I am studying and eating melons in Chronicle

Chapter 5 Systems
"Educated youth comrades, we resolutely implement the party's leadership, let the educated youth comrades receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, and let the educated youth comrades make great achievements in the vast land of the motherland..."

Captain Zhao spoke the clichés that are necessary every year on the stage. The old educated youths were tired of listening, but they had to stand obediently under the sun and listen.

Qian Li stepped on her toes, played with her braids loosely, and talked to Chu Songlan: "How long will it take?"

Chu Songlan: "Listen, it's better to just go to the fields and work after a while. If you work like you for a while, you will have back pain."

Qian Li wanted to refute her, but she couldn't think of anything to say, because she really didn't want to work, so she had to respond disgruntled.

Chu Songlan is calm, she has a medicine field at home, and she is very familiar with working in the field.

She looked at Yunling's fair skin, and handed her a pair of labor gloves, "You have to buy a hat when you go back, or you will burn your skin sooner or later."

Yunling took it over, took her arm, and smiled softly, "You still have experience."

Qian Li saw it, pouted her lips, said with a bit of coquettishness, and hummed twice: "Why didn't you give it to me?"

Chu Songlan sighed secretly, it was her bad luck to be entangled by her, so she resigned to her fate and took out the other pair she had prepared, "Here you are, remember to buy it back and return it to me later."

Qian Li happily took it, shaking her head, "Sure, I won't be greedy for a pair of gloves."

See, this is the benefit of finding a backer!

The team leader rambled on and said a long paragraph of seemingly inspiring words, but most people didn't listen to them in their hearts.

"The old educated youths returned to their respective labor positions, and the new educated youths followed me."

Captain Zhao led the six of them to the field, pointed to the endless crops and said: "Our main food is corn, wheat and rice. The wheat has been harvested. The wheat field you were in just now is the wheat field. Spring corn will be harvested in August." The harvest has been completed, the autumn corn just started not long ago, and the rice too. Six of you, three of you will go to the corn field, and three of you will go to the rice field, does anyone want to voluntarily sign up?"

September to October is the time for the busy autumn harvest, and it is just beginning now, so it is not too tiring, and it will be difficult until mid-September, and this group of young people don't know if they can handle it.

Yunling thought about it, and felt that she would rather go to the densely packed corn field to break the corn than bend over to harvest the rice.

"I'm going to the cornfield." Hearing that she wanted to go to the cornfield, Chu Silan and Qian Li hurriedly followed and said that they would also go to the cornfield.

Captain Zhao thought about it for a while, and the corn harvest is not busy now, so it is appropriate for female educated youths to go, and most of the women in their village also go to the corn fields.

"Then the three of you go to the rice fields, do you have any objections?"

The three men have no objections, where are they going to work?

When Yunling and the others arrived at the cornfield, they saw Aunt Wu, who greeted them warmly and continued to break the corn one by one.

There were four teams in the cornfield, three female educated youths were assigned to three of them, and the remaining team was led by Aunt Li who I just met yesterday.

Seeing this, Aunt Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Lao Zhao still has a good eye, so he didn't give Lao Li's family an educated youth."

As soon as Yunling heard that something was going on, she took out the sunflower seeds she had prepared earlier from her pocket and stuffed them for Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu was happy: "Hey, your kid is quite good."

It turns out that this girl has peach blossom eyes, and when she is not smiling, her eyes are cold and indifferent, so I thought she was a difficult person to get along with.As a result, seeing her smile today, her eyes are crooked, the water is shining brightly, and a pair of tricks can seduce people's souls, completely making people drown in the spring water, how can there be nobility and indifference? temperament.

When Yunling came here yesterday, she saw a group of women who were about to leave work gathering together to eat melon seeds, so she took a bag with her before going to work today.

Aunt Zhao gossips while eating melon seeds, and she doesn't miss the work in hand, "You don't know, when the team of educated youths came last year, they were assigned in the same way. It was the team led by Lao Li, and a female educated youth was assigned to his wife. At that time, Wang Yan was not happy about it. She yelled that the educated youth was holding her back, and said that Lao Li Jing was looking for something for her. Lao Li blushed with anger at that sloppy look, and didn't say a word. Later that The female educated youth went to the second team next to her, and she was safe."

Yun Ling didn't know what to say, so she could only answer: "It's really a place where women hold up half the sky."

Arguing with her husband in front of outsiders, and unilaterally reprimanding her, Yunling certainly admired Aunt Li's temper.

Aunt Wu was so amused by these words that she laughed so hard that she quickly agreed.

"Don't tell me, except for the old Zhou family who came over from Lu Province, our original Gada was not very patriarchal. Don't look at Wang Yan's foolishness, her family still spoils her own family. Where's my granddaughter!"

Yunling nodded. Due to the gap in labor force these days, even if the slogans are chanted again, the old idea of ​​patriarchalism is still deeply ingrained.It is still rare for Aunt Li's aunt to confront her husband directly in public.

The times are like this, it is difficult to change.

She couldn't help but wonder if there would be such a problem in the era of the system, so she asked.

The system checked some information and gave an answer: "We have mostly interstellar mental workers, so men and women are equal in this respect, but places like military schools are still dominated by men. Although genetic changes have greatly narrowed the gap in physical strength between men and women, civilization It's hard to be influenced."

Yunling understands this change. Absolute fairness in society is almost impossible. As long as gender differences exist, there will be no complete equality. When women's influence in society is enough to shake the patriarchal position, the idea of ​​equality between men and women will change.

Even as an only child, she faced patriarchy at school.

Everyone's insignificance makes them powerless when encountering such a thing, but every change in social thinking is also initiated by these insignificant characters.

Yunling thought more and more deeply, but the work under her hands never stopped.

Aunt Wu took one look and praised her, "Xiaoyun educated youth, you are a good farmer!"

Yunling smiled without saying a word: That's all thanks to the system's sign-in function.

In fact, not long after working, Yunling was already sweating profusely. She is prone to sweating.

This is not a big problem, so I ignore it.

But now Yunling felt the annoyance of sweating a lot, the sweat on her forehead flowed down to her eyelashes, blocking her sight, and the sweat from the tip of her nose fell on her lips, so she couldn't do without wiping.

Coupled with the scratching of the corn leaves from time to time, she felt red and itchy all over her face.

"Ugh--"

I said I would get used to it quickly, but in fact I couldn't stand it for a long time.

Yunling secretly complained about her squeamishness, wiped off her sweat and continued to work.

[Daily task 100: Three hours of hard work has been completed, and the reward of five catties of refined rice and [-] points of upgrade index has been automatically distributed to the host's backpack. 】

Oh, at least half a month's rations.

"System, do you think mental work is labor?" Although it was a bit tricky, she didn't want to have to come out to work when the temperature was over 30 degrees.

System: "Forget."

That's fine.

Anyway, Yunling has to read books for at least three hours a day, and by the way, she does her daily tasks.

The morning was finally over, even with the effect of Dali Pill, Yunling still felt a little tired, mainly because the sticky feeling of sweat made her uncomfortable.

The captain of the brigade came to give them the rations they had borrowed this year.

Calculated according to the commodity grain standard, one person has 30 catties of grain per month, of which [-] catties of fine grains include [-] catties of white flour and [-] catties of rice, and the rest are coarse grains, [-] catties each of cornmeal and potatoes.

Borrow them for two months first, and the next ration will be distributed after the autumn harvest, but they are all educated youths who have just arrived, and they have only been working for a few months, and the rations will not be much.

Yunling was carrying two large bags of food as if she was carrying empty bags, making it impossible to feel that she had stuff in them.

Chu Songlan went back with her, surprised: "I really underestimated you!"

Qian Li followed the two of them leisurely, her footsteps were flimsy, she didn't want to say a word, she didn't have the excitement that she had in the morning at all.

Seeing that she was showing signs of heat stroke, Yunling said to her, "Go to my place to get a pack of Huoxiangsan, and drink it with water when you go back."

Chu Songlan also looked at Qian Li when she heard the words, and nodded in agreement, "You have a bit of heat stroke, go back and drink more water."

Qian Li couldn't even say a word of thanks, she walked between the two of them, leaning left and right.

They didn't have a stove or an iron pot. They discussed it with Sun Qian last night. They will go to her house to bring rations to eat with them in the next two days. They will go to the county to buy an iron pot on the weekend, and the stove will be ready by then.

The three of them brought some extra rations and arrived at Sun Qian's house.

"I've troubled you for the past few days. Let's take turns cooking and washing the dishes. Do you think it's okay?" Yunling felt that if she took over the pot, she had to work. The four of them had a lot of food, and it was tiring to do it.

Sun Qian waved her hand, indicating that it doesn't matter about such trivial matters. I can cook meals for one person, and cook for four people, "Okay, if you don't come, I'm pretty boring by myself."

Yunling helped her pinch cornmeal pancakes and stick them to the side of the pot, cut potatoes into cubes and stewed them in the pot. Finally, Sun Qian went to the field behind to pick up a few beans, washed them and threw them in.

Chu Silan took a glance at the bowl and chopsticks, "It's quite convenient to eat like this."

"This is what I learned from the villagers after I came here. I just randomly stewed it in a pot. When the time comes, the soup of potatoes and beans will be soaked in the pancakes. It's delicious without dipping in the soup."

Sun Qian seems to have a lot of experience in cooking, "Come tonight, and I'll make another cold dish, cucumber peeling."

At this time, Qian Li came back to her senses, a little energetic, and asked curiously: "What is Lapi?"

Sun Qian introduced to her: "It seems to be made of potato starch. I don't know how to do it. I just change it with the aunts in the village. The transparent powder is thin but full of strength. It is served with cucumber and garlic. At the end, it is very refreshing."

"I can't wait." Qian Li had just finished drinking Huoxiang Sandui water, her mouth was bitter, and she just needed this refreshing cold dish to relieve the taste.

Sun Qian replied with a smile: "That's not okay, I don't have a facelift now, so I have to get it changed after work in the afternoon."

Yun Ling took out a pack of mints and divided them among them, and gave Qian Li a few more.

"Put this thing in your mouth to refresh your mind. It's the hottest time in the afternoon, so you won't suffer from heat stroke if you have this."

Qian Li held them in her palm as if they were treasures, and was once again overwhelmed by Yunling's ability.

"Why are you so good? It seems like you have everything."

Yunling shook her head and spread her palms, "I'll be gone after I divide it up. I don't take much with me when I go out. If I still want to eat, I have to make it again."

Chu Songlan looked at her and said pointingly: "You can tell me what medicinal materials you lack in the future, and I will help you get in touch."

Yunling raised the corners of her lips, thinking that this is right, the cooperation is a win-win situation.

"This thing is very simple, hawthorn, licorice, mint leaves and maltose, it is easy to find, and I will trouble you if I make other things in the future."

Chu Silan nodded.

Sun Qian felt a little satisfied when she heard their conversation, but because she was not familiar with the other party, she didn't say anything.

And Qian Li was immersed in the joy of hugging a thigh, and didn't hear what they were saying at all.

After taking a nap at noon to relieve her fatigue, Yunling took the time to look at these daily tasks.

[Daily task [-] - three hours of labor: completed]

[Daily task [-] - plant two acres of farmland in space]

[Daily task [-] - raising five poultry and livestock]

[Phase task - upgrade the space farm to the first level]

At present, the appreciation progress bar of the farm is zero, and the detailed information shows the properties of the farm: a thatched cottage of [-] square meters, [-] acres of farmland, and a capacity of [-] breeding farms.

Yunling did some calculations, and within five days, she could fully reach the level of farming and breeding, and reach level zero. The attributes of a first-level farm are: a [-]-square-meter thatched cottage, [-] acres of farmland, and [-] acres of breeding farm capacity. Only.

There is a line of small words under the attribute, which will be 100% ignored if you don't look carefully.

[Reminder: System farm crops and real agricultural products can be exchanged one-to-one, and both can be exchanged for system upgrade index for consumption. 】

That is to say, real things can be brought into the system, and items produced and rewarded by the system can also be used in reality.

"Why is this entry so small?"

The system is aggrieved: "The main brain has set up a regulation prohibiting inducing consumption of the host, and this article is suspected of inducing consumption."

……

Yunling sighed: "You guys are really rigorous."

In the evening, I finally ate the legendary cucumber peel. It was as refreshing as Sun Qian described. Four people ate up one plate, even the minced garlic.

After the work was over, Uncle Liu, the mason, came over to build the stove for everyone as agreed, starting from Yunling in the innermost place in turn.

Yunling poured a bowl of ice-cold brown sugar water for Old Uncle Liu.

Lao Liu didn't refuse, wiped the ashes on his hands and carefully picked it up to drink. After drinking, he felt very happy.

After all, this brown sugar is usually given to confinement women and children. They really seldom drink it, and the captain's family usually rarely brings brown sugar water out to receive people.

After considering it in my heart, I decided to build a few extra strong and fire-resistant stoves for this group of people, so as to ensure that there would be no smoke leakage and no collapse.

Seeing that the person had finished drinking, Yunling went to refill another bowl, but this time Lao Liu didn't drink anything.

"This stuff is good, you can keep it for yourself, a bowl of sweets is enough for me."

Yunling put the bowl on the adobe next to Uncle Liu, and said with a smile: "This is specially for entertaining you, don't be polite to me."

Otherwise, this cultural person speaks nicely. After hearing this, Lao Liu thought that he was some important guest, not here to work!

She went on to say: "Uncle Liu, I think you are good at this craft. I wonder if you can make a fence?"

Old Liu thought to himself, is there still life?

He immediately stood up, "Whether it's building a house or building a fence in this village, you have to come to me, because I work carefully and don't fool people."

Yunling's smile deepened: "That's just right, I also want to enclose a private plot in the backyard, and build a high wall around it by the way, the kind with a back door."

"Xiaoyun educated youth, don't worry, after I finish building the stove for you, I will find someone to pull bricks to make a fence for you. I will do this work, don't worry!" Old Liu promised, patted his chest.

"Leave it to Uncle Liu, I'm sure I can rest assured." Yunling pointed to the stove, "When I finish buying the iron pot, you find a few people to build a fence, then I can follow the village rules to provide meals, and the wages and bricks will naturally be given to me. of."

These days, as long as money is given, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Old Liu saw that she was bright, so naturally he had to do practical things. He thought that he would find the son of the brick factory to pull bricks, first repair the dilapidated house of Xiaoyun educated youth, and then build a high wall. A lot of money!
After finishing the stove, he saw the broken tiles on the roof and enthusiastically helped, "Xiaoyun educated youth, your roof tiles are prone to rain, I will go up and pick up the tiles for you, and pick them up."

Yunling hurriedly borrowed the ladder, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Before leaving, she didn't treat him badly, and gave him the rest of the brown sugar.

She circled around the house, the neat straw mats on the kang, the stove waiting to be dried out, the bright and clean windows, and gradually took on a dignified appearance that could accommodate people.
