Chapter 62 She is an outsider

Although it's a pity that I can't come here every day to sell vegetable dumplings, but no matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it, and Linzhi's categories are single, so taking a break once in a while may not be useless.

She finished work early today, and Lin Zhi didn't pick up fabric anymore. She was busy going to the lumber factory in the town to collect some mop rods, so that she could make the mops before dark, and she could sell some when delivering bean sprouts tomorrow.

Xiao Liu had been waiting for her for several days. When he heard that Lin Zhi was coming, he hurried out to greet her. His attitude was much more enthusiastic than before, "I thought you weren't coming."

"I've been quite busy recently."

Showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, Lin Zhi seems to have not forgotten that he had planned something against her before, who knows what he has planned this time?

"I understand, I'm here to carry wood today, right?"

Xiao Liu took her to a corner and saw something like a hill covered with cloth. He went up and opened the cloth, and there was a pile of wood inside. "I specially left these for you, you can see enough."

not enough."

Lin Zhi's eyes widened, "Is this all for me?"

"You don't want this long piece of wood anymore?"

"But shouldn't the waste in the factory be given to the workers? Why is there so much left?" How could there be so much wood left in just a few days?

"What's so difficult about this? I can keep it for you as much as you want."

"..."

In order to earn her money, Xiao Liu really worked hard, but in this way, doesn't it mean that he deducted something from others?

If this continues, something will happen sooner or later.

"I don't need that many." Lin Zhi stepped forward and pulled out a round wooden stick, "I charge ten cents for each stick like this. From now on, I can just keep this kind for me. I don't want the others."

"Then you didn't tell me earlier." Xiao Liu thought he would be able to make a fortune from her this time.

"I didn't say I wanted so much wood."

The firewood here is estimated to weigh over a hundred kilograms. There was no donkey cart today, so Lin Zhi couldn't carry that much. She tied a small bundle first and planned to take it slowly over several days.

After finally pushing back the wood, Lin Zhi didn't dare to rest, so she found the fabric she had picked up before and started working.

Today's task is heavy, and I don't know if I can finish it before dark.

In order to improve efficiency, Linzhi can only make one mop after cutting it to the required quantity, so as to save time.

Thinking that most people who buy mops are women, she tried her best to mix brightly colored cloth strips on the outside, so that the combination would look much better.

"ah!"

She was already in a hurry, but she made a mistake while busy, and Lin Zhi accidentally hit her hand. The so-called fingers are connected to the heart, and the pain made her cry.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Nie Shujun came out of the house on crutches. Seeing Lin Zhi covering her fingers, he knew what had happened. He quickly came down the steps and said, "Let me take a look."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Zhi stretched out her finger. There was no bleeding, but it was obviously swollen.

Yingbai's fingers were covered with small scars. Nie Shujun stretched out his hand, and when he was about to touch Lin Zhi, he suddenly lowered his head and took the hammer from her hand, "I'll do it."

"Let me do it, in case you feel uncomfortable..."

Lin Zhi wanted to take the hammer back, but Nie Shujun had already found a place to sit down, "I need to exercise, and staying in the house is boring."

Exercise is different from labor.

But when she thought of the heart-wrenching pain, Lin Zhi felt a shadow now. She squatted in front of Nie Shujun, "If anything happens to you again, I will not be responsible."

Nie Shujun raised the corners of his lips, "Why, are you afraid that I will rely on you?"

This was the first time Lin Zhi saw something that could be called a smile in the true sense on his face. Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment. How could Nie Shujun's smile be so similar to Ji Wenzhou's?

It can be said that it looks more like him than himself.

Lin Zhi buried her head in panic and arranged the cloth in front of her, "It's useless to rely on me, I won't pay you any wages."

She still has to save money and can't afford workers.

Nie Shujun: "Nie Chong is about to take the final exam. Have the test papers mentioned a few days ago been released?"

...It turned out that I was helping Nie Chong.

Lin Zhi was so busy these days that she didn't even have time to read. She also forgot about this matter, "I'll go and write the test paper after these are finished."

Nie Shujun: “Where did you go to school?”

Did Nie Shujun doubt her level?

Lin Zhi replied, "Xuyang No. 1 Middle School."

Xuyang No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in the county. It can be seen that Lin Zhi's academic performance is definitely not bad. However, the hand that should be holding the pen is now doing these menial tasks all day long. Does she really not plan to go back to school?

When he watched Lin Zhi make a mop before, Nie Shujun thought it was not difficult, but actually doing it was still a bit awkward.

Seeing his clumsy look, Lin Zhi could only do it once to show him, and then let Nie Shujun drive the nails in.

Just when Lin Zhi was about to pull her hand back, she accidentally touched Nie Shujun's hand.

Her neck stiffened, and she calmly acted as if nothing had happened, but did not dare to raise her eyes to look at Nie Shujun.

It was just a touch of hands, of course it was nothing to her, but Nie Shujun felt that men and women were not close to each other even after meeting Ma Qiulian, so she would definitely mind.

The good thing is that Nie Shujun didn't say anything. I don't know whether it was because he didn't notice it or didn't care.

Then Lin Zhi remembered that she had helped Nie Shujun so many times, and he should have minded it a long time ago.

Maybe in Nie Shujun's heart, he was just a tool.

With Nie Shujun's help, Lin Zhi's speed was greatly improved, and she made ten mops before Nie Chong got out of school.

Today I bought ten wooden sticks from Xiao Liu, which cost a total of one yuan. Although it is much more expensive than what I bought before, it saves a lot of trouble.

In order to allow Lin Zhi to write the test papers with peace of mind, Nie Shujun even took the initiative to take over the cooking work.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to and expects Nie Chong.

The three of them sat together in the evening. Nie Chong heard that the dinner was cooked by Nie Shujun, and his eyes were filled with anticipation, "This is the first time I see my eldest brother cooking."

All the time, Nie's mother had been doing all the work at home, and Nie Shujun stayed in the army for a long time. When he came back occasionally, Nie's mother was reluctant to let him cook, so Nie Shujun had no room to perform at all.

Thinking of his mother, Nie Shujun's brows became more solemn, "I feel much better these days. I want to go to the fields and pay homage to my mother."

Nowadays, Nie's mother is still buried in the ground, and she is buried on a nearby hillside, together with Nie's father.

Although Nie Shujun had no problem walking, it was still difficult to climb the slope. Nie Chong was worried about letting him go there alone, "Then I'll ask for leave and go with my elder brother."

Of course Nie Shujun couldn't agree, "You have exams coming up, so you're not allowed to miss class."

Nie Chong curled his lips and looked at Lin Zhi again, "Then sister-in-law will accompany my eldest brother."

Lin Zhi:……

She is an outsider, so it’s not a good idea to go there, right?
