Chapter 42

"Go forward and forward, our team is moving forward, stepping on the motherland's land..." Thousands of people sang the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Song" and set off from the school gate.


It is four o'clock in the morning. All the students of Peking University are all gathered together. All the students are in long dresses and trousers. The girls have straw hats in their hands. There are bright smiles on everyone's faces, and everyone is full of energy, without the slightest sleepiness. Although the sun has not yet risen, the bright moon and twinkling stars also light up the road. The flag held high by each class was fluttering in the breeze, and the students were full of enthusiasm, walking on the road to the countryside.


Late May to mid-June is the busiest season for farmers. The rapeseed and wheat that were sown the year before have matured, so we need to quickly shoot into the warehouse. Immediately afterwards, the most important rice of the year came to the planting season. Especially in May and June is the rainy season. God's face is like a child. I don't know when it will rain heavily.


If the mature wheat in the field is not taken back before the heavy rain falls, after a heavy rain, almost all the wheat will fall to the ground, and it will sprout when the rain is soaked. Sprouted wheat can't be eaten, so it will reduce the yield. At this time of the year, Peking University will organize teachers and students to go to the countryside to help.


The location they chose this time was the five-star brigade in Haidian Town, not too far from the school. The teachers and students of Peking University walked all the way, and when they arrived, it was less than five o'clock.


When they arrived, someone from the Five Star Brigade was already waiting there. The school leaders stepped forward, and after a conversation between the two sides, the students in the entire school divided into four directions and proceeded with the department as a unit.


Xu Ning and the others walked to the north, until they stopped at a large open space. Smelling the scent in the air, everyone started to rebel. They came out in the morning and haven't eaten breakfast yet.


"Everyone rests in place, and a few people from each class come up to receive breakfast. This is something the villagers made specially for everyone early in the morning because they were afraid that everyone would be hungry. The students had to work harder when they had breakfast. Ah." The dean of the department shouted, standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a loudspeaker.


"Okay." There was breakfast, and the students shouted one by one. The folks from the Five-Star Brigade stood on the side and looked at the students grinning. The happiest thing is to count the children in the village. I have never seen such a lively scene, one by one around the side and enjoying themselves.


After breakfast, genius is slightly brighter. The students were divided into three waves, one for harvesting wheat, one for transportation, and one for drying. Xu Ning was assigned the job of drying, and it was the easiest to compare the other two.


In the 1970s, all wheat was harvested manually, and there were no harvesters at this time. After the wheat has been cut, people have to pick it ashore again and again, and then use a cart to pull it to the wheat field. When you arrive at the wheat field, spread the wheat out and expose it to the sun. When it is almost dried, use cattle to pull stone rollers and grind them round and round on the wheat field until the wheat falls off.


Because the wheat hasn't been cut down yet, Xu Ning and others naturally don't need to dry anything. But just sitting in the wheat field and waiting is not enough, so you still need to go down and help harvest at this time.


Holding sickles, bend down in a row. Everyone is eager to win. Everyone is stubborn and cuts hard. Those who move fast will soon end up in a row. At this time, the first person to reach the end will stand up straight and look at the person behind with a triumphant expression. The others were not to be outdone, and the sickle danced quickly, trying to overtake when they returned.


At this time, whether you were born in the city or in the countryside, you are very proficient in these farming tasks. Looking around, Xu Ning is still the slowest. Cutting wheat looks easy, but it is actually a technical job. Xu Ning has never done it before, and he still knows how to cut the most labor-saving and fastest way, relying on the little memory left by the original owner. But that's all theoretical, and it's very difficult to operate in practice. Therefore, when she was halfway through the cut, even if the waist was not working well, and she had cut a hole without a sickle in her hand, she did not say anything, and directly got some dirt from the wheat field and stuck it on it.


"Xiao Liu, let me do the rest. You can help Yanan build wheat, and then just go back with the car." Zhu Chengfeng cut a row and looked back. Everyone else has almost cut it, so Xiao Liuyi Personally, a long tail is left behind. When Zhu Chengfeng saw her hard work, she knew that she didn't know how to cut. Although it is strange why the small six who was born in the countryside can't cut wheat, it is not the time to ask this, so I didn't ask.


Xu Ning was also very embarrassed to see that everyone around him had already gone to the old front. She has worked very hard and has been immersed in her work, without rest for a minute. The arms were already sore, and there were no traces of leaves cut on his face, and when the sweat came down, it was hot and painful.


There are so many people and great strength, and in just a short while, all these three acres of land have been brought down. After everyone took a break and drank thirsty saliva, the three groups of people began to divide their work.


Several girls in Xu Ning pushed and pulled all the carts of wheat to the wheat field. The wheat field was cleaned up in the morning, and Xu Ning and the others just carried the wheat down and laid it out. At this time, the benefits of wearing long clothes and trousers came out. If you wear short sleeves, you can hold a cart of wheat and your arms will be almost the same.


"There's another car here, everyone quickly prepare." Only when a car was laid out, I just walked down and my buttocks were not hot yet, and I saw a car full of cars coming from a distance. I thought it was easy to dry, but I didn't expect it to be very tiring. When I hugged it up and down, I often had to bend over, and it was no better than the people they harvested.


As time passed, the sun in the sky became bigger and bigger, and the people who were tanning were dizzy. They ran around on this concrete floor, and the people were just like fished out of the water. There was nothing dry on their bodies. What made Xu Ning even more sad was itching. She was itchy all over, and she didn't dare to scratch. They were like this, they would only scratch and itchy.


Not only Xu Ning and the others, but the other classmates are the same. At the beginning, there were people talking and laughing. Now, everyone has their heads buried and said nothing, hoping to harvest them quickly, and they can also end their rest early.


The only good news is that the school leaders have already spoken on the radio. There is no meal ticket for lunch today. Everyone can eat as much as they want, and the school will take care of it. This news made all the students who were a bit negative just now enthusiastic again, and the speed of harvesting set off again.


"Fortunately, you don't need a meal ticket for lunch today, otherwise the meal ticket I brought will definitely not be enough." A girl said next to Xu Ning. She brought a two-two-two meal ticket. Usually, it only takes two or two to eat. Today, I thought of the large amount of labor, so I deliberately brought a little more. It's just that she now obviously feels that there are still too few three-twos.


"Haha, I came empty-handed and didn't bring anything. I guessed it. The school will definitely not collect a meal ticket for dinner today. It was hard to organize a school-wide activity, and it was still such a labor-intensive activity. The school was too embarrassed to let Let's do it by our students." This is what a wise man said.


Xu Ning put the armful of wheat in her hand, stood up straight and said, "I don't know if there are meat dishes at noon today. If there is meat, it would be better." She had never thought about it before, and sometimes she wanted to eat meat. . Think about it before, I like to chew on some bones, and the lean meat is too much, and I don't think it tastes good. Thinking about the previous meat, she couldn't help but want to drool.


"You think it's pretty beautiful, and you don't want to think about how many of us we have. A piece of meat for one person requires a lot of meat." Another girl thought Xu Ning was completely idiotic and dreaming. They are thousands of people and really make meat for them. Three pigs are not enough. I don't know if the credit for today's day is as high as three pigs.


Facts have proved that Xu Ning is really not a foolish dream. When eating at noon, the Red Star brigade brought out a big pot with pork stewed vermicelli, and each student carried his own bowl to beat it. Although not many, there is a small bowl per person.


In one morning, several thousand students had cut more than half of the wheat in the Five-Star Brigade. There was not much left, so after everyone had lunch, the school leaders asked the students to rest for a while. Wait until the sun is not so powerful before starting to work.


Before five o'clock in the afternoon, all the wheat from the entire five-star brigade was brought down and transported to the wheat field. The rest is left to the brigade itself, and Xu Ning and the others follow the same team and return from the same way.


Although everyone was dirty, everyone was in good spirits, and from time to time there was singing from the team. Hearing the front of the law department singing "Return of Targeting", Xu Ning and his literature department were not to be outdone. Under the leadership of the department head Wang Bin, they shouted "Unity is strength", "Unity is strength, and this strength is iron." This power is steel,,,,,, "Accompanied by the loud singing, the students returned to the campus mightily.


"Students, everyone is tired today. I won't go to self-study tonight. Go back and take a good rest. After you go back, remember to soak your feet in hot water, otherwise you will suffer tomorrow." After arriving at school, each class will be provided by instructors. Bring it back. Li Weifang looked at the students in front of him and shouted.


Xu Ning nodded and answered. She now hopes that the teacher will enlarge her home as soon as possible, and she feels terribly uncomfortable, so she wants to go back and take a good bath. So, once the counselor said that everyone could go back, she pulled up her leg and ran to the dormitory. Today everyone has been busy for a day, everyone is sweating and they have to take a shower. There are only a few bathrooms, the girls take a slow shower, and I don't know when to wait until they are late.
