Chapter 28 028 Little Stool
Qin Xiaoxiao, exhausted from making such a big blunder, lay helplessly on the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at the ceiling.
It's so embarrassing!
She's probably the weakest of all the female characters who transmigrated into the book after the apocalypse.
What a disgrace to women in the apocalypse!
With a large blanket thrown over her face, Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep in shame.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't go in the afternoon either. Grandma Qin said that her granddaughter was injured and needed to rest.
The villagers had no objections, but the educated youth had a lot to say. However, no one paid attention to their opinions, and they had to suppress any other thoughts they might have, unless they were not afraid of offending the brigade leader.
Qin Xiaoxiao took a break less than ten minutes after starting work on her first day, and didn't return to work full of energy until the second day.
The next day, Qin Xiaoxiao got up and washed up very quickly, then ate breakfast, and went to the fields with water and snacks in high spirits.
Qin Ye finished the remaining work from yesterday, and she successfully earned four work points.
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but cover her face again.
She did less than a meter of work in less than ten minutes and earned four work points. She felt guilty!
“Xiaoxiao, your uncle said you should go work on that piece of land.”
Grandma Qin took Qin Xiaoxiao to another wheat field. When they arrived, they were surprised to find that it was less than three-tenths of an acre.
Grandma Qin avoided eye contact with Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Your uncle said this land belongs to you, and you'll get three work points whenever you finish the work."
This wheat field is close to the river and is growing well, but there aren't many of them. However, beyond this wheat field lies a vast expanse of fertile land, which is the domain of manual laborers. People like Qin Xiaoxiao don't even deserve to look at it.
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently, "I understand, Grandma. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
After Qin Xiao finished speaking, she walked into the wheat field. Old Mrs. Qin waited for her to squat down before leaving.
The ground here is soft, making it easier to pull weeds. Qin Xiaoxiao clearly felt it was easier than yesterday, but it was still very tiring.
She had just pulled three weeds when she heard Qin Feng call her.
"Little one, look what good things Grandpa has brought you."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Qin Feng carrying a small stool, running excitedly into the wheat field and arriving in front of her in the blink of an eye.
She's doing her work, so why is he carrying that little stool?
"What do you mean? Is it for me?"
Qin Feng nodded excitedly, "Yes, Grandpa brought it for you from home. Sit here and take your time, so your legs won't go numb from squatting for too long."
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Grandpa, I really can do it, you have to believe me."
I'm not as weak as you guys think. I've survived the apocalypse, after all. I won't say I'm that powerful, but I can still take on two people at once.
Although her body hasn't fully recovered and her superpowers haven't returned, as long as the spiritual spring in the space remains, she will get better day by day, and her strength will increase. While she may not be able to fully recover to her post-apocalyptic strength, she will definitely be four or five times stronger than a normal man.
Moreover, she had learned military boxing and free fighting in the apocalypse, and those two skills alone were enough to handle ten ordinary men, so she could protect herself without any problem.
Qin Feng shoved the small stool into Qin Xiaoxiao's hands, saying, "Take it if I give it to you. There's a reason I'm making you sit and work. Don't worry about anything else. I'm here to help you. Just play here."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand, turned around, and left.
Qin Xiaoxiao, looking completely bewildered, held a small stool in her hand and stared speechlessly at the sky.
Playing around? She's trying her best too, okay?
Qin Xiaoxiao let out a long breath, looked at the dozen or so small weeds on the ground, and reluctantly put the small stool on the ground and sat down with a thud.
Since she doesn't rely on work points to make a living anyway, and the old man has already given her a lot of "favors," she might as well just be a good girl.
Qin Xiaoxiao sat on a small stool, pulling weeds while idly looking up at the wheat field opposite her, her eyes flashing with admiration.
In rural areas today, everything is still done manually. Spring and autumn harvests are the most tiring times. Even at other times, there is plenty of work waiting for them. Anyone who can earn more than ten work points here is a capable person. They do as much work as people working on construction sites in later generations, and sometimes even more.
"Hmm~?"
Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have witnessed a rather unpleasant scene from the wheat field across the way.
Everyone else was working hard, but there was one person who was just like her, no, just like yesterday, squatting on the ground for a long time without moving, and occasionally looking up and looking around. It was obvious that she was just slacking off.
Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly became excited.
That person earns ten work points across the street, and she actually saw them slacking off here. This person must be...
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!
The man opposite her suddenly looked up at Qin Xiaoxiao, and Qin Xiaoxiao also saw the man's face clearly.
The moment Qin Xiaoxiao saw the man's face clearly, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at the man paddling across from her, not even daring to blink.
This person is so good-looking!
Is this what the legendary male fox spirit looks like?
With red lips and white teeth, a face as beautiful as jade, and a graceful figure, her fox-like eyes sparkled with a thousand charms, and her jade hands were like the most exquisite porcelain in the world. To see them move across the mud was to desecrate them.
With a high, straight nose, bright, lively eyes, and a wicked smile on his thin lips, he exuded ruthlessness.
"Huh?"
Was he mocking her?
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.
Hmph! Although he was handsome, his mockery angered her.
Being good-looking is nothing special!
She'd seen plenty of handsome men in her past life, so to her, his looks were just... average, nothing special. She wasn't bad-looking either!
Although she's a bit thin, she has the natural beauty to back her up. Give her another three months, and she'll definitely look even better than him.
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, lowered her head and focused on pulling weeds, refusing to look at the man opposite her again.
Su Lu had just returned home after working for two days and one night. He wanted to catch up on his sleep, but his mother grabbed his ear and forced him to go to the fields to earn work points. She even threw him into the first team. Didn't she think that someone like him could earn ten work points?
He might not even earn ten work points a month!
While paddling and yawning, Su Lu suddenly noticed someone staring at him. He followed the burning gaze and saw an unfamiliar face.
This face is quite good-looking, only slightly less so than his.
Looking over there, the woman was even lazier than him, sitting on a stool pulling weeds.
Haha, finally someone in this brigade has earned fewer work points than him.
Su Lu was pleased, but he didn't want to be stared at like that, so a look of disdain flashed involuntarily in his eyes.
Sure enough, the woman opposite him stopped looking at him. But wasn't that eye roll a bit too big? Any bigger and her eyeballs would pop out.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was no longer looking at him, Su Lu realized his goal had been achieved, smiled, lowered his head, and continued paddling.
Earning ten work points is impossible, but earning two work points is still possible.
The morning flew by, and Qin Xiaoxiao made great progress today, pulling out all the weeds within a five-meter radius.
Looking at her morning's work, Qin Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction.
