The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: Chapter 740: The Norm of Life

Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang had been through hard times, so they understood how precious food was. But what was even more admirable was that even though their lives had improved, the two children never wasted a single bite.

On the contrary, they cherished their current lives where they had enough to eat. Even though Gu Jiaojiao also thought the griddle cakes and winter melon stew didn’t taste great, she still ate every last bite.

That afternoon, not only was the corn planter finished, but also the waterwheel, water pump, and threshing machine.

By the time they were done, it was already evening.

「The next day, it was time for work.」

The brigade leader had made an announcement over the loudspeaker beforehand. He had something to tell everyone, so he asked them not to start working just yet, but to gather at the edge of the fields first.

Everyone gathered at the edge of the fields at the usual time. Aunt Leng and Li Hongmei exchanged a look. Each of them had rallied a number of people to their side. Today, they were determined to make the brigade leader give them an explanation as to why Gu Jiaojiao didn’t have to work.

Sun Yeshu claimed she was having complications with her pregnancy, so she stayed home. But other pregnant women, even five or six months along, were still out working in the fields.

Only Gu Jiaojiao, with nothing wrong with her at all, was shirking her work.

Everyone waited and waited, until the brigade leader finally sauntered over.

Not only had the brigade leader arrived, but so had the few strong laborers who were missing yesterday. They were pushing a few small contraptions, leaving the crowd completely baffled.

The brigade leader walked forward, beaming, with a spring in his step. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought he’d found money on the road.

But right now, the brigade leader felt even happier than if he had.

Earlier that morning, when he’d arranged for everyone to gather, he had already taken the little corn-planting machine out for a test run.

’This thing is incredible.’

The most tiring parts of planting corn were digging the holes and dropping in the seeds. The first required a lot of strength; digging holes all day was back-breaking work. The second involved bending over to place the seeds, which made your neck ache after a while.
