Chapter 18 Measuring the Land
When the noon bell rang, Li Ruolan looked at her watch and it was already twelve o'clock.
In the morning they start working at seven in the morning and work from seven to twelve o'clock, a total of five hours. In the afternoon they start working at half past one and work until six o'clock.
At this time, we basically work until six o'clock, because it starts to get dark after six o'clock, and it will be completely dark before seven o'clock.
In another month or two, it will be completely dark at six o'clock, and people will get off work earlier.
Moreover, in the Northeast, construction has to stop at around the end of October because it starts snowing and the soil in the ground will freeze. It will not thaw until March or April of the following year.
Only then will the people here come out to work, which means that there will be nearly five months of shutdown time in the Northeast every year.
This is also the reason why Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao chose to go to the countryside in Northeast China. They only need to work for half a year and then stay at home for the rest of the year.
When she went back to eat at noon, Li Ruolan realized that it was Guo Xiaoya and Qin Wan who had been arguing.
These two people were extremely unlucky to be assigned to the same group. They didn't know what was going on, but they started arguing.
The team leader had no choice but to separate the two, with several groups of people between them. Only then did Guo Xiaoya and Qin Wan calm down and go to work properly.
On the way back, Li Ruolan saw Qin Wan, came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Qin Wan sighed: "It's okay, I don't know what's wrong with Guo Xiaoya, she always targets me, I got annoyed, so I quarreled with her."
When she was pulling out the weeds, she found that the weeds contained a lot of wood energy, so Qin Wan carefully absorbed some of the wood energy contained in the weeds while pulling out the weeds.
After some of the wood energy was absorbed, the grass became very easy to pull out, so Qin Wan found the work very easy.
But Guo Xiaoya had never done farm work before, and when pulling out the weeds she only knew how to use all her strength, resulting in her falling down every time.
Qin Wan laughed after seeing this, and this laugh annoyed Guo Xiaoya.
Guo Xiaoya thought Qin Wan was making fun of her and immediately became angry, and the two of them had a fight.
Qin Wan was originally unhappy with Guo Xiaoya, and when she heard Guo Xiaoya's words were so unpleasant, she couldn't help but kicked Guo Xiaoya hard, and the two of them started quarreling.
“Forget it, there’s nothing much to say. After lunch, I’ll go find the village chief and ask him to help build a house for me.
I must move out, preferably away from Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao, the two engaged couples, to prevent Guo Xiaoya from protecting Xu Tao like a child and not allowing others to even look at him.
Besides, Xu Tao is not a popular guy, so who would have nothing better to do than to interfere in the relationship between an engaged couple?" Qin Wan scratched her head in annoyance.
Li Ruolan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, because she saw Xu Tao, who was walking not far behind them. He must have heard what Qin Wan said just now.
Deng Minghao was walking beside Li Ruolan. When he saw her looking back, he followed her line of sight and happened to see Xu Tao. He went up to Xu Tao and told him what had happened between Guo Xiaoya and Qin Wan.
"This matter actually has little to do with Qin Zhiqing. It was indeed Guo Zhiqing who disliked Qin Zhiqing first.
You and Guo Zhiqing are an engaged couple. It's all your fault that Guo Zhiqing is like this. It must be because you didn't give her enough sense of security, so she felt that Qin Zhiqing might snatch you away.
As men, we must shoulder the responsibilities of men. Since we have decided to marry someone, we must treat her like our wife.
You must give your wife enough sense of security, and don't let her have wild thoughts. Otherwise, when she figures it out, you will be of no use to her."
Deng Minghao acted like an older brother and passed on his experience to Xu Tao.
Like Li Ruolan, he no longer viewed this world as a book since he traveled to this world.
In their previous life, Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao broke off their engagement, and in the end Xu Tao and Qin Wan got together. It was a sign of their fate.
But now, Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao have not broken off their engagement. They still go to the countryside together as an engaged couple. Qin Wan, who has a very positive outlook on life, will definitely not have too much involvement with Xu Tao.
So in this life, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao both felt that these two people would never be able to be together.
The two did not interfere in the love-hate relationship between the three people, but sometimes they just couldn't stand it and would say more.
Since Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya have not broken off the engagement, he should fulfill his role as a fiancé. If he really doesn't like Guo Xiaoya, he can just break off the engagement directly.
Instead of letting Guo Xiaoya embarrass the innocent Qin Wan, to put it bluntly, the matter between the two women was caused by Xu Tao.
Xu Tao listened carefully to Deng Minghao's words, with a thoughtful look on his face. Then he glanced at Qin Wan who was looking angry in front of him and thanked Deng Minghao.
"Thank you, I know what to do." After Xu Tao said that, he went to find Guo Xiaoya.
After returning to the educated youth site, the male educated youth fetched water and chopped firewood, while the female educated youth started cooking. Because everyone was tired, they just fried a pot of vegetables and ate coarse grain cakes as usual.
During the meal, Xu Tao and Guo Xiaoya were not seen for a long time. Everyone saved their food and each picked up their own bowls to start eating.
The two men came back when they were halfway through the meal. Guo Xiaoya followed Xu Tao with a red face. When she passed Qin Wan, she hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
After everyone finished their meal, they climbed onto the kang to rest for a while, and then when the time came, they went back to work.
In this way, a day passed, and Deng Minghao, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun all received the same nine work points as the old educated youth.
Xu Tao got eight work points, and Liu Kunming was the thinnest among the boys, but even so he still got seven work points.
Li Ruolan and Li Yingying both had seven work points, and Qin Wan was the one with the most work points among the new female educated youth, with eight work points.
Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua had five work points, while Guo Xiaoya had the lowest, only four.
After a tiring day, all the new educated youth had backaches. Li Ruolan and the others were fine, at least they wore gloves. But Li Yingying was in a worse situation, with several bloody streaks on her hands.
The new educated youth returned to the Institute of Information Science and Technology like zombies, and then they saw the team leader and a few others measuring the land next to the Institute of Information Science and Technology.
Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao were suddenly shocked. They thought that they were probably measuring the land for their house so that they could build it earlier and move out sooner.
The two of them really didn't want to see coarse flour pancakes or anything like that anymore.
Qin Wan also looked over there. She had gone to see the team leader at noon today and gave him the money for building a house. Now that the land was measured, there should be a house for her.
