80s control group: After the marriage exchange, I was loved by the group

Chapter 21 Aunt, Please Leave Now
It was time to pick the tomatoes in the field. Qin's father and elder brother had already gone to the field. Qin's mother was waiting for Lin Chuxia to come back at home before taking her to the tomato field.

The entire field is more than one acre in size. Since it is past the peak season, we can only pick two baskets at most.

When they arrived at the field, Qin's father and elder brother had already picked half of the fruits. Qin's mother and Lin Chuxia also went into the field. The four of them had finished picking the entire field before noon.

The picked tomatoes can be delivered to the vegetable market in the county town, or you can wait until the evening to sell them at the fixed night market in the county town, so that you can earn an extra two cents per pound.

Lin Chuxia didn't plan to set up a stall at the night market. With only two baskets of tomatoes, it wasn't worth wasting time.

She asked about the location of the vegetable market and planned to deliver the tomatoes directly to the market.

Mother Qin was worried, "Let your eldest brother go."

The two baskets of tomatoes weigh at least 70 to 80 kilograms in total. Lin Chuxia is so thin and weak, how could she carry such heavy things?

Lin Chuxia didn't plan to trouble Brother Qin. Since they had already separated, there was no point in always troubled others.

He looked at the basket and said to Qin Han, "Brother, just give me a hand."

A basket frame is made by connecting two woven baskets with two wooden sticks as crossbeams, leaving just the right width for the rear protective rack of the vehicle. When the frame is placed on the rear protective rack of the bicycle, it can carry more things and keep the vehicle balanced.

In a village like Qinjia Village, where vegetable cultivation is the main occupation, almost every household has such a basket.

Qin Han also felt that Lin Chuxia was too thin and weak to lift the frame, so he wanted to ask his father for help, but Lin Chuxia was already ready.

He didn't know what to say, so he walked to the other side and prepared himself mentally for how to give his sister-in-law a way out if she couldn't lift it up.

As a result, with a command, the basket was lifted steadily and landed on the rear protective rack of the bicycle.

Lin Chuxia clapped her hands, greeted them, and pushed her bicycle straight onto the road.

Qin Han was almost dumbfounded. With such agility, he was sure that his sister-in-law was definitely more energetic than his wife.

An expert can tell whether there is any skill just by showing his skill. Qin's father and mother are both experienced in the fields and can tell the difference.

"I was worried that Yangyang's wife couldn't do our job, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Father Qin also said, "Didn't my mother-in-law say at the beginning that Chu Xia is capable?"

In front of her eldest son, Qin's mother did not refute her husband, but she knew the truth in her heart.

What's the point of saying that the second daughter is capable and giving them the best in the family? Most likely, it's because their eldest daughter doesn't like their Qin Yang's absence from home all year round and changed her mind halfway.

Thinking that such a good daughter like Lin Chuxia was despised everywhere in her parents' home, Qin's mother decided that since her son was not at home, she had to treat her daughter-in-law well.

Lin Chuxia didn't know that her action had aroused the sympathy of her mother-in-law.

She has been doing farm work at home since she was a child.

The eldest sister is favored, and the younger brother is a boy, so she is the only one left at home, and she has already developed a lot of strength.

I've been drinking spiritual spring water during this period and I've become noticeably stronger.

I’m not a strong man, but at least he’s no worse than an ordinary man.

This was not at the vegetable market, and everyone looked at her as a woman. They squeezed around but couldn't get a good share of her weight. Lin Chuxia took advantage of the situation and after weighing the food in front, she directly took the frame down and put it on the scale.

Even the couple who were carrying a basket nearby were stunned and didn't dare to say a single harsh word.

Li Jian, who was in charge of weighing, couldn't help swallowing. He had noticed this girl just now and wanted to help her after weighing these two items.

It is not easy for the little girl to sell vegetables by herself. If he doesn’t help, it will probably take her half a day to weigh them.

Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, the girl had already done it herself.

I lifted the weight and found that the basket and tomatoes weighed 85 kilograms.

"Girl, you are so impatient. If you accidentally sprain your waist, it will be a lifelong problem," he said while issuing the ticket.

"That's right, girl, if you open your mouth, who can't help you?" The sister-in-law next to her also spoke up.

Lin Chuxia took the list, checked the numbers on it, and then said, "I did open my mouth, but none of you heard me." She had been in the front of the line for a long time, but she couldn't get a hold of the scale. "I also know that everyone is anxious to go back for lunch. When people are hungry, they can't take care of their manners. I have no choice but to do it myself. But I have to give some advice to your management station. When people are not conscious, the station staff still need to maintain order and do the minimum first come first served."

The eldest sister-in-law's face froze. She and her husband were in the queue behind Lin Chuxia. If Lin Chuxia hadn't moved the basket down herself, they would have weighed it before Lin Chuxia.

I didn't think much of it at first, as it was the same every time I sold vegetables. But now that Lin Chuxia was almost calling me by name and scolding me, I still felt embarrassed.

Li Jian had a smile on his face. Seeing that the little girl was well-behaved and cute, he even gave them some suggestions.

No one has given them any suggestions in all these years, it sounds really fresh.

Before he finished laughing, Lin Chuxia glanced at him and said, "Comrade, please lend a hand. Are the tomatoes delivered to Warehouse No. 3?"

Li Jian's smile remained unchanged. "Just now, didn't you say that you can have enough food and clothing if you do it yourself? Why do you want me to help you now?"

"You've already told me that I'm a weak woman and my waist will be hurt if I do heavy work, so shouldn't I listen to advice and have a full meal? I'll give you a chance to show your style," she said, then winked at him.

Li Jian also saw the director coming over there, and his heart was filled with joy.

Does this girl know that the leader won’t care about this matter at all? The director was just going to the cafeteria to eat and was just passing by.

But I didn't give the little girl any embarrassment. I put down my pen and helped her lift the frame back onto the car.

Lin Chuxia thanked him exaggeratedly, "Thank you so much, comrade. I originally thought that I couldn't do this myself, but I didn't expect that there are still many good people in the world. The staff of our Ancheng Vegetable Station are so considerate and attentive. It is a blessing for us farmers to have public servants like you."

Li Jian couldn't help but want to cover his face: Auntie, please go away quickly. I am embarrassed to hear you say such words.

Lin Chuxia didn't care about that. She pushed her bicycle to Warehouse No. 3 while everyone was talking.

After the tomatoes were delivered, there were some left over, and they had to be taken back with the baskets to be weighed and peeled. By then, a comrade had been replaced at the weighing station.

I opened a new invoice and took the two invoices to the finance window to collect the money.

8分钱一斤刨去皮剩62斤，一共卖了4块9毛6。

After putting the money away, Lin Chuxia walked slowly to the back of the warehouse.

When I was delivering tomatoes just now, I saw several carts parked here, and a few broken ones were piled in the corner.

It was meal time at the vegetable station. Those who were free went to the canteen to get food. Those who were indispensable also took turns to eat. Lin Chuxia just wandered around a few broken tricycles.

"Hey, why are you still here, girl? Didn't you find warehouse number 3?"
