70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 654 Working
Wang Wenming led his friends to the plot of land that his family was responsible for.

The five children looked at the entire rice field, which resembled a golden ocean, with the heavy ears of rice bowing their heads. They felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Xiaoyu smiled happily: "So beautiful!"

But once she entered the rice paddy, Xiaoyu lost her excitement. The paddy was really wet and hot, like a big steamer, making it hard for her to breathe.

Mosquitoes and small insects swarmed in, and Xiaoyu frowned, deciding to wear a mask tomorrow.

An older woman looked at them and said, "Why are you city kids working in the countryside? It must be so tiring!"

She noticed that these children were all well-cared for and clearly did not come from poor families. She wondered what their parents were thinking, that they would send their children to work in the countryside.

Xiao Yu replied, "Workers, peasants and soldiers are one family. We're just here to experience it. If we go to the countryside as educated youth later, it will be easier for us to adapt."

The old lady agreed.

The educated youth in the brigade were exhausted when they first arrived, and now they all want to slack off during the double harvest season. I didn't expect these kids to be so conscientious.

"Then you guys work hard, and take a break when you're tired."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Xiaoyu thanked her politely.

The old woman looked at her and felt as sweet as if she had drunk brown sugar water. "Oh, what a good girl. If you need anything later, come to me."

"it is good!"

Xiao Yu looked at Wang Wenming as she watched her leave.

Because Wang Wenming has some experience in double-cropping.

Wang Wenming said, "Let's split into three teams. Xiaoyu, Aijiaohu, and I will be responsible for harvesting rice, Xiaohe and Maomao will be responsible for transportation, and the squad leader will be responsible for threshing the rice."

No one has an opinion.

Wang Wenming then demonstrated to Xiaoyu and Aijiaohu: "We need to bend down, open our left hand with the tiger's mouth facing down, and gather the rice stalks with our backs. Hold the sickle in your right hand and pull it back close to the ground! Try it out, and I'll teach you again."

Xiao Yu and Dwarf Tiger followed each other's example.

They all did a good job.

Wang Wenming was satisfied: "That's it!"

The three of them gathered the harvested rice into a pile, and Yang Yihe and Mao Mao were responsible for carrying the cut rice to the threshing machine.

The edges of the rice leaves were quite sharp. Yang Yihe was fine wearing long sleeves, but Mao Mao, wearing short sleeves, quickly got red marks on his arms. To make matters worse, it was hot, and when soaked with sweat, he felt itchy and painful.

He Yuxiang saw this and immediately swapped clothes with Mao Mao.

The two didn't say anything and continued working. He Yuxiang stepped on the pedal, and the roller spun rapidly. With his movements, the grains of rice fell off with a crackling sound.

After working for three hours straight, the sun grew increasingly scorching, and Grandpa Wang came to call the children home for dinner.

Short-legged Tiger straightened his back, truly feeling the pain in his waist and back: "Damn it, my back is going to break."

Wang Wenming sat weakly on the ground, "Me too!"

He Yuxiang stepped forward and asked Xiaoyu, "How are you? Are you tired?"

Xiaoyu nodded: "So tired."

There were leeches in the field. She worked quickly while keeping an eye on the leeches. The sun was strong, and she was covered in sweat. She kept bending over and working non-stop. It was really tiring.

Wang Wenming said weakly, "But you did the work of both of us by yourself."

The two boys, He and Dwarf Tiger, harvested about the same amount of rice as Xiao Yu, which was truly embarrassing.

Mao Mao, with his arms hanging limply, walked forward to Xiao Yu like a zombie: "Xiao Yu, how can you be so amazing!"

Xiao Yu pursed her lips: "It's alright."

She noticed that the older women there were working even faster than her. If she went to the countryside to collect work points, she would never get ten.

Her simple "It's alright" silenced the remaining five people. Grandpa Wang called the children home, then said to Xiaoyu, "You did a great job. Not only are you better than the educated youth, but it's rare for any child in our village to work as fast as you."

He had indeed underestimated the child.

According to his understanding, Chen Qing and his wife doted on the child, but he didn't expect the child to work so hard.

Xiaoyu followed Grandpa Wang to his house and looked up to ask, "If I were to work in the countryside, and I did this well, how many work points could I get?"

"If you were to do that all day, you could do at least eight! That's really impressive." Grandpa Wang thought Xiaoyu was as grown-up as an adult.

Mao Mao gasped, "Xiao Yu, you're amazing!"

It's the busy farming season now, and women can get up to ten work points. If Xiaoyu can get eight, that's amazing.

Xiao Yu looked down at her hands.

I secretly decided that I could try a little harder.

Looking at his sister's expression, He Yuxiang realized he couldn't persuade her anymore.

When it comes to things she has made her own choices, she will do her best regardless of what others say.

For example, when she suddenly had the idea to be number one in her grade, she would study diligently and work hard, eventually succeeding in winning first place.

Even when playing games, she would practice diligently, such as flipping over a firecracker, jumping rope, and throwing beanbags, and she became the best at them.

The only thing that hasn't gone smoothly for Xiaoyu right now is the position of class monitor, but He Yuxiang thinks that if Xiaoyu perseveres, she could definitely become the class monitor.

My sister isn't as driven by ambition as he is, but once she sets her sights on a goal, she can be more focused and dedicated than him, and she won't be swayed by the opinions of others.

When Xiaoyu heard Mao Mao's praise, she turned around and said to him, "You were great today too!"

Mao Mao nodded in deep agreement: "Yes! I was super diligent today."

Grandpa Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group of children were quite energetic. "We're here. Let's go wash our hands first."

To prepare for the children's work, he specially bought a pound of pork to nourish them.

After washing their hands, the children went to the table and ate their rice in silence.

While they were engrossed in their meal, someone next door was cursing: "Eat, eat, all you know is food! Do you think we have city folks in our family? You want to eat pork? What a pipe dream!"

"Uncle and the others..."

"Your uncle, your uncle, you call him your uncle every day, you worry about him every day, but does he worry about you every day? He'd rather give food to outsiders than give food to you!"

……

Everyone understood those sarcastic words.

Wang Wenming said angrily, "Don't mind them, they always come to my house to freeload."

Grandpa Wang patted his grandson on the back: "Alright, let's eat."

Wang Wenming snorted.

None of the five children said a word.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Grandpa Wang arranged rooms for them to sleep.

Xiaoyu and Yang Yihe lay on the bed, with only a straw mat and a palm-leaf fan.

Xiaoyu rolled onto the bed.

Yang Yihe saw that as soon as Xiaoyu touched the mat, she softly lay down like a fluffy little kitten, which was super cute. So she took a palm leaf fan and gently fanned herself and Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu muttered, "I'll fan you later."

Xiaohe lay down next to her, just about to tell her to go to sleep, when she heard even and long breathing sounds coming from beside her.
