She had advised her sister to change to a simpler job a long time ago, but her sister was stubborn and didn't want to cause her trouble, so she never changed.
It's a very hot day now, and my little sister is so afraid of the sun. She is really afraid that if the sun gets any stronger, she will get heatstroke and faint.
"Okay, second sister, I'll listen to you."
"Listen to Second Sister, she's not short of food, so there's no need to fight so hard... Didn't you just say that? Do you agree?"
"Yeah! I really can't do the work this summer." Song Tanglan didn't have to be the one to earn those work points. She didn't want to ruin her second sister's reputation, so she didn't let her change jobs.
After hearing the exact answer, Song Tangcheng didn't even make lunch and hurried to the old house.
Song Tangzi had just learned how to hold a child. She had been playing with Mumu inside. When she heard them talking in the yard, she came out curiously to take a look.
Unexpectedly, I saw my second sister hurried out the door, and asked curiously: "Fourth sister, what's happening to my second sister?"
"Go find me an easier job." Song Tanglan was so tired that she lay down on the stone table. The cool air made her face and body feel a lot more comfortable.
Song Tangzi was also startled by her weak appearance. He hurried to her side and saw that her face was red. He quickly took out the chilled watermelon from the kitchen to cool her down.
"Fourth sister, your hands and face are red. Why don't we go see a doctor to see if you have heatstroke?"
"It's okay. Don't we have some chilled mung bean soup and watermelon? Just eat them and you'll be fine." Song Tanglan knew that her skin only looked bad, and there was actually nothing wrong with her body. She was just too tired.
But her words did not convince Song Tangzi. Instead, they made him so anxious that tears came out. He scooped a basin of water from a vat not far away for her to wash.
When Song Tangcheng came back, her face was full of smiles. "Little sister, it's settled. I've asked for leave for you this afternoon. You can rest well at home. Starting tomorrow, you can go with Xiaohu to cut grass for the pigs. Bring me along to help you. I'll be the only one at home taking care of Mumu."
"Okay, thank you, second sister." Song Tanglan was very happy to hear this. At least going up the mountain to cut grass for pigs was not as tiring as working in the fields.
"We are a family, why be polite? You should take a rest first. I will call you when lunch is ready. Xiaozi, don't disturb your fourth sister. Let her rest for a while."
"good."
Song Tanglan returned to her room, simply washed herself with water, and then took out the cold cream to apply on her body, neck, and hands. When the cool feeling came up, she felt less uncomfortable.
Song Tangcheng watched her go back to her room to rest, then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking two dishes, preparing for lunch, and also cleaned the medicine pot.
Wait until Cheng Fangyuan brings back the prescribed anti-heat medicine and then make it for her.
Song Tanglan ate the bowl of bitter medicine and lunch, and then continued to rest.
But she didn't know that because she didn't come to work in the afternoon, everyone in the third team was talking about her.
"Su Zhiqing, why didn't the little Song Zhiqing who usually hangs out with you come this afternoon?"
Su Tao didn't go to see Song Tanglan in the afternoon, so he didn't know the situation now. He didn't know how to answer, so it was Aunt Li on the other side who spoke.
"That young educated youth had a heat stroke. He went to the doctor and got some medicine. He's still lying at home!"
When the aunt who had asked the question heard Aunt Li's reply, she suddenly realized and said, "He got heatstroke. But since Xiao Song was wearing so many clothes, it's not surprising that he got heatstroke."
"Yeah, I asked that young educated youth to take it off before, but she said she would get tanned if she did."
"As a young girl, it's normal to love beauty. Plus, my skin is so delicate. My neck has been in the sun all morning and it's already red. If you ask me to take off my coat, my neck and face will get sunburned!"
"I saw what you said, too. The little girl's skin was so tender you could pinch water out of it. Looking at her sunburned neck, I felt so bad. This morning, I saw she was very pale, so I asked her to rest under a tree, but she didn't and came back a little while later."
Aunt Li said quickly when she heard this. "Yes, Xiao Song is not afraid of causing trouble for us. Didn't you see that her lips were all white when she returned?"
Su Tao didn't notice Aunt Li's expression, thinking what she said was true, and asked anxiously. "Aunt Li, Lanlan is so serious. When I went back home, I felt that something was wrong with her. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she was fine."
Aunt Li originally just wanted to say something nice so that these people wouldn't spread such unpleasant rumors, but she didn't expect that some people would take it seriously, which was exactly what she wanted.
"I'm still resting now. I think there won't be anything to do tomorrow. Su Zhiqing, you guys should drink more water too. It's easy to get heatstroke in this weather."
"Auntie, I will. You should drink more water and don't be afraid of going to the toilet." Su Tao is strong, eats a lot, and drinks a lot of water. She knows that these aunties rarely drink water in order to get more work points, so this can save time going to the toilet.
"I know."
The conversations here were clearly heard by the people working not far away.
When Jiang Shubai heard that Song Tanglan had heatstroke, he immediately became worried, but later he heard that it was not a serious matter, and his uneasy heart relaxed a lot. Thinking of the mint he had obtained some time ago, he planned to go back and give her some.
In addition to her friends who heard it and were worried, Zhou Xiaoli also heard it, but her thoughts were completely different from theirs.
When the aunts heard that Song Tanglan had asked for leave and didn't come to work, they didn't say a bad word about her, which made her so angry that her teeth were itching.
Thinking about the time when she first arrived, she injured her foot and missed work. Not only was she severely criticized by Captain Cheng, but she was also pointed at by the aunts in the team for a long time. This comparison made her very angry.
At this time, she had long forgotten that she had injured her foot on purpose in order to avoid the autumn harvest, and Song Tanglan had suffered from heatstroke at work.
But she was blinded by jealousy and completely forgot how much importance the autumn harvest holds in the countryside. How could Captain Cheng turn a blind eye to her intentional injury at that time?
That's why she was scolded later. Not deducting her work points was already considered merciful by Captain Cheng.
The team is so small that any small matter will soon spread to the whole team. Zhou Xiaoli failed to keep up with the team's progress in harvesting grain during the autumn harvest, which made people very unhappy.
