Chapter 46 Rainy Season and Holidays

The farming season is about to begin, and the production team needs a lot of straw ropes. The rapeseed, rice and barley in the fields are waiting to be harvested and bundled.

A bundle of straw ropes is exchanged for one work point. With nimble hands and feet, I can collect a bundle in half an hour. Compared with the lesbians who used to work under the bright sun all day long to only earn six or eight work points, this job is light. It saves a lot of money, but for Lu Miao, it is not too annoying.

Although this work is not heavy, it is very tiring. When I am busy, straw foam and dust rise up on my body, which not only makes it unbearably itchy, but also makes me choke.

Lu Miao participated for two days. She felt like she had asthma when she slept at night. Her breathing was slightly blocked and she kept coughing. It was a respiratory infection caused by breathing in too much dust.

Ren Bingxin heard her coughing and became hoarse, and worriedly advised:

"You can't do this, why don't you go to the field tomorrow? Discuss it with your aunt, and you can always arrange something easier."

"Farming will be busy soon. Everyone is rushing to harvest. How can there be any easy work?"

Lu Miao shook her head.

Now the temperature outside during the day is gradually approaching [-] degrees. Lu Miao feels unbearable just in this weather. She really wants to be relaxed. It is easiest to just lie in the room without doing any work.

Besides, if you don't show good performance now to improve your "attendance rate", then when the farm is really busy and you want to take time off to avoid being lazy, the appointment of the production team leader will be more objectionable.

Lu Miao is very clear about her positioning. She will definitely not be able to hold on on a hot day. Why not show off well now so that others can talk less later.

But having said that, if you still plan to twist the straw rope, you should really make some preparations, otherwise the scratching feeling in your throat will be uncomfortable enough.

As soon as the kerosene lamp in the room went out, Lu Miao half-propped himself up and looked up at Ren Bingxin's bed.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, but it didn't hinder communication. "Ren Bingxin, how is your needlework? I remember you brought a needle and thread?"

"Yeah, didn't I pick up blisters for you last time?"

Lu Miao asked with an "Oh" and quickly sat up, "As long as you have a needle and thread, Ren Bingxin, I need your help!"

Ren Bingxin said lazily, "What are you busy with?"

Lu Miao didn't say anything, and asked Ren Bingxin to light the kerosene lamp, and after pulling out a navy blue gown, the two of them went to the main room together, "Let's go out and talk, don't disturb them."

Lu Miao had not touched any needlework. She felt that since Ren Bingxin brought these things, she must have some skills. She did not ask for beauty, just practicality.

Passing the clothes to Ren Bingxin, Lu Miao described what she wanted to Ren Bingxin.

It’s actually just masks and sleeves.

Ren Bing understood, but had some doubts about Lu Miao's arrangement, "Such a good coat is still new! Are you going to cut it?"

Lu Miao had a sore throat and didn't want to speak, so she nodded.

Ren Bingxin looked at her expression and knew that she was determined, so she stopped trying to persuade her, "I'll take off these two sleeves, sew two masks for you on the upper part of the sleeves, and tighten the two ends of the lower part to make a shorter one." Sleeves, okay?”

Ren Bingxin took off her sleeves and gestured to Lu Miao:
"This way, when you have time later, I can change the rest of the gown so you can still wear it."

Lu Miao nodded, "Look at the arrangement. If it's not troublesome, then do as you say."

A mosquito "buzzed" flew in front of him, and Lu Miao chased it and swatted it.

The light of the kerosene lamp was limited, and the mosquito quickly disappeared into the shadows. Lu Miao let out a "tsk" sound, feeling annoyed that she did not hit the mosquito. Ren Bingxin looked at her and looked like she was not listening to what was going on outside the window, and sighed in worry. . "If you were not in a hurry, you would have time to go to the town and buy two feet of fabric. Why do you have to dismantle such a good dress?"

"You also said you're not in a hurry, but am I not in a hurry?" Lu Miao sat cross-legged on the bench, holding her chin across the table to accompany Ren Bingxin, "What do you think of my voice?"

Ren Bingxin sighed, having nothing to say.

The masks and sleeves were simple little things, but due to the poor lighting and the carefulness of Ren Bingxin's needlework, it took almost forty minutes to complete.

Lu Miao tried it on, and Ren Bingxin adjusted it for her on the spot if there was any inappropriateness. When everything was done, she held the sleeve of the mask and held up Ren Bingxin's arm to kiss her closely:
"Ren Bingxin, you are so kind! You saved me from fire and water!"

"I've always been very separate. You helped me a lot this time. If something good happens later, I will think of you first!"

"How big of a deal is it? Isn't it right for us to help each other?" Ren Bingxin held the kerosene lamp with both hands, fearing that Lu Miao would knock it over, "Okay, it's okay. You Jiao, let's have sex tomorrow, and go to bed tonight!"

"What do you mean, you'll have to show off tomorrow! Okay, you've learned Geng Xiaoyun's trick, haven't you?"

"Hahaha, no, stop scratching..."

They pushed the door open with laughter, the two of them lowered their voices knowingly, blew out the kerosene lamp, snickered softly, and each lay down on their own bed.

There was a wind in the night, and the trees and bamboos in front of and behind the house were rustling, and the windows were shaking in the wind.

In the trance, there was the "tick-tock" sound of raindrops falling on the roof tiles.

Lu Miao thought it was a dream, but when she woke up in the morning, she found that it had indeed rained last night and the temperature had dropped a lot.

Because of the hot weather, the quilt she had folded up to use as a pillow was shaken out again when she went to sleep. When she got up, the quilt was in a mess and wrapped around her waist.

Lu Miao didn't have the habit of getting up early. Gu Ying and the others usually got up first and called her by the way.

Today was a bit unusual. Not only did no one call her to get up, but the hall outside the door sounded quite lively. No one seemed to have gone to work.

After tidying up the bed, Lu Miao combed her hair and carried the toiletries out. She asked curiously, "Why didn't you go to work?" Gu Ying and others responded to her with a smile:

"Looking at the weather and the heavy rain, the captain came over early in the morning and said that if it rains, we will have a holiday for two days."

Lu Miao was surprised, "Two days? So good?"

Geng Xiaoyun sat on the threshold, knocked off the heavy mud from the soles of his shoes, and joked:
"Looking at you, do you think the captain is really that easy to give us a holiday? That's because we don't succeed in our normal work, especially when it rains, so we made this arrangement."

"Whatever, it's just a holiday anyway."

Lu Miao puffed up her face proudly and ran to the kitchen to get some water for washing.

The rain had stopped in the morning, the sky was dark and drizzle was falling, and water was dripping from the eaves.

Lu Miao's eyes wandered as she squatted on the steps and brushed her teeth. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there was someone standing on the path that turned from the pond on the right front side of the Educated Youth Point.

Squinting and taking a closer look through the shadows of the trees, Lu Miao stood up reflexively.

Isn't there just a person standing there?
Fu Jingyou, who had disappeared without a trace for almost half a month, reappeared without warning!
