Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Technology Failure
Zhang Quan has been a bit unlucky recently.
First, I was accidentally hit by some naughty kids splashing mud on me while walking on the road, and my new clothes were stained with black mud.
The next day, after finally getting a day off, I was drafted into the army by the county. I was busy from morning to night before I came back, and the date we had agreed on was ruined.
There was also Grandma Chen who lived in the security department and often asked him for help, and then glanced at him with a strange look.
Although Zhang Quan could feel that there was no malice in Grandma Chen's eyes, it was still awkward to be secretly stared at.
What's going on?
Zhang Quanru was completely confused.
Fortunately, these symptoms suddenly disappeared in less than a week, and everything returned to normal. Grandma Chen no longer asked him for help, but her attitude towards him was visibly much warmer than towards other people in the security department.
Zhang Quansi pondered the matter but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, so he simply attributed it to metaphysics. After all, people always have periods of extreme luck and periods of extreme unlucky.
For example, after that particularly unlucky week, his relationship with his girlfriend gradually got back on track. He felt that the mountains were sweet, the water was sweet, and the air was sweet. He thought he was a fool for having disdained love before.
What's more, he even got the recognition of Brother Xiao Xia.
He Junxia: ...
He Junxia (swearing): Fuck you!
He admitted that after his investigation of Zhang Quan, he no longer expressed any opinion on their relationship. He neither supported nor opposed Zhang Quan and He Junqiu's relationship, but that did not mean he approved of Zhang Quan.
We are all men, how could he not know the virtues of men?
When you love someone, you can be willing to die for them, but when you stop loving someone, you can be crueler than an animal.
Some men are one way when pursuing someone, another way when they are in love, and another way after they are married. They can even change their faces better than the inheritors of Sichuan Opera's unique skills.
Some men like to pretend to be decent people in front of outsiders and make themselves look like good guys, but behind their backs they take all their negative emotions out on their wives and children.
That is to say, He Junqiu and Zhang Quan are young, one is eighteen and the other is nineteen, they have just reached adulthood and are still in adolescence, so He Junxia did not get too involved with them to avoid counterproductive consequences.
If it was an "old" man in his twenties, not to mention out of sight, out of mind, it would be a blessing if He Junxia didn't eat him alive.
After all, from another perspective, it was like a man who had already left school and was in a relationship with a sophomore girl. Even if He Junqiu was the one pursuing her, it was hard not to suspect that he was a cunning man secretly seducing the young girl.
Although He Junxia had never witnessed such a situation personally, he had heard countless jaw-dropping stories during his internship at the hospital.
It really proves the saying that there is nothing others can't do, as long as you can think of it.
…
The 30-day extra-long annual leave passed in a flash, and He Junqiu got a job because he was an adult.
Initially, He Junxia planned to transfer He Junqiu to a chicken farm or a pig farm, but the work in the two farms did not have much benefit except that the work was easier and the benefits were better. Not only was the environment harsh, but the holidays were also much less than those in the farming group.
Moreover, the person in charge stipulates that new employees must start with the hardest and most tiring work, and can only be transferred to other positions after working for a period of time (at least 30 days).
After fully analyzing the pros and cons and asking for He Junqiu's opinion, He Junxia and his parents decided to send He Junqiu to Zeng Xiuping's farming team.
First of all, with Zeng Xiuping around, no one will bully He Junqiu.
Moreover, even if there is hard and tiring work, he and He Chengcai can go and help, unlike the farms which have epidemic prevention requirements and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
The winter snow melts and spring comes to the earth.
The seeds planted by the farm before the Chinese New Year only produced a pitifully small harvest. Fortunately, no one had high hopes, so they were not too sad, just a little regretful.
The focus now is spring plowing.
The crops planted this time are mainly sweet potatoes, corn and rice. The yield of the crops is related to whether they can have enough food to eat for half a year, and is related to the living conditions of the county. No one dares to fool around.
I get up early in the morning to clean up the weeds, and return home with a hoe under the moonlight.
This poem written by Tao Yuanming is the most appropriate description of the work of the farming team. The meat that everyone had worked so hard to gain during the Chinese New Year was quickly lost in just a few days.
He Junxia straightened his back and shrugged, and his stiff shoulders and waist suddenly made a crackling sound.
He wiped the sweat off his face with the sweat towel around his neck, but he couldn't deal with the sweat in his clothes. He could only endure the sticky feeling of his clothes soaked with sweat and sticking tightly to his skin.
He Junxia moved his head up and down, gazing into the distance. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young man in his group doing something he wanted to do but couldn't. He kindly reminded him, "Liu Shun, don't take off your clothes. It's still cold now. If the wind blows, you'll catch a cold easily. If you're really hot, just open your collar."
The young man sneezed very appropriately, quickly picked up his coat that had fallen on the ground and put it on, smiling embarrassedly.
He Junxia smiled back, bent down to speed up his work and continued to work hard, finally finishing the work before the sun reached its highest point.
The farming team's employees do not have a fixed time to leave work. Generally speaking, as long as they complete their assigned work in a thorough manner, they can leave at any time.
He Juanxia shouted to He Chengcai, "Dad, I'm done. I'm going to check on Xiaoqiu."
He Chengcai came over and checked his results. After confirming they were up to standard, he said, "Go ahead."
He Junxia didn't expect that he was not the only one who had the same idea. He squinted his eyes and looked at the young man working hard in the field and He Junqiu standing shyly beside him. He nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help grinding his teeth.
At least be more restrained!
At this point, anyone who is not blind can see that something is wrong with the two of them.
The village wasn't particularly lively, with conversations mostly focused on the family affairs of the older generation. Yet, these two were eager to join in the fun.
He Junxia strode forward and glared at the two of them fiercely, separating them like the Milky Way.
He said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Hey, Xiao Zhang, it's the master's duty to take care of his apprentice. You guys don't have to be so polite. Go and have a rest. I'll take care of the rest."
Zhang Quan raised his head blankly and wanted to refute but shut his mouth under the threat of He Junxia's eyes. He stopped what he was doing with a wronged look and walked away, looking back every few steps.
He Junxia: ...
It made him look like some heinous criminal.
Noticing the other people's furtive glances, He Junxia covered her forehead in pain, fearing that after lunch, the news that He Chengcai's daughter was dating a soldier from the security department would spread everywhere.
He Junqiu looked at He Junxia eagerly. He Junxia was as hard as iron and said coldly, "Stop looking and get to work."
He is not like Zhang Quan, who would let people just stand and rest.
He Junqiu searched his neck and started to work. He Junxia and Zeng Xiuping looked at each other, and the other gave him a smile without saying anything.
He Junxia really has a headache.
The two young people were in love with no regard for the lives of others, thinking they were keeping it secret, but they didn't know that their actions were even more stupid than covering their ears and stealing the bell.
On the third day after he discovered He Junqiu's relationship, Zeng Xiuping noticed something, and then He Chengcai also realized something was wrong - he saw the two of them holding hands in the street through the glass.
If He Junxia hadn't advised them to calm down and not make a fuss, saying that young people's relationships are unstable and they might break up at any time, and it would be embarrassing for both parties if a fuss was made, they should wait and see.
Otherwise, He Junqiu and Zhang Quan would have to meet their parents.
They were both lucky.
The future was uncertain. No one knew when the country would find a way to suppress the special magnetic field, or when students would be able to return to school. Since they were both adults, and at a time when they were yearning for love, Zeng Xiuping and He Chengcai agreed to observe secretly.
If it were when they were studying, Zeng Xiuping and He Chengcai would definitely break up the couple and not give Zhang Quan any chance to appear in He Junqiu's sight.
…
After finishing work in the morning, the four members of the He family came to the cafeteria to eat. He Junxia keenly noticed that many people were looking at He Junqiu implicitly.
And He Junqiu... He Junqiu was exchanging glances with Zhang Quan, and there were pink bubbles that could not be hidden in her two bright eyes.
He Junxia couldn't help grinding her teeth, but Zeng Xiuping was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked, the happier she became.
Zhang Quan is a soldier. He receives salary and allowances from both the security department and the army. He has no worries about food and drink. His lifestyle is controlled by the army. He dare not act recklessly like others. Even if he does, he can still seek support from the military leaders.
Moreover, Zhang Quan has a simple and honest personality and works on the Hejia Village Farm. After He Junqiu marries him, she can go home whenever she wants and she doesn't have to worry about getting along with her parents-in-law.
No matter how you look at it, Zhang Quan is a perfect candidate for son-in-law.
He Junxia had no idea that Zeng Xiuping had already thought about getting married, so she had no choice but to wave her hand and tell He Junqiu, who had just finished his meal, to leave quickly and not to show off their love in the cafeteria.
As the days passed, green replaced the snow and became the dominant color in the mountains and fields, and a light drizzle began to fall from the horizon.
The spring rain is coming.
