Chapter 75 Gossip

Xu Shuhua choked on the potatoes and rolled her eyes. She hurriedly went to the kitchen water tank and took a ladle of water.

She held the lunch box and drank a few mouthfuls of it. After a long while, she walked out and said, "I said I was helping plant the rice, but in fact I just stood on the side and watched."

Walking back to the main room and letting out a long sigh of relief, Xu Shuhua said: "As soon as we stepped into the field, the aunt on the team started to chase people away, saying that we didn't understand when we first arrived, so we should take a closer look and make sure we understand before going to the field."

Si Ningning nodded slightly and understood.

Transplanting rice seedlings is different from cutting wheat. Wheat is cut slowly at best or the length of the cut wheat stalks is different, which affects the bundling.

Seedlings are still seedlings after all. If they are planted incorrectly, they may result in reduced yields or even no harvest.

You should also be cautious.

“Take your time, you have been watching for so long today, maybe you can officially start work tomorrow.”

Xu Shuhua nodded wilfully.

Song Xiaoyun sighed and looked depressed, "I should go harvest wheat with you then. Although we didn't do much work at the end of the day, we were standing there stupidly. Not to mention the sun, it was just a glance of people coming and going. The eyes are so annoying.”

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked around cautiously, then lowered her head and said in a weak voice, "I want to go home..."

Song Xiaoyun’s voice was weak, but her words hit everyone’s hearts. The sound of the lunch boxes in the room suddenly fell silent.

Si Ningning also stopped eating potatoes.

…want to go back home.

This matter is not just a matter of playing house. It comes as soon as it comes and leaves as soon as it comes.

Si Ningning said nothing, but from the corner of her eye, she noticed Xu Shuhua's hand squeezing Tudou beside her.

Thinking about it, even if you have great perseverance, you will inevitably feel reluctant and missing when you are thousands of miles away from home.

The room was eerily quiet. At this moment, Jiang Yue, who had been wolfing down the meal in silence, suddenly spoke:

“It will be okay if you go back?”

Si Ningning tilted his head, and Song Xiaoyun and Xu Shuhua also looked sideways at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue has an average appearance, but her skin is very fair. After being exposed to the sun for a day, no change in her skin color can be seen under the kerosene lamp, but it is obvious that there is some peeling on the side of her face.

It is sunburn.

Despite this, her expression was very indifferent, as if she was a different person compared to when she usually looked at Si Ningning.

"When I go back, a family of four, five, or even six or seven people squeeze into a small room together. Every day, I compete with my brothers and sisters for a set of clothes and a bed. The ration is always gruel..." Jiang Yue lowered her eyes and bit hard. After taking a bite of potatoes, he tried to cheer up his cheeks, "So, what's the benefit of going back?"

Si Ningning's pupils flickered slightly, and his perception and impression of Jiang Yue had subtle changes.

She thought that Jiang Yue was a typical example of someone who disliked the poor and loved the rich, and disliked others. But after hearing this, she felt that there might be a story about Jiang Yue.

Song Xiaoyun's lips flapped slightly, but she didn't say anything. She buried her head in an angle that no one could see, and ate her meal with tears in her eyes.

Jiang Yue is right.

It would not be good to go back. She is a girl, and her parents will always favor her two younger brothers.

The atmosphere was already tense, and the sound of sniffling was contagious. In the blink of an eye, the three girls around Si Ningning started sniffing one after another.

Si Ningning was silent for a long time. He finally took the lead and slammed the table and changed the subject: "Hey, didn't you hear any gossip while you were working today?"

Song Xiaoyun sniffed and asked with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, "What gossip?"
