Chapter 74 Establish a seedling protection team to protect crops

In the yard, Su Yuchen picked up an ax and cut the wood in half, and then used a knife to sharpen one end of the wood.

Yun Xiaotang and Ping An looked at each other for a while with their chins in their hands.

Seeing that there was no problem, she went to the kitchen to help her sister.

But Ping An was still there, looking at it curiously and poking the tip of the wood with his finger from time to time.

In the kitchen, after Zhao Xueer cut the vegetables, she was still worried, so she stuck her head out and took a look.

Unexpectedly, he did it quite well, so he continued cooking with confidence.

After the rice was ready, Su Yuchen had finished cutting half of the wood.

"Su Zhiqing, let's eat first and we'll do it later."

Su Yuchen put down the wood in his hand, washed his hands, and then went to the table to eat.

During the meal, everyone was quite quiet.

Su Yuchen really liked this kind of atmosphere, it felt very warm.

Now he also knew about their family's situation, and while lamenting their difficulties, he also greatly admired Zhao Xueer's strength and ability.

This is a girl with light in her eyes.

...

After dinner, Zhao Xueer and Su Yuchen whittled wood together.

Yun Xiaotang quickly tidied up the dishes and washed the dishes and pots.

Ping An went back to her room to take a nap. She often felt sleepy in summer, not to mention that she had to go to class in the commune in the afternoon.

In rural primary schools, classes are held in the afternoon in the summer. After the class is over, it is still broad daylight.

In the morning, Ping An went to herd the cows as usual. While grazing the cows, he had to cut the grass and put it in the cowshed so that the cows could eat in the afternoon.

After Yun Xiaotang cleaned all the pots and bowls, Zhao Xueer and Su Yuchen had already whittled more than half of the wood.

She couldn't help, so she went back to the main room and poured a large vat of boiling water to cool down, and drank it when her sister and Su Yuchen finished their work.

Then she sat in the main room, put one hand on the table, supported her head, and took a nap.

My head is shaking little by little, and I feel like I have to lie down at any moment.

Zhao Xueer saw that her sister was sleepy and asked her to go to the room to rest. There was no need to accompany them specially.

"Chun'er, if you feel sleepy, go to the room and sleep."

Yun Xiaotang nodded in confusion, and groped back to the room with half-closed eyes. As soon as he touched the edge of the bed, he fell down and fell asleep.

Zhao Xueer shook her head and said with an angry smile, "This child..."

Su Yuchen heard her gentle murmur, glanced at her, and realized that every time she faced her family, her eyes were full of infinite tenderness.

After the wood is chipped, put it into a bamboo basket and fill two bamboo baskets.

One person carried a bamboo basket and another person carried it, and went to the private land again.

After arriving, the two cooperated with each other, divided the labor, and built the wooden fence with ease.

Finally, they built the fence before starting work.

Zhao Xueer looked at the built wooden fence with a smile on her face. When she faced Su Yuchen, she had no time to stop her smile.

Su Yuchen couldn't help but laugh too.

When I went to work in the afternoon, the personnel who would be left to guard the fields tonight had been determined.

Even so, at night, many members of the commune stood guarding the fields with iron basins and flashlights in their hands.

I don't dare to get too close, for fear that the wild boar will hurt someone.

After all, wild boars are not afraid of people and are quite large.

Several people squatted in the grass and were bitten by mosquitoes.

"Hey, you, these mosquitoes are really poisonous, they itch to death."

People who are bitten by mosquitoes cannot bear it and make noise unconsciously.

"Shh, don't make any noise, turn off the flashlight."

The people next to him quickly stopped him.

The person who was bitten had no choice but to grit his teeth and pinch the mosquito pod with his hands.

On summer nights, the chirping of cicadas and the croaking of frogs are endless.

The evening wind blew by, and there was a rustling sound from the leaves.

Under the moonlight, several mountain boars came in the moonlight, and everything they passed was a mess.

The members of the commune squatting in the fields could immediately see clearly the wild boar that had come specifically to destroy the crops through the moonlight.

"Let me go, they are really wild boars. One, two, three, four...there are four of them in total. They look like they are in a litter of pigs."

Seeing that the wild boar was about to rush into the field, a member of the commune hurriedly picked up the iron basin and started beating it, making a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping-pong, swinish."

Other members also quickly followed suit.

The sudden knocking sound startled the wild boars. They grunted a few times and left quickly.

It wasn't until the wild boar was completely invisible that the members breathed a sigh of relief.

Look at this, I won't come again today.

But what about the days to come?

Tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

Always find a way.

The next day, Captain Li learned from the commune members who guarded the fields last night that it was really the wild boars that had destroyed the farm.

As a result, the "seedling protection team" of Yushu Village was urgently established.

This seedling protection team is mainly composed of male members. After all, they have to guard the fields all night.

No matter how much we say that women can hold up half the sky, no one can rest assured that female commune members cannot be allowed to guard the fields at night.

All male members, including male educated youths, were members of the nursery team.

Every two people guard the fields and take turns every day.

Because it was time to start guarding the fields in the evening, the members of the commune were very fast and quickly set up a tent next to the field. They put two bamboo beds inside and prepared things for driving wild boar.

For example, firecrackers, iron pans, iron basins, etc.

So, in the following days, I could often hear the sound of firecrackers and the sound of gongs and drums at night.

As soon as this sound was heard, many people's dogs began to bark.

One night was particularly lively.

After the wild boar left, peace returned.

For several days, neither the night watchman nor other members of the village had a good night's sleep.

Finally, Captain Li came up with a way to ask the members of the team who were good at carpentry to go to the back mountain to chop some wood and make wooden fences.

This wooden fence is not like the one Zhao Xueer made on her private plot.

It is a very tall and thick wooden fence, just like the guardrails in the stockade in the past.

In this way, the wild boar will not be able to get through.

Just do what you say, and these commune members who know how to do carpentry don't even have to work on the land.

Captain Li said that making this wooden fence is also to serve the whole village, and it will be counted as work points.

Within two days, the wooden fence was made, and several people carried it to seal off the wild boar's route.

If members want to go to the mountains, they can climb there.

But wild boar can't climb.

Although the guardrail was installed, the members still guarded it for a few days just to be on the safe side.

In the past few days, the village has been very quiet, and no wild boars have come to cause trouble.

Finally, we no longer had to keep vigil, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, you can have a peaceful sleep.

Zhao Xueer also breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she was worried that wild boars would destroy her family's private land.

Every morning I have to run to the fields to take a look.

She was always on tenterhooks and didn't get a good rest at night, so she now had dark circles under her eyes.

In fact, not only her, but Yun Xiaotang and Zhao Tian'er also had dark circles under their eyes. They were making trouble every night without getting a good rest.

On the contrary, Ping An was probably young and slept deeply, so he was not aware of what happened at night.

The next day, I was still in good spirits and full of energy.

Others in the family said -
