Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Cheng Yujuan held her face in her hands and smiled. Her big watery eyes were full of admiration. She said to Han Zhaozhao, "Han Zhaozhao, what you said is so good! No wonder you are good at studying. You said it so beautifully. I can't say it. Every time I write an essay, I have a hard time and don't know what to write."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the class leaders and group leaders came back one after another.

Han Zhaozhao took a look and estimated that there were basically enough seeds and seedlings, so there wouldn't be much shortage.

But when she looked at the tools again, she was dumbfounded. Can you believe it? There were five groups of thirty-six people in their class, and the school only allocated two shoulder poles, four iron buckets, two hoes, and seven gourd ladles.

Han Zhaozhao smiled bitterly. Look, the pain of the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production has continued to this day. I believe it will continue in the next few years!

The old class teacher came, and another math teacher also came. However, the math teacher was responsible for teaching math to several classes, so he was only responsible for patrolling and guiding the work of a few classes.

The one who really worries about the matter is our class teacher, who is in charge of allocating tools and tasks.

After the assignment, the students started to work.

Their group did not receive any buckets of water for the time being, only a hoe.

After everyone discussed it, five boys were responsible for digging holes and carrying water, while three girls were taken care of and assigned to water the holes, plant seeds and grow seedlings.

Because there was only one hoe and the tools were not enough, the boys took turns doing the work.

Without digging the hole and watering it, the seeds cannot be planted. The girls looked at each other in confusion and could only sit on the field and wait.

At first, Han Zhaozhao just sat there and threw pebbles. After an hour, when he looked back, the boys had not even finished half of the work.

Their team was divided into three parts, and at this rate, it would take them two days to finish the work.

Han Zhaozhao didn't want to stand out at first. There was already a teacher in charge, so how could she stand out?

But after verification, Han Zhaozhao found that she was still narrow-minded. Being older doesn't mean you know everything!

Their class teacher is a genuine city dweller who knows almost nothing about farming - but he knows nothing at all!

She is not even as good at doing farm work as some boys.

If there is no other way, you have to find a way!

Han Zhaozhao tugged at Cheng Yujuan's sleeve and whispered to her to call the team leader over.

The three of them whispered for a while and went to the logistics utility room together.

When the door opened, what caught my eye was a room full of messy wood, old tables and chairs, wooden sticks, bamboo poles, and a pile of old books in the innermost corner.

Sunlight filtered through the window, tiny dust particles danced in the light, and a rustling sound was heard. Two large rats ran arrogantly past the crowd, and before they burrowed under the wall, they looked back at them provocatively.

"Ah, rat!" Cheng Yuwa shouted sharply.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a mouse. Why didn't you catch it last year?"

Team leader Wang Wei was puzzled.

"How dare I catch a mouse?" Cheng Yujuan stepped back repeatedly and retreated a few steps to the corridor outside the door.

"How did you complete the school assignment? I remember you handed in the rat tail?"

Wang Wei asked, don't lie to him, he remembered it very clearly.

"My brother caught it and handed it in for me. Rats look so disgusting, I wouldn't dare catch them." Cheng Yujuan said confidently. Anyway, she had completed the task at that time, and the teacher didn't say that family members were not allowed to catch rats on her behalf.

Wang Wei: "Humph, so pretentious!"

Han Zhaozhao didn't interfere in their affairs and just smiled.

Wang Wei and I went into the house and picked and chose, and the three of them found a bunch of usable things.

I went to the logistics department to ask the teacher on duty for a small handful of nails and borrowed a hammer and a hand saw.

The three of them worked hard and made several sets of tools.

When they brought everything back to the field, the teacher was shocked.

"Hey, you three are really smart! Is this for digging holes? Is this for carrying water? Is this made from an old chair? Wang Wei, is this thing okay? Will it leak?"

The students were amazed at the wooden hoe made from a small wooden board and a pickaxe handle, and the square bucket made by nailing the wooden boards together after sawing off the back of an old chair.

"Teacher, the gap is not big, just fill it with mud. I can't say it's leak-proof, but it's better than just waiting, right?"

Wang Wei is confident.

The male students nodded one after another: "Yes, just cover it with mud, it won't be a big problem!"

Which boy is not good at playing in the mud? He can do this!

The students excitedly redistributed the tools, and almost everyone got an iron hoe or a wooden hoe.

With wooden buckets, they could fetch water at the same time. Two boys formed a group and tied hemp ropes and carried bamboo poles to fetch water.

The ground was turned over and it was effortless to dig a hole with a wooden hoe, and the efficiency was just as good as using an iron hoe.

All the students in a group got moving, some were digging holes, some were carrying water, some were watering, some were planting seeds, and some were planting seedlings. Everyone worked without sparing any effort.

The boys in Group 1 were really great. They took turns doing the heavy work like carrying water, and didn't let the three girls do it at all.

The boys were also responsible for digging the holes, while the girls only had to use the watering cans to water the holes, plant the seeds, and finally drain the water to seal the holes.

The water hole they were drawing water from was not far from their land, only about 500 meters away. The school had been filled with water a day in advance, and all the classes were there to get water.

They worked very quickly, and by the time school was over at noon, more than half of the three acres of land had been planted. The remaining one-third could be completed in the afternoon.

For fear of losing the tools, a group of students took the trouble to collect them and carried them back to the classroom, and even locked the door after school.

Sitting on the steps at the classroom door, the students lined up and began to take off their shoes, knocking the mud out of their shoes with a "pa pa" sound.

The girls were fine, as their shoes were mostly filled with dry dirt. However, the boys had to fetch water repeatedly, so most of their shoes were covered with a layer of mud.

After cleaning the dirt from their shoes, everyone lined up to leave school. In the line, the sound of "gurgling! gurgling" came one after another. Han Zhaozhao covered his mouth and laughed. Everyone was hungry.

After leaving the school gate, the students were like horses out of a pen. No one cared about each other. They rushed out and ran home as fast as they could.

"Zhao Zhao, Han Zhaozhao, here, here!" Han Zhaozhao walked out of the school gate slowly. From a distance, he saw Niu Xiaoyun jumping high and waving vigorously to greet him more than 20 meters to the right of the school gate.

"Why are you alone? Where are the others? Haven't they come out yet?"

Niu Xiaoyun put her arm around her and said as they walked, "Let's go early. These guys are so disloyal that they are almost at their limit.

Xiao Sanzi also left, saying that he was very hungry and wanted to go home to eat.

Zhao Zhao, I told you that Xiao Sanzi is not good enough. Don’t let him eat delicious food in the future. Huh, he is not starving to death. He won’t do anything even if I wait for a while. What kind of person is he? If he does this again, we will break up with him next time!"

Han Zhaozhao pinched her cheek amusedly and said, "If you two meet a hundred times a year, it would be at least ninety times.

I don't want to bother with you. I finally understand that you two are just beggars gritting their teeth - poor but resentful!

He said this with gritted teeth, and forgot to even try to turn around and started making trouble again.

No one will help you settle this confusing lawsuit!

By the way, are you hungry? Here, I have two pieces of dried sweet potatoes in my pocket. Eat some first."
