Chapter 121: Autumn Begins
After listening to Yun Jingjing's words, Han Li suddenly felt that he was being used as a pathfinder, so he spoke loudly.
"But you are testing my safety!"
"Why are you so anxious? I have made it very clear about the relevant witness factors. Even if this matter involves you, it will be a near miss at best. Also, don't think that I haven't guessed that you have connections locally."
Han Li: "???."
Yun Jingjing: "Many things can explain this, and you can't hide it at all. For example, you are not bad in physical strength but you are working as a foreigner in the third team. Recently, village chief Zhao took the initiative to lend you a bicycle. In addition, I also heard that Zhang Dagang asked his daughter Thank you very much, Zhang Chaomei, but that attitude is a bit abnormal.”
Han Li: ".."
Yun Jingjing: "No matter which situation it is, it fully proves that you have connections in the local area. Even if this matter is revealed, it will not be a big deal!"
Han Li: ".."
At this time, Yun Yingying came out and pulled Han Li over. The two of them came to the back room, snuggled into his arms and whispered.
"Don't be angry. My sister's temper seems to have changed since she came here. However, I asked her repeatedly last night. She has absolutely no other intention. She just wants us to feel more comfortable here."
Han Li actually knew it in his heart, otherwise he would not go to Zhang Xiangjun to talk about this matter, but he was indeed very unfamiliar with this aspect, and there was just a trace of subconscious resistance in his heart. But now that Yun Yingying said this, Han Li Li Piao also somewhat understands her thoughts. Yun Jingjing just wants to increase the number of friendly forces on our side. At least there will be more people who are biased towards them among the educated youth, so that even if a very small number of educated youth do mischief, it will not have any impact on them. ,
In the next two days, Han Li's steamed meat strips had turned into finished products.
Maybe it was because of the exchange of saliva, or maybe it was because Han Li was coveting He Mi's figure, either way it was a man's nature.
After work that day, the Yun sisters were cooking in his house. Han Li wandered over to He Mi's house and secretly took out some of the food and gave it to her.
"There is no fixed time for eating during the autumn harvest. This dried meat is very convenient to eat secretly. It can replenish your physical strength at any time. However, only you and Yun Yingying have this thing. Don't mention it to other people. You yourself Be careful when eating. ”
He Mi smiled after hearing this. This beautiful smile made Han Li look confused for a moment.
"Are you concerned about me? But she should also have this dried meat Yun Jingjing, right?"
Han Li: "Um, it's something sisters can't avoid, but only the four of us have this dried meat. Please keep it secret when you eat it. I'll go back first."
"Hao Hongmin?"
"Absolutely not."
He Mi's smile suddenly became more dazzling. Qi Zhaodi had not returned from picking up mountain goods at this time.
She stood up and kissed Han Li secretly, then ran back into the house with a burst of hearty laughter.
Han Li touched his kissed face, glanced at the house in front of him, and went back without knowing what he was thinking.
When I got home, I asked Yun Yingying to get a piece of bacon, and I took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard.
"I'm going out to run some errands. I'll prepare a meal for you two. Don't wait for me."
Yun Yingying: "It's already dark. Where are you going at this time?"
"I'm going to find you a lighter job during the autumn harvest. If you get tired, you'll have to feel sorry for me!"
Han Li took the opportunity to kiss Yun Yingying, then turned around and walked out while carrying his things. Not only did Yun Jingjing stop his sister's next words, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.
Han Li walked and dodged all the way to Captain Liang's house, and shouted as soon as he entered the street gate.
"Is the captain at home?"
"Here, who is it? It turns out that Han Zhiqing is here. Come and sit in the room."
After Liang Ziqiang's wife came out, she enthusiastically called Han Li into the room.
Han Li put the things in the outer room and then entered the inner room. Captain Liang was sitting on the kang smoking at this time.
When he saw Han Li coming in and the look on his wife's eyes, he immediately knew something in his heart.
"Han Li, you're here, hurry up and get on the kang. It's almost time for dinner. Let's have a drink later."
How could Han Li be drinking in someone else's house at this time? After being polite, he explained the purpose of his visit.
After hearing this, Captain Liang readily agreed and directly explained that the Yun sisters should work in the grain drying field during the autumn harvest.
The drying field is the easiest place. You only need to flatten the bean poles brought back by the villagers, and then turn them over every once in a while to let them dry quickly, which is convenient for the next step of "drying the field", which is to pull them with animals. Stone mill grinds out the soybeans.
After deciding on this important matter, Han Li left Captain Liang's home.
Han Li was in a happy mood at the moment and was about to go home to have dinner with his sisters when he met Zhang Chaomei on the road.
"Where are Han Zhiqing going? No, I should call you Brother Han. Last time you left our house in a hurry, I didn't have time to thank you properly. It's almost dinner time now, how about Brother Han? When we have a meal at home, my dad is waiting to bring you two glasses of wine to express his gratitude!”
Although Han Li didn't know what the other party was thinking, his inner thought was to try not to have contact with them.
"Haha, I'm just going to wander around the village for a while. It's almost time for my partner to finish cooking. Next time, next time I have a chance, I will definitely pay him a visit."
Zhang Chaomei: "Brother Han's partner is Yun Yingying. I've been hearing her talk from my aunts since I came back. We are all about the same age. When I have time, I will definitely come to your house and we can have a good chat together."
"Haha, let's talk when we have time."
"Brother Han, walk slowly."
"You should slow down when it gets dark."
Walk slowly? That was impossible. Han Li moved his long legs very quickly and disappeared in front of Zhang Chaomei's eyes.
Zhang Chaomei looked at Han Li's disappearing figure, rubbed her temples vigorously, and went home.
The Yun sisters were very happy after hearing this. After coming over for a while, Yun Jingjing spoke up.
"A bottle of wine can get two out-of-towners to work in the grain drying field during the autumn harvest? And you said you have no connections in the local area?"
Han Li: "I'm very popular. I once killed the wild wolves that harmed the villagers for Shanghe Village, and the wild boars that harmed the crops, right?"
The three of them quarreled and ate, and two days passed.
After work that day, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang summoned everyone to the grain drying field.
Captain Liang stood on the stage and shouted loudly: "All villagers, educated youths, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and the children who have just returned to the village, you will have to work hard starting tomorrow. Tomorrow is This is the beginning of our harvest for the whole year. In the coming year, can we eat enough and eat well, let the family have some spare money, and let the children go to school well? This all starts from tomorrow. You guys must Let’s work together and take advantage of the recent sunny weather to harvest every grain of grain in the warehouse. Can everyone do it?”
"Yes, we promise to complete the task."
"Never let a grain of grain fall to the ground."
After the mobilization that night, the bells in the village rang earlier than usual the next day.
Most of the men were assigned to scythes to cut the beans, and some were responsible for transporting them between the fields and the drying grounds.
The old man and the children were responsible for picking up the fallen pods behind everyone, while others spread out the bean poles in the drying field.
Han Li and others came to the field with sickles. At first, everyone was assigned three large ridges of soybeans.
This also means that they have to work based on three ridges of land. If you don't work enough, you can't stop working. Otherwise, not only will you have no work points, but your work points will also be deducted.
The villagers hugged a long bean pole with their left hand and waved a sickle with their right hand to cut the long bean pole, and the long bean pole fell down.
However, the villagers did not let go. Instead, they continued to cut other bean poles, until they could no longer hold them in their hands, and then placed the large number of bean poles on the ridge.
Han Li was a bit unfamiliar at first, but his body coordination was quite high, and he quickly mastered the trick, following closely behind the villagers at his speed.
The new educated youths grasped the attitude of the villagers, and then began to follow the gourd's pattern.
However, the sickles would not obey their orders no matter what. The cut bean poles were either high or low, and they could not hold the bean poles in their hands. They staggered around for a while and scattered all over the ground.
At this time, the educated youth tried to find someone but could not find anyone by knocking on the door, because the villagers had already moved to the front.
Because you have to bend down to cut soybeans, you have to hold the soybean stalk with one hand and use the sickle to cut it.
After working for a while, you have to stand up and straighten your waist, otherwise you won’t even be able to straighten your waist after a while.
Not only should you be careful of bean pole pricking your hands, but you should also be careful not to get cut by the sickle.
It had only been two hours since the soybeans were harvested, but already many of the educated youth couldn't hold on any longer.
They were all complaining that their backs and arms hurt. Many people said that they could no longer straighten their waists.
But under the scoldings of the captain, squad leader, and scorer, they could only slowly move forward.
It was not that no one was lazy during this period. For example, Mai Weiguo complained that his hand was cut and he might not be able to do the following work.
But when the squad leader came over with a gloomy face, his expression became even worse after looking at Mai Weiguo's wounds.
He grabbed a handful of plant ash from his pocket, ignored Mai Weiguo's objections, and directly covered the small wound on his hand.
"This wound is not as big as an ant bite. You are worse than an old woman. If this happens again next time, let the scorekeeper directly deduct 5 work points from you."
Mai Weiguo, who was tired of being lazy, could only continue to grit his teeth and work, but he was obviously not the only ruthless person among these educated youths.
Not long after, Wu Lili's cries echoed throughout the land.
When the team leader heard this, his temples jumped and he came to Wu Lili with a dark face.
It was discovered that Wu Lili had not cut her hand, but had cut her shoe. The wound on her toes was not as big as Mai Weiguo's.
But she just kept crying, and several people around her couldn't stop her.
Thanks: Too lazy to think of a name. Reward: 500 points.
Thanks: Southern Mountain God Reward: 100 points
