"Turning the soil, what else can I do?" Li Xianjin was a little afraid of his mother-in-law, but the key point was that he was very annoyed now, and his tone was no longer respectful as usual.
Qiu Lanying was rarely angry. "Do you think they are so delicate that they can turn the soil?"
"I'm worried too." Li Xianjin wiped his hair. "Mom, do you have any good ideas?"
Qiu Lanying said, "Let them mend the fishing nets."
Li Xianjin slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, let them mend the fishing nets." There were four girls and one boy among the newly arrived educated youth. The boys could easily be assigned to work in the fields, while the girls could just mend the fishing nets.
Qiu Lanying left happily after achieving her goal, but suddenly stopped as she walked out. Their Zhenzhen didn't know how to sew insoles. How could she mend fishing nets if she couldn't even sew insoles?
She suddenly felt that she had really lost more than she gained.
When they got home, Gu Changzheng looked at him while smoking his pipe, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Lanying said, "I feel like I did something very unreliable."
But as for whether it was reliable or not, no one could say for sure. After all, mending a fishing net was different from sewing insoles. Qiu Lanying comforted herself, "Maybe it's okay."
Bai Ruozhen was not really comforted by Qiu Lanying's words, because for someone who had never done anything and didn't know how to do anything, even the easiest work would be difficult for her.
What's more, it's not certain whether the easy work Qiu Lanying mentioned is really easy for her.
Sure enough, when Bai Ruozhen arrived at the threshing ground the next day to listen to the team leader's work arrangements, he was dumbfounded.
Mending fishing nets...
She can't even sew socks.
Zhu Guixia, Feng Qiujuan and others were also worried about her, but then they thought it was a good idea. Since they were all together, the worst that could happen was that they could just do more work.
After the show, some went to the fields, and some went to sea.
Zhu Guixia, Feng Qiujuan, Zhao Laidie and Bai Ruozhen were taken by Wei Nan to mend the fishing nets.
Wei Nan said, "Mending a fishing net is quite simple. You will learn it after following along once."
Everyone else responded, and Bai Ruozhen also responded reluctantly.
Zhao Lai Di glanced at her sideways and asked, "You don't know how to mend a fishing net, do you?"
Bai Ruozhen glanced at her and really didn't want to pay any attention to Zhao Lai Di.
Zhao Lai Di said proudly, "Sister Nan Nan, I have good craftsmanship and I will definitely be able to repair the fishing net."
"Yeah." Wei Nan was really fed up with Zhao Lai Di, so he just responded and didn't say anything else.
Arriving at the village brigade compound, Wei Nan asked the brigade accountant to open the door, dragged out the worn fishing net, and took out the fishing line to demonstrate to them. After demonstrating it once, he asked them, "Do you understand?"
Everyone except Bai Ruozhen nodded.
"Zhenzhen, is there a problem?" Wei Nan looked at Bai Ruozhen.
Bai Ruozhen's face flushed red as she wanted to say she hadn't learned it, but seeing Zhao Lai Di's gloating face, she couldn't say it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."
Wei Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that we know how to do it, let's get started. We need to repair the fishing nets as soon as possible. The villagers who fish still need them." As he said that, he distributed a piece of the worn-out fishing net on hand to everyone.
Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. Xiahe Village is close to the sea and goes out to sea to fish naturally. However, 70% of the catch must be handed over to the commune, and the villagers can keep the remaining 30% for their families.
Zhu Guixia and others quickly started to sew. Bai Ruozhen hurriedly unfolded the fishing net in front of her, then held the line at a loss.
Zhao Lai Di was good at sewing and was particularly skillful when mending the fishing net. After mending a little, she noticed Bai Ruozhen was still staring at the fishing net, so she sneered, "If you don't know how to mend it, just say so. Why are you pretending to know when you don't?"
Although Bai Ruozhen felt ashamed, he still looked at Zhao Lai Di with grievance, "Is Sister Lai Di so happy that I can't do this?"
"You!" Zhao Lai Di wanted to say why are you pretending, but when she saw that the other people looked at her with strange eyes, she immediately shut up. She didn't care what Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia thought now. What she cared about was Wei Nan's opinion. It was obvious that everyone else in their room listened to Wei Nan. What if Wei Nan had a bad impression of her and excluded her? She couldn't go back to her original room.
Wei Nan glanced at Zhao Lai Di, then said to Bai Ruozhen, "It's not normal if you haven't done it before. Learn slowly, there's no rush."
Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia were worried about her, so they moved faster. In the afternoon, Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan finished mending their own wounds, but Bai Ruozhen was still struggling. Not to mention finishing it, he could barely get half of it done. What was worse was that he even got two blisters.
Before, Zhu Guixia and Feng Qiujuan just wanted to finish the work quickly and come to help Bai Ruozhen, but they didn't expect that Bai Ruozhen's hands were broken.
Bai Ruozhen gritted her teeth and held on, thinking that she was probably the most pitiful queen in the world. Which queen would have to mend fishing nets? She didn't go into the sea to fish.
"Why are there blisters?" Zhu Guixia was distressed by the two blisters. She pulled her aside and said, "Sit here and wait. We will help you heal it."
Feng Qiujuan was also heartbroken with tears in her eyes. They were used to doing rough housework at home, but Zhenzhen was different. It was obvious that he had never done any housework before.
Neither of them spoke, but their hands moved very quickly. Bai Ruozhen felt extremely ashamed and felt that he was so useless.
Soon, the two of them finished weaving Bai Ruozhen's net.
Just then, Li Xianjin came over to inspect their work. Seeing that they had mended several nets, he was very satisfied and said, "Well done. Continue to mend the other nets tomorrow."
"Captain, I want to protest." Zhao Laidie suddenly raised her hand.
Bai Ruozhen took one look at her and felt that she was going to cause trouble.
As expected, Zhao Lai Di glanced at Bai Ruozhen unkindly, "She didn't mend the net, someone else did it for her. It's not fair."
"Oh?" Li Xianjin smiled, thinking that this little girl was really capable of causing trouble. He put away his smile and looked at her, "The people who helped her didn't object, so why do you object? If you have the ability, you can let others help you. I only see whether you finish the work. I don't care who does it. If others are happy to put the work points on her, it's none of your business."
