Three groups of people came to Qinjiagou to work. These people were all respected senior leaders and professors. Qin Feng always adopted the principle of ignoring them and not paying attention to them. He would assign them work, but not much, ensuring that they could finish their work without causing them any burden.

These people live in slightly better conditions than those in other brigades. Their living conditions are not as rudimentary, so they won't freeze to death in winter or have their houses washed away by rain. However, they are still not as good as those in the village.

As for food, Qin Feng didn't mistreat them. They ate whatever the villagers ate, and sometimes he would secretly share some rice with them, but not much. At most, they would get three to five catties a year. Qin Feng wouldn't dare give them more than that.

These are all on the surface, but behind the scenes, Qin Feng's care for these people, while not exactly meticulous, was certainly very accommodating. He wouldn't mistreat them, even for his father's sake.

On the surface, Qin Aiguo had no contact with these people, but Qin Xiaoxiao knew that Qin Aiguo would go to see them one night every month, stay for half an hour, and then come back, never staying longer.

These same people brought countless opportunities and hopes to Qinjiagou after the village opened up, and a large number of young people from Qinjiagou left the village to pursue a bright future.

Qin Xiaoxiao had read all of these things in the book. She had originally thought about getting in touch with these people in advance, but given her cannon fodder status, she was afraid that she would be discovered as soon as she arrived. In the end, she didn't dare to do so. Anyway, these people were close to the Qin family, and she was a member of the Qin family. As long as she didn't miss out on any benefits, that was fine.

Therefore, even though she had been in Qinjiagou for a year, Qin Xiaoxiao had never gone to the shacks. Those people lived on the right side of the mountain wall of Mao'er Mountain, not far from the path leading up the mountain, but Qin Xiaoxiao had never even glanced in that direction.

The three people, Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Nanfeng, were to protect the old commander who had come here to work two years ago and was also among the last group to arrive in Qinjiagou.

Xiao Nanfeng searched for this old leader for two whole years before finally finding him, but he never expected that he would also find his destined lover here.

Soon the educated youth dispersed to do their own things, and Qin Xiaoxiao also hurriedly returned to the backyard, closed the door, and slipped into her spatial dimension.

The third male lead has appeared. She needs to check the notebook again to make sure nothing goes wrong, otherwise it would be terrible if it hurts her or the Qin family.

After spending an hour checking and flipping through the book again, Qin Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of the male and female protagonists with the most upright values ​​among the five books, the entire book describes the deep and tragic love between the two, without causing unnecessary harm to anyone. Apart from her, who was a cannon fodder character, falling off the mountain and dying, no one else in this book dies!

Damn it! Why am I always the one who gets hurt?

Can't we just find someone else?

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to stick out her middle finger and challenge the heavens, but she didn't dare. She still remembered the lesson of almost being struck by lightning last time, and she didn't want to die.

Reassured that she wouldn't be hurt, Qin Xiaoxiao strode off to find Su Lu.

Su Lu has been going to work on time these past few days, but the work points he earns are really low. However, he brings back a lot of things behind the scenes. He has already earned two or three hundred yuan in cash these days.

They found Su Lu without any trouble. Unsurprisingly, he was lying at the foot of the mountain where they usually rested, staring blankly at the sky.

What are you thinking about?

After kicking Su Lu, Qin Xiaoxiao sat down next to him.

Su Lu sat up and pulled Qin Xiaoxiao onto his lap. "Wife, I want to go to work. What do you think?"

Qin Xiaoxiao blinked upon hearing this, "Honey, do you have any connections? These days, every job is filled, where are you going to find one?"

Su Lu laughed and said, "Actually, I could have started working before we got married, but I turned it down because I wanted to stay with you and didn't want to be too far away from you."

But now, ..."

He never expected his wife to be so rich. All the money he had saved over the years was less than a fraction of what she had. That's why he was so eager to earn some money quickly, even if it wasn't as much as his wife's, so that she wouldn't have to spend her own money in the future.

She can keep her money to herself; he's a man, and it's his duty to earn money to support his wife.

But his wife was used to spending money, and the little money he earned from working and hunting was only enough for her daily expenses. If she wanted to buy something big, he would have to save up for several months.

Qin Xiaoxiao understood Su Lu's thoughts. Any man who doesn't like being a kept man would feel ashamed if he had to rely on his wife for support.

"Tell me, what kind of work is it?"

Su Lu smiled and said, "He's a driver from the transport team. I helped one of their experienced drivers before; he's the one who taught me how to drive."

Sometimes I'm away from home for ten days or half a month to help out at the transport team. Actually, in principle, I should be considered an unofficial member of the transport team, more flexible than a temporary worker. I can go whenever I want, and stay home if I don't want to, and no one will say anything or deduct my pay.

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Xiaoxiao realized that it was indeed as Su Lu had said; he was even more free than a temporary worker.

“When the transport team goes to other places, it is permissible to smuggle some goods. I have driven long distances a few times before and brought back a lot of good stuff to sell. The money I made from those few trips alone is this.”

Su Lu gave Qin Xiaoxiao a thumbs-up.

Qin Xiaoxiao was shocked.

Earning a thousand yuan in just a few times? That's way too much!

Su Lu shook his head nonchalantly, "This is nothing. They earn much more. What they like to wear most are watches. They are small, don't take up much space, are easy to carry, and they earn a lot when they sell them. They can sell several at a time and easily earn nearly a thousand yuan."

Qin Xiaoxiao was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth. "How can they earn so much?"

Su Lu whispered, "Watches are cheap in the south. They can be sold for double the price on the black market. Think about it, you buy one for a hundred dollars and sell it for two hundred. If you wear ten, you'll have a thousand dollars."

Qin Xiaoxiao swallowed twice. "Honey, you can go to work tomorrow. It's just a long-distance trip once a month. Wait a minute."

Just as Su Lu was happy that Qin Xiaoxiao had agreed to let him go to work, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's brows were furrowed tightly.

She had heard before that long-distance driving was dangerous, with poor road conditions and frequent robberies, especially after the opening up of the country. Almost every driver had encountered such incidents; those who were lucky only lost some valuables, while those who were unlucky could lose their lives.

While things aren't as chaotic now, they're certainly not peaceful either.

"Let's forget about it. Don't risk your life for a little money."

Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Unexpectedly, his wife knew about the things he had deliberately hidden.

Su Lu gave a wry smile and lay back down on the grass.

The main reason he hesitated and only told his wife now is that long-distance driving is dangerous. He is not the same as before. Before, he was a bachelor and could die if he died. But now he has a wife. His life is no longer just his own. He has to be responsible for Xiaoxiao. What will happen to Xiaoxiao if something happens to him?
