Unexpectedly, Li Aihong said, "Today is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and it's time to start work. The team leader is gathering people to go to the threshing ground."
"Ah? Start work?" Bai Ruozhen's face turned pale. Oh my God, is it time to work? She doesn't know how to do it and doesn't want to do it.
Seeing her sad face, Li Aihong and Wang Jun burst out laughing. Wang Jun comforted her, "Don't worry, you don't have to work today."
Bai Ruozhen perked up instantly. "Really?" He felt embarrassed after saying that and smiled. "I'm just... I'm just afraid that I might not do my job well and delay everyone else's work."
Everyone else smiled. Li Aihong and Wang Jun were the only ones in their family with experience in farm work. After all, they had been there for over three years and were familiar with all sorts of tasks. Li Aihong glanced at Bai Ruozhen and felt a pang of worry for her. It was obvious that this girl wasn't cut out for hard work. It wouldn't matter if she missed work later, but if she couldn't earn any work points, she'd have trouble eating.
"Don't worry, learn slowly, and then you can follow me." Li Aihong made up her mind that she would take the little girl with her from now on. If necessary, she would do more work. She couldn't let her starve.
"That's right, don't worry, we are here." Wang Jun also said with a smile. Although they are not very good at work, they are still better than Bai Ruozhen.
Bai Ruozhen burst out laughing, "Thank you, sisters."
As they talked, several people got up, washed their faces and brushed their teeth in a hurry, and walked towards the threshing ground without even eating breakfast.
Perhaps because the Chinese New Year had just passed, the villagers and educated youth were a little lacking in energy and were not very proactive.
Bai Ruozhen didn't understand all this, so he followed Li Aihong and the others obediently all the way to the threshing ground.
There were some people standing in twos and threes on the threshing ground. When Li Ming saw Bai Ruozhen and the others, he came over to take care of them. "Comrade Bai Ruozhen, you're here really early."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at the captain standing on the big stone platform with a sullen face and chuckled twice. It would be better to say less.
Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia both knew Li Ming and greeted him. Li Ming said a few words and wanted to say a few more to Bai Ruozhen.
At this time, Qiu Lanying came over and looked at Li Ming unkindly and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Zhenzhen, why don't you wear more clothes? You'll be cold." As she spoke, she tucked Bai Ruozhen's fallen hair behind her ear very naturally, "Lao Wu called, they have already arrived in the provincial capital."
Bai Ruozhen was stunned, not understanding why Qiu Lanying told her this. Li Ming, who was standing beside her, looked at Qiu Lanying and then at Bai Ruozhen, and both found it strange.
When almost everyone arrived, the team leader Li Xianjin stood on the big stone platform with his hands behind his back and a sullen face, arranging the work.
In short, Bai Ruozhen heard that those who want to plow the soil will start plowing the soil, and those who want to go fishing will go fishing in the sea. In any case, no one should be idle.
The more Bai Ruozhen listened to the end, the paler his face became. Oh my god, this is too terrible. I still have to turn the soil and pull out weeds. What should I do?
At this moment, she suddenly understood Gu Xiaoli's instructions, to be lazy and pretend to be sick. Oh, she didn't want to work.
Qiu Lanying, who was standing by, saw that her face had turned pale and thought she was sick, "Hey, Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you?"
The others looked over, their faces filled with concern and worry.
Bai Ruozhen was so ashamed that he almost crawled into the ground. He stammered, "It's okay."
"Is it because of the strong wind?" Qiu Lanying touched her forehead with her hand, "No, go back quickly, don't freeze again."
Having said that, he pulled Bai Ruozhen away without paying attention to other people's gazes.
"Auntie, I'm fine." Bai Ruozhen had never been so embarrassed in her life. How could she say that she was scared by something? If people knew about this, they would laugh at her to death.
Seeing that she insisted, Qiu Lanying stopped pulling her, but she figured it out after a little thought. She laughed in her heart, thinking that this girl was afraid of working.
Don't be afraid, who is she?
She is the captain's mother-in-law!
As long as she asks, would her son-in-law dare not give her face?
After the show, Qiu Lanying took Bai Ruozhen behind her. When they saw that most people had left, Qiu Lanying suddenly smiled. Bai Ruozhen looked at her, not understanding what she was laughing at.
Qiu Lanying whispered teasingly, "Are you afraid of doing farm work?"
Bai Ruozhen felt even more embarrassed when his secret was exposed, and his face turned red.
"That's nothing." Qiu Lanying laughed. "Do you think you're the only one who doesn't want to do this? Do you believe that no one is willing to do this?"
Bai Ruozhen looked up at her in disbelief.
Qiu Lanying looked into her moist eyes, liking them more and more. She explained, "If it weren't for the distribution of food based on work points, I guess no one would come to work. As for you educated youth, how many of you can actually work? None of you can, and you're not the only one, so you don't have to worry at all."
Bai Ruozhen looked at her weakly and said embarrassedly, "But I don't know anything."
"Don't be afraid." Qiu Lanying looked at her happily, "I'll go find the captain later and ask him to arrange an easy job for you."
Unfortunately, these words did not comfort Bai Ruozhen. For a queen who couldn't even wash clothes, any work was difficult, no matter how light it was.
well.
Bai Ruozhen lowered his head, feeling that the difficult days had finally arrived.
Qiu Lanying looked silent, but in her heart she was thinking about marrying him home as soon as possible. Although her family had no worries about food and drink, she couldn't support Bai Ruozhen every day. It would be unfair and people would gossip about her. It would be different if she took him home. Even if she didn't do anything, she would still have enough to eat.
The two separated quickly and Qiu Lanying went to find Li Xianjin. Li Xianjin was also worried about starting work tomorrow. Now the enthusiasm of the villagers is gradually declining. When work starts tomorrow, it is unknown how many people will refuse to work because they still have some food stored at home.
Qiu Lanying asked, "What do you plan to do with those newly arrived educated youth?"
