Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays
Chapter 11: Hitting the wall
Lin Ru really wanted to lie down and sleep, but she was so hungry. She looked at the dinner and saw that it was porridge again. She really wanted to eat the braised pork from the state-owned restaurant. She picked up the bowl reluctantly, stretched her neck and drank it all.
The corn kernels distributed by the village were a bit too big, and they were not boiled long enough, so they were not mushy at all and hurt my throat. The idea of building a house came to my mind again.
Lying on the bed, my consciousness sank into the space. I saw that wheat, rice and corn had all grown seedlings. At this rate, they would mature in a few days. The old hens and chicks also stayed obediently in the area that had been divided for them by my consciousness. I also fed them some water and cornmeal that I had secretly hidden in the space.
Seeing that everything was developing in the expected direction, Lin Ru fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Lin Ru and Aunt Liu were still partners, but today she was the one cutting corn while Aunt Liu held the corn stalks.
I thought she would work very slowly, but the more she worked, the more smoothly she became. The more she worked, the more heroic she felt. She felt like she was about to fly.
"Lin Zhiqing, you have to be faster, this speed won't work!"
After hearing this, Lin Ru turned around and saw that Aunt Liu was not walking very fast. She was still some distance away from her. Why was she urging her to hurry up?
She thought about it carefully and understood what was going on. The team was now divided into two groups, one person cutting corn and one holding the corn stalks. This piece of land was a task for two people. If they failed to complete it, both of them might have their work points deducted!
This may be what it is like when working in a group. Those who are more honest will do more, and those who are more dishonest will do less.
Aunt Liu thought Lin Ru was young and easy to bully! She wanted Lin Ru to finish her work quickly so that she could help her. It was a beautiful thought, and she didn't even consider whether Lin Ru agreed or not. I thought Aunt Liu was kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that she had a lot of twists and turns in her mind.
Lin Ru in the front did not respond, but still used all her strength to dance with the sickle. Seeing her like this, Aunt Liu felt relieved and slowly picked up the corn in the back.
It was almost dark, and Lin Ru still had some corn to harvest, while Aunt Liu still had more than half of her field to harvest.
Aunt Liu looked at other villagers and found that many of them had not finished their work. However, some wives and aunts had to go home to cook, so they could only come back to work after dinner. Because the work was fixed, it was fine as long as they finished it, and the team leader would not be so strict. Seeing this situation, Aunt Liu rolled her eyes.
"Lin Zhiqing, you continue working first. I'll go back to cook and then continue working!"
Lin Ru looked at Aunt Liu's rolling eyes and knew that she was trying to find an excuse to go back and leave all the work to herself.
Lin Ru replied crisply: "Okay."
Aunt Liu looked at Lin Ru in confusion, thinking that she had found another fool. It seemed that she could relax again in the future! Then she left without looking back.
When the night swallowed up the last ray of light, Lin Ru finally finished harvesting the corn, but Aunt Liu still didn't come. She really took advantage of her. Lin Ru moved almost half of the corn stalks before calling the team leader to give him some work points.
"You still have so much work to do, so call me over. It's getting dark, so hurry up. Otherwise, the people in charge of transportation will go home soon, and you will have to carry all the corn stalks to the threshing ground to dry them."
"Aunt Liu has gone home to cook and will be back soon. Captain, you see, I have finished harvesting and harvested half a field of corn. How many work points will be given to me?" Lin Ru looked at the team leader with a smile.
"Because you haven't finished the work yet, you only have six work points, and Aunt Liu has four. Come back to me to add the points when you've all finished the work."
The team leader thought for a moment and said, "How about you just do all the work, and I'll give you the bonus that Aunt Liu got."
Lin Ru thought about it and decided to give up. She was the one who was short of those few work points. Once the food in the space matured, she would have a lot of money in her account.
Besides, the aunties in the village are very powerful. When she sees that these four work points are given to her, she will cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide. She will not be able to withstand it. Now work points mean food and money, which are very precious.
Lin Ru pretended to be weak: "Captain, I really can't do it anymore. Why don't we wait for Aunt Liu to come back? She has been gone for a while and she will probably be back soon."
"Okay then, you two can discuss it, but if the corn gets damp because you left it in the field overnight, you'll have to pay for it."
"No problem. Captain, I'll be back first." The team leader saw Lin Ru leaving in a cool manner. After being the team leader for such a long time, he roughly understood what was going on. He thought that Aunt Liu had hit a wall this time.
Lin Ru returned to the educated youth center exhausted and found that everyone had finished their meal.
"Lin Zhiqing, the rice I left for you is still warming in the pot. Go and eat it quickly. It's our turn to cook tomorrow, so remember to come back early." Shen Xiyan said with a smile when she saw Lin Ru coming back.
"Thank you, Shen Zhiqing. I understand." Lin Ru smiled weakly. She really didn't want to drink rice porridge. She would cook for herself tomorrow and eat something good.
Lin Ru was drinking porridge with a bitter taste in her mouth, while Aunt Liu was moving corn with a curse on her face.
After finishing her meal at home, she returned to the field a little worriedly. She saw that Lin Ru was not there and no one was collecting the corn stalks. She was afraid of having her work points deducted and that the corn would get damp and moldy, so she could only bend over to work. Moreover, she not only had to move the corn to the edge of the field, but also to the threshing ground to spread it out for drying. She really ended up losing more than she gained.
The next day, Lin Ru came to the threshing ground and saw Aunt Liu chatting animatedly with a few other aunts. Thinking that they were in the same group after all, she wanted to go over and say hello.
When I got closer, I found that they were scolding her, saying that she was a wicked person who ran away before finishing the work. This made Aunt Liu finish the work late at night, and she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her back until now.
Hey, this Aunt Liu, not only did Lin Ru accuse her of being disrespectful to the elderly, she also turned the tables and accused Lin Ru of being immoral. Lin Ru could be tolerated, and seeing that everyone in the village was here, it was a good opportunity for her to fight back and establish a powerful image, so as to prevent other top people from coming over to cause trouble for her.
