"Brother, brother, please teach me."

After lunch, Yang Xiaole wanted to take a nap, but Xiaoli came over and asked him to teach her phonetic letters.

"Alright, I'll teach you. This one is pronounced like opening your mouth wide, ah ah ah!"

"Opening your mouth wide, ah ah ah!"

Xiaoli followed along.

Meanwhile, next door, Wang Qiuju was taking a nap.

...

In the afternoon, the fourth and fifth grade students had to arrive at school half an hour early to secretly feed the livestock in the space.

The three of them set off again.

When they returned to school, Teacher Luo was already there with the students who hadn't gone home, preparing things.

The proactive and advanced class monitor, Tian Youliang, had also arrived.

After entering, Yang Xiaole already knew the rules. Each class had 10 shovels and over 30 dustpans. The strong ones would dig the sand and the rest would sift the sand.

Dog Sheng sat next to him and asked, "Are you going to dig sand or sift sand?"

Yang Xiaole looked at him and shrugged, "I don't want to do either!"

"Teacher Luo said everyone has to participate."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and finally said, "We'll see later! I can't even lift it!"

Dog Sheng looked at him and seemed to agree.

This guy was someone who would fall over with just a touch.

After waiting for a while, when Luo Jinping saw that everyone had arrived, he started shouting, "Alright, now that everyone is here, grab your things. Each person takes one and meet at the playground."

Everyone hurriedly went to get their things and followed him out of the classroom.

Yang Xiaole walked at the back and looked at the last remaining shovel, rolling his eyes.

It was so tiring to carry it.

Luo Jinping didn't leave and looked at his expression, smiling as he held the shovel, "Alright, let's go. You'll see later."

After saying that, he left the classroom.

Naturally, Yang Xiaole followed behind.

When they arrived at the playground, there were a total of three classes and over a hundred people.

The ones leading the teams were all familiar faces.

After Luo Jinping exchanged a few words, he came back and shouted to everyone, "Alright, the fifth grade will lead the way to the riverside."

The group of people walked towards the riverside in a grand manner.

"Let's sing a song, I'll start and you all sing along! Is that okay?"

A voice came from the back of the line.

The students didn't have to attend classes, so naturally they were very happy and cheered.

"Alright, I'll start. The East is Red, the sun rises, get ready to sing!"

...

The East is Red, the sun rises, China has Mao Zedong.

He works for the happiness of the people, hey ya hey yo, he is the great savior of the people.

He works for the happiness of the people, hey ya hey yo, he is the great savior of the people.

...

As time passed, more and more people joined in, and the voices became louder...

While singing, the group arrived at the riverside.

Everyone looked towards Luo Jinping and the other teachers.

Luo Jinping looked at the river and greeted everyone, "Alright, take off your shoes and put them aside. I'll do an experiment for you later."

Since they were all kids, there were naturally very few who didn't like playing in the water.

Usually, they might get beaten for playing in the water, but now they were ordered to play in the water, so they happily rushed into the river.

"Don't run around, watch your step, and bring your things with you!"

Luo Jinping shouted from the side.

Everyone quieted down, knowing that they were here to work.

In the river, Luo Jinping gathered everyone together, holding a dustpan in his hand, and said to Tian Youliang, "Come, shovel some sand into the dustpan with the shovel."

(Some people might say it's a wooden tray, but it's actually the kind of dustpan that doesn't leak. It's not a wooden tray.)

Tian Youliang naturally followed his instructions.

He scooped up some sand from the riverbed and put it into the dustpan.

When Luo Jinping felt it was enough, he stopped and looked at the students, saying, "Watch closely! I'll do it once for you to see."

Then, he bent down and put the dustpan into the water.

He swayed it back and forth, shaking out the mud inside.

After a few minutes, he stood up and said, "See, the big stones on top have been washed away, and what's left is the grayish-green stuff we want."

After speaking, he shouted to the crowd, "Did you all understand?"

"We understand!"

"We heard you!"

...

The students responded one after another.

Seeing everyone's response, Luo Jinping shouted to the crowd, "Alright, if you understand, go and try it. The strong ones can use the shovel, but be careful and keep your feet away when digging."

Everyone found their partners happily.

One shovel and three dustpans.

Yang Xiaole glanced at them.

There were too many impurities, and there were quite a few colored particles in it!

Seeing everyone's excitement, Yang Xiaole ran around and looked around, but he didn't do any work.

Zhang Liu'er looked at him and muttered, "If you're not going to work, don't get in the way!"

Yang Xiaole stood with his hands behind his back, giving instructions, "I'm here to supervise you guys. Your technique is wrong. You should start slowly, otherwise it will all wash away. If it doesn't work, just crush it with your hands."

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Hearing this, Zhang Liu'er looked at him suspiciously.

Then she tried it according to his method.

Unexpectedly, it worked!

"Your brain is really sharp, huh?"

Zhang Liu'er praised him with a smile, then bent down and started working.

Yang Xiaole looked at these excited little kids and estimated that they would be crying in a few days.

Everyone wasn't too surprised that Yang Xiaole wasn't working, just like in the previous class.

This guy had a reputation for being lazy, just like his grades.

Feeling a bit embarrassed by everyone's gaze, Yang Xiaole still picked up the shovel and started digging the river sand. After all, digging a few shovels meant a long break.

Everyone was still excited, working and playing around, and singing songs.

They worked until after five o'clock before packing up and heading back.Looking at the stuff, it weighed no more than a few pounds, and it was full of impurities.

After school in the afternoon, everyone happily went home.

Because there were only two classes today, everyone spent the rest of the time playing in the water. How could they not be happy?

Walking on the road, Xi Zi looked envious.

"Brother, I also want to play in the water."

Yang Xiaole glanced at him, "Don't rush, your busy time will come! Just wait!"

Hearing this, Xi Zi looked delighted.

Yang Xiaole nodded, of course, there were four months in total!

According to what he had seen before, in the later stage, not to mention the lower grades, even the first grade would have to participate, and they would eat and drink at school, going home once a week.

It's okay now, but by October, or even the end of September, the temperature would start to drop.

At that time, going to the river would be really refreshing!

Just wait and see if you're happy, just don't cry when the time comes.

Then he glanced at the innocent Xiaoli, it seemed that she shouldn't have been sent to school this year, she should have waited another year.

Never mind, he would see. If it was too cold and they still had to work, he would let the little kid skip school and go next year.

When they got home, Wang Qiuju was still waiting for them with the meal, just like at noon.

Corn grits porridge.

Served with pickles.

Looking at the porridge, Yang Xiaole thought of the canteen and asked Wang Qiuju, "Mom, didn't you say we eat dry food every day? Why have we started having porridge in the evening?"

Wang Qiuju was sewing a shoe sole and said without lifting her head, "Oh, the team leader said that there is only so much food in the canteen, we need to control it a bit, otherwise we won't make it to the autumn harvest. When the autumn grain comes in, we can eat properly again."

After saying that, she seemed to think of something and smiled at him, "I found out that your brain is really useful!"

"What happened?"

Yang Xiaole was puzzled, his brain had always been useful!

"The team leader said that the higher-ups are discussing it. It's possible that you students will have to eat at school in the future, and you won't have to bring your own food. The commune will provide the food, but it seems that you will have to work."

He naturally knew about this, it matched what he had guessed today. What does this have to do with whether his brain is good or not?

Seeing his confusion, Wang Qiuju explained, "Ah, you can't take a compliment! I was just talking about you! If you eat the commune's food, the production team won't let you eat theirs, except when you come home on holidays. In this way, you won't have to make up work points if you don't eat the team's food, right? Your father, your elder brother and I, the three of us, can't possibly still owe the team, can we?

Those with children will have to send them to school tomorrow!"

Yang Xiaole understood when he heard this.

Once this notice comes out, a bunch of people will have to send their children to school.

No need for someone to take care of them, and they can save work points, because the production brigade has already started planning to set up village kindergartens, so that all the labor force can go to the fields to work.

Unfortunately, it will only last for two or three months at most.

In the midst of his thoughts, the sound of Tian Cuihua cursing came from the door.

Yang Xiaole turned his head in surprise, wondering what this guy was up to again.

Didn't her son just get a job as a temporary worker in the city?
