Chapter 70 Your little girl is a good worker
70
If Tang Yue hadn't been so skilled, Lin Cuicui would have definitely not agreed to leave her home alone in a strange place. She'd have been worried. But her daughter was so capable that she felt a little embarrassed to let her look after the house.
But she understood the meaning of the pebbles her daughter threw. After all, she had seen the formation on the north mountain when she was in Qiligou.
Lin Cuicui looked at the unchanged courtyard in front of her, wondering what the purpose of this formation was.
When Tang Yue said she was leaving, Lin Cuicui didn't react for a moment. Where were they going?
Tang Yue replied as a matter of course, "Go earn work points."
Lin Cuicui disapproved, "My daughter, you don't need to work in the fields. You should just stay at home and read a book."
His daughter learns quite fast. A few days ago, I saw her reading a second-grade book on the train, and now she is reading a fourth-grade book.
Lin Cuicui was glad they had bought all the junior high school tickets in one go. However, she felt a little regretful that they couldn't take the college entrance examination now. If they could, her daughter would definitely be admitted to university.
It seems that there are only a few college students in their entire Gu County.
Tang Yue ignored Lin Cuicui's words and waved to Aunt Ding who was coming over. The group of people went to the fields together.
Looking at the four brothers of Lin Cuicui's family, "Cuicui, such a young child has already gone to the fields?"
"Sister-in-law, they want to see what the land in our village looks like. They will be back soon."
Mrs. Ding nodded and said, "When the child grows up, he will have to go to work. He should play for a few more years while he is still young."
Lin Cuicui just caught the conversation and asked, "Sister-in-law, have the children in your family gone to school?"
Ding Lingzi curled her lips. "I can't even take care of my stomach, so why should I go to school? In a few years, I'll go to the production team to earn work points."
Lin Cuicui felt that what Ding Lingzi said made sense, but also that it didn't make sense. Along the way, Lin Cuicui felt that it seemed better to be cultured.
"Sister-in-law, is there a school in our village?"
"Ah? You want your children to go to school? There's no school in our village. The nearest school is in Daonan Village. Their village is richer than ours, and many children in the village go to school.
But I heard they weren't very good at studying. They usually stopped attending after fifth or sixth grade."
Lin Cuicui nodded. "Then how do we go to school?"
Ding Lingzi didn't expect Lin Cuicui to really want her child to go to school. "Cuicui, are you really going to let your child go to school?"
Lin Cuicui nodded. "Well, it's always good to learn more. Even if you don't have any special skills in the future, keeping accounts is easier than working in the fields."
Ding Lingzi tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed to make sense, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, Cui Cui, you're right. My eldest son is 11 now, so he should go to school for a few years. But if he goes to school, life at home will probably become even harder."
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we live for our children."
"Yes, you're right. You have to ask the village chief when your child goes to school. We can go together then. Who will your family send to school?"
"I plan to let all three boys go."
"Ah, how much does that cost?"
Ding Lingzi smacked her lips. It seemed Cuicui still had some money.
We chatted until we reached the field, and soon the village chief came over.
Here we divide the work every day and choose the size of the plot according to our ability. Different plot sizes will result in different work points per day.
There are only two laborers in Ding Lingzi's family, her and her husband. Both of them are capable and get two full work points every day.
"Cui Cui, you just arrived and you're not used to it. Why not choose a smaller piece today? Change it tomorrow after you've gotten used to it."
Lin Cuicui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are taking the child with us today. I will try to see if I can finish it."
Aunt Juhua, who had just arrived, heard Lin Cuicui's words and said, "Oh, it's a good thing this is divided into zones, otherwise this kid would also want to earn adult work points."
Lin Cuicui looked at her and didn't say anything. Ding Lingzi wanted to go forward and say something, but was stopped by Lin Cuicui.
There are gossipers everywhere. She came here to work, not to quarrel.
The village chief looked at the two plots of land that Lin Cuicui wanted and said, "Your family has many old people and small children. Why don't you exchange them for the two smaller plots first? This day's work will be very hard."
"Thank you, Uncle Li. The children are all here today. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can change to a smaller one tomorrow."
Aunt Juhua shouted again, "We have to do that job carefully, or the ground will be covered with weeds in a few days and it will look like we haven't pulled any grass at all."
"Sister-in-law, how about I take a look at what you do first, and then I follow your standards, okay?"
Aunt Juhua immediately gave up. "What are you looking at? You only have so much time, why don't you just work properly?"
Lin Cuicui ignored her and went to her own field.
Ding Lingzi smiled and said, "Cuicui, you're right. People like that are bullies who only pick on the weak and fear the strong. They think you newcomers are easy to bully, so they want to teach her a lesson."
Tang Yue was delighted when she heard this. Aunt Juhua had already chosen the spot, and she was very nimble and deft, pulling the weeds out in no time.
Tang Yue moved her fingers slightly. Instead of worrying about other people, she might as well focus on her own work.
Juhua was exhausted today, and she was puzzled. Today she came to select the field that Miao's wife had finished weeding last time. Miao Yujiao worked quickly, and her fields were always cleaner than others.
She had come over to look at this field yesterday and decided to come early today to pick it up. She should be able to finish the job in one morning just by picking up the leaks. Ten work points, that was pretty cool.
But she didn't know what was going on. When she'd looked at the field yesterday, it had been quite clean. But after just one night's work, it was all palm-high grass, growing quite evenly. If she didn't pull it out, it would be too conspicuous. But if she did, it would be exhausting.
It was dark when Aunt Juhua slowly straightened up. Oh, she was so tired that day.
I couldn't help but resent Sister Miao. Miao Yuqiao is really good at hiding things. I will never choose the land where she has worked again. She is really harmful.
No, next time she must find the loopholes in Miao Yujiao's work and report her.
Mrs. Miao didn't know that someone was targeting her.
The two plots of land Lin Cuicui had chosen were neither good nor bad. There was just the right amount of grass. She and Old Li were quick and nimble, and with the Tangbei brothers each occupying two ridges, their work was no slow at all.
Tang Yue walked along the ridges. The newly grown grass was a perfect fit for her height, allowing her to pull it up without bending over. Combined with her immense strength, she occupied three ridges by herself, surprisingly moving much faster than Lin Cuicui and the others.
Someone noticed Tang Yue's situation and joked with a smile, "Tang San's family, your little girl is a good worker. She seems to work faster than you guys."
Lin Cuicui paused while bending over to pull out the weeds, then stood up and took a look. Really, this kid is too fast.
She smiled brightly, "The child was playing in the fields, pulling up some weeds. I was worried about leaving her at home, so I brought her here."
Some people kindly reminded us, "Although children are not heavy, they should not go into the fields if they are not working. The soil will become hard if they step on it."
Lin Cuicui knew that the other person meant well, and she appreciated it.
Tang Yue just walked to the edge of the field, and Lin Cuicui said to her, "Yueyue, go play in the field and don't come in. You can't pull up more than two trees, and Mom will have to do it again later."
Tang Yue knew what her mother meant, and she had no intention of exposing herself, so she obediently found a place to sit down.
On the surface, she pulled out the weeds on two ridges, but in fact, Tang Yue came over and cleared the weeds on six ridges, which saved Lin Cuicui at least two hours.
The ridges here are quite long. Walking this way, it should be more than an acre of land.
Later, Lin Cuicui realized how clean the ridges she walked past were.
Tang Yue sat on the edge of the field and stared at the grass in the field. The people here pulled out the weeds with their bare hands, which was too slow.
In the past, she had been on missions for the sect, managing hundreds of acres of medicinal fields by herself. She pursed her lips. Even if she wanted to use her spiritual power to help, her mother probably wouldn't need it. Forget it, working in the fields wasn't really for her.
Smacking their lips, oh, life is so dull. There's not even a bit of meat in a meal. Lin Cuicui has meat coupons, but since they've just arrived, her mother always tells them to keep a low profile and not attract attention. Who knows how many people are staring at them.
Tang Yue had no choice but to stare at the mountains in the distance. She planned to ask her mother later if she could find some wild game there.
Just when Tang Yue was doing nothing, she suddenly felt that the formation in her home was triggered.
