When Han Qiushi returned and saw the ice, his eyes widened in surprise.
Making ice with saltpeter is no secret, and Lin Xiaoxiao has nothing to hide. People used it to make ice in ancient times, but it seems that very few people know about it.
Seeing that no one seemed to know, Lin Xiaoxiao wondered if she could share an ice-making recipe and sell it.
Han Qiushi didn't ask how Lin Xiaoxiao knew these things. She had worked so hard to create them, and he was the beneficiary. He should just enjoy it. Everyone has a few secrets, after all.
Actually, he had long suspected that Lin Xiaoxiao had a secret. He had this thought when she saved him. He had a gunshot wound. What kind of miraculous medicine could heal him so quickly?
But after thinking about it, he realized that when he went up the mountain with Lin Xiaoxiao, he always had exceptionally good luck, and he guessed that many of the things he got were due to Lin Xiaoxiao's good fortune.
It's probably because God couldn't bear to see Lin Xiaoxiao suffer so much since she was a child, so He's secretly making up for it in other ways.
Not hearing the expected questions, Lin Xiaoxiao ate with great relish.
The two of them ate the dishes that Lin Xiaoxiao had prepared beforehand, along with chilled mung bean soup, and it was incredibly comforting.
After lunch, Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi took a nap. Lin Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to enter her space and bring out the massage chair on the third floor that hadn't been used for a long time.
She slept straight through her afternoon nap until the sounds of work started in the afternoon.
She used to think massage chairs were useless, but now it seems they do have some effect. She moved her arms and kicked her calves, and at least her body didn't feel so sore anymore.
But I have to say, at such a young age, her body has recovered very well in all aspects. She is not only resilient and elastic, but when she gets up, she feels that she will definitely not feel so bad in the afternoon.
However, this situation was taken for granted. After only half of the work was completed in the afternoon, I started to feel listless again.
This body is still a minor, so even with such high intensity, it can't withstand the same level of strain as its original body.
Lin Xiaoxiao worked in the cornfield for several days, while the other female educated youth went to work in the wheatfield.
Seeing this vast wheat field, the men brandished their knives, and with a few swift strokes, the experienced workers felled a large number of wheat. The women followed behind, bending over to bundle the wheat. Compared to the educated youth, the women were much faster and more efficient.
This is another back-damaging job.
When Lin Xiaoxiao finished work, she felt like her body was about to stiffen, while the people next to her seemed to be in good spirits and even had time to gossip.
"Did you know? A male educated youth here injured himself while harvesting wheat."
"Huh? How come I didn't know about this?"
There were many wheat fields, and the educated youth were distributed in different areas. Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't know about this.
"This morning, the men were supposed to be harvesting wheat, right? But somehow, Ying Yu accidentally swung the knife at his own leg, and that's when he started screaming."
"In that instant, everyone around him assumed that he had injured himself while trying to meet deadlines. Many people were concerned and asked about him, and some even offered to take him to a barefoot doctor. Everyone had gone to great lengths for him, but the man just kept yelling and screaming."
"When things are this busy, who has time to deal with him? They couldn't handle it, so in the end they had to ask Captain Wang for help. Guess what happened next?"
"What exactly happened next?" Wang Xue asked, her tone full of disdain.
"The screams and shouts attracted a lot of people. Everyone wondered what had happened. Captain Wang led a lot of people over, and when they lifted up his trouser leg, they saw..."
Seeing the curious and anxious looks on the faces of the people around her, Wang Xue scoffed dismissively, "In the end, this thing didn't even break a scratch!"
Uh... so you wanted to slack off.
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"No."
It's one thing to cheat and slack off normally, but if you pull such tricks during the autumn harvest, you'll lose work points, and no one can stop you. It's so important to have such thoughts at such a crucial time.
"You didn't see Captain Wang's expression at the time. He looked terrible and left without saying a word."
"Then, all of the male educated youth's work points for the day were deducted."
Everyone around nodded in agreement.
During the autumn harvest, everyone is working hard, and you actually resort to such petty tricks on such an important day. If we don't make an example of you, who will be made an example of?
Serves him right! He had ulterior motives and wasted so much of everyone's time and concern, so he deserves to be taught a lesson.
"And then what? What did the people who worked with him say?"
"Everyone around him, whether male or female, they all... Speaking of which, I really think, a grown man, is even worse than a woman. He's already been discovered, and he's still acting!"
"I've discovered that some men are even more shameless than women."
"When everyone was talking about him, he even pretended to argue back, saying he was dizzy, that he had just been frightened and his mind wasn't clear, and that he didn't mean it."
"He said he would work hard from now on, and said a lot of high-sounding words, leaving the people next to him stunned."
"Holy crap!!"
"If this man were to put on an act, women would have no chance at all."
"When he left, the villagers around him were busy with their work and hadn't yet reacted to what he had said. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens when everyone finally realizes what's going on."
This kind of acting might work well to fool young girls, but it's not enough to fool an old fox who's been around for decades.
People just listened to it as entertainment, because no matter the era or place, there are always some awful people. After all, wherever there are people, there are dirty things.
When they reached the fork in the road, Lin Xiaoxiao parted ways with them and went back alone.
Evening temperatures were still quite high. The first thing Lin Xiaoxiao did upon entering the house was to drink some cool mung bean water before sitting down in the courtyard to rest.
"This autumn harvest is really tiring."
The intensity of farm work is comparable to that of scavenging for supplies in the apocalypse.
Back then, my physical functions were top-notch. Now, this body is only eighteen years old. Before, I was a poor little thing who couldn't even get enough to eat. Even though I've gradually improved my health, my explosiveness and endurance are still far behind.
Just take it easy, things will get better after this period.
