Vol 2 Chapter 472: Summer food

Time passed in a flash, and in June the school began to issue notices to go to the countryside to pull wheat.
Zhou Jiao had long expected to participate in farm work.
After the Qingming Festival, every time she went home, she saw a lot of vacant land along the way. Farmland was reclaimed inside and outside the walls. She knew that the task would not be easy this summer.
Regarding this event, Zhou Jiao concealed the truth from her father, only saying that her task was not heavy, and for a while, the busy Zhou Xiaozheng was also fooled.
Pulling wheat-it sounds unbelievable, but for so many years, farmers have been reluctant to cut it, and indeed they are pulling wheat.
Why? Except for the most important wheat ears, even the roots are treasures-after the roots are uprooted, the roots are cut off with a guillotine, and the roots can be dried on fire for cooking.
And wheat straw is more useful, such as covering roofs as tiles, draping curtains, and also used to pull grass braids. After the busy farming period, each production brigade will arrange for the women to pinch their pigtails. The grass pigtails can be sold for a lot of money, and the accumulation is also a considerable annual income for the team.
Zhou Jiao and his class three were assigned to the nearby countryside. The farmers who had dealt with the land for a lifetime participated in it. Compared with some students in the school, it was easier to go to remote farms.
Zhou Jiao secretly rejoiced that it didn't take long to get the news. This time, in addition to the students, the cadres and warriors went to the countryside to pull wheat, and the pressure suddenly increased.
When there are more people, there will be competition. As soon as there is competition, there will be positive/extreme points/substances. When there are positive/extreme points/substances, no one dares to be lazy. In such a vicious circle, one has to survive exhaustion.
A hundred or so student children went downhill as soon as it was light.
No matter how Zhang Guoqing protects his daughter-in-law, Zhou Jiao has no special treatment. Today all girls are assigned to draw 3 lords, and there are more boys-5 lords!
In this way, last night there was a female neuropathy who clamored for equality between men and women, and they were evenly divided into 4 long. If it weren't for her untimely birth, Zhou Jiao would definitely slap it over.
Facing Maizi who couldn't see the side, Zhou Jiao closed her eyes fiercely. She is really aggrieved, there is space, what is she doing so much for?
Even if she has more ideas, she can't just run away now. Especially not far from Zhang Guoqing with a worried look.
Zhou Jiao stretched out her fist and protested at him: "Little meaning!"
Zhang Guoqing's eyes were melancholy, and he said with deep meaning: "You are severely anemia, you can't force it, or you will have to go to the hospital again."
The couple was playing the office, and the students listening to the side were worried.
All this made Yi Jiefang on the left raised his head and looked at the sky and rolled his eyes several times. This husband and wife, dog / fart anemia, are still in the hospital? He looked sore.
The most hateful thing is that he must be in the same way, is he also anemic?
"Well, classmates who are in poor health, everyone can help each other as much as possible. Hurry up and work hard. Don't ink, all three classes are open."
Zhou Jiao smiled, learning from everyone to do a good job of protection, and walked to her mission goal.
After the simple "training" of the uncles, Zhou Jiao knew that in order to throw the soil off the roots, every time he pulled a handful of wheat, he had to stand on his right leg, lift his left foot, grasp the wheat with both hands, and beat his feet hard until the soil fell. So far.
But reality told her that it was so tired and painful.
There is a saying called "backache, backache, neck and sleepiness". If you want to understand the meaning of this phrase, welcome to play the game. Zhou Jiao admires the ancestor's word-making language most.
Now she squatted and dialed for a while, then catted to her waist and wanted to rest for a while, but worried that she would not be able to keep up with the progress of others, so she stood up and looked at the distance.
Her hands were so hot and sore. Seeing that the left side was far apart except Zhang Guoqing in the distance, and the right side was far away, Zhou Jiao took the thread gloves and put them on. She was worried that the water would come out late, and that would really be impossible.
The land in the early morning is relatively wet and easy to pull. The more difficult it gets as the sun heats up at noon, and the irritation of the wheat awns on the skin, the sweat keeps shed... This kind of sourness made Zhou Jiao unforgettable.
Zhang Guoqing quickly pulled out for half an hour each time, sneaking up to the little wife, covering her, letting her drink drool, eat a popsicle, and happily nibble herself while not forgetting to help with work.
The young couple worked furtively and amused, and hurriedly avoided when someone came up. It also adds a lot of fun to the boring farm work.
After twelve o'clock at noon, I finally saw the loudspeaker shouting to rest and eat.
After eating two vegetable dumplings, Zhou Jiao handed the rest to Zhang Guoqing, leaning softly under the shade of the tree, looking at the destroyed tree trunk with few leaves, and touching her knee.
Zhang Guoqing asked her in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head. She didn't plan to tell him that this fool did two jobs by one person in the morning. If she hurts again, there will be no cover in the last long, so is she going to help?
"I now somewhat understand why you have to let us become classmates."
Zhang Guoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly. Can he say that he regrets a bit? At first, Zhou Jiao should be allowed to go to work directly. She thought that college life would make her easier, but the reality is not optimistic.
Zhou Jiao smiled comfortingly at him. What the couple thought about each other, it was clear at a glance. Compared with going to work, campus life is really not hard for her.
Now that the situation is like this, you have to go to the countryside to support agriculture even at work. Unless they leave their homeland and leave this land where they are born and raised.
But Zhou Jiao had never felt this way before, let alone her father's existence now. She didn't want to leave these relatives before she was desperate.
After working for ten days in a row, they plucked the wheat on one side, while the team on the other side used a blindfolded donkey to roll over in circles. When the pressure was over, the wheat piled up like a hill.
After finishing the work, I watched the experienced old people on the drying yard use the shovel to raise the field~EbookFREE.me~ The shovel of wheat was lifted into the air, like a rain, and the wheat chaff was blown away by the wind. The wheat grains are piled on one side, piled into golden wheat mountain.
Looking at the harvest, looking at the smiles around them, these are their contributions, and finally, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.
"The first is the carrot, the second is the vegetable."
Without a day's rest, the task that followed was to sow Chinese cabbage in the corn field that was just plucked.
In order to catch up with the growth of Chinese cabbage, it was concentrated on the market in early November.
After nearly a month of busy farming, even if the prepared coarse grains are enough for everyone to eat, the hard farm work still makes everyone lose a lot.
Fortunately, the couple belonged to the physique of not tanning, especially Zhou Jiao cured Ku Xia this time, and the spirits were good, otherwise Zhang Guoqing would not dare to see the old husband.
As soon as the farm work was over and the school had just announced a day off, the eager and eager couple were now back home. They couldn't worry about their sleepiness and hurried home by car.
Since the birth of Ping An, the couple have not left the child for so long. Once back to the compound, before returning home, the two first picked up the screaming peace.
Listening to the voice of my son's milk, talking about the daily routine during this time. Zhou Jiao knew it was over. Maybe even Xiao Wang who drove over to visit her would be implicated this time.
When she got home, Zhou Jiao couldn't take care of drinking saliva first, so she hurried to the bedroom to do maintenance first, and did not forget to ask Xiao Ping to wait to see her grandfather for help.
With the arrival of the hot summer, the office will soon be transferred to the sea. Zhou Xiaozheng was busy arranging meetings while arranging work. It was too late when he saw his daughter's face peeling from the sun.
What can Zhou Xiaozheng do? In addition to distressedly asking the health doctor to deal with the scars on the hands of the two children immediately, only a sigh was more of pride-his child stood up fearlessly before all difficulties.
