Traveling between the 70s and the modern world
Chapter 8 Autumn Harvest
The breakup is inevitable, but we still have to eat dinner together.
This was the first time that Lin Qingyan faced the group of educated youths after her rebirth. Perhaps because of the breakup, the others felt a little guilty towards her, so they had dinner with her politely.
It was also the first time that Lin Qingyan saw Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing. They were indeed very good-looking.
This man's facial features and temperament are incomparable to others. Even Wang Cheng, who was previously favored by everyone, can only feel ashamed in front of these two people.
In particular, Sun Qiu Shui's eyes were almost glued to Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing, and she also glanced at Wang Cheng. The naked gaze made Fang Yunxing, who was usually lively, feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Xiangyu's gaze was more subtle, and she looked at the opposite side implicitly.
I don’t know what was wrong with Sun Qiu Shui, she actually picked up a piece of beans with chopsticks and put it into Fang Yunxing’s bowl.
"Fang Zhiqing, you just arrived and it's harvest time, so you must be uncomfortable. Eat more vegetables so you have the strength to work."
“Shit!” Fang Yunxing was so angry that he almost cursed out loud. He cursed in his heart but still had a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Sun Zhiqing. I'm allergic to beans and can't eat them. Thank you." As he said this, he passed the food in the bowl to Zhao Guan, another male educated youth who had always had no sense of presence.
"Brother, please help me, help me eat this, I'm allergic to this, I can't eat it even if I want to, oh!"
"Huh? Allergic to beans? I've never heard of this."
"I heard that some people are allergic and cannot eat certain things. In mild cases, they develop lumps on their bodies, and in severe cases, they have difficulty breathing. If they are not rescued in time, they may die."
"That's too scary. If Fang Zhiqing has anything else he can't eat, he must tell us in advance to avoid eating it by mistake next time."
"I discovered the allergy by chance. It was just a coincidence. I got better after eating it." Fang Yunxing had a thick skin and couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the female educated youth. He ran back to his room as if escaping.
When everyone came to their senses, Gu Yizhou cleaned up his and Fang Yunxing's dishes and returned to the room.
After they left, the meal was quickly over. Lin Qingyan cooked the meal, so the task of washing up was left to today's duty student. Anyway, starting tomorrow, she would no longer share a meal with them, so she didn't feel any guilt.
The weather at the foot of the mountain was neither too hot nor too cold, which was just comfortable. The male educated youth carried water directly to the backyard to take a shower, and some even went to the river to swim and take a shower.
The female educated youth had more trouble and could only use a basin mixed with water to wipe the room.
"Qingyan, have the branch secretary and the village doctor come today?" After taking a shower and lying on the kang, Ye Yi remembered the important things of today.
"It's here. There's no big problem. My body has almost recovered. I'll be fine if I take care of it slowly."
"Go talk to the captain tomorrow and see if he can arrange an easy job for you."
"It's okay. I know my body well. I'm fine now. Besides, the captain's family is going to marry Wang Cheng. With the captain's wife's temper, it's already polite of her not to make things difficult for me."
"That's right, the captain's wife is really hard to describe."
"I've figured it out. I've just reached adulthood and I've been sick. If I really work hard on the farm, I'm afraid I'll be useless when I return to the city. I'd rather not earn more work points than to tire myself out. Health is the capital of revolution."
"Qingyan, have you really let it go?" Ye Yi looked at her friend with sympathy. Apart from Wang Cheng, no one knew better than her how much Lin Qingyan had paid to follow Wang Cheng to the countryside.
"Everyone has their own destiny, and he is not my destiny. I was blind before and could not see the situation clearly. This time I was sick and lying in bed, which made me think a lot. This person is not suitable for me and does not deserve me."
Lin Qingyan did think a lot after her rebirth. This kind of scumbag is not worth her efforts at all. Since she has already gone to the countryside, she should protect herself and work hard to live a better life before social order is restored.
The next day, Lin Qingyan woke up at dawn. She steamed sweet potatoes and corn before the other educated youth started cooking, boiled water, and filled her and Ye Yi's thermos with water. Only then did she hear the sounds of other people getting up in the yard.
Holding the cooked breakfast in one hand and a thermos in the other, she almost bumped into Gu Yizhou who was about to enter the kitchen.
Gu Yizhou quickly stepped aside and let Lin Qingyan go out before entering the kitchen to prepare his breakfast.
"I'll ask the village head's wife if she can find a pot for us. It's really inconvenient to wait for them to use the kitchen after they finish using it."
Lin Qingyan walked into the room and said to Ye Yi who was washing up.
"You should ask the village head's wife about this. She is the right person to ask. She knows the affairs of every family in the village best."
After breakfast, Lin Qingyan followed Ye Yi on a familiar yet unfamiliar road. What was familiar was the things in her previous life. Since her rebirth in this life, she had never been active in the village.
The two walked to the brigade headquarters. The brigade leader was assigning today's work. When he saw Lin Qingyan and the others coming, he just glanced at them. However, the brigade leader's daughter Li Cuihua looked at them a few more times.
Lin Qingyan was assigned to break corn. This job was not easy. The weather was still quite hot and humid, especially in the tall cornfield, which was not ventilated.
The leaves on the corn stalks could easily scratch the body, and they could feel a burning pain when they returned home at night. Fortunately, they both wore long sleeves today.
This job is a bit tiring for someone who has been sick for a few days and was diagnosed as dying by the village doctor a few days ago while lying in bed.
"Captain, Qingyan has just recovered from her illness. Can you arrange some easier work for her?" Ye Yi couldn't help but fight for her friend.
The team leader glanced at Ye Yi and said, "Why, this job is not easy? Do you think it is easier to carry corn? Or is it easier to cut rice or carry rice?"
Ye Yi's eyes turned red from anger, and Lin Qingyan quickly stopped her from arguing.
"I am okay!"
After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she said to the captain:
"The captain is elected by the people. He will definitely be fair and just in arranging work for them. He will not embarrass the people for personal reasons. After all, the people have sharp eyes. Captain, don't you agree?"
The captain was lifted up high by Lin Qingyan. He snorted coldly and continued to arrange the work to be done today.
Li Cuihua, who was standing in the crowd, looked at Lin Qingyan several times. Lin Qingyan felt the gaze and looked at the woman opposite calmly. Thinking of the things in her previous life, she inexplicably wanted to sympathize with her. This was also a poor woman.
Li Cuihua felt a little confused by Lin Qingyan's sympathetic look.
Lin Qingyan took the still angry Ye Yi to find the team that was working today. A team leader led 10 people and was assigned a 5-mu corn field.
Today's task is to pick the corn and transport it to the brigade headquarters, and then cut the corn stalks and transport them to the brigade headquarters.
"The female comrades would go to three rows each, go to the other end and then come back to put the corn on the edge of the field, while the male comrades would be responsible for transporting it to the brigade headquarters."
The team leader’s surname is Li, and he is the nephew of the team leader. After the arrangements were made, he took the lead in picking corn.
Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi each carried a basket and put the broken corn into the basket. When the basket was full, the two of them worked together to carry it to the edge of the field, and then the male comrades carried it to the brigade headquarters. This job was not an easy one.
Lin Qingyan's body did not feel tired after being nourished by the space water.
But Ye Yi was obviously out of breath, and her head was covered in sweat. Lin Qingyan poured out a teacup of diluted space water from the earthen jar she brought and handed it to Ye Yi.
"Drink of water."
Ye Yi reached out to take it and drank it in a few gulps.
"Qingyan, did you add sugar to the water today? It feels extra sweet and much better than before. I feel like the water tastes better these past two days."
Ye Yi put the teacup next to the earthenware jar.
"Yes, sugar is added, shh!" Lin Qingyan looked at the eyes of several women nearby and made a soft gesture to Ye Yi.
"Captain, someone is slacking off. He hasn't been working for long and someone is already sitting down to rest."
A woman who had a good relationship with the captain's wife reported to the squad leader.
"Before you criticize others for slacking off, please take a look at how much you have slacked off in your own field and how much you are lagging behind.
You still want to tell others off for slacking off, then how about you who do even less work than those who slack off? "Ye Yi sneered.
The team leader came over and glared at the woman who was complaining, then shouted to the people who were listening to the gossip:
"You are all idle. Is it because your job is too easy? Wait until the next male comrade breaks the corn, and you will transport the corn back to the brigade headquarters. You are all worried."
"Is this Lin Zhiqing who almost died after jumping into the river?"
"Is it this educated youth Xiaolin?"
"Yes, I heard that Wang Cheng, who is going to marry Cuihua from the captain's family, is quite close to him."
"I heard before that they were dating."
"Don't talk nonsense. How can you do that with Cuihua when you are in a relationship..."
"Artificial respiration."
"Yes, yes, artificial respiration, that's what city dwellers do nowadays."
Lin Qingyan tightly held back Ye Yi who was about to rush over.
"People have mouths on their bodies. If they want to spit shit, we can't stop them from spitting shit. Otherwise, they will die from holding back the shit."
Phew, seeing that Lin Qingyan really didn't mind, Ye Yi laughed out loud regardless of the looks from the women around her.
