Chapter 10
Northeastern stew is a specialty, but there is no seasoning at this time. The only thing with more is salt.Others are like the oil bar. A large pot of stew is poured out of the pot. There is not even a drop of oil in it, and it looks like it has been boiled in plain water.

Lu Miao took some of it in an aluminum lunch box with the words "Serving the People" printed on it and tasted it. He felt that the taste was not what he wanted and decided not to touch it again.

She didn't like it, but Geng Xiaoyun and the others ate happily. The large pot of potatoes and sweet potatoes was quickly swept away, and there was no waste.

Fortunately, Ren Bingxin had the foresight to stew extra sweet potatoes, otherwise she would have been hungry at night.

The braised sweet potato tastes good except that the skin is a bit dirty.

Lu Miao scooped it up with a spoon and ate it. The soft, glutinous and sweet taste won her heart, "I will eat this again tomorrow."

Ren Bingxin agreed: "Okay, it won't be troublesome anyway."

Lu Miao said "Hmm", "Then help me pick a big one tomorrow."

Ren Bingxin chuckled: "No problem!"

After washing up at night, the others fetched water and wiped it before going to bed. Lu Miao was not used to it and could not take a shower. She had to wipe it carefully, right?

Lu Miao fetched two more basins of water back and forth, and Yang Xiaojing was speechless.

Gu Ying pushed Yang Xiaojing gently, "A little water is not worth anything, just use it."

Yang Xiaojing whispered: "Wouldn't it be hard to choose?"

"Forget it, they just arrived..."

Thinking that it is better to do less than to do more, Gu Ying smiled in a low voice: "Go to bed quickly. I will work one more day carrying water tomorrow."

Yang Xiaojing nodded helplessly.

Lu Miao didn't know about this. After washing up, she went to bed and lay down. She had slept in the afternoon, and the bed board kept creaking. She was not used to it. This night was the same as the night before, and she still didn't fall asleep until midnight. .

Time always passes quickly during sleep. Lu Miao felt that Gu Ying pushed her awake just a moment after she fell asleep.

"It's time to get to work, Lu Miao."

Opening his eyes drowsily, Lu Miao saw that Ren Bingxin had also been pushed awake.

"You two hurry up and pack up and go out to work early. If you are quick enough, you might be able to come back early at noon."

After Gu Ying reminded them, she went to the room over there to call Geng Xiaoyun and the others.

Lu Miao slowly got up and washed up. When she went out, there were only three of her, Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun.

Ren Bingxin asked: "Where is Chen Miaomiao?"

"Harmful!" Geng Xiaoyun scratched his head, "I saw that her health was not in good condition at all. She probably had a heat cold yesterday, and she still had a slight fever in the morning, so she had to ask for leave."

Ren Bingxin was surprised, "Asking for leave on the first day?"

Geng Xiaoyun said: "It's a bit bad to ask for leave on the first day, but this person really can't get up, so there's nothing wrong with that!"

Ren Bingxin nodded, thinking about it.

Geng Xiaoyun looked at Lu Miao: "I mean, Lu Miao, you should pay more attention to your work today and don't act like that. These two black people are not familiar with each other. If you are sick and delay earning work points, just forget it. People are still suffering.”

Lu Miao yawned lazily, carefully avoiding the thorns branching out from the side of the road, "I know."

She's not stupid, doesn't she know how to find a place to hide when it's hot?
Dahe Village is surrounded by mountains from the southwest to the north, and faces water in the southeast and east. The terrain of the village ranges from high to low, with the lowest place being the pond in front of the educated youth point.

With the pond as the center, going to the south is the fertile farmland where the production team gathers. Looking to the north, it is adjacent to the educated youth point. The land behind the educated youth point gradually rises up, and beyond that are the houses of the commune members.

The back of the house is against the back mountain, where there are scattered mountainous areas where the production team usually grows coarse grains.

Looking beyond those mountains to the north, you can see the endless mountains... Most of the male educated youths have allocated land to the south of the village. There are fertile fields where large areas of rice and potatoes are grown, as well as rapeseed that is taller than a person. field.

Lu Miao moved to the mountainous area in the northeast, where acres of peanuts and corn were scattered here and there. Her job was to weed the corn fields.

Because I had just arrived and didn’t recognize the place, after receiving the job from the team, Chen Guifen thoughtfully arranged for a guide.

They say they are guiding the way, but they are actually assigned to work nearby.

Looking at the old farmer's look, Lu Miao learned to carry the hoe on her shoulders, but she suddenly ignored her understanding of the terrain and climbed the hillside path. When she turned the corner, she hooked the hoe on the small tree beside the road, which almost killed her. Bring over.

Fortunately, someone behind her pressed her shoulder and gave her a hand.

Lu Miao turned around to say thank you, but the hoe on her shoulder was suddenly pinched by someone, and a low and impatient male voice came:

"Can you pay attention?"

Fu Jingyou stood behind Lu Miao carrying the load. He was holding the pole with one hand and squeezing the handle of Lu Miao's hoe with the other hand.

If Fu Jingyou hadn't been quick and grabbed the hoe handle in time, the hoe would have hit him.

If it's just a hoe handle, it's okay, just hit it once.

But if the hoe hits the body or the head, it’s hard to say what the result will be.

Lu Miao quickly put down the hoe from his shoulder and stepped aside, "I'll be careful next time! You go ahead!"

Fu Jingyou looked at her silently and said coldly: "You go ahead."

Lu Miao turned around, glanced at the person walking in front from a distance, and stepped onto the trail again.

The people who were walking together just now were all elderly uncles and aunts. They spoke the local dialect very fast and long. Lu Miao couldn't understand it well and couldn't follow the words. She had to hold back the ten-minute journey.

Now that she met someone of a similar age, she couldn't hold back her little mouth and kept asking questions:
"Fu Xiaoliu, what did you choose? Which land are you going to?"

"..."

Fu Jingyou remained silent.

The little girl Lu Miao lost her temper. She stopped and stamped her feet to look at him, "I'm talking to you!"

Fu Jingyou glanced at her and said, "The manure will be sent to the fields in the west."

"What? Manure?"

When Lu Miao heard that it was manure, she jumped three feet away.

But after seeing what Fu Jingyou picked in the bucket, she said angrily: "Isn't this just black soil? You lied to me!"

Fu Jingyou responded coldly: "This is what fermented fertilizer looks like."

Lu Miao gradually came to her senses, but after hearing Fu Jingyou say it was manure, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She jogged to distance herself: "You walk slower and stay away from me."

After opening a little distance and no longer afraid of hitting anyone, Lu Miao picked up the hoe again.

Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun were also assigned to the land in the west. It is said that the terrain there is lower, there are ponds, a lot of soybeans are planted, and there are several acres of open land.

Ren Bingxin used to be responsible for weeding the soybean fields, while Geng Xiaoyun was responsible for preparing the land, which seemed to be used for planting cotton seedlings in a few days.

Lu Miao pursed her red lips and asked, "Did you send this fertilizer to the cotton fields? Is it used as base fertilizer?"

"Do you still know about base fertilizer?"
