“Huff…Huff…Huff…Huff…Huff…”
Chu Yaoyao was lying in the scorching sun in the barren land without any shelter, sweat beads the size of beans appeared on her face and she was gasping for breath.
The beautiful clothes she had specially put on were now as wrinkled as pickled mustard greens, with patches of dirt and dust all over them. What was even more terrible was her mental state.
I can’t hold on any longer… I can’t hold on any longer…
She really couldn't hold on any longer...
Chu Yaoyao felt so dizzy that her vision turned white. She didn't care about the eyes of the people around her and just wanted to lie on the ground and rest completely.
"Mom, I can't hold on any longer. I need to rest! I must rest!"
Chu Yaoyao had just laid down and made a tendon movement when a loud voice came from the side.
"Hey hey hey... you... what are you doing? Why aren't you moving? Hurry up and continue working. Look at your piece of land. Others have finished it, but you two haven't finished it yet?"
This familiar voice belonged to none other than Chen Fengying.
Chen Fengying has an additional identity today. She is no longer an ordinary sister-in-law in a large compound, but also the team leader of their small commune.
The sisters-in-law divided the work among themselves, and the amount of farm work each person had to complete within the specified time was all determined by Chen Fengying, who also supervised her.
Chen Fengying did not deliberately make things difficult for Chu Yaoyao. She was assigned the same labor tasks as the other sisters-in-law in the compound. However, she was more strict in supervising Chu Yaoyao. Whenever she sat down to rest, put down her hoe, or even stood still, Chen Fengying would remind her.
"Chen... Chen... Sister Chen, I really can't do it anymore. Please let me rest for a while, just rest for a while, please..."
Chu Yaoyao was so tired that her usual arrogance disappeared and she even begged Chen Fengying.
How could Chen Fengying sympathize with Chu Yaoyao? "Chu Yaoyao, everyone has the same amount of work to do. Why can others finish it but you can't? You should reflect on this! The food in our compound doesn't support idle people. If you can't finish it now, just stay here at night until you finish it."
Chu Yaoyao hadn't even caught her breath when she heard Chen Fengying's words and almost fainted.
Someone on the side shouted to Chen Fengying.
"Sister Chen, stop talking nonsense with her. We have finished our work and are here to eat. It's time to rest and eat."
Have a meal? !
Chu Yaoyao hadn't eaten a full breakfast, and had been working under the scorching sun all day, so her stomach was already growling with hunger. When she heard about the time for food, she immediately perked up and walked towards Chen Fengying.
"Eat, I want to eat too. I'll do it after I finish eating."
Chen Fengying looked back at her and said, "Did you bring a lunch box?"
"Box lunch. What box lunch? Aren't we all eating together?" Chu Yaoyao subconsciously thought that eating meant eating from a big pot.
Chen Fengying said, "Each of us brought a lunch box from home and ate our own food instead of eating together."
After saying that, Chen Fengying no longer looked at Chu Yaoyao, and walked over to have lunch with the other sisters-in-law under the shade of the trees, enjoying the cool air.
Chu Yaoyao stood there in a daze for a moment.
She saw from afar that each sister-in-law took out the lunch boxes they brought with them. Although they were just simple steamed buns, steamed corn bread, and some pickled vegetables, but when they were starving, even the steamed corn bread tasted delicious.
Chu Yaoyao could only swallow her saliva frantically.
Her eyes turned red, and she looked back at Li A-mei, almost crying, "Mom..."
Li A-mei had heard their conversation, and quickly took out half a steamed bun from her pocket and stuffed it into Chu Yaoyao's mouth, "Yaoyao, mom has steamed buns here, and more steamed buns, if you are hungry, eat them."
Fortunately, Chen Fengying didn't really let them starve in the end. She gave them two steamed buns, one for each of them.
But after eating, you have to continue working. Don’t even think about going back to the compound until you finish your work.
There are rocks in the wasteland in the southwest, and they will sow seeds later, so what they are doing now is turning the soil. The hard land needs to be lifted up with a hoe, and then the soil clods need to be broken up. Then the stones in the soil need to be picked out, put in a backpack, and carried outside.
Li A'mei was using a hoe to dig the land. Although she was old, she still had some strength.
Chu Yaoyao squatted on the ground, picked up stones, and carried them out one by one.
This was the longest and most painful day in her life.
"Damn that little bitch! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have to do farm work here!"
She was angry at Chu Yue in her heart, thinking that Chu Yue had harmed her.
But she had no idea that on the days when she didn't have to work, it was the original owner who cooked in the summer and washed clothes in the winter. At night, she had no bed to sleep in and was forced to sleep in the kitchen.
Every day like that is just like Chu Yaoyao's today.
…
“A-choo!”
While eating, Chu Yue suddenly sneezed.
The waiter at the side reacted faster than Ye Zhaodi and Fang Xiuli, and asked politely and caringly, "Miss, is our fan too strong? Can you turn it down a bit?"
In the private room of the high-end restaurant, two electric fans are specially prepared to blow air back and forth to allow air convection.
Chu Yue shook her head and said, "No, the wind is not strong."
She knew in her heart that the sneezing was not caused by the fan, but by someone scolding her.
After the waiter heard that Chu Yue did not need to adjust the fan, he brought a cup of warm water. If she felt it was too cold, she could drink a cup of warm water to feel more comfortable.
These are not requests from the guests, but the attentive service from the waiters.
Ye Zhaodi watched from the side, surprised and silently took note of it in her heart. She seemed to understand why this restaurant could sell an ordinary dish at such a high price.
Lu Yuanbao was full and drank too much, so he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Chu Yue wants to go with him.
Lu Yuanbao blushed and said, "Mom, I'm a big kid now. I can go by myself."
"Okay, our Yuanbao is a big kid, you go by yourself. If you have any questions, go find the waiter uncle just now."
"good."
Lu Yuanbao got down from the chair, walked out of the box and went to the bathroom.
As soon as he entered, Lu Yuanbao saw a small handsome figure standing in front of the sink, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and beautiful black leather shoes with white socks.
He stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand to turn on the faucet.
It’s a pity that he was a little short and the faucet was too high, so his fingertips could only barely touch it.
Just as he was exerting all his strength, a familiar voice came from the side.
"God-given!"
Pei Tianci turned around and saw Lu Yuanbao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Brother Yuanbao!"
He forgot to wash his hands and rushed towards Lu Yuanbao happily. Because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, he was so excited that he wanted to hug Lu Yuanbao.
But the outstretched arms suddenly stopped.
Pei Tianci suddenly blushed and said, "Brother Yuanbao, I...I haven't washed my hands yet."
You can’t hug anyone without washing your hands.
