Chapter 171 Exhausted
Hou Chao was still very happy, "No problem. If you come here, you can tell the guard my name directly and say you are my distant niece."
Wen Xin agreed.
After seeing Hou Chao leave, Wen Xin returned to the space with two big bags of meat. I sorted the meat and put some pork, beef and lamb chops into the bag before taking it out.
When Wen Xin carried her things to the place they agreed on, she found that everyone else had already arrived and she was the only one left, so she quickly walked over.
Seeing Wen Xin come back, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Xinxin, what happened to you there?"
Wen Xin said, "No, something good happened to me. Look, this is the meat I grabbed, and there are also beef and mutton."
The voice was so low that they had to be close together to hear it.
Zhang Yingying was the first to say excitedly, "Really? That's great. I haven't eaten beef yet."
At this time, cattle are the real productivity. No one dares to kill cattle before this time, let alone ordinary people eat meat.
Wang Yumei was more cautious and immediately tightened her bag and said, "Put it away quickly. We'll take a look when we get back. There are so many people here."
Zhao Wanqing also said, "That's right. We have almost bought everything. Let's go have a meal and then we can go back."
Several people carried their things and went to the state-owned hotel.
When we arrived, we met Wang Aiguo and others.
"Brother Wang, you are here to eat too." Wang Yumei greeted.
"Yeah, you go and order food first, it's much more delicious today." Wang Aiguo said.
Wen Xin and the others were also unambiguous. They immediately found seats and went to order food.
Sure enough, today there are pot-wrapped pork, twice-cooked pork, pickled cabbage dumplings, and fried garlic sprouts on the menu today.
Wen Xin and the others came back after ordering. Wang Aiguo and the others had already eaten and left. They said they wanted to go shopping again and were anxious.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After finishing the meal, they bought dumplings and planned to take them home to eat.
When we returned to the educated youth center, everyone was exhausted.
Put the bike away and put the meat in it.
They agreed that during the summer harvest, Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing would take turns cooking. Wang Yumei and Zhang Yingying would provide their own rations, as well as other vegetables or meat. In addition, they also gave Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing money.
On the third day of rest, the summer harvest will officially begin.
Zhao Wanqing cooked mung bean soup in advance.
Because of the summer harvest, school classes are only held for half a day every day. In the afternoon, not only the teachers, but also the students will help with the work.
On the first day of summer harvest, the captain gave a speech. It just means that for everyone's food rations, we can't be lazy, we still have to harvest the wheat as soon as possible, otherwise we are afraid it will rain later.
After explaining a great truth, the people below listened in one ear and out the other.
Because of the difference in physical strength between men and women, most men cut the wheat and women tie it behind.
Most of the educated youths are grouped together and can cooperate better.
After class in the morning, Wen Xin and others returned to the educated youth spot and hurriedly cooked. There was no time for a lunch break after eating, and they had to go to work.
Lin Hongyu was also grouped with them, which was her own strong request.
Wen Xin plans to make stir-fried pork, stewed radish balls, and stir-fry shredded potatoes today.
As soon as they finished cooking, Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei came back.
Wen Xin quickly greeted, "Wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."
The two of them immediately went to wash their hands and wash their hands.
Zhang Yingying said, "I was quite full from what I had eaten this morning, but I didn't expect that I am so hungry now that I want to eat everything I see."
Zhao Wanqing poured a cup of mung bean soup for the two of them and said, "This work is tiring and will consume a lot of money. Come on, this is the mung bean soup I made in the morning. Let's drink some first to get rid of the heat."
Wen Xin has also laid out the food.
After eating, Zhang Yingying said, "Xinxin, Wanqing, you two should wear gloves when you go in the afternoon. You have to wear long sleeves."
Wang Yumei added, "Yes, it's best to wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun, and tie up your trousers."
Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing both nodded.
After eating, they went back and lay down for half an hour to take a rest.
Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing packed up the dishes and went to get their equipment.
Wearing a straw hat, a mask around his face, long sleeves and trousers, the cuffs were tied tightly.
When we went in the afternoon, Zhao Wanqing filled a pot of mung bean soup for everyone.
The educated youth ordered four male educated youths, who were responsible for cutting the wheat in front. Wen Xin, Zhao Wanqing, Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei were tied up in the back.
Lin Hongyu was a good worker. She was also cutting the wheat in front of her at a whooshing speed. Li Qian followed her and bundled the wheat.
It takes a long time to really work.
Wen Xin would stand up and move around from time to time, but she kept bending over and felt a little uncomfortable.
As soon as she raised her head, her eyes were filled with golden light. Wen Xin had only seen this scene in textbooks before, and the books wrote about the joy of harvest.
Wen Xin looked at herself in a state of embarrassment and sweating profusely on her forehead, feeling both joyful and hard at the same time. No wonder almost all the people in the village bought meat. They couldn't survive without eating something rich in oil and water.
Looking at the wheat in front of her, Wen Xin threw away distracting thoughts and concentrated on her work.
After a busy afternoon, Wen Xin could hardly lift her arms, and her hands were still shaking. But when I looked up, I saw that not even half of the progress of the villagers could keep up.
Zhao Wanqing was also wailing beside her, "Xinxin, I'm so tired. I can hardly lift my arms, and my waist hurts so much."
Zhang Yingying came over and pulled her up and said, "Get up and take a walk. When you go back, soak your hands and feet with hot water. It's best to massage your arms too, otherwise tomorrow will be too uncomfortable."
Lin Hongyu came over and looked at them with painful faces, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Wen Xin looked at her and asked, "Hongyu, aren't you tired?"
Lin Hongyu said nonchalantly, "I'm used to it." After speaking, she reacted and asked, "It's your first day and you haven't gotten used to it yet. Remember to use hot water when you go back and rub your arms, otherwise it will hurt even more tomorrow."
On the way back, several people supported each other.
The male educated youths are also very tired. They have to keep swinging the sickle, control the speed, and be careful not to hurt themselves. They are also very tired.
After arriving at the place, there was still warm water in the pot. Wang Yumei scooped it out for them and let them soak their hands.
She and Zhang Yingying went to prepare dinner.
Zhao Wanqing took advantage of Wen Xin's lack of attention and put spiritual spring water into the water, which would have a much better effect.
Wen Xin actually saw it, but pretended not to. After finishing the bath, she said, "Wanqing, I feel a little better."
Zhao Wanqing also nodded seriously, "Yeah, I think so too. Then let's take a dip every day when we come back."
After entering the house, the meal was just ready.
Wang Yumei greeted them, "Okay, come and eat."
The meal for the four of them was very delicious, and no one spoke during the meal, so they really couldn't care less.
