Qi Fei didn't mind. Seeing that no one chose her, she looked at the village chief and asked, "Village chief, can I choose myself?"
"Oh? Then you choose one." The village chief didn't care about wasting time on this issue.
“Then I’ll go to his squad.” Qifei pointed to the person who stood out from the crowd.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and all turned to look at Shura standing in the crowd.
As soon as Shura's gaze swept over, everyone immediately looked away. It was terrifying. He truly lived up to his reputation as a wolf cub; his gaze could scare a person to death.
The squad leader of Shura's squad shuddered. "No way, they're coming to their squad?"
There was already a troublemaker in the team, and he was always on edge. Now that such a beautiful female educated youth has arrived, how can the team still get any work done?
Look, as soon as the female educated youth chose their team, all the young men in their team blushed and secretly glanced at her. Don't think they didn't see her!
Before he could even refuse, the village chief made the final decision, "Alright, you can go to that team."
He was waiting to assign tasks for the day and didn't want to waste any more time.
After assigning tasks, the village chief watched as everyone received their farm tools before returning to the village committee with his hands behind his back.
Qifei caught up with Shura, carrying farm tools, and looked at him with a smile, "Comrade Shura, thank you for what happened yesterday."
"Hmm." Shura hummed softly, not intending to continue the conversation. He found Qifei a bit noisy and overly familiar.
Qifei held out a piece of candy from her hand. "Here, consider this a thank you gift."
"No need." Shura refused without even looking at it.
"It's just a piece of candy. If you don't want it, I'll be sad." Qifei handed the candy to Xiu Luo without further ado.
Shura felt that the moment Qifei's fingers touched his skin, they were very soft, and then a candy, a rabbit milk candy, appeared in his palm.
He wanted to return the candy to her, but he didn't want to make things complicated. Besides, Qifei had already gone to talk to other people after giving him the candy, so he didn't want to call her back.
Shura casually stuffed the candy into his pocket.
With her good looks and sweet tongue, Qi Fei quickly became friends with the aunties in her team, and could chat and laugh with the older educated youth in the same team.
The monkey, with its shifty eyes, came over and winked at Shura, "Boss, does that new educated youth have a thing for you?"
After what happened yesterday and today, Monkey figured it out: was that incredibly beautiful female educated youth in love with his eldest son?
Otherwise, why would they insist on getting close to the boss?
The eldest brother truly lives up to his reputation; he managed to win over the most beautiful female educated youth in a single encounter. He's incredibly impressive.
Shura glanced at the monkey casually, and the monkey immediately dropped his flirtatious expression, grinning at Shura, "Boss, that educated youth doesn't look like she can do any work. Why don't you go help her later?"
To be honest, the eldest son was no longer a child, but because of his notorious reputation as a village bully and his quiet nature, the young girls in the surrounding villages were afraid to approach him.
Now that someone who isn't afraid has finally arrived, why doesn't the boss seize the opportunity? When are we going to wait?
Shura didn't speak, but only glanced at the delicate Qifei before looking away.
What does his inability to work have to do with him?
Qifei and her team belonged to the third team. Today, their task was to turn over all the land where the wheat had been harvested earlier. They were responsible for one area, while the other teams had their own areas.
To be honest, this is a job that Qifei has never done before.
She watched others practice with a hoe for a while before imitating them and chopping the ground with the hoe.
The first strike, the recoil from the hoe, made her hands go numb.
She pouted in grievance and angrily began the next step. She refused to believe that she, a pomegranate spirit, who had such intimate contact with the earth, could not even handle this little bit of soil.
She had only hoeed the ground a couple of times when she was already covered in a thin layer of sweat, her little face flushed. The people around her were a little distracted, wishing they could help her out.
The squad leader frowned; he knew this would happen. He coughed and shouted, "What are you looking at? Can't you even finish your own work? Don't you want your work points?"
He walked up to Qifei, who then swung her hoe again, only managing to turn over a tiny bit after a long time. Even a child could do it faster than her.
He hesitated, as if to say that Qifei didn't work, but she did work, and she did it very seriously and diligently.
If she were to do the work, it would be so infuriating that it would make you furious, but with her excessively beautiful face, you wouldn't be able to say anything harsh to her.
The squad leader had no choice but to swallow his words again, only saying, "Hurry up and get to work."
Everyone has a assigned area, and you have to finish your assigned area before you can get work points for today.
Moreover, different work points are awarded based on the quality of the work performed.
He felt worried about someone like Qi Fei.
However, he wouldn't show favoritism; he'd see how things went first.
Everyone else was used to farm work, so although it was tiring, they were still very fast. They had already finished a large part of the work, while Qifei had only turned over a small part.
The squad leader in the middle blew his whistle to let everyone drink water and rest. Qifei plopped down under a tree and looked at her red, blistered hands, tears streaming down her face.
"Waaaaah, System, my hand hurts." Qifei cried to the system.
The system felt a little sorry for Qifei when it saw the blisters on her palms. It had never done this before with a live host, and her skin was always delicate. This was truly the first time she had ever done something like this.
[What to do, what to do?] The system was also anxious, and suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" [Host, didn't I equip you with a storage bag when I was doing my advanced training? Do you have anything in your storage bag that can heal hands?]
Qi Fei, who was secretly shedding tears, paused for a moment. She had forgotten about this matter if the system hadn't mentioned it.
[It seems... there should be some, I need to check.]
Back when Qifei was still a pomegranate tree, her friends loved to bring her all sorts of things. She would usually just throw them into one of her storage bags after receiving them, and she really didn't know if they contained any medicine.
It seems like someone gave it to her before, but it's been so long that she can't quite remember.
"Then I'll go check for the host." The system said, and dashed off to help Qifei search.
Just as Qifei was about to offer a word of advice, she looked up and saw Xiu Luo standing in front of her with his lips pursed.
Her eyes were still wet with tears, and the teardrops on her eyelashes made her eyes look even more innocent.
When Shura saw the blisters on Qifei's hands, he squatted down, took out bandages from his pocket, and wrapped them around the blisters on both of her hands several times.
Seeing her biting her lip and shedding tears, he said in a rough voice, "Don't do it for a while, you can't touch anything with your hands."
