Chapter 26: Continue to work and find a way
Liu Yuhan looked at Wen Yi with satisfaction, thinking that Mao Chuntao could handle the smart new educated youth.
For a while, the educated youth quickly finished their meal, then lay down again, slowly waiting for the afternoon to come. When they worked, they were always looked down upon by the villagers.
But as long as they don't evade labor, others won't dare to talk nonsense or report them?
"Let's go, it's almost time, there's still work to do in the fields." Ma Juan heard the noise outside and started calling for help. She was physically strong, so her condition wasn't that serious.
"Oh, this is too tiring." Wen Yi was already quite weak, and now he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still had to persevere.
"Yes, I know I'm tired, but I didn't know I was this tired. I don't make much money a day, but I'm exhausted.
I wanted to go buy some medicine. My back and waist have been aching for a while now and I really can't stand it anymore.
I heard there's a great doctor here who might have some medicine. Do you want to join us? We'll go buy some after work."
Li Pingping was very annoyed with work, and now she still couldn't stand it. In her previous life, there were people to help her, but now everyone was scattered, and she could only do it alone.
As for this doctor, she only found out about him later. The village didn't allow anyone to talk about him, and he was kept secret. It seemed that he was a servant of some capitalist. She didn't know the details, he was quite mysterious, but she had money, so she didn't believe it. She couldn't buy anything with money.
"it is good."
Wen Yi was a little confused. Is there really any good doctor in this village? But she didn't ask any more questions. At most, she could just make one more trip. It was rare that this young lady had such a good temper.
Wang Panpan was watching the Jiang family cooking sweet potatoes in the kitchen, which made her very greedy. She smelled the smell, and felt drowsy, and slowly let herself doze off.
I was suddenly awakened. "Sister Panpan, why did you fall asleep here? If you want to sleep, go to bed. My dad's fire burned all your hair.
By the way, my mother is leaving soon, do you want to go with her?"
Jiang Yu came into the room with a task and called for help. Seeing this scene, I wanted to laugh. Why is Sister Panpan acting like a child?
"Yes, I'll be there soon." She got up and ran outside.
As soon as I went out, a cold wind hit me.
"Pan Pan, let's go."
"it is good."
"Aunt, is there any other work to do in our village?" Wang Panpan was a little curious and wanted to find out some information. She didn't want to go to the fields as it was too tiring. Besides, she was young, so the village chief should not refuse.
“There is a pig farm that raises mission pigs, and they raise them quite small every year.
What's wrong? Don't you want to work in the fields? You can go to pick grass for the pigs, but the work points are too few, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to eat. "Aunt Jiang San was not a fool, and when she heard the child's thoughts, she didn't hide it.
It's great that this news is known to everyone and you can also do me a favor.
“Oh, I’m quite small and I don’t eat much, but I don’t know if the village chief will agree.
Also, I feel like I am a drag in the store. I want to grow up a little bit and have more strength before I can work in the fields. Otherwise, I am afraid that the work points I earn from working won’t be enough to pay for my medical treatment.”
Wang Panpan felt a little depressed and spoke out her true thoughts. She didn't refuse because she was going to talk to the village chief tonight.
"That's right. You are only two years older than my youngest daughter. She has never worked in the fields. Now she just cleans the house, collects firewood, and tramples some wild vegetables.
And you are shorter than me, and the work points you earn are not enough for you to eat. It is better to go and pick grass for pigs, at least it can nourish your body."
Aunt Jiang San answered sincerely. She had no bad intentions, she just explained the pros and cons. Of course, I admire Wang Panpan very much. This child insisted on staying up all morning today. I thought she would cry and make a fuss, but who knew that she was so strong.
Wang Panpan worked hard to work another centimeter in the afternoon. When he returned to Jiang's house, he was so hungry that he stuffed a steamed bun into his stomach and swallowed it in three or two bites.
She didn't eat dinner with them either, saying she had no appetite.
She started to rummage around. She hadn't even packed up the two packages from yesterday. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, face wash, hair wash, towels, vanishing cream, osmanthus cake, candy, cloth, dried vegetable bags, pickle bottles, canned food, pork jerky, and beef jerky that she had specially hired someone to make. The beef cost dozens of yuan and was hard to come by. Brown sugar, ginger candy, malted milk, milk powder... these supplements were bought at high prices on the black market. She put away all kinds of grains, rice and flour. She couldn't just take them out for nothing.
It would be bad for her to eat alone while the Jiang family was around; but if she wanted to share with others, no one would do that unless it was unjust. So, let's put it aside for now.
In order to support herself, Wang Panpan went to the black market and bought things regardless of the price, so she didn't want to give up because of other people's opinions or fear of trouble.
So, the cloth was left outside. Maybe she could exchange it with the villagers for some dry goods and send them to Sister Chunhong. Of course, she could keep a lot of it.
As for other more valuable things, they were all put away, leaving only a little food outside, and leaving very little. Anyway, if there was something you really wanted to eat, you could find a place and eat it secretly.
The space is the safest, and it also has a set of servants she specially prepared for cooking.
Finally, Wang Panpan said hello to the Jiang family and walked out. Of course, she didn't take anything now. Living in someone else's house is not convenient at all. She has to be monitored all the time, especially for people in this era. Any smell or strange movement will bring trouble to herself.
He took out half a pound of brown sugar, a pound of snacks and a pack of cigarettes, put them in a small basket, covered them with a piece of cloth, and went straight to the village chief's house.
Luckily, no one asked me questions on the road. Although I met some people, they were all busy with their own things and didn't ask any more questions.
"Who?"
"Aunt, I'm new here. I came here to see the village chief for something." Wang Panpan had been here in her previous life, from a side road, which was quite close.
"Wang Zhiqing, come in quickly. You are the youngest educated youth the old man mentioned! How come you are so capable? You want to go to the countryside to build the motherland. My child is just like you. When he grew up, he played everywhere." The village head's wife looked kind. She led the person into the house and asked curiously.
"Hello, auntie. These are the gifts I brought for you." Wang Panpan handed the things over and the village chief's wife took them.
"You always like to ask questions. Wang Panpan, the educated youth, you are too polite. Take your things back." The village chief saw it and reminded.
"I brought it specially for you, so just accept it." Wang Panpan refused to take it and smiled shyly.
"Wang Zhiqing, what's the matter with you coming to see me? Are you uncomfortable where you live? Or are you having a conflict with someone?" The village chief was a little curious. This kid came to see him alone, maybe something big happened again.
"Hello, village chief. I have not had any conflicts with anyone, nor have I been wronged. I just went to work today and felt really uncomfortable. I am afraid that I will get sick again. What should I do if I don't have money to buy medicine?
And as you can see, I am short and weak, so I am not good at farm work, so I am thinking about whether there is any other work." Wang Panpan looked at the village chief with a flattering face, expecting an answer.
The village chief looked at me, a little hesitant, and said after a while: "Well, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were in poor health? If I had known, I would have arranged other work for you, but those work points are too low. Are you sure you are not afraid of starving?
Even if our village helps you, we can only give you a few dollars a month, and you still have to pay the rent. You will definitely not be able to survive on your own by then, so you'd better persevere."
"Uncle village chief, I'll tell you the truth. My oldest sister is 20 years old, and I'm the youngest. They haven't started a family yet, so why am I the one going to the countryside?
My parents don't like me because I'm not a boy. I've been learning to do housework since I was two or three years old. I have to do my housework well every day, otherwise I'll be beaten. So the doctor said that my body has been overdrawn. I didn't know what it meant before, but now I know that I can't do heavy work.
I like the days in the countryside, but I don't know if my body can keep going, so please help me make some arrangements." Wang Panpan said half-truthfully, she was not sure what the village chief thought.
"Well, then I will arrange for you to cut grass for pigs, but don't complain about the low work points." The village chief looked at his wife Huanxi with a painful face. That thing was very valuable if he had less of it. He couldn't return the things he had received, so he could only arrange it.
“Thank you, village chief, for your hard work. You are really good people. I am so lucky to have met you.
"Village head uncle and aunt, I'll leave first, thank you for your help." Wang Panpan bowed and thanked them, she was really touched.
Even if she had to work as pig grass for two years, she would only be 16 years old. By then, her body would definitely be able to recover, unlike her previous life, when she would only be 1 meters tall.
