Become a burden in a period novel

Wang Li was raised by Qin Fang, and she has seen too much of Qin Fang's behavior in front of Wang Jianguo.

When she was with Zhao Jun, she subconsciously imitated Qin Fang's demeanor and tone. The effect was also very good, at least Zhao Jun's attitude towards her became more and more enthusiastic.

"I'm not the kind of person who is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains." Zhao Jun said with some pride.

"You're amazing. I have no idea about farm work or farming seasons." She had asked for leave for all the agricultural activities at school, and if she couldn't take leave, she asked Qin Wangshu to help her.

She had never thought about doing these things. She signed up to go to the countryside on a whim. Thinking about it afterwards, she became scared. She didn't even want to do the farm work in the agriculture class, let alone actually go to the countryside.

"You have a job, you don't need to know this. Okay, let's stop talking about this and go to the department store."

Zhao Jun pushed the cart and walked beside Wang Li. Wang Li did not continue talking about these things, but started discussing with Zhao Jun what to buy today.

After school started, Qin Wangshu gradually got into the state.

Then she found that the biggest change from before was that after she became a teacher, other people in the team became more friendly to her, especially the parents of those children.

Every time she came back from school, people who met her on the road would greet her, and Qin Wangshu would respond enthusiastically.

Among the teachers recruited this time, the one who got along best with Qin Wangshu was not the educated youth, but two girls from the brigade. Usually they went home together after school, but today they had something to do at home so they left early.

Qin Wangshu was walking alone on the main road of the brigade. In front of her were some children who were just leaving school. They walked very quickly and were happily walking towards home with their homemade schoolbags on their backs.

Although Qin Wangshu was still very gentle during class, it seemed that the identity of a teacher naturally brought with her majesty, and these children were somewhat afraid to talk to her.

Qin Wangshu could see a few children looking back at her quietly, and then saying something to their friends next to them.

Qin Wangshu found it very interesting to see them being so lively, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Qin Zhiqing?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Qin Wangshu turned around and saw an aunt who looked familiar.

"Aunt, is there anything I can do for you?" Qin Wangshu stood there waiting for his aunt.

"We are going to the mountain to dig bamboo shoots tomorrow. I don't know if you like them. I will give you some when the time comes."

Her eldest grandson is in Qin Wangshu's class. When he was studying in the commune's primary school, his grades were very poor, especially in mathematics.

It would have been fine if he had poor grades, but he didn't want to go to school anymore. Now that her brigade had set up a primary school, she transferred her grandson back, thinking that her grandson would just get a diploma from her own primary school.

Unexpectedly, not long after Qin Wangshu started teaching, her grandson no longer mentioned the issue of not being able to go to school. He also told her that Teacher Qin was an excellent teacher and he felt math was not that difficult anymore.

She wanted her grandson to at least get into junior high school. Almost everyone in her family was blind and had to dig for food in the fields. Later, after there were literacy classes, they learned to write their own names and recognize a few words.

When it came to her grandson's generation, she didn't want him to repeat their lives. At first, her grandson's grades were too poor and he didn't like studying, so she gave up the idea.

Now that her grandson wants to learn again, she naturally has to support him.

A junior high school diploma sounds much better than an elementary school diploma, but as for technical secondary school and high school, she doesn't dare to think about it.

She knew that Qin Wangshu had always liked these, and now she definitely didn’t have time to dig bamboo shoots herself, so she could dig some and send them to her.

"I like eating bamboo shoots very much, but there's no need for you to send them to me. Aunt Luo will probably be there tomorrow, and the bamboo shoots she digs should be enough for us to eat." Qin Wangshu quickly refused.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. I'll send you some tomorrow so you don't have to dig it." When the aunt heard that Qin Wangshu liked to eat it, she didn't accept her refusal and waved her hand and left.

Qin Wangshu wanted to tell her not to send him off, but she had already walked away.

Speaking of bamboo shoots, now is indeed the season for eating spring bamboo shoots. Qin Wangshu also transplanted some bamboos in the space. She only watered them with some space well water when planting, and then left them alone.

I don’t know if there are bamboo shoots. If there were, she would have enough to eat all year round.

After returning home, Qin Wangshu mentioned to Aunt Luo that someone wanted to give her bamboo shoots, and hoped that Aunt Luo could help her refuse.

"Then I will go dig bamboo shoots with them tomorrow. When they see that I dig so much, they will probably stop giving me more." When Aunt Luo heard Qin Wangshu mention bamboo shoots, she also wanted to eat some.

There is some bacon at home, which can be used to stir-fry bamboo shoots, which will also be a very good dish.

"Then thank you for your help, auntie. If tomorrow is Sunday, I can go with you." At this point, Qin Wangshu realized that now it is a single day off, not a double day off.

There is only one day off a week, Sunday. Qin Wangshu misses it very much when he thinks of the two-day weekend off in the future.

I don’t know when the two-day weekend started. I won’t wait until the college entrance examination is resumed. After she is admitted to the university, she will have only one day off a week!

"It's okay, it's not a heavy job. If you want, let's go together this Sunday." Aunt Luo couldn't bear to see Qin Wangshu's lost look, so she comforted him.

"Yeah." Qin Wangshu nodded and became happy again.

Aunt Luo saw Qin Wangshu smiling again. This little Qin is still like a child.

Qin Wangshu was happy, and he pulled Aunt Luo to discuss how to eat the bamboo shoots they had dug.

Time passed quickly, and Qianshan Primary School welcomed its first long holiday - wheat holiday. This was a holiday Qin Wangshu had never heard of, but she also knew why it existed.

The wheat in the field has turned yellow, and both students and teachers in the school have to go back to harvest the wheat.

This was related to this year's food supply, and no one could escape. Even the children could pick up wheat ears and look at the wheat.

Tian’s family is less busy for months, and May is much more busy.

Farmers who grow crops never have time to rest!

Qin Wangshu assigned some homework to the students, then cleaned up the things on the desk and prepared to end the get out of class.

"Teacher Qin, you also need to go to work, right?" A student ran to Qin Wangshu.

This student is called Yang Yunxin. She is a very obedient and sensible girl, and is also the study committee member of the fourth grade.

"Yes, teachers also have to go to work. Those who do not work shall not eat. Only by working by yourself can you have enough food and clothing." Qin Wangshu took this opportunity to tell the children in front of him that everyone needs to work.

Although she received a certain amount of work point subsidies as a teacher, she also needed to participate during the busy farming season so that she would have enough food.

"Then Teacher Qin, let's go and help you with your work." Yang Yunxin looked at Qin Wangshu with anticipation.

She knew that these educated youth were not very good at work, and Teacher Qin looked thin and weak, so he must not be very good at work either.

Teacher Qin was usually so kind to them, and she couldn't bear to see Teacher Qin go hungry when the rations were distributed and the food was too little.

"No need. Don't underestimate the teacher. The teacher can do it on his own. You should go back and help your parents." Qin Wangshu rubbed Yang Yunxin's hair.

"Teacher Qin, you really won't be hungry?" Yang Yunxin expressed his concerns.

"You think too much. The teacher is really awesome." Qin Wangshu said as he picked up Yang Yunxin in front of him with one hand.

Yang Yunxin was suddenly picked up by her favorite teacher. She exclaimed, then immediately held Qin Wangshu's arm, wanting her to put her down.

"Do you believe your teacher now? Don't worry so much at such a young age. Remember to help your parents and grandparents with more work when you go back." These children can also earn work points. How could she accept their help?

When Yang Yunxin was put down, she immediately ran away shyly.

Qin Wangshu watched her return to her seat. Her friends immediately gathered around her, and she left the classroom with a smile.

These students are really lovable sometimes!

After returning, Qin Wangshu shared this matter with Aunt Luo.

"That's why you, Xiao Qin, are so popular among students!" Aunt Luo was naturally happy to see Qin Wangshu integrate into the Qianshan team.

"However, Xiao Qin, it seems that you need to eat more, otherwise the students will not suspect that you will be hungry."

"Aunt, I really have eaten a lot." Qin Wangshu felt a little wronged. She really ate a lot, but she didn't gain much weight.

She had grown taller and was almost as tall as herself, but she still looked frail.

Obviously she is very strong, and sometimes she herself wonders where she gets so much strength with so few muscles.

"How can it be more? You don't even eat as much as I do." The little brat is eating his father out of money. Aunt Luo has seen how much her son ate when he was growing up. Compared with Qin Wangshu at that time, he can't even compare to her.

At that time, he was hungry again not long after he finished eating. This was also the reason why her son joined the army.

At that time, the family had little food rations and he ate a lot, so he was often half full and half hungry. In order to have enough food, he joined the army when he was just sixteen.

This really left Qin Wangshu with no way to refute. On the surface, she didn't eat as much as Aunt Luo, but she did have extra meals.

She was growing taller during this period, and Qin Wangshu was worried that she was not getting enough nutrition, so he secretly added a lot of food to his diet, not to mention an egg every morning and afternoon, but also a lot of fruits and snacks bought from the supply and marketing cooperative.

In addition to these, there were also some food that she asked Jianzi to bring her. They were kept in the warehouse to keep fresh, and she would eat some when she was hungry every day.

Because she would eat whenever she felt hungry, she was almost never particularly hungry. Since she ate small meals frequently, she naturally did not eat as much as Aunt Luo.

"Right," seeing that Qin Wangshu did not refute, Aunt Luo continued, "So you should eat more. We will be harvesting wheat next, which is hard work. If you don't eat more, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

"I understand, auntie, don't worry, I won't lose myself." Qin Wangshu naturally knew that the upcoming wheat harvest would be a test of people's physical strength, but she was not afraid.

Under the conditioning of the space well water, her body's physical strength and endurance have been greatly improved. She survived the last wheat harvest and autumn harvest, so she can certainly do it this time, and maybe it will be even easier.

"Aunt, do you still have mung beans at home? Let's boil some mung bean water and take it home tomorrow." Qin Wangshu changed the subject.

"Okay, I'll prepare it in advance when the time comes." Aunt Luo agreed.

Seeing Aunt Luo agreed, Qin Wangshu immediately smiled. Aunt Luo was becoming more and more tolerant towards her, and more and more generous with the food.

The next morning, Aunt Luo boiled the mung beans, and when Qin Wangshu woke up, the mung bean water was ready.

Qin Wangshu took out the white sugar from the can, scooped a few spoonfuls of it into the mung bean water.

Aunt Luo looked at her actions and didn't say anything, but just asked her to eat quickly because the team would be notified to assemble soon.

After Aunt Luo and Qin Wangshu finished their meal, they each filled a pot with mung bean water. Aunt Luo then poured the remaining mung bean water into a jar and hung it in the well to keep it cool before they went out.

After arriving at the gathering place, the team leaders began to divide the work. After Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo lined up to receive the tools, they put on their straw hats and walked to their assigned places.

When Qin Wangshu went out, he wore an old long-sleeved jacket of his. This coat was already too small for him, so Aunt Luo took apart another old jacket of hers, put the two pieces together, and made a new one.

Even though this dress is rather worn out, it is still very good for work. People at that time were like this: new for three years, old for three years, mended for another three years.

There are also clothes at home. When they are worn out by adults, they are altered to give them to children, and when they are too small for older children, they are given to younger children.

There are many people like Qin Wangshu who took apart two old clothes and combined them into one, and everyone can understand it.

Of course, it was also because of these old clothes that other people knew that Qin Wangshu didn't have much money or tickets.

No one can see what you eat, but everyone can see at a glance what you wear.

Qin Wangshu, who was reluctant to throw away even such shabby clothes, was naturally poor in front of outsiders. No one would know that she had so much money.

However, if everyone knew what she usually eats, they would not think that Qin Wangshu is poor.

After all, it is impossible for anyone to eat refined rice and noodles every day, or eat meat every few days.

But Qin Wangshu, who had no shortage of food, could do so. After she sold her food to others under the guise of the black market, she rarely ate coarse grains, unless she wanted to change her appetite.

Aunt Luo was not used to it at first, but gradually she accepted it and is now used to eating white rice and noodles and steamed buns made of white flour every day.

When he arrived at the field, Qin Wangshu tied his trouser legs and sleeves tightly, went down into the field, and began to bend down to cut the wheat.

She was wearing work gloves on her hands, and except for her face which was exposed, her entire skin was covered, for fear that her skin would touch the wheat awns.

Qin Wangshu asked the people in the supply and marketing cooperative to keep an eye out for these work protection gloves, and she bought a lot of them.

There are many people like her who buy work gloves in large quantities, but others want to disassemble the gloves and use the yarn to knit sweaters.
