Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

I got off work late today, and chatted with Zhang Yingchun and others on the way, which delayed me for some time.

When Liu Jingxue returned home, it was already dark.

When she entered the yard, she deliberately looked towards the cowshed and found that the lights were on there, thinking that the people in the cowshed had returned.

Liu Jingxue put the load she brought back into the warehouse, then picked up the bucket and walked towards the well in front of the cowshed.

When Old Man Wu, who had been standing outside the cowshed and paying attention to the situation in the yard, saw this, he quickly ran to the kitchen to inform Wang Xiulan who was cooking.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xiaoxue is back.

Now he is walking towards the well, apparently preparing to fetch water."

When Wang Xiulan heard this, she quickly called out to Liu Weihua, who was chopping wood in the back, "Old Liu, Old Liu."

After a while, Liu Weihua walked into the kitchen, "Xiu Lan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Go to the well and fetch some water."

Liu Weihua looked at the water in the water tank and said, "There is water here, why are you going to fetch water?

There is enough water for today, let's go get more tomorrow."

Old Man Wu said, "I didn't really ask you to fetch water. Xiaoxue just came back and is at the well.

My sister-in-law probably wants you to go over and ask her why she came back so late."

Wang Xiulan rolled her eyes at Liu Weihua and said, "When you came back, didn't you notice that the light was still off at Xiaoxue's place?

Xiaoxue just came back at this time, you go and ask her.

Tell her to have a good rest and not to go to work anymore."

Elder Zou also walked into the kitchen and said, "It's time for the child to have a good rest. He must have been very tired during this period.

I heard the villagers talking about how she was earning more than 30 work points every day these days.

After finishing work early, he brought back some firewood, mountain products, and game for us."

"What the old commander said is true. This kid has been very busy these days.

The autumn harvest is finally over, we must take a good rest." Wang Xiulan could no longer agree with Mr. Zou's words.

Liu Weihua always insisted on calling Mr. Zou the "old leader". Mr. Zou asked him to change his name, but he was unwilling to do so, saying that he was used to it.

The husband followed his lead, so Wang Xiulan could only shout along with him.

"Okay, I'll go get some water right away." Liu Weihua picked up the empty bucket and walked towards the well.

It was already dark and there were no other houses nearby, so they were not worried about being seen.

It doesn't matter even if they see it. There is only one well here, and we can't let them not come to fetch water.

Liu Jingxue came to fetch water at this time, originally wanting to let the people in the cowshed know that she was back so that they wouldn't have to worry.

She did this because one time, she went deep into the mountains to pick pine nuts and hazelnuts. She got so excited about the harvest that she didn't pay attention to the time, so she came back late and got down the mountain after dark.

When passing by the cowshed, Tuanzi reminded her that the four people living in the cowshed were standing outside the yard looking at her.

They were anxiously discussing why there was no movement on her end and the lights were not on.

She had to use darkness as a cover and temporarily released two backpacks of mountain products from the space, and also released a dead tree, dragged it to the cowshed, to let them know that she was back.

Her aunt didn't let her go. She held her and scolded her for a long time, blaming her for staying in the mountains and coming back so late.

Uncle, Grandpa Zou, and Grandpa Wu did not let her go either. Not only did they not help her persuade her aunt, they also added fuel to the fire, causing her aunt to criticize her even more vigorously.

Liu Jingxue deeply realized the nagging power of menopausal women.

After that incident, Liu Jingxue never dared to put herself in danger again and would definitely come back from the mountain before they returned home.

Liu Jingxue was drawing water from the well. When she heard a sound behind her, she turned around quickly.

After seeing clearly that the person walking out of the darkness was her uncle, she hurriedly called out, "Uncle, come and get some water too."

Liu Weihua explained, "Your aunt sent me here to find you.

Let me ask you, why did you come back at this time today? Did you go into the mountains again?

It's too dangerous in the mountains. Even though you are strong, it's still too dangerous to be in the mountains at night.

You don't have the night vision ability of those animals, so it's better to get down the mountain as soon as possible."

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Liu Jingxue quickly explained, "Uncle, I didn't go into the mountains today.

Today is the last day of the autumn harvest. I did not leave work early. I worked until the end just like everyone else.

I was chatting with people on the way back, which delayed my work, so I came back at this time."

“So that’s it.

We thought you had gone into the mountains again, and that’s why you just came back now.”

"Uncle, I'm not that stupid. I made a mistake once, so how could I make it a second time?

The firewood on your side is already prepared, and I have almost prepared it myself as well.

After the autumn harvest, you can rest well and then go back into the mountains." Liu Jingxue comforted him.

Liu Weihua reminded, "You've been tired for so long, you need to take a good rest.

Starting tomorrow, you don’t have to go to work. There’s not much work to do in the fields anyway.”

"Uncle, I have already made up my mind that I will not go to work anymore.

Moreover, I plan to work half a day and rest half a day, or work every other day, except for the autumn harvest when I am forced to work every day.

Normally, the maximum work points are 10, and no more work points will be given. "

Liu Weihua nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what you should do from now on.

Our family doesn't rely on you to work and earn work points in exchange for food.

Although your aunt and I have lost our salary, we still have your two brothers. If they don’t care about you, I will scold them to death.”

Liu Jingxue quickly said, "Uncle, my brothers have their own families to support.

We have our own money, the money that my aunt stuffed into a package and sent to me before, plus the several passbooks I have, even if we don’t work, we can’t spend it all in decades.”

"Uncle, are you still going to work later?" Liu Jingxue asked.

Liu Weihua affirmed, "Of course we need it.

We are different from the educated youth. We are here for reform. Unless there is really no work left, we have to work.

We have already gotten a great deal by coming here.

It is said that in some places there is no work in the fields and people have to build dams and mine.

We are so lucky that we just stay at home in the winter."

Liu Jingxue helped her uncle fill the bucket with water.

"Uncle, I plan to rest at home tomorrow and go to town the day after tomorrow to pick up the package sent by my brother."

After the postman came to tell her that there was a package for her, Liu Jingxue told her uncle and aunt on the same day.

“There’s no rush to get the package. Wait until you’ve had enough rest.

Don't be in a hurry to go up the mountain to collect mountain products. We have already sent enough from you, and we have also stockpiled some dried meat. You should have a good rest for a while.

After we finish the work in the fields, a few of us will go into the mountains.

You have to give us something to do. If we stay idle at home all day, we will get sick."

"Okay, uncle, I understand.

It's getting dark, you should go back quickly.

I want to go back too."

"Okay, go to bed early tonight, and don't come to our place."

"I see."
