Chapter 94 Is it grass?

Su Nanzhi didn't know that someone was tossing and turning because of her. She slept until dawn and was soundly sleeping when she was woken up by a knock on the door in the morning.

Ding Xiaoli standing by was obviously very tired. She didn't feel anything at all and was still sleeping.

Su Nanzhi put on her clothes and opened the door, and the person she saw was Huang Xiumei with dark circles under her eyes.

Huang Xiumei saw Su Nanzhi's face flushed from sleeping, and rubbed her aching head. Su Nanzhi came back suddenly yesterday, and she forgot to ask Qin Lie if anything happened.

When she saw Su Nanzhi at this moment, she immediately asked about her doubts.

"You asked us for money in the telegram. Did something happen to Ali?"

Since Su Nanzhi chose to return to Qinjia Village, she had naturally made preparations. When she heard this, she casually found an excuse, "Brother Lie was injured, and I wanted to make some more nutritious food for him. Doesn't this cost money?"

Huang Xiumei breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help wanting to hit Su Nanzhi. However, after meeting Su Nanzhi's cold eyes, she didn't do it. She kept complaining, "You suddenly sent a telegram without explaining clearly, and scared us. If I had known, I wouldn't have let your uncle and sister go to the army. What a waste of money..."

Su Nanzhi interrupted her mumbling impatiently, "So, Aunt Xiumei, why did you call me so early in the morning?"

"Have you cleaned my room?" She glanced at the bedroom which was still dirty.

Huang Xiumei rolled her eyes. Cleaning was out of the question. She acted as if nothing had happened last night. "Hurry up and get up and go to work. Otherwise, there won't be enough money at home this year, and we won't get any food. I'll bring you breakfast later."

After saying that, she looked at Su Nanzhi, but she had made up her mind that as long as Su Nanzhi refused, she would make this matter known to the whole village.

But to her surprise, Su Nanzhi did not refuse, and even nodded very straightforwardly. Before leaving the yard, she said to her, "Aunt Huang, don't forget to bring me breakfast today like you did before."

Su Nanzhi curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically, turned around and walked towards the field.

Although she looks thin, she is very efficient and can be as fast as an adult man.

Less than half a year after arriving at the Qin family, she went to the fields to earn work points.

Even Qin Youliang only got half a work point due to his physical disability, and Qin Lie, as the only healthy male in the family, avoided collective work before joining the army on the grounds of going to school. Huang Xiumei used the excuse of poor health, and Qin Lan used her young age as an excuse, even though Qin Lan was only one year younger than her.

The more Su Nanzhi thought about it, the more she felt that she was extremely stupid in her previous life, and she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly on her face.

The villagers who were already busy working in the fields saw the smile on Su Nanzhi's face and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Oh, the feng shui of the army is really good. Nanzhi has looked better than before after being there for a few days."

Su Nanzhi looked down at her hands, which were much whiter than before. When she heard the villagers' words, she was not as shy as before. Instead, she nodded frankly.

The villagers who originally wanted to tease Su Nanzhi did not expect her to react like this, and what they were about to say was suddenly useless.

"Nanzhi, didn't you just come back yesterday? Why are you here to work today?"

There were also some villagers who were not shy and asked with frowns.

Although most people nowadays have never traveled far, there are educated youth from the city living in the village. Sometimes these educated youth come back to visit their relatives, and their expressions are no different from those of people who have done farm work for a few days.

You can imagine that staying on the train for several days is not a pleasant experience. You should at least have a good rest for a day after getting off the train.

However, the villager who asked the question did not wait for Su Nanzhi to respond, and started answering his own questions.

"Hey, kid, you just feel sorry for your Aunt Xiumei, but even if you feel sorry for your aunt, you should also take care of your health."

Several aunts nearby nodded in agreement.

Su Nanzhi didn't blame them for their reaction. After all, she used to rush to do everything to please the Qin family, and she would also protect the Qin family's reputation outside.

The Qin family's good reputation is also due to her contribution, but now she doesn't want to be a good person anymore.

"I can't help it. It's just that I'm unlucky. Aunt Xiumei's health has been poor since she came to the Qin family. I'm the only one who can work at home now. If I don't work, the whole family will have nothing to eat by the end of the year."

As soon as these words were spoken, the aunts looked at Su Nanzhi with more sympathy, and at the same time they began to murmur in their hearts. When she was young, Huang Xiumei was in good health, but after Su Nanzhi came to Qinjia Village, her health was not so good.

Could it be that Su Nanzhi is really unlucky?

Su Nanzhi pretended not to notice the different expressions on everyone's faces and continued, "It doesn't matter if I work harder. If you ladies know of any prescriptions that can cure illnesses, please tell me. Maybe you can cure Aunt Xiumei."

After hearing this, everyone no longer thought that Su Nanzhi was unlucky. Look, what a well-behaved child! If the children in their family were half as well-behaved as Nanzhi, they would laugh in their dreams at night.

And if Su Nanzhi was really unlucky, why was she unlucky only with Huang Xiumei and not with Qin Lie who became an officer?

The only thing to blame is Huang Xiumei's bad luck.

They thought about it, and soon they actually had quite a few prescriptions for conditioning the body. "I do have prescriptions for treating illnesses, but what's wrong with Xiumei?"

All medicines are poisonous. If something bad happens to them after taking them, they won't be able to afford the compensation.

Su Nanzhi pretended to think, and hesitated before saying, "Sometimes I have headaches and leg pains, but sometimes I also have back pains, chest pains, and stomach pains..."

Anyway, wherever I can feel something hurts.

However, Su Nanzhi did not make up what she said. These were all excuses Huang Xiumei made for not wanting to go to work.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. How could someone with pain all over their body still have such a rosy complexion? The way Huang Xiumei scolded Su Nanzhi at the village entrance yesterday didn't sound like she was ill.

But then again, Nanzhi is so nice to Huang Xiumei, but Huang Xiumei...

Some things cannot be thought about too much, because the more you think about them, the more you find something wrong.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be lost in thought, Su Nanzhi smiled faintly, hiding her achievements and fame.

"But you've already returned from the army. Why did your uncle take Xiaolan to the army again when you have grain?"

"Did something happen to Ali in the army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ears of the people around them perked up and their faces were filled with gossip.

In addition to envy, many people in the village were jealous of Qin Lie, their fellow villager who became an officer.

Su Nanzhi did not answer, but just smiled bitterly, leaving everyone with ample room for imagination.

Without giving anyone a chance to ask further questions, she walked towards the village chief.

Although the village chief did not join in the fun just now, he had been paying attention to what was happening on Su Nanzhi's side. He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated in the end, and quickly arranged today's tasks for Su Nanzhi.

The job that Su Nanzhi was assigned to today was not that tiring. It was weeding. This job was not very profitable and was always assigned to the elderly and children in the village who were unable to work.

In the past, Su Nanzhi was a model worker and her work was worth the full 10 points. She never did work that was only worth six or seven points, so the village chief would not give it to her.

"Why? Do you think your work points are too low?"

Seeing that Su Nanzhi remained silent for a long time, the village chief spoke in a hoarse voice, "Now the only one left who has a full share of work is the manure carrier."

Su Nanzhi didn't want to work for the Qin family anymore, so she immediately shook her head and walked towards the allocated farmland.

Although she had not done farm work for decades in her previous life, as soon as Su Nanzhi squatted down, her body muscles reacted so well that she started pulling out the weeds quickly without thinking.

Su Nanzhi reacted quickly and threw the weeds in her hand away, and a voice sounded beside her.

"Comrade, you have a very good eye."

Su Nanzhi looked sideways and found that there was a man squatting next to her.

Or to be more precise, it was a boy. The boy looked about the same age as her, and from his clothes one could tell he was an educated youth.

"Do you think I'm pulling out weeds?"
