According to the physique of women, some are thin and some are strong, so they are divided into baskets and dustpans.
If you use a basket, in fact, one basket weighs almost 100 kilograms, that is, a shoulder pole requires 200 kilograms to be carried on both ends.
The dustpan is also folded in half.
It’s almost more than 100 kilograms to pick at one time.
Letting people choose naturally means letting you make choices based on your own abilities.
Several women picking stones around looked at Zhang Xiuying with smiles, wanting to see what Zhang Xiuying would choose.
Xiuying took a look, understood immediately, and chose two relatively sturdy large baskets.
He picked it up with a pole and came directly to the team shoveling stones.
Several women who were queuing up quickly got out of the way when they saw Zhang Xiuying coming.
"Come on, come on, the new ones have just arrived, let the new ones come to the front."
In fact, everyone wants to see what Zhang Xiuying will do.
Zhang Xiuying knew at the first sight that everyone wanted to see her strength, so she didn't say anything and walked to the front while carrying the frame.
Those who shovel stones are also women.
Hearing Zhang Xiuying say hello without saying anything, he smiled and said hello.
"Hey, there's a new eldest sister here, okay, then I'll shovel it for you first."
It was useless. After a while, the two baskets were already shoveled full, and the baskets were not piled up like a hill.
On the contrary, it is mediocre, and even one layer is missing on top, which can be regarded as showing mercy to Zhang Xiuying.
The main thing is that everyone knows that a basket full of stones is very heavy. It is also 100 kilograms. This 100 kilograms of stones is definitely very heavy.
Seeing that the basket was full, Zhang Xiuying hurriedly picked up the basket with a pole.
You can't go wrong with your posture when you step on your shoulders, but what everyone wants to see is whether Zhang Xiuying can lift this 200 kilograms.
You must know that even the strong women in the village may not be able to lift 200 pounds at once.
Zhang Xiuying does not do much farm work in their village, but she is also a good hand at farm work. Although her body is weak and she is often sick, to be honest, Zhang Xiuying's strength is real.
Especially the man, although he is gone, he has been taking good care of himself recently with his daughter.
Never got sick.
When Zhang Xiuying was young, she was also one of the best in the village. What's more, she has done a lot of work in the village by herself over the years.
She felt it as soon as the pole was on her shoulders. One hand grasped the rope of the front pole, and the other hand grasped the rope of the rear pole.
With a slight exertion on the waist, he was able to carry it immediately.
He steadily picked up the two lights and walked out directly. Not only did he walk smoothly, but he also had a good balance.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiuying walked out carrying a pole. The reason why they picked stones was the most tiring job.
Not only do you have to carry stones, the main thing is that the place where the stones are supplied is quite far away from here, you have to walk at least 1km.
Zhang Xiuying walked all the way without blushing or getting angry.
The few women picking stones behind her couldn't help but admire Zhang Xiuying's steady posture.
They just wanted to see a joke, but they still admired capable people.
The people in the village are just that simple, and they don't have any crooked ideas.
It is natural to reject strangers, but if you can blend in, they will easily accept you.
Gu Xiyue was shoveling sand there, expecting to see Zhang Xiuying's jokes, but after waiting for a long time, she saw Zhang Xiuying going to work steadily with a pole, and she couldn't help but feel angry and annoyed.
My hands were bleeding and I still had to work there.
Gu Xiyue burst into tears in pain, but no one around her felt sorry for her. Who didn't have blood blisters on their hands or shoulders?
All people come here step by step.
In everyone's mind, if others can endure it, of course she can too.
When it was time to eat at noon, Gu Xiyue sat there alone with her eyes red from crying.
But she couldn't do it without eating. She ate steamed buns last night and ate a lunch box by herself, but she was already hungry now.
Everyone else brings food.
They don't have a canteen here. Everyone brings a steamed bun, a piece of pickles, or if possible, some pancakes or vegetables.
Basically, those who can afford it will bring two kettles and boil the water to soak the steamed buns or pancakes and eat them with the vegetables.
Gu Xiyue had no food to eat. Not only could she not cook, she didn't even have food when she woke up in the morning. What should she do?
At this time, people had gathered in twos and threes and started to prepare for lunch.
There was no one in front of Gu Xiyue.
Mainly because Gu Xiyue was not good at work and everyone looked down upon her. In addition, she was so arrogant and domineering on her first day here, which left a bad impression on everyone.
Zhang Xiuying, who had just joined the production team to work at the construction site this morning, was surrounded by a group of old women.
Several women who had been picking stones with Zhang Xiuying this morning gathered around Zhang Xiuying.
Not every household has a lunch box, some have an enamel tea jar, and some have an enamel basin.
Some people are even more clever, just take a handkerchief and wrap a steamed bun.
"Oh, Xiuying really didn't notice. You've been able to do this all morning. You kept working and didn't even break a sweat when I saw you."
"Yes, Xiuying thought you were from the city and didn't know how to work. Didn't I hear that you are the mother-in-law of Camp Commander Huo? Are you, the mother-in-law, still working in the fields?"
"Yes, yes, I see you picking up pebbles and carrying 200 pounds on your shoulders, nothing will happen to you."
"Not red in the face, not out of breath."
"You can pull him down. If he doesn't breathe, he will die."
Zhang Xiuying's words with a smile immediately made everyone laugh.
"Although I am the mother-in-law of Camp Commander Huo, I used to do field work in the village.
Although the men in my family don’t let me work, after all, I still have to earn work points on the team.
I have also built roads and dams in our production brigade, so I have done these jobs and have some experience. "
Zhang Xiuying was actually very tired this morning. After all, she hadn't done such heavy work for a long time, but she didn't say that.
She had inquired with others last night and knew that she was going to work on a construction site, so she wore a cotton vest underneath.
Carrying a pole on my arms, I really didn’t get any blood blisters.
This is what an experienced old hand will do with ease.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and Zhang Xiuying took out her aluminum lunch box and wrapped it in a thick cotton bag.
After unpacking the cotton bag, the lunch box inside was actually still warm.
This was Shen Anan's idea for her. Of course, Shen Anan's original intention was to bring an insulated lunch box for his mother.
But the insulated lunch box might break if you accidentally drop it.
This kind of aluminum lunch box is more suitable, but it needs to be well insulated.
Everyone looked envious when they saw the aluminum lunch box. Unless someone in the village worked in a factory, no one in the village would have such an aluminum lunch box.
This is standard equipment for workers.
The problem is that for Camp Commander Huo’s mother-in-law, it’s not normal for someone to have an aluminum lunch box.
