"I also bought the hat from Third Grandma. You can buy one later. As for the gloves, I prepared them before I went to the countryside."

Ruan Mengmeng patiently explained to her because she was a nice person.

"Oh, I'll ask some other day. It's going to be scorching hot when the sun comes out today. I have to wear a hat!"

She looked up at the weather which had not yet become hot and complained.

I have to get some equipment back.

Otherwise, after a few days, not only will you get tanned, but your hands will also be injured!

Ruan Mengmeng didn't respond to her and just followed the crowd forward.

After a while, under the leadership of Wu Fanghai, everyone arrived at an open space, which the villagers called a threshing ground.

The threshing ground was full of people early in the morning, all of them were villagers.

Village chief Zhang Wende was standing on a higher mound in the middle of the threshing ground, waiting for everyone to arrive. He probably had something to say to everyone.

When the educated youths approached, the villagers gave them all kinds of strange looks, mixed with hushed discussions;

"Oh, this is the new educated youth. Why are they so skinny and have so little flesh? Can they do farm work well?"

"Hey, hey, hey, look, there's a little kid here. Can he work? I think he's here to steal our food!"

"All of a sudden, eight of them have come. No, including that child, that's nine. How much of our food will they take away?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, who says it's not?"

As they were talking, the topic changed and they started pointing fingers at Ruan Mengmeng and her brother.

Ruan Mengmeng was speechless. How much food the siblings ate was none of their business!

Didn’t the accountant say that if there is not enough food, you have to buy it yourself? It’s not like you ask them to pay for it, so why are you trying to be nice?

"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment, I'm going to tell you something!"

Zhang Wende raised his hands and pressed his palms downwards, signaling everyone to be quiet as he had something to say.

"This year, our brigade has eight new educated youth assigned to it, four men and four women."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another round of noise.

"Okay, shut up! This is an order from above. Every village must accept educated youth. Stop talking nonsense. Be careful of your words or you might cause trouble!"

Zhang Wende really couldn't understand it. He had told these villagers so many times.

I have no choice but to do so. Who would like these educated youths who are not good at their work and are full of troubles?

He accepted it with gritted teeth. What other options did he have?

"The female educated youth will be led by one of the older educated youth each. They will go weed the cornfield later."

First, we arranged a place for the four female educated youth. We will see today whether they can do the job.

The reason for this arrangement was that the villagers and the educated youth were not very harmonious before, and conflicts were easily caused.

It would be better to let the old educated youth directly lead the new educated youth!

This way, things will be more harmonious.

"As for the male educated youth, Wu Fanghai will take two, and Cheng Chao will take the remaining two. You two groups will go fetch water and water the corn!"

The corn seedlings are now in the stage of sprouting, so we need to go in and pull out weeds and water them, otherwise the yield will be affected.

"Okay, Uncle Village Chief!"

Wu Fanghai, the flatterer, replied with a smile on his face.

The other old educated youth, especially Wang Lili, looked at the new female educated youth with squinted eyes, and the jealousy and disdain in their hearts were almost overflowing.

The reason for jealousy is that all the new female educated youth are good-looking.

She just arrived and her skin hasn't even gotten tanned yet. She looks better than those old educated youth in every way.

I envy the new educated youth because they all have good clothes and food, and some of them look particularly wealthy, such as Xiaoyan and Xia Xiaojing...

After saying this, the village chief Zhang Wende arranged today's work for others, talked about some other trivial matters, and ended the conversation.

Wang Lili and Ruan Mengmeng were not on good terms, and she had also seen how powerful Xiaoyan was, so she chose to be in a group with Xia Xiaojing.

After all, Xia Xiaojing seemed to be not only rich but also had a good temper, and she loved to manipulate people like him the most.

Even if you can't control the other party, it's still good to be able to take advantage of her.

As for the rest of the people, Liu Jianing finally got rid of Xiaoyan's supervision and was assigned to a group with Qu Jingyuan.

Xiaoyan looked at the two remaining old educated youth, Sun Zhaodi and Jiang Mengjie.

She decisively chose Sun Zhaodi.

Because she found that Jiang Mengjie had the same temper as her, she spoke very little and was rather arrogant and cold.

It doesn't matter who she chooses, but she can't stand people with the same temper as her.

Only Jiang Mengjie and Ruan Mengmeng were left, so they could only be assigned to the same group.

Ruan Mengmeng also felt that there was nothing to choose from.

At the beginning, we need the guidance of the old educated youth.

Once they know the difference between grass and crops, they won't always be with you.

The work you do and the work points you earn do not belong to you.

So no matter who you choose, it doesn’t really make much difference, it’s just a matter of temperament and discord, and whether there are any conflicts.

It was easier to assign tasks to the male educated youth.

Wu Fanghai and Cheng Chao each took two people with them and ran to the agricultural tool registration office.

They need to get a shoulder pole and a bucket before they can fetch water.

The work that Ruan Mengmeng and other female educated youth had to do was to pull weeds in the cornfield. They didn't need any farm tools at all, so after they chose their teams, they went straight to the fields.

Although Ruan Zilong was able to work at this age, the team leader Zhang Wende did not assign him any tasks.

After all, when he arrived, there was no food ration or subsidy for this child.

It doesn’t matter to him whether he works or not. Ruan Mengmeng will support him herself.

Seeing his sister walking into the cornfield with an old educated youth whom he had met once, Ruan Zilong hurried to follow.

He has to help his sister with work and can't stay at home and eat and drink for free.

Ruan Mengmeng didn't care. It was a good thing that her younger brother was precocious and could understand the hardships of living as an adult.

Besides, he had already been given some powerful pills in the morning.

The more you move and exercise, the faster you absorb it and the better the effect will be.

Later on, with more training, you will definitely become very powerful.

She seemed to have seen the day when her younger brother would rise.

Today, both of them wore long sleeves and long pants in order to go out to the fields.

Ruan Mengmeng had no experience in doing farm work.

But she had read many novels in her previous life, and she still remembers the contents of those novels clearly.

You can't wear short sleeves when going out, otherwise you will get hurt.

The back of corn leaves is basically covered with barbed hairs. If you scratch them, it will feel itchy and painful, and in severe cases, it will cause allergies.

The old educated youth Jiang Mengjie who brought her was also wearing a long dress and was wrapped tightly.

It seems that these old educated youth have quite rich experience in farm work.
