Chapter 32 032 She is very weak

Qin Xiaoxiao examined the newly made portable stool from top to bottom, nodding in satisfaction.

Two rectangular wooden frames, one large and one small, are stacked together and connected in the middle with iron nails. The stool is then tied to the two wooden frames with sturdy strips of cloth, and a portable stool is completed.

Actually, it's not difficult to make this. Anyone who doesn't know carpentry can do it. It's just that this kind of thing didn't exist in this era. These are things that older people in later generations would carry and sit on when they went downstairs for a walk, or that fishing enthusiasts would use for convenience.

With this, Qin Xiaoxiao felt she could earn an extra work point tomorrow.

Thinking that she had only earned two work points after a whole day of work, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel discouraged.

She seems really weak.

She has no strength, no skills, and can't do any farm work. Her hands hurt when she does any work. The only reason she's like this is that she's not short of money and has the Qin family to rely on. Otherwise, she would definitely starve to death.

Looking at her two bright red palms, Qin Xiaoxiao pinched her two thumbs.

It hurts so much!

The thumb and forefinger are the most strained when weeding, and now those two fingers are burning with pain, making her dread tomorrow's work.

After locking the door, Qin Xiaoxiao returned to her space, drank a cup of warm water mixed with spiritual spring water, and gazed thoughtfully at the spiritual spring within.

Should we also let the Qin family use the spiritual spring water?

The Qin family treated her so well; she should repay them.

Add a drop of spiritual spring water to a large water vat, and if the conditioning is done slowly, no one should notice anything.

Even if she felt something was off, she could say it was because they were happy that she was home.

After thinking it through, Qin Xiaoxiao decided to drop a drop into the jar when she went to the Qin family's house at noon the next day, when no one was looking.

After drinking the water, her fingers felt much better. Qin Xiaoxiao sprayed some wound medicine on her fingers to help them heal faster and avoid suffering again tomorrow. Then she left the space, put out the fire in the stove, poured the boiled water into the bathtub, took a bath, and went to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, the first work bell rang.

Qin Xiaoxiao stretched and yawned.

"Although I got up early, it's much better than in the apocalypse. At least I can get a good night's sleep."

Muttering to herself, she didn't stop, quickly washing up and then taking out a box of self-heating rice from her storage space to eat.

Not quite full after eating just one box of rice, Qin Xiaoxiao made herself a cup of honey water and ate half a vegetarian bun before finally feeling satisfied.

Qin Xiaoxiao's mouth watered as she glanced at the soup dumplings and wontons in the space.

No, I'll endure it!

There are still two and a half months left, no rush, it will be fine once she can eat meat.

Forcibly pulling her gaze away from the pile of meat, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly filled her military water bottle with water and added a drop of spiritual spring water. She also stuffed two cornbreads into her bag. These were not the coarse, throat-scratching cornbreads of this era, but the small cornbreads specially used in restaurants in later generations. They were sweet, soft, and chewy, and she could eat four or five of them even without any vegetables.

It's a bit small, she can eat five palm-sized cornbreads in one meal, but it has its advantages, it's easy to carry and doesn't take up much space.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a few pieces of fruit candy and a few pieces of White Rabbit candy, and also wrapped two pieces of mung bean cake in oil paper. After patting the bulging bag, Qin Xiaoxiao was finally satisfied.

Wearing a dark blue homespun coat specially made for working in the fields, complete with a hat, sleeves, and gloves, Qin Xiaoxiao slowly left the house after the last working bell rang.

The educated youth in the front yard were making a lot of noise. Qin Xiaoxiao overheard them and heard that they had cooked dinner late. She also heard Miao Feifei apologizing in a wronged tone.

Is this idiot going to cook today?

Qin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, ignored what was happening in the front yard, left the educated youth compound through the back door, turned around and locked the back door, and quickly went to the threshing ground next to the village committee.

When Qin Xiaoxiao arrived, none of the educated youths had shown up yet. Qin Feng's face was already dark when he saw his niece walking over with a smile.

Qin Feng's expression immediately brightened, and he waved to Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao approached Qin Feng and said, "Good morning, sir. Have you had breakfast yet? I brought some cornbread. Would you like some?"

As Qin Xiaoxiao spoke, she lowered her head to rummage through her bag. Qin Feng quickly stopped her, saying, "Stop rummaging through it. I came over after breakfast this morning."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoxiao took out two corn cakes and two fruit candies, stuffing them all into Qin Feng's hand.

"Grandpa, have some. This cornbread is homemade, and it's different from the ones in the village. It's really sweet."

Qin Feng looked at the cornbread and fruit candy in his hand, a look of satisfaction flashing across his face.

Look at his eldest niece, she knows how to be filial to him; it wasn't for nothing that he spoiled her.

Su Zhiyuan and Luo Hongxing, who were standing to the side, glanced at the cornbread and candy in Qin Feng's hand and couldn't help but twitch their lips.

He really is just a child, bringing food to work in the fields.

Oh my, there's candy too? This is good stuff, really expensive. Only a family like the Qin's could afford it.

Qin Feng stuffed the cornbread and candy back into Qin Xiaoxiao's bag, saying, "Keep them for when you're hungry. Grandpa already ate this morning."

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoxiao stuffed the mung bean cake into Qin Feng's hands again, saying, "Then Grandpa, have this. I'll go back and get some more for Grandpa and Grandma at noon."

Thinking of Qin Aiguo and Grandma Qin, Qin Xiaoxiao looked around and asked in confusion, "Where are my grandpa and grandma? Didn't they come to work today?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at Su Zhiyuan beside him and said with a smile, "No, your grandpa and grandma had something to do today, so they didn't come. You can work on the same plot of land as yesterday."

Thinking of the plot of land where his eldest niece was working, Qin Feng frowned. He was already prepared to compensate her. If Qin Xiaoxiao continued to work like this, in less than three days, the weeds in the field would grow taller than the wheat seedlings.

He only worked more than ten meters in a day, and he only got two work points because of his reputation. If it were someone else, not only would they not get work points, but they would also get a scolding.

Qin Xiaoxiao patted her chest and waved her hand confidently, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do more today than yesterday. I just wasn't used to it yesterday, but I'll definitely do better today."

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's overbearing attitude, Qin Feng inexplicably felt that she was unreliable.

"You're new here and have never worked in the fields before, so this is good enough."

Although my niece's work was a bit of a mess, she's frail and it's already quite an achievement that she could stay in the fields all day. Why should he force her to do anything more?

Qin Feng looked up at the sky. "The sun is strong today, so take it easy. If you can't take it, rest. Don't overwork yourself."

Su Zhiyuan and Luo Hongxing couldn't help but exchange another glance.

They were puzzled. How could Qin Xiaoxiao get tired from walking only ten meters a day? Even five-year-old children in the village could do more and faster work than her.

They weeded ten meters of weeds in one day; they were all ashamed to admit it.

Sigh! I guess I'll just have to make do. After all, she's a member of the Qin family!

Moreover, this child has been in poor health since childhood. It's good enough if she can do ten meters. How can you expect her to be able to compete with a team of livestock?
