Reborn as an educated youth, my love brain awakens

Chapter 104: Contributing to the Collective

Liu Yumei pushed the bowl away and said unconvincedly, "Dad originally wanted you to work as a farm implement keeper, but Captain Xiang handed you over to that vicious woman. Humph! Someone like her actually has the nerve to come out like that. Didn't you see how arrogant she is? She really thinks she's so great. I wonder how long she can be so proud."

Ji Qinglan thought of Xiang Xiangqing who often brought things back from Xiang's house, and the corners of his mouth curved up, saying: "It's just to recruit one of our own! After all, he is his uncle, Captain Xiang will definitely take care of him."

"But thank you very much. Secretary Zhang, please don't conflict with Captain Xiang over my affairs. No matter what kind of work is assigned, it is a contribution to the collective, and I can do it. If I really can't do it, I will refuse. Anyway, we have torn our relations, so I am not afraid of him."

She had money and food, and did not rely on her work points to make a living. The reason she wanted to go out to work and make more friends in the village was that she did not want to give Captain Xiang the opportunity to isolate her. She did not want to be like in her previous life, where she was imprisoned for five years and people thought she had returned to the city.

Although she knew that she had the confidence, Liu Yumei was still indignant. It was a pity that there was no vacant position in the village committee office. A few days ago, Luo Xiufang said that she would add a quota to the village women's federation and wanted Ji Qinglan to come. Her father agreed, but she refused to the team leader on the grounds that he had to work on spring ploughing.

Could it be that Ji Qinglan would not be able to continue with the spring ploughing if the work went badly? She didn't tell Ji Qinglan about this, for fear that she would be disappointed.

“However, with the addition of twenty new pigs this year, the farm will definitely be busy.”

When Liu Yumei heard that Ji Qinglan wanted to feed pigs, she felt a little embarrassed. Raising pigs requires skills, and the pig farm is managed by Uncle Songzi and his two sons, so outsiders have no chance of getting involved.

She wanted to persuade him, but Ji Qinglan just skipped the conversation and talked about other topics.

In the evening, when Secretary Zhang came back, she told him about this. Secretary Zhang was a smart man and understood it immediately. He assigned her a job the next day.

I worked with a group of seven or eight-year-old children to collect grass for pigs. The work was simple and not tiring. Two backpacks a day were enough, but the work points were few, only three a day.

Secretary Zhang had his own explanation for this. She was a woman with a child and could not do heavy work, so he asked her to lead a group of children to cut grass for pigs. Moreover, Ji Qinglan only earned four or five work points for doing other things.

Of course the team members had no objection to having one less person competing for work points.

The next day, she took her six half-grown children up the mountain to collect grass for pigs. Standing on the hill, they saw Xiang Qiang being pulled back to the village by an ox cart. Li Xiaoya was sitting on the edge of the cart, crying and wiping her tears.

Xiang Qiang's legs were wrapped with white cloth and one of his arms was in a sling. He looked really miserable.

That day, everyone rushed to save him with hoes and accidentally hurt him. There was nothing they could do about it, it was just because he was too close.

Many people went to visit the injured after work, but in fact most of them were there to laugh at the joke. During the two days he stayed in the hospital, there was a lot of discussion in the team about whether Xiang Qiang was bitten or not.

Li Xiaoya stammered and burst into tears. She denied it to her mother and drove away the group of people who came to watch the fun.

He sat on the doorstep and cursed for a long time.

Ji Qinglan heard it all on the mountain.

"Aunt Ji, you can eat sweet root, it's very sweet."

Chen Chunju, a little girl with messy hair, brought over a handful of grass roots. These were the common hairy grass roots in the countryside. They were plump and white after being washed, and tasted sweet when chewed. They were a favorite snack for children.

At this moment, all six children took a bite and greedily sucked the sweetness inside.

Ji Qinglan only took one and thanked with a smile: "Thank you Chen Chunju, I'll eat this one, you can eat the rest."

"Oh!" Chen Chunju responded embarrassedly.

With a faint sweet taste lingering in his mouth, Ji Qinglan looked at the six children, four boys and two girls, all seven or eight years old, thin and small, wearing patched clothes with shoes that exposed their toes.

She called all the little carrots over, took out a handful of candy, and smiled like a wolf grandmother: "Auntie has some White Rabbit milk candy here, do you want some?"

The six people stared at the candy in her hand with their eyes wide open. They didn't even need to be asked whether they wanted to eat it or not, their eagerness was reflected in their eyes.

"You can eat it, but you have to help me." Ji Qinglan continued to seduce.

Therefore, Ji Qinglan hired a group of child laborers in exchange for two bags of grass and twelve candies.

Looking at the children working hard at cutting the grass, Ji Qinglan sighed that he was really smart.

She was not idle either, she was knocking around with a stick, and only let the children work after making sure there was no danger nearby.

He picked some green wild vegetables and collected a bundle of dry firewood.

It was the time of lush grass and singing birds, with tender buds all over the hills and fields, and candies hanging in front of them. The six children worked so hard that they had almost no time to play. They filled two backpacks before noon, and she gave each of them two candies as promised.

The children who got the candies were very happy. Some couldn't wait to put them in their mouths. Chen Chunju and another girl only ate one and carefully put the other away.

After handing in the task, Ji Qinglan had completed her work for the day. Secretary Zhang smiled and praised her for her speed. The team leader watched from the side and didn't know what to say, so he just asked the scorer to record the work points.

There was no need to work in the afternoon, so after lunch, Ji Qinglan carried his son up the mountain again.

The further she went in, the less people there were. She put the wild vegetables and firewood she picked along the way into the space.

515: What kind of evil host is this?

After reaching a flat open space, Ji Qinglan finally stopped. This place was very far away from the village and no human voices could be heard.

Ji Qinglan took a blanket and put her son on it, then took out his toys and let him play with them by himself.

"Be good and don't disturb your mother's martial arts practice." Ji Qinglan put Xiao Hei on the blanket, opened the system panel and started boxing.

As she studied further, the space at home became increasingly cramped, making it difficult for her to move around. It was also inconvenient to move around in the yard as people passed by from time to time.

Ji Xincheng was very well behaved. He sat on the blanket and watched her practice martial arts, occasionally howling or grabbing his cat brothers to play with them.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Qinglan stopped to rest, fed her son milk powder, and continued practicing.

At four o'clock, Ji Qinglan stopped, wiped the sweat off her face, hugged her son and gave him a kiss: "You are really my good son. It is my greatest luck to have you in my life."

This son is so easy to take care of. Perhaps his previous life was too short and too hard, so he came to repay his gratitude in this life.

Ji Xincheng also held his mother's face and kissed her madly, calling her mother.

Now he can utter two complete words.

"Let's go down the mountain." Ji Xincheng carried his son down the mountain, picked up a bundle of firewood and a bag of wild vegetables. This would be his excuse if someone asked about it.

Xiao Hei followed closely, occasionally catching insects on the road.
