Chapter 46 Autumn Harvest

"Boss is so generous?" Zhang Yunxi laughed.

The smile is bright and beautiful.

Zhao Rencheng saw that he still needed something real to coax the little fox, "Well, work hard."

"Understood." Zhang Yunxi raised his eyebrows and smiled, raising two fingers to his forehead.

Very cool.

Zhao Rencheng watched her walking down happily, and was infected by her energetic state, and his steps became much lighter.

As they were walking down the mountain, Zhang Yunxi suddenly remembered and asked, "How did you buy malted milk? I wanted to buy it, but I couldn't find it."

"I told the middleman."

He had previously discovered that Zhang Yunxi liked to drink malted milk, so when he went to get the goods, he made a special trip and bought a few cans of malted milk for Zhang Yunxi to drink.

"How much?"

"Five dollars."

"Five yuan, not two yuan and a half?" Zhang Yunxi remembered that the supply and marketing cooperative was two yuan and a half.

It’s extremely expensive.

There is still a shortage of supply.

You have to know that she only earns two cents!

It is such a luxury to have the courage to buy malted milk for two dollars and fifty cents.

As a result, here in Zhao Rencheng, malted milk is five yuan! !

Zhao Rencheng: "The black market does not require food coupons, and there is no quantity limit on goods."

"That's right." Zhang Yunxi sighed. She mustered up the courage to buy it for two dollars and fifty cents, so she'll let the five dollars go for now. "I'll buy it after I make some money."

Malted milk is not a top delicacy, it is just a drink with a milky aroma. No one cares about it in modern times, and some people even think it is too sweet and high in calories.

But the food we eat nowadays is too low in calories and requires too much labor. Due to various imbalances, malted milk is high in calories and strong in sweetness, which makes people flock to it.

Even Zhang Yunxi thinks that drinking malted milk can make them feel more energetic.

Zhao Rencheng said, "Come back to work after the autumn harvest. You can earn about ten yuan in two hours a day, and it will be much easier to buy things."

"OK!"

Autumn harvest is as tiring as you can imagine.

Zhang Yunxi didn't want to bother herself, so she asked, "I want to send a letter. Do I have to go to the town? Can I borrow a bicycle from the team leader to go to the post office in the commune?"

"The postman comes once every two weeks, and the next one will be the day after tomorrow. You can give it to him directly."

"Really, that's great!"

Zhang Yunxi was surprised.

That way she wouldn't have to give an egg to the captain's family in exchange for a bicycle.

"It's around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. You can keep an eye on it, or ask Zhao Mo and Er Gouzi to keep an eye on it."

"good!"

Zhang Yunxi agreed.

He went back with a basket of eggs.

When Deng Damei saw it the next day, she asked, "Which of you two bought it?"

Zhang Yunxi raised her hand high, "Me."

"That's a lot of money, right?" Deng Damei said enviously.

"Yes, the autumn harvest is coming up soon. I'm afraid Zhao Mo and I will be too tired, so I plan to give us some nourishment."

Originally, even though Zhao Rencheng didn't give her eggs, she still wanted to buy them.

Zhao Rencheng gave eggs.

She saves herself the trouble.

"It's great to have an aunt like you." Deng Damei sighed for the ten thousandth time, and excitedly brought out a bowl to show Zhang Yunxi: "Our chicken laid a double yolk egg, wow, that's great."

Now everyone can raise two chickens.

The educated youth dormitory is no exception.

I usually raise chickens to lay eggs and slaughter them at the end of the year for Chinese New Year. I am very happy to have eggs at ordinary times, but I didn’t expect to lay a double yolk egg.

"Really?" Zhang Yunxi looked at it curiously, "It's eating well recently."

Er Gouzi and Zhao Mo always pick up things to feed the chickens, and the speed at which these two little guys lay eggs has increased.

"Yes, I hope they can work hard so that we can have eggs to eat in the autumn harvest. Can I steam this into steamed eggs and eat it?" said Deng Damei.

"Okay, I'll work on my private plot." Zhang Yunxi put on gloves and went to the private plot in the backyard to weed. After the autumn harvest, she would get some lettuce seeds to plant.

"Time for breakfast." Deng Damei shouted.

"Coming." Zhang Yunxi tidied up the weeds, took off his gloves and came to eat.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This morning I had steamed eggs and sweet potatoes.

While they were eating, Captain Zhao came over and called out the male and female educated youths: "Work twelve hours a day during the autumn harvest, and you will get twelve work points. If you want to earn more, you can try to earn more. Don't be lazy. If you are lazy during the autumn harvest, just go back to the educated youth office! Do you understand?!"

Spring ploughing, double harvesting, and autumn harvest.

These are all top-notch matters.

This concerns everyone's food rations! "I heard it."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Zhang Yunxi thought about how tired he would be later, so he simply didn't sleep at noon and just copied the manuscript directly. If he didn't write enough at noon, he would take it to the field in the afternoon and find stones to pad his writing.

Wait for the postman to come and give him the letter.

The next day, at daybreak, the sound of the horn spread throughout the entire brigade.

Notify people: Autumn harvest is coming!

Everyone got up at 5:30 in the morning and became tense and serious. In the entire team, except for those who could not move, everyone, including the cadres, went to the fields.

Even the children picked up sickles and imitated their grandparents in cutting crops. The autumn harvest days in the south were much hotter than before, but no one complained. They would rather have hot weather than have it rain.

Zhang Yunxi came to the paddy field. There was water in the field and leeches were rampant. They would burrow into the skin and suck blood. There were many elderly people in the countryside working in the fields, and her scalp went numb when she saw them!

The leaves of rice have small serrations. Zhang Yunxi was lucky because she had gloves and wore long sleeves. Although it was tiring to cut the rice, she did not get hurt.

People without gloves had scratches all over the back of their hands.

The long, thin bloodstains were shocking. During the autumn harvest, everyone was working very hard and the weather was hot, so naturally they sweated a lot. The sweat slid over the bloodstains, causing both pain and itchiness.

But I couldn't grab it, I could only rub it with the back of my hand without delaying my work.

Everyone is also aware of the benefits of gloves.

But gloves cost money! It's not worth spending money to do the work.

Zhang Yunxi tied the harvested rice into bundles, and others carried them to the production team's threshing ground. There was so much rice that it piled up like a small hill.

After being busy for a whole afternoon, Zhang Yunxi felt more tired than ever before.

At noon, he went back to sleep for a while and went back to the fields. The sun made the water in the paddy fields very hot, and he had to pull his feet back when he stretched them out. Zhang Yunxi pulled back for a while, and under the watchful eyes of Captain Zhao, he went back to the fields.

The ridges of the fields were also hot and scalding.

Zhang Yunxi could only step into the mud tentatively and slowly adapt to the heat.

Deng Damei was beside Zhang Yunxi, stepping down without hesitation, bending over and working hard! She was for the bride price.

We must work hard to make money! Captain Zhao was slightly satisfied. None of the female educated youth were lazy today, especially Deng Damei, who was working hard to get ten work points. That was great! Coming to the male educated youth, Captain Zhao frowned deeply: "Zhao Erhua!!!"

Zhao Erhua shuddered, stood up and looked at the captain uncle, and said timidly: "Captain uncle, I have done my work. I worked hard this morning. It's not too much to help Wu Zhiqing in the afternoon. This can be regarded as the concerted efforts of urban and rural people for common progress."
