Chapter 204 Finding a Target
Chapter 204 Finding a Target
The Shi family had the most luxurious breakfast in history. The whole family was in high spirits and extremely happy. Tu Shan successfully became a distinguished guest of the Shi family. The thrifty old lady Shi sincerely asked her to stay for a few more days.
Tu Shan still had a mission to complete, so she agreed.
After breakfast, all the members of the Shi family, from the old couple in their fifties and sixties to the little ones of four or five years old, had to go to work.
Xiao Keke spent half a day adapting yesterday and had to go out today.
If it wasn't the busy farming season when she came, she would probably have been able to take one more day off, but it was the autumn harvest season, and even the teachers in the village school had to take a holiday to work.
There are more than a thousand people in the village, but Tu Shan is the only one who is idle.
She didn't find the target last night and thought it might be because it was dark, so she continued to look for it in the fields today.
People are always happy to eat Tu Shan's meat. Last night, all the villagers, young and old, ate Tu Shan's meat. Today, the villagers were very happy to eat her meat. They greeted her as soon as they saw her. They were even more enthusiastic than yesterday. They asked her when she would be free to go up the mountain again so that they could accompany her to work.
The intention behind eating meat is obvious.
Tu Shan smiled and said that she could go up the mountain at any time, but she couldn't deliver meat to everyone often.
Strolling from the beginning to the end of the village, I saw Xiao Keke picking sweet potatoes with a group of little girls.
The sweet potatoes dug out from the ground must be rubbed clean of mud, the vines and messy roots must be broken off, and placed in a basket, which will then be carried to the cellar.
Picking sweet potatoes is the easiest job, which involves rubbing the mud and breaking off the vine roots. It is usually done by children under ten years old and elderly people around sixty years old.
Xiao Keke got such an easy job thanks to Tu Shan, which made the other educated youth envious.
Especially the four educated youth who traveled with Xiao Keke.
They came for three days and dug sweet potatoes for three days. Their hands were covered with blisters. If they were not careful, they would dig their feet. They grimaced in pain, but no one cared.
If they accidentally dig up a bad sweet potato, they will be scolded, saying that they are not good at anything and that nothing is left after eating it, and they are devalued.
Some people were unwilling and aggrieved, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves.
I could still tolerate it before, but with the comparison of Xiao Keke, I can’t tolerate it no matter what.
The four of them pushed each other, and finally pushed out a female educated youth, Wang Yao.
"Keke, my hand hurts so much. Can you exchange hands with me?" Wang Yao spread out her bloody hands, pleading with eyes full of grievance.
Xiao Keke tilted her head to look at her, a look of surprise and pity on her face: "Wow, your hands are broken, how miserable."
Wang Yao nodded repeatedly. Yes, yes, yes, she was miserable. “Keke, can you change it?”
Xiao Keke: "No, if I change, I will be the one who hurts my hand."
Wang Yao...
"Just change for a while, so I can take a break, okay?"
"No." Xiao Keke refused mercilessly, and turned around, facing the female educated youth with her butt. She was most afraid of pain.
Wang Yao was so angry that her face turned red. The laughter from the villagers around her was so loud that she felt so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
Damn Xiao Keke, what a selfish freak.
"Keke, we are educated youth who boarded the train at the same time and come from the same place. Regardless of emotion or reason, we should help each other.
I just asked you to replace me for a while. It's so selfish of you not to help with such a small matter."
Wang Yao looked at me and said, "You disappoint me so much. If you don't trade with me, I will never be friends with you again. Let's see if you are afraid."
Xiao Keke was not afraid, her eyes were filled with confusion: "But there were hundreds of people on the train with me, and more than ten of us came here as educated youth. I have no feelings or reason with you. We are not familiar with each other."
The folks watching the fun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Tsk, city kids are so shameless."
"You want to take advantage of others and save face. You are a cultured person, but you are not as open and honest as us country people."
"I don't know how many lifetimes of bad luck this girl has had to have, to have met these evil stars. One foot creates people, and the next foot wants to take advantage of others. I don't know if I'm stupid, or I always think others are stupid. I really think others can't see through their true faces, and they want to take advantage of everything."
Wang Yao was so ashamed and angry that she glared at Xiao Keke hatefully and turned away.
Xiao Keke???
baffling.
In the grove, four educated youth faced two men.
"As long as this is accomplished, you will definitely benefit from it." Wang Yao, who had just been offended by Xiao Keke, spoke with resentment in his voice.
The damn Xiao Keke was not only selfish, but also made her lose face. She would remember this.
The two slovenly men licked their lips and laughed, "That educated youth is indeed not difficult to deal with, but the woman with her is not easy to deal with. This little money is not enough."
Wang Yao was disgusted: "A woman can scare you like this, you are really useless."
The scoundrel man was not annoyed, and asked for the price while shaking his legs: "Anyway, increase the price, or you can find someone else.
However, I have always liked to stand up for the weak, and I especially can't stand people playing dirty tricks behind people's backs.
Xiao Zhiqing is a good-natured person with a good family background. He will definitely be generous to his benefactor and won't be so stingy."
He glanced at the ten dollars in Wang Yao's hand.
Tsk, ten dollars. Damn it, he's throwing it around like he's worth ten thousand dollars. Who is he looking down on?
"you……"
"Okay, okay, when it comes to business, we have to negotiate, right? Comrade, you name a price and we'll see if it's suitable. Everything can be negotiated." The male educated youth Wang Jin jumped out.
The scoundrel sneered, not giving anyone any face, and started to bid: "Two hundred."
Wang Yao was angry: "Are you trying to rob me?"
The scoundrel looked at Wang Yao with disdain: "Two hundred per person."
Wang Yao's eyes widened in disbelief. "Two hundred per person? Are you worth it? Don't you even consider what kind of person you are? How dare you ask for two hundred?"
Wang Jin listened to Wang Yao's increasingly sarcastic remarks, and fearing he might offend her, he quickly spoke up, "Two hundred is indeed too much. How about one hundred for both of them?"
Tu Shan stood five hundred meters away, listening to the two parties bargaining about how to avoid her and harm Xiao Keke.
Under extreme pressure, it can be seen that they are all masters of bargaining, and it would be a waste of their talents if they don't work in the vegetable market.
Tu Shan scratched her head. She was very busy and had to go back to take the exam. Why were these people always causing trouble?
After watching for a while, he felt that the threat was not big, so he planned to wait for them to take action before catching them in the act. Anyway, with Xiao Keke's luck, these people couldn't hurt her.
When she turned around, she saw a figure flash away, which looked very much like the target she was looking for.
She chased after him in surprise, but she didn't expect that person to be so fast that she couldn't even catch a corner of his clothes.
He urged the vines to extend rapidly in all directions, finding the direction in which the man was moving and chasing after him.
He chased them all the way to the large group of people working there.
People of this era all wore gray and black clothes, the same gown and pants. It was impossible to tell who was the person just now by looking at their clothes.
Look at the face?
They all faced the earth with their backs to the sky, sweating profusely, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
Tu Shan was amused. There were really few people who could escape from under her nose.
At noon, Tu Shan went to the mountain to hunt two rabbits and found some wild yams as a snack. In order to give the two lazy guys a chance, she deliberately did not invite Xiao Keke to join them.
The Shi family was so happy that they wanted to record Tu Shan in the family tree so that they could become a family, the kind that would never be separated.
Tu Shan smiled and declined.
