Chapter 80: Keeping vigil, stealing melons

As soon as Chen Miaomiao's voice came out, the table fell silent.

Chen Miaomiao's words were obviously provocative, and everyone was thinking about how to expose this problem. However, Chen Miaomiao and Lu Miao were both talking with guns and sticks, and they were full of gunpowder. If they wanted to stop them, they didn't know where to start. It's okay to interrupt, but all you can do is remain silent.

Yang Xiaojing finally broke the embarrassment, and the table immediately became animated.

Chen Miaomiao was not convinced, but she knew that she could not defeat Lu Miao, so they all lowered their heads and took big bites of sweet potatoes without saying a word.

But Lu Miao would not let her go so easily.

If you want to be disgusted, you can disgust people. If you can't explain it, just run away and pretend that nothing happened. How can such a good thing happen?

"As for me, the quality of my work is absolutely guaranteed, so I can't blame others for talking about me. But Chen Miaomiao..."

Lu Miao put down her chopsticks, tilted her slim body to one side, rested her chin with one hand and looked at Chen Miaomiao lazily with a hint of provocation and disdain:
"You have always been the quickest worker in the educated youth camp, but you must seize the opportunity to work hard and work a lot. The facade of our educated youth camp depends entirely on you."

"At this point, there's no need for you to touch me!"

Chen Miaomiao snorted, raised her chin and straightened her back, as if she was the savior of the entire educated youth community.

Lu Miao's eyes twitched and she couldn't communicate with the fool. She picked up her lunch box and walked out.

Ren Bingxin asked: "Why are you going?"

"It's so hot. I'll go to the well in the back to wash the lunch box and wash my face."

"Huh? Then wait for me, I'm going too!"

Ren Bingxin followed her out of the main room with her lunch box. Across the threshold, her two voices drifted away:

"It's really hot today, and the water in the well is cold. Let's roll up our trouser legs a little higher and use more water to take a shower. Once it's cooled down, we can take a nap!"

"Well, okay."

The south has officially entered the peak of farming, and large areas are busy. Of course, Nanhu Town Commune will not be an exception.

Everyone was busy. Lu Miao rushed the ducks to the shelves. Even if she was reluctant, she could only follow the big guys running around. She spent a few days in the paddy fields to cut grains, and then went to the valleys in the back mountains to harvest the wheat that was planted last winter. .

There was no time for the two threshing floors. They finished threshing the rapeseeds in the front, then pressed the millet, threshed the wheat kernels, and transplanted the rice seedlings at the same time.

Transplanting rice seedlings is different from cutting millet. The fields are full of water, and she has the experience of stepping on thin mud to cut millet. Lu Miao doesn't resist transplanting rice seedlings. But later someone said that there were leeches in the paddy field, so she didn't do anything. Ken went.

With the ability to grunt, stomp, and shout, He Hongjin couldn't do anything with her.

Coupled with Chen Guifen's pillow style, He Hongjin acted like a donkey and half-heartedly assigned Lu Miao other jobs.

Lu Miao then switched from paddy fields to threshing fields.

It was not her turn to drive the cattle to crush the millet or winnow the millet. All she did was trivial tasks, such as spreading rice ears, harvesting straw, helping to bundle the straw, driving the free-range chickens raised by the members of the team, or They are greedy tits that fly over from the mountains to prevent them from stealing the grain.

At first, the threshing floor only threshed morning, lunch and evening. It was not too busy, but it couldn't stand the heat and it was still uncomfortable to be outside.

Later, as more and more ears of rice were harvested and transported back, the east and west threshing floors were divided. Each threshing floor was divided into two or three fields, and two or three fields were threshed at the same time.

There are only two oxen in the team. Except for the two oxen that drag the stone rollers, the others rely on human power to thresh the grains. It can be done if they can, but it will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed.The weather in summer is unpredictable. For fear of heavy rains and thunderstorms, He Hongjin can only arrange for members to work overtime day and night. It is common for the two threshing fields to be busy grinding millet at night. Many times, it is too late to harvest the millet. , it is necessary to arrange manpower to keep vigil.

One time, Lu Miao took an afternoon off from work due to heatstroke. Later, he stayed vigil at the threshing floor, and she had a place there. Besides her, there was also Gu Ying.

She and Gu Ying were both petite, so Geng Xiaoyun was worried and said he would accompany them both in the evening.

Ren Bingxin and Yang Xiaojing didn't get along well, and they didn't want to stay in the educated youth center, so they joined in the fun and said they wanted to stay together.

Lu Miao nodded her head like garlic, with a hundred wishes in her heart. However, Gu Ying had different opinions and repeatedly persuaded Ren Bingxin several times.

He said he was going to watch the night, but in fact he slept there overnight, and the one who was really watching carefully was someone else.

But even so, it's not fun or comfortable. You sleep on straw in the threshing floor, which makes your body itchy. The quilt is a natural bed and the ground is used as a bed, and there are many mosquitoes.

Afraid that Ren Bingxin's lack of rest would affect her work performance the next day, Gu Ying told all the good and bad. It was obvious that Ren Bingxin was determined, so Gu Ying stopped talking.

After having dinner and taking a shower at night, Lu Miao took off the sheets on the bed and took them with her. Before going out, she thought of the cucumbers in the vegetable patch. She didn't have to worry about stepping on snakes in the dark sky. Her eyes were bright and she was jumping on her feet. Run towards the vegetable field:
"Wait for me! I saw a few cucumbers a few days ago. They must have grown up now. I will pick one and we will take it over to eat. The rest will be picked at noon tomorrow. Then we will mix it with vinegar and we will all join together. eat."

"Okay, then watch your feet."

"Ugh!"

Lu Miao was full of joy, but when she walked into the vegetable field, her good mood was instantly poured cold water on her.

"Where's my cucumber!"

Lu Miao's eyes turned red, and her voice suddenly became sharp, "Which of you picked my cucumbers?!"

Her voice was choked with tears, which was very different from usual. Geng Xiaoyun and others heard it and hurried over to check the situation, "What's going on, why are you still crying?"

Lu Miao twitched, her chest heaved violently, and she felt extremely distressed when she was angry, "See for yourselves!"

It was pitch dark and it was difficult to see anything, so Geng Xiaoyun and the others could only get closer and take a closer look.

As I got closer, I saw that not only were the cucumbers gone, but the leaves of the melon vines wrapped around the nearby shelf were also dry and curled, obviously caused by someone violently pulling them.

"Who did it so harshly? The melons and vines are already wilting. Why don't we just give this one a vine? How will we grow melons in the future?" Geng Xiaoyun said "tsk" and rubbed his forehead, "Which of you did this? Yes? Why don't you be careful?"

There was no blame in her anger, but she was filled with countless regrets.

Ren Bingxin and Gu Ying said hurriedly: "We have been busy these past few days, and we haven't come here."

They wanted to say something else, but when they heard that Lu Miao's nasal voice was obviously getting worse, they looked at each other, fell silent at the right moment, and said comfortingly:

"Forget it, Miaomiao, just a few cucumbers... they will grow in a few days, so don't cry."

“Is it a question of how many cucumbers there are?”

Lu Miao was so angry that her lips couldn't stop trembling. She curled up her fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said angrily:

"If you pick it and eat it, just pick it and eat it. Why do you have to tear up the vines? If he eats the first crop, he won't eat the second crop? Even if he doesn't eat it, then others won't eat it? How selfish!"
