"Sell newspapers!"
"Newspaper boy, give me a copy."
"Okay, Chenghui 2 points."
After getting the newspaper, I immediately started flipping through it to find what I wanted to read, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried.
"No news yet?"
"There is none today, and I don't know when the autumn harvest will start. My family is waiting for grain to be approved, and I don't know if we can have a good harvest."
"Oh, yes, there is no more food left at home, so we are just waiting for the autumn harvest. If we harvest a lot, we won't have to starve."
"Yeah, it's really uncomfortable to be hungry. I hope there won't be a good harvest this year? At least it will be better."
"I think it's hopeless, this horrible weather."
People gathered in groups of three or four, sighing and talking. As the autumn harvest approached, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense.
Once the ration was reduced, every household had no surplus and had to wait for the autumn harvest to be over and the grain to be brought into the city.
Everyone was ready to go, waiting for the grain stations and black markets to open, and immediately taking their gear to buy grain.
It doesn’t matter whether you have money or not, just buy the food first.
Money can be earned again, but it’s painful to be hungry without food.
"Well, let's go."
I didn’t see any content about the autumn harvest. Everyone chatted for a while and then went to work.
Steel rolling mill.
Li Kailang had some free time in the middle of the month, so he took on a mission and drove out.
On the way back, I happened to meet an important person whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
I saw him riding the bicycle listlessly, pedaling intermittently, his body hunched over, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
"Huff~" and breathing heavily.
Li Kailang drove over and saw from the rearview mirror that someone looked tired and pale, as if his body was hollowed out and he had no energy at all.
"Could it be that Xu Damao is so addicted to the countryside that he can't bear to leave? He would rather leave his beautiful wife alone in the empty house than go back."
Shaking his head, Li Kailang slowed down the car and stuck his head out: "Hey, Xu Damao, what are you doing?"
"Li Li Kailang, save me!" Xu Damao suddenly yelled, and the car body swayed rapidly without paying attention.
"Oh~"
Xu Damao gripped the handlebars tightly to control the swinging, and finally managed to keep his balance. He stopped immediately and turned to look at the projector on the back seat.
"Fortunately, it's okay."
Hearing Xu Damao shouting for help, Li Kailang stopped the car immediately and asked, "What happened to you, kid?"
"Hurry, take me back to the yard. I can't stand it anymore. I need to rest. If I sit down again, I will be exhausted to death on the way." Xu Damao complained bitterly.
Xu Damao hasn't returned to the yard for a week or two. He has been showing movies in the countryside. During this period, he is more tired than a dog.
In the past, movies would be shown in one village and then in other villages the next day.
Now, after showing the film in one village, I will immediately take the projector to the next village. There is no time in between and I have to go to at least 2 villages a day.
Xu Damao pointed at his eyes and said, "Look at my eyes. They are all dark. I couldn't sleep during the day because of the copying, and I had to run at night."
"Not only can I not sleep well, I can't eat well either. This hard life is really too difficult."
As he said that, Xu Damao grabbed Li Kailang's hand and said, "Li Kailang, you have to help me. I can't stand it anymore. Please take me back to the yard. Please."
Seeing Xu Damao so pitiful, Li Kailang couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, but how are you going to explain it to the factory?"
"Let's talk about it after I wake up. Now I just want to have a good sleep."
Li Kailang nodded, helped put the bicycle and projector into the car, and took Xu Damao back to the yard.
Back in the yard, Xu Damao took the projector with him, got out of the car impatiently and ran straight home, muttering, "I can't stand it anymore, I want to sleep!"
Everyone in the yard was surprised to see Xu Damao coming back.
"Xu Damao is back. I haven't seen him for a long time. He must be showing movies in the countryside. He must know something about the countryside. Let's go ask him."
"Yes, he must be aware of the autumn harvest. I wonder how the crops are doing?"
"Go and ask."
All of a sudden, all the women at home rushed to Xu Damao's house.
"Da Mao, you're back." Sai Fengxian was delighted to see Xu Damao coming back from a journey.
After being alone in the empty house for so long, Xu Damao finally came. I have to take good care of him.
Xu Damao said nothing, put down the projector, ran to the pit, and fell asleep.
"Da Mao, are you okay?" Sai Fengxian shook Xu Damao worriedly, preventing him from sleeping.
"Don't move me, let me sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy." Xu Damao responded weakly.
"Okay." Sai Fengxian accepted it helplessly.
"Xu Damao Xu Damao!"
Suddenly, there was a chattering sound, and a large group of women rushed in. Xu Damao was so scared that he stood up instantly.
"What! What do you want to do!"
The ladies looked at Xu Damao, who looked haggard, and wondered why he looked like this after not seeing him for such a long time.
"Xu Damao, are you okay? Why are you like this? Are you sick? Go see a doctor immediately."
"Yes, you are the pillar of the family, you can't get into trouble."
Hearing that everyone cared about him so much, Xu Damao felt warmed in the heart, and his anger immediately subsided a lot.
"What's up, big guy?"
"Oh, that's right. Damao, aren't you going to the countryside to show movies? When will the autumn harvest be in the countryside? Do you have a definite answer?"
"When will the autumn harvest start? I don't know. It hasn't been decided yet. Many villages haven't started harvesting yet."
"But it will be soon. In the near future, it will be the end of the month at the latest, depending on the weather."
Hearing this, a group of women chattered.
"Is that so? That's good too. I can collect it at the end of the month instead of waiting until next month."
"Yes, next month is National Day, it would be best if we could have a good holiday."
"Da Mao, please keep an eye on it and let us know when the autumn harvest is ready so we can prepare early."
Everyone was chattering in the room, not caring at all that this was Xu Damao's house, and just ignoring him.
The noise was so loud that Xu Damao was overwhelmed. "Well, can you let me get some sleep?"
No one noticed.
"Ha! Can you let me sleep for a while?" Xu Damao shouted, scaring everyone.
"Xu Damao, why are you yelling and scaring me!"
"Yeah, what if I'm scared to death by you at my age?"
Suddenly, the attitude changed immediately, and Xu Damao was so angry that he was fuming. He was very friendly when using it, but ignored it when not using it.
"That's all I am. If you have anything to say, go out and talk. I want to sleep."
"Just sleep, it's no big deal."
The women left angrily, and Xu Damao was so angry that he fell asleep immediately.
But I can't fall asleep because of you being so angry. I toss and turn but can't fall asleep.
"Ah! I'm so mad! I can't sleep!"
Seeing Xu Damao's 'energetic' appearance, Sai Fengxian's eyes lit up. She immediately opened the drawer, took out a bottle of medicine and poured out a pill.
Sai Fengxian took the medicine and whispered lightly, "Come on, Damao, take the medicine."
Xu Damao looked at the medicine, then at Sai Fengxian's delicate appearance. He felt that he had the will but not the ability, and he was really not in the mood.
He forced a wry smile and said, "Is there no need for that now? I'm feeling sleepy now."
"You lied to me. You're not sleepy at all now. Look how long you haven't been back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. What's wrong? Do you dislike me?"
"How is that possible? I can dislike anyone but you." Xu Damao said righteously. Just based on Sai Fengxian's figure, with a curvy and white body, how could he dislike her?
"If you don't mind, then just take it." Sai Fengxian said in a coquettish voice, putting the medicine in front of Xu Damao's mouth and looking at him with seductive eyes.
For a time, Xu Damao was in a dilemma.
Sai Fengxian couldn't wait any longer, so she stuffed the medicine directly into Xu Damao's mouth, covered his mouth and let him swallow it.
The plan succeeded, Sai Fengxian covered her mouth and laughed.
It has to be done now no matter how hard it is.
"Da Mao!" Sai Fengxian leaned forward and made circles on Xu Damao's body with her index finger.
Not long after, Xu Damao felt hot all over.
As the steel mill was about to close, Xu Damao woke up slowly.
"Oh, my head!"
"Why do I feel so tired?"
As soon as he woke up, Xu Damao felt pain all over his back and waist. Everything felt wrong, as if he was falling apart.
"Da Mao, you're awake."
Sai Fengxian took the towel and wiped Xu Damao's face with great energy.
Xu Damao looked at Sai Fengxian's rosy face, but he kept feeling pain in his kidneys.
"Da Mao, how did you sleep? Are you still sleepy?"
"It's okay, but I feel like I didn't sleep at all." Xu Damao covered his dizzy head.
"Pfft." Sai Fengxian covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Hurry up and get up, the food is heated for you, come and eat."
Gujiji~
Xu Damao's stomach growled, "I'm really a little hungry."
Having not eaten for most of the day, Xu Damao was indeed hungry. He immediately stood up and wolfed down the food on the table.
Sai Fengxian watched with a smile, her eyes rolling around, wondering what evil ideas she was up to.
After eating and drinking, Xu Damao patted his stomach and felt much better.
"Okay, I'll go to the steel mill."
When you return to the city, you have to report to the steel mill.
Xu Damao stood up quickly, but suddenly his feet went weak and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Sai Fengxian supported him.
"Why does my back and waist still ache?" Xu Damao muttered to himself, covering his kidney.
Sai Fengxian blushed and dared not look at him. She pushed him and said, "Hurry up and go to the steel mill."
It was almost time to get off work, so Xu Damao didn't have time to think too much. He found his bicycle and rode to the steel mill.
Publicity Section.
Xu Damao went directly to report to the director of the Propaganda Department.
The director was furious at Xu Damao's sudden return: "Xu Damao, why did you come back? Do you know that this is a critical moment?"
"Why don't you hurry up and show the movies to the canteen? What are you doing back here?"
Director Xu Damao complained: "Director, can you please let me have a rest? I have been staying in the countryside for almost half a month, and I really can't stand it anymore."
"I ran to two villages in one night and couldn't sleep well the next day. Look at my face, it's all black."
As she said that, she put her cheek close to show it to her master, scaring him so much that he quickly took several steps back and almost kissed her.
"Look at my mouth, it's all white."
The director felt sorry for the miserable Xu Damao. Unexpectedly, Xu Damao had stayed in the countryside for more than half a month without realizing it.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll allow you to rest at home for two days, and you have to go to the countryside to show a movie the day after tomorrow night."
Without waiting for Xu Damao to speak, the director said without question: "I know you are working hard, but now is the autumn harvest time, you should work harder."
"When the autumn harvest is over, you can relax. Aren't you usually so idle? What's wrong with slowing down now? Isn't it normal?"
"If there are difficulties, we must overcome them. No one is without difficulties. We all have them. We must understand each other."
Then he patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go home and have a rest. I will treat you as working for the next two days, so it won't count as taking leave."
"Okay." Xu Damao pretended to be disappointed and left the office.
As soon as he came out, he immediately smiled happily: "I didn't expect that I could rest for two more days. I made a lot of money."
Suddenly, his expression changed again, and he clapped his hands in annoyance: "I almost forgot to ask for the benefits. How did I get tricked out?"
He turned around and looked at the office, wanting to go in, but he was afraid that the advantage he had finally gotten would be gone once he went in.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't be so rude after getting such an advantage."
Xu Damao left the steel mill happily and went home to rest.
Jingle Bell--
As soon as I walked out of the steel mill, the bell rang.
Xu Damao looked at the workers who were rushing to the gate and said, "Hey, I was the first one out one day, too."
He left the steel mill, shaking his head, and went home.
As soon as she got home, Sai Fengxian prepared dinner.
"Da Mao is back, wash your hands and eat."
"Eat? Didn't we just eat?"
"It's dinner time, it's already prepared, so eat quickly. Look how thin you are, I feel bad for you." Sai Fengxian said pitifully.
Xu Damao looked at his body, which was darker and thinner, and touched his stomach: "Now that you mention it, I am indeed a little hungry."
Immediately, Xu Damao started to eat voraciously again, grunting.
Sai Fengxian looked at Xu Damao while he was eating with a smile on her face. "By the way, Damao, what did you say to the director?"
"The director told me to rest for two days and then go to the countryside to show movies the day after tomorrow night."
In an instant, Sai Fengxian raised her eyes and stared at Xu Damao. She couldn't help drooling from the corner of her mouth, but immediately retracted her saliva.
"It's good to take a two-day break."
Sai Fengxian just felt her body was restless. She had just been nourished in the morning, and now her body was reacting again. She couldn't help it.
"I have to pay off all my previous debts in the next two days."
After Xu Damao finished eating, Sai Fengxian immediately washed the dishes.
After resting for a while, Sai Fengxian tidied herself up and took out the pills from the drawer.
"Da Mao, take your medicine."
"No, right? I've already eaten this morning."
Xu Damao looked at the pill in front of him with horror, thinking that this medicine was extremely horrible.
"If you ate in the morning, it was a morning thing. Now it's evening, it's different."
"Come on, be good and eat it." Sai Fengxian looked at Xu Damao with a smile and forced Xu Damao to eat it with her hands.
"It's still early, how about going later? Look, it's not even dark yet."
"It's getting late. It will be dark soon. This little time is not a big deal." Sai Fengxian said with a smile.
"Come on, be good and eat."
Xu Damao now deeply regrets asking Li Kailang for medicine.
"Eat it!"
Sai Fengxian couldn't help herself and stuffed it in.
Before long, the two of them were passionately attracted to each other.
Late at night, Xu Damao woke up slowly.
Feeling how weak my body was, I couldn't help but shed tears.
"Dongxu, you're awake!"
Sai Fengxian beside him also woke up.
