Become a burden in a period novel

Dong Shaofang has been extremely tired from working in the fields lately, but she can't complain.

They had always been working with the old educated youth, so the work was not very heavy. She also saw that Huang Xu from Shanghai was "looked at differently" by the team leader because of his complaints.

Dong Shaofang naturally swallowed the complaint that was about to come out of his mouth.

Farm work is really difficult and tiring. Dong Shaofang has some small wounds on his hands and on parts of his body that are not covered by clothes. Especially after sweating, the sweat flows onto the wounds, causing both pain and itchiness.

She looked at the educated youth who were working with her and really wanted others to help her. She was like this before. She was good-looking and sometimes she didn't need to say anything, as long as she looked embarrassed, someone would come to help her.

But now she was surrounded by educated youth, all of whom were exhausted from farm work, and no one paid any attention to her. Dong Shaofang bit her lip unwillingly.

"Dong Zhiqing, are you tired? Do you want to drink some water?" Liang Hong, who was beside her, looked at Dong Shaofang's sunburned face and asked with concern.

She was the leader of these female educated youth. Dong Shaofang didn't look very well now, and she was afraid that she would faint from heatstroke.

"Then I'll go over there and drink some water." Dong Shaofang smiled weakly and pointed to the shady place over there.

"Okay, take a break if you feel uncomfortable. You have never done such heavy work before, so tell me in advance if you can't bear it." Don't wait until you can't bear it and faint on the ground. That would be bad.

Liang Hong looked at the other female educated youth who had not spoken.

"Sister Liang, I want to take a break, too." Fang Yuan wiped the sweat off her face with her handkerchief. She lived in a youth cadre site and had a better relationship with Liang Hong and others.

"Go ahead and drink more water." Liang Hong reminded him, "If you guys want to rest too, come together."

The other female educated youth were also very interested, so Liang Hong took the initiative to invite them over to rest together. She also went under the shade of the tree over there and picked up her teacup to drink water.

Because Dong Shaofang and her friends did not live in the educated youth site and their fellow villagers did not remind them, they did not bring any water with them on their first day of work and ended up using the water from the old educated youth.

They brought water the next day, and drinking some water while working made them feel much more comfortable, and they no longer had that feeling that their throats were about to smoke.

After drinking the water, Dong Shaofang wiped the sweat off her face with a towel. Then she saw Qin Wangshu who was still busy working in the fields.

Qin Wangshu was the youngest among the new educated youth, but she was the most efficient at work. This completely invalidated Dong Shaofang's previous speculation.

If there really was something wrong with Qin Wangshu's ingredients, she wouldn't have been able to get started so quickly.

She also vaguely heard that Aunt Luo was so nice to Qin Wangshu because Qin Wangshu's brother was also a soldier.

Being able to join the army proves that there is no problem with her brother's political review. If there is no problem with her brother, then there is naturally no problem with Qin Wangshu either.

Dong Shaofang withdrew his gaze from that direction, half lowered his eyes, and thought about how to make himself feel more relaxed.

On the other side, Qin Wangshu was still working hard, but while working, she also secretly smuggled some things into her space.

She didn't take a lot, just a little bit. After all, the plants in the space grew very fast, and she only needed a little bit of seeds. After planting a few more times, the seeds would be enough.

Today’s seeds are not hybridized like those in later generations. Many of the crops we grow now are kept as seeds and then planted the following year.

It’s not that Qin Wangshu doesn’t want to take more, but food is the lifeline of the farmers. If she takes more, these people will get less.

In the past few days, she has collected a lot of seeds by taking advantage of her work, but she was too tired during the day and just wanted to sleep at night, so she didn't plant those seeds.

What's more, the newly harvested seeds also need to be dried, so she put the seeds directly on the stone table in the courtyard to dry, and plant them when she has free time in a few days.

"Xiao Qin, you should go and have a rest too." Aunt Luo saw that the female educated youth were resting under the shade of the trees, so she wanted Qin Wangshu to go over and have a rest as well.

Since Xiao Qin came to Qianshan Brigade, he has been with her and has not communicated with those educated youth. I am afraid that he will not be able to get along with them in the future.

Now seeing those female educated youth resting there together, she thought that Xiao Qin could also go there to rest for a while, so that she could have a chance to communicate with them.

"No need, Aunt Luo, I'm not tired." Qin Wangshu really didn't feel very tired at the moment. She kept drinking the well water in the space, and she felt that her physical fitness was getting better and better.

On her first day at work she thought she might not be able to make it, but by the second and third day she had already adapted.

Now she just wanted to finish the work assigned to her as soon as possible and earn more work points.

Now she lives with Aunt Luo. Earning more work points will not only make the villagers have a better impression of her, but also get her more food rations.

"You are such an honest child." Aunt Luo shook her head and wanted to persuade him again, but when she saw Qin Wangshu bend down and start working again, she stopped talking.

Get to work quickly so you can earn more work points.

Dong Shaofang and the others sat under the shade of the trees, drinking the water they had brought with them. Few of them were willing to speak; they were all so tired that they just wanted to rest.

After drinking the water, Liang Hong calculated their rest time. Now is the busiest time, and if they rest for too long, their work points might be deducted.

"Sister Liang, do you know when the educated youth site can be expanded?" Dong Shaofang no longer wanted to live in that fellow villager's house.

Hearing Dong Shaofang's question, Zhang Nan immediately looked over.

"I'm afraid it will take quite a while." Liang Hong understood why they were so concerned. "After we finish our work now, the autumn harvest will probably start in a few days. It will be difficult to build a youth education center without manpower."

"I understand." Dong Shaofang's smile was a little bitter.

After this busy period, there is the autumn harvest, which will probably be even more tiring. Dong Shaofang feels that he simply won't be able to hold on.

She had only been in the countryside for a few days when she began to crave to go back to the city. But looking at these old educated youth, she knew that it would be difficult to go back to the city.

Her family was just an ordinary working class family, and they had no connections to allow her to return to the city. She had seen people from the same alley return to the city in other ways, but she couldn't do that.

At this time, she felt a little resentful towards the team leader. Why didn't he assign her to live in Aunt Luo's house, and let Qin Wangshu and Zhang Nan live together in the home of her fellow villager who was assigned to her now!

Aunt Luo had a good temper, and when she went to Aunt Luo's house, she didn't have to worry about not having enough food. These days, she saw Aunt Luo preparing a lot of food for Qin Wangshu.
