Chapter 26: Busy farming

One weekend in April, Li Jianbo brought back good news. He passed the physics competition in the province, and he also won the first place.
Li Minghua and his wife didn't have any special performance after knowing this, as if their son was a commonplace in the first morning in the exam, they were not surprised at all. Only Li Wei felt that her second brother was very powerful, and clamored to celebrate Li Jianbo.
Her cooking skills were not as good as Liu Chunzhi, so she had to make a bowl of fried egg noodles for Li Jianbo.
Li Jianbo ate the steaming noodles brought by his sister, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Li Minghua always cares about the eldest son. He inquires about Li Jianping through Li Jianbo.
Jianbo said: "Dad, eldest brother, he is okay. Don't worry, you came to see me at school on Wednesday morning and gave me living expenses."
Liu Chunzhi was surprised: "Is he really making money?"
Li Jianbo smiled and said: "Naturally there will be no fakes. Big brother, he is old and sensible, so don't worry. Maybe you can save a lot of money in a year or a half."
Liu Chunzhi said: "Finally, don't expect him to have this little money, just do what he can, don't let us worry about it."
In Li Jianbo's opinion, the eldest brother finally took the right path, and the only sister did not go wrong, everything was proceeding according to his plan.
Soon it came to May Day. May Day was supposed to have a day off, but all the students in the town came from the countryside, and they caught up with the busy period of the farming period. The school swiped a big pen and gave three more days of farming leave. , Plus weekends, a total of five days off.
Although it was a rare holiday, it was harder for Li Wei than going to school. Just in time for the wheat to mature, we must rush to take the wheat back home, because after the wheat is harvested, the gate will be opened to water the wheat fields and ready to plant seedlings. It took only half a month.
There is only one day off at Li Jianbo's school. It is said that something will not come back. Li Jianping is not at home this year. All the farm work at home falls on three people.
It was early these days, and Liu Chunzhi knocked on the door to wake her up before Li Wei was fully awake. She put on her clothes in a daze. The short hair that was originally equal to her ears has now grown to the length of her neck. She grabbed a monkey rubber band and tied a small wand.
I rinsed my mouth, grabbed Liu Chunzhi's big steamed buns made last night, and gnawed a few bites. I lost my white porridge and pickles. Breakfast was just like that. Then he poured a pot of boiling water, took a sickle and followed Liu Chunzhi and the others to the wheat field.
Li Wei used to be a golden branch and jade leaf. But in the morning, my hands were stabbed a lot by the stubble, and my waist was too tired to straighten up.
As the sun got higher and higher, she lowered the straw hat on her head, still not daring to relax for a while and continue to be busy cutting the wheat.
Li Ming's country was separated from their home by two ridges. Li took a look, but saw Li Xia sitting on the ridge and shaking the wind of the pu fan. Zhang Weihong was not seen, and Li Mingguo was a busy young man. Judging from his stature, he was still tall. It was definitely not Guo Qiang. Only in the past few days, Li Xia changed people.
"You're lazy again, you won't be able to harvest the land without cutting this piece of land today." Liu Chunzhi urged.
In fact, they are the only two mothers and daughters responsible for harvesting the wheat. Li Minghua is sweating and carrying the harvested wheat stalks to his home.
Li Wei clenched his teeth for a day, feeling that the bones were about to fall apart, but this was the first day. This is like living in purgatory for another four days.
I was so tired and sore when I got home and couldn't fall asleep right away. I had to cook with Liu Chunzhi and wait for the livestock that I was feeding at home.
After dinner, she can still take out the homework in her schoolbag to write. Obviously it was a busy farm holiday, but the teachers seemed to be in a competition, each doing more homework than each.
Li Wei scribbled the words for a while, and had to do two English test papers, but she got up too early in the morning and did not get a nap at noon. She was too sleepy to open her eyes for a while.
After Liu Chunzhi was busy, he walked to the room and saw that Li Wei had fallen asleep on the table at some point. Liu Chunzhi stepped forward and patted her daughter on the back, and Li Wei rubbed his eyes, still yawning.
"Why do I fall asleep?"
"Are you up at 11 soon?"
Li Wei stretched his waist and said, "No, there is still a lot of homework. I will write for a while."
Liu Chunzhi said: "Then you can continue to write, but don't be too late, I have to call you again tomorrow morning." Liu Chunzhi dropped this sentence and left.
In order to avoid falling asleep again, Li Wei went to Li Jianping's room and brought the radio over. There was a battery in it, and she could listen to it only by turning on the button.
She dialed the antenna and tuned a radio station that played music, listening to the song while writing homework.
The singing was melodious, and she scribbled in her pen. After twenty minutes, she finally finished copying the words. The rest is the test paper. She unfolded the paper and tried to read the words clearly, but the handwriting was blurred, her physical strength had reached its limit.
Li Wei gave up, turned off the radio, too late to collect the books, and climbed into bed to get ready to sleep.
In her sleep, she returned to when she was in Shangshufu, sitting by the lotus pond at home, surrounded by her old sisters. It’s not fun to enjoy the flowers and snacks together, but dreams are always interrupted.
She was still awakened by Liu Chunzhi, but the sky was too bright, and she had to repeat yesterday's fatigue. Li Wei didn't know whether she could get up after five days, but she was afraid that she would peel off if she died.
After another day, at noon on the third day, Li Wei was working in the field. Suddenly, he felt severe pain in his lower abdomen, and something hot came out of his legs.
Such a familiar feeling made her understand immediately, and she was in luck. It was the first time she encountered such a thing in this era.
Li Wei clutched her lower abdomen and snorted twice. Liu Chunzhi only pretended to be sick when her daughter, but when she looked back and saw that Li Wei's pants were also dyed red, she immediately walked over to support her, and said concerned: Are you ok?"
"Mom, I'm not feeling well."
"It's okay." Liu Chunzhi rarely showed gentleness to her daughter. She took a coat for Li Wei and told her: "If you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest first. Don't touch the cold water. I taught you before. Yes, would you use paper pads?"
Li Wei nodded palely.
She finally got a rest because of the sudden arrival of the monthly report.
Although it is a rest, all the work in the field belongs to Li Minghua and his wife. She can't do nothing at home. The housework falls on her. After finishing the housework, she has to do homework.
The menarche lasted intermittently for three days before it ended. For her, this body is really a big girl, because she has had previous experience, coupled with the knowledge of biology books, she has no such panic and fear.
