Chapter 49: A melon is also covered by after-sales service

Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu chatted for a while and then stopped talking. They didn't go to the space to study, but closed their eyes and started to take a nap.

If Ning Xiyue doesn’t have a good rest at noon, she’s afraid that she won’t have the energy to work in the afternoon. She has to be in a good state.

When it was time to go to work, the penetrating gongs and drums sounded. Ning Xiyue, who hadn't even opened her eyes, sat up like a conditioned reflex, then lifted the curtain, got up, washed her face, got the kettle, put on her hat, and left.

The entire process is a mechanical execution of commands given automatically by the body, without a trace of emotion.

I was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness the whole time, until I went out and felt the scorching hot sun outside, then I woke up completely.

Walking outside the drying yard, Ning Xiyue rubbed her face, trying to make her face, which looked a little dull due to not waking up yet, more lively.

I walked in with a smile and greeted all the aunts in the group one by one.

Aunt Yang Liu held a kettle and drank water to moisten her throat, "Xiyue, how was your lunch break?"

"Well, I had a good rest. I am in good spirits and full of energy. I have enough energy to work well in the afternoon." Ning Xiyue smiled and nodded, and took out the kettle and took a sip: "Aunt, how was your rest?"

"That's good too. Just rest well. The working hours are long in the afternoon. A good rest at noon will give you energy to work."

Aunt Yang Liu looked around, sat down next to Ning Xiyue and said in a low voice:

"But you don't have to be as honest as you were this morning. You can see how many other people are as honest as you. When the work is almost done, you can just work lazily. If you don't stop, no one will say anything and they won't catch you doing anything wrong. If you see others taking a break, just follow them."

Ning Xiyue responded with a smile.

She worked in the morning because she thought she couldn't be too blatantly lazy on her first day at work. In fact, it's not that she didn't rest at all, but when she was lazy, others thought she was working seriously.

Aunt Yang Liu also taught Ning Xiyue some little secrets on how to slack off at work in the afternoon.

"It's even hotter in the afternoon, so our main task is to turn the crops over to dry. We only need to turn them over every once in a while, so we don't have to stay in the sun all the time. We can sit in the shade of the trees around us, rest, drink some water, and chat for a while. You can do whatever you want when the time comes."

"Yeah, thank you for sharing your experience, auntie."

Ning Xiyue really didn't expect that Aunt Yang Liu, as the captain's wife, didn't teach her how to work hard, but taught her how to be lazy. It was really unexpected and surprising. She liked this aunt who was not rigid and pedantic at all.

Sure enough, when they started to work, the others sat under a tree and chatted after turning over the grain. Ning Xiyue followed their actions, doing whatever the other aunts did, and completely integrated into the team of aunts.

The other aunts sat under the tree, doing their own things while chatting about family matters and gossip about the team, such as which couple had a fight, who was chasing cats and dogs, what happened to whose wives and daughters, etc., without repeating themselves.

Ning Xiyue sat on the wooden rake and listened to them quietly, getting a lot of information and gossip about the team.

Suddenly, one of the aunts, whose surname was Liu, poked her head out to look at the other aunt Wang and Li Cuihua who was sitting alone drinking water, and lowered her voice to call the people around her to come closer.

Seeing this, Ning Xiyue moved along with the other aunts and put their heads closer to listen to what the aunt said.

"Hurry up and tell me."

Auntie stopped sewing the soles of shoes, leaned forward, and whispered, "Didn't Li Cuihua and Wang Dazui have a fight today? Did you know that they had another fight when they got home at noon?"

Other aunts: “There is also this matter.”

"Are you making trouble again? What's the situation?"

Aunt Liu, who had started the conversation, was a little proud when she saw that no one knew about it. She said excitedly, "You don't know. Come, I'll tell you."

"It seems that Wang Dazui found out that Li Cuihua's daughter had gone to bother her son again, so he moved a bench and sat at the wall in the yard, cursing at Li Cuihua's family next door."

Aunt Liu used some body language while she was speaking. One of her feet moved as she spoke, and she pursed her lips as she continued:

"Li Cuihua was no pushover, so how could she tolerate Wang Dazui's nasty words? The two started swearing at each other across the wall. You called my daughter shameless, and I called your son a bad seed who couldn't find a wife. The swearing got worse and worse, and the two climbed up to the top of the wall and started fighting. In the end, the heads of the two families pulled them down before they stopped."

Ning Xiyue felt a little familiar when she heard the gossip that Aunt Liu told about Aunt Wang and Li Cuihua's family. It was a bit similar to the gossip she heard at noon.

Keep listening.

One aunt even said with some envy: "It is good for you to live close to each other. You can also watch the fun of both families."

Aunt Liu nodded and continued, "You didn't see it. The way they fought on the wall was hilarious. They pushed their own ladders over, and then they fought on top of them. They used their hands to flutter around, and they couldn't move too much, for fear that they would not hit the other person and would fall off themselves."

After listening to Aunt Liu's words, the three aunts began to express their opinions and ideas.

One said: "When will these two families stop causing trouble? This has happened several times."

Another said: "I'm afraid it won't stop. Li Cuihua doesn't know how to teach her daughter. Her daughter Wu Xiuli doesn't ask for money and gives herself away. I don't know how many jokes she will make. If I were Wang Dazui, I would make trouble too. She is lazy, greedy and strong. Who would want a daughter-in-law like this?"

"Wang Dazui will never agree to Wu Xiuli marrying her family's Li Jiandang. He just wants to harm Li Jiandang, who is such a hardworking boy. What a pity! With Wu Xiuli around, it will be difficult for this boy to find a wife." An aunt who was impressed by Li Jiandang's ability to earn work points shook her head with regret.

"Yeah, what a pity! If Li Jiandang was more powerful and tough, maybe Wu Xiuli wouldn't dare to pester him."

Ning Xiyue's eyes sparkled. It turned out that the son and daughter that the two people were scolding in the morning were Wu Xiuli and Li Jiandang. Wu Xiuli was Li Cuihua's daughter, and Li Jiandang was Aunt Wang's son.

The melons she ate several times that day were all the same, and the melons were also provided with after-sales service, which made her not bored all day long, which was quite good.

Ning Xiyue continued to listen to their conversation, watching the show silently. As she was listening, she heard an aunt shift the topic to her, and they all looked at her and spoke.

Ning Xiyue became alert and focused her attention.
