EBE Chapter 129 The Autumn Harvest Begins
Chapter 129 The Autumn Harvest Begins
Ma Juan has been in a bad mood ever since Hu Runshen came. Wang Panpan and the others didn't dare to ask too much. Should they tell her that the man cheated on her?
Or, break up quickly.
Individuals should have a sense of propriety, and as friends, they should stick to the bottom line and not interfere in other people's affairs just because of so-called feelings.
There are some things that you can only know how sincere and heartfelt the advice given to you by others is when you go through them yourself.
So, no one talked much.
The autumn harvest has arrived, and the village chief is still mobilizing the villagers. The villagers are looking at the crops in the fields with pride, because they were planted in the spring.
"Village chief, please stop nagging. The sun will be shining brightly soon. Please arrange the tasks quickly. We will listen to you."
“It’s an old story, and I don’t want to talk about it, but some people just don’t realize it.
I'm putting this here today. Whoever dares to be lazy will have his work points deducted. When the time comes and you have less food than others, don't find fault with me. Not only will I ignore you, I will also deduct the share of your family members.
As long as you are not afraid, you can do whatever you want.
As for the money, don't even think about it. The scorekeeper, please keep a record of it. The accountant, the branch secretary and I will come to supervise it frequently. Once we find any, we will never let it go.
no sooner said than done! "
As soon as the village chief finished speaking, some of the aunts below began to pull their sons' ears. They knew that there were a lot of things to be distributed this year, especially the money, so they must have a share. But now that the village chief had said this, it really angered everyone, so don't blame the villagers for not helping.
Then, the crowd began to move. The squad leader called the roll, which was equivalent to dividing the land. Each team leader supervised and led his team members to the designated land, and the more work, the more rewards.
It was near dawn, and the sun had just woken up. In the golden-red wheat, there were human figures moving, like little sea worms, but human power was strong.
The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and Wang Panpan and Aunt Niu were working together. Aunt Niu was diligent and honest, and she knew what was going on. She would not be lazy or take advantage of others, so she was chosen.
Wang Panpan was also happy. Working with an aunt who was familiar and kind to her made her feel even better.
Of course, many people cannot tolerate Wang Panpan’s work. Even if she has made contributions, this is the autumn harvest.
I haven't tasted that yet, so I simply can't understand why she is allowed to be so free?
Making medicine, that's something that anyone with hands can do, right?
They also specifically advertised that the medicine was effective.
Yes, they admitted that she was smart, but they all thought it was just luck.
It's not the ability she should have. Otherwise, with so many educated youth, how could a little kid succeed? Others have higher education and smarter brains than her, so why can't they succeed?
Humph.
Of course, many people knew about this matter, and although they felt bad, most of them did nothing. Only Wang Jingjing did not expect that this little sister, who had always been a poor creature, would actually turn things around.
Only those letters could express the huge waves in her heart. She kept sending letters to her family, writing about her sorrow and Wang Panpan's stability.
Such a sharp contrast means that everyone knows that Wang Panpan must have climbed up the social ladder, had some adventures, or used the money contributed by threatening them to live a good life.
He smiles all day long and is carefree, and even the villagers flatter him.
Most people can do it, but the villagers are xenophobic.
Anyway, she didn't believe it, so she just waited for her parents to send a letter. By then, Wang Panpan would definitely lose face and no one would like her again.
Thinking of this, Wang Jingjing felt that the work in the fields was not so painful and the sun was not so scorching.
Wang Panpan was almost dying in such weather, but because he had promised the village chief, he could not go back on his word and had to endure it.
"Pan Pan, are you ready?"
"Aunt Niu, it's almost done. Don't worry. We will definitely not let them miss it."
"Well, I'm also unsure. This is the first time I've been assigned to do something like this. It's all thanks to you.
I have to do my best, and please don't think I am an old woman who is nagging."
Aunt Niu was very uneasy, fearing that she might fail to do well and affect Wang Panpan's reputation, but she did not put too much pressure on her. It was just that her expression did not look relaxed.
"Aunt Niu, why do I miss you so much?
You are kindhearted and helped us a lot when we first came. Uncle Niu is even more so. Without his help, we would have to work harder.
Look at us, after the autumn harvest last year, all those pickled vegetables we took care of, which one didn’t cause you trouble?
Don't think like that." Wang Panpan comforted the women in front of him. They were hardworking and virtuous, but they were bound to this place all their lives, so it was normal for them to have such thoughts.
She cannot look down on them or preach to them in a condescending manner just because she has learned two more words. That is not her and she has not reached that level.
"That's good, that's good, is there anything else I can do?"
"Aunt Niu, you should take a rest. I think these medicines are fine. As long as the fire burns vigorously, they will be ready in a while. I will send them to them later."
Wang Panpan had to keep an eye on the big pot. Although it was not very obvious, he had to watch carefully when putting the herbs in. If he made a mistake, it would not be helping but harming others.
The consequences were not so pretty.
"Okay, okay, you are really kind-hearted."
Wang Panpan smiled after hearing this. She didn’t know what to say, but smiling and pretending to be stupid was the most basic courtesy.
She thought: Aunt Niu is really amazing. She was the one who fetched water early this morning, went to the stove, washed the pots, moved the herbs, and did all kinds of chores, and she had to listen to the orders of a junior like her.
It’s really tiring to do these things.
"Aunt Niu, it's done."
"Hey, Panpan, is the taste right?" Aunt Niu looked at the so-called cold soup with some curiosity. It smelled bad and the color looked pitch black, like poison. Is this thing drinkable?
Faced with her questioning, Wang Panpan did not give much explanation, but just smiled mysteriously.
Next, it has nothing to do with Wang Panpan.
Because the village is divided into groups for the autumn harvest, as long as the medicine is delivered to the group on time, someone will come to drink it.
Aunt Niu led a group of unattended little kids towards the fields.
Wang Panpan also took out his straw hat and started to help.
They took out specially prepared buckets and bowls for drinking water and delivered them to the groups one by one.
Under the scorching sun, everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Oh, you guys really made it. Is this drinkable?"
"Yeah, I'm not afraid of getting sick after drinking."
"Uncle village chief is being unreasonable. What is he thinking? He lets her do whatever she wants and doesn't care about it. He also wastes labor to help her."
"If you don't want to drink it, give it to me. Anyway, I believe in Wang Zhiqing. It's just that she really doesn't have the ability to build such a large factory in our village."
"Don't grab mine, it's not your turn yet."
"Huh, you talk too much nonsense then."
People were smiling, their skin was dark and sweat was pouring down their cheeks. Some people were actually complaining, but they didn't dare let Wang Panpan hear it.
The village chief has already warned you, so if you really don’t want to believe it, don’t drink it.
Anyway, it’s just a casual thing. If you really have heatstroke, don’t delay and find a solution yourself.
Nobody cares.
So, although they were reluctant to take the medicine, they also did not want to be the one that held them back, having to earn work points while also losing face.
No one wants to be the culprit and be publicly executed.
If the quantity was not fixed, they would still want to rush to drink it. If something went wrong, the educated youth would not be able to escape. If it was a good thing, it would be a profit.
The villagers saw Wang Panpan next to her, helping her and smiling at her.
Wang Panpan looked at this group of great people and sighed that they were the most lovely people. Without them, where would all the food come from?
Everyone wants to climb the social ladder and live a good life, but there are always some people who are content with being ordinary and living a life of working from sunrise to sunset.
Repeating day and night, tirelessly.
The trips were exhausting. Later, Wang Panwang almost collapsed from exhaustion. She didn't carry that much water, but she couldn't stand the fatigue even under the scorching sun.
It’s hard to imagine how much endurance these people have to survive. They were so tired from the autumn harvest that they lost half of their fat. It doesn’t seem fake.
Fortunately, there are only two trips a day. With Aunt Niu as a great helper, Wang Panpan is simply rich and blessed.
