Chapter 325: Secretly Doing Things
Li Laiyu's somewhat unclear consciousness gradually became clear as the warm substance in his mouth flowed into his throat.
Wang Chengying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she still managed to swallow. She wiped her eyes with her hand and said, "Old man, you're still alive, still alive, and you still know how to eat."
Li Guoping hummed: "She's too hungry. She didn't have a good foundation to begin with. She suffered a lot when she was a child. Even adults can't stand this kind of life, let alone she is so young." I've raised her for two years, and she can already call me grandpa and grandma. How sad she would be if she died like this.
"There's nothing we can do about it. She would never have been reborn into our family. If she had been reborn into a family with better social status, this wouldn't have happened."
After the feeding was almost finished, Wang Chengying poured the remaining rice into his own mouth.
He went out to wash the ladle, then came back and reached out to touch Li Lai Yu's butt.
Then he picked her up and helped her pee.
This was a new ability that Li Laiyu had developed after becoming a child. She could pee at any time without even opening her eyes. As for shame and self-esteem, as a child who couldn't take care of herself, she no longer deserved those things.
She just wants to grow up quickly, even just a little bit, but why does time go by so slowly?
After confirming that she was just too hungry, Wang Chengying and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. After washing up, they blew out the oil lamp and rested.
Li Lai Yu woke up but didn't open his eyes. He just lay there listening to the old couple talking.
Wang Chengying asked Li Guoping: "How did you deal with the next thing?" She was worried that her child had left early and the meeting had not yet ended.
Li Guoping said, "It's been a big commotion. Now everyone's trying to use this opportunity to cook in the cafeteria. Hu Xinghong is in a difficult position. We can't ask everyone to go, but if one goes and another doesn't, there will definitely be complaints and more trouble. Today, someone suggested sharing the food and cooking at home. It depends on whether Hu Xinghong listens."
Wang Chengying's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt excited. "I don't know if it will work. If I can really cook by myself, I think it will be better than going to the cafeteria, right?"
Li Guoping coughed. "It's hard to say. This is a big deal. This matter will definitely be reported. It depends on the attitude of the team and how the higher-ups will handle it."
After saying that, he sighed heavily: "Go to sleep, don't worry about these things, we can't worry about them." They don't even have the most basic right to speak.
They couldn't compete with the other members for food from the communal pot, so they were always at the back and never had enough to eat. Distributing food to each household sounded good, but he wasn't optimistic. After all, they didn't get the same pay as other members of the commune for the same work, so how could life be easy?
In July, the work in the fields was almost done and the potatoes were almost dug, but I couldn't sit idle at home until the day was over.
Li Lai Yu was taken to the field and stayed under the comb at the edge of the field with Hu Lai Xi.
The youngest, Hu Wenhai, was watching them both from the side.
Hu Laixi was able to run around, and this was the most critical moment. He ran a long way away in the blink of an eye. The ground was so high, and if he fell down, it would be a disaster.
Li Laiyu was in better shape. He had just learned to walk, but he was still unsteady and hardly ran around. He would stand there for half a day holding onto the step, which was really worry-free.
Li Laiyu, who is very worry-free, is doing something bad at the moment.
She quietly dug up a potato seedling from the edge of the embankment with a small stick.
The potatoes below were not too big, about the size of an egg, with a few smaller ones as big as an adult's finger.
She tried to use her mental power to send this thing into that so-called space.
The farming system called 501, which is said to be for May 1st International Labor Day, said that she can now bring seeds from outside into it and cultivate them, not only to obtain food but also rewards.
Regardless of whether it's bullshit or not, it won't hurt to give it a try.
What if it’s true!
In the past two years, Li Laiyu has deeply felt what it feels like to be hungry, and what it feels like to have no hope and no end in sight.
She concentrated her energy and tried several times. When the potato in her hand had lost all its sprouts, her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, covered in sweat.
The exhaustion was real, and the success was also real. There is always a way out, she said. Since she was given the opportunity to live again, she must not lose her way out.
The work in the field was not very peaceful. After a while, people started to approach Hu Xinghong and ask him about the canteen.
Because of the big commotion yesterday, everyone is now concerned about how they will eat after finishing the work. After all, food is the most important thing for people, and whether you work or not, you have to eat.
Hu Xinghong was truly irritated. "I've already reported this to the brigade secretary overnight. Now you're asking me, and I can't give you an answer. Whether it's re-selecting cooks or giving you grain so you can go back and cook yourselves, we need to hold a meeting and discuss everything. What does my word count? I'm nothing!"
Eating is a big deal. If there is no settlement, few people in the team are willing to work. Everyone is slacking off. Only Li Guoping's family is still honest and continues to work as they usually do.
When Wang Chengying and Li Guangwen straightened their backs to take a breath, they would look towards the edge of the field and see Li Laiyu sitting there obediently poking the mud with a stick, and they felt a little relieved.
When times are tough, it would be better if the children were more obedient, otherwise it would really be overwhelming.
Hu Laixi followed Hu Wenhai and ran all over the field. They had already run to the middle of the field, leaving Li Laiyu alone at the end.
She took a breath, stood up, walked a few steps forward, then sat down again and started working hard.
No one cared about her behavior. She poked here and there, and by the end of the first half of the day, her record was very impressive.
She dug up three potato seedlings and threw them into the space. She didn't know whether the seasons in the space were synchronized with reality, and whether she could plant them now, but she thought corn could definitely be planted.
The potato fields were interplanted with corn, which was only about a foot tall at the moment. She quietly pulled out one corn if there were more than one.
Unfortunately, she is still in a bad mood, and it is extremely difficult for her to send things into the space every time. Otherwise, she feels that her record will be even more brilliant.
We still had lunch in the cafeteria, but because of the incident the day before, the food was a little better. At least it wasn't as watery as before, so watery that you could use it as a mirror to reflect your face.
But the team members were not shaken by the changes in the meal and started making noise again while eating.
Li Guoping didn't dare to get involved in these matters. After dinner, he took his family away, didn't say much or ask much, and just went to work.
It has even less to do with Li Laiyu.
Because of the smuggling, she is now looking forward to going to work.
However, after only three or four days of work, the work in the fields was completely finished.
She was not greedy. The few crops she smuggled in were enough to plant the two centimeters of land in her space.
As she brought the seedlings in and buried them in the soil, the magical wooden sign next to it changed, and the "0" on it became a "5".
Li Laiyu lived a life of luxury in her previous life, but she was not unfamiliar with household chores. After her father died, she overcame all difficulties and inherited the position of Changping City Lord. Every spring during the plowing season, she would go out of the city to the fields and lead the oxen to plow the first ridge of land.
Although she had never farmed herself, she had carefully observed how the people did it.
For example, fertilizing and watering.
Of course, crops rely on rain for watering, but it doesn't look like it's going to rain in her space right now. Whether to irrigate the crops or how to get water in is a question that will never yield any results no matter how much she thinks about it.
Because she was too young, her family would not let her go to the river. There was a water tank at home, but she could not reach it at all.
As for the well, forget it, it's too risky. She's like a bean sprout, and if she accidentally falls in, the most she'll get is a splash of water.
However, she soon found an opportunity. Her father Li Guangyuan went to the well to fetch water.
When the water tank was full, he carried another bucket of water and placed it next to it.
When the adults were busy, she sneaked into the kitchen at the back of the house, which was not even a room, and used a wooden ladle that was bigger than her head to scoop water. She tried several times but failed to get the water in. Instead, she was exhausted and sat down on the ground. Not only did the water spill all over her, but she also lost her grip on the ladle and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Hearing the noise, Wang Chengying came in from outside, looked at the water on the ground and the people, and slapped her on the butt: "Poor kid, why are you playing in the water and your clothes are wet."
Li Laiyu was unable to catch her breath for a long time. She was beaten on the buttocks!
When she recovered, the person had already been carried out. She blinked and looked at Wang Chengying: "Grandma, I'm thirsty."
"Thirsty ass! Look at how much water you peed. It only went on your body, not your mouth."
Wang Chengying scolded her but she didn't cry. She just lay on the bench with her head down for a long time without moving.
Wang Chengying sighed, got up, went back into the house to scoop some more water, watched her drink it, and then warned her, "Don't mess with the water. If your father sees you, you'll get a beating, okay?"
Li Laiyu nodded.
The weather in July is getting hotter day by day. At noon, the cicadas are calling at the top of their lungs, making a deafening noise.
Li Lai Yu held the bench, stuck out his butt and pulled the two benches together, then lay on them, turned over, and slept on them.
After releasing the energy, I entered the space and took a look, but there was no change.
The rarely heard voice suddenly rang out, "You have completed the Spring Planting mission. You have received the upgrade reward, Spring Rain as Precious as Oil x10. Do you want to claim it?"
What the hell?
Li Laiyu didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from making a choice. It was a reward for completing the mission, so she had to take it.
I accepted it, and a cool and damp feeling suddenly fell from above.
Is it raining? Or is it just a drizzle?
It turns out that spring rain is as precious as oil!
