"Go forward and forward, our team is moving forward, stepping on the motherland's land..." Thousands of people sang the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Song" and set off from the school gate.

It is four o'clock in the morning. All the students of Peking University are all gathered together. All the students are in long dresses and trousers. The girls have straw hats in their hands. There are bright smiles on everyone's faces, and everyone is full of energy, without the slightest sleepiness. Although the sun has not yet risen, the bright moon and twinkling stars also light up the road. The flag held high by each class was fluttering in the breeze, and the students were full of enthusiasm, walking on the road to the countryside.

Late May to mid-June is the busiest season for farmers. The rapeseed and wheat that were sown the year before have matured, so we need to quickly shoot into the warehouse. Immediately afterwards, the most important rice of the year came to the planting season. Especially in May and June is the rainy season. God's face is like a child. I don't know when it will rain heavily.

If the mature wheat in the field is not taken back before the heavy rain falls, after a heavy rain, almost all the wheat will fall to the ground, and it will sprout when the rain is soaked. Sprouted wheat can't be eaten, so it will reduce the yield. At this time of the year, Peking University will organize teachers and students to go to the countryside to help.

The location they chose this time was the five-star brigade in Haidian Town, not too far from the school. The teachers and students of Peking University walked all the way, and when they arrived, it was less than five o'clock.

When they arrived, someone from the Five Star Brigade was already waiting there. The school leaders stepped forward, and after a conversation between the two sides, the students in the entire school divided into four directions and proceeded with the department as a unit.

Xu Ning and the others walked to the north, until they stopped at a large open space. Smelling the scent in the air, everyone started to rebel. They came out in the morning and haven't eaten breakfast yet.

"Everyone rests in place, and a few people from each class come up to receive breakfast. This is something the villagers made specially for everyone early in the morning because they were afraid that everyone would be hungry. The students had to work harder when they had breakfast. Ah." The dean of the department shouted, standing in the middle of the crowd, holding a loudspeaker.

"Okay." There was breakfast, and the students shouted one by one. The folks from the Five-Star Brigade stood on the side and looked at the students grinning. The happiest thing is to count the children in the village. I have never seen such a lively scene, one by one around the side and enjoying themselves.

After breakfast, genius is slightly brighter. The students were divided into three waves, one for harvesting wheat, one for transportation, and one for drying. Xu Ning was assigned the job of drying, and it was the easiest to compare the other two.

In the 1970s, all wheat was harvested manually, and there were no harvesters at this time. After the wheat has been cut, people have to pick it ashore again and again, and then use a cart to pull it to the wheat field. When you arrive at the wheat field, spread the wheat out and expose it to the sun. When it is almost dried, use cattle to pull stone rollers and grind them round and round on the wheat field until the wheat falls off.

Because the wheat hasn't been cut down yet, Xu Ning and others naturally don't need to dry anything. But just sitting in the wheat field and waiting is not enough, so you still need to go down and help harvest at this time.

Holding sickles, bend down in a row. Everyone is eager to win. Everyone is stubborn and cuts hard. Those who move fast will soon end up in a row. At this time, the first person to reach the end will stand up straight and look at the person behind with a triumphant expression. The others were not to be outdone, and the sickle danced quickly, trying to overtake when they returned.
