Tigers have amazing recovery abilities; they can run and jump again after just three days.

Knowing that the tiger's testicles had been removed, Ma Chaoyang stared at Qin Hanshu in shock, "How could you be so cruel!"

"What do you know?!" Qin Hanshu explained the benefits of the egg to him.

Ma Chaoyang reluctantly accepted it after hearing this.

To appease the tiger after its surgery, Ma Chaoyang bought an old hen, cooked its internal organs, and fed them to the tiger.

As usual, the chicken was shared among everyone.

Qin Hanshu advised, "You should be more low-key in the future. Being so generous might attract people with ill intentions."

Ma Chaoyang turned his pockets inside out and complained, "I won't be able to be generous anymore. The 500 yuan my mom gave me before I left has almost all been spent."

Qin Hanshu was stunned. Ma Chaoyang had actually spent 500 in such a short time? She hadn't even spent that much money!

"Tsk tsk, what a waste!" Qin Hanshu asked, "So what are you going to do in the future?"

Ma Chaoyang shook his head and said indifferently, "If you have money, spend it; if you don't, just be happy being poor."

Qin Hanshu: "Judging from your current situation, you can't even earn enough to eat."

“…That’s true,” Ma Chaoyang scratched his head, “So what do we do?”

Was he asking her? Qin Hanshu was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Hanshu said, "Why don't you go and give Accountant Niu a pack of cigarettes and ask him to assign you the scorekeeper job? You can earn an extra day."

Ma Chaoyang replied, "I don't have that stuff, I don't smoke!"

Qin Hanshu: "...I have some. Considering how much good food you fed the tiger, I'll give you two packs."

Ma Chaoyang mistakenly thought Qin Hanshu smoked, but he wasn't surprised because many of the older women around him smoked—his grandmother was a heavy smoker!

"Thanks!"

When Ma Chaoyang delivered cigarettes to Niu's door, Accountant Niu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

We've finally opened this year!

So he didn't mind that two packs of cigarettes weren't enough and readily assigned the scorer position to Ma Chaoyang.

It's currently the off-season for farming, but that doesn't mean there's absolutely no farm work to do; it just means there's relatively less.

As usual, villagers go out early and return late to apply winter fertilizer to crops. The winter wheat has sprouted, and weeding work needs to be carried out in the fields.

Zhang Yao and Zhang Kangmei earn work points every day.

Qin Hanshu didn't rest all the time; she would find something to do every day.

At this time of year, much of the grass and trees on the ground have withered, and there are no large areas of pasture. The sheep in the village have begun to be kept in pens.

The village has prepared enough fodder for the winter, but before winter has fully arrived, the villagers will send people to cut some fresh fodder to feed the sheep.

This job is relatively easy, and you can walk around and explore, so it's usually assigned to women.

That day, Qin Hanshu, Zhang Yao, and Zhang Kangmei, three female educated youths, were assigned to cut grass.

Originally, there were only three of them, but a fair-skinned young man squeezed in just before they were about to leave.

The production team leader, who was in a fit of rage, rushed over and yelled, "Qi Gangyong! I told you to carry manure, what are you doing here with the grass-cutting team?!"

Aunt Qi's son, Qi Gangyong?

The legendary Qi Gangyong was practically the lazy god of Haowan Village. It was said that he rarely went out. During the busy farming season, even when Secretary Zhou personally went to his house to catch him, he wasn't afraid at all.

Anyway, Aunt Qi had a high number of work points, and her family also received a pension from the commune, so she wasn't worried about not earning enough work points.

Even if you were the King of Heaven, you wouldn't be able to move his hands and feet.

Qin Hanshu looked at Qi Gangyong with curiosity.

His appearance is the exact opposite of his name.

He is quite handsome, tall and slender.

His face was a pale, unseen complexion, and he had a somewhat frail, scholarly air about him.

"Hello ladies," Qi Gangyong said with a smile. "You can pretend I don't exist. I'm just here to earn some work points."

Production team leader: "...I haven't left yet." She actually dared to openly say she was just trying to get work points right in front of him!

Qi Gangyong waved his hand and said, "Uncle, then you should go. Go and get your manure sorted out."

Production team leader: "..."

Qi Gangyong was notorious for his shamelessness, and no one could do anything about him. The production team leader did not even attempt to persuade Qi Gangyong.

Having fulfilled his superficial duty, he said a few words, but seeing that Qi Gangyong wouldn't listen, he walked away.

If the village can't handle it, Qin Hanshu and the others certainly won't.

There are no quotas for mowing lawns; you mow as much as you can, so it's not like you're holding anyone back.

But... why would someone like this come out to earn work points when he could just stay home? He doesn't need the meager earnings.

Soon, they found out the reason.

Liao Yujie appeared dressed in red, with a red ribbon tied to the end of her braid, and her eyebrows were drawn with matchsticks.

Although she was dressed entirely in red, Liao Yujie has a classical appearance with delicate eyebrows and eyes. When she is not speaking, she has the air of a lady in a painting, so she does not appear vulgar.

As soon as Qi Gangyong saw Liao Yujie, he waved happily, "I'm here!"

Liao Yujie ran over, "Oh dear, you said you'd get me some fabric to make me new clothes, and you actually came out here to earn work points!"

Qin Hanshu, Zhang Yao, and Zhang Kangmei exchanged glances. They had never seen Liao Yujie so... delicate!

In contrast, Qin Hanshu was not so shocked. After all, she had witnessed Liao Yujie and Aunt Qi arguing and could guess some of the reasons from their words.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't intend to go on a date under their noses.

Qi Gangyong and Liao Yujie took a different path and parted ways with them.

"Are they dating?!" Zhang Kangmei finally blurted out what she had been holding in!
