Chapter 1557: Partial Eyes Mom 33
Yuanchun only greeted the educated youth she knew.
"Han Zhiqing, what are you holding in your hand?" Ma Guoliang asked.
"Gloves, sleeves, and a hat. I'm a girl and I'm afraid of the sun, so it's better to wear gloves, sleeves, and a hat so I don't get tanned."
Ma Guoliang looked at his white arms and asked, "Where did you buy these things?"
"I made it myself. I traded the hat with Grandma Song for half a bag of candy."
"Which Grandma Song? I...I want to change one too."
"It's the third one in the alley above the brigade headquarters."
"Han Zhiqing, um, can you make me a set of your gloves and sleeves? I'll give you something in exchange." Ma Guoliang said embarrassedly.
Because he saw that the male educated youth also brought these two things to work, which means that these things were necessities for work.
Yuanchun didn't want to make gloves and sleeves for other men. If she had to make them, she would make them for her brother Song Cheng. She said calmly, "I have no more cloth. The aunties and grandmas in the village can make them. As long as you are willing to exchange them for something, they will definitely provide the materials and labor for you to make them."
Fang Yan rolled her eyes at her and said sarcastically, "What's so great about that? It's just making gloves and sleeves. I can do that, too. Ma Zhiqing, do you have any cloth? Ragged clothes will do. Give it to me and I'll make it for you."
Ma Guoliang's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly, "I don't have any cloth, Fang Zhiqing, do you have any cloth? Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing, I'll give you half a bag of fruit candy as a reward."
Half a bag of fruit candy, only a few cents?
You want her to do the work and also want her to provide the fabric. What kind of good things are you dreaming of?
Fang Yan pouted, dissatisfied with Ma Guoliang's stinginess, but she asked for this job herself, so she couldn't refuse in public. She smiled and said, "Okay, when I'm free, I will definitely do it for you, but I don't have any fabric, so why don't you ask who has extra fabric to exchange."
Ma Guoliang immediately asked several male educated youth, "Do you have any extra cloth? I'll give you some candy in exchange."
One of the male educated youth said, "I have a pair of pants that have too many patches on them. I don't want to wear them anymore. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you. You don't have to exchange them for candy. I'm going to throw away those pants anyway."
When Ma Guoliang heard this, he really didn't mention the matter of exchanging it for fruit candy.
Chang Qingyang looked at him deeply and called out to everyone, "Let's go faster. If we go too late, we won't be able to get good farm tools."
On the first day of work, Yuanchun was assigned to weed.
Go to the corn field to weed.
Several newly arrived educated youth were arranged to be in a team with the village aunts and grandmas, and were taught by the village women.
Yuanchun was assigned to the group of mountain cannon moms.
The mountain boy's mother said, "Han Zhiqing, pulling weeds is the easiest job, and even children can do it. As long as you recognize the grains and don't pull the wrong ones, it will be fine."
Some educated youth who had just arrived pulled up corn, mistaking it for weeds. They pulled up dozens of seedlings, which made the team leader so angry that he scolded the educated youth until they cried.
From then on, the first thing the new educated youth had to do was to learn about grains and not make the mistake of picking the wrong grains.
Yuanchun was forced to learn about corn, but the corn was very tall in this season and the grass was small, so even a fool couldn't pull it wrong.
In the morning, Shan Pao Ma pulled weeds on a lot of land. Yuanchun slowed down her pace by one third and pulled weeds on more than half of her area.
It’s pretty good that I was able to pull out so many on the first day without complaining about pain or tiredness.
At noon, Shan Pao's mother praised her, "It's the first day of farm work, and you can pull so much soil, which is already very good. We can pull the rest in the afternoon. Let's go home now, the bell for leaving work has rung."
As soon as Yuanchun reached the end of the field, Xiang Qing called her, "Yuanchun, wait a moment, let's go back together."
"Sister Xiang Qing, where were you assigned?"
"I was weeding three fields away from you. I spent the whole morning weeding and I was exhausted. My waist is so weak that I can hardly stand up straight."
Xiang Qing walked up to her, took her hand, and asked with a smile, "How about you? How was your first job?"
"I'm tired, my waist is sore and it still hurts, but I can still bear it."
"What to eat for lunch?"
"On my first day at work, I planned to eat something good to replenish my body. I would scramble eggs with tomatoes and make sorghum rice. I soaked the sorghum rice in the morning."
"Sorghum rice tastes best when paired with salted duck eggs and mashed potatoes and eggplants. I have eggplants in my vegetable garden. Go pick some."
"I have it. I exchanged it with Grandma Song."
"At noon, I made stir-fried beans and eggplants. I added more chili peppers and it was delicious. I also cooked rice with millet mixed in it and it was delicious."
Hu Meijiao, who was walking behind the two of them, curled her lips and said sarcastically, "It's just stir-fried beans and eggplant, but you're talking about it as if it's braised pork. Who are you tempted by?"
Xiang Qing turned around and looked at her with contempt, "You are so greedy. You haven't eaten anything yet. There are more weeds than vegetables in your vegetable garden."
"You...I won't talk to you."
"You talk as if no one wants to talk to you. You're wasting my breath."
Hu Mei's delicate face turned red. She looked at Yuanchun and smiled like a wolf grandmother. "Han Zhiqing, where did you exchange eggs? I want to exchange a few too. I haven't eaten eggs for a month. How about you lend me two first, and I'll return them to you when I exchange them."
Yuanchun didn't give her any face and said, "I haven't eaten eggs for a month, and you didn't even go to exchange them. I lent me eggs, and you can exchange them and return them to me. You're not trying to get something for nothing, are you?"
What Hu Meijiao likes to do most is to get something for nothing.
In the previous life, the original owner was so poor, and she had taken away a lot of his things.
She borrowed dried mushrooms, black fungus, crushed hazelnuts, etc. to eat and never returned them.
Hu Meijiao's thoughts were exposed, but she didn't feel guilty at all. She curled her lips and said, "You are so stingy. It's just a few eggs. It's like no one has ever eaten them before."
"You are not stingy, please lend me five catties of millet."
"Why should I lend it to you? I don't even have enough food to eat."
"Yes, that's an egg. Why should I lend it to you? Is it because you are thick-skinned or because you are shameless?"
"you……"
Xiang Qing laughed loudly, "Hahahaha… Well done, well done, Hu Meijiao, you thought Yuanchun was easy to bully, so you wanted to take advantage of her. So what happened? You didn’t get any advantage, but you got scolded instead, hahahaha…"
"Xiang Qing, don't be so proud. I can't take advantage of you, but you can. We are all birds of a feather. When your true face is revealed one day, I hope you can laugh so happily."
"Bah, I'm not like you, trying to take advantage of everyone I see."
Xiang Qing and Hu Meijiao quarreled all the way, and only stopped when they got home and entered the door.
After returning home, Yuanchun washed her hands and face and lit a fire again.
She first fried scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then put the sorghum rice into the pot. Thinking of the eggplant and mashed potatoes that Xiang Qing mentioned, she quickly washed two potatoes and two eggplants and threw them into the pot to cook together.
Yuanchun didn't eat much in the morning. She had worked all morning and was already hungry. While the meal was not ready, she took out a meat bun from the space and ate it while making a fire.
I ate another glutinous rice steamed bun.
