Xu Nuannuan first pulled her lips towards Jiang Ye, and Jiang Ye's thin lips rarely curved into an arc, and then he continued to lower his head and do it.

Not long after the new educated youth arrived at the educated youth center, the old educated youth came back from working in the fields.

As the old educated youth walked, Feng Zhiwei complained, "The seedlings in the fields are so sparse, and this year's harvest is even worse than last year. When the grain is distributed, there won't be much to go around. It's so damn boring to work."

"We have to work even if we don't feel like it, otherwise we won't get any rations."

After Zhang Lei and Lu Xinyue came back, they gathered the six new educated youth together again.

Lu Xinyue saw the deep slap marks on Yu Qingqing's face and knew that Yu Qingqing was not an easy person to deal with. She must have provoked her again. She could only say in her heart, "Serves you right!"

Zhang Lei said, "There are some things I didn't tell you about lunch, which are about cooking, fetching water and firewood, and cleaning. The pots at the educated youth camp were bought with money from us old educated youth. If you want to join us, we won't charge you any more money. But whoever breaks it will have to pay for it.

We've always had the male educated youth responsible for fetching water and collecting firewood, while the female educated youth were responsible for cooking and cleaning the yard, including watering the vegetable patch. He looked at the three new male educated youth and said, "The water fetchers and firewood collectors will form a team of two, and each team will work for one week."

"I'm in the same group with Chen Zhiqing." Fu Yunqi looked directly at Chen Dalu, and Zhang Lei understood, "Then Wu Zhiqing will be in the same group with me."

After Zhang Lei assigned the male educated youth, Lu Xinyue was about to assign the female educated youth.

She looked at Xu Nuannuan, Miao Miao, and Yu Qingqing and said, "We female educated youth, like the male educated youth, will be divided into groups of two and will take turns being responsible for the food and sanitation of the educated youth camp. Each group will work for one day. The two can work separately or together."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Miao immediately pulled Xu Nuannuan aside and said, "I'm in the same group with Nuannuan."

So, Yu Qingqing was the only one left.

Yu Qingqing originally disliked the poor food at the educated youth camp, so she told Lu Xinyue, "I want to cook for myself."

"Okay, then you'll have to fetch water and firewood yourself. At the same time, you'll also be responsible for some of the educated youth site's sanitation and watering the vegetable patch."

"Is it up to me to fetch water and firewood?"

"Of course, if you want to start a fire on your own, you have to fetch water and firewood yourself. If you use the public fire, others will suffer."

Yu Qingqing felt a headache. She could neither fetch water nor chop firewood by herself, and she didn't want to eat with those people because the food was too bad.

She said to Lu Xinyue, "Lu Zhiqing, can I find another Zhiqing to help me fetch water and firewood?"

"Of course you can, but you need to get a separate large vat for yourself, and don't mix it with our mixed fish."

"Okay, I can. I'll eat by myself starting tonight." Anyway, the food was too bad and she couldn't eat it.

"Okay, but don't replenish the rations we had at noon today."

Yu Qingqing hadn't eaten anything at noon, but she didn't care. "Just make up for it."

Before the meal started, Miao was already starving. Xu Nuannuan ate two cooked eggs in the middle, so she was not so hungry for the time being.

Miao couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only take out the steamed bun from his bag to fill the stomach.

The educated youth’s dinner was still very simple, almost the same as their lunch.

Yu Qingqing was alone in the dormitory, eating the biscuits she brought from An City. Because the biscuits were too choking, she needed to drink water, so she took a cup and went to the kitchen to get some water.

Walking into the yard, she saw the red tomatoes by the south wall and couldn't help but feel greedy, so she ran over and picked six in one breath. Anyway, Lu Xinyue said she could eat vegetables, so why didn't she eat more.

She returned to her dormitory and finished eating all the tomatoes in a short while.

Just when she finished eating and was feeling happy, a frightened cry came from outside: "Who, who picked so many tomatoes?"

Wang Jiajia shouted from her position in the vegetable garden, and the other educated youths hurried over to look at the tomato plants.

Wang Jiajia said: "Six tomatoes were picked here, so suddenly there are six less."

"Huh? Who ate this?"

Everyone looked at each other, and most of the old educated youth looked at the new educated youth. Among the new educated youth, except Yu Qingqing, the rest had just eaten with the old educated youth, and no one was picking tomatoes.

"Then it must be Yu Qingqing."

Wang Jiajia took the lead and walked into the dormitory. Yu Qingqing had finished eating biscuits and tomatoes and was sitting on the edge of the kang to digest the food.

There were scattered tomato peels at her feet, and a little tomato red flesh remained around Yu Qingqing's mouth.

Now it became clear that those tomatoes were picked by Yu Qingqing.

"Yu Qingqing, who told you to pick so many tomatoes?"

Yu Qingqing put on an innocent face: "As an educated youth here, you said I can eat the food here."

Lu Xinyue stepped forward and said, "I told you you could eat vegetables, but you should also consider the quantity. You ate so much by yourself, what else do you want others to eat? If I don't explain it specifically, don't you have any self-awareness at all?"

Yu Qingqing didn't think she was wrong: "The tomatoes were growing on the plants, and none of you picked them, so how would I know if you would eat them? I like to eat them, so I picked some more."

Wang Jiajia curled her lips. "Yu Zhiqing, please understand that this is the Zhiqing site, not your home. The tomatoes are first planted by us old Zhiqings, and only then are they from the Zhiqing site. You haven't even watered these vegetables for a day, so what qualifications do you have to pick so many?"
