MTL - Approach-Chapter 2

The sun rose high the next day, but the person in the bed still didn't wake up.

She is not a person who likes to sleep late. It's just that from one world to another, body functions need a period of time to adapt, which is why she has been in a coma before.

Ayun and his mother had finished their breakfast, and they didn't see her come out after waiting for a long time.

"Mom, you go to the field first, I'll ask my sister to get up for dinner." Ayun turned sideways and said to the woman.

The woman glanced at the door of the east room, nodded, and left with farm tools and the like.

"Sister?" Ayun glanced in through the door and window.

Ayun will go to help in the field soon, afraid that she will find no one when she wakes up, so she wants to wake her up and talk to her, but no one answers after calling for a long time.

Ayun stood by the door and window and waited, and finally decided to go to the field first, at worst, come back halfway.

Ayun was worried about Jin Zhexi, so he returned home before lunch time.

After returning home, Ayun gulped down a ladle of cold water first, wiped his mouth clean, and then went to the door and window of the east room.

"Sister?" Ah Yun shouted.

Jin Zhexi just woke up a few minutes ago. She has no other discomfort, but feels a little heavy in her head.

Hearing Ayun calling her, Jin Zhexi quickly lifted the quilt and opened the door.

"I accidentally overslept." Jin Zhexi blushed slightly. The sun outside was drying my butt, so I woke up.

"It's okay, it's okay, I left some food for you, I'll warm it up for you first, and come over to eat after you wash up." Ayun had a faint smile on his face.

The meal was hot, and Ayun was not in a hurry to go back to the field, and had another conversation with Jin Zhexi.

"My name is Jin Zhexi." As an only child, she is really not used to being called elder sister, "I will just call me Zhexi from now on."

"Is this... okay?" Visually, Jin Zhexi should be several years older than her, and it seems impolite to call her by her name like this...

"Can."

"That's good, I'll call you Zhexi from now on." Ayun's temper is relatively straightforward, but he doesn't hold back.

She asked where the woman had gone, and Ayun said it was in the field, so Jin Zhexi naturally wanted to help: "Is there any other clothes at home that suit me? I will go to the field with you later."

"There should be, I'll help you find it."

I found several suits, but only a suit of brown casual clothes barely fit, but it was still a bit short.

Ayun's father's height is only 175, while Jin Zhexi's is 180.

Jin Zhexi still wears her own shoes, and there is no other suitable size.

After dinner, Jin Zhexi went with Ayun.

Along the way, there were curious eyes looking over from time to time, but it was strange that they just took a look and didn't come to say hello. This is still different from Jin Zhexi's understanding of rural people in the Chinese civilization era.

On the way, Jin Zhexi casually asked about the situation of Ayun's father (after all, he was wearing his clothes).

Unexpectedly, Ah Yun, who always had a smile on his face, frowned, with an angry expression on his face: "He is useless, likes to gamble, owes a lot of debt, and dare not go home now."

No wonder the people in the village reacted like that, Jin Zhexi had a flash of clarity in his heart.

Ayun sighed again: "Debt collectors often come to the house. In order to pay off the debts for my father, the family is already poor." A bit of sadness appeared on his face, "I still owe a lot of money to the villagers." , coupled with her father's stubborn nature, no one in the village would lend them any more.

Jin Zhexi secretly thought about finding a job that could make money to help them, and he also needed money to buy some underwear and the like.

While speaking, he came to the field.

Although Jin Zhexi had never done these things before, he was very smart, and after a few minutes of observation, he got a general idea.

As an Alpha, he has too much strength to use up.

She did it quickly and well, and the woman's eyebrows were stained with a smile.

One piece of land, three people work, and it will be done in the afternoon.

The happiest thing is Ayun, their house has not been so lively for a long time.

During dinner, Jin Zhexi asked, "Are there any manual jobs around that can make money?"

The woman was taken aback, and understood what she meant by saying that she didn't plan to leave for the time being, and she wasn't unhappy, but even if she added a pair of chopsticks and a bowl, she wasn't too poor to eat.

"Yes, there is, but it requires high-intensity physical strength, and only able-bodied men are recruited, not women." Roads are being built at the back of the mountain, and stone-cutting roads are built around the middle of the mountain. Such high-intensity and dangerous work is difficult even for men. It is too much, so there is a lot of mobility, the personnel are not fixed, and wages are paid on a daily basis, and one day of work is paid for one day.

"Can you take me to have a look?" Jin Zhexi asked.

There was a troubled expression on the woman's face, she wasn't unwilling, it was just that they didn't want women.

Ayun put down the bowl, and said comfortingly: "Mom, Zhexi is very strong, why don't you take her to try."

"Okay," the woman said again just to be on the safe side, "After dinner, you and I will meet someone."

"Are you going to Xiaohu's house? I'm going too." Xiaohu's father works in the back mountain and is the little boss there.

"Go pick up some eggs, you can't go empty-handed." The woman said to Ah Yun. On weekdays, the eggs are sold in the market, and the family is reluctant to eat them. Now when you ask someone to do something, you need to bring a little gift to talk.

Ayun ran quickly, picked up 20 eggs and put them in a bamboo basket.

"I'm causing you trouble." Jin Zhexi said. The mother and daughter are really kind-hearted.

"It's okay." Help as much as you can, women are always like this, even though they are in a very poor situation.

After calling the door for a long time, the people inside came.

Seeing that it was their family, the little tiger mother didn't even have a smiling face, so she asked coldly, "What's the matter coming here so late?"

"It's nothing." The woman pushed the eggs in the basket forward, "I just want to ask Xiaohu's father about the work in Houshan."

Not here to borrow money, the little tiger mother was relieved, and then asked doubtfully: "Your man is back?" The work in the back mountain is done by men, and the first reaction of the little tiger mother was this, but how could her man have the courage to run away? return? Not afraid of being discounted legs.

"No, I asked for someone else." The woman's face was a little embarrassed.

"Then come in." The little tiger mother was not polite, and took the basket she handed over.

Little Tiger's dad is drinking in the back room. The physical exertion during the day is heavy, and the work is heavy. Drink some wine at night to relieve fatigue.

After the woman explained her intentions, Xiaohu's father pulled a face and remained silent for a long time.

The woman was not in a hurry, waiting for his reaction.

After some time, Xiaohu's father finally said, "Women can't do this job."

The woman looked awkward, not knowing how to respond.

"Why can't you do it?" Jin Zhexi asked.

Rural people are frugal, and the wattage of light bulbs is not high. Even if the lights are turned on at night, the indoor light is still dim.

Hearing the strange tone of voice, Xiaohu's father tilted his head and looked at Jin Zhexi in the dim light: Although she was wearing men's clothes, she could still be seen as a beautiful woman, as beautiful as a female star on TV.

Men are fond of beautiful women, and Dad Xiaohu is no exception. Pursing his lower lip twice, Xiaohu's father couldn't help but lighten his tone: "It's dangerous to dig stones and build roads around the middle of the mountain." When working, you need to tie a rope to prevent you from falling off the cliff. I'm so tired that my bones are falling apart." Let alone a woman. He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but everyone present understood the overtones. In terms of strength, it is undeniable that men have more physical advantages than women.

"I'm not an ordinary woman," Jin Zhexi explained in a gentle tone, "I have practiced martial arts before, and my body is relatively flexible, so I should be qualified for this job." Not to mention her physical advantages as an Alpha, Just take her many years of experience in the army as an example, it is many times better than any ordinary man.

Little Tiger's father moved his lips a few times, but finally didn't speak, but the expression on his face was clearly disbelief.

Ayun frowned. She believed that Zhexi wasn't lying, but the unbelief of Xiaohu's father made people angry.

"You two arm wrestling, if Zhexi wins, it means that she is stronger than you, and physical strength is not a problem." Ayun quickly rolled his eyes and suggested.

"This method is good, you can try it." The little tiger mother hurriedly said. It's not good for her to make her man unhappy, but she has to say something wrong when she accepts his eggs.

Xiaohu's father drank the rest of the wine glass in one gulp, smacked it a few times: "Then try it." He thought he was kind enough to give him a step down. Arm wrestling, how could he lose to a woman?

The little tiger's mother cleaned up a table and came out so that the two of them could wrestle their wrists. Seeing that it was about to start, Ayun said anxiously: "Put on your gloves, you will sweat easily." In fact, she didn't want Xiaohu to Dad really shook Zhexi's hand.

"That's right, that's the reason," Little Tiger Mother repeatedly echoed, "There are a lot of working gloves at home, I'll go find a couple of them."

Little Tiger's father felt a pity flashing in his heart, he thought he could directly shake hands with the beautiful woman in front of him, and it was all because of that Yun girl's talkativeness.

The little tiger mother came over excitedly holding the gloves, her eyebrows and eyes were a little more interested, maybe she regarded this as a game, and rural people love to watch the excitement.

After the posture was ready, just as Ayun yelled to start, Xiaohu's father was instantly caught...

Little Tiger's father's face turned red and then turned white, and his expression was extremely rich: "Three rounds...two wins...and...again."

In fact, Jin Zhexi only used 30% of his strength.

In the second round, Jin Zhexi put in another effort, and only used 20%. Xiaohu's father blushed and had a thick neck. He could barely resist for ten seconds before being overwhelmed again.

Little Tiger's father let out a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Strength...the strength is really great." Stronger than a man.

Ayun burst into laughter. The woman's tense expression showed a bit of relaxation. The little tiger mother was still holding the mentality of watching the fun, but her man lost... her smile froze instantly, her face was so blue...

The loss was a bit ugly, and Xiaohu's father couldn't help but sullen his face, pretending to be embarrassed: "This job doesn't just require strength...it also needs to be flexible..."

"Zhexi, can you show us some tricks?" Just now, when Zhexi said that he had practiced martial arts before, Ayun's eyes were so bright that now not only to support the table, but Ayun himself was also very curious.

"Yes." In order not to be eye-catching, Zhexi simply flipped a few times in the air, basically showing no skill.

But even so... everyone is dumbfounded... It seems that next time they will be more low-key.

"Zhexi, Zhexi, you are too good!" Ayun said excitedly, smiling so hard that he couldn't help but smile.

Xiaohu's father silently put away his surprised chin, and said after a few seconds: "Follow me to the back mountain tomorrow."

This is agreed.

Ayun was even happier than Zhexi, and sang an unknown song on the way back.

Hearing her singing, Zhexi also pursed her lips and smiled.

Looking up at the clear moon, Zhexi sighed in her heart: Such a simple life is quite good.
