Chapter 129 Return
As the two chatted and strode towards the brigade, they finally arrived at the brigade just as it was time to get off work in the morning.
When Lin Zhiqiang saw the first team member, he hurriedly asked:
"Uncle, could you tell me where my sisters work?"
The uncle who was suddenly called turned around in confusion and saw the hero of their team. When he heard the question asked by Lin Zhiqiang, he quickly answered:
"Ah, Comrade Lin and Zhou's boy, you two are here. Comrade Lin, your sister is harvesting rice in the field over there. Although it's almost time to get off work, you can still be of great help to her if you go and help her now.
Also, since you're back, Zhou kid, you should go find your mom and the others. Your mom was very worried because you and your dad didn't come back last night.
Your mother is near the farmland of the educated youth Xiaolin. You can see her as soon as you go there. It just so happens that you can go there with Comrade Lin."
Lin Zhiqiang and Zhou Tinghao never expected that the first person they saw would point them in the direction, and their relatives were in the same place, which made them very happy (?ˉ??ˉ??).
The two responded with a smile to the uncle in front of them, thanking him for his kindness.
"Okay, thank you uncle. I'm going to find my sister now. You can take your time!" These words came from Lin Zhiqiang.
Zhou Tinghao also said immediately: "I know, uncle. I'll go find my mother right away. She's really worried about me. I have to go and reassure her. Okay, we're leaving now. Uncle, you can go and get busy. ???·??·??*?? ??"
After the two finished talking, they saw the uncle in front of them nodded, and then they went in the direction the uncle pointed.
After walking for a short while, the two saw from afar a group of people busy in the fields. Some were harvesting rice, some were threshing rice, and some were bundling rice.
Lin Zhiqiang was hurriedly looking for his sister among those busy people. It took him a long time to find the people in his sister's yard, but after looking carefully, he did not see his sister.
Lin Zhiqiang thought, "It's time to go back and cook at this time." Looking at the guy next door, Zhou Tinghao also found that the white dough he had been longing for was not in the field where he was working.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Tinghao said to Lin Zhiqiang: "You can go to the field in your sister's yard first. They should be divided together.
Xiaolin's sister isn't here, so maybe she went back to cook. I'll go to my mom's place first, or she'll be worried. I'll tell her that my dad has gone to the commune and that dinner is coming up soon, so I have to eat before I go to help you guys."
After hearing this, Lin Zhiqiang clenched his fists and gently hit Zhou Tinghao's shoulders and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. This is quite reasonable. I'm going to my sister first. Let's go~"
After saying this, Lin Zhiqiang walked towards his target field without even looking at his buddy's reaction.
Fortunately, the rice fields in the north are dry fields, and they grow dry rice instead of wet rice, so you don’t have to take off your shoes to enter the fields.
This not only made it much more convenient for Lin Zhiqiang to go to the fields, but also allowed the children in the brigade to pick up some rice and take it home to save for their own consumption.
Generally, half-grown children who are unable to work can pick rice ears in the fields. The team does not care and whatever they can pick up is theirs.
Therefore, some children would take their own small baskets during the autumn harvest and pick up the rice ears that fell into the fields during the threshing or that were accidentally dropped into the fields when their sisters were harvesting rice.
Some families would let their children follow behind their fields to pick up rice ears in order to take advantage of the production team. In this way, those who went to work would deliberately leave more rice ears in the fields when harvesting rice so that their children could pick up more.
This method is not only used when harvesting rice, but also when harvesting beans.
After this happened many times, the team leader would warn those old women who liked to take advantage, and when assigning work in the team, he would deliberately separate the children from their parents to avoid such situations.
It was also specifically emphasized that if anyone was found to be deliberately taking advantage of the public again, the children would not be allowed to pick up rice ears in the fields and take them home.
Finally, after such a crackdown, this habit gradually disappeared. Now, looking around, there are not many children picking rice ears in the fields with their own small baskets, and the rice ears in those children's baskets do not exceed half of the baskets.
Although there were not many rice ears in the basket, it could save food for the family. The children were very happy looking at the golden rice ears.
Just as Lin Zhiqiang walked into the field that his younger sister and her friends were responsible for, the children squatting in the field picking up rice ears discovered it.
Gou'er was originally squatting quietly in the field, carefully looking for any leftover rice ears, when he suddenly saw a pair of long legs walking towards him.
Out of curiosity, he raised his head and looked up, and saw Brother Lin Zhiqing, who usually loved to give him candy.
Because not only Lin Zhiqing would give her candy, but even her brother would give her candy when he came, so Goudan remembered the appearance of the brother and sister most clearly.
Even though he didn't see the scene of catching the bad guy yesterday, he heard his mother praising Lin Zhiqing's brother when she was chatting with other aunts.
Because Goudan heard the people he was interested in, he eavesdropped on a few words, but because he was too young, he only remembered one sentence: Lin Zhiqing's brother and the team leader's youngest son are heroes.
So Gou Daner stopped picking up the rice ears and stood up and shouted in surprise:
"The hero is back, the hero is back, la la la, la la la.
Brother, brother, my mother said you are a hero!
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I saw a hero! ?(?_??)?(?_??)”
Goudan was both happy that the person he liked had become a hero and surprised to see the hero. At the moment, he couldn't tell why he was so excited and happy. He just kept running around, shouting and yelling happily at Lin Zhiqiang.
Wang Wenxiang and others who heard these words at this moment also looked towards the source of the sound and saw Lin Zhiqiang returning.
At this moment, when Lin Zhiqiang saw Wang Wenxiang and others looking up at him, he returned a polite smile and then looked down at the child who was looking up at him in surprise.
Lin Zhiqiang didn't know whose child this was, he only knew that this child was one of the children who would come to him and chat with him after work.
After recognizing the child, Lin Zhiqiang touched the child's head and took out two White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and handed them to the child.
Seeing that the child was hesitant and wanted to accept the candy but also wanted to refuse, Lin Zhiqiang bent down slightly, took the child's hand with one hand, and put the candy into the child's palm.
As he put it down, he said, "You are so sensible that you can help pick up rice ears for the family. This not only saves food by picking up rice ears in the field, but also helps reduce the burden on the family.
You are such a smart and well-behaved child. This candy is a reward for you (?ˉ??ˉ??), take it quickly, I am going to work with my brother over there to harvest rice or do other farm work."
After saying these words, Lin Zhiqiang touched the head of the child in front of him again, then straightened up and walked towards Wang Wenxiang and the others.
When he got closer, Guan Huijun feigned surprise and then a complaint, but in reality, he asked in confusion, "Brother, you're back today? I thought you were going to be busy for a few days, and you even told your sister not to worry about you, but you're back right away!"
Lin Zhiqiang knew that if he came here, they would definitely ask him questions, so he said the words he had prepared in advance:
"Oh, I thought I would have to stay for a few days, but I didn't expect that Xiong Dazhuang loves taking notes and writing diaries. He wrote down all his trivial matters and plans in the notebook.
It didn't take any effort at all to make all their personnel and other matters clear. Now the Public Security Bureau will follow up on the matters that they are responsible for.
The team leader's youngest son and I are both back, but the team leader still has to go to the commune because of Zhao Tingting's incident. After all, Zhao Tingting was a legitimate educated youth sent to the countryside, but she just tried to get the skin of a tiger, and now she's going to be sent back to the educated youth office."
After hearing what Lin Zhiqiang said, most people believed it, and the others who knew they had doubts did not speak out, but happily welcomed Lin Zhiqiang back.
Xia Zhiyan said to Lin Zhiqiang: "Hahaha, now that you're back, that's great.
Comrade Lin, we see that you came here empty-handed and without any tools. You'd better go back to the courtyard first.
It's almost time for breakfast anyway, so go pick up Xiaolin and the others. This will remind them to cook more of your meals and you can also help them carry the ingredients to the fields."
