When Tang Lijuan returned to her work, someone asked her, "Isn't Xiao Qin, the educated youth, going to work?"
"Ningning is on vacation these days." Tang Lijuan knew about the fire in the pharmaceutical factory laboratory, but she didn't want to tell others in the village.
These gossips will definitely spread all sorts of nonsense, so Ningning won’t be bothered.
"Tang Lijuan, isn't it said that Lu Cheng's wife is amazing? She even gave you a car as a reward, but why didn't she arrange a job for you?
Look at your eldest sister-in-law, she's now an official's wife, your younger sister-in-law is driving around in a car, and you're still digging in the fields. Aren't you jealous?"
The person who was speaking was called Tang Hong, who was from the same village as Tang Lijuan. She had always been willing to compete with Tang Lijuan in everything since she was a child.
After Tang Lijuan married Lu Chang, she also married Accountant Wang's nephew.
But the Wang family's life was not as good as the Lu family's, and Tang Hong became more and more jealous of Tang Lijuan.
With Accountant Wang around, her family could at least be taken care of and have some easier work done.
Who knew that Accountant Wang would go too far and end up in jail, and his family was also implicated so that they couldn't even hold their heads up in the village.
This morning I saw Lu Chang, who works at the county machinery factory, coming back with a harvester. He looked so proud that I couldn't contain my jealousy.
Hearing these sarcastic and provocative words, Tang Lijuan snorted and put her hands on her hips, "Why should I be jealous? What do I have to be jealous of?
My eldest uncle risked his life to make my sister-in-law a government official’s wife.
Ningning can drive a car around because she has her own ability. Why should others arrange a job for me?
What's wrong with me digging the soil? I can support myself by digging the soil. I don't need to ask for anything from anyone and I don't need to borrow money from anyone.
Besides, my family in Luchang is not bad either. They can even make machines now. I can go to the city to enjoy life in the future.
But you, you have been comparing yourself with me since you were a child. Why don’t you compare yourself with me now to see which man is more promising?
I'm telling you, stop messing around and trying to sow discord between us sisters-in-law. It's okay if you make me angry, but if you make my Ningning angry, I'll beat you to death!"
Tang Lijuan knew very well how much her family had been taken care of by Lao Wu and his wife, so she didn't take Tang Hong's instigation to heart at all.
Still not satisfied after scolding her, Tang Lijuan thought for a moment and warned, "My Ningning is always good and always right. If anyone dares to gossip in front of me in the future, I'll pull out her tongue, humph!"
Qin An Ning didn't know that Tang Lijuan had said harsh words to protect her, so she went to the educated youth to find Meng Yu and Wu Yanli and asked them to come over to drink mung bean soup.
"Great! I'm hot and thirsty."
Wu Yanli was not polite at all. She pulled over a bundle of wheat, laid it down, sat on it, gulped down one cup, and poured another cup.
After finishing the drink, he remembered to ask Qin An Ning, "When did you come back?"
"I came back yesterday." Qin An Ning answered while pouring another cup for Meng Yu.
Seeing that their progress was obviously slower than others, he asked, "How much do you two get? Can you finish it?"
"Yes, because we also have to take care of the medicinal fields, our tasks are less than others."
Apart from Meng Yu and Wu Yanli, Qin An Ning's relationship with the people at the educated youth point was just a favor to them. Later, because they saved Miao Aihua and Liu Yanyan, the two of them became closer to Qin An Ning.
So after the two of them finished drinking the mung bean soup, Qin Anning called Miao Aihua and Liu Yanyan to drink some too.
They still had work to do, so Qin An Ning didn't stay for too long. After they finished drinking, she took the thermos and went north to see the machine that Lu Chang had brought back.
On the way, they passed a piece of land where sent-down personnel were working. In addition to her grandparents, there were two people she didn't know. They should be the professor and the old revolutionary her grandpa mentioned.
Although there were only four of them here, there were other villagers not far away, so Qin An Ning didn't dare to openly deliver mung bean soup to them.
But she had prepared it well and had packed it in a separate glass bottle before coming.
When passing by that piece of land, Qin An Ning pretended that his shoes had fallen off, squatted down to pick up his shoes, and after half a minute, he stood up and left. Others saw it but couldn't say anything.
But where she squatted, there were four glass bottles filled with cold mung bean soup.
Grandma and grandpa waited until Qin An Ning had walked dozens of meters away before taking the food and giving it to the other two when no one was paying attention.
"Drink it quickly to cool down."
The two men did not dare to be careless. They squatted down and took advantage of the height of the wheat to quickly drink the mung bean soup.
The four of them finished drinking and hid the glass bottle before they felt completely relieved.
The professor sighed, "Old Cheng, you have raised your granddaughter well. She is a good child." He tried every possible way to send things to the two of them.
Unlike him, he taught and educated people, but he couldn't teach his own children and students well.
"That's right, my granddaughter is both talented and beautiful, and has excellent character."
When it comes to praising his granddaughter, grandpa has never been humble.
When Qin Anning walked to the wheat field in the north, he heard the sound of a diesel engine from some distance away.
When I got closer, I saw two people pushing a small machine in the wheat field. Wherever the machine passed, the wheat fell neatly to the left.
Although manual baling is still required, it can be seen that the machine is much more efficient than pure manual harvesting.
Lu Chang and another person wearing work clothes from the machinery factory were writing something in their notebooks from time to time.
Qin An Ning stood there and watched for a while before leaving. Apart from noting the efficiency, she didn't understand anything else. She might as well go back and rest for a while and make lunch.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in the fields and there were not many people in the village, Qin An Ning first went to the house where his grandparents lived and put two lunch boxes there.
A box of fried pork with chili peppers, a box of stewed chicken with potatoes, and he took their rice bowls and left enough rice for the two of them.
