As soon as the cattle from the production team were brought over, people rushed up, put tools on the cattle, and started plowing. The cattle that had just eaten fresh and tender grass were very energetic. The cattle pulled in front, and the people behind held the plow, moving along a straight line.

Walk.

At this time, the herding group was not idle, but carried the distributed baskets and sickles on their backs and returned to the river bank to cut grass.

Spring plowing is the season for using cattle. In the morning, the cattle are rushed to the river to graze until the cattle have the strength to plow the land. The next whole day requires the grazing team to cut the grass and come back to feed the cattle in the field.

eat.

Zhao Tian'er carried the dustpan and basket with the sickle on his back and took his sister back to cut the grass. The large herding group began to move towards the river again. As soon as they arrived at the river, Yun Xiaotang put down the dustpan and basket, took out a small sickle and started to cut the grass.

Grass.

Zhao Tian'er carefully asked her to pay attention to her hands and pay attention to safety. Yun Xiaotang nodded very seriously, indicating that she understood. After that, Zhao Tian'er rolled up his sleeves and put down the grass diligently.

In the team, there is no such thing as not cutting grass or herding cattle when you are young, unless you don't want work points.

A large group of skinny children bent over, holding grass in one hand and a sickle in the other. After cutting a handful of grass, they put it into the basket. The trembling old man also cut the grass with a sickle tremblingly.

At this time, the production team had not yet started raising poultry and pigs, otherwise these old people would be assigned the task of feeding pigs instead of herding cattle and cutting grass with children like them.

The grazing group moved very quickly. After cutting the grass, they returned to the paddy fields of the production team and watched the people of the production team plow the fields.

Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tian'er squatted under the tree beside the field, looking for Zhao Xue'er. At this moment, they came back from cutting the grass, and Zhao Xue'er was no longer where they were just now.

"Brother, where is your sister?" Yun Xiaotang found her sister in the crowd and pointed.

I saw Zhao Xueer burying her head in a corner, cleaning the weeds in the soil after the cattle had plowed it. She grabbed a lot of weeds in her hands, and then threw the weeds on the field ridge.

Repeatedly, and then changed places.

The field was in full swing, and everyone was in high spirits, until the announcement came, "Dear members, it's time for dinner, please bring your eating utensils."

It was time for dinner in the canteen, and the people in the production team hurriedly put down their tools and led the cattle to the edge of the field to tie them up. At a flying speed, they all disappeared and ran home to get bowls and queue up for dinner in the canteen.

Zhao Xueer walked behind and walked to her younger brothers and sisters who were waiting for her obediently. Seeing that her sister's hair was a little messy, she subconsciously planned to reach out to tidy it up for her, but suddenly she realized that her hands were dirty.

"Sister, let's go home quickly and get bowls to go to the cafeteria to make dinner." Yun Xiaotang nonchalantly took her sister's hand, and then her brother Zhao Tian'er, pulling them to run.

The little body looks full of life.

Behind a tree, when everyone left, Zhou Nanyue came out and saw the energetic side of the little girl.

He looked away indifferently and went home to take the bowl to the canteen.

You still have to eat.

…

When Yun Xiaotang and the others arrived at the cafeteria with their bowls, there were few people in line in front of them. Those members who had already prepared rice were holding bowls in one hand and covering the mouth of the bowl with the other, preparing to go home to eat. Go home.

To eat, the meals prepared separately for the whole family can be served together to make it a little more substantial.

Yun Xiaotang looked curiously at the public canteen in the 1960s in front of her. The canteen was not big, and there were several large pots in the shed outside that needed several people to hug them.

When the public canteen was first opened, everyone could still eat with open stomachs, and only when they were full could they be motivated to engage in production. But now it is a lean year, and in winter, the canteen ceased fire for a while, and then they returned a small pot from door to door.

Now that the cafeteria has reopened, it is not far from being completely shut down.

Soon it was Yun Xiaotang and the others' turn to cook. The aunt who was cooking gave Yun Xiaotang a bowl of multi-grain porridge from Heihu Lake and a bowl of radish and green vegetables.

This food was considered good in times of famine, at least there was still something to eat.

Zhao Xueer and Zhao Tianer also had a bowl of multigrain porridge and a bowl of vegetables and radish.

The three of them took the bowls and returned home.

After a quick lunch, Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tianer went to the fields to feed the resting cows. The task of the grazing team was to ensure that the cows were well fed and strong enough to work.

Others who have returned from work can still rest at home at noon, but the herding team has to feed the cows. When the day's work ends in the evening, they have to drive the cows to the river and wait until the cows are full before driving them back to the cowshed.

.

Yun Xiaotang and the two rushed to the field, took out the grass in the basket, and started feeding the cows. Other team members also rushed over, and there was a "rustling" sound of cows chewing grass.

After feeding the cows, it was not time to start work, so everyone went home to rest.

When she got home, Zhao Xueer was taking a lunch break with her eyes closed. She was still a little tired from the whole morning's work. After all, her current body was only more than ten years old.

Yun Xiaotang gently took a stool and placed it next to the bed. She sat on the stool and slept on her stomach with her arms on the edge of the bed without disturbing her sister.

That obedient posture is very similar to the image of students in later generations sleeping on the table during lunch break.

The room was extremely quiet. Zhao Tian'er was also taking a lunch break in his room. The sun shone in through the cracks in the window. It was a wonderful spring day.

By the time the village radio rang again, it was time to start work in the afternoon.

The three of them rushed to the fields. At this moment, the members on the road felt much better and were all in high spirits.

Carrying the basket on their backs, Yun Xiaotang and her brother went to the river to cut grass again, while Zhao Xueer was still working in the fields.

At this moment, when the afternoon sun shone, Yun Xiaotang felt a little lazy, her feet were weak on the ground, and she really wanted to stretch her body and yawn.

She did indeed do this. She stretched out her two little hands and hit one person directly with her right hand.

Yun Xiaotang instantly stopped yawning and stood up straight. Looking to her right, she saw a little boy who looked about the same age as his brother.

She quickly apologized, "Brother, I'm sorry, I accidentally hit your arm."

Zhou Nanyue in the team was walking with his head down when he suddenly felt his left arm being lightly touched by a small fist, and then he heard a milky sound.

Following the sound, I looked over and met the round, grape-like eyes of the child opposite.

This child's eyes are pretty, Zhou Nanyue thought to himself. Seeing that the child was still staring at him, waiting for his reply, he opened his lips and said it was okay.

The tone was a little cold, but Yun Xiaotang didn't care. Every child has a different personality.

At this time, Zhao Tian'er noticed their little episode and pulled his sister over, "Sister, are you tired? Do you want my brother to carry you?" After saying that, he was about to bend down.

Yun Xiaotang quickly shook his head, "I'm not tired or not, brother, I'll just stretch myself and catch up with them outside."
