It is easy to hammer a few nails into the adobe wall.
Meng Xiao turned his head and said, "Bring the curtain over here, I'll help you hang it up."
"Okay." Shen Qingli turned around and went to the storage box to get the prepared curtains. He chose the opaque curtains that every modern household uses. Because they were the size of a small bay window, they were probably not easy to sell, so they were piled up in the warehouse. They were just right for the small windows of this earthen house.
"This fabric is quite good. It would be a shame to use it to make curtains." Although Meng Xiao didn't know much about fabrics, he felt that his quilts were not as silky as this fabric.
Shen Qingli was worried that he would doubt her. "It's okay. My uncle sent it from Xiangcheng and said it's quite cheap there."
Meng Xiao didn't say anything else.
After that, silence fell between the two of them. It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome. At this moment, Shen Qingli only felt that men who work hard under the dim light are also handsome.
Shen Qingli was staring at him intently but didn't expect the man to suddenly turn around.
"Hmm~"
It hurts so much! Fortunately, my nose is not fake, otherwise it would be crooked. It really hurts and my eyes are red.
Is this person an iron wall?
She raised her head and looked at him accusingly with her watery, red eyes.
Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and his chest felt a little numb. But Shen Zhiqing didn't look well.
"pain"
Although it was an accident, Meng Xiao still said sorry first. "Does it still hurt?"
"It still hurts a little." He had never been in contact with girls before and didn't know what to do. It didn't seem appropriate to just walk away. The 1.88-meter-tall man just stood there, at a loss.
"It's okay, you can go back first. Thank you, Brother Meng, for today." Shen Qingli rubbed his nose and found him standing there stupidly, which was a bit funny.
He murmured a response and walked out.
After two days of train travel and another day of tossing and turning, Shen Qingli was already exhausted. She had originally planned to go into the space to take a shower and rest early, but then she thought better of going to the kitchen to boil some warm water and bringing it inside to create the illusion of a bath. Otherwise, Meng Zhiqing might think she was sloppy and didn't shower every day.
After tidying up, I lay down on the soft big bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, the call for assembly on the radio disturbed everyone's sleep. Shen Qingli rubbed his eyes and picked up the watch under his pillow. It was only seven o'clock. He curled his lips and said, "Forget it."
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she carefully took care of her skin and applied sunscreen. She had to work from today on and couldn't get tanned.
After all the hassle, I went out to the small square and the team leader was already calling the roll. After the roll call, they started assigning tasks. It was almost harvest time and there wasn't much work in the fields. Most people's tasks were to repair reservoirs and dig ditches. Seeing Shen Qingli's delicate appearance, the team leader assigned her the task of cutting grass for pigs. This kind of light work was usually done by children.
A basket of pig grass is two centimeters thick. Shen Qingli carried the basket and followed the children to the foot of the mountain. He took out a handful of candy and gave it to the children: "Can you teach me how to pick pig grass?"
"Candy!" Children these days rarely get candy. Their eyes were filled with longing as they scrambled to teach Shen Qingli which grasses were safe and which would make pigs sick. They taught diligently, and Shen Qingli learned just as earnestly. The sun was blazing, and looking at his watch, it was only a little after ten. He'd already gathered a basket full of pig grass. Pretty simple, Shen Qingli thought.
He slowly carried the pig grass on his back to the small square to find the scorekeeper. The scorekeeper was a young man in his twenties who had received a few years of education in the village. His heart pounded as he looked at the fair face in front of him. He blushed and didn't dare to look at Shen Qingli any more.
After Shen Qingli left, the team leader and the village party secretary whispered to each other, "This educated youth Shen is the most beautiful one among them. She also looks the most delicate. She rented a single room at the educated youth site yesterday, which increased the team's income. In the future, when assigning tasks, let's assign her to do work like collecting grass for pigs, which is something that children do. She probably can't do other work. The commune leaders have also asked us to take good care of her. She doesn't rely on work points to make a living, so don't make things difficult for her."
