Chapter 15 Blood-earned money


Chapter 15 Hard-earned Money

Lu Miao rolled his eyes and suddenly became as cunning as a little fox. He heartlessly started beating snakes with sticks again: "Does it rain often in the south? I don't have an umbrella either. , can you make a bamboo hat? "< br>
“…”

“Come on, come on, the porridge has been in the pot for a while, and the temperature is just right. Lu Zhiqing, try it.”

"Thank you, Aunt~"

Chen Guifen came back soon. Lu Miao took the porcelain bowl from her hand and smiled sweetly.

Can it not be sweet?

Lu Miao confirmed that Fu Jingyou would knit a hat for her today, and persuaded Fu Jingyou to knit a bamboo hat for her. She was not in a good mood!

The porridge in the bowl is very thin, but the rice soup cooked over firewood is very fragrant.

After eating dry whole grains for several days, this bowl of rice soup suited Lu Miao's taste. She drank it in small sips, leaving nothing behind.

The rations were expensive, so Lu Miao certainly wouldn't eat them in vain. She didn't know how to give food stamps, so she put two cents on the table when she got up.

Chen Guifen didn't see her little move, but Fu Jingyou seemed to have seen it, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Lu Miao was about to go back, Chen Guifen called out to her: "Lu Zhiqing, you will wait a moment, aunt will get you something."

Something?

What?

Lu Miao was very confused, but she stood in the main room and waited obediently.

Chen Guifen left quickly and came back with an extra gourd scoop in her hand than when she left. It contained a few crispy cucumbers and small yellow-reddish tomatoes.

"They are all grown in my own land. This year's harvest is better than in previous years. You can take it back and eat it. Don't dislike it."

Lu Miao was flattered and took the things and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Auntie, Then when I go to work tomorrow, I will I'll give you this half of the gourd."

"The gourd and gourd are not worth it. There are plenty at home, so just leave them at the educated youth spot and use them!" Chen Guifen waved her hands cheerfully, "Go ahead and walk on the road. Hurry up, it will make you very hot.”

Lu Miao nodded, Tiantian smiled at Chen Guifen, and ran out of the door holding the gourd and ladle.

Chen Guifen laughed and looked away, just as He Hongjin came out of the kitchen.

He Hongjin snorted: "You are kind-hearted. You should do whatever others say."

"Haha, what else can you do? A girl is so far away from home, you Don't you look pitiful?" Chen Guifen smiled and put away the bowl. When she saw the two cents stacked on the corner of the table, she picked them up and asked, "Whose is this?"

He Hongjin snorted and said nothing.

Obviously not his.

Fu Jingyou didn’t say anything either.

When she thought about who was sitting in this position just now, Chen Guifen understood what was going on.

"That girl is a little too squeamish, but she is more sincere. She can't do the work in the cornfield, but she did it properly for a few days?"

"Yes. If you don’t know what to do, it’s better to just say it frankly. Think about the first few years when the first batch of educated youth came. Now that I think about it, I still feel sorry for the peanut seedlings on the half acre of land.”
< br>

He Hongjin also felt very sad about what Chen Guifen said.

At first, I thought that the educated youths had just arrived, and I wanted to let them do some light work first to get used to it, but I didn't expect that all the people who arrived were people who didn't distinguish between grains and grains, and they mistakenly pulled up the peanut seedlings as weeds. Half an acre.

The second production team has become a joke in the brigade because it is small, but it is a pity that the seedlings in half an acre of land...

Peanuts are an economic agricultural and sideline product, and it costs a lot just to buy the seeds. Money, that’s all the team’s hard-earned money.

You shouldn't have mentioned this matter. When he mentioned this, He Hongjin felt so distressed that he scratched his scalp.

Thinking of something, He Hongjin asked anxiously: "You said Lu Zhiqing has been in the corn field these days? Which field is she working on? Have you gone to see it? Don't dig up the corn seedlings for me this time!" Bian Fu Jingyou straightened his back and wanted to say something. Chen Guifen said before him: "Don't worry, I said hello to the old farmers in the team that day and asked them to Please help me, Lu Zhiqing is reliable except for working slowly."

"Oh, I almost lost my breath."

He Hongjin patted his chest. He blamed it on the fact that the weather was getting hotter recently and the team had more and more work. He didn't consider this aspect for a while.

“Where are the others? How are they doing?”

"It's not bad. The siblings from the three eastern provinces are very nimble. I asked before and they said they grew up in the countryside and are very good at doing some farm work."

Hearing this, He Hongjin felt a little relieved, " What's going on?"

Chen Guifen said with a smile: "Golden pimples? Most people can't raise such golden pimples."

Her. It's Lu Miao.

He Hongjin sighed, "I don't expect all of these educated youths to be useful, just two or three who can be useful."

After all, she was the person next to her. Chen Guifen knew what he was thinking, but when she thought of something, she added: "When you have time later, say hello to the old farmer in the team. If you are a kid in the city, please work slower." Don't talk everywhere you pass by The lack of skin has suppressed the enthusiasm of the educated youths to work. Isn’t it the team that suffers?”

“Okay, I understand.”

He Hongjin nodded and went out with the hoe. .

Fu Jingyou also finished his meal. When Chen Guifen was clearing away the dishes, he was helping from one side, but as soon as he reached out, he was swatted away.

"You go and clean up and do some work, how can you be used here?"

Fu Jingyou followed the instructions and went to carry the hoe. When he walked to the door, Chen Guifen suddenly called him again:

"Oh wait, Jingyou, my aunt suddenly remembered something..."

Stay close. In the woods, and if it is an easy job, there are not many lands that meet this condition, and the few lands that are left are not close to the production team.

It is definitely impossible for Lu Miao to go alone, but if the crops in the team are arranged to work together, regardless of the old and the young, just thinking of Lu Miao's flowery face, Chen Guifen will not rest assured.

After much thought, Chen Guifen decided on Fu Jingyou.

After so many years, Fu Jingyou can be regarded as his own child. Chen Guifen understands his character and feels more at ease.

Fu Jingyou was a little hesitant, but Chen Guifen asked him to go, so he agreed.

When he gave Lu Miao a straw hat in the afternoon, he sent a message to Lu Miao:

"Aunt said that you should go with me tomorrow... You are a girl, and you are afraid that people in the village will spread rumors. Aunt He told us to leave early."

"Yes."

Lu Miao gave a slight "hmm" and turned her head over and over to look at the hat in her hand.

The hat is made of wheat straw. Even if you ignore the natural smell on it, you can still tell that it is newly made, but that’s it...

It seems to be made in a hurry. It came out the same, not as fine, and it didn't have the brim braided bigger like she had requested before.

Lu Miao was not very satisfied, but said nothing. Instead, he followed Fu Jingyou's words and asked, "Will it be just the two of us tomorrow?"

"Just the two of us." Fu Jingyou took a sip. He raised his lips and his Adam's apple slid up and down, "The place is far away. We have to eat in the fields at noon. You should prepare dry food in advance."

"Okay."
