The rope used to weave three hundred nets weighs several hundred kilograms; even if Bai Jiaojiao had a bicycle, she couldn't carry it back.
“Our village’s oxcart is behind us, and we have laborers to pull it. We’ll send it over like that when we’re officially on good terms.”
"That's fine then. Otherwise, with your small frame, you'd probably get crushed by those netting ropes." The factory manager sized up Bai Jiaojiao: "Have you ever considered coming to work for me?"

"Little sister, you don't need to move, I can carry it!"
Li Shuxian's family had connections, so the brigade assigned him this task: whenever the village needed an oxcart, they would ask him to drive it. At that time, he could skip the field work and earn work points just by riding the cart. It was a good job.
