Chapter 582 (2/2)
Students will respond positively to this point.
After school in the afternoon, the girls in dormitory 302 will go to the suburbs to collect hay At that time, it was not like later generations. When the long winter came, we should reserve as much hay as possible for the livestock to eat for a winter, which was just needed.
We all borrowed bicycles, eight people, four cars, with tools, to the outskirts of the city.
Although we are going to work, we are chatting and laughing on the road, which is similar to the autumn tour.
About 20 minutes later, we arrived in the suburbs. The provincial capital at that time was not big. Unlike the cities of later generations, they were all expanding. In fact, even their university was close to the suburbs.
”Comrades, let's hurry up and collect as much grass as possible.”
At this time, most of the grass in the field did not turn yellow, and it had to be dried to hand in after collection.
Mei Xiaoran handed out the labor protection gloves prepared in advance from the satchel to everyone, ”wearing gloves will not hurt your hands. We girls should have beautiful hands!”
Li Juan laughed: ”when I worked in the field before, I didn't see anyone wearing gloves.”
”So, the people who often do farm work are very thick.”
Mei Xiaoran explains this, everyone also honestly put on the gloves.
Most of the eight girls in their dormitories were from the countryside, and they were not at all concerned with mowing.
After putting on the gloves, one by one they cut the grass.
Of course, the worst performers are Zhou Qingqing and Mei Xiaoran. They almost never go to the field, so they can't be as quick as others.
”Mei Xiaoran, Zhou Qingqing, can you two work faster?”Li Juan mowed the grass very quickly. She left everyone behind in the distance. When she looked back, Mei Xiaoran and Zhou Qingqing fell behind!
”Li Juan, we can't work well. Otherwise, we'll stop mowing the grass. Can we take charge of collecting the grass you've cut and putting it into a snake skin bag?”
”That's OK. Just as fast as you two are working, I'm afraid you'll only be half done when we've finished.”
Li Juan finished and went on working.
Mei Xiaoran and Zhou Qingqing put together the grass that we had cut.
After autumn, the days are short and the nights are long. By 6:00 p.m., the sky will be dark.
The time we can make use of is from school in the afternoon to the time when it is dark, which is no less than two hours. However, mowing grass is not wheat cutting. This kind of work is relatively trivial. Fortunately, Mei Xiaoran and Zhou Qingqing are responsible for collecting from the beginning. When the students in front of them finish, they almost finish collecting, which can be regarded as comprehensive utilization of time.
Nearly six o'clock, Li Juan instructed everyone to go back. After all, it was dark, and it was not safe in the suburbs.
When we go back to school by bike, it's almost 6:30 p.m., and we have to spread the collected grass according to the designated position, and it will take at least a few days to dry completely. Although they have a good harvest today, they really don't have much. When they are dried in the sun, they have to cut off at least two-thirds.
The deadline given by the school is three weeks. After three weeks, the hay will be sent to the nursing home.
Therefore, these two weeks of extra-curricular time, we must make use of, when the class and class, dormitory and dormitory have evaluation.
The girls in 302 dormitory are not only not backward in their study, but also unwilling to fall behind in other aspects. Every afternoon after school, I go out to mow grass. On the weekend, I just stay in the suburbs for most of the day, just to work!
