Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 119 Work Begins

Within two days, Jiang Yu came to Yi Chi with two rabbits and asked him to process them.

"Should I keep the rabbit skin for you?" Yi Chi came out with a knife and gestured at the rabbit twice.

"Yeah." Jiang Yu nodded, then hurried down the mountain.

It was just an ordinary morning, and the long-lost loudspeaker started to sing.

Jiang Yu had finished washing up and was sitting in her room eating breakfast. The door of Xue Li's room next to her creaked open, and she came out sleepily and began to brush her teeth in a daze.

Others also got up and started to pack up.

From now on, all the villagers will work together to open up the land and prepare for the spring planting in the new year.

Jiang Yu continued to work with the people from Team Two. She was very strong, and the land allocated to her was soon dug into a mess. At a glance, the mud was all turned over, and the cuts were all even in size, which showed how much effort she put in.

Because it was a collective job, Xue Li was forced to join in and help hoe the fields.

Chen Jinghan was right next to her. Seeing that she was tired, she let her take a rest, but she was still worried about her.

Lin Anna, who was finally assigned to a group with Chen Jinghan, was so angry that her teeth were about to break. She took several deep breaths and tried to calm down. She smiled warmly, "Brother Jinghan, can you teach me? I don't know how to use this hoe..."

Little did people know that she was so young but always acted magnanimous and kind, without any youthfulness at all, which was really weird.

Xue Li waved at Chen Jinghan and said, "Go ahead, or she won't stop." She was too lazy to listen to Lin Anna calling her brother Jinghan left and right, which was really annoying.

Chen Jinghan also frowned. This guy really couldn't read her expressions. He had rejected her request more than once, so why was he so shameless and kept pestering her?

When she returned to the educated youth camp for lunch at noon, Xue Li sat in the yard, picked the blisters on her palms in the light, and then applied the powder Wu Aiqing had given her. She sighed, "Can't I go cut grass for the pigs?"

Jiang Yu also sighed. Xue Ligan had only managed to acquire two acres of land in the whole morning, and she had done it with all her strength. It was worrying to see, but what could she do?

Except for those who don't work, all the children under 15 years old in the village go to work on the fields. Xue Li is 17 this year, and the villagers will definitely not agree to let her not work on the fields.

Xue Li felt so depressed that he didn't even want to eat lunch.

Clearly, in those novels, the heroines have money and don't have to do heavy work, so why is it different for her? Why do we have to ask everyone to go to the fields together? I'm crying.

Chen Jinghan was also worried about her. She brought out some freshly fried bacon, cabbage and steamed bread and sat opposite her. "Eat something. You still have to be busy this afternoon."

Xue Li was so upset when he heard this that he took a steamed bun and took a big bite. "We have to work together to open the land, work together to plant, and work together to harvest! Why am I so miserable?"

"Shh." Xiong Lijin quickly told her to keep her voice down, "Stop complaining. It's not good if someone hears you."

In an age of national struggle, if you make such negative remarks, people will accuse you of having a negative attitude.

Xue Li pursed his lips, but didn't dare to say anything else.

Several people sat in the yard and had dinner.

Luo Xinci and Yuan Jiaojiao next to them didn't even have the energy to cook, so they just made do with some biscuits and hot water.

Li Fenfang was also very tired, but she still gritted her teeth and cooked a meal on the stove in the alley, and ate it with Luo Chengli.

The big stove in the alley was built by Luo Xinci and his sister, and they also found the pot themselves, so it was an asset shared by four people.

After more than a week of continuous land clearing, the educated youth who had been raised for a whole winter were reduced to their original state.

The female educated youth's hair was greasy, and the male educated youth's clothes were smelly. Except for Jiang Yu who was not too tired and Xue Li who was too concerned about his reputation, everyone else's appearance became slovenly due to the ravages of farm work.

Lin Anna looked at Xue Li, who was always clean and refreshing, and bit her lips so hard that she almost made them bleed.

But she couldn't insist on washing every day, so she could only brainwash herself, forget her dirty image, and continue to work hard behind Chen Jinghan.

Chen Jinghan and Fu Biao really found washing their hair troublesome, so on the second day of the land reclamation, they both cut their hair very short. The knife was almost close to the scalp, leaving only less than one centimeter of hair roots on the scalp to hold their ground.

Yi Chi was bewitched by Fu Biao and within two days he also had a buzz cut.

As a result, this style seemed to make people look more energetic or something, and all the men in the village followed suit.

One day, Jiang Yu finished his work and left early, preparing to go into the mountains to check on wood. As a result, looking down from Yaoer Mountain, he saw a sea of ​​green-skinned heads. Except for the women with long braids, most of the men had this hairstyle. Some of them even touched their buzz cuts from time to time, as if they were very satisfied with the feel of the head.

Tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Yu didn’t understand what the men were thinking, so he turned around and continued climbing the mountain.

After the land is opened, it is time to sow spring wheat.

Xue Li was still rejoicing that his suffering was finally over the day before, but he was met with bad news again when he started work the next day and had to rush to plant.

"I really want to faint." Xue Li whispered to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu patted her sister on the back and told her to hold on.

This busy work took almost a month.

Jiang Yu took some time out of his busy schedule to study the wooden box with a mechanism that the aunt at the scrap yard had given him last time, while also making a model of an ancient building.

Because there was no suitable wood on hand, and Jiang Yu also felt that wire was easier and more convenient to pinch, so this model is still made of wire.

It is just a small pavilion with a nine-curve corridor. The whole thing is very small, but Jiang Yu tried his best to make it more exquisite and beautiful according to the original shape in the picture.

After spring planting is completed, there is still more work to be done.

The people in the front yard of the educated youth site exchanged for vegetable seeds and began to cultivate their private plots.

Seeing this, Wu Aiqing in the small group also went to the villagers to exchange vegetable seeds and brought them back. He then led the male educated youth to clear a piece of land on the side, loosen the soil and sow seeds.

Time flies quickly when we are busy.

After Jiang Yu finished watering the vegetable garden, he filled the water tank in his room to 80%.

When she went in and out, Lin Anna was watching from a distance.

Just when Jiang Yu thought she was just daydreaming, Lin Anna suddenly said, "Jiang Yu, do you like Xiong Lijin?"

Jiangyu? What are you talking about? And do I know you well? You just talk to me casually!

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yu put down the bucket and looked at her unkindly.

Lin Anna smiled ambiguously, "Oh, I'm just asking, if it's the case, I can help you~"

Jiang Yu was speechless, "What? You failed to harass Chen Jinghan, so you want to take a roundabout way and start from my place to get in? Then why don't you go out and ask around, am I, Jiang Yu, a good-tempered person?" She took two steps forward and slowly approached. Her tall figure stood in front of Lin Anna, with an amazing momentum.

Lin Anna shuddered subconsciously, but still kept smiling, "I just mean well..."
