Liu Jingxue looked around and saw that there were people surrounding the road ahead and she had no way of getting through.

She cleared her throat and said, "Uncles and aunts, please make way.

You're surrounding me here, blocking my way. I can't walk at all.

I still have to carry the stone slabs and walk around the drying dam."

Although Li Jun followed Liu Jingxue to the largest stone slab, he didn't actually hold much hope that Liu Jingxue would be able to lift the stone slab.

He came along just to go through the motions, hoping that Liu Jingxue would give up and stop insisting on taking on the heavy-duty job.

However, what he did not expect was that Liu Zhiqing could lift the stone slab effortlessly, which required the strength of several people to lift.

She actually lifted it up.

And looking at the way she lifted the heavy objects with ease, it seemed as if she didn't feel the weight at all.

He was stunned for a moment.

It was not until Liu Jingxue asked everyone to make way that he came to his senses.

Turning his head to look at the people around him who were just as stunned as he was, he quickly said, "Everyone, make way, move aside, and make way for Liu Zhiqing to pass."

After being reminded by Li Jun, everyone came to their senses and squeezed to the side, making a small path that was barely enough for Liu Jingxue, who was carrying the stone slab, to pass through.

Liu Jingxue ignored the surprised people behind her and walked through the crowd carrying the stone slab.

In this way, Liu Jingxue carried the stone slab and walked in front, followed by the people who followed her closely, and began to circle around the drying dam.

"Do you think she can really carry that slab of stone and walk around the drying dam?

Could she really have such great strength? She wouldn't run out of strength halfway through and smash her foot." Someone behind him doubted.

"Look at her. Her face isn't red, and she's not out of breath. Does she look like she'll run out of strength halfway through and the stone slab will fall off?"

“That’s right, looking at her like that, it’s like she didn’t put in any effort.

How strong is she?"

"I don't know how strong she is, but with our bodies, she can lift us up and throw us far away without any effort."

"Who would dare to marry such a strong woman in the future?

If a couple had a quarrel, she would punch her husband twice and his bones would probably be broken.

I am not lucky enough to have such a strong woman. "

This person's words aroused the anger of the female comrades present, "With your character, you look down on others, and others look down on you.

You are such a weakling. Let alone Liu Zhiqing, I don't even like a son-in-law like you."

"That's right, you can't even support yourself and have to rely on your family for support, so how can you support your wife and children?

How dare you covet Liu Zhiqing?

You'd better stay single for the rest of your life and stop harming girls from good families."

"Oh, ladies, how can you say that to me?

Although my strength is not as good as Liu Zhiqing's, it is considered normal among male comrades.

Besides, which man can tolerate a wife who is stronger than himself?

Ask other male comrades if they also dare not marry a wife like Liu Zhiqing." The young male villager complained for himself.

When the other male villagers saw that this person was trying to bring disaster upon themselves, they quickly looked away, not daring to meet the gaze of the female comrade.

Aunt Sufen said, "Why are you all silent?

It seems that they are all a bunch of cowards, afraid that their wives are better than themselves.

A capable man would not have such thoughts. "

Someone cleared his throat and defended himself. He didn't want to be the cowardly man that Aunt Sufen talked about.

"Aunt Sufen, we are not worried that our daughter-in-law is stronger than us and that we will not be able to beat her in a fight.

But we have self-knowledge. We know that we are not worthy of someone like Liu Zhiqing.

With her conditions, she must marry a city dweller, or even an official. We are just country folk who work in the fields, so we are not worthy of him."

His words won the approval of Aunt Su Fen, "You are quite sensible, you know you are not worthy of her.

Little Liu, the educated youth, is the child of a martyr, and all his family members are in the army.

You are really not worthy of her."

“It turns out that she is the child of a martyr.

She just said that her father is also very strong. People like him are very popular in the army. He must be a heroic figure."

"They're the children of martyrs. Maybe they've already died."

"Keep your voice down, people can hear you.

You have the nerve to talk about this in front of others and rub salt into their wounds. "

"Yeah, yeah, don't talk about that.

You see, she has come here already. It seems that there is no problem for her to carry the stone slab and walk around the drying dam."

"Of course, there will be no problem."

Liu Jingxue naturally heard the discussions of the people behind her, but she didn't care.

In accordance with the agreement between her and the team leader, she carried the stone slab and walked around the drying dam, then put it back to its original place.

After putting the slab down, she patted the dirt off her hands and asked Li Jun,

"Captain, it shouldn't be a problem for me to change my job."

“No problem, no problem at all.

Don't worry, I will arrange for you to carry loads in the future."

Liu Jingxue remembered that there were no chemical fertilizers in those days, and the soil was fertilized with farmyard manure. She quickly added,

"Captain, you can carry food and water, but forget about carrying manure.

Although I am strong, I am still a girl after all, and I cannot stand the smell. "

When everyone heard her say this, they all burst into laughter.

Aunt Sufen said, "Xiaoxue is right. It is indeed a bit too dirty to let a teenage girl like her carry manure.

Junzi, you can't assign people such tasks in the future."

Li Jun also laughed, "Don't worry, I will never assign you a job of carrying manure in the future."

Liu Jingxue remembered that she had not prepared a load to carry the food, so she asked hurriedly, "Team Leader, I didn't change my load, can I carry the food today?"

Li Jun said nonchalantly, "Among the common tools in our team, there are quite a few food-carrying poles, so you don't need to prepare any extra ones.

You can just go to the tool room to collect it before going to work every day, but you have to return it after work every day.

If you find it troublesome, you can prepare one yourself."

Liu Jingxue thought about it and decided that if she was determined to be a porter in the future, it would be better for her to bring her own set of tools for carrying water and food. This would save her the trouble of going to the tool room to get them every day and returning them after work, which would simply add a lot of workload.

"Then I'd better prepare one for myself, so I don't have to withdraw and return it every day.

But today I will use the one from the team.”

Li Jun nodded, "It's up to you.

Then you will have to change your shoulder pole for carrying grain and your bucket for carrying water."

"Okay, after work today, I'll go find the carpenter and the bamboo craftsman to change it."
