Chapter 25: End of Summer Harvest



After more than ten days, the summer harvest was finally over. Yi Xiaoqiu's luck value had increased to more than 200, and his luck value had also increased.

Because Guo Caifeng failed to blackmail her, Yi Xiaoqiu sent her to labor camp, which made several old educated youths wary of her. Gao Xiaowen no longer jumped around as intentionally or unintentionally as usual.

Li Mingqing didn't even dare to glance at Yi Xiaoqiu, for fear that Yi Xiaoqiu might dislike him and report him.

For a time, the educated youth site was quite harmonious.

Except Yi Xiaoqiu.

In the past ten days, what Yi Xiaoqiu did most every day was to stare at this group of handsome men and beautiful women, admire them, and then start finding fault with them.

In the eyes of the educated youth, she seemed to be a moody person who changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, was picky, and was a bit unreasonable.

One moment he was talking to you nicely, and the next moment he started picking on you, leaving everyone at a loss as to how to evaluate such a person.

Yi Xiaoqiu was also in a dilemma. The girls were so cute and she had no grudge against them. She also didn't want to offend anyone for the sake of the mission. She would get along with them one foot and then find fault with them the next foot, and then turn around to please them and ask for forgiveness.

It's not easy for her, a humble worker!

For example, now.

Yi Xiaoqiu lied with his eyes open, "Chen Zhiqing, how many days have you not washed your hair? Hey~ Your hair is so greasy!"

She said this with a look of disgust on her face.

"You're talking nonsense. I just washed my hair yesterday." Shen Ruofei wiped her hair. It was obviously very clean, but she had been sweating all day, so it didn't look very fresh.

"That's because you sweated too much yesterday. Ask Lu Huaian to boil more water for you to wash your hair tonight. Then you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow looking pretty and refreshed."

Yi Xiaoqiu calmly changed the subject.

"That's right! The firewood for boiling water today is yours!" Shen Ruofei said proudly, "Hmph! You have a big mouth."

"僢." Anyway, the firewood outside her house was picked up by Lu Huaian.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Yi Xiaoqiu opened his eyes and went into the farm, washing up in the cabin.

After Yi Xiaoqiu brushed her teeth, washed her face, and sprayed some beauty water, she walked out of the bathroom and saw the robot butler bringing out breakfast from the kitchen.

A stack of steamed dumplings, a bowl of millet porridge, a side dish, and a serving of shrimp dumplings.

After more than ten days of care, the farm is completely different from when Yi Xiaoqiu first started. There is a lot more land on the farm, and crops are already being grown, including rice, wheat, millet, soybeans, red beans, mung beans and other crops.

There are some foods that the farms cannot provide for the time being, but a lot of them have been unlocked in the agricultural and sideline products mall.

There are all kinds of cooking oil and grains. Of course, the price of grains purchased is not the same as the price she sells them for.

The price of grain sold is 20% lower than the purchase price. Yi Xiaoqiu and Butler Eleven have said that they should try to grow more worthwhile grain and try not to spend gold coins.

She also wanted to build a bigger house! The cabin was still too small. The fully automatic kitchen and bathroom took up more than half of the house. The bedroom was tiny, and the living room only had a dining table, which was built by the housekeeper.

The wood for the house and other miscellaneous items cost more than 100,000 gold coins.

Yi Xiaoqiu's current goal is to save money to build a big villa with a garden, so he would rather spend money if he can.

Fortunately, the chickens raised by the housekeeper on the farm have grown up a long time ago, and there are fish and crayfish in the river. You don’t have to buy them, you can just kill or catch them when you want to eat them.

"Eleven, I want to have some chicken soup this afternoon. Isn't it time to sell the pigs on our farm?"

Yi Xiaoqiu wants to eat braised pork.

"Hey, it'll take another two days to get this batch of pigs ready for slaughter."

"Oh, can we also grow some watermelons, strawberries, and other water plants on the farm that don't take up space?"

Yi Xiaoqiu was craving for water chestnuts again. She had been here for almost a month, but she had never eaten water chestnuts.

The eleventh housekeeper's eyes lit up. "My dear, you know how to make money. Water chestnuts are more expensive than grain and vegetables. I'll go and reclaim the land and plant all of them with various water chestnuts."

Yi Xiaoqiu nodded. "Mr. Xiao, you decide what to do. I'm not picky. I'll eat any tropical fish, even if it's smelly. And I'd like to have something lighter for dinner. Thank you!"

"Yes." Butler Eleven turned around and directed the robots to cultivate the land.

Yi Xiaoqiu started eating. What she looked forward to most every day now was not finding fault, but having a big meal in the house.

Eleven's cooking skills are amazing! He must have taken culinary courses!

After Yi Xiaoqiu finished his meal and rinsed his mouth and came out of the farm, there was a knock on the door of the mud house.

"Yi Zhiqing, are you ready? We're about to leave!"

Yi Xiaoqiu put his hand to his mouth and blew on it. Hmm, there was no taste of meat.

Once before, the housekeeper made big meat buns, and she ate it and ran into Shen Ruofei, who must have smelled the odor.

Yi Xiaoqiu could only deny it and said with gritted teeth that she smelled the scent out of thin air because she wanted to eat meat.

What could Shen Ruofei do? She could only suspect that she had smelled it wrong!

Since then, Yi Xiaoqiu has been very careful about what she eats. In order to avoid people as much as possible, she always has a big meal in the afternoon behind closed doors. The secret happiness of eating alone is something that others cannot experience!

"Why are you here so early?" As soon as Yi Xiaoqiu opened the door, he saw Shen Ruofei standing outside the door, looking extremely excited.

"Oh! You're the slowest. Everyone else is planning to rush to the state-owned restaurant early to eat big meat buns, and they're all waiting out front!"

She no longer cared about big meat buns and the like. Besides, by the time they got there from so far away, there would probably be nothing good left in the state-owned restaurant.

However, Yi Xiaoqiu did not mention such a disappointing thing.

When he goes to the company one day, he can cross the road by car. Yi Xiaoqiu gets excited when he thinks of this.

"Hey, let me lock the door." Yi Xiaoqiu turned around and took the storage bag from the house.

When I came out, Shen Ruofei was still waiting outside the door.

“When will you build the house?”

Now everyone boils water and cooks in her room. In order to hide her tracks, she has to go to the cafeteria every afternoon to buy some black-faced steamed buns as dinner.

For this, Yi Xiaoqiu received many sympathetic glances. She was a woman with a lot of work points, but she only had to eat a black-faced steamed bun every day. How could those educated youth who were still eating relief food survive?

What could Yi Xiaoqiu say? He could only say that he was saving money to buy a car.

Yi Xiaoqiu is now looking forward to the educated youth coming here to build a house as soon as possible so that she can eat meat without worry.

"The captain said that the farmers and workers have just finished the summer harvest and can start construction after two days of rest." Shen Ruofei felt a little unsure when talking about building a house.

She didn't have enough money and wanted to go to the black market.

When everyone arrived at the threshing ground, there was a tractor parked there. There were fourteen people in Yi Xiaoqiu's group, and it was just right for them to sit on the tractor.

The old educated youth set off early in the morning by horse carriage.

Each person paid five cents for the bus fare, which was included in the trip.

Yi Xiaoqiu sat on the tractor, looked around, and then sighed in his heart.

Alas! It was early in the morning and everyone was going out happily. She should not find fault and affect everyone's mood. She could wait until she got to the police station and see which unlucky person she could catch. It would not be too late to find fault then.

The dozen or so people sitting in the fighting felt relieved when they saw that Yi Xiaoqiu didn't say anything. Luo Wanlin and Song Ying looked at each other, and they both moved away from Yi Xiaoqiu at the same time.

The tractor swayed for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at Yushan Xishe after Yi Xiaoqiu's butt was numb and unable to feel anything.
