Chapter 323 College Students Go to the Fields

The next day, after the wake-up whistle sounded, Lu Xiaolan also got up, changed into patched old clothes, and went out.

Li Yue'e was squatting in the corridor brushing her teeth. Seeing Lu Xiaolan coming out, she said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? What are you doing so early?" "

Mom, I'll go to work with you later." Lu Xiaolan scooped water and squatted next to Li Yue'e to brush her teeth.

Li Yue'e only then realized that she was wearing clothes for working in the fields, and said, "You are not needed. It's a rare trip home, so take a good rest."

"You elders are all working in the fields, how can I rest."

"I'm not asking you to really rest, just help cook at home. Now we are harvesting rice, it's very tiring, and I can't even straighten my waist after harvesting all day. You are a college student, you can't do it." Li Yue'e said.

Lu Xiaolan laughed, "Mom, it's not like I haven't done this before. You, an old lady in your 50s, can do it, but a young person in my 20s can't do it?"

"Besides, what's wrong with being a college student? Am I richer than others? Why can't I do the job? I'm just luckier. I have a pair of good brothers and sisters-in-law more than others." "Besides, if you go

to college, you have to serve the motherland. If I think I'm great just because I got into college, and I'm not filial to my own parents, then there's no point in going to college. I can't even pass the test of being a human being."

Lu Boying came out of the room and nodded with satisfaction after hearing what Lu Xiaolan said.

He was also a little worried that his child would be a little arrogant after getting into college, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

This child was not taught in vain.

Lu Qing'an was in high spirits last night and drank two extra cups, so he got up a little late. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Lu Boming nodding with satisfaction.

He also heard some of Lu Xiaolan's words, and seeing that Li Yue'e wanted to say something, he said, "The child is so filial, so let her go. Let her help you a little, and you can relax a little."

Li Yue'e didn't say anything else. Since they wouldn't get so many work points later, the mother and daughter should finish their work early and come back to rest early.

After cleaning up, the mother and daughter went to the kitchen and each took two steamed buns, and filled the kettle with water. When they went out, they ran into Lu Guihua who was about to go over, and the three of them went to the brigade headquarters together.

Lu Guihua has changed a lot in recent years, and she has become more silent and less talkative.

Along the way, they met many people. They greeted Lu Xiaolan warmly and praised Li Yue'e for being lucky to have a good daughter.

When they arrived at the brigade headquarters and everyone was gathered, Lu Baoguo said a few simple words and then assigned today's tasks.

Li Yue'e and the team leader received a task of ten work points. The mother and daughter worked together and estimated that they would be able to finish it by mid-afternoon. She told the old family today that if there was any meat, she would buy some and make some delicious food for Xiaolan.

Lu Xiaolan's food relationship is no longer in Lujia Village, so even if she goes to work, her work points will not be recorded. So Li Yue'e received a little more and recorded it in her name.

After Lu Xiaolan went to get the sickle, she went to the land allocated to them with Li Yue'e. After

all, Lu Xiaolan hadn't done farm work for a long time. At first, she was not used to it and her speed was a bit slow. After mowing for more than half an hour, she gradually got the hang of it. The aunts who were mowing the same field saw from afar that Lu Xiaolan was mowing well. When drinking water, they gathered together and whispered.

"Lu Xiaolan is a good girl. She has been admitted to university and helps me work in the fields."

"Indeed, the children of the branch secretary who has a family to support are all promising." Lu Xiaolan, who was originally divorced, has now become a college student.

"That's right. A senior military officer, two college students, except Lu Guihua and Li Yue'e, all of them have salaries. No worker family in the city is as well off as his family." "

The old branch secretary is so thoughtful, and the kids will naturally benefit. I heard that the three people who were rehabilitated from the cowshed before were high-ranking officials. The old branch secretary helped them, but they didn't think about repaying him after returning to Beijing."

In the past two years, during the Chinese New Year, the number of packages Lu Boying received increased from one to four. This has spread throughout the Lujia Village Brigade.

"I heard from my husband that the old branch secretary's subsidy has increased to this amount." An auntie lowered her voice and held up three fingers.

Someone gasped and asked, "Thirty yuan?"

The man nodded. This was discovered by her husband by accident. It was said that the increase started this year.

What does thirty yuan mean in the countryside? It's enough to support a family.

"It's really incomparable. If I had known that those people would be rehabilitated, I would have secretly sent them some food." Someone sighed, "I don't ask them to repay me, I just want them to take care of the children."

An auntie teased, "Then you have to have vision, there are still two people in the cowshed, otherwise you can also send food to them tomorrow."

"Go away, I just said that, my family doesn't even have enough food to eat." The man laughed and cursed. How much hope can those who are still in the cowshed at this time? Don't waste food.

The aunties drank water, rested for a while, and then continued to disperse to the fields allocated to them to harvest rice.

Not far away, several young wives also gathered together to drink water. They would occasionally glance at Lu Xiaolan.

"You said, Lu Xiaolan hasn't done farm work for several years, how can she still do it? I've taken a break several times, but she never did."

Someone was jealous, "She's just pretending. She's only been working for a whole morning, so she's naturally very energetic. After she finishes cutting today, she probably won't come tomorrow."

Farm work is so tiring, and there are only a few who are willing to do it. That person thought Lu Xiaolan was just here to show off and gain a good reputation. After all, she's divorced and can't have children. What's the use of getting into college? No man would be willing to marry her unless she marries someone with children.

"I don't think so. Lu Xiaolan is not the kind of person who likes to do superficial work." Someone said. She and Lu Xiaolan were classmates in elementary school and grew up together. She still knows her a little.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know in two days. Take a break and work hard. I think the team leader is coming." Someone said, picked up the sickle and went to work again. Everyone

saw that the team leader was really coming here, and they quickly dispersed to work.

Li Yue'e had been paying attention to Lu Xiaolan all morning. She didn't expect that the girl hadn't done farm work for so many years, but her skills were not lost.

"Girl, take a break and drink some water." Li Yue'e said, "Mother thought you couldn't do it, but I didn't expect you are not much slower than mother."

Lu Xiaolan smiled embarrassedly. In fact, she was not very active, but seeing her mother was so old, she knew that if she did more, her mother would have to do less, so she endured it.

Lu Xiaolan went over to drink some water and said, "Mom, don't do such heavy work in the future. Let the young people do the rice harvesting, and you go to the drying field to dry the rice."

Lu Xiaolan did not persuade Li Yue'e not to go to work, because she would definitely not be willing to do so.

Li Yue'e waved her hands, "How can I do that? There are not many people in my family who work, but there are many people who need to share the grain, and everyone is watching." "

Our family has been divided, why do you worry so much? The eldest brother and the second brother will make their own plans, and you three old people just need to do your own things. At worst, you can buy grain from the production team when the time comes."

"Mother knows what to do. While you can still work, work for a few more years. When you can't work anymore, mother will stop, and wait for the four brothers and sisters to take care of me in my old age." Li Yue'e waved her hands.

"Mom, my third sister-in-law said that after two years, when things become more open, we will let you three old people live in Guangzhou. The climate there is better and suitable for old people to live."

Li Yue'e smiled, "Then you can go and see the world. You don't need to live there. Your father is still the party secretary. Besides, mom can still do some work here. What can she do there? You will have to rely on your third brother and sister-in-law to support her?"
