Chapter 375: The Little Cannon Fodder in the Rebirth Story 22
Feng Ya came back early to cook dinner. Chen Xiaoxiao gave her her own food and helped her cook. Dinner was even simpler than lunch. There were no eggs, but there was dried shrimp soup.
Although the food was quite watery, with both soup and porridge, she was quite satisfied. After dinner, she took a pack of cigarettes and half a pound of brown sugar and went to the captain's house.
The captain's family had just finished dinner and were chatting in the yard! They saw her coming! The captain's wife enthusiastically moved a stool for her and was busy pouring tea...
"Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?" The captain looked at the quiet girl, hoping that she would not cause any trouble for him.
"Uncle captain, I would like to ask you a small question. When will the new houses for the educated youths be completed?" Chen Xiaoxiao did not say much and asked straight to the point!
"What's wrong? Someone from the Wang family bullied you." The captain's face instantly turned bad when he heard her words!
Thinking that she wanted to come here to change houses, he remembered to find her the most kind and simple family, the Wang Zhong family. If she couldn't get along with the Wang family, then it would be her problem.
"Captain, you misunderstood. The Wang family is very nice. I came here just to give some small suggestions about the houses at the educated youth site." Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Chen Xiaoxiao immediately stated what she meant.
"It's like this, Captain, I think you can build a few more small houses near the big house and rent them to the educated youth! You can also let the educated youth build the houses themselves, so they don't have to pay rent. But if they have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, the house will be returned to the village unconditionally.
This way, everyone will have more choices. Those who don’t want to rent a house can sleep in a dormitory. This way, there will be fewer conflicts in the educated youth site!
After all, the educated youth came from all corners of the country, and their living environments and customs were different, which led to disagreements. It could also generate a little income for the village. It had to be built anyway, and we could buy more furniture, basins, buckets, and other things.”
"I think you want to live alone!" The captain glared at her and was also thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
I calculated in my mind how much each small house would cost, how much would it rent out, and how long would it take to get my money back? Even if it was two dollars a month, that would be twenty-four dollars a year, which was still a considerable income.
"If it's built, I will definitely rent it! I will be the first to support your work! Besides, we don't know how many educated youth will come in the future! When there are too many people, there will be more troubles. I am a person who is particularly afraid of trouble." Chen Xiaoxiao did not deny it and smiled at the team leader!
"Okay, I will discuss this matter with the village cadres." The village chief thought this should work, but he didn't say anything definite.
"Uncle Captain, when you build it, please also build a stove or something so that I can cook alone! I can pay for it myself, and I believe the educated youth who rent the house will be very happy to do so." Chen Xiaoxiao stated her request again!
"Okay, I got it. Do you have anything else to do?"
Chen Xiaoxiao put the things she brought on the table and said, "No more! By the way, Captain uncle, these are what I brought from home. I don't know how to smoke anyway! I'll give these candies to you to soak in water." After saying that, she left quickly without waiting for him to refuse.
"Hey...you, what are you doing? Take it away!" When he walked out the door, he saw Chen Xiaoxiao's back was gone.
He shook his head, thought about it, and went to other cadres' homes to discuss the matter. He also asked them to do some calculations to see if it was cost-effective... In the end, everyone thought it was feasible, so it was decided.
Chen Xiaoxiao returned to Wang's house and saw that they had already taken a shower and were now doing laundry. She chatted with Mrs. Cai and played with the little boy Dawei for a while, and then she went back to her room when she saw that it was getting dark!
Chen Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, and when the Wang family members fell asleep, she entered the space. She had a midnight snack for herself and started exercising in the space. This body was not in good condition, with long-term malnutrition and anemia!
She had to take good care of herself in the next few years. After all, no matter what she did, she needed a healthy body. So during this period, she slept in the space every night. After several days of mental conditioning, her complexion only improved a little bit, but she didn't gain any weight.
Every time she looked in the mirror, she felt that it was too easy for Li Aimin to die like this.
Chen Xiaoxiao had been in the space for two days, exercising and conditioning, before she came out! She got up when she heard the whistle, wearing a hat and long sleeves, fully armed, and followed the Wang family. After breakfast, they set off!
Now is the time for double harvest, everyone is harvesting rice, and after harvesting the rice, they turn the fields and plant the seedlings in the fields! Chen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised when she heard this, she came at the wrong time!
Because they were new educated youth, they didn't know how to do farm work and needed to be led by the villagers! Chen Xiaoxiao was relatively thin and didn't look like someone who could work, so she was assigned to the slightly easier task of harvesting rice!
An elderly hunchbacked woman led her. It was not a technical job. She just had to spread her legs, bend over, and point the sickle downward. She could cut in any way she wanted as long as she didn't cut her feet!
Seeing the old lady moving so fast, Chen Xiaoxiao was a little surprised! She might not even be able to compare with the hunchbacked lady! She was quite good at the first few times, but after an hour, her waist was a little sore. After two hours, her waist and back were a little sore, and she was still a long way behind the old lady.
After a morning, she felt a little depressed! Chen Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that all the new educated youth were almost the same as her. As for the work she did, she was not the last but the second to last or third to last. Haha, it's good that she is not an exception.
Hearing the whistle for the end of work, the educated youth returned home exhausted!
"How is it? Are you okay?" Mrs. Cai wanted to laugh when she saw Chen Xiaoxiao's mental state, which was completely different from that in the morning.
"Not very well! I feel like I'm close to becoming hunchbacked. Mrs. Cai, do you think Aunt Wu has a hunchback because she cut too much rice?" Chen Xiaoxiao answered Mrs. Cai's question weakly.
"No! It's like this at the beginning, but it will be much better after a few days of getting used to it! As for Aunt Wu's hunchback, she has rheumatism. You see there are many aunties who don't have hunchbacks, right? So don't worry about getting a hunchback!" Mrs. Cai said with a smile!
Chen Xiaoxiao drank a few sips of spiritual spring water, then went into her room and took out a half-pound piece of bacon for Wang Fengya to fry! If she didn't eat some meat, she would definitely not be able to handle the intensity of the work with her frail body.
During the meal, none of the Wang family picked up any meat. When Chen Xiaoxiao asked them to eat, they only ate one piece each and stopped. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoxiao secretly thought that they were really kind people, so she quickly picked up a few pieces of meat and put them in the bowl, and asked them to share the rest.
"Then you come to live at our house. It seems that it is all thanks to you. Otherwise, how could we have such delicious bacon to eat?" Mrs. Cai said repeatedly!
The first and second batches of educated youth also stayed at the homes of fellow villagers, but they had a lot of conflicts with the local villagers. Chen Xiaoxiao stayed at their home this time because they paid her two yuan.
They thought that no matter how difficult this educated youth was, they would put up with it. Unexpectedly, the educated youth who stayed at their house this time was a good one. He was polite, sensible, generous, not fussy, and not pretentious. If he continued like this, they would be willing to stay at their house for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. I have eaten too. I have been eating and living here during this period of time, and I have caused you a lot of trouble! I will probably trouble you a lot more in the future!" Chen Xiaoxiao also believed that everything is two-way, as long as they continue to keep it up, she doesn't mind being nicer to them.
Everyone was very happy eating the meat, especially little Dawei, who kept calling out "rooster, chicken" while eating, "delicious!"
Chen Xiaoxiao also observed that although the family's conditions were not very good, there was no preference for boys over girls. If there was anything good, both sons and daughters got the same share, which was quite rare in the village!
After dinner, Chen Xiaoxiao went back to her room to rest for half an hour before going to work. She felt exhausted after a day of harvesting rice. But the scorekeeper came over and saw that she only got five work points, which was exactly the same as the eight or nine-year-old kids in the village.
Even the hunchbacked Aunt Wu who came to escort her had nine work points. But when she turned around, she saw that she was indeed the third from the bottom, and there were two educated youths who only had four work points. Not bad, not bad, she was very satisfied with this result.
She returned to Wang's house and took a quick bath in the water that had been dried at noon! She drank two bowls of spiritual spring water and felt alive again. At this time, Wang Fengya's meal was ready. She ate with the Wang family and went to wash clothes!
I guess the little brat Dawei also knew that the meat he had for lunch belonged to his elder sister Chen Xiaoxiao, so after dinner, she was lucky enough to enjoy the massage to honor her parents. This treatment, which even his own sister did not have, made Chen Xiaoxiao a little flattered.
Chen Xiaoxiao was so happy that she stuffed him with a few more candies. She was also worried that he might get choked, so she asked him to only eat half a candy each time! The little kid was also very filial and knew how to share. His parents and sister each got one...
In this way, Chen Xiaoxiao followed the Wang family and went out early and came back late every day to work in the fields. Her body was almost accustomed to this kind of labor intensity, but she didn't even see the shadow of the seafood she missed the most, let alone go to the sea.
Fortunately, I can replenish various seafood and nutrition in the space at night, otherwise the resentment will definitely be heavier than the ghost. In this way, Chen Xiaoxiao harvested rice for five days and planted rice seedlings for seven days. She was tanned two degrees. This was the effect of her applying sunscreen, otherwise it would be even worse.
