SIAS Chapter 30.2

She first went to Aunt Guihua’s private plot to pick a handful of leeks, a few tender cucumbers, a loofah, and a few green onions.

Then, she went to the Village Chief’s house and bought a straw hat from Aunt Dongmei, and prepared a bamboo hat and a raincoat.

Lunch was light. She fried scallion oil, made a bowl of scallion oil noodles, and fried an egg. She cut the tender cucumbers and sprinkled some sugar on them as fruit.

After eating, she took a hoe and went to the back of her house, planning to open her private plot. She cleared the weeds and dug out the boundaries with a hoe.

She worked until the afternoon whistle sounded, and then she went back to put things away.

“Why did you come back from outside? Still holding a hoe?” Qian Lailai, who had not recovered from a nap, asked her curiously.

“I took advantage of the lunch break to clean up my private plot. I plan to open a door at the back like Comrade Xie did and build a small yard to enclose my private plot. I asked Aunt Guihua this morning, and she told me to find Uncle Yougen.”

Yi Qingqing said as she went back to the house to put her things away and went out with a kettle filled in advance and soap for Aunt Guihua.

Qian Lailai hadn’t come back to her senses yet.

What did she say? She actually did the morning work and cleaned up the private plot during the lunch break?

Seeing her coming out, Qian Lailai couldn’t help but say, “Yi Qingqing, are you born in the year of the Ox? You are so capable!”

Hearing this, Yun Guyuan almost couldn’t help nodding. This girl really impressed him every time, but was she too tired?

How could a girl like a delicate flower have the energy of a wildflower?

After another afternoon of hard work, Yi Qingqing had perfectly integrated into the aunts of Team 1.

Work with them, rest on the ridges of the fields together, gossip and chat with them, and listen to them talking about the gossip of other families.

Among them, the most popular gossip was about the marriage of children and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Yi Qingqing rarely commented on anything, but she listened very carefully, and from time to time, she would ask what was next or what happened later. This made the speaker feel very accomplished.

Li Mengxue was feeling very uncomfortable at this time. Her supermarket space could not help her with her work.

She was also exposed to the sun day after day, and even sunscreen couldn’t save her skin.

After working in the wind and sun for three or four years, would her face still be good-looking? Wouldn’t it be a waste of her body? She could be a little beauty if she dressed up!

How could she, a person who loved beauty so much, bear this?

No, she had to think of a way to change to a lighter job. The work points didn’t matter to her, but the key was that she couldn’t make her face rough.

Li Mengxue thought as she moved her steps. She immediately thought of the primary school behind the educated youth point.

Being a teacher was the best thing because you didn’t have to go to the fields except during the busy harvest season.

There were only Chinese and math teachers in the school. She wondered if there could be a foreign language teacher.

In the evening, she took her things to the captain’s house.

“What? Foreign language teacher? No, no, it won’t work. For a farmer’s kid, it’s enough to recognize a few words and learn arithmetic. Why do you need to learn to speak like a foreigner? No, no. It was taught in the city school? That’s a matter for the city.” Zhao Youtian waved his hands repeatedly.

Li Mengxue hit a snag, but she was still unwilling to give up.

“Captain, to be honest, I feel that I am not very successful in working in the fields, and I don’t want to drag down the progress of the team. I have my own way of making a living, so I don’t care much about how many points I make. As long as the work is easier, please.”

She pushed the things in front of the Captain.

Zhao Youtian shook his head. “You can’t come to me for this matter. Take this thing back and go to the Village Chief’s house to find your team leader and ask her to reduce your workload. As long as you don’t care about the number of work points, this matter should be successful.”
