Chapter 6 Your mouth stinks! Didn't you brush your teeth?
"Need not."
Lu Mingchuan is very sensitive to other people's gazes, and what he needs least is sympathy.
Su Heng really didn't feel sympathy, she just wanted to help in a friendly way.
Look, he walked out with a crutch in one hand and a porcelain basin in the other.
The strong forearm muscles bulge, and the blue veins appear when exerting force, which shows that his hands are very strong.
Su Heng followed him out and saw that his back was not bent even when he was using crutches.
Very good, very strong. I hope I can be as strong when eating tomorrow morning.
Su Heng did not forget to lock the door before she lay down to sleep.
Go to bed early and wake up early.
The early morning sunlight shines into the house through the window, giving a feeling of peaceful and tranquility.
Maybe it was because her chest was pressed down while she was sleeping on her stomach, but Su Heng had a nightmare that she was being chased by a murderer all night.
When I woke up, I just felt back pain.
The energy in the tendons and veins recovered a little bit, and Su Heng left some for the waist and back when treating the wound on the back of the head.
A subtle warm current flowed in, and the aches and pains all over her body finally eased a little.
get up!
A new day, new work points!
Su Heng didn't dare to comb her hair hard, for fear of pulling the wound on her head.
Fortunately, her hair was of good quality, naturally straight and hard, and it didn't get tangled much after a night's sleep.
She combed her hair gently, but found it impossible to tie it up, so Su Heng sat in front of the mirror and braided a low pigtail for herself.
It was braided very loosely, and she tied a floral hairband to show off.
The original owner had a pretty good aesthetic, a very pastoral and fresh style.
She found a bag of tooth powder on the cabinet. She had never used tooth powder before, so it was quite novel.
After washing up in the yard, I felt hungry.
There was only one egg left and no other meat in the kitchen, so Su Heng thought about it and scooped a bowl of flour to make an omelet.
The bread alone was a bit dry, so I cooked some porridge.
When today's breakfast was served on the table, Lu Mingchuan was already sitting in his seat on time.
Su Heng snorted before sitting down.
The porridge was placed in a large ceramic bowl, and Lu Mingchuan calmly served himself some.
"There's no meat at home."
Lu Mingchuan looked at Su Heng, so what?
These days, farmers may not be able to eat meat once a month, and they are lucky to be able to have enough to eat. The same is true for city dwellers.
It is rare to eat meat every day.
Su Heng couldn't do that. It was bad enough that she couldn't get enough to eat in the apocalypse, but now she had such a good living environment, she couldn't just make do with it.
"I'm going to the team today to ask someone to buy some chicks and ducklings to raise. You can build a fence at home, right? I'll put them in a pen at the back of the yard so they don't run into the front yard and make a mess."
Chickens and ducks poop wherever they go, and Su Heng doesn't want to step on their poop when she goes out, as that would make the yard smell bad.
Lu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment as he listened to her chattering about her plans.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Heng asked again: "Did you hear that?"
"Not deaf."
Su Heng took it as his agreement and felt a little better.
Sure enough, when people are busy, they hate to see others idle the most.
After dinner, Su Heng went to the room to get some money, and then went to the rice field as usual with a kettle and a straw hat.
Her face was so striking that she attracted many eyes as soon as she walked past, most of whom were young men.
Chen Xiangnan was there too, but when he thought of what Su Heng said yesterday, he stopped going over.
The sweet potato seedlings were planted yesterday, and today we are planting corn. The team leader assigned a task area to each person.
Two people are assigned to a field. The front of the field has been plowed, so all they have to do now is to hoe the soil and sow the seeds.
Su Heng was in the same group with a young girl who was a little tanned but had very elegant facial features.
She didn't like Su Heng very much, and felt a little jealous when she looked at that delicate face.
They are all rural girls, and they are all ugly, but she is so outstanding in appearance.
She looks like a fairy, making people feel a little inferior when they see her.
The girl took the hoe and said to her bluntly, "I want to earn full work points, so don't hold me back!"
Planting corn is easier, eight centimeters a day, two centimeters less than the hard work of men plowing the soil, but it is still not a small amount.
Su Heng thought this girl was quite straightforward. "Then I'll try my best."
"What do you mean by try your best? It means you must!" The girl seemed to be full of energy.
Before Su Heng could say anything, another dark and thin girl passing by spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Chen Xiang, you're having a hard time today."
"What's it got to do with you? You're such a chatterbox. Mind your own business!" Chen Xiang rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaocui.
Then he said to Su Heng, "Did you hear that? I'm not going to make any money just to save face."
Su Heng found it a little funny and responded gently.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Since she did this, Chen Xiang couldn't keep a cold face anymore.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaocui said rudely: "Oh, you talk as if you can really do it."
Su Heng is too lazy to care but she is not without temper.
Hearing this, she covered her nose pretentiously and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Xiang asked innocently, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Heng pinched her throat and said softly, "Where does the stench come from?"
Wang Xiaocui was also puzzled: "Is there something wrong with your nose? Where does it stink?"
Su Heng moved away from her after hearing this, frowned, and asked softly, "Didn't you brush your teeth this morning? Your breath stinks."
"you!"
Chen Xiang laughed unceremoniously at the side, and passers-by also laughed when they heard it. Wang Xiaocui was used to talking nonsense and had offended many people.
Wang Xiaocui didn't know for a moment whether she really had bad breath or Su Heng was mocking her. She felt embarrassed at being laughed at and ran away angrily.
The two of them were too lazy to pay attention to it. They took the tools and seeds and went to the fields.
Seeing that Su Heng didn't look like a worker, Chen Xiang took a hoe and started digging the ditch herself.
To plant corn, you must first dig up the soft soil, throw in the seeds, and then cover it.
She was a simple farm girl, and her hands had calluses from work at a young age.
Su Heng stood behind her, holding the seeds and throwing them, then said, "Let's switch to the next ridge. You throw the seeds."
Chen Xiang gave her a displeased look and said, "Otherwise, you want me to plow the whole field."
She is not a fool. She would be exhausted to death turning such a large piece of land!
Su Heng coughed lightly. It seemed that she was working too hard.
It's not too tiring for the two of them to take turns working together.
During the break, Su Heng peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. Seeing Chen Xiang beside her, she also took out two and gave them to her.
Chen Xiang was very surprised, but she couldn't bear to refuse, so she thanked him shyly: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Su Heng smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Chen Xiang also laughed, and the two of them sat on the edge of the field to enjoy the breeze for a while, then got up and continued working.
The morning passed quickly, and when finishing work, Su Heng went to ask Chen Xiang for information.
"Do you know if anyone has chicks for sale? Ducklings would be fine too."
Chen Xiang actually knew, "My uncle's family just hatched a nest of chicks. Do you want to raise them?"
Su Heng nodded: "Then take me to ask."
"Okay, let's go." Chen Xiang agreed readily.
Su Heng ran into Song Wan and greeted her.
Song Wan was a little uncomfortable, but still nodded in response, which made Chen Xiang look gossipy.
"Why are you greeting Song Zhiqing? Don't you like Cheng Zhiqing?"
This girl is too straightforward.
"Who said I like Cheng Zhiqing? I'm already married. Where did this rumor come from?" How could Su Heng admit it?
"Don't you like it? But when Wang Xiaocui said that before, you didn't refute her. You even leaned towards Cheng Zhiqing." Chen Xiang was a little unconvinced.
It's so weird to discuss this with the person involved! This girl is really stupid.
Su Heng quickly explained, "I was just too tired and fell there by chance. I was just exhausted! I didn't hear what Wang Xiaocui was saying at all."
"That's right, Wang Xiaocui always talks nonsense. I see she keeps staring at Cheng Zhiqing, not considering that those city people will leave sooner or later, so why would they care about us?"
This girl is quite clear-headed. At that time, few city people are really willing to stay in the farm team.
In such an era, there are many people who get married in the countryside and then abandon their wives and children after returning to the city.
But there is no need to feel inferior because of this.
