In the afternoon, Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling went to the old place to take a nap as usual, and then continued to cut grass for the pigs. There was nothing they could do, because their work was easy!
The two of them worked very hard, and they had already cut two large backpacks full of pig grass at just four o'clock. Lu Wensheng was thinking about tonight's dishes when he heard Shen Lingling's voice from behind:
"Shengsheng, don't you think we are a little too comfortable?"
Shen Lingling looked at other educated youth who went out early and came back late every day, so tired that they wanted to lie down on the ground. Then she thought about herself and felt a little guilty...
She actually competed with the kids for work! In the morning, she and Xiaodouzi cut grass for pigs, but she couldn't cut as fast as Xiaodouzi and the others...
Lu Wensheng felt that something was wrong with Shen Lingling, so he stopped and asked:
"Are you afraid of losing face? Well, then go to work with Han Zhiqing and the others."
Shen Lingling looked at her with wide eyes. Didn’t her little sister want her anymore?
Lu Wensheng found the look on her face a little funny: Little guy, can't I cure you?
"Let's go to the field and find Han Zhiqing and the others to get the sweet potato vines."
Shen Lingling nodded: "Okay. I just happened to be passing by Uncle Ge's house and bought a watermelon to take back."
"Yeah, that's fine. But aren't all the people in the Ping An Brigade surnamed Li? Why did another Uncle Ge appear?"
People nowadays are xenophobic, especially those who have one surname in each village. If you think about it seriously, half of the people in the village are relatives in some way or another. Except for marrying a wife, they generally do not marry someone with a different surname from their mother.
Shen Lingling explained her doubts at the right time: "I also heard from Erzhuzi that Uncle Ge is a traveling doctor. He came here to escape famine a few years ago. There happened to be no doctor in the village, so the village chief decided to keep him.
He lives at the back of the village, not far from our educated youth site. The village chief also allocated him a piece of land to grow medicinal herbs and other things. But now it is empty, so Uncle Ge planted some watermelons to avoid wasting the land. "
Lu Wensheng suddenly realized: "Oh, that's why! They are not completely exclusive. People with skills are still welcome." This shows the importance of learning a skill...
Lu Wensheng's little abacus started clicking in his mind again.
The two of them quickly went to hand in the pig feed in exchange for three work points for today. Lu Wensheng looked at Li Youliang writing down the work points stroke by stroke in the notebook and sighed: Han Muchen and Lu Hao could earn 8 work points a day, while she was still happily earning her little bit every day.
She pretended to be friendly and chatted with Li Youliang for a while. After looking around the notebook for a few times, she found that Li Erzhu had ten work points! Is driving a tractor so profitable? It seems that she can drive one...
Let's wait for the opportunity. Three work points a day really doesn't seem like a big deal.
After saying hello to Li Youliang, he led Shen Lingling to the sweet potato field. The sun was still high in the sky and there was no shade in the field. The team members were bending over and turning over the sweet potato vines, and they cut off the useless ones to feed the pigs.
Shen Lingling looked at everyone sweating profusely and immediately gave up the idea in her mind. She wanted to slap herself hard. Shengsheng had fought hard for her to get an easy job, but she actually thought it was shameful! What was she thinking...
Lu Wensheng knew what she was thinking from her expression and teased her, "Baby, do you still feel ashamed?"
Shen Lingling shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, it's not shameful at all, cutting grass for pigs is good."
"That's right! Let's send a watermelon to the captain tonight. What if he can't stand us being so happy and asks us to work in the fields?"
It was easy for her to say that she had a silk banner as a "hostage" in the brigade headquarters, but Lingling couldn't do that. If anyone was unhappy and reported it to the brigade leader, she would have to go to the ground obediently. It was better to give some gifts. He reminded again:
"Pretend to be weak for a while, so that people will think that you are only good enough to cut grass for pigs. After all, cutting grass for pigs is free and you can be lazy. The only disadvantage is that you will get fewer work points."
Shen Lingling nodded vigorously: "Shengsheng is right, I have to act a little weak. It's okay if I have few work points. My dad gave me 500 yuan when I came here."
Lu Wensheng was speechless. "How can you tell this to outsiders?"
Shen Lingling felt wronged: "Shengsheng is not an outsider..."
Lu Wensheng: Okay! She was speechless.
Shen Lingling knew that although she was not smart, she would not show her family's wealth to others. She comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone except you."
Lu Wensheng said weakly: "It's better if I don't say it..." Because she is jealous, even though she is also a small rich woman now hehe...
The two of them were walking and chatting in the field, looking for someone. Unexpectedly, they were an eyesore to others. When Lu Wensheng turned his head, he saw the woman named Chunhua telling the women nearby that they were lazy and that no man would dare to marry them in the future.
Lu Wensheng stopped looking for anyone and dragged Shen Lingling straight towards the group of people, whispering:
"Pretend to have heat stroke first, and I'll take you to fight."
Shen Lingling nodded, and in the blink of an eye she looked like she was about to fall down, with most of her body leaning on Lu Wensheng.
Lu Wensheng: Big sister, I asked you to pretend to have heatstroke, but I didn’t ask you to really have it.
Looking at Shen Lingling's flushed face now, anyone who sees her would think that she has suffered a great punishment. Who would have thought that her little sister has the potential to be a white lotus!
"What are you talking about? Speak louder so we can discuss it together." Lu Wensheng crossed his arms and looked at the group of old women in front of him with a half-smile, a bunch of troublemakers.
The aunts glared back at her, not wanting to be outdone. Chunhua was jealous of Lu Wensheng's good looks. They all worked in the fields, so why was she so glamorous while they were so ugly?
