There are currently 18 people at the educated youth site, so they are divided into groups of two, with each shift lasting 9 days.
Lu Xia was assigned to the same group as Shen Qingqing. She secretly felt lucky that she was not assigned to the same group as the heroine.
She looked at Shen Qingqing again and found that the little girl smiled at her shyly, and Lu Xia also smiled back.
Then Gu Xiangnan and Jiang Junmo were formed a group, but neither of them could cook, so they asked Sun Shengnan to help. Jiang Junmo said that he would not be able to do much work, and he could give them work points when the time came.
Everyone looked at his expression and said nothing.
After everything was arranged, we would take turns cooking from today onwards.
Then a few people followed the old educated youth to the threshing ground in front of the brigade headquarters to wait for today's work to be divided.
While no one was paying attention, Lu Xia filled his kettle with spiritual spring water and followed everyone.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few people at the threshing ground. Everyone knew that there were more educated youth in the village, so they were looking at them curiously.
The most eye-catching ones among them were Gu Xiangnan and Su Man. Although they wore the most ordinary clothes for work, their temperament and appearance showed that they were not like ordinary people.
...
...
Naturally, this attracted the attention of the villagers, especially the young men in the village, who all stared at Su Man, while the young girls blushed as they looked at Gu Xiangnan.
Of course, many people looked at Jiang Junmo, but his thin body and pale face showed that he was not in good health and could not work.
You can't survive in the countryside if you can't work, so people just look at his face and are not very interested in him.
The new educated youth felt a little embarrassed when being stared at, and some aunts even came over to look at them.
"Oh my, how come the new educated youth is so handsome? He must have dazzled all the young men and women in the village!"
"Look at this handsome guy. Even the girls and wives can't walk when they see him!"
The words were too blunt, and even Gu Xiangnan, who was thick-skinned, felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, the village chief arrived soon and asked the team leaders to start assigning tasks to her.
The work in the fields is the same now, weeding the crops.
So the female educated youth were assigned to pull weeds, and the male educated youth were also responsible for transporting the pulled vegetables.
Lu Xia followed Sun Shengnan and the others to the area assigned to them, and began to weed the corn seedlings in the field like them.
The job was simple. In case they didn't know what corn seedlings were, Sun Shengnan pointed them out to them.
Then just pull out the rest of the weeds.
Although it looks simple, Lu Xia realized it is not easy after pulling it for a while.
First of all, the corn seedlings were not tall at the moment, only about as high as her knees.
Whether she was squatting or standing to pull, she would touch them. There was some fuzz on the corn seedlings, which was particularly prickly. If she accidentally touched them, the back of her hand would get a red mark.
Fortunately, she was wearing long sleeves, otherwise her arms would have been hurt.
Secondly, my waist is too tired. I can't bear squatting all the time. Standing up and then squatting down is even more tiring. It would be great if I had a small stool to sit on.
But no one has it, so she can't ask for special treatment.
Plus, after working for a while the sun gradually became hotter and my body was covered in sweat, it was so uncomfortable!
It seems I'll have to prepare a straw hat later.
Lu Xia looked at Su Man and saw that she had covered her head with a towel. It seemed like he could try that himself. If he wet the towel, he would feel a lot cooler.
Pulling weeds is really tiring. The weeds don’t look big. I heard from Sun Shengnan that it has been pulled once before, and this time it has grown again.
Moreover, the corn will grow again after they are pulled out this time, so they need to continue pulling it out until the corn grows tall and the grass that grows again will not affect the corn. Only then will they stop pulling it out.
