Chapter 96: Sincere Inquiry Leads to Greater Impact (Revised)

Bai Nuo returned home around 3 or 4 a.m. last night. She quickly washed up and went to sleep, but was woken up by the system's relentless calls at 5:30 a.m.

When I got up, I was still half-asleep and seemed to be "floating" like a ghost as I went to wash up.

When she changed into her work clothes and came downstairs, 925 had already prepared breakfast.

I have to say, spending those 925 points was definitely worth it.

Bai Nuo ate a large meat bun in one hand and millet porridge in the other, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

"I've never seen this bowl before!" Bai Nuo said while eating a steamed bun, looking at the small bowl of millet porridge. It was made of blue and white porcelain and looked quite nice.

"This was found in the big wooden box that I won by checking in at the county council meeting. The box was full of ceramic antiques and a few pretty vases and ornaments. I've already put them in the display cabinet in my study. The only thing left is this set of tableware and tea set. I thought they were quite nice, and I figured you would like them, so I disinfected them twice and took them out to use."

“It really is quite beautiful. There aren’t many tableware and tea sets in the pavilion, so let’s keep them!” Bai Nuo didn’t mind the little system doing this little thing. She hadn’t really prepared these things to put in the pavilion before, and since she wasn’t going to use them outside, it was perfect to leave them here.

"This is more than just pretty; it's a small bowl from the Qing Dynasty. Just this one bowl could fetch a lot of points at auction in the Time-Space Mall." If it weren't such a good item, it wouldn't have bothered to repeatedly sterilize it before giving it to its host.

"Well done!" Bai Nuo smiled and patted A Tong's head, then finished the millet porridge in the bowl, grabbed his small bag and water bottle, and turned to leave the space.

The work in the fields isn't too strenuous right now; it's just sowing. At the beginning of the month, the brigade headquarters had already assigned tasks to each production team.

The other newly arrived educated youth had already been assigned to production teams, leaving only Bai Nuo, Sun Yuxi, and Chao Xianhua.

Yesterday at the brigade headquarters, the brigade leader had already told the three of them about today's assignments.

Bai Nuo was assigned to Team Seven, where he was responsible for planting corn.

Sun Yuxi was in the fifth team, responsible for rice transplanting.

Chao Xianhua is in the third team, responsible for planting soybeans.

The Qishui Brigade has a wide variety of crops, mainly because it has a large population and vast land area, and has been repeatedly recognized as an advanced brigade. The brigade has applied for and obtained the most crops among the various production teams in the commune.

There are corn, rice, soybeans, peanuts, sorghum, millet, sweet potatoes, and wheat, and even a large cotton field.

Therefore, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no one in Qishui Brigade who goes hungry.

Although Bai Nuo and the other two were assigned to different teams, the planting areas of these three teams were not far apart. Bai Nuo did not ride his bicycle to work on the first day. He folded the quilts on the kang and put them on the kang cabinet. Then he opened the two curtains and the front and back curtains in the house before taking a straw hat and going out.

"I was just about to call you. Let's hurry, we need to go to the threshing ground to get the seeds before we can go to the fields."

Bai Nuo had just stepped out when she ran into Sun Yuxi, who was about to knock on the door. She smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's hurry up!"

As they were leaving, they ran into a few educated youths from the side courtyard. They nodded to each other and greeted each other before hurrying towards the threshing ground.

Guo Hui glanced at the others, then at Bai Nuo walking not far away, and smiled as he approached.

"Bai, I heard you were assigned to Team Seven. It just so happens that I was also assigned to Team Seven. Today is your first day of work, so don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't take it anymore, just call me. I often help my dad slaughter pigs at home, so I'm quite strong."

Bai Nuo glanced at the bewildered Guo Hui and blinked in confusion.

Guo Hui smiled and straightened his chest, secretly pleased with himself, feeling that his method had worked. Just as he was about to press on to get closer to Bai Nuo, he heard Bai Nuo speak with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you say your dad works at the meat processing plant in your county? Does the meat processing plant there allow the employees' family members to come in and help with the work? Are they paid? Are they considered shift supervisors? How is the shift supervisor pay calculated for this kind of one-off job? If you're the one supervising, then what's your dad doing? Is he just working for free? This doesn't seem to comply with current labor regulations."

"puff!"

Sun Yuxi couldn't help but laugh, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Sun Yuxi blushed: "Sorry, I just suddenly thought of something really interesting. You guys keep talking, don't mind me."

Guo Hui was stunned by the series of questions, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He doesn't understand!

It was just an excuse to get closer, so how could this girl ask so many questions all at once?

And these problems...

Each one is more cunning than the last. If things go wrong, their county's meat processing plant could be exploiting the employees' families for free labor, which would be no different from the capitalists of the past.

However, the girl's expression was very serious and curious, and there was no sign of her deliberately trying to embarrass him. Guo Hui was a little confused as to whether Bai Nuo was doing it on purpose or was just so naive that she couldn't speak properly.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I asked?" Bai Nuo looked at Guo Hui with a serious expression, not thinking that she had done anything wrong. In her opinion, the problem must be with someone else, not her.

"No, no, you misunderstood. Our county meat processing plant has strict rules and regulations and would never do anything to exploit the families of its employees."

"Oh, so your family raises a lot of pigs? Does your county allow individuals to raise so many pigs? Otherwise, why do you often help your father slaughter them? But since your father is a pig slaughterer at the meat processing plant, is it considered taking on private work to slaughter your own pigs? Does your plant allow this?"
