Chapter 7 Do novice tasks and set the house on fire
Jiang Qin once thought that if she could pass through, it meant that she was dead in another world.
Maybe it was sudden death from overwork, maybe it was other reasons.
Almost all the era articles I have read have this routine, otherwise the system would not be able to bind her.
Jiang Qin was a little worried.
If she really couldn't go back, her parents and sister would think she was dead, and they wouldn't know how to feel sad.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin felt heavy and felt uncomfortable for a long time.
Later, I didn’t know if she was too tired from traveling through time, but after a while, she fell asleep again.
He slept until daybreak.
When Jiang Qin got up, she found that her neighbors had already gone to work.
This is a farm, and its main task is to reclaim the Great Northern Wilderness. Of course, farming comes first.
Everyone carried hoes and buckets, and the lesbians wrapped headscarves on their heads and walked out in a mighty manner.
But I didn’t see the young couple riding bicycles last night.
Jiang Qin stood at the entrance of the courtyard, and soon several lesbians spotted her.
Those lesbians looked at her as if they were laughing.
"Isn't she making a fuss about divorcing Captain Fu? Why are you still here?"
"Who knows? Could it be that he regretted it again? Then Captain Fu would be in trouble."
"No, no one can stand this kind of woman. She would be a nuisance in the house. If I had made such a scene, I would have no shame in staying here any longer. I'd run away."
"Hey, if we want to be shameless, how can we compare to that shameless one!"
"She is quite thick-skinned. Apart from her pretty face, she is really not as good as Teacher Xu in other aspects."
The words of several women reached Jiang Qin's ears intermittently.
She didn't pay attention to anything else. Only the three words "Teacher Xu" were remembered by her.
To be singled out by these women to compare with myself, there must be some connection between Teacher Xu and Fu Shaoduo.
However, the information she knew was not related to Teacher Xu.
Let's find an opportunity to ask about it later.
Jiang Qin turned around and began to think about how to cook on the stove in the kitchen.
She picked up a few pieces of firewood in the yard, returned to the kitchen, stuffed the firewood into the stove pit, and went to get matches to light the fire.
The flame of the match was so weak that it took a long time to light the fire without even lighting it.
Jiang Qin thought for a while and seemed to think that he should use something as an introduction.
She searched around the stove and found a fire starter and a small piece of wood that smelled particularly strong of pine oil.
After lighting it, I lit more firewood and finally it lit up.
When the stove pit lit up, Jiang Qin was very happy. He felt that he was quite talented and it was not difficult to make a fire.
*********
In the field department, Fu Shaoduo was having a meeting with several field cadres.
There has been little rain this year and the fields have been a bit dry these days. They are discussing how to divert water for irrigation.
Just in the middle of speaking, someone suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Captain, your house is on fire!"
The man shouted anxiously.
Fu Shaoduo's expression changed and he stood up from his chair, "What's going on?"
"Black smoke is coming out of your house. Go back and take a look."
Fu Shaoduo didn't say anything more and rushed out quickly.
The remaining cadres also quickly ran out.
Fu Shaoduo rushed home as fast as he could, but he saw billowing black smoke coming from his house a long way away.
Many people had gathered in front of the house, and some rushed in to put out the fire.
When Fu Shaoduo ran to the door, he happened to see Jiang Qin being helped out from inside.
The shirt on her upper body was so black that it was no longer visible, and her face was also dark, as if she had just been fished out of the coal pile.
Seeing that she was fine, Fu Shaoduo's heart dropped.
He was about to go in and put out the fire together, when a few people came out with buckets. Seeing him, they hurriedly said: "It's okay inside. Fortunately, the fire is not big. It's the sparks from the stove that jumped out and burned the firewood on the ground."
It was set on fire, but luckily it was extinguished in time."
"The smoke coming out looks scary, but it's actually fine inside."
"When we arrived, the fire was already half out. Your wife put it out herself."
Several people talked in gibberish.
"Did she put out the fire?" Fu Shaoduo couldn't believe it.
"No, when we entered, she was holding a basin of water to put out the fire. The flames even spread to her clothes. It was dangerous."
"Captain, we're going to the fields first. We haven't finished the work yet. The house is too dirty from the smoke. I'll call my wife over soon to help clean it up."
"I also asked my wife to come over."
Fu Shaoduo waved his hand, "No, you all go and get busy, I'm here."
When everyone was gone, Fu Shaoduo turned to Jiang Qin and saw her sitting in the corner, looking miserable. Someone gave her a handkerchief, and she was wiping the dirt on her face.
"Jiang Qin."
Fu Shaoduo walked over and stood in front of her.
When Jiang Qin heard his voice, she felt so guilty that she almost cried.
She just wanted to cook a meal, but she never thought that she would set their home on fire and almost cause a disaster.
"I didn't mean it. I didn't expect it to happen. I'm sorry."
Jiang Qin waited to be scolded, but after waiting for a long time, Fu Shaoduo's voice did not come.
She looked up in surprise and saw Fu Shaoduo pursed his lips and had a dark face, looking at her like he was angry.
"If you are too angry, just scold me. I didn't pay attention and didn't see the sparks splashing out."
Fu Shaoduo said nothing, turned around and strode away.
After a while, he came back with a basin of water in his hand and placed it in front of Jiang Qin.
"Wash your face, go in and tidy up the kitchen."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Jiang Qin's reaction and went to the kitchen to clean up.
Jiang Qin hurriedly washed his face, wiped it with a handkerchief, and followed him into the kitchen.
The two of them worked from morning to noon before the kitchen was tidy up.
Fu Shaoduo lit a fire and heated a pot full of hot water in a large iron pot.
While he was lighting the fire, Jiang Qin sat beside him and watched, silently writing down the steps to light the fire.
After the water was boiled, Fu Shaoduo came back with two more buckets of water and poured them into the water tank.
"I'll go to the cafeteria to make some food later. There's hot water in the pot. You can simply take a shower."
When he said this, Jiang Qin remembered how embarrassed he was.
Although she had washed her face before, her body was dusty, sweaty, sticky and dirty.
She was busy cleaning up the kitchen just now, so she didn't pay attention to it at all.
Fu Shaoduo took the lunch box to go to the cafeteria. Before leaving, he turned around and coughed lightly: "The courtyard door is not locked. There is a stone next to the door. Let's put the door on top and wash it again."
"Oh well."
After Jiang Qin answered, he understood what he meant.
If I want to take a shower, there is no place in the house, so I can only do it in the yard.
There is no lock on the courtyard door, so it is safe to lock it up.
I didn't expect that Fu Shaoduo was so thoughtful and thought of everything for him.
After he left, Jiang Qin hurriedly covered the courtyard door with stones and took the time to take a bath.
She didn't dare to delay, who knew when Fu Shaoduo would be back soon.
