Liang Qi glanced around with an expressionless face. Everyone saw the fierceness in the woman's eyes and didn't dare to say anything.
They were just whispering in each other's ears. Liang Qi was pulled by Sun Huimin to stand in front of her so that no one would gossip.
Soon it was Sun Huimin's turn. The clerk raised his eyebrows and asked her to go in and get a hoe. Sun Huimin happily waited for Liang Qi on the side.
The reporter also noticed Liang Qi following behind Sun Huimin. "You frail woman, running over here to get a hoe? Do you think you can swing one? This is a man's job, with some exceptions, of course."
He wasn't being discriminatory, he was just expressing his opinion.
Before Liang Qi could finish, Sun Huimin blurted out, "She can swing it. When she was little, she was much more capable than me. After getting married, she became a lady. Now that she's free of her burdens, she can swing it even more."
Some people nearby laughed when they heard it. They simply thought what Sun Huimin said was funny, and they were not laughing at Liang Qi.
Most people in the village knew that Liang Qi was an honest man. If he had done such a wicked thing, the Liu family would have wanted to kick him out, but they never did and they ended up just getting divorced.
There are some jealous and gossipy people who can't stand seeing others doing well, so they spread rumors.
Liang Qi smiled and said, "Give me one." Indeed, men only affect the speed at which I swing the hoe.
Clerk Li looked at the person involved, and he no longer had the dejected and cowardly look he had before.
Now he straightens his back, smiles gracefully, and the smile on his lips gives people an unfathomable feeling.
Since the person involved said so, he didn't say anything more and asked him to take a handful: "You guys finish digging the one acre of Bojiwan today."
When hearing about this piece of land, Liang Qi remembered the original owner's memory. It was a very regular piece of land, rectangular in shape, and easy to divide.
"How many of us are there? Secretary Li." Sun Huimin asked what Liang Qi wanted to ask.
"There are four people to dig. There are two more people plus you two, so that makes four people. Someone will divide the area among you when you get there."
"Who are the other two people?" Sun Huimin wanted to know who the other two people were.
"You'll know when you get there." Li Jishi was busy taking notes and had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
"Mr. Li, can I leave work early after I finish today's work? It won't affect my full work points, right?" Liang Qi thought of finishing work early and went up the mountain to look for wild vegetables.
"Ah! Yes, it's possible. It won't affect work points." This was the first time someone asked Li Shengli this question. Generally, no one would finish their work early.
"Okay, thank you!" He then continued, "Let's go Huimin, you'll understand when you get there."
"Ah, oh."
The two men carried hoes on their shoulders and strode towards the land allocated to them.
"This woman is divorced. She must be mad. With those thin arms and legs, how can she swing a hoe? She's lucky she didn't get dragged away by the hoe."
"No way, I think he's in good spirits and full of energy now."
"We'll know if it works when we get off work tonight."
Several women watched the two people walking away before they dared to talk like this. At that moment, the person who looked at them felt uneasy.
"Qiqi, what did you mean by that? Do you want to finish early today?"
"Yes, let's finish digging early and go home to see the kids." Liang Qi thought about how he was leaving in the morning. Although he had prepared everything, he was still worried.
As a soul in the afterlife, she has never given birth to a child and has no experience in raising children. She has watched short videos before and has seen some children who are easy to raise and some who are difficult. Raising a child is a professional issue and she is still in the exploratory stage.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. I'll try to go home early today." Sun Huimin thought about how she had to work hard today. She couldn't leave work at a certain time like before. She also had to help Qi Qi today.
"Thank you!" Liang Qi didn't say anything.
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the work site, where someone was already digging.
It seems that the division members have been sorted out!
Liang Qi and Sun Huimin walked up and said, "We are here," Sun Huimin's loud voice was really effective.
"Hui Min is here! Come and work hard."
"Oh my god, why was this lazy Hu assigned to the team in our area?" Sun Huimin said in a low voice, gritting her teeth without moving her lips.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Go ahead and do it."
"Sister Chen, why are you so diligent? You came so early. Thank you for your hard work." Liang Qi said as he walked in, took out a handful of fried peas from his pocket and handed it over quietly.
Chen Qingqing looked at the hand Liang Qi handed over, which was full of peas. Yesterday, her son was clamoring to eat fried beans. The family had ground the beans into pea flour, so there were still beans that could be fried.
After staring for a few seconds, Liang Qi opened his pocket and put the money in without anyone else seeing.
"Do you want me to mark you less?" Chen Qingqing said in a low voice, staring at the marking ash in her hand.
"No, I want Sister Chen to divide it into four equal parts so that everyone will be fair. Also, after we finish the work in the afternoon, I hope Sister Chen will bring the note-taker with her as a witness. I want to finish the work early and go home early, otherwise someone will cheat." Liang Qi said quickly and quietly.
Chen Qingqing looked at Hu Youlai who was talking to Sun Huimin in the distance. Mr. Hu was indeed a cheater and ordinary people could not control him.
Today I saw the peas that my son likes, so I made an exception. Normally, I ignore these small bribes.
Liang Qi thought that this matter would normally follow this procedure. Whether you bring it with you or not, you still have to come for inspection and record the work points.
I just finished the work early today and went home, but there is a lazy old man here who is very troublesome. People who rely on their seniority to bully others are not very likable. The less trouble I can do, the better.
"That's no problem." Chen Qingqing was a little surprised by Liang Qi's request. She thought it was just to get a smaller share of the land. Many people had done that, and she usually refused. She didn't expect that what was proposed was not really a request for her.
"Thank you, Sister Chen." Liang Qi said in a low voice.
"You're welcome,"
After the two finished talking, Liang Qi slowly walked inside. It was too cold in the morning and no one wanted to choose the shady place.
"The painting is finished, you can choose one for yourselves." Chen Qingqing glanced at Liang Qi and said to the others.
"This is my only piece. I can't stand the cold when I get old." Hu Youlai said hurriedly when he heard the voice.
"I'm fine with anything. Just give me the rest after you've chosen." The voice that was heard was the little boy Chen Zhenguo.
"It's you, little kid! Why aren't you following your grandfather?" Hu Youlai said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Little kid, you're here," Sun Huimin looked at the little kid and greeted him warmly.
Chen Zhenguo glanced at Liang Qi on the other end. Liang Qi also heard that it was Xiaowa, so he raised his head and greeted him: "Good morning, shall we get started?"
"Get to work, keep working, and try to get off work early and go home." Sun Huimin remembered Liang Qi saying this.
"I'll be leaving first. There's still other areas to be marked out." Chen Qingqing said as she looked at the people who had already made arrangements.
"Hey! Okay, thank you for your hard work." Several people watched Chen Qingqing leave.
