Since Song Tangzi returned home from the Red Star Brigade, Song Tanglan has returned to her previous life, going up the mountain to cut grass for pigs every day and then returning home. However, this leisurely life lasted only two days before the autumn harvest came.
Today, everyone in the team, big or small, who can move, has to rush to harvest. They need to finish the harvest quickly, otherwise the crops in the fields will be destroyed by the rain.
Song Tanglan dressed herself warmly once again and followed the team to the place where the work was assigned. This time, she was in the same group as usual with Aunt Li.
Song Tangcheng had to take care of her newborn baby, so she didn't need to come to the autumn harvest.
That day she met many people she had never seen before. Most of them were busy with housework at home, and there were also many young girls waiting to get married.
The first crops they had to harvest were rice, sorghum and peanuts. After the work was assigned, their third team was responsible for harvesting peanuts.
The men pick the peanuts in front, and the women pick the peanuts off the seedlings in the back. Someone is also needed to get out the peanuts that fall on the ground.
Su Tao and Song Tanglan were assigned to pick peanuts. They put on gloves and began to pick peanuts slowly.
"Lanlan, after your younger brother went back, you suddenly had no one chattering around you. You're still a little uncomfortable." Su Tao looked at the peanut seedlings that were gradually piling up, and her hands moved faster.
Song Tanglan thought of his little brother who followed him like a parrot all day long, chattering endlessly, and shook his head helplessly.
"It was a little bit strange at first, but it got better over time."
There were six of them picking peanuts here, and they needed to separate the plump ones aside to be picked out as seeds later. It was quite a lot of work.
In addition, Sun Jianhua and Cheng Fangyuan were quite fast, so it didn't take long for them to finish plucking a whole basket and then carry it to the edge of the field.
They couldn't pick peanuts fast enough to keep up with them.
Fortunately, after they pulled out the peanuts from the field, they had to transport the peanut seedlings and peanuts to the threshing ground. It only took one day to harvest all the peanuts.
This was completed in a hurry because the team leader kept an eye on those who liked to be lazy.
The team leader's voice of scolding could be heard all day long, especially Zhou Xiaoli, who was scolded the most. They could hear her crying from far away.
After harvesting peanuts, they had to pick corn, which was particularly unfriendly for these young educated youth.
Especially the corn leaves are very sharp. If you are not careful, you will easily get scratched by them. There are also various hairs on the leaves, which can easily make you feel itchy all over.
Song Tanglan wrapped herself tightly, but after a while she felt itchy all over. The sun above her head was like a fire, and she was so hot that she drank water frantically.
In addition, they were assigned a lot of work fields, and Song Tanglan's hands were sore from breaking the corn, and she only broke a basket. She still needed to carry the basket out, but she couldn't do it because the basket was too full of corn.
In addition, after picking the corn, the corn stalks still need to be broken, which takes a lot of effort. Thinking that my palms have become numb from breaking the corn, and looking at the team that is lagging behind, I can only grit my teeth and continue breaking the corn.
This time her partner is Jiang Shubai.
Every time Jiang Shubai came to help her move corn, he saw the little girl's face was red with tiredness. Seeing her so tired, he looked at the team leader not far away, without looking at this side, and said something in a low voice.
"Rest for a while, I'll help you break it."
"No, no, you're already tired enough just carrying the corn." Song Tanglan was too embarrassed to ask him to help break the corn. After the autumn harvest in the past few days, Jiang Shubai's skin had turned as dark as wheat, and their work was even more tiring these days.
It takes a lot of energy to move so many things.
Jiang Shubai noticed her lips were peeling and reminded her. "It's okay. I was just being lazy and breaking this is easy. Drink some water first, or you'll get a heat stroke."
When Song Tanglan heard this, she touched her nose. She had already drunk all the water in the kettle. She was still thinking that she would be off work in an hour, so it should be fine if she held on a little longer.
Jiang Shubai looked at her and guessed that she was out of water. He took out the water bottle tied to his waist and asked. "If you don't mind, I'll pour you some. I just made some mint water and I haven't drunk it yet!"
At this time, there was no time to care about the difference between men and women. She was almost dying of thirst, so she nodded happily. She had been looking at Aunt Li and Su Tao's location, but they had never passed by her, and she was too embarrassed to run to them to ask for water.
I had no choice but to endure it.
"Thank you, I don't mind."
Seeing that she had no scruples at all, Jiang Shubai picked up the water cup and poured half a pot of water into her cup. He then took a big sip, put the water cup aside, and helped her to break the corn.
Song Tanglan sat on the ground to rest for a while, looking at Jiang Shubai who was wearing ordinary linen clothes not far away. The linen clothes looked much more precious on him.
I have to praise his little habits in his gestures and movements. He is indeed a noble young man raised in a wealthy family.
After working in the countryside for more than half a year, he had absorbed a lot of the casualness of a countryman, but his aura didn't seem like that of a countryman at all.
After this period of labor, he developed muscles in his hands and his skin became much darker than before, but even so, his charm remained undiminished.
It looked really pleasing to the eyes. Song Tanglan couldn't help but sigh as she drank ice-cold water.
After resting for a while and regaining his strength, he stood up and continued to break the corn.
Jiang Shubai only helped her break the corn for a while, and then he needed to transport the corn in the basket over. But the next time he came, he helped her break some more. After going back and forth like this, Song Tanglan got 6 work points more easily than usual today.
After returning home, Song Tanglan quickly changed his clothes and took a shower. Only then did he see that there were several big bumps on his neck from being scratched. It still felt a little itchy. He applied some homemade cooling oil, and then he felt better.
