Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 250 The Weak Girl of the Age 57

Two days later, some of the educated youth found that all the people who used to help them with their work were gone.

Jiang Yiling stood at the edge of the field, constantly looking around: "Hey, where is this person?"

Su Lian kindly reminded: "Jiang Zhiqing, if you don't work now, you won't be able to finish it today."

Jiang Yiling pouted and stomped her feet: "Why doesn't Pan Tao come to help me?"

The Pan Tao mentioned by Jiang Yiling was being taught a lesson by his mother, twisting his ears: "Are you going to work for that educated youth Jiang again? You don't help with your own work, but go to help that educated youth. You have been helping for so long, but what have you received except two words of thanks from him? Do you really think that if you do some work for him and give him two eggs, he will marry you?"

Pan Tao was grabbed by his mother's ears and did not dare to resist, but his eyes kept looking at Jiang Yiling with concern: "Mom, it's so sunny, Yiling will get sunburned working in the fields..."

"Oh, then why don't you worry about whether I, your mother, will get sunburned while working in such a hot sun?"

"Mom, you won't get any whiter even if you don't bask in the sun..."

Listening to Pan Tao's straightforward words, Pan Tao's mother felt her heart aching.

Pan Tao seemed to realize that what he said was wrong, and quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "Mom, we are still in the field, please let go of my ears! Don't make fun of me..."

"Oh, are you afraid of being laughed at by others? You run to work for that educated youth Jiang every day, and you have lost face in the brigade a long time ago. Now you want to save face."

"Mom, please let me help Yiling. She can't do without me."

"Can't do without you? I see she can eat and go to the toilet just fine, why can't she work? Then she can just be a spoiled girl in the city, why go to the countryside!" Then Pan Tao's mother said firmly: "You are not allowed to help, you are not allowed to help, unless she becomes the daughter-in-law of my Pan family"

This kind of conversation can be heard almost every two steps.

Jiang Yiling worked for a while and then stood up and looked around for a while.

The scorekeeper came over with a gloomy face and said, "Jiang Zhiqing, please don't be lazy. You have already taken three breaks in these two minutes. If you continue to be lazy like this, I will deduct your work points."

Jiang Yiling pounded his waist and muttered softly: "I'm so tired, why don't you let me rest for a while..."

"You can take a break if you're tired, but look here, is there anyone like you who gets up to take a break three times in two minutes? It's been two hours since we started working, and you're still hanging around. If you don't want to do it, go back!"

Jiang Yiling stamped her feet. Of course she wanted to go back. When she first went to the countryside, she would write home and they would reply and send her money every month.

But this year, the number of replies has become less and less, and the money bills are only sent once every two or three months, and the amount of money each time is much less...

There has been no news since my parents promised to bring me back to the city...

Jiang Yiling lowered her head and shed tears silently

The scorer was speechless. Did he say something harsh?

"You...you can do it or not. Anyway, if you don't complete the tasks assigned to you, you will not get any work points." After saying that, the scorekeeper closed the book and walked away angrily.

Pan Tao, who was far away, saw Jiang Yiling wiping her tears, and he felt so distressed.

While his mother wasn't paying attention, Pan Tao quietly approached Jiang Yiling.

When Jiang Yiling saw Pan Tao coming towards her, she quickly put down the hoe in her hand, wiped her tears and looked at Pan Tao with a haughty face: "Why did you come just now? I'm almost exhausted. You do the rest."

Pan Tao touched his ears which were still a little hot after hearing this: "My mother doesn't let me help you, but she said that if you marry me, I can help you with the work. Yiling, didn't you say that if I help you with the work, you will be willing to be my partner? Look, I have been helping you for so long, when will you marry me..."

Jiang Yiling's face froze. Even if she couldn't go back to the city for the time being, she didn't want to marry a peasant! !

She just wanted Pan Tao to help her with the work!!!

"This... that..." Jiang Yiling hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell the time.

Pan Tao lowered his eyes in disappointment, and then asked as if he wanted to get an answer: "Are you deliberately keeping me hanging to help you work..."

Jiang Yiling still didn't dare to respond to this, and quickly changed the subject, stretched out her hand and acted coquettishly towards Pan Tao: "Brother Tao, look at my hands, they are all red~~~"

Pan Tao looked at the red on Jiang Yiling's palm and subconsciously picked up the hoe to help Jiang Yiling work.

Pan Tao's mother turned around and saw that her son was gone, so she knew that he had gone to look for Jiang Yiling again.

As soon as I came here, I saw my useless son helping Jiang Yiling with work.

Pan Tao's mother reached out and grabbed Pan Tao's ears

"Ouch! Mommy!" The pain in his ear woke Pan Tao up all of a sudden, and he immediately began to beg for mercy: "Mommy, mommy, Yiling is still beside me, please let me go!!"

When Pan Tao's mother heard this, she not only did not let go, but she grabbed Pan Tao's ears even harder.

Pan Tao was in so much pain that he had to let his mother push him away.

Before leaving, he still shouted to Jiang Yiling: "Yiling, I'm waiting for your news!!!"

Jiang Yiling stretched out his hand and shouted, "Hey! Who will help me with the work if you leave!!!"

Pan Tao's mother turned around and glared at Jiang Yiling and said, "It's not easy for Jiang Zhiqing to find someone to work for you. There are plenty of people who are willing to pay to help you. Jiang Zhiqing, we country people are not as smart as you city people, but we country people also know how to save face. We can't do things like hooking up with men everywhere."

Jiang Yiling's eyes were red from being squeezed, and tears were falling. She sobbed and said, "We are all from the same team. We are just helping each other. Is there any need to care so much?"

"Who told you that you are from a brigade? You are educated youth sent to the countryside. You don't know when you will return to the city. Can you guarantee that you will bring my son with you when you return?"

Jiang Yiling choked and even forgot to cry.

Pan Tao's mother showed an expression of 'I knew it': "You city people are really cunning! Since Jiang Zhiqing has no intention of dating my son, please stay away from my son, and don't ask my son to help you with work, so as not to cause misunderstandings from others."

Jiang Yiling's face changed like that, sometimes red, sometimes black, sometimes white...

The aunt who was watching the fun said jokingly: "Look, that educated young woman Jiang can change her expression. When the team organizes activities, we can ask her to perform a show."

When Jiang Yiling heard this, she ran back to the Youth House angrily.

When the work was over, Jiang Yiling did not return to work in the fields.

Pan Tao stopped helping, so the assigned tasks were naturally not completed.

The scorekeeper directly wrote a -5 on the notebook. He was absent from work after not completing the task. This would naturally result in a deduction of work points.

The next day, Jiang Yiling felt terrible after hearing that 5 work points were deducted from her.
