When the bad guy is reborn in 60s
Chapter 7: Going up the mountain to cut pigweed
Going to bed early can help you wake up early. Lin Qiuxia also woke up when she heard the movement at home.
When she got out of the yard and took a look, it was just dawn. She estimated that it was probably around five o'clock or close to six o'clock.
Everyone in the family, including her 4-year-old brother, was already up.The firewood in the kitchen was burning, and several people were washing in the yard.
Breakfast was cooked by her eldest sister Chunni. She cooked a pot of porridge with the same thin rice soup and clear water. While cooking, she placed a steamer on top of the pot and steamed several large red sweet potatoes.
Their area is in South China, with a suitable climate, and sweet potatoes have very low land requirements. They grow a lot of sweet potatoes all year round in places in the village that are not suitable for growing rice.
When the sweet potato leaves grow, you can cut them off to feed the pigs. After they are cut, a batch will grow out quickly. When watering occasionally, add some farmyard manure to make them easy to feed and don't require much effort to serve.
At this time, pigs are more valuable than people, and people can’t eat the sweet potato leaves even if they want to.When the sweet potatoes in the field grow up, they are dug out, and each household can share a lot. In this era of food shortage, sweet potatoes are basically the staple food.
After digging the sweet potatoes, the sweet potato vines and leaf stems can be cut into the ground and continued to be planted.
In the morning, each person eats a large sweet potato with porridge. Regardless of whether it is nutritious or not, everyone is full with this meal in the morning, so that they have the strength to work.
After eating, the adults in the family put on their straw hats and went to work in the fields.
Lin Qiuxia, wearing long sleeves and trousers, carrying a small bamboo basket that her uncle cut and weaved herself, took her 4-year-old brother to cut pigweed at the foot of the hillside in the north of the village.
Children nowadays are quite sensible. Most of the three or four-year-old children in the family who can walk around start to help with the work.
For children in the family, as long as the first child grows up to four or five years old, the parents will basically not have to worry about the younger brothers and sisters after they are weaned. The older one will take care of the younger ones, and the younger ones will take care of the younger ones. There was friction between the brothers and sisters before. After quarrels and fights, you get better later, and your parents don't even know.So the relationship between brothers and sisters is also very good.
At around 06:30 when we arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were already many children of her age, bringing their younger brothers and sisters over to work.
There is a lot of rain here, and pigweed is also a kind of wild grass on the mountain. As long as the roots are not dug up, one after another rain will soon appear again.
Lin Qiuxia walked to a place where pigweed was still lush, tapped it with a long wooden stick of scissors, and made a few hehehehahaha sounds.This is to make noise. If there are snakes and insects in the grass, they will usually crawl away to the top of the mountain.Although the probability of encountering snakes and insects at the foot of the mountain is very low, you should be afraid of just in case. For such a life-threatening matter, no matter how careful you are, you can never be too careful.
After completing this set of preparations, Lin Qiuxia put down the bamboo basket, held a handful of pigweed in her left hand, picked up a sickle in her right hand, and cut the root of the pigweed close to the ground.
She has the physical memory of the original owner, plus when she was a child in the [-]s, she went to her grandmother's house to harvest rice with the adults, and she also knew some simple farm work.But then it was for fun, now it's for life.
Sure enough, the current situation has changed and my mentality has changed. In the past, I stopped cutting when I was tired and found it no longer fun. Now that I have gradually become familiar with it, I can only speed up and try to cut more.
On the one hand, mowing is slow because everyone has finished mowing the areas where pigweed is concentrated, so we have to go to scattered places to find and mow, which is inefficient.On the other hand, the weather is cooler in the morning now. If you work more, your total amount per day will increase, and you will get more work points.
Lin Qiuxia cut off handfuls of pigweed and put them on the ground, moving in different directions while cutting. Her brother Lin Donghai helped her put the cut pigweeds into the bamboo basket layer by layer, so that she did not have to run back and forth, or cut while cutting. He stopped to drag the bamboo basket.
Unexpectedly, she lay in bed for most of the day in a daze on the first day she came here, and then started working on the second day. This work lasted four hours. Lin Qiuxia did not expect that she could persist for so long.
Let alone doing one thing for several hours together, she would feel uncomfortable even if she played with her mobile phone in the same position for more than an hour.
After all, she is here at this age, and even after such a long time, she has only just filled the bamboo basket.The sun is getting hotter and brighter, so I can call it a day and go home.
This thing weighed little when being cut. After filling the basket, Lin Qiuxia felt that it was a bit difficult to carry it back on her 7-year-old shoulders. She took several rests midway because she was too tired and heavy.
By the time she carried pigweed to the hay shed not far from the brigade's pig pen to hand in pigweed for work points, she was almost the last child to come back, and those who came back later than her had already paid their dues and gone home.
The first work points earned in the 60s were 2 work points.Generally speaking, as long as the basket is full, you can basically get 2 work points.It can be regarded as making a small contribution to the family, not just freeloading.
When I got home, except for the eldest sister who came back to cook, no one else in the family had returned.
Lin Qiuxia felt that there were many eucalyptus trees while cutting pigweed at the foot of the mountain in the morning. The forest was dense and the wind was strong, so there was no need to wear a hat. As a result, her face was red from the sun on the way back.
She felt that her body couldn't stand the sun. It was a good thing that her family didn't favor boys over girls, and her family loved her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until she was 7 years old, and she would have died in the sun long ago. .
Lin Qiuxia walked to the eaves and put down the bamboo basket. She ran to the kitchen to get a bowl. She walked to the water tank and opened the lid. She took a ladle and poured some water into it. After pouring it into the bowl, it was a big bowl. After drinking it, she felt whole A lot cooler.
When she got out of the yard and took a look, it was just dawn. She estimated that it was probably around five o'clock or close to six o'clock.
