Bai Nuo found a reasonably intact saddle in the brigade's warehouse, returned the key, and without even glancing at the hesitant scorekeeper, politely greeted him before turning back to the feeding team.

"Oh, Little Bai, the educated youth, is back?" The aunt in charge of feeding the chickens greeted Bai Nuo.

Now, no one in the pig farm knows that this new educated youth is their team leader's darling. Besides, considering that she saved two of their sows, they won't make things difficult for her.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm going to fetch a basin of water to clean the saddle, check what needs to be repaired, and then I'll go for a walk with the horse."

"Okay, there's a small room over there that's used to store our animal husbandry team's tools. There are wooden tubs inside, and there's a well in the backyard. We can just go there to fetch water."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Bai Nuo nodded with a smile, then happily dragged the saddle away to find the basin.

The old woman smiled as she watched the cheerful young figure walk away, saying, "These young people are so energetic."

Bai Nuo carried a wooden basin in one hand and dragged the saddle with the other as he went to the backyard. As soon as he got there, he saw two women in their thirties squatting by the well in the backyard. Each of them had two large wooden basins in front of them and were washing the contents.

"Hello, ladies. I'm a new educated youth named Bai Nuo. I'm in charge of walking the horses at the horse stable." Bai Nuo walked over and greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, Bai Nuo, I heard about it this morning. Thank you so much, it's all thanks to you for bringing those two pigs back." One of the women, a kind-faced, thin but energetic woman, smiled at Bai Nuo.

The other woman, who appeared somewhat delicate and refined, and had a pretty face, was also smiling kindly at Bai Nuo.

"Hello, Bai Zhiqing. My name is Mu Rujun. I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family. I am in charge of herding geese, chickens and ducks in our breeding team. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Rujun."

"Yes, yes, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Fan Lianhua. You can call me Sister Hua or Sister Lianhua, either is fine. I'm in the same group as Sister Rujun." The kind-faced woman who spoke first introduced herself with a smile.

Bai Nuo felt that the people in the animal husbandry team were easy to get along with, and that her future work would be much easier. She quickly went over, fetched a basin of water, and then squatted down next to the two people.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" Mu Rujun noticed that the young educated youth's hands were still wrapped in gauze, which would definitely make it difficult for him to wash the saddle.

"I can do it with one hand, it's fine." Bai Nuo nimbly shook her good hand, not feeling that there was any problem at all.

"You silly girl, this is the first time I've seen a female educated youth from the city as strong and cheerful as you. If it were the other ones, they would have been injured because of the brigade, let alone working, they would probably have been lying in the educated youth compound for days, they were so pretentious." Fan Lianhua said with her brows furrowed, her expression full of disdain.

Although the people in the Qishui Brigade were not as hostile to the educated youth from the city as they were in other brigades, they were relatively fairer to them. Those who got along well would occasionally get together to chat.

But there were a few educated youths whose personalities were really annoying, especially the two who lost the pig yesterday. Fan Lianhua wanted to slap those two a few times.

Mu Rujun smiled but did not refute Fan Lianhua's words. She put down what she was holding, got up and walked to Bai Nuo's side, pulling the basin in her hand in front of her.

"Anyway, I've washed most of my things. They're mostly brood mats for chickens, ducks, and geese. The brigade leader was worried that they'd be too dirty, so he takes them out to wash and dry from time to time. They don't need to be washed too clean. I'll wipe your saddle, but you can't touch it, or you'll get an infection." Mu Rujun said gently as she softly pushed Bai Nuo aside.

“Yes, yes, we’ve almost finished washing. I’ll hang them up to dry. Let your sister Rujun help you wipe them. You can’t get them wet, okay?” Fan Lianhua nodded in support. After saying that, she stood up and picked up the cloth pads from the two basins and walked to the drying rack next to her.

Bai Nuo looked at her two older sisters with a sweet and bright smile: "Thank you, sisters. Please have some candy."

Bai Nuo would never refuse someone to help her with her work; she loves things falling from the sky. However, for the sake of long-term development, she had already learned the lesson of interpersonal relationships.

She grabbed a handful of milk candies from her small handbag. Her hands were small, and she wasn't really opening her arms wide to grab them, so it looked like she was using a lot of force, but in reality, she only had four or five milk candies in her hand.

"No need, it's nothing..." Mu Rujun had just begun to politely decline when the little girl stuffed a large White Rabbit candy with a rich milky aroma into her mouth.

Bai Nuo squatted down beside her, tilting her head with a smile: "Sis, is it sweet?"

That little face was as sweet as candy, enough to melt anyone's heart. Mu Rujun thought that if this were her own sister, she would absolutely spoil her without a second thought.

"It's sweet, the sweetest candy I've ever tasted."

Lu Wenhua: Honey, that's what you said to me when I first bought you candy!

"Hehe!" Upon hearing this, Bai Nuo's smile widened even more. She got up and walked towards Fan Lianhua, peeled off the candy wrapper, and fed her a candy.

"Oh my, this milk candy smells so good! The kind sold in our county isn't as fragrant as this." Fan Lianhua could tell the difference with just one bite.

"It must be the White Rabbit candy from Shanghai. I heard that those milk candies have a high milk content. The milk candies in our county are all made by the county's sugar factory. How can they compare to those big factories?"

Mu Junru nodded. She was from the county, a high school graduate, and came from a well-off family, so she had a wide range of experience.

"No wonder! Oh dear, such precious things must be stored away carefully. Listen to your sister, you can't be so careless in our countryside, you know!" Fan Lianhua looked at the exceptionally beautiful face of the young educated youth in front of her, and even the candy she was wearing looked like it came from the big city. Wasn't she just a little golden child? And with such a good temperament, if those shameless old women took advantage of her, she would be bullied to death.

Bai Nuo nodded with a smile: "I know, my sister told me before I came. Don't worry, Sister Lianhua, I won't give this good stuff to anyone but our own people."

Bai Nuo simply said that those few people were sincere and earnest, which once again brought him closer to these two older sisters.

Therefore, in her previous life, she graduated with a perfect score in the lesson of interpersonal relationships.
