Chapter 155: So Close



On the way back, Su Qingyun kept thinking about what the teacher meant by "the thing under her feet". She walked to the door of her house unknowingly. Looking at the open gate, she thought for a while and continued walking forward.

She walked all the way to the experimental field in the village, squatted on the ridge, and her eyes wandered away.

In the fields, students from the Agricultural University and several experts were sowing the high-quality wheat seeds they had cultivated. The wind brought the fresh scent of earth, with the taste of spring sunshine.

She frowned slightly and began to think about what the so-called "things right under your feet" were. The people in the field kept bending down to sow wheat seeds, and then standing up again. This bending up and down was very tiring for the waist, and every once in a while they had to hammer their waists to relieve the numbness.

Today's sowing is far from the mechanized sowing of later generations. It basically still relies on manpower and livestock. There is an agricultural sowing tool called a plow, which is usually pulled by livestock in front and manpower shaking the plow behind.

Plowing is a technical job. It is usually done by an experienced farmer who stands at the back and uses both hands to plow the field. The amount of seeds to be sown depends on the feeling of his hands. Experienced farmers are often very precise and there will not be insufficient or leftover wheat seeds.

But now, regardless of how many experienced old masters there are in a village, there are only a few livestock. The entire Luoshui Village has only a few cows raised by the team. There are many fields in the whole village, and the supply cannot meet the demand, so most of the sowing is still done by hand.

Thinking about this, Su Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up. Could she make a mechanized sowing tool that could save time and effort?

In an instant, many designs of mechanized seed drills in later generations popped up in her mind, but she quickly rejected them. Those large machines were simply not something she could make with her small scale. She could only think about whether she could make a small, lightweight, single-person-use seed drill.

Su Qingyun squatted on the ridge of the field and thought about this problem. She sketched out some styles in her mind, and then overturned them one by one and re-conceived them. Unconsciously, she was lost in thought.

The villagers working in the fields soon noticed her.

"Isn't that the girl from the Su family? What is she doing squatting there? Why is she still motionless?"

"Isn't she helping out at the village experiment site? Maybe she's working or something?"

"Hey, have you heard? That girl recently participated in some competition and is going to the capital later."

"Of course I don't know. With Wu Guixiang's tongue, she'd be eager to inform every household if something happened to Qingyun."

"But I have to say, if my family had a child like Qingyun, I would notify everyone in the village, not to mention the other families, even the dogs in the village. That's going to the capital, but has anyone in our village ever been to the capital?"

"Hey, isn't Su Qingyun's mother, Teacher Qin, from the capital?"

"That's what they call, like mother, like daughter."

"Hahahahaha! Who said it wasn't?"

Working in the fields is hard, and chatting is a way to relieve stress. When it comes to children from each household, Su Qingyun is undoubtedly the central figure that everyone discusses the most.

Everyone has gone from envy and jealousy at the beginning to numbness now. How can such a child be easily obtained? It is completely hard to come by. Look at the gods in the sky, there are so many of them, but there is only one Wenquxing.

No one expects their children to be as successful as Su Qingyun, but it would be good if they could have a few percent or even a little bit of that. This has led to many parents of students in Luoshui Village Primary School specifically wanting to send their children to Qin Ying's class. Since Teacher Qin can educate a child like Su Qingyun, then he will probably be able to educate his own children better.

There were many people who thought this way, and in the end it was Qin Youfu who stepped in to resolve the matter.

While the villagers were chatting here, Xu Wen and his companions also saw Su Qingyun.

Zhou Xiaoqing glanced at him and asked, "What is Su doing over there?"

Li Wenwen took a look and curled her lips, saying, "What else can we do? We're all so tired we can't even stand up straight, and yet she's squatting there, so steady and secure. What's this? Is this a wealthy landlord supervising us?"

"Wenwen, what did you say!" Xu Wen's face changed drastically, "How dare you say such words?" Can words like landlord and rich man be said casually?

"What's wrong with what I said? There are only a few of us. Why should I be afraid?" Li Wenwen said without fear. "Besides, I'm not wrong. Why do we all work in the experimental group? We work ourselves to death every day, while she has nothing to do but relax."

Once people have prejudices, they will find everything they see in others to be wrong, just like how Li Wenwen looked at Su Qingyun at this moment. Originally, she was somewhat jealous of Su Qingyun, who was prettier and more outstanding than herself, which she was unwilling to admit. Coupled with the incident with Lin Jianfeng, she completely hated Su Qingyun.

"Shut up!" Li Wenjun, displaying his brotherly authority, shouted angrily, sternly warning Li Wenwen, "Do you think you can just say anything? Do you know that words can cause trouble? What will happen if you keep talking without restraint? If someone else hears you, no one will be able to save you!"

Li Wenwen was startled by her brother's tone, but she didn't take it seriously. "I was just talking."

Li Wenjun looked at his sister and felt extremely tired. She didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. It was all their fault for protecting her too well in the past.

He took a deep breath and tried to reason with her, "Classmate Su was just hired by our group to help. What's going on in the fields is not her job at all. What does it have to do with her?"

"What do you mean it doesn't matter? We are all about the same age and in the experimental group. Why does she do nothing? And she's been missing for three days. Just two days ago, I heard that she went to the provincial capital to participate in some messed up competition. How can any competition be more important than our work? She is just irresponsible!" Li Wenwen expressed all her dissatisfaction with Su Qingyun.
