Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 17

Bai Ying was not idle in the afternoon. After leaving the farm, she returned to the brigade clinic to be on duty.

Members came to the clinic in groups of three or four to look for her.

However, these are just minor issues related to prescribing medicine, which naturally cannot pose a problem for Bai Ying.

It is more tiring for her to work in the fields than to sit in the house and treat patients.

Now that the Waking of Insects has passed, the weather in Shandong Province is gradually warming up, and people in the countryside are busy with activities such as reclaiming wasteland, plowing the fields with bicycles, and fermenting fertilizers in preparation for a new round of sowing.

A working day is divided into 10 work points. Basically, male members can earn six or seven work points a day, female members can earn four or five work points, and the elderly and children can only earn one or two work points.

The educated youth who went to the countryside also needed to work in the fields. Although the work points of the educated youth and the members of the commune were calculated separately, the work they did was the same.

The fields that the educated youth were responsible for were next to the fields of the third production team.

The members of the third production team included the Bai and Lin families. Zhu Xiaoxiao naturally would not miss this rare opportunity. While the team leader and the scorer went to rest in the field, she ran to talk to Old Mrs. Bai.

"Grandma Bai." Zhu Xiaoxiao called sweetly.

Unlike most of the reserved and aloof educated youth, Zhu Xiaoxiao is very sweet-mouthed when she needs someone, and can almost coax people into a state of confusion. This is why Zhou Li's brain cannot outsmart hers.

Zhou Li has a bad temper and her mouth is not very good either. It’s good enough if she doesn’t offend anyone when she speaks.

But Zhou Li also has one advantage, that is, she is very alert and will not miss any opportunity to eavesdrop.

Look, Zhou Li, who was originally grunting while watering manure, immediately noticed that Zhu Xiaoxiao had left the land where the educated youth were and went to talk to Old Lady Bai?

She remembered what Bai Ying had told her last night, asking her to keep a close eye on Zhu Xiaoxiao and report to Bai Ying about who Zhu Xiaoxiao met and what she did...

This is only my first day on the job, so it's not a good time to act rashly.

So, Zhou Li pretended to be casual and took the dung shovel to the row of ridges next to the field where Old Lady Bai was. While lowering her head to work, she pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between Zhu Xiaoxiao and Old Lady Bai.

Old Mrs. Bai is over 60 years old and still has to go to the fields to earn work points, so her mood is naturally not very good.

Even if she can slack off for half a day, she will still be very tired, okay?

Old Mrs. Bai's waist became numb from bending over to water the manure, and she couldn't straighten up for a long time. But Zhu Xiaoxiao happened to have nothing to do and came to see her.

Old Lady Bai said angrily, "Why are you looking for me?"

She hated these little girls from the city who dressed up in a weird way the most, especially this educated youth named Zhu, who was closest to her most hated granddaughter Bai Ying. As a result, she also had a bad attitude towards Zhu Xiaoxiao.

Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care about Old Lady Bai's disdain. She spoke as if she was chatting with someone, "Grandma Bai, I've been in Willow Village for over two years, and I've never seen an old lady in Willow Village more blessed than you. You have five children, and four sons who are all filial to you!"

"......" Old Mrs. Bai looked strange.

Filial piety?

If a son was truly filial, would he let an old woman like her work in the fields? Was this educated youth surnamed Zhu deliberately speaking in a sarcastic way?

"Ah!" Seeing the embarrassment of Old Lady Bai, Zhu Xiaoxiao pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it true? I went to Bai Ying's house last night and clearly saw the potato stew she had for dinner. It was so delicious! I thought I would send a bowl to you, Grandma Bai..."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Bai was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.

The second brother's family actually dared to eat alone behind her back!

How unfilial! It really pissed her off.

Old Mrs. Bai has always been very concerned about her reputation. She was almost jealous, but she kept a straight face and muttered, "It's not a festival, there's nothing happy about it, so why would the second son's family eat meat?"

"Grandma Bai, don't you know yet? There is a happy event in Uncle Bai's family, a big happy event!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said mysteriously.

Old Mrs. Bai was confused. "Happy event? Who's getting married? Bai Mo or Shuang Liang?"

Although she did not like these two grandsons, they were her own grandsons after all, and she still knew some of their situations.

Bai Mo is older, he is 21 and still single. He has a strange personality and is disrespectful to her as his grandmother. He will be a bachelor sooner or later. Old Mrs. Bai has no intention of paying for him to get married.

Bai Shuangliang is younger, only 19 years old, and is not in a hurry to find a partner. In addition, he has a job at an oil press in the county, so he is a hot commodity. Many young girls in the village came to the matchmaker to propose marriage to him, but Old Lady Bai rejected them all.

If Bai Shuangliang wants to find someone, he has to find the factory director's daughter, preferably the kind who can help find jobs for her brothers and sisters at home. At the very least, she has to be a city girl who eats commercial grain and is willing to bring a high dowry!

In general, Bai Mo wants to get married but she can't get married because she can't pay for it.

Bai Shuangliang can get married, but the woman must pay her.
