The next day, Qingdai truly experienced what modern people consider to be "facing the earth and back to the sky".

She looked at the golden cornfields on the endless land and fell into deep thought.

The team leader assigned them the task of pulling out weeds in the cornfield.

When it came to assigning tasks to this group of pampered female educated youth, the team leader was also in a dilemma.

We didn't dare assign them any heavy or tiring work, but we couldn't find any absolutely easy or light work. We finally arranged a weeding job for them, but when we asked, we found out they had never been in the fields before.

In the end, the team leader didn't know whether the team had recruited four female educated youth, and whether they were a group of educated youth who came to help or ancestors who should be supported.

But at least the team leader assigned the task clearly and they accepted it clearly.

After going to the fields to work, the two older female educated youth who had worked at home were able to get the hang of it, except that they took one step deep and one step shallow.

Everyone is capable, and Qingdai is naturally no exception.

The small system in her mind kept telling her where to pinch the weeds best and with the least effort.

So Qingdai climbed faster and faster. The two female educated youth looked at the youngest girl, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Because Qingdai looks the youngest and most tender among them, with her glowing white skin and delicate complexion. They can't imagine that such a person would work in the fields. She must have been raised that way by her parents.

These female educated youth were obviously wrong. Qingdai's current skin was completely maintained by the small system and had nothing to do with the original owner's family. On the contrary, the original owner had been ill before and her skin condition was not good. She looked thin, small and dry, and did not have the healthy complexion she has now.

Qingdai didn't feel that pulling weeds was tiring, but after using the system's energy-restoring spray, her skin looked more delicate. However, after pulling weeds for a while, her hands were covered with marks, all red and with broken skin, looking particularly miserable and pitiful.

System (pitifully): Master Host, let Tongzi help you recover...

However, his proposal was rejected by Qingdai.

It’s not that Qingdai didn’t want the system to help her recover, but with four female educated youth working together, it was obvious to everyone that it was impossible for her to pull out all the grass without even having a mark on her hand.

At noon, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and they were feeling more and more thirsty, so they sat down on the edge of the field, took out the packages they had brought with them, and solved the problem of eating on the spot.

"This is my first time working in the countryside. I even have marks on my hands."

One of the female educated youth stretched out her hands, her palms burning with pain, and she couldn't help but complain.

Her hands were covered with red marks, which looked extremely scary at first glance.

"It's all the same. I used to do basic chores like washing dishes and cleaning at home. This was my first time weeding in the fields. Not only did my shoes get covered in mud, but my palms were burning with pain."

As soon as one starts complaining, there will be a second one. Looking at their own hands and then glancing at the endless cornfield, it is difficult for them not to complain.

"The team leader has taken care of us. This is the easiest thing to do in the team. Going to the countryside means hardship. You have to do it even if you don't want to."

The educated youth who was speaking was the oldest among the four of them, and her family conditions were also the worst among them.

This wasn't her first time in the countryside. She had a grandfather, and her family had been asking her to help with farm work since she was little. Once she'd saved enough money, she considered renting a place in the city. But then she thought, even if she did, how many years would she be able to stay? So, she shelved the idea. Later, her family got some opportunities and made some money, allowing her to settle down in the city. She gradually became more pampered, but she never forgot the skills she'd learned from farming.

Qingdai followed the local customs and sat on the edge of the field. This was definitely a new experience for her.

Where she lives, there are no mountains or waters, not even a single decent terraced field.

Taking advantage of this novelty, she did not join in the complaints, but silently looked at the cornfield and calculated how long it would take to finish the work in the afternoon.

She silently retracted her fingers. This feeling was definitely not pleasant. She should finish it quickly and go back to lie on the bed and let the system help her.

The older female educated youth was more observant and she could see at a glance that Qingdai's hands were a lot swollen.

"Let's eat quickly. I see that most of us have some injuries on our hands. Let's finish eating early and get back to work early."

Having said that, the work speed in the afternoon was obviously not as fast as in the morning. One female educated youth even didn't want to work anymore and stared at her scratched hands.

Even so, there were only four of them in the place, and no one noticed that one of them was taking a break. Everyone was busy working forward.

But by then it was already dark and they still hadn't completed the task.

Qingdai looked at the day, then at the little workload left, frowned slightly, and finally encouraged herself in her heart.

System: The host has been busy all day and has worked so hard. There are mulberries under the corn pile two steps ahead~

Qingdai's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt the strength to push herself forward.

Lu Zhan went to the educated youth site to deliver things just like he did in the previous few days. He was also assigned a task today, so he came back a little late.

I was actually a little embarrassed when I saw Li Jun. I had that kind of dream for no apparent reason a few days ago, and the next morning I woke up with a dark face while washing my pants.

When Li Jun asked him casually, he paused in washing clothes. Fortunately, the other party just mentioned it casually and did not want to get his answer.

However, this does not mean that the impact of this incident has disappeared. Lu Zhan was still a little distracted while working today.

It has never happened in all these years, why is it only this time...

He had no idea what he was thinking about the whole day, and his efficiency had obviously dropped. After realizing that he was wasting time, he forced himself to concentrate on his work, but in the end he was still delayed and only came back now.

Without having time to think too much, he hurriedly picked up the cooked food that someone else had prepared, put it in an enamel pot, wrapped it up, and then went to the educated youth site.

But when I got there, I found that there was no one in the house, even the room next door was empty. Under the setting sun, the silence was a little scary.

After asking a few other people, I found out that several female educated youth, including Qingdai, had not returned yet.

Lu Zhan looked back at the quiet and deserted house and headed towards the team leader's house. He wanted to ask the female educated youth where they were living today.
