In Chaoyang Brigade, workers were assigned their own work, and they only did the amount of work they were assigned. Once they finished, they could leave work immediately. From this perspective, Chaoyang Brigade was quite good. It seems that not being a barefoot doctor is actually quite nice; I have more freedom. I only need to do my job each day and then I can move around freely, unlike being a barefoot doctor who has to be stationed at the clinic every day. Thinking about it this way, it's better not to be a barefoot doctor.
Lin Qing followed everyone to the scorekeeper to collect their work. Lu Xianghong collected 8 work points, Xu Fengjiao, Chen Bin, and Wang Haoran each collected 4 work points, and Lin Qing also collected 4 work points. She decided to finish her work in the morning so she wouldn't have to come in the afternoon.
Today's main task was weeding the cornfield. Weeding is actually quite simple; you can use a hoe or pull by hand. The only downside is that it's hard on your back, and the corn grows very tall, so the leaves can scratch your arms or face. Lin Qing covered her face with a headscarf, but she still couldn't avoid getting scratched on her neck and face by the leaves. It was incredibly itchy when she sweated. Lin Qing tried to scratch it, but found her hands covered in dirt. Her neck and face were burning and itchy, so this work was indeed not easy.
Lin Qing finally finished her work, and it was already past noon. Actually, Lin Qing was quite used to it, except that the corn leaves scratched her face and made her very itchy, but the rest was pretty easy. Lin Qing decided to modify her equipment properly tomorrow. With the right equipment, this kind of work would be quite easy.
"Sister Xiang Hong, are you alright? Let's go together!"
After Lin Qing finished her work, she saw Lu Xianghong walking out, so she greeted Lu Xianghong and said that Xu Fengjiao, Chen Bin and Wang Haoran had only done two centimeters before going back. Now only Lin Qing and Lu Xianghong were left in the field because they had both done four centimeters.
"Alright, let's go back together!"
Lin Qing returned to the educated youth settlement, washed up, and headed towards Gu Nanxun's house. Just as she reached the door, she smelled the aroma of food.
"Brother Nanxun, you actually cooked."
Lin Qing eagerly pushed open the door and entered the room to find a meal laid out on the table: two dishes and a soup, a stir-fried eggplant, potato, and green pepper dish, a stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a cucumber and egg soup. It looked incredibly tempting. What's more, these vegetables were picked from Old Gu's garden, making them even more delicious.
"Brother Nanxun, you don't need to do it yourself. Have you forgotten that I can do it there?"
Looking at the food on the table, Lin Qing said that she wasn't against Gu Nanxun cooking; on the contrary, she thought men who cook were especially handsome. She just felt that Gu Nanxun's legs were currently immobile, making it difficult for him to cook. Besides, it was indeed convenient for her to cook with the stir-fry machine in her space, and if all else failed, there were so many ready-made ingredients that Gu Nanxun didn't need to do.
"Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so this is a good opportunity for Qingqing to try my cooking."
Gu Nanxun said nonchalantly that he was only having difficulty moving his legs, not that he couldn't move his hands, and he was still quite happy to be able to help Qingqing cook.
“Brother Nanxun, once your leg heals, there will be plenty of opportunities for me to try your cooking. But right now you're not able to move around easily, so why do you have to do it? Besides, we're not short of food.”
After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing disagreed.
"Okay, I'll do whatever Qingqing says. I won't do it often. I'll only do it occasionally. Besides, we have to cook every day, otherwise it will arouse suspicion if someone with ulterior motives sees us. From now on, I'll cook the rice, and when Qingqing comes back, I'll take out the dishes. Is that alright?"
"Okay, it's settled then. From now on, Nanxun just needs to cook the meals. When I get back, I'll take the ingredients out from my spatial storage. That way, we can cook every day and save some effort."
After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing thought it was a very good suggestion, so she happily agreed.
"How was your day? Tired from work?"
“I’m not tired at all. I only took four work points’ worth of work, and I finished it in the morning, so I didn’t have to go in the afternoon.”
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's question, Lin Qing happily replied that she did not feel tired at all, except for a slight itch in the scratched area, everything else was fine.
"That's good. Do what you can, and rest when you're tired."
Gu Nanxun looked at Lin Qing carefully and realized that she didn't seem tired. There were just a few red marks on her face and neck, which must have been scratched by corn leaves.
"Brother Nanxun, the space is going to level up three times today!" Lin Qing suddenly said to Gu Nanxun excitedly. Leveling up three times means they're closer to level five.
"That's wonderful! Qingqing's house is almost finished, and she'll be able to move into her new house soon. It's a double celebration!"
Hearing that the space could be upgraded to level three, Gu Nanxun was also very happy. He hoped that his leg could be healed sooner so that he could help Qingqing with her work. Then he could go to work himself and let Qingqing rest at home.
"Yes, I'll be moving into my new house soon, so you can cook at my place then!"
Upon hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing instantly became excited, as she was finally about to move into the house she had been longing for.
"good."
Lin Qing's emotions also infected Gu Nanxun, and he became happy as well.
"Nanxun-ge, why don't you move over here too?"
Lin Qing said happily that he never intended for Gu Nanxun to stay in this dilapidated house any longer, which is why he did not help Gu Nanxun repair the roof of the dilapidated house.
"I can't move in yet. Qingqing, let's get married after my leg heals! We can live together after we're married."
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun said gently that he could not possibly move in before they got married, as that would be too bad for Qingqing's reputation.
"Nanxun, are you proposing to me?"
After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, Lin Qing blushed and asked.
"Yes, Qingqing, will you marry me?"
Gu Nanxun suddenly grasped Lin Qing's hands, stared intently into her eyes, and asked gently.
"Of course I'm willing."
Looking into Gu Nanxun's gentle eyes, Lin Qing lowered her head shyly. "Brother Nanxun, how could I possibly refuse? I traveled all this way just to find you!"
"Then Qingqing, wait for me. We'll get married after my leg heals."
Upon hearing Lin Qing agree to marry him, Gu Nanxun exclaimed with joy. He was overjoyed that Qingqing had agreed to marry him. He didn't know how to describe his feelings; his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. The thought of marrying Qingqing and growing old together made the world seem so beautiful.
