Chapter 174 Grabbing

After eating, Zhang Yingying said, "Wanqing, let's clean up here. Go and get the watermelon."

That posture was anxious and exciting.

Wang Yumei also smiled and said, "Wanqing, don't worry about it here, we will take care of it."

Wen Xin joined in the fun and said, "Yes, yes, there are three of us here, and you will be in charge of the watermelon."

Seeing that they had been thinking about watermelon since the afternoon, Zhao Wanqing readily agreed.

Zhang Yingying happily started to clear away the dishes.

After several people vacated the table, Zhao Wanqing also came in holding a watermelon.

After cutting it, the aroma was fragrant, and she quickly cut it and put it on the table.

"Okay, let's eat."

Before he finished speaking, several hands quickly picked up the watermelon on the table and started eating it.

Zhao Wanqing also ate it herself.

Zhang Yingying gave a thumbs up while eating.

Because the watermelon I took out was not very big, it was just enough for four people, so there wasn’t much left.

After Wen Xin finished eating, she wiped her mouth and said, "Wanqing, this watermelon is so delicious."

Zhang Yingying couldn't help but nod, "Yes, it's very sweet, it quenches thirst and relieves heat."

Zhao Wanqing was very happy to see that her food was liked, "Then let's eat another one the day after tomorrow."

After the agreement was made, they went back to rest.

Next is school as usual in the morning, and work in the afternoon.

Lin Daya didn't come to work for three days. After all, her work points were deducted for three days. Whether she came or not didn't affect her. But I kept hearing Zhang Xiaocui's cursing voice in the field.

Wen Xin ignored it. Neither the person being scolded nor the person being scolded felt that there was a problem, so he just joined in the fun.

After working so hard for a few days, Wen Xin lost all the weight she had gained before.

I looked at the weather and it was absolutely scorching hot.

The words of the captain are still ringing in my ears. Everyone, take advantage of the good weather these days and work as quickly as possible. We will hand over and distribute food as soon as possible. It may rain in the next few days. Don’t let the wheat rot in the ground. Everyone, please work harder. Son.

Wen Xin looked at the sunshine these past few days and didn't expect it would rain later. Several people had already suffered from heatstroke, so it was better for the village’s barefoot doctor to make a decoction for everyone to drink.

Wen Xin asked Aunt Guihua who was working next to her, "Aunt, I think the sun is so poisonous. Will it rain again?"

Aunt Guihua straightened up and explained, "Don't look at how bright the sun is these days. The old people in the village will check the weather. According to them, the weather is unusually hot and muggy, and there will definitely be a heavy rainstorm later."

Wen Xin nodded, expressing her understanding. It was the wisdom of our ancestors.

The captain and the secretary were discussing anxiously in the office.

"I think there is no need to rush to harvest now. The weather has been good these days."

"But the work in the fields is very busy these days. If we don't rush to harvest, what will happen if it rains heavily? Aren't we doomed?"

"But, how to tell the villagers? If it doesn't rain, we can't explain it."

"Just say directly that we are afraid of heavy rain later and we need to harvest now. If something goes wrong then, I will be responsible."

The captain's words were categorical.

The secretary had no choice but to agree. He was actually worried, but he was afraid that the villagers would resist and did not dare to implement it easily.

When work was about to end in the afternoon, the team leader struck the assembly gong.

When everyone arrived, the team leader said, "I have something to tell you. The weather has been very hot these days, and we think there may be heavy rains in the future. In order to have a good harvest of our food, the village decided to carry out rush harvesting. We will do it as soon as possible." Hand over the mission rations, and then distribute the rations to everyone. Starting tomorrow, we will have to work hard for everyone."

As soon as these words came out, the following immediately started to chirp.

Some agree and some disagree.

Those who disagreed wanted to scream, but were stopped by their family members. This was a major matter related to their own food. Regardless of whether this was a possibility, they had to be considered.

People from the Educated Youth Institute are also discussing.

Wang Aiguo said, "I see that the weather is unusually hot. What the team leader said makes sense."

Lin Kai said, "How was the weather during your summer harvest?"

He Dong replied, "It was hot before, but not as muggy and humid as this year."

Listening to their discussion, Wen Xin roughly understood. It seemed that many people were aware of the abnormal weather this year.

The captain waited for everyone to finish the discussion and then said, "Okay, we will start harvesting tomorrow. We will discuss the issue of food among ourselves. During this period, the work points will be doubled. After the completion, we will eat pig meat."

After saying that, he left immediately.

On the way back, Wen Xin was still thinking about this issue and didn't even hear Zhao Wanqing talking to her.

"Xinxin, Xinxin, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Wanqing patted Wen Xin on the shoulder.

Wen Xin came back to her senses and said, "I was thinking about what the captain just said. I guess the school will be on holiday during this period."

Li Qian next to her also nodded, "I guess so, there should be news later."

When I returned to the Educated Youth Home and just started cooking, there was a knock on the door.

After opening the door, it was Lin Dongze, "Sister Qian, could you please call Wanqing and Teacher Wen out? I'll call Lin Hongyu first."

Li Qian nodded, "Okay."

When everyone was gathered, Lin Dongze said, "Due to the rush to collect goods, the school will be closed for the next few days, so starting from tomorrow, we will all have to work all day."

When the others heard the news, they were mentally prepared and nodded in agreement.

After finishing the matter, Lin Dongze only stared at Zhao Wanqing, and the others left first.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Lin Dongze took Zhao Wanqing's hand and said softly, "Wanqing, it's quite tiring to collect the goods. Remember to do what you can and don't be too pushy. I will go over and help you."

Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "I know, don't always worry about me. I know it well. You've been tired these past few days, so remember to take a good rest."

Lin Dongze grinned, "Okay, I understand."

When Zhao Wanqing returned, Wen Xin had already prepared the meal. Seeing her coming in, she joked, "Are you willing to come back?"

Zhao Wanqing blushed immediately and said, "We are just chatting. Besides, we are all in the same village. What is there to be reluctant about?"

Wen Xin covered her mouth and snickered, "Okay, come and eat. Sister Yingying and Yumei are waiting for us."

Going over to the table, they were both ready and waiting for the meal.

The four of them chatted while eating, and after dinner they re-divided the work of cooking for lunch.

Since Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing also had to work full time now, the four of them took turns cooking and taking them to the fields to eat at noon. In the evening, we continued to work together as usual.

The tacit understanding between several people has been cultivated, and there will be no contradiction in these matters.

In addition, Zhao Wanqing took the initiative to take charge of everyone's water bottles. In fact, she also wanted to secretly add some spiritual spring water to everyone to replenish their health.
