Chapter 508: Being stabbed in the spine for a lifetime is not worth it
Zhou Xi chose to remain silent on this topic. It was okay for her to not say anything, as her money was being used!
After everyone left, Old Zhang continued to curse, this time specifically scolding Zhou Xi...
A mother's love disappears so fast like a tornado. Zhang Jiang used to think that his mother and Zhou Xi were a rare good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the village, but now it seems that he was too early to say that.
They got up at five in the morning and were still unloading wheat at eight. Xu Shiqing could no longer hold on and leaned limply against Shen Lu.
"No, I feel like I can fall asleep right away if I lie down on the ground now."
Shen Lu is a little stronger than her. The body-strengthening pills can indeed make the body less tired, but they cannot control mental fatigue.
"Here we are, hurry up and unload the car, then go home, take a shower and go to bed~"
Seeing Su Chen and Xie Yao pushing the carts over, the two of them cheered up. It was finally the last cart. This high-intensity work really made Shen Lu sigh.
"Hey, you and I are both cattle and horses~"
Su Chen was pushing the cart over and added,
"Stop talking about that. In this day, even cows and horses, not even donkeys, might not have done as much as I did..."
"That's true. After all, a donkey can't hold a sickle~"
Okay, okay, that's what I meant. Su Chen pretended to push the car towards Shen Lu, and Shen Lu hid behind Xu Shiqing. Xie Yao put the car aside and watched the three of them playing with a smile.
Look at her a few more times, if you don't look at her now you won't be able to see her again today. There is no time to talk about love all day long. He is reluctant to take her out for a walk at this time, mainly because he is busy and doesn't have time.
This year is the first year for the young educated youth to harvest wheat. He feels very proud that he has managed to make it through. He didn't expect that a girl who looks frail can actually work so skillfully.
His mother also praised the little educated youth to him every day at home, saying that this little girl was really good, not spoiled or pretentious, and sensible. His father also nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied with the little educated youth.
Normally, when they were assigned to work together, Gu Xiulan would persuade the girl that she could work harder on what she liked and there was no need to work too hard on farm work.
Seeing that it was getting late, the young educated youth still had to take a shower, wash clothes, and do a lot of other things. Xie Yao hurriedly urged the three of them,
"Stop messing around, the three of you go back first, I'll do the rest."
Afraid that the young educated youth would overthink, he added,
"I can't take you back, I have to keep watch here tonight"
To be precise, there have been people guarding it since the first truckload of wheat was transported. There are people at the edge of the field, on the road, and in the field. Every year at this time, people are specially arranged to guard it.
In order to prevent embezzlement, several major families in their village selected a few of the most stable and trustworthy middle-aged people.
In the end, it would be enough to leave one person from each surname to watch over the scene. In addition, the village chief's house is here, which can calm the villagers' thoughts.
If you dare to have any evil thoughts, you must be prepared to be caught. If you are caught, it will be a big deal and you will no longer be able to stand in the village. It is not worth it to be stabbed in the back for a little food all your life!
In the past few years, Xie Jianmin came alone. Xie Yao came to take his place to guard at night starting from the year before last. His father was not young anymore and could not bear to work all night and the next day.
He watched the three people until Xie Yao could no longer see him before turning back to start turning the wheat. Watching the field was not just about finding a place to sit, he also had to spread out all the wheat he had brought to dry.
It is impossible to dry the wheat at night, so it has to be left to dry. When these grown men leave tomorrow morning, we will arrange for a few people to come and turn the wheat regularly so that it can be fully exposed to the sun.
One basin of water per person was obviously not enough tonight, and the wheat tips on their bodies had to be washed off using most of the basin. At this time, Shen Lu was very envious of the male educated youth.
They can go directly to the river to wash. At this time, the river is full of men and women from the village, and the river water washes them clean.
After Shen Lu finished queuing up to take a shower and returned to the house, she was not done yet. She quickly ran to the bathroom to wash and blow-dry her hair. She moved a lazy sofa to the air-conditioned shopping mall and lay down before she felt relieved.
It has been said since ancient times that farmers have hard work. If you don’t agree, come and try it for a day. I will definitely not stand for stubbornness!
"Fatty, I can't face people anymore. Look at how dark I am~"
Holding a mirror and looking at it, Shen Lu felt like crying the more she looked at it. She had managed to keep her face white with great difficulty.
I feel like I got a little darker today, but there’s no way to avoid it, the UV rays are just too strong, and applying eight layers of sunscreen is useless.
Even wearing a hat is much better than not wearing one, but it’s still dark…
Shen Lu even suspected that she was not tanned, but burnt! !
But she would comfort herself. After all, even Xu Shiqing has been blackened a lot. Even someone favored by God has been blackened. She is a small supporting role, so she deserves to be blackened!
It would be a miracle if I can't get tanned in this kind of sun.
She didn't notice the small red bumps on her arms and hands until it got dark, because there were too many wheat awns that pricked her clothes.
She gets a headache thinking about having to do laundry early tomorrow morning. She has a washing machine, but she can't use it. Everyone is going to do laundry tomorrow, so why don't you?
It's a bit unkind of to say that I washed it myself in the house. We all know that it is difficult to wash it at the river because it has wheat tips. If you have to wash it in a basin, it will take a lot of water.
Xie Yao must be busy these days, and Chef Su is still in charge of cooking. Shen Lu couldn't bear to add more work to him to fetch more water.
Forget it, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It’s so cool by the river in the morning. Let’s go!
The next morning Ouyang Hua asked He Yan to ask for leave for him. He couldn't wait any longer and had to go and see if he had received any letter from his father.
He Yan sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster all day long. If he doesn't find a way to solve the problem, he will be annoyed to death!
Ouyang Hua was stopped before he even left the gate of the Youth League Center.
"It's no use asking anyone for leave. The village chief said at the meeting that we should finish what we need to do before the wheat harvest. Once we start, we will not be allowed to take leave, regardless of the reason, except for injury!"
The post office doesn't open until after eight o'clock, and Ouyang Hua won't be back until ten o'clock at the earliest. How can we calculate the work lost in these four hours?
Besides, getting the letter is not something that will delay important matters just by one day. Liu Lanjiang has already promised it during the meeting. What does Ouyang Hua want to do now!
Ouyang Hua had no legitimate reason, so he could only return home feeling aggrieved. What he told He Yan was that he wanted to see if his family had sent him any money, so He Yan was very concerned about this matter.
The amount of money is directly related to how their small family lives. She definitely hopes that Ouyang Hua's parents can give her as much as possible.
"Then wait a bit. There's no point in being anxious. If dad gives it to you, it won't be lost. I'll go with you to get it after the wheat harvest is over."
When the time comes, she will have to keep it directly and definitely not give it to Ouyang Hua.
"By the way, why don't you give me your money first? Hey, don't look at me like that. I don't spend money recklessly. I'm the one cooking today, so I'll buy you two eggs to scramble for dinner~"
