The next day, Su Mo put on blue overalls and liberation shoes, and went to work with the educated youth.
Today is still about pulling out peanuts. According to the captain, there are not many peanuts, and it will be completed in three days. Then there is the matter of drying and storing, then handing over the public grain, settling the work points, dividing the grain and money, and killing the pigs and dividing the meat.
In short, after being mobilized by the team leader, the villagers who were exhausted after more than a month of autumn harvest became full of energy and full of energy.
After all, farmers distribute grain and money all year long just for this time. Moreover, the brigade has had a bumper harvest this year, so the work points of their production brigade should be quite valuable.
Many aunties started discussing on the road what to buy after the money was divided.
When passing by another Shaiguping area in the brigade, Su Mo found a group of men holding something that looked like diving flippers and beating the wheat straw on the ground. There were also several uncles driving donkeys pulling stones. The roller is spinning in circles.
Su Mo was a little curious, could this be the legendary wheat beating?
So he asked Ma Xiaojuan in a low voice: "What are they doing?"
A lady with sharp ears happened to hear it and explained: "They are threshing wheat. They have to beat the wheat and dry it before bagging it for storage."
"What is that they are holding? Can they all be knocked down by beating like this?"
"That's called a flail. It's not that easy to thresh wheat. You first use the flail to knock down the wheat on top, then pick out the wheat straw on top, and then continue beating and picking out. After the big wheat straw is picked out, you have to use a wooden stick. Lift the field to lift away the wheat husks and short grass, leaving only the plump wheat that can be dried in the sun." The aunt explained enthusiastically.
"It's really hard work!" Ma Xiaojuan sighed.
"The wheat is growing well this year, so it doesn't matter if you have to work hard. What I'm most afraid of is that it doesn't grow well, and all the hard work has been in vain." The aunt said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with this year's harvest.
When we arrived at the place, the team leader began to assign tasks, and Su Mo was the last to be assigned.
Looking at the small piece of land in front of her, Su Mo was stunned.
Although she was not sensitive to measurement units such as acres and cents, she could still see that this piece of land was definitely not more than one cent.
"Squad leader, why do I have so few?"
Team leader Lu Guoping scratched his head in embarrassment, "Well, Brother Changzheng asked me not to give you so much."
Lu Guoping has been Lu Changzheng's follower since he was a child and listens to his words very much. Even if Lu Changzheng went to serve as a soldier, he would always write to ask Lu Changzheng for his opinion when something happened.
Su Mo:......
"Don't listen to him. You can divide it how you want. Otherwise, how can I earn work points with just such a small amount of land?"
Just kidding, she is still waiting to absorb energy. At this point, she might as well go pull weeds nearby.
In the end, Lu Guoping couldn't defeat Su Mo and gave her three points of land. Lu Guoping estimated that this was her limit, and she might have to wait for Brother Changzheng to come and extract most of it.
After Lu Guoping left, Su Mo squatted down and pulled out peanuts.
She grabbed the peanut seedling close to the ground and absorbed the wood energy inside from bottom to top. The first few plants didn't master the energy well, and they were a little dry. Later, they gradually mastered the energy. Each plant absorbed about one-third of the energy. In this way, the peanut seedlings don't look much different, even if they look dry. If you spot it, others will think it is from the sun.
Su Mo pulled out while absorbing energy. Originally, the land that Lu Guo shared equally with Su Mo was sandy land that was easier to pull out. After the peanut seedlings were absorbed by Su Mo, the grip of the rhizomes was no longer so strong, making it easier to pull them out.
Soon, Su Mo pulled out a large piece of land.
When Lu Guoping pulled out peanuts for a while and got up to see if the team members were slacking off, he found that Su Mo had already pulled out a large area of ground, and she looked no worse than him.
Being a squad leader these days is not so easy. Not only must we take the lead and do the work quickly and well, but we must also supervise the work of the team members to prevent anyone from cheating and damaging collective assets.
Every day they are the first to come and the last to leave.
Lu Guoping was elected as the squad leader by the villagers because he worked quickly and well.
Lu Guoping blinked in disbelief and realized that it was really a large area.
Could it be that Brother Changzheng was here just now?
But he looked left and right and found no trace of Lu Changzheng.
While he was observing, Su Mo pulled out another small piece of ground. Only then did Lu Guoping believe that Su Mo had pulled it out himself.
Lu Guoping was shocked!
His brother Changzheng is so powerful. In just a few days, a backward labor element was transformed into a labor activist by him.
If his brother Changzheng came back to be the captain of the brigade, their brigade would have already become the advanced brigade.
When Lu Changzheng came over, he found that Su Mo had pulled out a large piece of land. He was a little unbelievable. He quickly walked over and asked in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law, you pulled out all this?"
As soon as Lu Changzheng approached, Su Mo immediately stopped absorbing energy.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"My wife is really amazing." Lu Changzheng quickly praised.
She really can't be judged by her appearance. He originally thought that she was too delicate to do farm work, but now that he looked at her, she was no slower than his mother.
"I don't need you to help me pull them out. You can pick the peanuts for me and take them to Shaiguping at the brigade headquarters."
Pulling out peanuts is not just a matter of pulling them out. You also have to pick the peanuts to Shaiguping and let the aunts pick them. The peanut seedlings must also be collected and given to the donkeys and cows of the production team in winter.
Lu Changzheng quickly tied up several bundles of peanuts on the ground, picked one bundle at each end of the bamboo pole, and carried it to the brigade headquarters with a very agile speed.
Lu Guoping's little fan was filled with praise when he saw it.
Whatever his brother Changzheng does, he is number one.
Lu Guoping bundled up his own peanuts and followed Lu Changzheng.
Seeing that people were already returning to pick peanuts, the children in the village who had been waiting for a long time set off one by one with small bamboo baskets.
When pulling peanuts, there will always be some missing in the field, and the children will go to the field to pick up the remaining peanuts. The peanuts you pick up can be taken to the brigade to exchange for work points, or you can take them home and eat them yourself.
In the past, some aunts would deliberately leave some items out for their children to pick up. Later, after being severely punished several times, this behavior of picking up socialist wool gradually stopped.
