Lin Xiao told Yang Xile that she and Xiao Yu had an "incredibly fulfilling" Easter, probably the most "fulfilling" few days they had in more than 20 years.
I live a life of rising with the sun and resting with the sunset almost every day, because I have to get up to work as soon as it gets light and work until evening. After finishing work, I am so tired that I don't want to talk. After washing up, I go to bed and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I don't suffer from insomnia.
Yang Xile was greatly shocked, because he had never experienced such a day before, and even after hearing Lin Xiao's description, it was hard to imagine the scene at that time.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is it particularly hard?"
Lin Xiao laughed and told him that it wasn't particularly hard work. For other international students who often work part-time, some even said it was one of the easiest jobs they had ever done.
For her and Xiaoyu, who had never lifted a finger before, it was really "very hard." By the third night, Xiaoyu was so tired that she cried in bed.
“We felt like we couldn’t hold on for more than two or three days. When we woke up in the morning, all ten of our fingers were swollen, as were our legs. After a day of bending over and picking flowers in the fields, we couldn’t straighten our backs and had to help each other walk back.”
Yang Xile felt very sorry for Lin Xiao and asked, "Are you still going to work for 10 days? Just leave! You don't need that little bit of money. Sis, I'll give you some if you're short of money!"
Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Isn't it because we're afraid of losing face? We're afraid people will say we can't handle hardship and are deserters. Also, this job was introduced by Xiao Yu's senior, and if we desert at the last minute, the farm won't be able to find anyone else, and we're afraid her senior will be blamed."
“But you can’t work yourself to death. Ten hours a day, isn’t that just hard labor? Wouldn’t that violate French labor laws?” Yang Xile said seriously.
"Hey, who can strictly adhere to working hours in places like farms and restaurants? I guess it's pretty much the same everywhere. Anyway, we're never doing this kind of work again, don't worry."
