The next day, after lunch, Zhao Shuhong found the leader of her group and hesitantly explained her purpose.
Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to say that she wanted to eat meat and then asked for leave to buy meat.
I just said that I was very tired and wanted to take a day off.
Yang Liguo, the leader of Group 4, looked at her expressionlessly for a long moment, then suppressed his anger and said, "Zhao Zhiqing, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
Is Zhao Zhiqing brainless? The autumn harvest is such a heavy task, and he's so anxious to complete the team's tasks on time that blisters have formed around his mouth. He works hard in the fields like an old ox every day.
It's only been a few days and Zhao Zhiqing wants to ask for leave. Not only will he not agree, but even the other team members won't agree.
Zhao Shuhong felt that there was something wrong with the team leader's expression, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
She gritted her teeth and repeated what she had just said.
Yang Liguo took a deep breath. He thought that if he pretended not to hear it the first time, Zhao Zhiqing would be tactful and shut up. He didn't expect that this would be a hammer.
"It's only been a few days since the autumn harvest. Everyone's been working tirelessly to gather the grain. Zhao Zhiqing, do you think it's appropriate for you to ask for leave now?"
"But I..."
Yang Liguo interrupted her with a wave of his hand. "I don't care what your reasons are. At this moment, even if you are too sick to get out of bed, you have to get up and cut the rice!"
Zhao Shuhong was a little dissatisfied. Before, other people in the educated youth group would ask for leave to go to the community every now and then, but why was it that she couldn't do that?
It's autumn harvest, and with her limited strength, she can do neither more nor less. Why doesn't the team leader agree?
Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't say anything to refute it. No one would ask for leave at this time. What the team leader said was true.
When she saw the looks from the other team members, she couldn't help but blush.
"Then... then I won't ask for leave..." Zhao Shuhong quickly threw down the letter, turned around and ran into the field.
This autumn harvest was too tiring. How could her body bear it without eating meat? It was all Yi Xiaoqiu's fault. If she hadn't harvested so little pork, would she have thought of asking for leave and been scolded by the team leader?
Zhao Shuhong continued to complain even as she swung her sickle.
Not only were the educated youth exhausted during the autumn harvest, but even other farm workers who were used to doing farm work felt they could not take it anymore.
Since the autumn harvest, the Ding brothers no longer have the energy to hang out after dinner.
After they had their meal, they couldn't wait to stick to the kang. As for secretly climbing onto their sister-in-law's kang, sorry, they had no such idea at all.
Liu Xiaoping and her two sisters-in-law felt that they had never been so tired.
Indeed, the two of them had rarely gone to the fields since they got married. Normally, no one said anything, but during the autumn harvest, everyone wanted as many people as possible to participate. Even the half-grown children from each family were assigned the task of picking up rice ears behind the adults, not to mention the educated youth.
Yi Xiaoqiu's waist was so sore that she would rather carry rice than bend over and harvest it.
Carrying the rice to the edge of the field is a man's job. The rice is piled up solidly to half a person's height, which is something most women can carry. However, this job is more demanding for women than harvesting rice, so the job of carrying the rice is usually given to men.
But there are exceptions. Didn’t Yi Xiaoqiu also carry the load when we harvested wheat last time?
When Yao Zhiguo heard Yi Xiaoqiu's request to pick rice, he agreed without much thought.
Carrying rice is so difficult that not only women cannot do it, but even men would be very tired after carrying it for a whole day.
Yao Zhiguo can still remember the look of Yi Zhiqing carrying the load on his shoulder during the last wheat harvest. He almost walked very fast while carrying the load on his shoulder.
She looked very relaxed, so Yao Zhiguo arranged it for her without saying a word.
Finally, I don’t have to bend over to cut rice!
Yi Xiaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted his waist twice, then picked up the carrying pole.
The team member who was replaced also breathed a sigh of relief. The skin on his shoulders was all worn out, and it was finally possible to replace him.
Seeing this, Song Ying also found the team leader and changed to the job of collecting and bundling rice.
Yao Zhiguo was extremely satisfied. The reason why he did not give this task to Yi Xiaoqiu and Song Ying this time was because he thought that they had done it for so long last time and people thought it was easy. Some people gossiped about it, so he did not arrange it again this time.
Now that everyone has experienced this, no one should say anything about it anymore!
After Yi Xiaoqiu changed her role, she felt that time passed much faster. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival was here and one third of the autumn harvest had passed.
At night, Yi Xiaoqiu held two mooncakes that were bigger than his face, and his lonely heart felt a little warm.
These are the mooncakes that the Yi family sent in advance.
It would be a wonderful thing to have a mooncake to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
To suit the occasion, she asked the housekeeper to make a few and distributed them to the hostesses in the backyard.
As for who they eat with, she has no say in it.
It’s not that Yi Xiaoqiu is silly and generous. Mooncakes may look precious to others, but she has no shortage of food!
She kept the mooncakes sent by the Yi family for herself to eat slowly, so as not to let her relatives down.
Yi Xiaoqiu suddenly remembered the old couple Chen in the cowshed, and hurriedly sent a mooncake and some eggs and food to the cowshed with a magnifying glass. He also left a note saying that it was a gift from Ji Shu.
As for how excited and grateful the old couple Chen were when they received the mooncakes and eggs, let’s not talk about it for now.
It was not until Yi Xiaoqiu sent the mooncakes that Su Mianmian remembered that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She sat by the window, looked up, saw a bright moon in the sky, and her nose suddenly felt sore for no reason.
She missed home, her relatives, her father, and her younger brother...
Su Mianmian's eyes gradually became moist. At this moment, Chi Shunian walked to her window, and the loneliness in her heart was instantly dispelled.
Fortunately, she is no longer alone.
Shen Ruofei was also a little depressed, but she was still happy that she could eat mooncakes at this time, and even wanted to eat mooncakes with Yi Xiaoqiu in the yard.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't refuse either.
When they brought the small kang table out, they found Chi Shunian and Su Mianmian sitting under the window, talking to someone inside.
When Chi Shunian saw the two people coming out, his face turned slightly hot and he felt a little embarrassed.
Su Mianmian, who was in the room next to Shen Ruofei, heard the noise and came out with mooncakes, "Let's eat mooncakes and enjoy the moon together!"
There was joy in her voice.
"Then I'll go get some more snacks!" Yi Xiaoqiu turned around and went back into the house to get food.
Although Shen Ruofei and the others didn't know that she was the boss behind them, she also had to have the awareness of being a boss, right? She had to arrange all the benefits for her employees!
"Then I'll get it too!" Shen Ruofei stood up. She was just thinking that it was boring to eat snacks secretly by herself, but now it's ready. It will be so lively if everyone eats together!
But she was not stupid, so she took some melon seeds and some milk biscuits, unpacked them, put them on a plate, and took them out.
Finally, she couldn't help it and opened two bags of spicy strips and poured them onto the plate. How could she not share such a good thing with her good sister?
At worst, she can just say that she did it herself.
