They had made a preliminary division beforehand. The female comrades were not as physically strong as the male comrades, so the female comrades harvested the rice while the male comrades were responsible for threshing the rice and sending it to the threshing ground for drying.
Of course, this division of labor is not too rigid. For example, when the rice has not been harvested yet, the men will help to harvest it. After the rice in the field has been harvested, the women will help to thresh it. When harvesting, the women will also help to pick the rice and lift the thresher. There is both division of labor and cooperation, which maximizes labor efficiency.
The thresher could naturally hold more than one load of rice. After Wu Shudong had loaded all the rice, Kang Mingyuan put down his work and helped him carry the rice to the threshing floor to dry.
It was noon in the busy time. Qiao Mo put down his sickle and went back to cook.
Qiao Mo hurried back to the educated youth site. He first washed rice and cooked it. After lighting a fire, he added a few pieces of firewood to the stove and then prepared some vegetables. The double harvest was a high-intensity physical labor, so life couldn't be too bad.
She caught a large grass carp from the dilapidated fish tank, cleaned it, sliced the meat thinly, and chopped the bones and head into small pieces.
I washed another small piece of bacon and cut it into thin slices. I washed the green peppers I picked from the vegetable garden and cut them into thin slices. Finally, I broke the beans into sections and washed them.
After doing all this, the rice was almost cooked, so she lit another fire and put an iron pan on it to prepare cooking.
By the time the others returned to the educated youth site, the food was already on the table.
"Boiled fish, stir-fried bacon with green peppers, and boiled beans. We are in for a treat." Wu Shudong almost drooled when he saw the three bowls of dishes full of food on the table.
"Everyone works so hard, so of course our life can't be too bad, otherwise how can we bear it?" Qiao Mo said with a smile.
In order to improve their lives during the double harvest, several male educated youth began preparations a few days in advance. They not only caught several large fish to feed the water tanks, but also caught a lot of small fish and shrimps in fish baskets. After washing and removing the internal organs, they fried them, dried them and stored them there. Together with the fish caught by Qiao Mo and the others yesterday, they would have enough to eat for a few days.
It's a pity that the current brigade leaders are keeping a close eye on them, so they dare not go up the mountain to hunt. Otherwise, they would definitely find time to go up the mountain and hunt some pheasants and rabbits to raise and improve their lives.
"Mo Mo is right. We should not only work hard, but also eat well. Otherwise, it will be a big loss if our health breaks down." Chen Ran also nodded.
Everyone devoured the food quickly, and then patted their stomachs and said they had eaten too much and were full.
"Everyone go back and rest, we'll set off at 2 o'clock sharp." Wang Jiaming looked at the scorching sun outside and decided to let everyone rest at home at noon and go to the field at 2 o'clock.
"Okay, let's go back and lie down for a while." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Qiao Mo washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen and returned to her room. She was about to lie down on the bed and take a nap when she heard the sound of the yard door being pushed open. She released her spiritual sense and looked outside. It was Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling who came back.
It's just that their faces weren't very happy: one's face was so black that ink could drip out of it, and the other had a mournful look on his face, as if his father had died.
Qiao Mo curled his lips, withdrew his consciousness, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
