Chapter 308: Shazhu, Who Gave His All
Shangti Village
Under the scorching sun, the villagers were sweating profusely as they swung their sickles, their faces filled with joy.
Cao Weiguo came to the village and also picked up a sickle, following his father-in-law to cut wheat.
Although it was his first time using a sickle to harvest wheat, he learned to do it quite well.
But after a while of this work, the commune director came looking for him.
Knowing that Cao Weiguo was a good cook, he invited Cao Weiguo to cook the communal meal.
Compared to Cao Weiguo harvesting wheat, letting the villagers eat well was more valuable.
Only when they were full would they have the strength to work!
Cooking for the masses was not a problem for Cao Weiguo.
With the cooperation of the cooks in the commune, a rich fragrance soon filled the air.
Cao Weiguo held a large shovel and flipped it up and down, his movements flowing like clouds and water.
Many young girls hid in the crowd, watching Cao Weiguo's cooking movements, feeling he was very handsome.
Smelling the increasingly rich aroma of the food, the villagers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Dashan, you've really gained a good son-in-law!"
"Filial, capable, and so talented!"
"Just this cooking skill alone means he'll never go hungry no matter when."
"Your daughter is blessed!"
"If your daughter lives well, you can enjoy the blessings too."
Listening to the villagers' words, Song Dashan couldn't stop smiling.
Song Yulan followed a group of women to steam corn buns and was teased by the women until her face turned bright red.
If women start talking dirty, the speed is so fast that men can only eat their exhaust.
The communal meal was ready, and the corn buns were steamed.
Everyone held a large bowl, two scoops of vegetables and three corn buns each.
Because of the heavy labor during the busy farming season, meat could even be seen in the vegetables.
"Fragrant!"
"Director Cao, your cooking skills are just too good!"
"Delicious!"
"After eating this meal, I can harvest an extra acre of land!"
Everyone praised it endlessly, and the commune director was very happy.
Only when everyone is well-fed can they have more energy to work.
Thanks to Cao Weiguo, Song Dashan was assigned light work.
The work was light, but the work points were not a bit less.
After finishing the communal meal, Song Yulan went home with her mother.
Mother and daughter were busy preparing dinner together, chatting about family matters.
Zhou Guixiang and Song Xiong continued to harvest wheat in the fields to earn work points.
In the countryside, regardless of age or gender, there are no idle people; if you are idle, you have nothing to eat.
Why Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were desperate not to return to the countryside was because they didn't want to suffer and work hard.
No matter how bitter life is in the city, it can't compare to the bitterness of the countryside.
"Old Liu!"
"Old Liu has fainted!"
"Go find Sun the Lame (the village doctor) quickly!"
Cao Weiguo was chatting with the village head about procurement when the fields suddenly became chaotic.
Cao Weiguo ran over with the village head and saw an old man unconscious on the ground.
"He has heatstroke; everyone disperse and keep the air flowing." ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
