not finding it, she realized that the Hua family didn't have such a thing.
Normally when they go to work in the fields, they just stare at the scorching sun and work hard, so they don't have time to wear hats.
"Ayu, I can't do it anymore. Let's find a place to rest and continue pulling it out later."
Hua Shi spoke loudly to Hua Yu, who was still busy pulling out weeds.
The young man who was working hard seemed not to hear anything, and his hands showed no intention of stopping.
He estimated and expected that Hua Shi would not be able to hold on for long. He was surprised that she could not hold on for more than three hours.
After pulling out this large piece of branches and leaves, you also need to remove the outer skin covering the soybeans and break out the soybeans inside before you are done.
The huge workload left him no time to rest.
Mrs. Li was very smart. She had been doing farm work all her life, so she naturally knew how much work she could do without stopping for a whole day.
This large area of land is worked non-stop, and the quicker the hands and feet, the more work can be finished in a day.
When the sun sets, you can return home with a bag full of soybeans to report to your superiors.
He also knew in his heart that even if there was no flower time, Li would make him finish all the work on this piece of land within one day.
It's been like this in previous years, and he's used to it.
So when Hua Yu heard Hua Shi ask for a rest, he didn't intend to pay any attention to him.
Hua Shi walked to the edge of the field, took out a bamboo tube from the basket, and drank a few gulps before stopping.
She stood there and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve. Seeing that Hua Yu ignored her, she felt embarrassed to go and rest, leaving Hua Yu alone.
He picked up the bamboo tube that Hua Yu had casually placed on the edge of the field, walked over, and handed it to him, "Have some water."
Seeing that the bamboo tube was handed under his eyes, Hua Yu stood up straight, raised his eyelids, looked at her, took it, drank two sips, and returned it.
Then he buried his head and continued to work. He had no time to waste, so he could only bite the bullet and continue working in the fields despite being sweaty.
As time passed, the sun became hotter and hotter, and rose directly above our heads.
Looking at the land that was half-emptied, Hua Shi's cheeks were already sunburned red and her lips were a little chapped.
She had drunk up all the water in the bamboo tube. Without telling Hua Yu, she secretly used water from the spring to replenish some of her intake, but she didn't dare to add too much, for fear that it would be too obvious and arouse Hua Yu's suspicion.
Now that the bamboo tube was empty, she didn't dare add more water to it. She had to endure the thirst and work for a whole morning. Now her stomach was empty.
The big bowl of white rice I ate in the morning was digested long ago.
I'm thirsty and hungry...
"Ayu, let's take a break. I feel a little dizzy from the sun."
This time, regardless of whether Hua Yuxiu rested or not, Hua Shi could not hold on any longer. He shouted at him, then picked up his bamboo tube and went towards the direction of the lake.
The lake is deep and close to the woods, so the sun can't reach there at the moment, so it's a good time to wash your face and take a rest.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Li would suddenly ask her to work in the fields. If she had known this, she would have taken out the white flour from the cupboard and made some white steamed buns, cakes, etc.
When she was dawdling in the morning, she even went to the kitchen to search it out. When Mrs. Li saw that she had wasted the rice and grain in the cupboard, she had already stuffed all the edible things back into the cupboard and locked it.
As a result, I couldn't bring any dry food with me. Now I'm hungry, but I can only endure it, or take some money to the village to find a family to exchange for some food...
Hua Shi was thinking, but he didn't stop and walked straight towards the lake.
Suddenly, a muffled groan of pain came from behind...
"hiss,--!"
Hua Shi frowned and looked back.
Hua Yu didn't know how, but suddenly he fell to the ground covered with dead branches and leaves, curled up in a heap, and cried out in pain.
