33. Chapter 33 The hands are too tender

Author: ebony tea

Gu Jiaojiao, an energetic woman, was holding corn in her hand and preparing to work. She held the corn in one hand and began to peel the kernels with the other hand.

When everyone saw Gu Jiaojiao working like this, the expressions on their faces were filled with disgust.

Aunt Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, so she taught Gu Jiaojiao step by step.

It turns out that to thresh corn, you need to cross two corns together, and then use force and friction to thresh the corn.

This saves effort and is very efficient.

Gu Jiaojiao felt that Aunt Zhao was really amazing, and her adoring eyes made Aunt Zhao laugh.

"It's normal for you city kids not to know how to do it. Those educated youths didn't know how to do it when they first came here, but they will get it over time."

Gu Jiaojiao nodded seriously: "I will study hard."

This well-behaved look made Mrs. Zhao, who had no daughter, wish she could take her home as her daughter.

With such a beautiful and well-behaved daughter, she must be reluctant to work.

I don’t know what Gu Jiaojiao’s family thinks, that such a beautiful daughter is willing to go to the countryside.

Aunt Zhao felt a little more sorry for Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao didn't know this. She was still fighting against the corn. Although she had decided to work hard, her hands became red and painful after rubbing them for a short time.

Gu Jiaojiao had learned the skill of poking corns, but her hands had never done rough work before. They were so tender that they turned red after working for an hour. This was because she had gloves.

Gu Jiaojiao took off her gloves, looked at them, put them on again and continued without saying a word.

She has such a temperament. Once she decides to do something, she won't complain about it.

Aunt Zhao saw Gu Jiaojiao's movements in her eyes, and felt more and more that Gu Jiaojiao was different from the rumors.

Wu Cuizhi on the side was not happy anymore.

"Gu Zhiqing, you worked so slowly. It's so unfair to get the same cents as us later."

"Even so, it's too unfair to us."

Originally, when everyone was grouped together, some would do more and some less, but basically the difference would not be much different. Now suddenly there is one person who is particularly bad, and they will naturally feel unbalanced.

Gu Jiaojiao didn't want to take advantage of everyone, so she immediately said: "Then let's divide the food first, so that we won't take advantage of you."

No one expected her to be so stubborn, and for a while they couldn't say anything else.

So, they directly divided the corn into ten parts, so that everyone could do their own thing without interfering with each other.

Everyone!!!

Even though they are separated, why are they still unhappy?

Aunt Zhao comforted her: "Don't worry, I will help you later."

Gu Jiaojiao forced a smile: "Auntie, you are so kind and don't dislike me."

Aunt Zhao was amused. This girl was so funny. She had so many little expressions that it hurt to look at her.

Gu Jiaojiao kept working like this for a long time, and a small piece of the corn was gone.

"Jiaojiao, go back and eat!"

After spending a long time together, Aunt Zhao and Gu Jiaojiao got closer, so they just called each other by their names.

Gu Jiaojiao stood up and looked into the distance. At least half of everyone's food piles were gone, except for her, only a small piece was gone.

Don't just look at a small piece, it's actually quite a lot. You have to know that there are thousands of acres of corn in the whole village, and the yield per acre is six to seven hundred kilograms. This is the state of corn threshing. Before it is threshed, it must at least double, several times.

One hundred thousand kilograms of grain, you can imagine how big the pile is.

This work will take at least five days.

After the corn is threshed, it still needs to be sun-dried for several days. When the corn is dried and sent to the granary, it is more than half done.

Later there are peanuts and soybeans that also need to be threshed.

Why is it said that the autumn harvest is hard work? It’s so busy working every day and you can’t rest. It’s weird if you’re not tired.

The reason why we are working in such a hurry is that everyone is afraid that if the weather is bad and it rains, a year's hard work will be in vain.
