Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're here." Xiao Liu stopped the car and asked several people to get out.

A middle-aged woman came out and said to the group, "Today's job is to pick peaches. You all know how to pick peaches, right? Pick the big red ones, and don't pick the smaller green ones. They can grow longer on the tree."

"Sister Zhang, everyone knows how to pick peaches." Xiao Liu hurried forward and said.

"Yes, yes, we are all used to doing this job." Several people also quickly expressed.

"Okay, do you see the buckets over there?" Sister Zhang said to the group, pointing to a bunch of red plastic buckets placed on one side.

"There are also gloves and hats. Everyone should wear a hat to protect against the sun, and gloves to prevent someone from being allergic to the hairs on peaches. By the way, you are not allergic to peach hairs, right?" Sister Zhang asked again.

"We're not allergic. We all come from the countryside and were used to doing farm work when we were young. Don't worry!" one of the women answered.

Lin Qingyan followed behind a few people, took a hat and put it on her head like the older sister next to her. She looked at the gloves knitted with white wool. The wool was white, clean and bright, making her reluctant to wear them.

These gloves are much better than the ones her parents used in the factory. Sometimes her parents were reluctant to use them, so they would bring them home and take them apart to knit into woolen trousers for her and her brother.

Lin Qingyan held it in her hand and stroked it. She really couldn't bear to dirty or break it.

"Put on your gloves, little girl. Don't cut your tender hands."

An older sister looked at this clean, pretty little girl, but she was looking at her carefully with a pair of gloves. Thinking that she was from a poor family, she felt sorry for her and gave her a kind reminder.

"Okay, sister, I saw how to knit these gloves and I want to go back and knit a pair for myself."

"Oh, little girl, you can knit gloves? There are almost no people who can knit gloves these days. These gloves are directly produced by the worst machine."

As they were talking, they were already dressed neatly. One of them was carrying a red plastic bucket and was walking towards Taoyuan under the guidance of the workers who had arrived earlier.

The peach trees are not very tall, and a person can just reach the peaches by standing at that height. Each tree is full of peaches, most of which have turned red, and only a few are still green.

No wonder the boss was anxious. The villagers of Xishui Village also planted a piece of fruit trees under the guidance of experts, and there are experts there to take care of them. Only when the fruits are ripe will the village send people to pick them.

Of course, the relatively easy job of picking fruits was not the turn of the educated youth at the educated youth site, but they saw it from afar while working.

Picking peaches is a simple and easy job. While Lin Qingyan was picking peaches quickly, she listened to the chatting of several older sisters who came with her and learned about the world.

It turns out that this may be the world of the future, where children will start going to school at the age of three, and nine years of compulsory education will be implemented. Every child can go to school for free.

Lin Qingyan sighed in her heart: That’s great.

This world is developing very well. If this is the future of the original world, then the process of rushing towards this future may be bumpy, with many detours, or even backtracking.

But seeing this beautiful world, Lin Qingyan suddenly gained great confidence in the original world.

"Xiao Liu, it's almost 5 o'clock now. I have to go back to pick up the kids. I'll finish here first, is that ok?"

"Sure, sister. From 2 to 5, it's 3 hours in total. 20 yuan per hour, 60 yuan in total. Just scan it with your phone."

"Xiao Liu, we have to go back too. Can we come again tomorrow after we send the kids off?"

"Sure. I hope you can work longer tomorrow."

"We would like to have a longer stay, but there is no one to pick up the children!"

"Sisters, it's 60 yuan each. Come on, transfer the money."

Several people took out a rectangular object. During these few hours, Lin Qingyan knew that this was something called a mobile phone. It could make calls, and now it seemed to have banking functions and could also receive money.

"Little girl, where is your cell phone?" After Xiao Liu settled the wages of several people, he saw Lin Qingyan who was standing behind him and walked up to ask.

"I...I don't have a cell phone."

Several people who were about to leave turned around and looked at Lin Qingyan in surprise. It was a kind-hearted elder sister who came to the rescue and interrupted their gossiping gazes.

"Xiao Liu, then you should give the girl cash!"

"Big sister, who carries cash on them nowadays?"

As Xiao Liu was speaking, he saw the girl opposite him lowering her head in embarrassment. He felt a little reluctant, so he opened his bag and searched inside.

"Hey, you know what, there are actually some cash."

Xiao Liu took out a few papers and some money from his bag and unfolded them. There were two 20-yuan bills, two 10-yuan bills, and two 5-yuan bills.

After counting the amount, he handed two 2-yuan bills and two 20-yuan bills to Lin Qingyan.

"Thank you! Brother Liu." Lin Qingyan took it and thanked him.

Lin Qingyan was a little dumbfounded when she got the money. What was this yellow, brown and blue money? This was not the money they used.

But seeing that the older sisters didn't react strangely to the money, I knew that this was the money used in this world.

Looking at this money, I felt like crying but couldn't. I worked for several hours with trepidation, but what I got was indeed unusable paper bills.

"Little girl, what's wrong with you?" The elder sister who had just rescued him looked at her as if she wanted to cry. She was a little puzzled, but also felt a little sorry for the child, because she was happy about earning money.

"No, nothing, I'm just too happy."

"Xiao Liu, does it still count if each person can take away 5 kilograms of fruit?"

"It counts, sister. Pick them from the trees yourself, not from the buckets where they've already been picked."

"Oh my, I want to pick a big, red one. My kids love peaches the most."

"My little ancestor loves to eat peaches, but it's a pity that the boss didn't open a peach section."

"This is crispy, sweet and delicious." An older sister picked one, wiped it with a tissue and took a bite.

Lin Qingyan's eyes were burning with enthusiasm, and she quickly joined the ranks of picking peaches. They picked more than a dozen peaches weighing 5 jin very quickly, and Xiao Liu even sent a few plastic bags thoughtfully. Several people hurried away carrying the peaches.

Lin Qingyan also brought the picked peaches to the abandoned house, entered from the back door near the mountain, and flashed back to the space.

She washed the peach and ate one. It was very juicy, crispy, sweet and delicious. It was no exaggeration to say that she had never eaten such a delicious peach in her life.

I took the remaining peaches to the room on the left and saw the vegetables filling up half of the room. Suddenly, an idea came to me: maybe I could grow peaches in the yard.

Lin Qingyan buried the peach pits in the corner of the yard, scooped water and watered them. After she was done, she clapped her hands and looked at the time. It was already 5:.

It was time for the educated youth to get off work at this time, so they quickly slipped out of the space.
