The life of a female cannon fodder

29

Soon the mushroom factory in the team started to harvest the second batch of mushrooms. Some of the mushrooms in this batch were fully opened, while others were still slightly curled. Each mushroom was as big as a palm and looked very good.

The first time Li Qiu delivered goods to the commune and the county department store, he had to go with the team. The team leader also approved the team's ox cart to help transport the mushrooms, and Li Qiu was lucky enough to ride on the ox cart.

This was the team's gold nugget.

Because the ox cart was fast, Li Qiu, Mushroom, and Shi Nier squeezed together. The one who drove the cart was Shi Nier's elder brother Shi Hongjun. This time, the three of them went to sell mushrooms together. Shi Nier was not originally chosen, but the accountant of the mushroom factory, Uncle Wu, said that he was too old to move, so he asked Shi Nier to take his place, and Shi Nier followed.

Li Qiu thought that Uncle Wu probably wanted to train Shi Nier, otherwise there were men in the team who were more educated than Shi Nier, and they were also strong men, so why would he choose Shi Nier.

Shi Hongjun drove the cart in front, and the two girls sat side by side in the ox cart wearing straw hats and looked at the mushrooms. The mushrooms that had just been cut early in the morning were put into a basket lined with straw, stacked, and covered with straw mats, which not only prevented others from peeping but also blocked the sun for the mushrooms in the basket, otherwise the mushrooms would wilt in such a strong sun all the way to the commune.

"Qiuqiu, when do you think we can sell all the mushrooms?"

"It won't take long to get there, but we'll be wasting so much time on the road." Li Qiu adjusted the brim of her hat: "It would be much faster if we had our own car."

Speaking of this, she remembered the car that Lu Zhan promised to give her. When she met Lu Zhan last month, he said that he had gotten most of the parts. Maybe, I should be able to drive my own car soon.

But Lu Zhan said it was a two-seater before, so even if she could drive the car, she wouldn't be able to carry too many things.

"The car is too expensive, we can't afford it at all." Shi Nier frowned and looked melancholy: "And even if we can afford it, we have to wait in line. If you don't have connections, even if you apply to the commune to buy a tractor, you have to wait a long time. The last time the commune bought a tractor, it took more than a year to wait."

Li Qiu: "......"

Okay.

She looked at the ox cart under her and then looked at her slender white hands.

Or write a letter to Marshal Li to let them teach her the technology and then ask Lu Zhan for advice, buy second-hand materials and repair it and assemble it herself?

Then she gave up the idea. Not to mention that she was not cut out for it, even if she was, she couldn't explain how she could drive a car by herself after being taught remotely by Marshal Li a few times and then taught by Lu Zhan a few times. She didn't have such good intentions. So far, she had only done it to make her life better. It was basically a dream to want her to devote herself to others and trust a person or a group of people without reservation.

She only believed in Lu Zhan. Marshal Li and Madam Jiang were responsibilities that she had to take on. As for the No. 1 leader, they were her big brothers!

"The team has already built a mushroom factory. Soon we will have money. When the time comes, let the team leader apply to buy a tractor." Li Qiu comforted Shi Nier. She was not talking nonsense. She overheard the team secretary and the team leader talking that day. They said that they would buy a tractor when the team had money.
