Chapter 22: Harvesting Rice
The pancakes are fried until crispy, and the braised pork inside is soft, sweet, fatty but not greasy, and melts in your mouth!
Xu Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wen Sining in disbelief, "Delicious! Your cooking skills are amazing."
Wen Si Ning's smile deepened a little, "Then Sister Xu should eat more."
Xu Zhiyi followed Wen Sining's example and also picked up a meat bun for Wen Sining and handed it to her.
"Niannian, you eat too!"
Wen Sining nodded, took the steamed bun and put it in his mouth.
Grandma was right, this roujiamo was indeed delicious. She looked up at Xu Zhiyi who was eating the steamed bun, and the curve of her lips deepened a little.
The method of making braised pork was taught to her by her grandmother, so of course it is delicious.
You used to make delicious food for me, now it’s my turn to cook for you!
Wen Sining said silently in his heart.
The two of them quickly finished lunch, and in the afternoon Wen Sining accompanied Xu Zhiyi to the fields.
Many people had already gone to work. When they went to the brigade headquarters to get farm tools, they happened to meet the righteous aunts who had been there at noon.
When the aunt saw Wen Sining, she quickly called her over and reported to her the results of the battle at noon.
"Don't be afraid, huh? I went to the village chief's house at noon to file a complaint. He's already asked that young woman to write a letter of guarantee. She won't dare bully you anymore!"
"That's right, you don't know how scared that young woman was. She was afraid that the village chief would kick her out and end up on the streets."
As luck would have it, Lin Jiayue also arrived at this time.
She looked very unhappy, and it was obvious that she had heard several aunts talking bad about her behind her back.
She glared fiercely at Xu Zhiyi and the little fool beside her!
How abominable!
If it weren't for the two of them, she wouldn't have been asked to write a letter of guarantee today.
And the sumptuous lunch she had been longing for turned out to be just a bowl of plain porridge!
Recalling what happened at noon, Lin Jiayue wanted to tear them both to pieces!
At noon she chased after the old women, but no matter how much she begged, they refused to give in.
Finally, they chased him to the village chief's house, and Zhao Lusheng had just returned.
Who would have thought that those gossipy old women would run directly to Zhao Lusheng and exaggerate what they had just seen before telling him.
Lin Jiayue cried and explained everything that had happened. It took a lot of effort to make Zhao Lusheng believe her.
Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway?
Zhao Lusheng's wife Niu Chunhua heard the noise at the door and ran out to scold her.
She said that the eggs in the morning were reserved for her daughter, but they were eaten by Lin Jiayue, so she wanted Lin Jiayue to pay compensation!
After the quarrel, Lin Jiayue was exhausted.
Zhao Lusheng finally sent the person away, but Niu Chunhua still refused to give in. Lin Jiayue had no choice but to give her a dime as the money for the egg she had eaten that morning.
Niu Chunhua finally gave up after receiving the money. Finally, Niu Chunhua reluctantly left her a bowl of white porridge as lunch.
Not long after Lin Jiayue finished her porridge and walked out of the house, her stomach started to rumble.
White porridge digests quickly, and she was already hungry. Then, when she arrived at the brigade headquarters, she heard those old women talking bad about her behind her back!
She was so angry that she couldn't vent it.
Looking at Wen Sining chatting and laughing with a few old women, her face darkened a little.
He's just a little fool, but she doesn't believe it and she can't deal with him!
This season is the rice harvest season. Wen Sining and Xu Zhiyi each took a sickle and prepared to go to the fields to harvest rice.
The water supply to the rice fields was cut off a week ago, but the water in the fields has not dried up yet.
The paddy fields are muddy and you can easily slip if you are not careful.
Xu Zhiyi said to Wen Sining with some concern, "Nuannuan, wait for me on the shore. The ground is slippery here, and everyone is holding a sickle. If you accidentally fall and hit the sickle, it will be very dangerous."
Wen Sining reassured Xu Zhiyi, "Sister Xu, I will be careful. We are a team and we need to earn work points together!"
Xu Zhiyi saw that she was so persistent and didn't know what to say. She went down to the field first, and after gaining her footing, she stretched out her arms towards Wen Sining.
"Hold my hand tightly and come down slowly."
Wen Sining held her hand and slowly stepped into the mud.
The mud was very soft and wet. When you stepped on it, you felt like you couldn't reach the bottom, which made you feel extremely insecure.
Xu Zhiyi did not let go of her hand. She walked in front to clear the way for Wen Sining.
"Hold my hand tightly and step on my footprints so you won't fall easily."
Although the mud was so deep that she couldn't step on the bottom, making her feel insecure, Wen Sining was not afraid at all because of her grandmother's assurance.
The two walked to the area they were responsible for and used the method the team leader had just taught them.
He bent down, grabbed the rice with one hand, and used a sickle to cut it hard at a position fifteen centimeters from the root of the rice, and then threw it into the backpack.
This was Wen Sining’s first time experiencing rice harvesting. I have to say that besides being tired, it also really strained her waist!
She saw that everyone was hunched over, with their heads lowered, working hard.
She took a deep breath and lowered her head, unwilling to be outdone.
Unaware that danger is quietly approaching.
Lin Jiayue had been staring at her for a long time. When she was getting familiar with the farm tools in the morning, she saw small parts such as nails and screws in the storage compartment on another table.
Just now when she went to get the sickle, she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and took a few of them.
Lin Jiayue looked at Wen Sining with her head down, and she took a step forward and quietly walked towards her.
When she was only a few meters away from Wen Sining, Lin Jiayue stopped and threw the nails into the unharvested rice field.
Anyway, this piece of land is under the responsibility of Xu Zhiyi and the others, so she will be happy no matter who steps on the nail!
After doing all this, Lin Jiayue returned to the area she was responsible for in a good mood.
There were two other female educated youth who were in charge of this area with her.
The two of them were arranged to live in the team leader's home. In order to prevent the use of public power for personal gain, the work points of the village cadres were counted together, and then divided equally among the families when the settlement time came.
The other two female educated youth knew that Lin Jiayue was from Beijing and they were very flattering to her.
Seeing Lin Jiayue coming, the two of them hurried forward to speak up for her.
"Jiayue, we all saw what happened at noon. It's not your fault. That little idiot did it on purpose!"
"Yes, Jiayue, we can testify for you. After work, we will go with you to find the village chief and seek justice for you!"
After they said this, Lin Jiayue instantly felt confident.
"Okay! You'll be my witnesses later, and after that, I'll take you to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy something to eat!"
When the two female educated youth heard this, their eyes immediately lit up. They nodded repeatedly and made assurances to Lin Jiayue.
In order to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, the two female educated youth let Lin Jiayue rest on the side while they worked hard.
Lin Jiayue really acted like a hands-off boss. She put the sickle aside and stood there, not wanting to take a single step forward.
One is that they think it is dirty, and the other is that they are too lazy to move.
Suddenly she was hit by something, and a slippery object fell along her collar and onto her back!
