Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 265 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 6

Jiang Yueshu boiled water and blanched the wild vegetables without much care, then took them out and sprinkled some salt on them and mixed them. A dish of cold wild vegetables was ready. Jiang Yueshu tasted it and found it slightly bitter, but not salty, and not delicious at all.

She added more water to cook porridge, placed the coarse grain buns that had been steamed earlier and continued to light the fire. Thanks to the original owner's memories, the meal was ready quickly.

After a while, Liu Hongjuan came over on time to serve rice to the whole family. She first took a look at the amount of wild vegetables and porridge, and when she found that Jiang Yueshu did not eat anything secretly, she started serving the rice.

After everything was served, there was only a little soup left in the pot that was thin enough to reflect one's face on, and a small piece of coarse grain steamed bun on the shelf. These were all Jiang Yueshu's dinner.

After Jiang Yueshu and the others left, she stayed at the stove to scoop out half a bowl of thin soup, and ate it with the coarse grain steamed buns that made her throat sore. When she was almost done eating, she heard cursing coming from the main room.

Jiang Yueshu listened carefully and heard everyone scolding her for her bad cooking. She couldn't help but eat faster in a good mood.

Since they all want her to make it, they have to endure whether it tastes good or not.

After cleaning up the dishes, Jiang Yueshu went to the woodshed and cleaned it carefully before returning to the kitchen.

The stove was already filled with leftover bowls from a family of lazy people, all waiting for her to wash them. After all, this was how it usually was.

Thinking of her next plan, Jiang Yueshu quickly washed the bowl. When she walked out, she saw Liu Qingqing, who looked arrogant. She gave an order with a stern face, "Go boil some water. I want to take a bath."

Jiang Yueshu didn't say anything, but just boiled the water silently. Normally, when she wanted to use water, she would always be scolded by her stepmother and Grandma Jiang for wasting water. It was just right that Liu Qingqing wanted to take a bath, so she also wanted to take a bath.

After Liu Qing finished washing, she brought in hot water and boiled soapberry water and quickly washed herself. After changing into clean clothes, she locked the door of the woodshed.

She took out the medicine from the space and rubbed it all over her body. Just as she finished, she heard an angry female voice outside the door.

"Jiang Erya, come out quickly and wash your clothes!"

Jiang Yueshu pretended to be asleep and did not react, letting Liu Qingqing yell in frustration outside.

Then footsteps were heard again, and Liu Hongjuan's voice, which she had intentionally suppressed, suddenly rang out.

"Okay, Qingqing, I guess that damn girl is asleep. Otherwise, how could she not wake up after you've been yelling for so long? Let her wash herself tomorrow, but don't let the neighbors hear her."

"Okay, I'm so angry!" Liu Qingqing was also afraid that the villagers would hear her and spread a bad reputation, so she lowered her voice immediately. However, she was still not satisfied, so she kicked the door before leaving.

After she left, Jiang Yueshu began to rummage through the space. The original owner's clothes were basically made by patching up clothes from childhood to adulthood. When the weather was cold, she would put on all the clothes, and take them off when the weather was hot. Perhaps she picked up clothes that the Jiang family could not wear. Not only did they not fit, they were also very uncomfortable.

After finally finding two sets of soft clothes, Jiang Yueshu put them on, set the alarm clock, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yueshu put on her worn-out clothes, washed and hung up the clothes she had taken off the day before, and began to prepare breakfast.

By the time breakfast was ready, everyone in the Jiang family got up.

Because a night had passed, Grandma Jiang was not as angry anymore, so she allowed Jiang Yueshu to go to the main room to eat with the others.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Yueshu received a glare from Liu Qingqing.

Who made her wake up early in the morning and see Jiang Yueshu had already washed the clothes and were hanging them out to dry? This immediately reminded her of the fact that Jiang Erya fell into a deep sleep and didn't wash her clothes last night.

But since several elders were present in the family and everyone was in a hurry to finish their meal and go to work, she could only stare blankly.

Grandma Jiang ate a whole grain steamed bun and looked at Liu Qingqing. "Qingqing, since Lu Jianjun is married, you should find a job."

Liu Qingqing paused in her glaring motion, glanced at her mother, saw the look her mother gave her, lowered her head and said "hmm".

Liu Qingqing graduated from high school last year. Relying on her high school diploma, she didn't want to stay at home doing farm work, so she started thinking about marrying into a wealthy family.

But everyone here is in the countryside, and even those with a slightly better financial situation have to work in the fields after getting married. She was not satisfied, so she had to look for a job in the town. However, she couldn't find a job after several months of struggling. Many positions in the factories were limited to one position, and one had to have strong connections, so she naturally couldn't get a job.

Seeing that the work in the fields was not so busy, Liu Qingqing came back and set her sights on Lu Jianjun. In addition, she heard from the villagers that Lu Jianjun was going home to visit his relatives, so she naturally put the matter of finding a job behind her. She only wanted to catch Lu Jianjun's eye so that she could follow him to join the army and leave this dirt village without having to work so hard.

The result was naturally a fruitless effort. Grandma Jiang was not satisfied and urged her to find a job, otherwise she would either have to work in the fields.

After dinner, except for the two younger ones, Jiang Zhuang and Jiang Dali, who went to school, and Liu Qingqing who went to the town to find a job, the others went to the fields to earn work points.

When they arrived at the divided fields, Jiang Yueshu picked up the hoe unfamiliarly, dug out the key points of the action from the original owner's memory, bent down slightly, and dug the soil mechanically. Now was a good time for sowing in spring, and the soil in all these fields had to be loosened.

After working for a while, Jiang Yueshu slowed down. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, stretched her aching back and looked around.

Even though the original owner had been doing this kind of farm work for eight or nine years in her memory, her body was too weak and she couldn't bear it after only working for a short while.

There were several voices of men and women coming from behind, mostly chatting during a break.

"Zhao Zhiqing, you just got married yesterday, aren't you tired? Why are you still coming to work? You can just ask for leave."

"Yes, I'm exhausted from working every day. I would definitely ask for leave."

"Indeed, it's not the busy farming season yet. When it gets busy, I probably won't be able to take time off."

Several female voices chattered and persuaded Zhao Xue.

Zhao Xue's face flushed at first, and she shyly recalled the sweet wedding night of the couple last night. The next moment, she put on a proud expression and straightened her chest unconsciously after hearing these words, "Hey, please don't say such things. We educated youth came to the countryside to engage in construction. How can we delay the collective affairs because of our own affairs? Don't say such things!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the female educated youth who had spoken earlier looked a little embarrassed. Although they said that, they were really not cut out for the work and they really couldn't bear it anymore. They thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to refute.

Upon seeing this, others began to praise Zhao Xue, saying that she had a high level of ideological awareness and was worthy of being an educated young person!

Zhao Xue felt even better. She waved her hands modestly and said, "No, no, we are all good comrades!" Then they started to flatter each other again, which made people's heads buzz.

Not far away, under a big tree, sat a pretty, delicate female educated youth. She glanced at Zhao Xue's smug look with displeasure, and when she saw the extremely elegantly dressed man in the crowd also agreeing with a smile, she felt even more disgusted.

"You're such a good pretender!" Fang Ruoyao murmured through gritted teeth.

She has disliked Zhao Xue since she entered the educated youth point.

It was obvious that Brother Wenhao went to the countryside with her, and the two had a very good relationship. The parents of both sides also tacitly agreed that they would be together in the future. As a result, the woman would run into Brother Wenhao from time to time, and she would always put on an air of noble character and righteousness. She was very eloquent, and although she didn't do much work, she was able to make people happy.

In contrast, Zhao Xue became a role model of the educated youth who was praised by everyone at the educated youth site, who was gentle, beautiful, and considerate, while she became a disgusting person who was pampered, had a bad temper, and could not endure hardship.

Even brother Wenhao, who had always been caring and considerate to her, has changed. He no longer hangs around her, no longer helps her with work, and is no longer gentle to her. All this is Zhao Xue's fault!

I didn't expect that she was already married, but still wanted to mingle with their group of educated youth!

She was constantly complaining in her heart when she suddenly noticed an even louder noise erupting from the group of people who were chatting and laughing over there. Fang Ruoyao glanced over and saw Zhao Xue's newlywed husband, a soldier, coming over and digging the ground with a hoe.

In the crowd, there were female educated youth who were on good terms with Zhao Xue and teased her with a smile, while there were also male educated youth who spoke sourly and looked at Zhao Xue with dim but admiring eyes.

Wen Hao, who was closest to her, also had the same look in his eyes. The regret and sadness in his eyes could not be hidden at all, and it completely hit Fang Ruoyao, who was already holding back a lot of resentment. She strode over and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"Zhao Zhiqing knows that we are here to build the countryside, but you didn't delay the work. Aren't you pushing all the work onto others? Although I'm not good at work, I did the weeding task assigned to me bit by bit myself. Is Zhao Zhiqing's ideological awareness just to talk and not do anything?"

Zhao Xue's face turned slightly pale, and she looked over pitifully as she was about to cry.

Before she could reply, her distressed good sisters and bootlickers immediately stood up for her.

"Fang Zhiqing, how can you say that? They are husband and wife, so what if he helps with the work? It doesn't interfere with the work in the fields anyway."

"That's right, how did they bother you? Why are you talking so harshly?"

"Fang Zhiqing can't do this kind of work either, how can you have the nerve to criticize others?"

Even Wen Hao looked over with disappointment and annoyance, "Fang Zhiqing, how can you speculate about others like this! You weren't like this before! How did you become like this now!"

Fang Ruoyao didn't care how other people responded to her, and she could even pretend not to hear it as if it went in one ear and out the other.

But Wen Hao was the only one who was different. She cared about him, so she carefully examined Wen Hao's expression and listened to his harsh words as if she was doing self-torture.

The disappointment and disgust on that familiar face made her heart ache. Those harsh words seemed to have turned into the sharpest knife that cut into her heart. Fang Ruoyao felt aggrieved, tears streaming down her face, and looked at Wen Hao helplessly.

Fang Zhiqing?

He called her Fang Zhiqing?

Why is this happening!

Didn’t Brother Wenhao say that he deliberately assigned her to the same place in the countryside as her because he was worried that she couldn’t take care of herself?

He clearly said that he would always protect me, but it hasn't been long since then and he has changed his attitude. How could he say that about myself?

"You only know how to criticize me? What did I say wrong? Have you forgotten what you promised? You believe whatever Zhao Xue says, and whatever I say is wrong! She said so much, and she did so much! You are really blind!"

Fang Ruoyao became more and more collapsed under Wen Hao's cold gaze. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Tears flowed uncontrollably and words came out one by one without thinking.

After saying this, she turned to the group of female educated youth who looked at her with contempt and mockery and shouted, "You are a bunch of hypocrites who say one thing and mean another. On weekdays, I can't work, and I pay others to do the work, but it doesn't affect the work in the fields. Don't you all say that I don't work? When it comes to Zhao Xue's turn, it doesn't affect the work. They are husband and wife, so how can I bother you? You all have such a grudge!"

After venting their anger, these gossipy educated youth in front of them united unprecedentedly, all showing hostile looks and disgust in their eyes.

Fang Ruoyao could no longer bear it, and ran away in embarrassment, covering her gradually cooling heart.

Wen Hao was a little worried when he saw that she was forced to run away. When he was about to chase her, Zhao Xue's gentle voice rang out.

"Brother Wen, I'm sorry, it's all because of me—"

"It's okay, I don't blame you, she's just thinking too much. She's not a child anymore, she should grow up!"

After Wen Hao finished his reply, he forced himself to nod to Zhao Xue, then began to dig the ground without saying a word.

After listening to this free farce, Jiang Yueshu looked at Zhao Xue and Wen Hao, then looked at Fang Ruoyao who ran away sadly. She looked down on Wen Hao in her heart.

After the people ran away, several female comrades at the educated youth point began to comfort Zhao Xue one after another. They first said bad things about Fang Ruoyao secretly. They had disliked such a delicate young lady from a wealthy family for a long time.

After saying this, the topic turned to Zhao Xue’s husband Lu Jianjun.

After going to the countryside, these educated youth who had previously lived in an ivory tower realized how miserable their lives were. They faced exhausting farm work every day and were confused about what the future would hold. They had no idea when such days would end, and even getting married and visiting relatives and friends were extremely difficult.

Returning to the city became a luxury for every educated youth. In recent years, the village has had one recommended place for admission to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University every year, but there are too many people and too few places, so the chance of being selected is too low.
