So that's how it is!
Since ancient times, there have been countless such things!
He Jingyu smiled and said, "It's good this way. He has his responsibilities. They can't stand such dullness in Qijia Village."
"Maybe." He Tiantian said, "I saw that Grandpa Bai's eyes were burning and he was more energetic than usual. I knew that he was still eager to resume work again."
"Yes, since you can't let go, then fight for it." He Jingyu said, "Now that we have this opportunity, of course we can't let it go."
"Now think about it, Grandpa Qi, you can really let it go. Few people can do it." He Tiantian said, and she admired Old Man Qi even more in her heart.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, and each has his own tastes. Only you can taste it yourself." He Jingyu also admired Old Man Qi, but he also admired Old Man Bai.
Wang Shuping got up early in the morning and made a small pot of soft scallion pancakes, wrapped them in oil paper, tied them with a hemp rope, and said, "Tiantian, the three elders left, and we have nothing good to give them. I made some scallion pancakes and boiled ten eggs. You can send them and keep them for them to eat on the way."
"Okay!" He Tiantian carried the oil paper bag and a small net bag of eggs and went to the livestock team.
Old man Bai and others were ready to go and sat on the ox cart.
"Grandpa Bai, Uncle Zuo, Uncle Xiang, these are the scallion pancakes made by my mother, and boiled eggs. Take them and eat them on the way." He Tiantian smiled and said goodbye to them.
In Qijia Village this year, the three of them received help from many people, among which He Tiantian helped the most attentively.
"We have had breakfast, and we can eat in the county town at noon. You can keep these things for yourself." Old man Bai refused. These good things should be left for He Tiantian.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Grandpa Bai, take it. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and there is enough food to eat."
"Take it, this is a kind gift from Tianya." Zuo Li reached out to take it. He missed the taste of He's scallion pancakes.
Old man Bai was touched and nodded, "Thank you Tianya, we will meet again if we are destined to."
After chatting with everyone for a while, Village Chief Qi drove the ox cart and took Old Man Bai, Zuo Li and others to the county town.
With three people missing, the animal husbandry team seemed to be missing many people, much quieter than usual.
At the same time, the tasks of He Tiantian and others became heavier.
The autumn harvest is coming soon. There are so many animals in the animal husbandry team's animal pen. They need to eat a lot of green grass every day, and they also need to store hay as feed for the winter.
Secretary Qi waved his hand and asked Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, and Ye Xiaofan to come and help. Those who gave work points were also happy to do so.
As for Sister Wu, the reason she couldn't come was because she was pregnant.
The two of them will soon become a family of three, so Wang Lei has to work harder and earn more work points so that he can get more money during the Chinese New Year. Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan have been saving money for the betrothal gifts. Now they have the opportunity to earn more work points, and they are also very happy!
"Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, Sister Xiaofan, fortunately you came to support us, otherwise Aunt Liu and I can't do so much work at all." He Tiantian smiled. Secretary Qi said that we must prepare fodder for the winter before the autumn harvest.
Because after the autumn harvest, we have to go to the river. When we come back, it will be too late in late autumn.
In order to complete the task, Aunt Liu of the animal husbandry team led He Tiantian, Wang Lei, Zhang Qingshan, Ye Xiaofan, Professor Gu and other eight people to cut grass, and they were busy.
Because of the heavy task, He Tiantian is thinner than before.
Wang Shuping felt distressed and tried to make some delicious food to nourish her daughter.
Wang Shuping and He Jingyu are agricultural experts supporting Huai City. Together, they earn more than 100 yuan in salary, plus some food coupons and subsidies, so the family of four lives a prosperous life.
Since He Jingyu and his wife came, Grandma Qi San has been smiling all day long, and she is full of energy.
After a busy half month, it is finally the golden autumn of autumn harvest, the season for harvesting rice.
Looking around, the flat ground and the terraced fields are all golden, and the heavy rice ears are bent.
This is the food for the second half of the year!
After Secretary Qi held a mobilization meeting, the autumn harvest began.
Because the villagers can get food after the harvest, everyone's face is full of smiles.
This time, every time it is about to rain, there is no need for He Tiantian to secretly remind Village Chief Qi!
This job was taken by He Jingyu.
"Tiantian, your dad is amazing. He said it would rain today, and it really rained." Aunt Liu, who worked in the animal husbandry team, asked with a smile, "How could your dad have such magical powers?"
"Haha, my dad is engaged in agricultural research. He usually pays more attention to the weather and knows a lot of meteorological knowledge. He can make relatively accurate judgments based on the weather, air, trees and other surrounding environments." He Tiantian said proudly, his dad is the most amazing.
"I see!" Ye Xiaofan nodded, "It's still better to be educated! Alas, there is no university now, and we don't have the conditions to study if we want to!"
"As long as you want to study, you can always study." He Tiantian said, "Brother Wang Lei, didn't you graduate from high school? When you have nothing to do, you can also study. If one day you can take the college entrance examination, or the college recruits people, we can take the exam at any time."
Wang Lei sighed and said, "Alas, anyway, I didn't catch up with the good times. I have almost forgotten the things I learned over the years. If I have textbooks, I may still remember them."
He Tiantian smiled. Wang Lei is a top student. He got the first place in Taoyuan County!
"I have textbooks, but I can't lend them to you. If you come to my house, I can show them to you. You can copy them back and learn by yourself. If you don't know, you can ask Professor Gu and Professor Wang." He Tiantian suggested, hoping that they can keep reading and take the college entrance examination in more than five years.
Unexpectedly, the most enthusiastic one was Ye Xiaofan: "Okay, Tiantian, I will go to your place to read books and copy questions."
"Sister Xiaofan, why do you want to study?" He Tiantian asked, a little surprised.
Ye Xiaofan is also a generous girl. She said seriously: "Our generation didn't catch up with the good times, but my child may catch up. I have learned it and will teach my child in the future. When he grows up, he will be successful, just like me."
Zhang Qingshan smiled and continued: "I will learn it too, but I can't be outdone by the child's mother."
"Haha!" Wang Lei laughed, "Then I have to learn it even more. My child will be born during the Chinese New Year."
After half a month of high-intensity labor, the autumn harvest was finally completed and winter wheat was planted in the field.
Then, it was time to pay the public grain.
