Chapter 48 Side 1
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiong Lijin didn't expect that there were so many hidden talents among just a few of them. Jiang Yu could make bicycles, Wu Aiqing could make herbs, and even the delicate and cute Xue Li had this kind of network. It was incredible!
If I still can't get rich, then it means I'm destined to never make money.
Xue Li thought for a moment, "I'll go ask, but you also know that these things are in short supply. Bring back everything I can, and we can divide it up then?"
Jiang Yu nodded, "It doesn't matter. It's best to have it, but we'll get used to it if we don't have it." She had two pots and a large kettle for boiling water, but she had always used a stone knife that she sharpened herself to cut vegetables, which was not very convenient.
Xiong Lijin also said, "Yes, yes, safety is the most important thing. Don't take risks for these material things."
Because this place is located on the border, there are many black markets and a variety of people. There are also many regulatory agencies. The patrol team makes four or five trips a day to arrest people everywhere. If Xue Li has connections over there, it is better to be careful. Safety comes first.
Chen Jinghan also advised her, "If it's dangerous, forget it. Why don't you let me go with you? If you get the things, I can also help you carry them back."
"No, no, I'll send a message out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They'll definitely receive the letter after the busy farming season is over. If there's something by then, I'll just go get it. It's not dangerous." Xue Li quickly refused. How could he get things out of the space if he brought people with him? Some kitchen knives with steel stamps had to be picked and polished, which was not convenient to do with others.
A few of them chatted for a while in the courtyard, and when they saw other people coming in, they went back to their rooms, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.
The next morning, loud red songs awakened the village. Jiang Yu turned over and sat up, put on the clothes on the cabinet at the end of the bed, combed his hair, then picked up the washbasin and toothbrush and went to the well in the front yard to fetch water.
After washing up, boil the corn grits that had been soaked overnight, and bury the sweet potatoes in the ashes of firewood away from the fire.
Take out the kettle, put a gauze bag filled with chrysanthemum and mint into it, fill it with water and set it aside.
When the porridge is almost cooked, crack an egg into it, stir it, and sprinkle some salt to season.
After finishing the meal, take out the cooked sweet potatoes, put them in a small basket, and take them with you when you go out. You can eat them when you are hungry while working.
When the loud speaker sounds for the second time, it is time to gather.
Jiang Yu took the straw hat with a veil and gloves, put on the water bottle, and went out carrying a small basket.
Xue Li next to her was the same as her, holding things in both hands and chewing food in his mouth. He choked a little when swallowing, probably because of the boiled eggs he was eating.
She took a sip of water and greeted Jiang Yu, "Good morning, sister."
"Good morning~" Jiang Yu said in a good mood.
The male educated youth on the opposite side also came out with water bottles and greeted them with a smile.
Several people walked out of the educated youth site together.
The old educated youth behind them were holding steamed bread in their hands, some were holding kettles, and some were using cans as water cups, and they were rushing to catch up.
The four newcomers can have a day off today and haven’t gotten up yet.
The team leader shouted a few slogans, then quickly called over the team leaders, asking them to take everyone away and start working quickly.
Although the old farmers in the village think that it will not rain recently, everyone has a sense of urgency when they are rushing to harvest crops, for fear that a dark cloud will float over from somewhere, which will cause trouble even if it just brings a little rain.
The corn fields of the construction team were endless. Each person was allocated an acre of land and started to pick corn.
Jiang Yu worked fast, so Zhang Baoguo put her on the edge of the work points because he was worried that if she exerted too much effort, she would break other people's corn, making it difficult to calculate her work points.
But not long after, Zhang Baoguo brought another person over.
Jiang Yu stood in the middle of the field and looked up.
"Yichi, start from here." Zhang Baoguo pointed to the area outside the two acres of land and said to the man.
It turned out to be Yi Chi, the landlord's son that the aunties had been talking about for a long time.
When Jiang Yu saw the legendary Chi Xiaozi for the first time, he understood at a glance why the village aunties were obsessed with him.
This man is of the same type as Fu Biao, a handsome guy with strong facial features, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with two transparent ambers, and thin light pink lips.
It's just that his head is extremely swollen. The symptoms of edema lower his appearance. His complexion is yellow and his face is swollen, which makes him look a lot duller.
Jiang Yu's eyes met his. She nodded calmly and continued to pick corn.
Yi Chi blinked, pursed his lips, turned to look at Zhang Baoguo, and said with a smile, "Uncle, you go and do your work. I will do my best."
"Just do it, don't get too tired..." Zhang Baoguo looked at his face and frowned. There was no one else in the entire construction team who was so hungry. Tsk!
Every family has its own problems. Yi Chi’s grandpa is a foreigner and can’t speak Chinese fluently, so he may suffer a lot on the farm.
Yi Chi's own background was not good. The blow he suffered back then was too great. In addition, he suffered from cold and hunger at a young age, and his health was not good.
Although he has been working diligently on the farm in recent years, he has to feed himself and send food to his grandfather, so he has always lived a tight life. It's really pitiful...
Zhang Baoguo thought of the old and young people in the Yi family who had died long ago, and then he looked at Yi Chi's reaction, and finally said, "Go and get busy."
It is not difficult to break corn, but the corn leaves can cut your flesh and leave a bloody cut if you are not careful.
So Jiang Yu and Xue Li prepared straw hats with veils, wore long sleeves and gloves, and were fully armed.
As for the others, it depends on their own conditions. However, most villagers are accustomed to this kind of life and feel that they are tough and don't care about these things.
The mechanical operation made people numb. Jiang Yu repeated the action of breaking the corn and putting it away, filling the basket one after another.
The sun was rising higher and higher, luckily the temperature came down, otherwise I would have been drenched in sweat again.
Jiang Yu ate a sweet potato and drank some water. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yi Chi wiping the sweat from his forehead and walking in the cornfield.
At noon, Xue Li and Chen Jinghan went back to cook.
Xue Li had supplies, Chen Jinghan had money, and they were generous to their friends. They subsidized the lunch by buying bacon, stir-frying cabbage, and cooking dry rice. When they put the food on their bicycles and pushed it over, they also said they had boiled green bean soup and let it cool down for afternoon drinking.
"Fuck, who is this handsome boy?" Xue Li and Jiang Yu were eating on the edge of a field when they saw a man crawling out of the field next to them. They were stunned and said, "Oh my god, why is his face so swollen? What a waste of nature's gift!"
Jiang Yu smiled, "He is Yi Chi."
"The most handsome guy in the brigade as described by the aunties? Damn, he's really good-looking if the swelling goes down, even better than Fu Biao!" Xue Li smacked his lips. The aunties' aesthetic taste was good. If it was recognized by everyone, it couldn't be fake. He was so handsome!
Jiang Yu also glanced at the man. "They are different types. Fu Biao's features are tougher and he looks a bit fierce. This man's face looks more approachable."
