There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

Chapter 410 Night Battle with Lantern

Before Zhou Jiao could think of a way, the whistle started to blow again.

When we came to the river, we changed people this time. Zhou Jiao and Zhao Yuanyuan teamed up to carry soil baskets and bamboo baskets. As for Zhang Guoqing, he was well-known for his stupid strength, so he was assigned to carry bamboo baskets as a matter of course.

Illuminated by gasoline lamps everywhere, everyone on both sides of the strait looked tired, but they still gritted their teeth and worked hard, as if they couldn't feel what it meant to be tired. Amidst the laughter and laughter, every face was full of unconcealable vitality and positive.

This vigorous spirit is admirable. What kind of state of mind is that? Zhou Jiao didn't know, but she really felt what it means to be impartial and selfless, and what it means to be as close as a family.

The temperature is lower at night, but I can finally not have to go barefoot, and worry about the hibernating snake at the bottom of the river from time to time. Zhou Jiao was very satisfied with this challenging job.

She followed Zhang Guoqing's suggestion and put a towel on her shoulders.

The bamboo basket weighing more than one hundred catties was pressed on top of it, and Zhou Jiao almost fell to the ground when she staggered. It seems that she still overestimated her ability to bear.

Zhao Yuanyuan shifted her weight to her side as much as possible, and looked at Zhou Jiao in front of her worriedly. A silly kid who would accidentally twist his foot while walking on a dirt road, would he walk at night?

There were silt falling everywhere on the dirt road that was stepped out of a road to the sky. One accidentally stepped on it, and it was no accident that he slipped and fell to the ground. At this time, straw sandals are more solid than cloth shoes, at least the roughness increases the friction.

It was late at night, and the north wind was blowing, and none of the people who were in full swing felt the chill, and some people took off their coats and shook their hands to work. In this cold night, everyone is focused on doing more, and doing more. The people who fell to the ground climbed out and clapped their hands again, and then continued to start again.

There have been so many people who have worked hard, and the sweat of their efforts has spread all over the earth. In the cold winter, the twelfth lunar month and the scorching heat, there are always these people working hard for tomorrow.

Zhou Jiao gritted her teeth and did not dare to respond to Zhao Yuanyuan and the others. She was worried that she would be discouraged if she spoke, and she was even more worried that she would seriously drag the other party down. Looking at the classmates who passed by from time to time, she was also helpless. No wonder nowadays many families need to be tall and work hard to find a wife. She should be in the disabled category.

After taking a sip of water, Zhou Jiao lightly touched her shoulder, and couldn't help frowning slightly. The two shoulders have been switched many times, and this side also started to swell and hurt. She looked up at the moonlight, wondering how long she could bear it.

Facing the eyes of Zhang Guoqing who turned her head from time to time, she suppressed her tears and smiled brightly at him. Zhou Jiao knew that she had lost to life, to hypocrisy.

In one life, there are too many things to learn and understand. Whether it's Zhou Xiaozheng or Zhang Guoqing, they can't support her 24 hours a day, support her, let her learn slowly.

She, Zhou Jiao, should have the courage and perseverance to overcome it by herself.

With a plop, Zhou Jiao fell to the ground for the third time tonight. She immediately looked at Zhao Yuanyuan, who was laughing loudly—fortunately, she was fine.

She saw Zhang Guoqing running towards here with a load of bamboo baskets in the distance, and stood up quickly. Ignoring the mud on her body, she quickly asked Zhao Yuanyuan to help, and the two picked up the remaining mud and quickly slipped away.

No one is like the two of them, carrying a full bamboo basket and returning to the original place, there will always be only half of the basket. No wonder Linzi and the others secretly laughed at Zhou Jiao and the others for eating the mud.

Although it was impossible for Zhou Jiao and Zhao Yuanyuan to really eat mud, Zhao Yuanyuan was also dragged down by Zhou Jiao and fell twice. At this moment, the two of them are like clay figurines. It is no wonder that the weight in the bamboo basket is missing. At night, when I met someone I didn't know, I really didn't know these two girls.

In the middle of the night, the students at the bottom of the river finally lost their grip and began to slow down. Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that no matter how active you are, there will always be times when the mind cannot direct the body. Hmph, let's be positive!

The speed slowed down. I met classmates along the way and started to chat with each other. The atmosphere was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning. But everyone was really hungry and sleepy.

The whistle sounded in the middle of the night, and no one continued this time, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the farm, a group of people spread out to wash. Zhou Jiao didn't bother to take Zhang Guoqing's towel, so she splashed water on her face several times and rubbed it several times before she dared to take the towel. Looking at the black water on her face, she was so disgusted that she just wanted to vomit.

After hastily drinking a bowl of corn porridge, Zhou Jiao greeted Zhang Guoqing in a daze, followed Zhao Yuanyuan into the house and fell asleep on the kang.

Zhang Guoqing watched her leave worriedly, and it was inconvenient to go in. Standing where he was, waiting for a long time, he didn't find anyone coming out of that room, which made him think about it anxiously. In the end, they were dragged back by Li Qinglin who couldn't stand it anymore.

Except for a few occasions, the husband and wife have never been separated like this. Zhang Guoqing lay on the kang and listened to the snoring around him, unable to fall asleep for a while. If he did not miscalculate, there will be many such activities in the future, but Zhou Jiao's system is too poor, so how to act in the future is worth pondering.

Zhang Guoqing gently took away Zhang Yuntao's hand on his abdomen, and put his hands on the pillow. He couldn't forget the hiss when he accidentally bumped into Zhou Jiao just now in his mind. He didn't know if the girl had listened to his words, did she forget to apply the ointment?

Then he thought of the child, and wondered if he would cry at Zhang Guofu's house tonight. Thinking of this, he wished he could rush home overnight.

A sleepless night, the sky is not clear yet. Zhang Guoqing heard the whistle, got up and left the room. Looking at the house not far away, there was still no change at all. He didn't come forward to urge him, just moved his hands and feet in the yard.

Soon, the teachers' calls, whistles, and radio horns came together, and finally saw people getting up one after another to go out to wash.

Zhang Guoqing was waiting for Zhou Jiao to appear with a plate of water early on. As soon as he saw her leaning limply on Zhao Yuanyuan, his heart ached so much that he just wanted to pull her home. Because everyone was in front of her, he hurried up, took a look, and found that the girl really didn't take it seriously, her shoulders on both sides were obviously high. Looking at those hands, the blisters were picked out for her, but no ointment was applied.

Zhou Jiao noticed that he was starting to put on a straight face, and immediately realized that she stood up straight and smiled foolishly at him. She still remembered to apply the medicine before going to bed last night, why did she forget? It seemed that he fell down and passed out. Yes, it was fainting, definitely not falling asleep normally.

In the early morning, I ate two vegetable dumplings again, and this time it was Zhou Jiao's group who started going down to the bottom of the river. Standing in the mud again with bare feet, all sleepiness was swept away.

In order not to worry Zhang Guoqing beside her, she endured the severe pain, held the shovel tightly, and worked hard. In order to divert attention, I began to think about my son, and secretly told myself, soon, soon. I didn't see that I can go back to school after finishing work in a place not far in front of me?

The wound on her hand should have been broken, and Zhou Jiao began to refuse to admit defeat after bursts of stinging pain. She listened to Zhao Yuanyuan's gossip with a blank face, bent down with a blank face, stretched her waist and held up the shovel. But Zhang Guoqing, who was careful, could still see that his daughter-in-law was holding on from the angry veins on her neck.

He looked up at the sky again. The sky was dark, and there was no telling when dawn would come.

Sighing secretly, Zhang Guoqing slowly moved towards her, trying to do as much as possible to make her relax. At first, I was worried that others would look at my husband and wife in a strange light, but found that everyone was busy cleaning up and doing their own work. For a while, no one really had the time to meddle in their own business.

Near noon, a group of people cheered one after another. Everyone looked at each other's embarrassment and laughed.

It's over, it's finally over. To be able to finish half a day early, I have to say that the teachers and students of the school really worked hard. Everyone supported each other and went back to the farm, without bothering to wash up, they wolfed down sweet potato rice.

After resting for more than half an hour, under the leadership of the teachers of the whole school, Zhang Guoqing held the flag high, took big strides, and walked forward quickly.

Farewell, farm! Farewell, an unforgettable experience of high school career!
