When Xiaoxiao went to bed at night, he discovered another big problem: there was no electricity here.
There is no toilet either.
Are the toilets on the train usable?
I tried it a little, and it turned out that I shouldn't have expected too much. No, the door couldn't be opened.
Never mind, go to sleep! I have to go to work tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiaoxiao was worried that she might not be able to get up, but what happened?
I was woken up by the sound of gongs early in the morning.
I packed up quickly, ate two pieces of egg cake and went out.
"Xiaoxiao, you are here."
Seeing Wang Xiuxiu greet him, Xiaoxiao walked over. Although he didn't have a good relationship with the people in the Youth Home, he was also a youth, so he still needed to work with them.
The team leader said: "Okay, today the new educated youth's task is to break corn. Someone will guide you later. You should learn well. The old educated youth will do the same as before."
After saying that, Yaoyao didn't care anymore and followed the crowd to the cornfield and started working.
She forgot that she hadn't done farm work for a long time. Although she could often work with this body, it was only housework, not farm work.
My hands started to hurt before I had even picked two baskets.
Xiaoxiao looked at the others and thought she was the fastest, so she was fine. She stopped, touched a candy, put it in her mouth, and continued to break it!
I gave myself a little encouragement and thought that I should perform better since I just arrived.
In the countryside, only diligent children are liked by others. She was particularly unpopular when she was a child, but she had her family to protect her at that time, but now no one helps her.
I really envy those who have systems and space.
She didn't envy anything else, but she envied others for being able to buy powerful pills or have spiritual spring water to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
I don't know why the original novel doesn't have any description about the countryside, even though it was clearly there for six or seven years.
During the lunch break, Xiao Xiao made herself some wild vegetable porridge, which was perfect for summer. Then she cooked a sausage and finally felt alive.
But looking at my red palms, hand cream is of no use.
Xiaoxiao started to rummage through the luggage.
What if there are gloves?
It turned out to be of no use, as the gloves were for winter and had no fingers, making them completely useless for any work.
Hearing the gong sound signaling the start of work, Xiaoxiao finally cut off a pair of leggings used for footwear and made gloves.
Not to mention, apart from feeling a little hot, there's nothing wrong with her. At least her hands don't hurt anymore, and it doesn't affect her work.
"Ye Zhiqing, what are you wearing on your hands? It doesn't look like a glove." asked the aunt next to her.
Because the sound was so loud, other people also looked over.
"These educated youth from the city are just spoiled."
"Yeah, in our countryside, who wears gloves when working?"
"Look at her, she's wrapped up tightly from head to toe, isn't she feeling the heat?"
"That's right, or do you wish you didn't have to work because you got a heat stroke?"
...
Xiaoxiao: ...Who did I offend?
"Aunt, I'm just worried that my hands will get hurt and I won't be able to work. My palms are all peeling after working this morning. It hurts so much."
"As for wrapping my whole body tightly, I have no choice. You see, when this leaf scratches my skin, red bumps appear."
After saying that, he took off his gloves and showed them to others.
The palms of my hands are red, and the backs of my hands are scratched and swollen, which looks miserable.
Xiaoxiao didn't know whether her original skin was so fragile or it was a problem she had herself.
Her skin is like that. If it touches something dirty, it has to be washed as soon as possible, otherwise it will leave red marks.
Seeing how miserable she was, she didn't cry out in pain or ask for leave, so everyone finally let her go.
"I'm sorry, Ye Zhiqing, I misunderstood you."
"Yes, yes, you are a good person and you have not shirked labor, but you city people have delicate skin."
...
Xiaoxiao only breathed a sigh of relief when everyone finally got busy and stopped paying attention to her.
The woman who started calling her aunt said in a low voice a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Ye Zhiqing, I was just curious about how you made your gloves, but I didn't expect to attract other people's attention.
We country folks just have loud voices, I didn't expect to cause you trouble.
It's okay if your hands hurt, so you can work slowly. I'll help you after I'm done. "
After saying that, he quickened his pace, and someone behind him actually came to help.
Xiaoxiao really didn't expect the other party to really help, and thought it was just a casual remark.
"Thank you, auntie." Xiaoxiao said gratefully.
"Hey, you're welcome. Is your hand okay? Go back to Old Chen and ask him to take a look at it. It will be healed soon. If it doesn't work, don't force yourself to do it. Ask the captain for leave or find you a different job.
I can see that you are too inexperienced to do this."
Xiao Xiao: "Aunt, what kind of job can I get? I don't know what I can do."
Is it picking grass for pigs?
The man even thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a lot of suitable ones. It's just that everyone is rushing to do the light work. Show your hand to the captain. He's a nice guy and should help you change."
Xiao Xiao: "Thank you, auntie."
"Don't call me auntie, my name is Liu Cuilan, you can just call me Aunt Cuilan."
"Okay Aunt Cuilan."
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Aunt Cuihua, Xiaoxiao went to find the Old Chen she mentioned.
"Is Grandpa Chen here?" Xiaoxiao shouted outside the house.
"Who is it?" As he asked, the person in the room came out.
"Grandpa Chen, my hand is injured, I want you to help me with some medicine."
"Let me see."
Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand.
Old Man Chen: "It's nothing serious, just apply some herbs. It's just a red bump on the back of my hand, it's a bit troublesome. Pay attention to cleanliness, if it doesn't work, ask the captain to change your job."
Xiao Xiao: "...Okay, thank you."
It seems that she really needs to find the team leader to change her job. She should talk to him about it. Her skin looks the same as in her previous life, so she definitely can't harvest rice, wheat, sorghum, etc.
In short, anything with fur is not good.
Alas, she is indeed suitable to be a little waste.
After dinner, I put half a pound of brown sugar in my pocket and went to the captain's house again.
"Uncle Captain, can you help me change my job?"
Wang Youjun was smoking a cigarette and seemed unwilling to agree.
Well, if it were that easy, wouldn't everyone want to change jobs?
Xiaoxiao can only play the victim.
He stretched out his hands, both of which were smeared with herbs. They were now green and lush, which scared the captain.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..."
I was choked by the smoke.
Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, as if she had scared someone.
Auntie Tan also came into the room when she heard the coughing. "Cough, cough, cough, you just keep coughing. I told you not to smoke a long time ago."
Wang Dajun waved his hand and looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "Ye Zhiqing, what's wrong with your hand? I didn't hear anyone was injured today?"
Xiao Xiao said embarrassedly: "It's not serious, just the palms of my hands are peeling. Mainly because my skin is easily allergic and will get big bumps. I can't touch hairy crops, so I asked you to change your job."
Wang Youjun frowned and asked, "Hairy crops? That means you can't do any work with wheat, rice, sorghum or corn?"
Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment.
Wang Youjun: "Old man Chen didn't say if there was any solution?"
Xiao Xiao: "Innate."
Wang Youjun: ...You are really born to be rich, so why are you going to the countryside?
A little silence.
Aunt Tan said, "You can just switch jobs. The girl has never worked before, so she doesn't know she has this problem. And even though she was injured today, she didn't ask for leave and insisted on finishing the job. Now I'm just asking you to switch jobs."
Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Tan with gratitude.
Wang Youjun continued to ask: "Is there any effect? Just red bumps?"
According to Xiao Xiao's illness in her previous life, "there will be redness and swelling, fever, and in serious cases, difficulty breathing."
The captain was a little unconvinced, "Then how come you're fine after working all day today?"
Xiao Xiao: "Because I wrapped myself up very tightly in the afternoon, it's fine if I don't come into contact with it. It's just too hot, and I'm prone to heat stroke."
I spoke in a very low voice. I felt wronged. I wanted to work hard, but my body was not up to the task.
Wang Youjun: ...
