All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 419 419. Hardship and tempering of will

For farmers, the summer harvest is the most difficult and stressful stage of the year.

It is hard work because the labor intensity is extremely high. You have to work from dawn to dusk. Even the strongest laborer can be exhausted to the point of collapse.

I am nervous because just a few days of work determines the harvest for half a year. If there is a rainy day during these few days, the harvest will be greatly reduced.

In order to avoid these accidents, we must do everything possible to speed up the work and get the food home as soon as possible, so that people can rest assured.

On June 04th, as soon as it dawned, all the villagers had already gotten up and started working at 30:[-] in the morning.

The wheat harvest is so important that all villagers and all types of work must participate in the wheat harvest. During this period, other types of work will suspend work, and everything is focused on the wheat harvest.

Even students, including primary school students and middle school students, have a special wheat harvest holiday. During this half-month holiday, even underage students have to participate in labor.

Dahe Village is located in the north, and there is only one crop harvested in summer, which is wheat.

From harvesting wheat to returning wheat grains to the warehouse, the entire process involves many procedures, but among all procedures, harvesting wheat is definitely the most arduous and tiring work.

It is also the longest and most labor-intensive task, and most villagers have to participate in wheat harvesting.

The current ten educated youths in Dahe Village were assigned tasks on the first day to harvest wheat.

It was 04:30 in the morning, and the sky was dim. Starting work so early was not only to rush the harvest, but also to reduce the time of working under the sun.

Although today is the first wheat harvest work that the educated youths have participated in since arriving in Dahe Village, they have participated in such work many times during their school days.

The previous courses included learning about farming. It was impossible for them to learn all the farm work, but they must have experienced the most important work of wheat harvesting.

In the past, when I participated in agricultural studies, the working time was short and the requirements were not high. Even so, when the agricultural studies ended, it felt as if a layer of skin had been shed, and everyone was in pain.

Now we have to work according to the standards of the villagers. Everyone's heart is heavy and they are ready to endure hardships.

It was okay at the beginning, everyone was in high spirits and harvested the wheat very quickly.

But in the past half hour, the first thing that everyone who was bending down to work could not bear was the soreness in their waists.

Gu Bingxue had just started working for a few days, and her physical fitness was at its worst. She had not yet exercised it. She had just worked for a quarter of an hour, and she was already unable to hold on.

After barely persisting for an hour, she felt that her waist was about to break. Large beads of sweat dripped from her face, and each sweat bead disappeared into the dry soil.

Only those who have experienced this kind of pain know how tormenting it is. If she was alone, she would have been lying on the ground regardless of it.

But everyone else was working hard, so how could she give up her job? She could only continue to persevere with great perseverance.

I kept going like this, and another half hour passed.

The continuous labor caused her more and more pain.

At the beginning, the most unbearable thing was the soreness in my waist, and then the exposed skin started to hurt.

There are wheat awns on the ears of wheat. When the wheat awns sweep over the skin, there is not much feeling in a short time, but as time goes by, it will become unbearable pain.

Gu Bingxue's skin was so tender and smooth. After just an hour of drying, the areas on her skin that had been swept by the wheat rays gradually became red and swollen.

The biggest pain of cutting wheat was originally just the pain in her waist, but her strength was too weak, and over time, even her arms became numb.

It was unimaginable for Gu Bingxue to be able to persist for an hour with such hard work.

But at this moment, she seemed to have turned into a robot, repeating the same action over and over again, and time moved forward minute by second, and she had already persisted for three hours without knowing it.

It was already 07:30 in the morning, and the sun was shining down. The light, which was not originally hot, made her sweat profusely.She felt like she was in an oven, and the sunlight was the hot heat in the oven, burning her body mercilessly.

If it were changed to other times, such hard work would inevitably lead to cheating, and there would be many people doing foreign work.

But there is no summer harvest, no one wants to go hungry, everyone works hard, and no one complains about being tired.

When the time came to eight o'clock, the morning work finally ended, and Gu Bingxue sat facelessly on the pile of cut wheat.

Yue Hongying's physical fitness was better than hers, but not much better. She was also paralyzed by exhaustion.

Yue Jinhai's eldest daughter-in-law and youngest daughter Yue Hongmei came to the two of them and couldn't help but laugh when they saw their appearance.

Yue Hongmei said: "Are you exhausted? Among all the farm work, wheat harvesting is the most tiring.

The most painful thing is: I am obviously exhausted, but I still can’t rest, and the working time is very long, from dawn to dusk. "

When she heard that it would take such a long time, Gu Bingxue was so desperate that she said in pain:
"I feel like I only have one breath left now. Don't ask me to do it until dark, even if you let me do it for another half day or an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it.

I don't even have the strength to stand up now, and my arms are numb and I can't feel anything. I'm so tired! "

Yue Hongying also said in pain: "Why can't we take a break when everyone is working so hard? If I can work for a while and rest for a while, I think I can persist, but if I don't rest all the time, I really can't persist."

Sister-in-law Yue Hongmei was a bit older after all, so it was hard for her to joke with the two of them, so she said with relief:

"Today is the first day of wheat harvest. Apart from cutting wheat, there is no other work to do in the morning. Everyone can only do this job.

After gathering after breakfast, some people will definitely have to be separated to work on other processes.Don't worry, you two. Your fourth uncle will definitely assign you two more leisurely tasks, and he will never let you two continue to harvest wheat. "

For the two of them, this was definitely good news. Yue Hongying immediately said happily:

"I finally don't have to cut the wheat anymore. I'm so happy! As long as my fourth uncle doesn't let me continue to cut the wheat, I can accept any job he wants me to do."

The two of them lay paralyzed on the ground for a while, not wanting to be kept waiting, so they braced themselves and stood up unsteadily.

Back at the Educated Youth House, the male educated youths had already started making breakfast, while several female educated youths were lying in bed unable to get up.

Although Xiao Haiyan and Bai Yating came a while earlier than the two of them, their physical fitness is not better than the two of them. After harvesting wheat all morning, they were also paralyzed by exhaustion.

Although several male educated youths also suffered from back pain, their physiques were better and they could barely make breakfast.

Farm work is so tiring, everyone has to have breakfast. The female educated youth can't move, so the male educated youth can only do the cooking.

Among all the educated youth, only Yue Wenxuan and Lu Wenbing were the most relaxed.

Yue Wenxuan acted so relaxedly because he had a good physique and doing this kind of work was not very strenuous for him.

Lu Wenbing was so relaxed because he was used to such intensity of labor. He had been in Dahe Village for four years, and his physical fitness had already been trained to be the same as that of ordinary villagers.

Today was just the first day of work, and he had only worked all morning, so it didn't make him feel very tired.The other male educated youths couldn't do it. Even Sha Pingchang, who had always been in good physical condition, was too tired to speak.

For a few male educated youths, the morning's labor intensity was not very intense. What made them unbearable was the severe test of cutting wheat on their waist and kidneys.

Bending in one position for three and a half hours is really unbearable.

The labor intensity during the summer harvest is too great, so the food cannot be the same as before. Today's breakfast is pure corn flour steamed buns, and each person has two.

The side dish is no longer pickle strips, but fried garlic sprouts with eggs, and Yue Wenxuan specially added a little more oil.

Everyone enjoyed such a rich breakfast.

After eating, even the female educated youths felt that they had regained some strength.

Thinking of having to cut wheat later, Zuo Xiangqun felt sore in his back and said dejectedly:

"After working all morning, I feel like I only have one breath left, but this is just the beginning. I heard that I will work until dark today.

How can one endure such tiring work, which lasts for more than ten hours? "

Among all the people, only Lu Wenbing performed the most relaxedly.

His biggest wish now is to leave the countryside and return to the city, so that he will never have to live this kind of life with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky.

Especially during the wheat harvest period, every experience was like being reborn from the ashes. He had to go through the reincarnation from death to life every year. He had already had enough.

But at this time, when he saw the miserable appearance of other educated youths, he felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

After several years of training, although he still feels very hard when the summer harvest comes, at least he can cope with it in the first two days.

Just like now, everyone else was exhausted, but he didn't feel much, which made him feel very happy.

He also said: "This is unbearable, then your physical fitness is too poor.

Wherever we are now, this is the first day of harvesting wheat. This kind of work will last for at least a week.

If you can't survive the first day, how will you survive the next few days? "

Zuo Xiangqun couldn't help but ask: "Team Leader Lu, how did you get here when you first arrived?"

"What else can I do? I can only get through it slowly. One day at a time, in a few days, I can get through it no matter what.

When you slowly adapt to it like me, you won't feel so tired. "

There is only one hour to eat in the morning. At a quarter past eight, everyone goes out on time.

After regrouping, the captain of the fourth team, Yue Jinhe, quickly assigned work.

Because when some wheat is harvested, some people must be allocated to do other work.

Gu Bingxue, Yue Hongmei, and Yue Hongying were all reassigned. Their job was to turn wheat straw in the drying yard.

The full work score of this job is only six points, but the advantage is leisure, and the three of them are very happy.

Yue Wenxuan was also reassigned. He no longer continued to harvest wheat. He was assigned to the transportation team and followed a carriage to load and unload the harvested wheat.

This job is relatively leisurely, but the work points are not low, and the full work points are also the highest ten points.

Zuo Xiangqun, an educated youth who was also divided into the fourth team, was certainly envious, but he would not feel jealous because of it.

Not to mention foreign educated youths like him, even the male laborers in the village, most of them were assigned the same job of cutting wheat, which was no less leisurely than him.

Yue Wenxuan was able to receive such treatment because of his special circumstances. In addition to the fact that the fourth team leader was his fourth uncle, many of the members of the fourth team were his relatives with the same surname.

If these people don't object, he can join the transportation team. If others strongly object, even if the fourth captain is his fourth uncle, he can't arrange it like this, and he still has to have some scruples.

After finishing work in the afternoon, the sky was already dark.

Back at the Educated Youth Institute, the few female educated youths who came back early had already prepared meals.

When Yue Wenxuan saw that Xiao Haiyan and Bai Yating had returned to normal, he knew that their jobs should also be reassigned.

He asked: "Xiao Zhiqing, Bai Zhiqing, seeing how energetic you two are, you must have changed your job types, right?"

Xiao Haiyan said happily: "None of the female members of our team want to go to the drying area because they all think the work points given by the drying area are too low.

The two of us really couldn't stand the hard work of harvesting wheat, so we applied to go to the drying field. Since there was no competition, the captain agreed.

We just turned over the wheat straw in the drying yard. Although we never had any leisure time, compared with cutting wheat, it was definitely leisure time. "

Sha Pingchang said enviously: "It's better for you female educated youths. You still have room for choice. We don't have the opportunity to choose. We can only continue to reap the wheat."

Lu Wenbing joked: "Actually, it's not that there are no opportunities at all. As long as you don't feel embarrassed, you can also apply for leisure jobs held by female members."

In rural areas, as long as they are adult men, they basically earn full centimeters, which is ten centimeters.

All adult women basically earn eight centimeters.

Those farm jobs that are obviously leisurely have a low centimeter value and are generally assigned to women or the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

For the members, work points are their fate. As long as they are given more work points, no one is afraid of hard work.Those farm jobs with low work points can only be assigned to the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Sha Pingchang does not rely on work points to make money. He can indeed get leisure farm work with low work points. As long as he takes the initiative to apply, no one will have any objections.

If he earns less, others can share more, which is a good thing for everyone.

But Sha Pingchang can't afford to lose this person!

No one would say anything if a female educated youth did this, but if a male educated youth was so evasive, he would definitely be laughed at.

He glared at Lu Wenbing and said, "It's just harvesting wheat for a few days. If you can persevere, I'll have no problem.

This is also a good process of training your will. As long as you can hone your will stronger, even if you suffer a little and get tired, it is completely worth it. "
