She looked up at the sky. It was still dark. The moon was hanging high in the sky. The moon was very bright tonight. The moonlight shone down and she could see the ground clearly.
Uncle Shen, Shen Jiabao and others got up, scooped a bucket of water, washed their faces casually, and went out.
Gu Jiandong got up earlier than Shen Shuyu. He was hungry, so he took out some white flour and baked some pancakes.
The pancakes were baked, and seeing that she had gotten up, he took a comb and a hairband and skillfully helped Shen Shuyu braid her hair.
Shen Qiu was always envious when she saw this scene. She even acted coquettishly with her brother and asked him to braid her hair. However, Shen Jiaguo was a rough man, so how could he braid his sister's hair? He either used too much force and pulled Shen Qiu's hair so hard that it hurt, or he could not pull all her hair, so her hair was loose and he could not braid a single braid for a long time!
After Shen Shuyu's braids were braided, the three of them went out. Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen had already arrived at the threshing ground.
Seeing them, the old couple waved and said, "My dear, you can carry the sack onto the ox cart later. When the cart is full, you can sit on it and go to the commune with the cart.
Jiandong, later you will take the shoulder pole and carry the grain to the commune with everyone else.
Xiaoqiu, play here for a while, then go home and sleep. You are not needed here."
Carrying grain is hard work, and Shen Qiu was not able to help at all. She walked around the threshing ground and saw that she was really not needed, so she went home to sleep.
The oxcart arrived, and Shen Shuyu lifted the bags of grain onto the cart with one hand. Everyone was amazed to see how easily she could lift a bag of grain weighing more than 200 yuan.
"Shu Yu girl is really strong!"
"That's right. If only I could be as strong as her."
The ox cart was full, and Shen Shuyu climbed onto it, sitting on top of the grain. She called out, "Uncle, we can go now."
When Uncle Shen heard his niece's voice, he cracked his whip and the ox cart started moving slowly.
The people carrying the food on shoulder poles followed the ox carts in a line. It took so long and the food was so heavy that if they didn't change people in the middle of the journey, they would be exhausted.
Fortunately, their team does not have much but a lot of strong laborers. When they are tired, they can replace them at any time.
Shen Jiabao saw Jiandong picking for a long time, and hurried over to take over, "Jiandong, you take a break, let me pick."
Gu Jiandong shook his head, "I'm not tired! Go switch with someone else."
These past few days, Gu Jiandong's mind has been filled with scattered fragments. In these fragments, he was very quiet and had a sour face every day. Everyone called him Gu Tuan. He seemed very powerful and always loved to run when he had nothing to do, even carrying heavy things on his back...
Therefore, it was nothing for him to carry this little bit of food now. He asked Shen Jiabao to help others. Gu Jiandong smiled at Shen Shuyu on the ox cart.
Gu Jiandong loves to laugh now. When he laughs, Shen Shuyu laughs with him. It seems that there is only each other in their eyes.
Today is the day to pay public grain. Not only did the people from Shenjiaba Brigade set out in the dark, but on the way out, Shen Shuyu saw many people going to other brigades.
Some brigades set out even earlier, at around one o'clock. Their brigades could not carry all the food in one trip, so they had to go back to the commune to carry it again. The next day, they did not carry the food manually, but the ox carts could load it all at once.
Gu Jiandong wanted to stay with Shen Shuyu, so when he went back to pull the ox cart for the second time, it was Gu Jiandong who drove the cart. At first, Uncle Shen was quite worried. The kid was capable, but his mind was a little simple after all. If he asked him to drive the ox cart to transport grain, what if he didn't know how to drive it, the ox would suddenly run away, and the ox cart would overturn. Any loss of the oxen and grain would be a huge loss for their team.
He was worried, so when Gu Jiandong was driving the ox cart, he got on and followed for a while. Seeing that he drove the ox cart very well, and his niece solemnly promised to take good care of Jiandong, Uncle Shen let her go. After all, his niece was very reliable most of the time.
When the ox cart arrived at the commune again, Uncle Shen saw that the grain and the oxen were safe and sound, and the worry in his heart disappeared.
There were several brigades that had set out earlier than them, and some even had tractors that could carry all the food in one trip, without having to carry it manually. The brigades with tractors were ranked first.
Their Shenjiaba Brigade was ranked fifth, which was considered to be in the front. Shen Erzhu thought that they would be ranked last because they started late.
If you are at the end of the line and have to wait for a long time, it would be really a torture. You know, the staff who eat government food are all arrogant nowadays. The longer they work, the more impatient they become. When they are angry, they will make up a reason and say that the grain acceptance does not meet the standards and ask for it to be taken back. The whole team has to start all over again.
It was just dawn, but it was still early and the staff at the grain station didn't come to work so early, so we had to wait for two hours.
Shen Erzhu was squatting at the gate of the commune, holding his pipe and chatting with the other brigade leaders.
Uncle Shen and his friends gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong were sitting on the ox cart. Gu Jiandong was a little sleepy, his head nodding and dozing off repeatedly. Shen Shuyu asked him to climb onto the back of the ox cart and sleep on top of the bags filled with grain.
Gu Jiandong was really so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. After going to the countryside, he was like a good baby, going to bed on time and having a very stable sleep schedule.
Gu Jiandong had to get up after sleeping for only a short time last night and has been busy until now. It would be strange if he wasn’t sleepy.
Gu Jiandong climbed up obediently and said to Shen Shuyu before going to sleep, "Shuyu, the people at the grain station have come to work. Remember to wake me up. You must wake me up. Don't hand me over to the grain station with the grain. If you hand me over to the grain station, you will have no Gu Jiandong left."
Shen Shuyu sat next to him and rubbed his head. "Okay, I'll wake you up. Gu Jiandong is so good, I can't bear to hand you over to the grain station."
