After having lunch at home, Su Qingci made an excuse to take a nap.
After locking the door, we went inside the farm villa to enjoy the air conditioning.
The cool and comfortable temperature made her let out a satisfied sigh.
I ran to the freezer, grabbed an ice cream, and collapsed onto the Simmons mattress.
The farm now refreshes for an extra 4 hours each day.
She's not as stingy as she used to be.
The sweltering heat is just too unbearable.
I took a break after finishing my ice cream.
Take out fruits such as strawberries, apples, cherries, and grapes, along with sugar, and bring out a juicer; you're ready to start making popsicles.
The livestock such as chickens, ducks, and geese on the farm, as well as some daily necessities and food in the supermarket, are all non-renewable.
There's only so much of it; once it's eaten up and used up, that's it.
During this period of sweltering summer heat, she had almost finished all her ice cream.
So she decided to make some herself and freeze them in the refrigerator.
After making the ice cream, he fed all the livestock before leaving the farm with a small rechargeable fan.
I fixed the small fan to the head of the bed and sprawled on the cooling mat to take a nap.
It was so hot at noon that we had to postpone our start time until after 2 p.m.
Everyone takes advantage of this break to quickly rest and replenish their energy.
The work bell rang.
One by one, everyone got up, quickly washed their faces, and headed to the tool shed to collect their farm tools.
Li Li called Su Qingci's name twice from outside, and when she heard that Su Qingci was awake, she hurriedly left.
Shen Chuntao stood at the door and knocked on it.
"Qingci, Qingci, are you awake?"
"You can work with me this afternoon. I can work faster, and with me watching over things, you can have an easier time."
Su Qingci opened her eyes groggily, "Sister Chuntao, no need, I don't plan to go."
"I'd be a burden to you if I were in any of your groups."
“I’ve never done this before, and this sudden amount of physical labor is too much for me to handle. I can’t get up, and my whole body aches.”
"Go to work, don't worry about me!"
"If the captain asks me, just say I injured myself this morning and can't get up."
Hearing Su Qingci say this, Shen Chuntao became even more worried.
"Are you feeling very unwell? How about I take a day off and go with you to the clinic?"
"No need, I should be fine after a rest. You go ahead."
"Okay, okay, if you're feeling unwell, don't force yourself to be okay."
After Shen Chuntao left, Su Qingci got up and drank half a can of cola before closing her eyes and going back to sleep.
Anyway, it's impossible for me to go down to the fields anymore, so I'm never going again.
She had never suffered like this in both of her lives combined.
That morning almost cost her her life.
If she hadn't been afraid of implicating Li Li, she wouldn't have waited until the end of the workday to leave.
Liu Dazhu had been keeping an eye on Su Qingci all morning, and when he saw that she hadn't come in the afternoon, he guessed that she had gone to slack off again.
This is a race against time to harvest; so many people are watching.
After immediately assigning production tasks, he ran off towards the educated youth settlement.
After a while, Su Qingci, looking completely devastated, was forcibly dragged out by Liu Dazhu.
"Captain, dear captain, I really don't feel well."
"Uncle Liu, my dear uncle, I can support myself by herding cattle. I don't need to work overtime to earn work points anymore. Please let me go."
Liu Dazhu glared at her, annoyed.
"You brat, don't you know any better?"
"The whole brigade is busy. Even the kids who don't go to school are in the fields carrying bean stalks and helping to pull the ropes."
"You're something else, using the guise of supporting rural development to come here and sleep!"
"Your negative attitude is unacceptable."
As he spoke, Liu Dazhu looked around and lowered his voice.
“At this time, during the rush to harvest, even if you’re just going through the motions, you still have to go to work.”
"Do you realize that this is passivity and negligence?"
"The work in the fields depends on the weather; it's about feeding the hundreds of people in the team."
"After working hard for more than half a year, the harvest is about to be stored in the warehouse."
"If it rains, it will affect the harvest. Where will all the villagers vent their anger then?"
"Can you handle it?"
Su Qingci instantly regained her senses.
"Uncle Liu, I understand what you mean."
"I'll go to work, okay?"
"But I have a small request."
Su Qingci said with a fawning expression, "Uncle Liu, as you know, my family gives me a subsidy every month."
"I can't handle that kind of hardship. How about you see if there's any easier job available?"
"The number of work points doesn't matter~"
"Just don't make me stand out in the blazing sun."
"Uncle Liu, you don't know, I was born prematurely, I have a disease."
"I was born six months after giving birth, and my body is still weak~"
As Su Qingci's words became increasingly outrageous, Liu Dazhu's beard trembled with anger.
Why did the country send him such a useless, lazy donkey?
"Why don't you take a sun hat and go to the dry beans in the open?"
"Once you've finished your work, you can take a break."
"You only get five work points a day, so you might as well be lazy."
As he spoke, Liu Dazhu led Su Qingci toward Daping.
On the open ground, Song Jingzhou was squatting under a big tree enjoying the shade when he saw Liu Dazhu arriving with his men in the distance, and he quickly rushed out.
Pick up the bundles of bean stalks from the ground and scatter them evenly on the stone slab.
“Song boy, you take Su Zhiqing and help dry the beans. Gather all the beans that are almost dry together and pound them out the first time.”
