Chapter 1555: Partial Eyes Mom 31
The next day, Yuanchun was awakened by the sound of an alarm.
After turning off the alarm, getting off the kang, and washing up simply, Yuanchun carried a bucket of water out of the Youth League compound.
There were already seven or eight people queuing up by the well. Before Yuanchun even approached, Chang Qingyang greeted her, "Han Zhiqing, you're here to fetch water too."
"Well, Chang Zhiqing, it's your turn to fetch water today."
Chang Qingyang smiled and said, "No, I am fetching water for Hu Zhiqing and Xiang Zhiqing."
Yuanchun looked surprised and said, "Chang Zhiqing, we female educated youth live in single dormitories, and you male educated youth also help us fetch water?"
"No, I fetch water for them and they pay me three dollars a month. It's a deal."
"Then I will also give you three dollars a month, and you will fetch water for me?" Yuanchun said with bright eyes.
Being able to hire someone to fetch water for three dollars a month would save her a lot of trouble.
There is only one well in the whole village, and people rely on it for washing vegetables, clothes and drinking water. Villagers often line up here, each carrying a load of empty buckets.
When there are a lot of people in line, there are more than a dozen of them, and it takes half an hour to get your turn. Many people don't want to queue in the morning, so they eat dinner and come in the evening to pick up water for the next day.
Yuanchun lived in a single dormitory, and her biggest headache was fetching water.
Chang Qingyang shook his head decisively, "I agreed to fetch water for Hu Zhiqing and other educated youths before because I saw that they were female comrades and I pitied them because they were weak and couldn't carry the water. But now I can't even get rid of this job. As soon as I said I wouldn't fetch water for them anymore, they started crying to me. I had no choice but to sacrifice my sleep time and get up early every day to fetch water for them."
Yuanchun looked aggrieved, "I am also a lesbian."
Chang Qingyang looked at her with an expression that was hard to describe. "Han Zhiqing, I saw you carrying water yesterday. You carried the water easily and the bucket was steady without spilling a single drop. Even I can't do that."
Well, I wanted to find a laborer to fetch water, but they refused.
Yuanchun was obedient and stood at the end of the line.
Unexpectedly, Song Cheng came over carrying a load of empty buckets and stood behind her, and her conversation with Chang Qingyang was overheard by Song Cheng.
Song Cheng whispered, "Xiaochun, I'll help you fetch water after work in the evening."
"Okay, Brother Song Cheng, thank you for your help."
Of course she wouldn't refuse her future husband who wanted to fetch water for her.
When it was her turn to fetch water, Song Cheng came up from behind and shook the bucket down, "Xiaochun, wait on the side, I'll fetch the water."
Yuanchun said, "It's too slow to draw water with just this one bucket. Next time I'll buy a rope to tie to the bucket. I can use my own bucket and save myself the trouble of queuing."
Song Cheng was stunned for a moment. "But, the villagers have been fetching water this way for many years. This water-shaking rack has also been around for many years. My grandmother told me that it was there when my grandfather was a child."
"This water-shaking well is not static. Since a bucket will slow us down, we will find a way to solve it."
"This... this seems to be the case. Then... should we tell the captain?"
"Why tell the captain about this? It's just a water fetch. It's not something that will harm the interests of the team. The captain won't stop it."
But Yuanchun would not persuade the villagers to do so. If any villager failed to hold the rope firmly when drawing water and the bucket fell into the well and could not be fished out, she would be blamed.
If that person turns out to be a rogue shrew, she will have to pay for the rope and bucket.
