Of the corn in the space, I only pulled back two sacks last time.
And in order to make it easier for me to carry it, the corn in each sack was very small, probably just over 100 kilograms in total.
It's not the busy farming season yet.
Uncle Zhang, Uncle Ding, Seventh Aunt and Third Sister-in-law, together with others who are still helping them build roads and level the foundation, total 12.3 people.
This does not include Luo Tiezhu who will definitely come over and work for about two hours after the quarry is finished.
Occasionally, his apprentices would come over to help lift larger rocks and the like.
These people, more or less, have to give others some grain as payment for their labor.
Since we have to provide food for the 12 or 3 laborers who spend all day building roads and leveling foundations, the food at home is being consumed very quickly.
In the past, Luo Xuan would give all the food to Aunt Zhang, and she would take care of all these things.
According to Luo Xuan's instructions, when Aunt Zhang and the others cook, the rice must contain at least 80% rice, and at most 20% whole grains.
But Aunt Zhang wanted to save costs for Luo Xuan.
So when she cooks, she almost always splits coarse grains and fine grains in half, with corn crumbs and rice accounting for half each.
Thus,
The consumption of refined grains in my family has decreased a lot, but the demand for coarse grains has increased again.
Therefore, the 100 kilograms of corn that I brought back last time could not last for more than a few days.
Luo Xuan returned to the dormitory.
At this time, the dormitory was quiet and there was no one idle.
After dodging into the space, Luo Xuan used a shovel to put another 30 kilograms of corn into a sack.
It's still early.
Luo Xuan put the sack on the trolley, then began to take off his new clothes, put on his old clothes, then picked up the sickle and began to harvest the rice.
Due to the rice planting area in the space, it is about 400 square meters.
If converted, it is about 6 points.
Luo Xuan plans to cut as much as he wants this time.
If you cut it all at once, it would be too tiring! Even if you work in the space for two hours and rest for five hours, your body may not be able to recover.
Anyway, now he doesn't have any pressure to survive, and Luo Xuan no longer has that sense of urgency.
The rice in space is upland rice. There is no water in the ground, so walking around is much easier.
If you encounter paddy fields like those in the production team outside the space, even a strong laborer can fall down from exhaustion after just 2 or 3 cents of cutting.
Anyone who has done farm work knows that transplanting rice seedlings is very laborious.
The labor intensity of harvesting rice is at least many times that of transplanting.
After Luo Xuan mowed for a while, he felt a little tired, so he put down the sand-toothed sickle and went to feed the livestock in the space.
Just work like this for a while, rest for a while, and work in different ways.
I don't know how long it took.
Luo Xuan stood up and made a preliminary estimate. He found that about 1/4 of the rice in the space had been harvested, which was only one and a half minutes of rice.
So be it!
Cutting rice is actually very hard, especially the edges of the leaves above the seedlings, which are as sharp as saw teeth.
After cutting for a long time, Luo Xuan could already feel a bit of burning pain in his arms.
Since working has become a burden, then stop doing it.
Anyway, I am working for myself, and it is not as rigid as completing the tasks of the production team.
Those production captains would rather everyone work in the fields than let everyone go home early.
This is not because the production captains are making things difficult for others. If he hadn't done this, he would have been reported to the brigade by some people who had already targeted his position.
After just a few uses, the position of production captain will definitely be untenable.
After packing up the sickle, Luo Xuan sat by the spring and drank a lot of spring water, taking a rest at the same time.
When he felt that his physical strength had almost recovered, Luo Xuan pushed the trolley out of the space.
Cutting rice is indeed a bit tiring.
Especially after the cut, the burning feeling is a bit uncomfortable.
Luo Xuan put the cart and corn at the door of the dormitory, then lay on the bed and wanted to take a nap.
Lying down, lying down, Luo Xuan fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but Luo Xuan felt someone shaking his shoulders. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Qiu Guiying.
"Thank you for helping my brother."
Qiu Guiying thanked Luo Xuan sincerely, "This is the 1.22 yuan that my brother paid for the red potion."
As he spoke, Qiu Guiying spread his palms.
In her hand, she saw a 5-cent coin, three 2-cent coins, and a 1-cent coin.
All these things add up to exactly 1 dime and 2 cents.
Luo Xuan reached out and took Qiu Guiying's money. Looking at the gray nickels with her body temperature still on them, Luo Xuan guessed that this little money had been kept in Qiu Guiying's pocket for who knows how long.
Maybe she kept this little money with her for emergencies!
Keep the money.
Luo Xuan was half lying on his bed and said nothing.
Qiu Guiying twisted for a moment, then whispered, "I heard you spent several dollars on my brother's pants! I...it may take me about half a year to save that much money.
Moreover, I may have to wait until the end of the year for the used cloth tickets. If the production team can issue the cloth tickets, I can return them to you.
If the production team doesn’t issue tickets this year...I, I will find a way, don’t worry!”
Qiu Guiying twisted the hem of her clothes and explained with embarrassment.
But Luo Xuan just lay there, neither speaking nor any expression on his face.
"No, no, actually I can save enough money in about two months, but I still need to save for next semester's tuition."
Seeing that Luo Xuan remained silent, Qiu Guiying thought it was because Luo Xuan didn't believe what she said.
So she quickly explained: "As you know, now is the time when rural areas are short of food. I...I also need to buy some food for my family. So..."
Poverty will completely take away a person's dignity.
Qiu Guiying in front of her was trying her best to maintain her last bit of dignity.
Luo Xuan sighed slightly.
Then he stood up and said to Qiu Guiying, "Qiu Guiying, since you don't have a mature solution, at this time, you can actually ask me to see what I plan to do.
You can't always think about things like this from your perspective, are you right?"
Luo Xuan said softly: "When I helped your brother, I never thought of repaying you. Just like those people in production who had helped me enthusiastically, they were the same."
Qiu Guiying raised her head, looked at Luo Xuan with a complex expression, and whispered, "But the things you gave are too valuable..."
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "Who said I gave it to your brother? It doesn't matter if you don't have money, he can work for me and pay my debt slowly."
As he spoke, Luo Xuan walked outside the dormitory, pointed to the trolley in the corridor under the eaves and the sack, and said, "When you were returning from school, you happened to pass by our Zhengxing Sixth Production Team.
You will know where my home is if you ask around when you get there.
You deliver this cart and the food to my house, and then tomorrow morning, you push the cart to the school for me, and I still want to use it."
Qiu Guiying stepped forward and grabbed the handlebar of the trolley and tried the weight.
Then he nodded, "Okay! When my brother comes over later, we will help you take this cart and the things on it home. This is all for helping along the way, so there is no need to talk about compensation."
Luo Xuan chuckled, "In your family, you may have the final say. But in this matter, I have the final say. This is a matter between me and your brother, so don't get involved."
Qiu Guiying's face turned red when she heard this, and she turned around to tie the sack to the trolley.
The children of the poor become parents early.
Qiu Guiying had early wisdom.
Maybe in their family, Qiu Guiying arranges all the big and small things, including Qiu Xiaogang's food, clothing, housing, transportation, study and work, it is Qiu Guiying, the elder sister, who makes the final decision.
She is purely a nanny-style eldest sister, destined to have to worry about family affairs her whole life.
Luo Xuan looked at Qiu Guiying who was busy tying up the sacks.
He couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind: It would be okay if he occasionally asked the two siblings to help him deliver food to his home.
Because he is always elusive.
The classmates were also confused as to where they had gone.
But as time goes by, this will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
Therefore, it seems that I have to implement the matter of renting a house outside as soon as possible!
In this case, no one can figure out where they are and where the food comes from.
Luo Xuan was lost in thought there.
Qiu Guiying tied the sack neatly with her hands and feet, then turned to Luo Xuan and said, "Wait for me here for a moment. If my brother comes, you also ask him to wait for me."
After saying that,
Qiu Guiying put her old but clean schoolbag on the sack and ran away in a hurry.
Soon.
Qiu Xiaogang also came to the dormitory, waiting for his sister to get along well and go home with him.
After a while, Peng Yong, Wang Bing, and Yu Guijun, who had all finished school, also returned to the dormitory one after another.
"Luo Xuan, Teacher Chen asked you to stand outside the classroom and think about your faults in front of the wall, but you ran away."
Peng Yong joked with Luo Xuan, "Teacher Yuan has already spoken, saying that he will deal with you tomorrow."
Luo Que smiled and said, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you saw me being punished. Are you feeling particularly happy?"
Peng Yong laughed loudly, "Of course! As long as I see you being unlucky, I will be extremely happy."
Several people joked with each other.
Yu Guijun went to the school kitchen and brought back everyone's lunch boxes.
A half-grown boy will defeat me.
Now is the time when everyone is growing up, and the students are all hungry very quickly.
Qiu Xiaogang and his sister only ate a bowl of porridge made from 2 taels of rice that Luo Xuan gave him for lunch.
At this time, he was already ravenous with hunger.
Smelling the aroma of the crude food in the lunch box, Qiu Xiaogang swallowed his saliva greedily.
Luo Xuan handed the lunch box to him casually, "Eat, eat, then you will have the strength to help me push this trolley home. Don't worry about me, I still have it."
Qiu Xiaogang looked at the lunch box hesitantly, then looked up at Luo Xuan, then looked at the lunch box again...
After repeating this several times, I still shook my head and didn't dare to answer.
At this time, Qiu Guiying also came back.
She took out a small potion bottle and a thin cotton swab and said to Luo, "Stretch out your hand and I'll apply some red potion on you. What are you doing? Why?
Did your arm become like this?"
turn out to be,
Just now when Luo Xuan was using his fingers to make the sack, the attentive Qiu Guiying saw the dense red scratches on Luo Xuan's arms.
So she ran to the health room and asked the hygienist to give her some red potion.
Looking at Qiu Guiying's thin shoulders, who lowered her head and concentrated on applying red lotion on her hands.
Luo Xuan couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart: In this era, life is really too difficult.
For a person like Qiu Guiying who has eyes for life, no matter how diligent she is, no matter how good she is at planning and arranging her life.
Her life is destined to be very difficult...
Like a duckweed thrown into a torrent, it is impossible to take root.
If you are lucky, you will be able to find a relatively calm Huishui Bay where you can stay quietly for a while and take a breather...
