Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Tang Mei and the other two arrived at the land to be reclaimed. Aunt Tang San handed them a sickle and a hoe.

The two of them held the tools in their hands and didn't know where to start.

"Sisters, look how to use a sickle. You can grab the grass you want to cut with your left hand, hold the handle with your right hand, and swing it with a little force. See, it cuts the grass," Tang Mei demonstrated.

"Then I'll give it a try." Wang Ran had never done farm work before and was eager to try.

Tang Mei handed her the sickle.

Wang Ran swung the sickle according to Tang Mei's instruction, but he used too much force and almost cut his foot.

"Sister Ran, please be gentler. If you hadn't reacted quickly just now, your foot would have been injured." Tang Mei walked forward, held Wang Ran's hand, cut a handful of grass, and felt the force.

"I got it, I got it, I'll try it myself." After saying that, he waved the sickle at the weeds and actually cut off a lot of them.

Tang Mei saw that Wang Ran was very interested in cutting herself, so she ignored her and looked at Pei Yanyan again.

"Sister Yan, let me show you how to dig the ground with a hoe, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Meimei." Pei Yanyan smiled at Tang Mei, and Tang Mei was stunned. It is really irresistible when good-looking people smile.

"Uh, cough, Sister Yan, look at how to use the hoe." Tang Mei raised the hoe and dug with all her strength to shovel up a piece of soil, then smashed the soil into pieces with the root of the hoe.

"Xiao Meimei, let me try." Pei Yanyan said, then took the hoe from Tang Mei's hand and started digging the ground.

Tang Mei watched the two of them working hard on their tasks. She had nothing to do, so she decided to go look for Aunt Tang.

"Aunt San, let me help you pick up the stones." Tang Mei squatted down, picked up the stones on the ground and threw them into the backpack.

"Meimei, why are you here?"

"I saw my sisters were already doing it, so I came over."

"My dear Meimei, go play over there. Auntie San doesn't need you here. Go to the two educated youths later. When it's almost noon, take them back to eat. I won't go back."

"Aunt San, what are you going to eat if you don't go back?"

"I brought some dry food this morning, don't worry. Just heat up the food in the cupboard when you get home."

"Okay, Aunt San, I'll pick up stones for a while and go over there around noon." Tang Mei insisted on helping Aunt San work in the fields for a while longer.

"Kid, I really can't argue with you. Then you'd better not get sunburned." Aunt Tang San sighed in her heart. What a thoughtful and kind child.

Around noon, Tang Mei returned to the place where the two educated youth worked and saw them sitting dejectedly under a tree.

"Sister, how are you? Are you tired?" Tang Mei walked over and asked.

"That's right, Xiao Meimei, farm work is really tiring." Wang Ran had never done this kind of work before and was almost exhausted.

"Otherwise why would they say, hoeing the field at noon, sweat dripping down to the ground." Tang Mei said unconsciously.

"Hey, Xiao Meimei, I didn't know you could recite poems," Wang Ran asked with a little surprise.

"Well, I heard my oldest cousin, who was studying at the same time, read it once, and I remembered it." Tang Mei stuck out her tongue. Oh my god, she almost let herself be known.

"Haha, Xiao Meimei, you have a really good memory." Pei Yanyan admired from the side. It's really amazing that such a young child can recite poems.

"Little Meimei, can you take us to the captain? We can't find the way."

"What do you want to see the captain for?" Tang Mei was a little confused.

"Your sister Yan and I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay." Tang Mei knew without asking that the two of them wanted to take a leave.

····

"Captain Grandpa" Tang Mei started calling the captain of Team 5 who was eating steamed buns under a tree from a distance.

"Hey, it's Xiao Meimei. What's the matter?" The captain smiled at Tang Mei. He quite liked this diligent little girl.

"Captain, we are looking for you," Wang Ran said first.

"Oh, what's the matter?" The team leader looked at the two female educated youth with an expression that said, "I know what you want to say."

"Well, Pei Zhiqing and I would like to take a leave this afternoon." Wang Ran quickly held out his hand. His white and tender hands were covered with blisters. "We want to go back and apply some medicine."

"Okay, don't be late tomorrow morning." The team leader did not make it difficult and agreed generously. Just kidding, the village chief had come to him specifically in the morning and said that these educated youth were the key personnel assigned by the commune and they must be taken good care of and not allowed to complain to their superiors.
