"No, you can't." Qiao Qingqing rejected the suggestion without thinking. She said gratefully, "I appreciate your kindness, but... if the three of us go on stage, it will be too conspicuous, and once someone finds out, it will have a bad impact on you."
Qiao Qingqing was unwilling to do too many favors. It would be very annoying if these two people were targeted because of their close relationship with the Lu family.
Seeing this, the two had to give up this plan.
But they promised to provide good cover for Qiao Qingqing, and if anyone came, they would speak loudly to warn them.
Therefore, Qiao Qingqing secretly came to the rice field where the Lu family was.
The team leader was quite considerate of the Lu family. Although he gave them three rice fields, they were all relatively small, and he only required them to harvest them within one day.
The three rice fields combined are not as big as the rice field owned by Qiao Qingqing and her team.
When Qiao Qingqing came over with a sickle, she saw the old man and Mr. and Mrs. Lu were all working hard to harvest rice.
However, apart from the old man, the other two were obviously not used to holding a sickle, and they didn't even know how to use it.
The old man corrected their sitting posture while cutting the rice.
Qiao Qingqing had just gone down to the field when she suddenly heard a cry of pain and surprise from the front: "Ouch!"
As soon as she heard the sound, Qiao Qingqing knew something was wrong.
When I looked over, I suddenly saw that Mother Lu had dropped her sickle and was pinching her own fingers.
And Mr. Lu came over immediately.
"Did you cut your hand? Come on, let me see!"
When Lu Zhenfeng saw the big cut on his wife's hand, he would be lying if he said he didn't feel sorry.
He made a prompt decision: "You go up first and bandage the wound. You won't have to cut the rice later. You will be responsible for piling up the cut rice."
Time was running out, and Lu Zhenfeng couldn't leave his old father alone to harvest rice, so he ran around to heal the cut on his wife's hand.
After all, life nowadays is not as good as before and people can no longer be pampered.
"Let me see if the wound is deep?"
Qiao Qingqing also rushed over to check immediately. As soon as she spoke, the three of them noticed that there was one more person.
I was so focused on the task at hand that I didn't even notice Qiao Qingqing coming.
The Lu family was naturally overjoyed to see her.
And Qiao Qingqing would not say that she came to help because she had completed the task. She only said that the team leader deliberately gave her the opportunity to work with them.
This also made the Lu family more grateful to the captain.
Qiao Qingqing found a kind of herbal medicine with hemostatic effect on the ridge of the field, crushed it and applied it to Lu Mama's wound, and cut a piece of cloth from her clothes to bandage Lu Mama's wound.
Shi Meiyun was moved and distressed by what she saw.
"Mom is fine, it's just a minor injury, and you cut a piece of my nice clothes."
Shi Meiyun felt guilty, with tears in her eyes.
She was a woman with rich and delicate emotions. When she lived a good life in Beijing, she would cry easily. However, after being demoted, she knew that tears were useless and she no longer cried so much. The only difference was that she was still the same in front of Qiao Qingqing.
Because Qiao Qingqing basically always does things that move her or make her feel distressed.
"If clothes are torn, they can be mended. It's no big deal. Mom, please take good care of your hands. I'm waiting for you to make longevity noodles for me again in the future."
As Qiao Qingqing said this, she tied the last knot, raised her head and smiled brightly at Mother Lu.
Shi Meiyun couldn't help but stretch out her intact hand to wipe away her tears, and promised with a smile: "Okay, next year when Qingqing has her birthday, mom will make longevity noodles for our Qingqing!"
"Yeah. For now, you can just rest over there and leave the rest of the work to me."
Qiao Qingqing forcibly took the person to the rear.
Shi Meiyun felt uneasy, "How can this be possible? I also want to learn how to do it..."
"Your hand is injured today, so you can't do anything. How about this, you just stand by and watch me do it."
Qiao Qingqing didn't want her to get hurt any more.
"Mom, just listen to us. If you force yourself to work in this state, you will only cause more trouble."
Only by getting to the point can she stay quiet.
Shi Meiyun was frightened.
Qiao Qingqing simply greeted the old man and Mr. Lu, then started to work.
Looking at her skillful movements, even the old man was full of praise.
And Lu Zhenfeng was also aroused to fight.
He is a grown man, it’s impossible that he is not as good as his daughter-in-law, right?
So Lu Zhenfeng devoted all his attention to the harvesting activities.
Although Shi Meiyun was forbidden to hold a sickle, she was indeed not idle. She gathered the rice they had harvested into one place to make it easier for others to pick it up later.
Seeing rice ears scattered in the rice fields, and hearing that she could earn wages by picking them up - although the people who were sent down to the countryside were not eligible to earn wages, if the work was done well, it would be recorded as a performance - Shi Meijun started picking rice ears again.
After Qiao Qingqing found out that Mother Lu didn't follow her, she quietly went to another rice field.
This rice field is also part of the Lu family's mission.
Qiao Qingqing used space to harvest, and the speed increased sharply.
Near noon, the Lu family had just finished harvesting a rice field.
At this time, they realized that of the two remaining rice fields, only one fourth was left!
In other words, when they were not paying attention, Qingqing had harvested three out of the other four.
At this time, Qiao Qingqing came over with a sickle.
"Grandpa, I'll have to trouble you and Dad to cut the rest this afternoon. I have to go through the rest."
She couldn't harvest all the rice, so she had to leave some for the Lu family so that she could explain things to the team leader when he came to inspect in the afternoon.
The old man and Lu Zhenfeng and his wife watched her leave, all looking at her back, their faces filled with emotion.
"My Qingqing is so capable!" Shi Meiyun said with a smile, her tone full of pride and her eyes moist.
She turned to her husband and said, "Zhenfeng, you are not as good as our Qingqing."
Lu Zhenfeng also readily admitted defeat: "Indeed, Qingqing is too amazing."
"If our Lu family ever rises again, we will definitely put you first in everything."
At this moment, Mr. Lu spoke in a serious tone and expression.
Hearing this, Lu Zhenfeng and his wife put away the smiles on their faces, and seriousness appeared in their eyes.
Lu Zhenfeng nodded calmly: "Well, it should be so!"
Shi Meiyun looked in the direction where Qiao Qingqing left and murmured, "Even if I give her my heart and soul, I'm willing..."
Although Qiao Qingqing didn't say it, they are not fools!
How could they not know that she also had her own labor tasks?
After all, no matter how much the captain cared for them, he would never arrange for Qingqing to be in the same team with them to harvest rice, because the captain was a sensible man and he knew what was good for Qingqing and what would be bad for her.
What's more, if the educated youth who went to the countryside and the transferred personnel were allowed to get close to each other so openly, if they were accidentally reported, the team leader would also be punished.
And the most important thing...
When Qingqing came, her clothes were soaked with sweat and her feet were covered with mud!
All this is enough to prove that Qingqing came here specially to help them after working somewhere else!
Love and righteousness are worth a thousand gold.
This is one of the Lu family's family mottos.
Now, Qiao Qingqing once again made them feel what deep love and loyalty mean!
Qiao Qingqing didn't know that she had deeply moved the Lu family again, and even made Mr. Lu decide that from now on, her feelings would come first in everything.
What a principled and loyal veteran Mr. Lu is!
Now that it has come to this, it is nothing more than being disappointed and shocked by the character of his granddaughter-in-law.
What he said also meant that he believed that his granddaughter-in-law had good moral character.
At least, Qiao Qingqing would not let the Lu family do anything that would harm the country or damage national interests.
As long as he can be sure of this, Mr. Lu will support all decisions made by his granddaughter-in-law without hesitation!
After completing the task and registering the three people's rice fields, Qiao Qingqing received her next mission to harvest another rice field.
As long as it's not time to finish work, you have to continue working.
And everyone's work will be converted into corresponding work.
The reason why Qiao Qingqing didn't dare to register for work too early was also for the sake of others.
When she alone has raised the efficiency, the team leader will then use higher standards to demand everyone else. This is inevitable. After all, the pay that everyone can get every day is fixed, which is the so-called full pay.
It can't be that there are different levels of labor among full-time workers?
That would be really unfair to those who work most actively and efficiently.
"Sister Qingqing, I just heard someone praising Aunt Xiumei's team, saying that they are a group of women leading a male comrade, but they are as efficient as men... But in fact, our team is the most efficient~"
On the way to the mission location, Yao Xiaoman whispered to the two of them.
Qiao Qingqing whispered: "Sh ...
"Hehe, I'll just talk to you guys in private and won't tell anyone else." Yao Xiaoman was not a fool. If she told the truth rashly, first of all, it would increase the workload of her team, secondly, it would offend Aunt Xiumei, and finally, it would cause dissatisfaction among most of the villagers.
When they reached the field, Qiao Qingqing stretched and said casually, "How about you two help me cook?"
But Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang looked at each other.
Then they said in unison: "Sister Qingqing, you come and cook! It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's edible!"
Originally, Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang were eating at the educated youth camp with the other educated youth, but today they were "recruited" by Qiao Qingqing, so Zhao Yong and the others probably wouldn't cook for them.
What's more, they prefer Sister Qingqing's cooking to the tasteless meals cooked by the male educated youth!
At this time, both of them wisely chose to follow Qiao Qingqing.
Compared to harvesting rice, cooking is easy.
Since Qiao Qingqing had done 70% of the work by herself in the morning and also helped the Lu family, the two wanted to let her have a rest.
After their persuasion, Qiao Qingqing reluctantly agreed.
However, as soon as she turned around, Qiao Qingqing curled her lips and smiled softly.
Two silly girls——
Don't you know what playing hard to get means?
