Chapter 16: Going to work digging sweet potatoes
"I think so. The restrictions were imposed after Cheng Baicha arrived." Xiaoli responded.
"Try tomorrow." Su Jinhua walked out of the room and saw that it was already two-thirty in the morning. She no longer wanted to lie down in bed and sleep.
I didn't go to bed until four or five last night. I was fighting, arguing, and studying. Now my eyes are sore and my head is dizzy. My body is undernourished, and staying up late is overloading my body.
After sleeping for three and a half hours, she was woken up by the bell ringing for work. She couldn't open her eyes. She squinted her eyes and got up to wash up. Although she didn't need to work for a break, if she didn't go to work, it would give people an opportunity to attack her, so she just Climb all the way to the field.
Wen Shuting looked at Su Jinhua without opening her eyes and couldn't help laughing, "Xiaohua, be careful of tripping."
He wrung out a towel and put it on Su Jinhua's face. The autumn morning was a bit cold, and Su Jinhua shivered.
"You hurry up and wash up. I'll prepare breakfast. You can eat it in the fields later."
Wen Shuting went to the kitchen to boil water to make porridge. Su Jinhua didn't want to drink porridge because it only had pickles.
"Wait a minute, I bought some meat buns yesterday. We will have meat buns for breakfast."
Su Jinhua returned to the house, entered the space and took out a can of soy milk powder that she had prepared before. Because she got up late in the morning, she prepared soy milk powder in the space to eat with bread.
"Tingting, just boil a pot of water. I have soy milk powder here. I'll give you a cup of soy milk for each of you later."
Wen Shuting looked at the light yellow soy milk powder in surprise, "Where does this come from? It smells so fragrant."
"I brought it from home. I dug it out yesterday when I was looking for clothes."
Su Jinhua was not afraid of Wen Shuting's suspicion, because she brought three packages to the countryside and mailed three of them, and Wen Shuting didn't know what was in them.
"Oh, let me boil the water. Are you going to wake Jinbao up?" Wen Shuting thought of a child at home.
Su Jinhua was about to enter the room and ask Jinbao when she saw that he had already gotten up.
"I will go to work with you. I also worked with my parents before."
"Okay, then you go and wash up." Su Jinhua put on his coat and carried a shoulder bag with some biscuits and candies in it. Each person had a palm-sized meat bun, which he carried in his hand and ate while walking.
They met the educated youth who went out together. They saw Su Jinhua and the others eating meat buns early in the morning. They looked at them greedily and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This village is very remote and backward. If you can eat one meat bun a month, you are considered rich. Yes, no one is jealous when they see others eating meat, but thinking of Su Jinhua's fighting ability yesterday, they don't dare to step forward to ask for a beating.
The meat buns were so big that they had not finished eating them when they arrived in the field, and their stomachs were half full. They were served with hot soy milk, not to mention Dopa Shi. The aunt who shared the buns with Su Jinhua and the others could not turn her eyes away from the bread in their hands.
"Su Zhiqing, I see you can't eat any more. Why don't you give me the remaining buns and I'll help you eat them so they don't go to waste."
Hua Pozi's cloudy eyes saw that the buns became extraordinarily bright, brighter than a light bulb, and her greed almost overflowed.
"Yes, it's a shameful waste. I don't mind it." Mrs. Yun agreed. The two of them were old friends and would chat under the big tree at the entrance of the village whenever they had free time.
Su Jinhua raised the corners of her lips and refused bluntly, "It's okay. I can't eat it now, but I can save it for lunch. I still know how to cherish food."
Su Jinhua took out the aluminum lunch box and put the leftover meat buns in it, and Wen Shuting and Jin Bao's meat buns were also put in her lunch box.
The weather is a bit cold, but drinking hot soy milk makes my whole body warm.
"Sister, what is this? It's sweet and delicious." Jinbao asked curiously while drinking soy milk.
"It's soy milk. Drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."
Su Jinhua saw that their task today was to dig sweet potatoes. At a glance, a large area of land was covered with sweet potatoes. They were assigned to share an acre with Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Yun. Today's task was to dig out this acre of sweet potatoes.
When Mrs. Hua heard that it was soy milk, she ran to Jin Bao, grabbed his water bottle and put it under her nose to smell it. The aroma she smelled was different from the soy milk she made. This one had a milky aroma and a strong bean aroma. , raise your hand to your mouth,
"Why is your soy milk different from ours? Let me try it."
"what"
Jinbao shouted anxiously when he saw his soy milk being robbed.
Su Jinhua was on guard when Mrs. Hua came over. When she saw her raising her hand, she quickly grabbed the kettle. She was so fast that some of the soy milk spilled on the ground.
"Huahua, is your hand okay?" Wen Shuting watched some soy milk sprinkle on Su Jinhua's hand, took out a towel, poured cold water on it, and applied it to Su Jinhua's hand.
"Sister..." Jinbao looked at Su Jinhua's hands and turned red, with tears in her eyes trying not to cry.
Wen Shuting took the kettle from Su Jinhua's hand, wiped away the spilled soy milk, and then handed the kettle to Jinbao.
Su Jinhua looked at Mrs. Hua with cold eyes.
"What are you looking at? If you hadn't grabbed it, you wouldn't have given it away. You're so stingy. I'm just thirsty and took a sip of water from you."
Mrs. Hua cocked her neck and looked at Su Jinhua with a confident look on her face.
"It was the first time I saw a thief robbing something, and he was so confident. Why didn't you go to the bank to rob someone if you were so shameless? You could also accuse the bank of why it was so tight on security."
Su Jinhua felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart when she looked at these people who used ignorance and shamelessness as their shield.
"Don't go online, why don't I just ask for words?" Hua Pozi is an old scoundrel and knows how to find reasons for herself to escape.
Su Jinhua looked at her rogue face and didn't want to argue with such a person. Winning the argument would get nothing except a waste of saliva, and she would have to be angered by her shamelessness.
"A sincere reminder, I hope you won't steal my things without notifying me next time, because I will think that I encounter a thief and I will instinctively hit someone."
"Now let me remind you first. I hope you will understand if you are hit by me next time."
Su Jinhua was preparing for the next time. They didn't have to think about the next time because of their urinary properties. Such shameless people thought that others gave in because they were afraid of them.
She condoned their shamelessness, but she didn't want to condone it, and she looked forward to them doing it again next time.
Mrs. Hua smiled proudly, and Su Jinhua took Jinbao and Wen Shuting to the other side to dig sweet potatoes.
Wen Shuting watched Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Yun sitting in the field chatting, digging sweet potatoes slowly, and then looked at the area to be dug. At their speed, they couldn't dig an acre in three days.
"Huahua, they have been lazy. If they don't finish digging today, we won't have centimeters." Wen Shuting said worriedly. If you don't have centimeters, you can't exchange for food at the end of the year. To buy food, you need food stamps.
"It's okay. Let's take it slow. Even if we don't have centimeters, I can still support you two." Su Jinhua knew that Mrs. Hua did it on purpose. They thought that Su Jinhua and the others would be taken advantage of, but they missed Su Jinhua.
Just when Wen Shuting was about to refuse, she was comforted by Su Jinhua.
