Chapter 204: Knowing People by Cutting Wood

Xia Zhi finally managed to carry the things back to the dormitory after a lot of effort.

When Xia Zhi arrived, people in the dormitory had already returned from get off work and were busy washing vegetables, clothes, cooking, etc., and noisy sounds could be heard.

Xia Zhi was not here today, and Li Zhaodi had already become familiar with the people here. Moreover, Li Zhaodi was also very smart. She found a way to exchange food from the village and bought furniture.

Seeing Xia Zhi coming back, she hurriedly helped her move the things into the house.

"Xiao Xia, you bought a lot of things. You must be tired. Next time, if you need any help, just call me directly."

Li Zhaodi was eager to show her enthusiasm. In any case, it was Xia Zhi who helped her on the way.

She owed Xia Zhi a huge favor.

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely ask you for help in the future."

Xia Zhi was embarrassed to ask for help, so she directly took two eggs she bought and stuffed them into Li Zhaodi's hands. Li Zhaodi hurriedly pushed them away.

""How can you be so embarrassed? I just helped you move some things, and you gave me two eggs. How can this be okay?"

"Why not?

Take it back and feed Xiaohong. And Dabao, you look at him. He is so thin and small, so he needs to be supplemented. The child needs to start adding complementary food.

And we will go to work tomorrow. You have to hurry up and take care of the child's affairs today. If you need to send him to a nursery, you can contact the nursery."

Xia Zhi still couldn't help but be soft-hearted.

Who told her that she was not a cruel person in her previous life.

"The nursery here is too expensive, and only the children of formal employees can be sent there, but I have already contacted my sister-in-law next door.

Her husband works in a chicken farm, and she doesn't have much work.

So she can help me take care of the child when she is free at home, but I have to pay her 6 yuan a month. "

Xia Zhi was a little impressed by Li Zhaodi. It seemed that Li Zhaodi had a strong ability to survive.

She did not rest in vain.

Not only did she arrange for someone to take care of her two children before going to work, but she also brought back food and other things.

On the other hand, I spent a lot of time going to the county town.

I didn't even have firewood.

Although it was not dark yet, it was obvious that there was no time to collect firewood.

Xia Zhi was packing up his things, feeling a little depressed. He couldn't collect firewood today.

I couldn't heat the kang and cook tonight, so what should I do tomorrow?

I couldn't just keep putting it off like this.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi put his things away and turned to go out. Unexpectedly, he saw an elder sister-in-law holding an axe in her hand.

She looked like she was going out.

Xia Zhi hurriedly followed without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to chop wood? "

When Liu Cuifang heard this, she looked back at Xia Zhi and asked with a smile,

"Hey, comrade, you look unfamiliar, are you one of the two new comrades?"

"Sister-in-law, my last name is Xia, Xia Zhi.

What's your last name? I think you might be going to chop wood. I've been busy all day and haven't chopped wood yet. How about you take me with you?"

"Why are you so literary? You educated youths always talk sourly. My last name is Liu, Liu Guifang.

Let's go, we can still chop some firewood before dark."

Xia Zhi said as he was leaving, but when he saw the axe in Liu Guifang's hand, he stopped immediately. He didn't have any tools.

"Sister-in-law, I, I don't have an axe."

This is embarrassing. He only thought about buying other things and didn't really think about preparing an axe.

"What's the matter? Xiaowu, Xiaowu, lend me your axe. "

Liu Guifang was a straightforward person. She immediately shouted to the house next door and knocked on the window. Sure enough, a big boy inside hurriedly handed over an axe.

"Sister-in-law, I still have a pot on the fire."

Xia Zhi hurriedly took it.

"Comrade Xiaowu, thank you. I will send it back to you after I use it."

The young man smiled.

"Okay, you can use it. Just send it back to me after you use it."

Xia Zhi followed Liu Cuifang and walked out one after the other. After about 15 minutes, they saw a small mountain in the distance.

"Comrade Xiaoxia, you are new here. I will tell you that we usually chop firewood on this mountain.

This mountain is a treasure mountain.

Not only can we chop firewood, but there are also many reeds, as well as orange stalks left in summer. There are many here.

"These are all good things to burn as firewood."

"Our chicken farm only rests for two days a month.

Generally, we have to chop enough firewood for half a month in two days. "

"Look at your little arms and legs, can you chop it?"

Liu Cuifen teased Xia Zhi.

It's mainly because she has seen a lot of the educated youth who came here.

The name of educated youth sounds good, but it's really not good at work.

For example, the educated female youth from the city who came here to chop firewood can basically not do any heavy work.

Not only can they not chop much firewood, but they are also easy to hurt themselves.

"Sister-in-law, I have also done heavy work, don't worry, you don't have to worry about the work, maybe I am a little better than you."

People these days are modest and introverted, but they still have to show their strength in work, otherwise they will inevitably be excluded. People these days like hardworking people.

As expected, Liu Cuifang had a surprised expression on her face when she heard this.

"Oh, I didn't expect to say this. I want to see if you, little girl, are stronger than me?"

The two entered the small woods at the bottom of the mountain. Sure enough, once they entered the woods, they realized that this was indeed a good place to cut firewood. It seemed that the surrounding villagers also came here to cut firewood.

It is a tree species that grows quickly and burns most easily.

The most surprising thing is that there are many pine trees nearby. There are thick pine needles falling under the pine trees. This thing is also a good material for burning firewood when you take it back.

At this moment, Xia Zhi felt a little regretful. He didn't bring a sack when he came. If there was a sack, this thing would be a good thing to start a fire.

Sure enough, after Xia Zhi started working, Liu Cuifang immediately relaxed her brows and had to give a thumbs up.

"You're a pretty good girl. I didn't expect you to be quite capable."

Xia Zhi said while chopping firewood,

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking and hurry up. I've finished cutting. I'll help you cut here."

As soon as Liu Cuifang agreed, she started to do it. The two partners became very fast, one chopping and the other collecting the firewood.

The two men took turns carrying the firewood back.

Not to mention, the speed became faster this way, and Liu Cuifang had to admire it. It seemed that the female educated youth comrade who came this time was quite capable of working.
