Quick Wear: This is my wife

Chapter 285: Educated Youth vs. Village Grass 16

"Guihua, why is this new educated youth here with Xiao Song?" Ma Guifen shouted at the top of her voice. She was known throughout the village as the "loudmouth," with a curiosity like a cat's paw. If there was any movement in the village, she would go and find out.

Her eyes were like searchlights, staring at Qin Zhan and Song Zibai, not missing any details.

"You're talking about Xiao Qin," Wang Guihua replied with a smile. "He's engaged to Xiao Song. Now that Xiao Song is old enough, Xiao Qin is here to marry her."

Wang Guihua and Ma Guifen were from the same village, and later married into Dayangshu Village together. Their relationship was as good as that of sisters.

Moreover, Ma Guifen's man Dai Yonggang is the brigade secretary, which makes her more confident when speaking in the village and more keen to inquire about these family matters.

"Oh! It's been seventy years, and there are still people marrying men?" Ma Guifen widened her eyes, her face full of surprise.

She looked at Qin Zhan and said, "I think this little Qin is dressed very formally, why did he want to marry Xiao Song?"

In her opinion, in this day and age, unless the man’s family has many children, women generally will not choose to marry a man. After all, in traditional concepts, this seems to mean the end of the family line, which is a big deal.

"The Xiao Qin family is a family that values ​​their promises. Old Song was engaged to their family before..." Wang Guihua explained patiently. The two of them chatted with each other, and the people around them were attracted and listened with their ears perked up, enjoying the excitement.

Just then, the team leader stood in front and began to assign today's work.

While listening, the villagers glanced at Qin Zhan and Song Zibai from time to time.

When the villagers heard that Qin Zhan and Song Zibai were assigned to the job of collecting grass for pigs, the envy in their eyes instantly disappeared and turned into contempt.

"No way! They're two grown men, and this is all they do? A grown man should do at least eight work points a day! How can they support themselves with this?"

A villager frowned and said worriedly, "If Xiao Song marries him, she will have to go hungry nine times out of three days!" His words were full of doubts about their future life.

Qin Zhan stood there quietly, hearing everyone's contempt, but he did not refute.

His eyes were firm and gentle, and he thought to himself, as long as he could ensure that his wife didn't go hungry, what did other people's opinions matter?

Besides, if I work hard to get enough work points, I won’t have time to cultivate feelings with my wife.

Qin Zhan and Song Zibai were assigned to the task of collecting grass for pigs, which was a relatively easy task.

In the work in the fields, picking grass for pigs is not as painful as weeding in the fields.

When collecting grass for pigs, you just need to carry a backpack and a sickle and look for grass on the edge of the field and on the hillside.

Although this job is easy, the corresponding work points are not high.

However, getting a backpack and a sickle is a small compensation.

In comparison, weeding in the fields is much more difficult. You have to bend over and pull out the weeds one by one with your hands.

After a long time, the waist felt as if it was being pricked by countless needles and was extremely painful. The hands were also covered with wounds and rough. They were often scratched by weeds. Once the wounds were stained with dirt, the pain was excruciating.

"Captain, I also want to cut grass for the pigs. We can't let them do the easy work." Liu Na's sharp voice suddenly came from the educated youth team. Her shout was like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake, instantly breaking the original atmosphere.

There was a kind of self-righteous stubbornness in her eyes, as if she was announcing her dissatisfaction to everyone.

When the villagers around heard her words, they all smiled kindly.

Especially those scoundrels in the village, they looked at Liu Na like a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep, or like they saw a cash cow.

There was a malicious glint in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a hint of calculation.

Liu Na was still immersed in her own world and was completely unaware of everyone's strange looks.

She thought that she had gained everyone's attention because she had bravely stood up and fought for "fairness" for herself, and she even felt a little proud.

"Are you sure you want to pick grass for the pigs?" The team leader frowned and looked at Liu Na and said, "Picking grass for the pigs only gives you three work points. You have to know that without work points, you won't get any food at the end of the year.

In our area, we only grow one crop a year. There is no work in the winter, and we rely on work points to exchange for food.

If your family can give you a subsidy, then you can pick grass for the pigs." The team leader patiently explained to her, thinking to himself, I hope this girl doesn't cause him any trouble.

When Liu Na heard this, she was stunned. Her smug expression instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of astonishment and hesitation.

She knew very well that there were many children in her family, her parents favored boys over girls, and they always sided with her younger brother.

Her parents had made it clear before that they would no longer care about her after she went to the countryside.

If she gets few work points and there is no food by the end of the year, how will she survive?

Thinking of this, Liu Na felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
