"Who knows? Probably! But, since you're not doing any work, is it alright for you to come here instead?"
Tang Baozhu saw the team leader walking back and forth on the ridge of the field, probably checking whether everyone was working diligently and whether anyone was slacking off.
"The captain just left. It's alright, let me rest for a while. It's really too tiring. It seems you're smart to wear gloves, so your hands won't suffer as much. Do you have any more gloves? I'll pay for a pair."
Xu Man really didn't bring gloves to the countryside; she had forgotten. If she went to buy some now, she wouldn't have time to go since the commune was so far away. After thinking it over, she decided that if Tang Zhiqing had any extra gloves, he could buy a pair for her to use for the time being.
"Okay, I'll get you a pair after I finish work. I brought two pairs with me when I went to the countryside. I feel like these things are always useful. I should stock up on a few more next time I go to the commune."
Tang Baozhu actually had a lot more in her warehouse, all of which Xu Rui had stockpiled for her, but she couldn't say it out loud. She didn't plan to sell the things she had stockpiled in the warehouse, so she deliberately said there were only two pairs.
Because she knew she would be traveling through time endlessly, she tried to stock up on as many things as possible in her warehouse and small spaces, and avoided using the items there unless absolutely necessary.
"Thank you, Baozhu. I don't know how much a pair of gloves costs either, but I think fifty cents should be enough. I'll give you fifty cents later."
"Okay, we'll talk about it around noon. Let's get to work. I think I see the team leader is coming."
As soon as Xu Man heard that the brigade leader was coming, she quickly returned to her work area, afraid that she would be scolded and have her work points deducted if she saw him.
Captain Jin was walking around so diligently because he wanted to keep an eye on his youngest son. The rascal was flirting with a young girl, so as a father, he naturally had to keep a close eye on him.
Then I noticed my youngest son helping the woman with chores. He didn't say a word, but he was working quite diligently. He seemed like a fool. I couldn't bear to watch him. He was so hardworking, even pulling weeds. I turned and left.
Tang Baozhu glanced at the captain who was slowly walking away, then at Jin Meng who was working ahead, and lowered her head to concentrate on her work.
Lost in thought, he realized that the brigade leader's three sons hadn't separated from the family yet, and their wives were all working. Only the brigade leader's wife was at home taking care of their two granddaughters.
I heard that the reputation is quite good, and that he didn't treat his two daughters badly just because he had two daughters. He just felt that it was troublesome for a large group of people to live together.
Forget it, it's not my business for now, so I shouldn't think about it too much.
By lunchtime, she had completed half of the task assigned to her, thanks to someone's help. Without help, even though she was very strong, she probably wouldn't have been able to finish it, as an acre of land is quite large.
Back at the educated youth settlement, as soon as he entered the room, he took out a pair of gloves and handed them to Xu Man. "Here are your gloves. I only brought two pairs, that's all I have. Next time you go to the commune, you should stock up on more. After all, we don't know how long we'll be here. Without these, our hands will get hurt."
The people around her had seen Tang Baozhu take out gloves and wanted to ask if she had any extras, since some of them hadn't brought any either. But when they heard her say she only had two pairs, they could only feel disappointed.
"Thank you, Baozhu. Here's the money. I don't know the exact amount, but please don't think it's too little."
Xu Man received the gloves and happily took out fifty cents from her pocket, handing it to Baozhu.
Tang Baozhu didn't refuse, because it was what she deserved. As for five cents, she figured it should be enough, right? Things were so cheap back then. Of course, she didn't know the exact price.
After receiving the money, I quickly went back inside to prepare a meal, as I had to go to work in the afternoon.
After lunch, at 2 p.m., Tang Baozhu went back to work. While she was working, she noticed that Jin Meng had come to the field she was assigned to help her with the work.
Since she couldn't really talk about him, she just pretended not to see him. However, because someone helped her, she finished her task in the afternoon before everyone else had even completed it.
"Comrade Jin, thank you for today. You don't need to come to help with the work tomorrow; I can manage on my own."
"It's alright, Tang Zhiqing. I don't have anything to do anyway. You look so delicate, you should rest more. You can take care of the work from now on."
When Jin Meng heard the girl say that he didn't need to do any work tomorrow, he didn't listen to her at all. Don't think he didn't know that with the girl being so pretty, there were plenty of people around who were eager to help with the work.
Because his father was the brigade leader, and because he had been the village bully since childhood, no one dared to offend him. Seeing him here, no one else dared to approach.
He wouldn't give anyone else a chance. Although he couldn't earn money while working for the girl, he figured he had almost ten thousand yuan in savings, so he wasn't in a hurry.
He'd better win the girl over first; making money wasn't a rush. He wouldn't let her suffer anyway.
Tang Baozhu rolled her eyes silently when she saw that he was not listening to her and was going to come again tomorrow, and then went straight back to the educated youth settlement.
Walking down the street, I noticed many people staring at me and whispering amongst themselves. I didn't hear them, but I knew they weren't saying anything nice.
Fortunately, she didn't care what others said. After all, it wasn't her who asked him to do the work. Although it might not be good for her reputation, it didn't matter as long as she didn't care too much.
Looking at the mountains behind the educated youth settlement, Tang Baozhu felt a little restless. She wanted to go over there and see if she could use her wood-type ability to accelerate the growth of vines, and then catch pheasants and rabbits.
After all, it would be a waste not to keep any living things in such a small space. What if the meat stored in the warehouse runs out? We would have to raise some ourselves so that we would have a continuous supply of meat.
Anyway, you don't have to take care of it yourself; at least there's an all-powerful robot inside.
This thing is really useful, but I'm worried that if the space is upgraded in the future, I won't be able to manage it. I also wonder if Carlo from the interstellar plane has been reincarnated? If he has, I don't know when I'll be able to meet him again.
Thinking of the pheasants and rabbits, Tang Baozhu didn't go into the courtyard, but went directly up the mountain via the side path.
As soon as I climbed to the top of the small hill behind, I found that the mountains behind were becoming more and more lush and higher, and it was clear that there were definitely many wild animals inside.
Today, I'll hunt some small game. I'll come back to hunt again after the farms or fences in the space are built. That way, there will be a place to put the game, and it won't damage the crops in the space.
