After washing the dishes, Qiao Mo saw Chu Maoshen enter Kang Mingyuan and his family's house. She thought he was really unreasonable. She curled her lips and took the basket to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden behind.
Kang Mingyuan and his family planted peppers, eggplants, beans, green beans, water spinach and cucumbers. Although the land was barren, it was large and they planted a lot of each vegetable. When she came to pick vegetables yesterday, she saw that many of them were already ripe and would go old if they were not picked.
She picked all the ripe green beans and string beans, all the red peppers, a few eggplants, and a few cucumbers. The three of them definitely couldn't finish all the vegetables, so she decided to dry some.
She returned to the kitchen, boiled some water, then washed the beans and red peppers, put them in a sieve and hung them outside to dry. The water was boiling at this time, so she put the washed green beans into the sieve and blanched them. After they were cooked, she took them out and hung them outside to dry.
After she finished all this, the bell for work rang, and she went back to get her straw hat and kettle and went to work.
That day, everyone went to Dongshan Mountain to turn over sweet potato vines, men and women together. Because there were so many people, the team leader divided everyone into groups, and Qiao Mo was in the same group as the educated youth.
For convenience, Qiao Mo not only brought a kettle of water today, but also a basket.
Shao Lidong and his friends have been here for a few years, so this kind of work is naturally no problem for them. Qiao Mo is physically strong and has worked all day yesterday. He has become very proficient and his speed is no worse than others. Kang Mingyuan and the other armed men are of course not lagging behind.
Only Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling fell far behind: Liu Ruoling didn't want to work at all. She turned over a few sweet potato vines, got a few drops of juice, and then stood there screaming. Although Chu Maoshen was a man, it was his first time doing farm work. It was difficult for him to complete the task alone, let alone two people?
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Qiao Mo and the others had finished their work, but Chu Maoshen and the others had not even finished half of it. Shao Lidong had no choice but to mobilize everyone to help.
Hua Mingli and the others would not lose face for Shao Lidong, but still arranged for Tang Xinmei to go back home to cook. Wang Jiaming followed suit and asked Chen Ran to go back home. Kang Mingyuan and the others also did some extra work, but they did not want Qiao Mo to stay idle. Seeing that they had sent people back home to cook, they also asked Qiao Mo to go back home to cook without hesitation.
"Qiao Mo, go back home and cook first." Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo stuffed the picked sweet potato vines into her basket.
"Okay, I'll pick them first." Qiao Mo didn't bother to be polite with them. She picked the tender leaves from the sweet potato vines while carrying the basket back. When she reached the main road, she had picked all the tender leaves from the sweet potato vines. She secretly put a small part of the sweet potato vine stems into the space of the wooden bracelet, and gave the rest and the old leaves to Aunt Wu to feed the pigs.
"Thank you, Xiao Qiao, you are so thoughtful." Aunt Wu accepted the gift and thanked her cheerfully.
"You're welcome. We can take it ourselves." Qiao Mo smiled and shook his head. "I'll go back home to cook first. Aunt Wu, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Aunt Wu nodded to her.
"Qiao Mo, you're great. You've become familiar with the villagers in just one day." Chen Ran looked at Qiao Mo thoughtfully. The people in Dongshan Brigade didn't like the educated youth and would avoid making friends with them if possible. He didn't expect that a little girl who was not even a year old would become so familiar with them in just one day.
"It's not as good as you say. I just asked for some vegetable seeds at Aunt Wu's house yesterday and said a few words." Qiao Mo shook her head. She felt that Aunt Wu was a nice person and should not be a mean person.
