「Zhiqing Point」

Deng Xiaojie almost picked the vegetables bare. "Why can Chuyunyi get away with being lazy at the village health clinic? It’s just not fair." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Cui Aiju scooped a ladle of water into the vegetable-washing basin. "Enough. She earned her place at the clinic with her skills. There’s no unfairness in that."

She was quick-tempered and refused to be taken advantage of, but she also knew what was what. Chuyunyi understood medicine; how could they compare with her?

Deng Xiaojie had hoped Cui Aiju would share her resentment. She was taken aback when Cui Aiju suddenly switched sides. "Cui Aiju, what do you mean by that?"

Cui Aiju rolled her eyes. "If you think it’s unfair, go complain to the brigade leader. Don’t take it out on me."

Deng Xiaojie tossed the vegetables in her hand. "Cui Aiju, you wish! Expecting me to lead the charge for you? Do you take me for a fool?"

Cui Aiju gave a scornful smile. "Think whatever you want."

Having said that, she grabbed some grain and began to get busy.

Seeing that Cui Aiju ignored her, Deng Xiaojie was left fuming and took it out on the remaining vegetables.

When Cui Aiju finished kneading the dough and came in, ready to stir-fry the vegetables, she saw that most of them had ended up in the slop bucket. "Deng Xiaojie, what on earth are you doing?"

This shout jolted Deng Xiaojie back to her senses. She realized there were hardly any vegetables left in the basin. Looking down at the slop bucket at her feet, she said, "I got distracted; it wasn’t on purpose. I’ll go pick some more right now."

But when she went to the field, she saw they were all too small to be picked.

When Cui Aiju saw the basket full of vegetables, she was a bit puzzled. The vegetables in our private plot have grown surprisingly well these past few days, she thought. I didn’t expect there’d still be some ready to pick.

When Yunyi finished work and got home, she thought, It’s so hot. I’ll prepare a cold cucumber salad and steam some eggplant.
