Chapter 115 115 Silent Efforts
"That's right." Zhao Xi said with a touch of pride, "I'm usually right about people. Xiao Xiao looks clever and is diligent and efficient. She's a good child."
"Tomorrow, when Gangzi comes to collect the eggs, let's bring a few more people and spread the word about this. Let's see who dares to object then."
"Okay, whatever you say." Yang Erfu chuckled. "Xiaoxiao, do a good job, we'll come see you again tomorrow."
Su Xiao was a little confused, but that didn't stop her from pretending to be obedient. "Yes, I will definitely work hard and do a good job. Secretary Zhao and Director Yang, please rest assured. You are also welcome to come and inspect and supervise my work at any time."
"Okay, okay, haha." Zhao Xi laughed and left.
After seeing the two off, Su Xiao looked at the dozens of baskets of eggs in the corner and took a deep breath.
Okay, I'll have to work overtime today.
Although she hadn't found out what had happened, she knew from Secretary Zhao and Director Yang's words that there would be a battle tomorrow, and if she won, she would be able to secure her position.
"Sister." Sweetie had slipped away when Secretary Zhao and Director Yang arrived, but returned after they left.
"Okay, Sweetie, let's go collect eggs."
Su Xiao brought over a basket, a checkered straw mat, and a rag, and strode confidently toward the chicken coop. The afternoon's two rounds were about to begin.
This time she was well-prepared and could arrange the eggs properly when collecting them, saving her the trouble of rearranging them again – perfect.
After finishing two rounds of tidying up, Su Xiao checked the time, did some quick organization, and prepared to go back to cook dinner first. She planned to come back and tidy up again after dinner.
When we returned to the youth compound, those who had gone to work had not yet returned.
Su Xiao immediately rinsed the rice. These were several big men with large appetites. If they ate like this, the rice in the cupboard would probably be empty in a few days. Su Xiao also washed a few large sweet potatoes and cooked them together with the rice.
When the rice was almost cooked, I put a steamer rack in the pot and steamed a small bowl of braised meat on it.
The educated youth in the educated youth compound also had their own plots of land, but unfortunately they arrived late. Although Lu Xiao told them to pick whatever they wanted, they were all too embarrassed to do so.
Su Xiao took a basket, put a bag of brown sugar in it from her spatial storage, and then walked into the village.
In the courtyard, Aunt Wu was washing vegetables. Su Xiao immediately went up to greet her, "Auntie, are you preparing dinner?"
Hearing the voices, Aunt Wu looked up and saw that it was a new educated youth from the neighboring educated youth compound. She immediately greeted him with a smile, "Oh my, what a rare guest! Come in and sit down, I'll make you some sugar water."
Su Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and went straight in, stopping Aunt Wu and saying, "No need for the sweet soup. Auntie, I just arrived here and I don't have any vegetables at home, so I'd like to exchange some with you."
"Vegetables, yes, just a little bit of vegetables, no need to exchange them, come in, pick whatever you want to eat." Aunt Wu was very enthusiastic and spoke very kindly.
"That won't do. The harvest from this field is the result of your hard work, sacrificing your rest time. If I were to take it for free, wouldn't I have any shame?" Su Xiao smiled and took out some brown sugar from the basket, stuffing it into Aunt Wu's hand. "I don't have anything good here. Auntie, just exchange it for some fresh vegetables."
"Oh my, this is good stuff." Aunt Wu smiled and said readily, "Alright, since you're so sincere, I won't stand on ceremony and accept it. Give me the basket, and I'll pick the freshest ones for you."
Okay.
