Chapter 27 Going to the Farm to Pick Tea Leaves
"Jian Zhiqing cried and begged me, Gangzi, to take her back, but my brother Gangzi actually charged her only ten cents, hahahaha..."
"Oh my God! How dare your brother speak like that?" Wen Lin was extremely surprised.
"My brother Gangzi has been a very goal-oriented person since he was young. He doesn't worry about the vague future, but only strives for a clear present."
"Your brother Gangzi is a real man. He wanted to pursue Jian Yueshi, but when he saw that she was not interested in him, he turned hostile and ruthless!"
"It's not that I'm heartless. I'm tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Although I took a dime from Jian Zhiqing, I still brought her back in the end."
Zhong Qingfeng walked very quickly with a bucket of water in one hand. When he saw that Wen Lin didn't catch up with him, he simply didn't wait for her.
Anyway, he knew the layout of the cave, so he put the water directly next to the stove and rode away on his bike.
Wen Lin wanted to go and see Jian Yueshi's joke, but as soon as she reached the door of their cave, she heard Xia Tiantian's angry voice.
"Shishi, you guys had a delicious meal at the state-owned restaurant, but you only brought me a fried dough stick?"
"What are you talking about? That peasant is really a piece of shit. He asked me to pay for my meal and even asked me for a dime for the ride back home."
"You can buy two fried dough sticks for ten cents. That peasant is really too much! Shishi, ignore him tomorrow!"
When Xia Tiantian heard that she had to pay for the meal herself, she didn't dare to blame Jian Yueshi. She was secretly glad that she didn't go with them.
"Tiantian, go boil some hot water for me to take a bath. I'm so tired from sitting in the car these days." Jian Yueshi ordered tiredly.
Wen Lin laughed in her heart. Jian Yueshi was such a face-conscious person that she would never tell her little follower that it wasn't that she didn't want to pay attention to others, but that others didn't want to pay attention to her!
She returned to her cave excitedly, but seeing that Ye Siran was already asleep, she could only suppress her excitement and climbed gently onto the kang.
But she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
In fact, Ye Siran was not asleep either. After Wen Lin turned off the lights, she quietly pulled up the quilt and went into the space to sleep on the comfortable big bed.
She slept until dawn.
In the villa's large kitchen, the ingredients and clay pots used to cook medicinal meals in the previous life are still there, but the electricity and natural gas are no longer usable.
Fortunately, she accidentally prepared a lot of honeycomb coal in the space, which now comes convenient for her.
She prepared a medicinal meal for herself to regulate her body, and also made a bowl of white porridge for Wen Lin.
When everything was ready, she went to practice, and then used her mind to feed the pigs, chickens, and weed the fields.
Then take a comfortable bath in the spiritual spring water for a while. The upgraded spiritual spring water has the effect of cleansing the marrow and strengthening the bones.
Eating the cake he made himself and drinking the medicinal food made with spiritual spring water, Ye Siran felt full of energy.
Wen Lin fell asleep very late last night and slept soundly in the morning. After breakfast, Ye Siran put the white porridge into a bowl and fried an egg.
She then walked over to the big kang and woke Wen Lin up, "Wen Lin, get up and have breakfast. We will be going to work soon."
Wen Lin closed her eyes and asked half asleep: "What a nice smell! Ranran, why are you up so early?"
"I'm used to going to bed early and getting up early. You should go wash up and have breakfast quickly. I've already finished." Ye Siran said softly.
Wen Lin was in such a hurry that she didn't notice that the pot and stove were cold. She drank white porridge and ate delicious fried eggs, her face full of happiness.
After the two men had packed up and locked the door, they saw the old educated youth in other caves also rushing out.
"Good morning, Ye Zhiqing, Wen Zhiqing." The educated youth team leader Yu Bingkun stopped and took the initiative to greet them.
"Good morning, Captain Yu, and good morning, fellow educated youth." Wen Lin greeted everyone happily.
"There are still two new arrivals yesterday who haven't gotten up yet. That's really outrageous. An Zhiqing, go and call them." Yu Bingkun instructed An Tao who was beside him.
An Tao is from Qing City, and he is an enthusiastic young man who regrets sharing his food with everyone.
When they arrived at the threshing ground, many villagers had already gathered there, and a loud voice came from the radio on the big tree.
"Comrades, please listen carefully. The busy season for planting rice and sowing has passed, but the double harvest season has not yet arrived.
There are three choices today. One is to continue weeding in the fields. The other is to repair the river channel to ensure smooth irrigation of the rice fields during the double harvest season.
Repairing the river channel is much harder work than weeding, which earns ten work points a day. Weeding is relatively easier, earning six work points a day.
The last one is to go to the May Day Farm outside the village to pick tea leaves. Picking tea leaves is the easiest job but the work points are calculated based on how much tea leaves each person picks. ”
Most of the men chose to repair the river, almost all the women chose to weed, and no one chose to pick tea leaves.
Because you can't slack off when picking tea leaves, and all the farm managers are fierce.
The villagers registered with the team leaders of each production team, while the educated youth were registered by the educated youth team leader Yu Bingkun.
"Captain Yu, my name is Ye Siran, I'm going to pick tea leaves." Ye Siran was the first to choose to go to the farm to pick tea leaves.
"Ye Zhiqing, picking tea leaves is not easy. It depends on your personal strength. Weeding... will earn you higher work points."
Yu Bingkun wanted to tell Ye Siran that they could take their time while weeding together, and picking tea leaves would be all up to him, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Captain Yu, I've decided to go pick tea leaves. I'm new here and I know nothing about farm work. I can't hold you back."
Ye Siran said righteously that her goal of coming here was to sneak into the farm and find her grandparents.
She thought she would have to find an excuse, but she didn't expect to be able to get in on the first day. She would definitely not hesitate.
Even though she had lived for forty-eight years and was usually calm and composed, her emotions were somewhat visible at this moment.
When she knew that Yu Bingkun remembered her name, a genuine smile appeared on her face.
An Tao saw that when she smiled, her eyes were like a crescent moon and she had two dimples on her face, which made her look particularly beautiful.
He had looked into her eyes last night and remembered clearly the heaviness and sorrow in her eyes.
Those eyes were dim as if covered by a layer of film, unable to reflect anything, making him dare not look again.
Looking at her bright smile at this moment, An Tao's mind was heated, "Captain Yu, please remember that An Tao will also go to pick tea leaves."
"Captain Yu, my name is Wen Lin. I'm going to pick tea leaves too." Wen Lin only trusted Ye Siran.
Jian Yueshi was still wearing a puff-sleeved dress today. She followed An Tao and only slowly adjusted her clothes after seeing that everyone had made their choices.
She smoothed her hair again, feeling that she was now very decent, and walked in front of Yu Bingkun with a twisted waist.
In what she thought was the most charming voice, she pinched her throat and said, "Captain Yu, can I choose not to go to work?"
Yu Bingkun raised his eyes and glanced at Jian Yueshi, but was not stunned by her beauty. After all, Ye Siran was more beautiful than her, but not as artificial as her.
He said coldly: "Now is the slack season. You can choose not to work and your work points will not be deducted. If it is the busy season, your work points will be deducted."
"Deduct work points? We haven't even received the work points yet, what can be deducted?" Xia Tiantian asked loudly.
She received the hint from Jian Yueshi's eyes that as long as Jian Yueshi didn't want to talk, she would be Jian Yueshi's substitute.
