After Transmigration: Unexpectedly Wed the Ruthless Tycoon-Chapter 158 - 143
"Ah Jiao, letโs hurry and fetch water! The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can sleep." Chen Bajin said as he pulled Gu Fuqiao along. ๐ป๐โฏโฏ๐ค๐๐๐๐ฐ๐๐๐.๐ธ๐๐ฎ
Gu Fuqiao nodded and picked up the bucket, following Chen Bajin towards the well.
After walking for a while, they reached the spot, which already had quite a few people fetching water. As soon as Gu Fuqiao arrived, she heard a womanโs loud voice.
"You two, quickly get this water back to the house for me." The voice was almost deafening; even from a distance, Gu Fuqiao could hear it. She looked up and saw a rather robust woman fetching water by the well.
In those days, there were hardly any overweight people. This woman had the potential to be plump, but she wasnโt; she was only robust, possibly because of her large frame.
After the woman spoke, two boys about ten years old carried two buckets back. Any one of those buckets was larger than the one Chen Bajin brought, and Gu Fuqiao widened her eyes in astonishment, not expecting such small children to have such strength.
Seeing Gu Fuqiaoโs shocked expression, Chen Bajin couldnโt help but ask what she was thinking.
Gu Fuqiao nodded towards the well and then shared her thoughts with Chen Bajin; she was always wondering where kids got such strength. But the scene she just witnessed completely amazed her.
Chen Bajin laughed upon hearing this, saying there were many things Gu Fuqiao hadnโt seen. After all, sheโs the daughter of a capitalist, knowing only whatโs taught in textbooks. Nowadays, even slightly older kids are required to help with farm work. In rural schools, there arenโt many classes, and labor class is the most common.
Students dig up the playground with hoes every day.
Gu Fuqiaoโs eyes practically lit up upon hearing about such labor classes. In her school days, gym class was her favorite.
Why did she love gym class? Simply because it was held outdoors, and you didnโt have to learn or think, making it such a relaxing class!
Gu Fuqiao thought, if it was mostly labor classes like before, wouldnโt she be thrilled to death?
But then again... Back then, there were too many labor classes and very few proper academic classes, so very few managed to get into university, only the exceptionally diligent ones.
While thinking to herself, that woman by the well filled two big buckets and carried them out with a yoke.
When she came in front of Chen Bajin and Gu Fuqiao, she greeted them, "Sister-in-law, are you here to fetch water too?"
"Mhm." Gu Fuqiao snapped out of her thoughts hearing this.
She nodded and said, "Yes, are you carrying two buckets?"
"Yes! Carry more at once to use for a longer time." With that, the woman walked off, carrying the two buckets.
Compared to the shock of seeing children carrying water.
Gu Fuqiao found this even more astonishing!
Though the woman looked strong, this... two buckets... isnโt this too heavy?
Mind you, sheโs using those large buckets!
"Ah Jiao, sheโs Chenโs wife," Chen Bajin whispered in Gu Fuqiaoโs ear.
"Huh?" Gu Fuqiao was taken aback and asked Chen Bajin, "Really?"
