The three educated youths came at the right time, just in time for the autumn harvest.

The world is big, but grain is the most important. No matter what else you do, you have to put it aside. Even the school has a busy farming season.

Zhou Jiahe doesn't have to participate in labor. Now she not only reads newspapers, but also shouts slogans on the radio to encourage everyone to work hard and harvest grain as soon as possible.

"Grasp the revolution to promote production. Grain is a brick. Move it wherever it is needed. Comrades, work hard and work harder."

"Don't be afraid of hardship, don't forget your original intention and seek happiness. Don't be afraid of tiredness, remember your mission and create the future."

In addition, some revolutionary songs should be played. At this time, the more exciting the tune, the better.

Everyone worked against the clock to load the wheat into the warehouse before the continuous rain came. The sun was strong at noon, and it was easy to get into trouble when working under the scorching sun. In order to avoid this time period, everyone had to get up at about four o'clock in the morning to work.

Harvesting wheat is a technical job, but also a physical job. The wheat awns pricked the body, which was painful and itchy. Everyone had to work in long clothes and long pants. After moving for a while, the clothes were soaked with sweat.

The team leader took the lead and organized a labor competition to make everyone more energetic.

As the radio stopped, everyone threw away the things in their hands and went home to eat. After a short rest, they continued to work.

At this time, all children had to help, and the younger ones carried small baskets and followed the adults to pick up the wheat ears that fell on the ground.

In addition to reading the radio to encourage everyone, Zhou Jiahe also took on a task given by the team leader. It was mainly because she said that it was so hot, and it would be better to boil some herbs to drink.

The team leader listened and went to the commune clinic to buy some, and then gave it to Zhou Jiahe, asking her to help boil it, and assigned her a few children to help.

The children helped to pick firewood, and Zhou Jiahe was responsible for boiling hot water, and when it cooled down, she asked the children to take it and distribute it to everyone.

The boiled water had herbs in it, and it tasted a little bitter, but after the bitterness wore off, it tasted sweet.

"What kind of water is this? It tastes really good." Someone smacked his lips.

"It's said to be boiled water with some herbs that can cool you down. Zhou Zhiqing said so, and the team leader went to the commune health center to get the medicine. It tastes pretty good."

After everyone drank it, they continued to work hard.

Autumn harvest is a physical job. Every family no longer eats watery soup. They eat dry rice, of course, mixed with grains. The meat is the marinated bacon that they can't bear to eat after the New Year, and the fish and wild boar that they got last time. Many families just made some to taste, and saved the rest for this critical time, and paired it with some side dishes made of radishes and cucumbers from their own plots.

These are all the best rice. This year's autumn harvest is particularly rich in oil and water. Everyone is full and energetic.

After fighting for seven or eight days, the wheat in the field was finally harvested.

The harvested wheat was transported to the threshing ground, spread out and dried directly, and the millstone was pulled back and forth by oxen to roll the wheat grains out of the husks. After the dried wheat was packed and weighed, it was put into the warehouse. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
