Chapter 361 Qin Sheng and the Beauty
Qin Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that she wouldn't be so unlucky. She was already cannon fodder and had died at least five times. God wouldn't be so cruel as to leave her without a child.
Although she can't be said to be living a life of ignominy now, she is far inferior to the heroine in the original book. Her only good fortune is that she met the Qin family who doted on her and Su Lu. Apart from these two things, it seems that she has nothing else.
The scrap yard's incredible luck that time was also thanks to Su Lu. If Su Lu hadn't discovered that a batch of tables and chairs had been delivered to the scrap yard, with her luck, she probably wouldn't have even known after everyone had finished searching for them.
Qin Xiaoxiao estimated her luck and realized that she needed to include the Qin family and Su Lu to break her cannon fodder fate.
Fortunately, she returned to her hometown and was protected by the Qin family and pampered by Su Lu, so she was able to escape several life-threatening situations.
Ever since Qin Xiaoxiao told Grandma Qin about her irregular menstruation, Grandma Qin had been very worried. She only breathed a sigh of relief after Qin Xiaoxiao repeatedly assured her.
"Let's wait and see if I can get pregnant during this time. It would be even better if I could."
Seeing that Old Mrs. Qin was frowning, Qin Xiaoxiao regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have told her.
She underestimated her place in Old Mrs. Qin's heart, and she also underestimated Old Mrs. Qin's affection for her.
She hugged Grandma Qin and said, "Grandma, don't worry. It's better to have irregular periods than to have no periods at all. That would be more worrying for you."
Grandma Qin thought about it and realized that it made sense. If she hadn't had her period, she wouldn't be able to get pregnant. Fortunately, there was still some hope.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Qin's brows had relaxed a bit, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she was comforting Old Mrs. Qin, Qin Xiaoxiao was late for work. Qin Feng glanced at her a few times, then turned away angrily and ignored her.
Aunt Song and Aunt Liu pulled her to the newly allocated land. "Why are you so late today? Is something wrong at home? We didn't hear the brigade leader mention it!"
Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand with a smile, "No, I was chatting with my grandma, and we got so excited that we forgot the time."
Aunt Liu and Aunt Song suddenly realized what was going on and stopped asking questions. The three of them sat on the bench and started working.
"It looks like the wheat should be harvested. If the weather is good, there will still be time to plant autumn wheat."
Qin Xiaoxiao knew this; Qinjiagou had planted two crops of wheat last year.
"It's mid-July now. If we start harvesting tomorrow, we might still have enough time."
Aunt Liu nodded. "It'll be in the next couple of days, I heard it from my son."
In Qinjiagou, not much wheat is grown. Most of the land is planted with corn and sorghum, and the remaining land is mostly planted with potatoes and sweet potatoes (otherwise, people wouldn't have enough to eat). There are also a small amount of peanuts and romaine lettuce. Not much soybeans are grown, as they are easy to grow. They are almost all planted in less desirable land, or each household plants a ring around the edge of their own private plot.
There are even fewer mung beans and millet grown, and only a few acres of rice paddies, which are located closest to the river. These fine grains are all used to hand over grain to the state, and the village doesn't keep much for itself. Each family is lucky if they get ten or eight jin (5-4 catties).
Aside from the corn and sorghum that are handed over to the state, we keep them for our own consumption, otherwise they won't last until next autumn's harvest.
There wasn't much work to do in the fields, and it was all finished in the morning. After resting in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao went home and continued making bread, dumplings, and steamed buns. She also baked more than twenty pies and put them in her space.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu also ate dinner at home that evening, but they sent ten pancakes made by Qin Xiaoxiao to the Qin family as a token of their filial piety.
Before the third day had even passed, Qinjiagou mobilized at Qin Feng's command. All the brigades gathered in the wheat fields, preparing to spend two days harvesting all the wheat and storing it in the warehouse before planting autumn wheat.
It's common knowledge that Qin Xiaoxiao isn't good at work, but instead of causing trouble, she took on the role of a logistics support officer.
Things like delivering water, delivering meals, passing on messages, and helping repair tools. Of course, we don't know how to repair tools, but we can learn. The key is to be humble and willing to learn from experienced workers.
This master craftsman was none other than Qin Xiaoxiao's seventh uncle, who was her grandfather's seventh uncle.
Seventh Uncle: Humility? I'd be grateful if you didn't cause me any trouble.
While others were busy harvesting wheat, Qin Xiaoxiao dragged Qin Yue around the village, only to be caught by Qin Sheng when he returned home.
Looking at the tall, handsome man in front of her, who looked similar to Qin Ming, Qin Xiaoxiao blinked and tilted her head to glare at him.
Qin Sheng blinked as well, glancing at the girl next to him who was dressed as a quail.
"What are you doing here...? I see everyone in the fields is harvesting wheat, why aren't you working? What are you doing here?"
Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to shake her head, but her head was in someone else's hands, and she couldn't move it.
She raised her hand to try and pull Qin Sheng's hand off, but no matter how hard she tried, Qin Sheng's large hand remained on her head, unmoving.
Qin Xiaoxiao gave up and could only push Qin Yue out, saying, "Third brother, your dear sister is right here."
Qin Sheng laughed, "You're also my own sister."
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked. "I didn't say no. It's just that Qin Yue and you are siblings from the same mother, so you're closer than I am."
"Come here, Xiaoyue, haven't you seen your third brother in years? Come over and give him a hug."
Qin Xiaoxiao pulled Qin Yue forward with all her might. Qin Yue was not as strong as her and was pushed forward by Qin Xiaoxiao with a long face.
Seeing Qin Sheng's somewhat cold and hard face, Qin Yue forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, "Brother."
Qin Sheng watched his two younger sisters interact with amusement. "Do you think I'm a man-eating beast? What's there to be afraid of?"
Seeing that Qin Sheng remained unmoved, Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and looked at the girl with short hair and wearing a military uniform behind Qin Sheng.
"Sister-in-law, look at my brother! He's been bullying us ever since he got back. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
The girl who had been standing silently behind Qin Sheng lit up when she heard the word "sister-in-law." She smiled, stepped forward, and slapped Qin Sheng's hand off Qin Xiaoxiao's head. She then turned to the side, affectionately took Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, and looked at it from left to right, unable to get enough of it.
"You must be Xiaoxiao, the younger sister of Third Uncle's family."
Qin Xiaoxiao finally broke free from her brother's large hand and looked at the beauty in front of her.
The beauty had a dignified appearance, no, it should be said that she had a heroic air. Her short hair was no longer than Qin Sheng's. She was 1.7 meters tall and only reached Qin Sheng's chin. This was because Qin Sheng was 1.85 meters tall. Otherwise, the two of them would not have looked like a good match.
The beauty has almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, two dimples when she smiles, and rosy lips, but her skin is a bit dark, perhaps from sun exposure.
This "darkness" is relative. Compared to Qin Xiaoxiao, he is a bit darker, but compared to Qin Sheng, he is much fairer.
Qin Xiaoxiao fell in love with this sister-in-law at first sight.
"Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Xiaoxiao."
The beauty laughed heartily and slapped Qin Xiaoxiao on the shoulder. "I knew it was you. Your brother told me that he has two sisters. Xiaoxiao is the prettiest one, and his other sister is more mischievous than a monkey."
Upon hearing this, Qin Sheng was met with two different looks.
One had a smiling face, while the other looked sinister and like he wanted to eat someone.
