A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Shen Jiaren sat on the stool and soaked her feet for a while. After she started to sweat slightly, she decided not to continue soaking her feet.

Shen Jiaren cleaned the footbath bucket and put it back in the west room, then went back to the main room to sleep.

Maybe because of taking a bath and soaking her feet, Shen Jiaren fell asleep as soon as she lay down under the quilt on the kang.

The next day, Shen Jiaren got up after the alarm clock rang.

Shen Jiaren simply washed up, drank some egg water, ate the chicken legs left over from yesterday in the refrigerator, and then prepared to go out.

Before leaving, Shen Jiaren thought that it was autumn harvest time and she would sweat a lot, so she couldn't just drink water.

Shen Jiaren went back into the house, sprinkled some salt into the military water bottle she carried with her, tasted it, and when it started to taste salty, she stopped adding salt.

I went back to the manor and got some White Rabbit milk candies, fruit hard candies, and some peach cakes, then put them in my bag and prepared to start work.

As soon as Shen Jiaren walked near the educated youth site, she saw the educated youth there also coming out, but some of them didn't look very happy, especially Chen Jiaojiao and Zhao Yuanchao.

When Shen Jiaren saw them coming, she nodded and joined the team that was preparing to go to the brigade's warehouse together.

In fact, Shen Jiaren was very curious about what Chen Jiaojiao was up to, but she thought that she had a bad relationship with her and asking at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire and making fun of her, so she resisted the urge to ask. Anyway, the gossip would be spread in the afternoon or the next day, so it would be a matter of time before it was known.

When Shen Jiaren thought about it this way, she was no longer curious.

When they arrived at the warehouse door, the team leader was already standing there, asking everyone to lead their partners to their respective mission fields to prepare for work.

The reason why Captain Liu Dashan stood there was not only to find a partner for his partner, but also to stand there in case anything else happened so that he could solve it in the first time.

The purpose of finding partners is to take the newly arrived educated youth into consideration, because some of them are not familiar with the people in the village yet, so it is convenient for those who work to pair up quickly. Of course, it is not excluded that each of them calls their own people in front of the warehouse, but some villagers may not remember the names of their partners. It is also possible to find a scorer, but with so many people it will be messy for the scorer, so the team leader Liu Dashan can stand there and help find the person faster.

Shen Jiaren had just stood at the door of the warehouse when she heard the team leader Liu Dashan calling her, "Shen Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, your partner is over there, from Xiao Zhou's family, from Xiao Zhou's family, your partner is here, the educated youth who saved old Liu's grandson. Hurry up and take him to the task field where you are going to work." Team leader Liu Dashan called out while pointing in the direction of Shen Jiaren with his hand.

Shen Jiaren looked in the direction of the captain Li Dashan's hand and found an auntie walking towards her. Shen Jiaren looked closely and realized it was an old acquaintance. Wasn't this the person who advised Aunt Zhou to find the captain when Chen Jiaojiao and Aunt Zhou had an argument that day? That's it. Not to mention anything else, at least from that incident, she is a good person and they should be able to get along with each other and reason with each other.

Aunt Zhou came over and heard the team leader say that this educated youth Shen Jiaren was the one who saved the man. Then she walked over and saw that this was the educated youth who worked with her aunt when she had the quarrel that day.

As soon as Aunt Zhou saw this educated youth, she instantly felt that her autumn harvest work points this year would probably be discounted. After all, when they worked together before, although this girl was always working, she didn't produce any results. Moreover, she had seen this educated youth arguing with her aunt. She was quite a tough one.

The most important thing is that before it was just the easiest job of weeding, but this educated youth did it like that. Now it’s autumn harvest time, which is even harder than before. Can he still pull weeds like he did before?

As Shen Jiaren walked towards the aunt, she saw that her facial expression was getting sadder and sadder. She suddenly felt happy. Did she think of something sad when she saw me? Or did she think that I was going to drag her hind legs so hard that her front legs could not be seen?

The more Shen Jiaren thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh. After all, this auntie didn't make things difficult for her. Instead, she was thinking about her own miserable experience as a partner. This proved that at least this little Aunt Zhou was not like Aunt Zhou, who liked to take advantage of others when she was not forgiving with her words. It seemed that they could still be negotiated.

After Shen Jiaren walked up to Auntie Xiao Zhou, she smiled and called out, "Hello, Auntie Xiao Zhou."

When Auntie Zhou saw the educated youth smiling at her, she couldn't help but grin and said, "Hello, educated youth Shen, let's go. I'll take you to our mission field."

Shen Jiaren looked at Auntie Zhou's rich facial expressions, and even before hitting the smiling face, she smiled even more brightly, because this at least proved that she had good luck when she drew lots to choose a partner.

After Shen Jiaren and Aunt Zhou arrived at the mission field, they began to work together.

Aunt Zhou held the sickle and demonstrated to Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, I'm not very good at explaining, and I'm afraid you don't understand. Watch my movements and I'll do them for you a few more times. Watch carefully. If you don't understand something, remember to ask me."

"Well, then, Aunt Zhou, where should I stand to watch? I'm afraid that I'm standing in the wrong position and affecting you. I want to ask you, should I stand in the front? Behind? On the left? Or on the right?" Shen Jiaren answered Aunt Zhou.

"Stand to the right of my crouching body. The left side is where the beam knife will be used, and the right side is safer. Watch my hand and waist movements carefully.

Because harvesting rice requires a lot of effort on the waist, so you need to pay attention to the coordination between your hands and eyes, otherwise you will get hurt easily." Auntie Zhou said to Shen Jiaren while performing the movements.

"Yes, I will observe carefully, Aunt Zhou."

When Aunt Zhou heard Shen Jiaren's answer, she began to slow down her movements so that Shen Jiaren could see her movements clearly.

After Auntie Zhou demonstrated it several times, she asked, "Shen Zhiqing, do you understand now?"

"Auntie Xiao Zhou, I understand, but I'm afraid my eyes can do it, but my hands can't."

“It doesn’t matter, this is what needs to be practiced.

Now you stand next to me and start cutting. Cut fewer rows and I will cut more. This way I can still keep an eye on you and you can ask me if you have any questions.

It is important to note that when you first start mowing, you must do it slowly and in small amounts and multiple times. Once you are used to it, you can slowly increase the amount and speed up.

Do you remember it? "

"Yeah, remember that. Thank you, Auntie Zhou. I'll actually try it now. If there's anything wrong, just tell me directly."

"You go first, I'll take my time and watch."
