Chapter 63
Because it was approaching the dog days, the brigade had to harvest the potatoes in the field and prepare to plant some radishes.

There is an agricultural saying: "Toufu radish and second volt vegetable". Although Lu Qingqing has never done it, she heard it from her grandma when she was a child, which means that radishes should be planted around the first volt.

One volt is ten days, and by the time of two volts, it is the season for planting cabbage.

Lu Qingqing is catching up with this season, and these two days followed the villagers to get the potatoes.

The men are responsible for pulling out the potato seedlings, and the women pick up the exposed potatoes and put them in soil baskets or bamboo baskets, and then the team leads the horses or donkeys to plow the potato fields once, and remove the exposed potatoes. Turn out the potatoes and pick them up.

Everyone worked in full swing for two days, and finally finished all the potatoes. The next step is to turn over the whole field, spread some manure, and then make ridges for planting vegetables, and the rest is waiting for sowing.

Lu Qingqing felt that these tasks were not technically difficult, mainly due to the relatively high physical requirements.

Every day I get up early and go to work after dinner, and I go home at noon, eat some food, rest for half an hour, and go to the ground again under the sun.

Tiredness is second, the main thing is heat!Lu Qingqing really couldn't take it anymore. It was torture for a person who had enjoyed air conditioning to come to such a place.

No wonder people say that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.The people here are used to this kind of life, so of course they don't feel it is too hard, only Lu Qingqing complains secretly.

After dinner in the evening, she quickly boiled some water, mixed cold water in a basin, and then took it to a quiet place behind her back to scrub her body.

Since she came here, she has taken a bath like this, and she has never seen anyone else take a bath.Several people in the family, she had seen her father and elder brother, they all washed them with cold water before going to bed.

Mother and sister-in-law are the same as her, they can scrub secretly. As for Xiaoyue, it is easier for children to play with water in the big washing basin without being afraid of being seen.

After wiping her body and washing her hair, she didn't even have a hair dryer, so she could only dry it naturally. This was another difficult task for Lu Qingqing with long hair.

Her mother told her since she was a child that she should not wash her hair before going out in the morning, and that she must dry it before going to bed, otherwise she will be prone to wind.

So she had no choice but to squat in the yard to dry her hair. Fortunately, it is summer, and the northern part of the night is the most comfortable season. The heat of the day has faded away, and there is warmth in the coolness.

It’s finally time to go to bed. After a long day’s work, I feel my whole body is sore when I lie on the kang. Physical labor and physical exercise are completely different things. Labor does not have the effect of physical exercise, it’s just tired.

Maybe over time, it will also have an impact on the body, such as finger joints will become thicker, larger, joints will protrude, arms or calves will become thicker, and so on.

This is also the reason why Lu Qingqing didn't want to stay. She didn't want to become like that. Natural beauty is very important, but it's useless if you don't pay attention to maintenance.

Fearing that she would be sunburned, she used Yang Xiuying's scarf to wrap her head and face tightly for the past two days.

Even so, Lu Qingqing would look at her sister-in-law's small mirror every day when she came home, and found that her aunt's skin was almost the same as her original one, with a natural whiteness. Red, severe peeling.

There is no sunscreen here, which is really hard.
