The three major equipments for drying rice: bamboo rake, wooden handle, and large dustpan.
The rice brought back by the strong laborers of the harvest team was still dripping with water.
It looks like it was just fished out of the water.
Wait until they pour the rice in the big basket into the courtyard dam.
The members in charge of drying the rice would gather around and use bamboo choppers in their hands to pull out all the straw fibers mixed in the rice and the weeds cut off from the rice.
Only grains of yellow rice are left.
After completing this step, the women, old people, and children responsible for drying will use large dustpans to spread the rice to every corner of the courtyard.
Then the rice is spread out evenly and the formal drying of the rice begins.
After the rice is spread out, after a while, it is necessary to use wooden "handles" to drive them into rows, like "chuan" shaped furrows.
Another dozen or 20 minutes will pass.
After the ground between the rice fields and in the courtyard is dry, the members will spread the rice out again.
Then,
After a while, the commune members will use the handles to collect the rice and change it into rows of furrows shaped like a "three".
Only by repeating this process can the rice be dried as quickly as possible.
It's like frying beans in a pan.
The work of drying rice is not very hard, but it will be very hot.
Especially at noon, when the sun is at its most intense and intense, the members responsible for drying the rice cannot stop for a moment.
They need to use the handles in their hands to constantly change the shape of the rice, and at the same time use bamboo rakes to spread the rice as evenly as possible.
These processes are repeated, repeated, and repeated.
The sweat on the members' bodies was like crystal dewdrops, falling from their foreheads, shoulders, and necks.
"Luo Xuan, you go and have a rest, we can do these things."
The third sister-in-law was only wearing a men's vest, with an old towel draped around her neck. She held a bamboo rake in her hand and pushed the rake with a smile, "Go away, you are a skinny monkey.
If you stay in the sun for a while, you will become a human being."
Rural people are not so particular.
Especially married women, when the weather is hot in summer, there are many scenes of grabbing the vests and big pants of the men in their houses, putting them on themselves, and running around.
Yesterday, the third sister-in-law was originally responsible for cutting rice in the rice field.
But one is cutting rice every day, and holding the rice handle is too tiring. People will feel tired, and then the work speed will slowly slow down.
Secondly, harvesting rice belongs to the "front-line labor force", and one day's work can be counted as two days' work points.
In addition, the production team also provides two meals to the commune members who participate in farm work in the rice fields.
Therefore, everyone is rushing to work in the rice fields.
In order to balance the interests among everyone, the production team leader Peng Zhikun had no choice but to let the third sister-in-law and others go to work in the fields for one day and return to the courtyard to dry the rice for one day, so that everyone would feel more balanced.
I heard that the third sister-in-law asked Luo Xuan to rest.
Uncle Ding also smiled and said, "Yes, Luo Xuan, although you are diligent in farm work, you are still young and not strong enough after all. Go and have a rest under the eaves. We can do these things."
Uncle Zhou stared at the two lumps dangling on the third sister-in-law's chest, and said with a smile: "Hey, what a world! Is the ditch of a half-grown man worth licking? Isn't it just some evil ways? He has done a lot of things.
What a stinky money!
Think about those days, if I didn’t have a tile above or a brick below, wouldn’t I still get married and have children?
Thanks to my superiors, I am now a poor farmer and a breeder in the production team! We are poor and we are glorious!"
Said,
Uncle Zhou scratched the rice with the bamboo rake in his hand!
Under the scorching sun, the grains of rice turned into golden shadows, and sprinkled "swish" into the exposed ravine of the third sister-in-law...
"My surname is Zhou, if you are a milk baby, go home to your mother! If you are infatuated, your mother Ye Erniang is experienced and can feed you!"
Even though the third sister-in-law is young, her beauty is among the first-tier in the production team.
But she has always been famous for her courage to speak out and her ability to scold.
Suddenly being harassed by this, the third sister-in-law immediately cursed, "You are a male dog who can't even lift your legs to climb up to the stove. If you don't dry the grain properly, why are you so flirtatious here?"
members of the production team,
When they were working in the fields, it was very common for men and women to talk obscenely, swear, make some adult jokes, and even get into fights.
Especially in jute fields.
When jute is being cut, in the jute field as high as two people, layers of flowers bloom on the jute stalks.
The jute flowers are purple-yellow and purple-white, very beautiful.
This easily arouses an inexplicable restlessness in the hearts of the members.
With the densely packed jute poles blocking the view, some people might reach out to the wrong object unconsciously when tickling themselves.
During this period, the issue of life style was not so tightly grasped.
The time when you really like to go online and expand things infinitely at every turn has not yet come...
That will take a few more years.
In the past few years, as long as I don't meet the kind of idiots who always want to take credit and deliberately make things worse.
In rural areas, no one takes some nonsense seriously.
Just like when Uncle Zhou pretended to raise rice, he deliberately threw the rice grains into the ravine of the third sister-in-law.
If it were normal, everyone would just laugh, or at worst laugh and scold each other, and the matter would be over.
But now, Uncle Zhou kept saying that the third sister-in-law, and even Uncle Ding, were kneeling and licking Luo Xuan.
This made the third sister-in-law and Uncle Ding start to feel angry!
In addition, Uncle Zhou's reputation in the production team is really bad.
Maybe someone else came to make such a joke with the third sister-in-law, and it was nothing serious.
But after Uncle Zhou did this, the third sister-in-law no longer obeyed him!
Uncle Zhou was choked by his third sister-in-law, and he couldn't help but snorted, "What's wrong, you can lick it, why don't you recognize me?"
I am poor, am I not worthy of being licked by you?
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Today’s society is a society in which we poor people have straightened their backs!
I raise pigs and feed cows for the government, and my contribution is not greater than those opportunistic guys? Just wait, retribution will always come..."
"puff--"
A wooden handle swirled in the air in the dazzling sunlight, and kissed Uncle Zhou's forehead in the blink of an eye!
"Crack-"
The head dropped to the ground and hit the rice pile in the courtyard, making a soft sound.
Uncle Zhou suddenly received this blow, and a small gash appeared on his forehead.
The blood was like red earthworms in the ground, slowly crawling across his wrinkled forehead, the bridge of his nose, and spreading to his purple-black lips...
"I hate your mother!"
Uncle Zhou was furious!
I saw him covering his forehead with one hand, picking up the handle from the ground with the other, and rushed towards Luo Xuan!
"Dad, I flew away accidentally, and I didn't do it on purpose. Why are you so angry..."
Boss Zhou stepped out from behind Luo Xuan, explained, and ran away, "It's just a small bag. When I went to get you a sparrow to drink, I didn't know how many times I bumped into it...
Don't chase me, Dad, you can't outrun me! You still think you're the one who was so careless in those years..."
Uncle Zhou ignored him and chased after him with the handle in hand, "You're retribution! I'm going to stand up and start a fight! See if I don't give you a full house today... Oops!"
When Uncle Zhou stepped on the rice and chased Boss Zhou and passed by Luo Xuan...
A bamboo rake slid forward silently on the ground!
Uncle Zhou, who was running very fast, stepped on the bamboo rake and rolled away.
Only a "bang" sound was heard!
The burly and tall-framed Uncle Zhou suddenly became unstable in his lower body, and suddenly jumped into the rice pile with an elegant posture of "a dog eats shit"!
"Ouch——"
Uncle Zhou slowly retracted his head from the rice, covered his head and stared at Luo Xuan fiercely, saying, "Are you cheating on me?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "Where is this? I'm not trying to trick you."
Uncle Zhou struggled to stand up, but the rice under his feet could not bear the force of his diagonal kick. With a pop, Uncle Zhou fell to the ground again.
"Luo Xuan, you are determined to go astray, aren't you?"
Because Uncle Zhou fell face down, there were a lot of rice grains stuck to his forehead with blood, making him look quite ferocious.
"Don't think that because you showed your face a few times in the township office and relied on the old party secretary of the brigade and Liao Xianming to protect you, you dare to do whatever you want."
Uncle Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "I also went to the township office and participated in the meeting of poor peasants as a representative. The township head even shook my hand! I will definitely report your speculation to the township and county..."
I saw Luo Xuan and Uncle Zhou having a fight.
Uncle Ding and the third sister-in-law quickly grabbed a handle each and rushed over!
I saw two people, one on the left and one on the right, standing behind Luo Xuan to prevent any unexpected events.
Even Boss Zhou, who had already fled under the eaves and was about to take a look at the situation before talking about it, grabbed a small piece of whetstone that someone else had placed there on the millstone and prepared to throw it at him as a hidden weapon...
Luo Xuan slowly bent down,
He knelt down in front of Uncle Zhou and whispered: "We are all fellow villagers. We don't look up when we see each other. Is it necessary to strangle you to death like this?"
Besides, of all the things I have made, which one is not a good thing that everyone can benefit from?"
"Let's do this. You go to the village clinic and apply some medicine. The medical expenses will be paid to me. Then I will give you a bottle of 'Tuopai' and the matter will be over. How about that?"
When he heard that there was wine in glass bottles, Uncle Zhou couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of water.
After thinking about it,
Uncle Zhou shook his head, "As a breeder in the production team and a member of the glorious poor peasant community, I will never accept your corruption! Boy, let me tell you, this matter... is not over!"
"Okay then, I'll stay with you until the end."
Luo Xuan reached out and touched Uncle Zhou's shoulder.
It seemed like she was trying to lend strength on his shoulders to stand up.
In fact, Luo Xuan secretly used his strength to press hard on his "Jianjing point"!
"If you want to fight, you'd better consider the consequences before making a decision... I won't give my opponent a chance to regret it."
Luo Xuan slowly stood up and said, "Everyone in the production team has a hard time, but they all work together in a harmonious manner and help to tide over the difficulties, okay? Life is already hard, and there are always intrigues and stumbling blocks.
,Is this interesting?"
Looking at Luo Xuan's back slowly walking towards the eaves, Uncle Zhou couldn't help but tremble in his heart:
before,
In the eyes of Uncle Zhou, Luo Xuan was a sick man with no power to restrain a chicken.
Uncle Zhou is not bragging: Even if his hands are tied upside down, Uncle Zhou only needs to stand on one foot and use the other foot to knock Luo Xuan down!
But just now, when Luo Wu twisted his thumb and pressed his shoulder.
Uncle Zhou suddenly felt sore all over, and his entire left shoulder suddenly couldn't exert any strength!
This kid!
not simple!
It’s nothing like the submissive and ordinary Luo Xuan before!!
Luo Xuan's words just now were not harsh at all.
But at this moment, Uncle Zhou suddenly felt a deep fear seeping out of his bones...
Just like how he felt at that moment when he peeped at the landlord's mother-in-law taking a bath and was discovered by the landlord's long-term worker: His whole body felt like an electric shock, and his spine ran cold!
Idiotic anger is meaningless.
So Luo Xuan didn't want to say anything harsh.
It’s useless to raise your weak energy!
Just like when Uncle Zhou was sitting sideways on the ground and I was squatting in front of him.
If the hatred in the opponent's eyes is very strong, Luo Xuan doesn't mind giving him an elbow on the spot!
I believe that with a wave of my elbow, I can kill half of his life immediately.
But what's the use?
Doing that would only temporarily let out a bad breath, but it would not eliminate the danger posed by Uncle Zhou's subsequent revenge.
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.
