The weather was fine in the early morning of the next day. People packed their things and came out from home to work in the fields at five o'clock.
Worried that it would rain later, Captain Zhou called everyone to have a small meeting under the big tree at the brigade headquarters before going to the fields. The main purpose was to mobilize everyone to race against time to harvest food.
It is mentioned again that those with the top eleven work points during the autumn harvest can work in the medicinal material field.
Everyone’s enthusiasm was mobilized again.
As soon as the order was given to start working in the fields, everyone rushed to the fields with a bang.
Just for the quota in the medicine field, everyone will do it to death as long as they can’t do it!
If you don’t work hard now, you will have to work in the fields for the rest of your life.
So those who usually like to be lazy are now working hard.
With Xu Youyou and Zhou Mu behind to stabilize the rear, Zhou Chen and Zhou Li let go.
Zhou Hongjun originally wanted to help Wen Yunong with the Autumn Harvest Gang, but he also wanted to get a spot in the medicinal materials farm.
Zhou Hongjun waved his mother's hand, "Don't worry, work hard! We are watching Yunong."
Sooner or later, she will be their daughter-in-law, and now she will take care of her. How is it different from aftercare?
Wen Yunong just asked him to do his job without worrying about her.
Zhou Hongjun nodded with relief, turned around and started working with Zhou Chen and the others.
Goudan watched the brothers who were playing together working hard, and started to do it hummingly.
Don’t mention how happy you are! The one who is close to the red is really red!
Although Wen Yunong did not work as fast as others, he studied hard and worked hard at the same time.
She had blood blisters on her hands and then burst them. She never said a word of pain. She worked hard and tried her best to keep up with everyone's pace and not to hold them back.
Zhou Hongjun’s mother felt heartbroken just looking at it. Such a petite little girl was no less good at work. Her originally fair and slender little hands were now red and swollen.
Wen Yunong can endure hardships better than other female educated youths in the past (except Xu Youyou).
Zhou Hongjun’s mother couldn’t help but have a great impression of her. He had heard that she was serious and diligent in work before, but those who can continue to be like this during the autumn harvest are truly diligent and able to endure hardships.
Zhou Hongjun’s mother specially prepared gloves and a straw hat for Wen Yunong, all of which she made herself.
Wen Yunong held the gloves and straw hat and felt very grateful. She said thank you to her aunt obediently and smiled warmly.
Zhou Hongjun’s mother was stunned for a moment. She now likes this girl Wen Yunong, who is down-to-earth, hard-working, and polite.
He planned to wait until the autumn harvest was over and urged his son to work harder. The two of them got their marriage certificates and took advantage of their free time to get their marriage certificates.Done.
In the past, the autumn harvest took three months to collect everything to dry and put into the warehouse. This year, the enthusiasm of the entire team was unprecedentedly high, and the work was completed in two months.
Xu Youyou and Zhou’s mother also collected the peanuts, corns and other things grown in Sanyuan’s house at home, dried them and moved them into the house for storage.
The autumn harvest is not over yet, and Xu Youyou's "non-staff correspondent" certificate has been issued.
This is because of his father's newspaper. He not only reads the newspaper every day, but also makes comments and writes down his thoughts.
Xu Youyou was learning how to write and comprehending the ideas at the same time. Zhang Xin's comments provided her with great help.
So it took her three days to write an article, and it was well received by the editor, who then issued her the "non-staff correspondent" certificate.
With this certificate, you can not only write articles on current affairs, but also translate works and write stories and novels.
Xu Youyou can try translating works first, because before she came here, she was best at reading English, and she also studied other languages such as German and French, so she can translate English works.
Moreover, translation manuscripts cost between 1 and 5 yuan per 1,000 words. During this period, she could also find time to write stories and novels. After all, writing manuscripts cost 2 to 8 yuan per 1,000 words. The exact amount depends on the quality of the work.
This is better than writing an article, because the article must always pay attention to current events.
Just do it!

When Zhou Chen and the others followed Captain Zhou to pay the public rations early in the morning, Xu Youyou got up, had breakfast and started working.
Before choosing translation works, she specifically sent a telegram to ask the editor which translation works were the most popular.
The editor-in-chief also had a very good attitude. He made a book list for Xu Youyou, and also gave it a few books. Of course, these were mailed.
It was already half a month later when it was sent.
Xu Youyou looked at the book list. They were all foreign masterpieces that she had read before. She planned to translate them from beginning to end.
Let’s start with the first one.
Xu Youyou asked Zhou Yao to buy several large stacks of paper, as well as pens and ink.
After Zhou’s mother took her child out of the room, Xu Youyou took out her books, pen and paper and began to translate the work seriously.
After translating for an hour, I take a break. Sometimes when I encounter problems or don’t know how to translate, I go out for a walk in the garden. When I feel inspired, I run back to the room.
At this rate, Xu Youyou can translate about 6,000 words a day.
Seeing that Xu Youyou was so busy, Zhou's mother took the children to the West Room or the garden to play every day, trying to avoid disturbing her.
Because children aged five to six months can already lie down and roll aroundHe also likes to murmur to himself to attract other people's attention.
He is the most active when he is noisy. Sometimes he makes babbling sounds when he sees his mother is not around.
Xu Youyou happened to be tired from writing, so she went out to play with the children, feed them milk, change diapers and so on.
The three children were very excited when they saw their mother's appearance. They rolled their bodies in various ways and asked for a hug from their mother.
After Xu Youyou became busy, Zhou Yao also became busy. Recently, there have been several mysterious deaths of middle-aged men in the county, which has attracted the attention of superior leaders.
Zhou Yao hasn't gone home these days. He probably doesn't go back to the dormitory very often. He is investigating the case day and night.
But I remember to call the brigade every day to report that Xu Youyou is safe.
After the brigade handed over the public rations, it was time for Accountant Wang to get busy again.
This year, in addition to calculating each person’s work points and how much grain they will be allocated, how much vegetables will be stored for the winter, and how much they will be paid, we will also need to calculate everyone’s work points during the autumn harvest and select the top 11 for publication. .
When every household began to prepare for the winter, gathering firewood, sauerkraut, and winter vegetables, Accountant Wang scratched his head and calculated the work points, and his head felt heavy.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Li have already started pushing carts to collect firewood. Yesterday, they pushed six carts, two carts for each family.
Xu Youyou couldn't stay at home anymore. When Zhou Chen came over to the cart this morning, Xu Youyou hurriedly changed into shabby clothes and went out.
"Zhou Chen, wait for me, I'll go too!"
Xu Youyou put on a straw hat and carried Zhou Yao's military kettle across her body, which was filled with warm water by Zhou's mother. , pick up the sickle and set off.
Zhou Li was already chopping firewood on the agreed mountain, and people were gathering firewood everywhere in the mountains and fields.
Since Xu Jianshe’s accident, many villagers have not dared to go up the mountain. Xu Youyou has not gone up the mountain in order not to do anything special, and because Zhou Chen and the others were busy with the autumn harvest.
Today was the first time I went up a mountain in more than two months, but it was not the mountain behind the brigade.
To collect firewood, you have to go to a mountain farther away. The mountain behind the brigade cannot withstand such a large-scale firewood collection, and the trees on the mountain are not allowed to be cut down in large quantities.
When Xu Youyou and Zhou Chen arrived with a trolley, they saw a lesbian talking next to Zhou Li. It seemed that the two of them were chatting quite happily.
Xu Youyou teased Zhou Chen and said in surprise: "Zhou Chen, I have never seen my eldest brother have such a good relationship with any lesbian. It is really rare to see him."
"What's so rare about this? Isn't she the same as before my eldest brother..." Zhou Yao realized something midway through his words and quickly covered his mouth.
Xu Youyou: "..."
What was it before?
The sensitive nose smelled the smell of gossip.
