A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

After Shen Jiaren returned to her own yard, she took a bag of frozen dumplings from the kitchen of the manor and cooked them on the coal stove in the yard. After eating and washing the dishes, she boiled some water to drink in the evening and to take with her tomorrow.

As Shen Jiaren watched the dumplings boiling in the casserole, she couldn't help but wonder what she would eat for lunch tomorrow.

We might all have lunch together tomorrow, so I can't bring peach cakes again, right? It's not appropriate to bring anything else, because there are too many people, and if the food is too eye-catching, it will offend people and cause trouble.

But what should I eat tomorrow? Nothing is good.

Shen Jiaren looked at the boiling dumplings for a long time but still couldn't think of what to eat. She thought that she should just finish the current meal first.

After a tiring day, she was tired and hungry at the moment. She just wanted to eat and leave the rest to herself.

After Shen Jiaren finished her meal, she filled the coal stove with firewood and started a fire. After dinner, Shen Jiaren took a walk in the yard and saw that the moon was really round and big.

Looking at the moon, Shen Jiaren knew what she would eat tomorrow. She would make rice balls. She only needed to steam them. If it was inconvenient for them to be seen by others, she could cut them into smaller pieces and wrap them inside the rice balls. She would then wrap the outside of the rice balls with a layer of miscellaneous grains. She would wrap each one smaller so that it would not attract attention when she ate it and it would taste better.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren looked at the coal stove and kitchen in the yard. It was impossible to do it in the yard, so Shen Jiaren went into the manor and started working in the kitchen.

When preparing to stew the rice, Shen Jiaren thought it was too troublesome to stew two kinds of rice, so she just made a portion of coarse grain rice. While the rice was stewing, Shen Jiaren went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After Shen Jiaren came out of the shower, she saw that the rice was steamed, so she went to the yard to get a lunch box and started to make brown rice balls.

When kneading the brown rice balls, Shen Jiaren thought for a long time about what to put in them. She thought about it for a long time, but unfortunately she could only think about it and could not do it.

Seeing the leftover cold shredded chicken and pork floss in the refrigerator, Shen Jiaren began to knead rice balls, each of which was small enough to be eaten in one bite, and then put shredded chicken in some, pork floss in some, and rolled some in sugar to make them sweet.

After kneading for a while and filling up the lunch box, Shen Jiaren packed up the remaining brown rice and put it in the refrigerator. She took the lunch box and left the manor, returning to the yard to prepare for bed.

After washing her hands, Shen Jiaren lay on the kang, thinking about the quarrel she had today. Normally, Shen Jiaren would not even look at this kind of gossip. After all, in a quarrel, who knows what the other party might do beyond common sense, and it would be bad if she was accidentally injured.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired, or maybe it's because there are no other entertainment activities here, so when I can gossip, I cherish it more and want to gossip more.

In fact, everyone was so tired. Everyone was exhausted after a day's work and had to continue working the next day, so they all rushed back to rest. Maybe everyone wanted to see how the educated youth quarreled, and whether they quarreled like the women in the village, who would start fighting after just a few words.

When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she smiled. Her spiritual world and her wild thoughts were really amazing. It was a bit too outrageous that she could even YY to this point.

Let’s go to sleep. After all, we have autumn harvest tomorrow, and sleep is the important thing.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren turned over. Maybe because she was tired after a long day, as soon as her brain stopped wandering, Shen Jiaren fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Shen Jiaren got up after the alarm rang. Relaxing on the kang, she was thinking, what should I eat this morning? She couldn't make do with anything, after all, she had to do heavy work all day. But if she cooked with oil, there would be a fishy smell. When Shen Jiaren thought of this, she felt that she was a little extravagant. In this era of lack of food and clothing, she was still being picky.

Forget it, let's eat dumplings. Today we'll eat soup dumplings with some lard and dried shrimps. They'll be delicious and satisfying. Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren got up and went into the manor. After washing up in the manor, she went to the kitchen to cook.

After eating, Shen Jiaren took a shower, found some biscuits in the warehouse, and left the yard.

She prepared salt water, biscuits, some candy, and a lunch box, put them in her bag, and prepared to go to work. Shen Jiaren suddenly felt very hungry and wanted to eat an apple, so she returned to the manor and took an apple and cut it in half, preparing to eat half now and put the other half in the refrigerator.

Shen Jiaren peeled the core of the apple she was eating, threw the core into the ground in the yard, and went out to eat the apple. Before she had taken a few steps, she had finished the apple. When she finished eating, Shen Jiaren saw the educated youth who were also going out to work.

Shen Jiaren saw that the educated youths all looked unhappy, and some of them even had gloomy faces. She did not dare to ask what had happened. She nodded and gestured to the educated youths she knew, then she met up with them and prepared to go to work together.

After arriving at today's task field, Shen Jiaren found that Auntie Xiao Zhou was already waiting for her at the edge of the field. Shen Jiaren ran a few steps over and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Auntie Xiao Zhou, am I late?

I'm really sorry, I don't have a watch. When I came here, I followed the large group of educated youths. The scorekeeper was also there counting the number of people who came, and he also hurried to the mission field after hearing the whistle for work.

Sorry, I might have been delayed at the warehouse."

"No, no, you are not late, it is me who arrived early. You can also blame me for forgetting to tell you yesterday. When we were rushing to harvest in autumn, we were used to arriving a little early in the morning, going back to our homes for a nap at noon, and then going to work as usual in the afternoon and going back early in the evening. Some people would stay up a little in the afternoon, work faster, and go back as usual in the evening. How do you want to work?" Aunt Zhou saw Shen Jiaren embarrassedly explaining her work situation, and hurriedly said to Shen Jiaren.

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment and then asked, "Aunt, I want to ask, how early is this and how late is this? If this time affects the evening work, how long will it affect?"

Auntie Xiao Zhou replied, "In the morning, it takes one and a half to two hours, because the sun rises early in autumn.

In the afternoon, we will be late by half an hour to an hour because it gets dark late, but it is too hot at noon.

As for the specific time, we can discuss it. After all, you may not be used to it at this time.

Of course, we can maintain what the captain said, it mainly depends on you."

After Shen Jiaren heard the time Auntie Xiao Zhou said, she thought for a moment and asked Auntie Xiao Zhou, "What time do you want?"

Auntie Xiao Zhou replied, "My idea is that it's one hour each. Come one hour earlier in the morning and one hour later in the afternoon. As long as we finish the work and let the scorekeeper check it, it's fine. As long as the task is completed and done well, there will be no problem with the team."

After thinking about this time, Shen Jiaren felt that it was not bad. Although she got up early in the morning, she had more time for lunch break, and she could go back to rest. She didn't have to bring food with her, which was not bad either. So she replied, "Then let's do as you said. Should we start at this time today, or tomorrow?"

Auntie Xiao Zhou said, "Let's go tomorrow. If we go according to that time today, we will be too late to go home after work in the afternoon.

By the way, in order to prevent you from having trouble finding the mission field tomorrow, I will wait for you in the wheat field in front of the brigade warehouse. Just remember to look for me when the time comes."

Shen Jiaren replied, "Yes, auntie, I understand."

After saying this, the two men stood in two directions and began to harvest rice.

After cutting for a while, Shen Jiaren discovered while drinking water that the person tying rice in her rice field was no longer Uncle Liu Jun, but Liu Hui. What's more important was that some rice had also been cut behind the row of rice that Shen Jiaren was cutting.

Shen Jiaren couldn't help but wonder, is this a change of people? ? Wasn't it Uncle Liu Jun and Aunt Aihua who were next door yesterday, and Uncle Liu Jun was bundling rice and helping Aunt Aihua to harvest rice? ? Why is it Liu Hui today? What happened? Or is it just a change of people?

Before Shen Jiaren could get curious, she found that Aunt Aihua saw her standing up and looking at the back of the rice field, so she walked over to her and said, "Starting today, his son Liu Hui will help her work and bundle the rice on his back. He will take over his father's part of the autumn harvest task, and his father Uncle Liu Jun will do other work.

Now it is autumn harvest and tractors are no longer used. Human labor is needed, so everyone needs to go to the fields. His son felt sorry for his father because the task field was a bit far away to carry rice, so the two of them exchanged work points.

After the autumn harvest, we will probably work together.”

After hearing this, Shen Jiaren nodded and said to Zhang Aihua, "Yes, I understand, Auntie. Just don't let my progress affect Brother Liu Hui's autumn harvest task points."

Zhang Aihua heard the answer and said, "How could that be? Young people are in their prime, very strong and energetic, and are just right for autumn harvest and working hard. Don't think too much about it. I will tell my son to work harder, talk less, keep a certain distance from you, and protect your reputation."

After listening to this, Shen Jiaren nodded and said nothing more.

After the two of them finished discussing this topic, they went back to work.
