Jiang Mengjie is not a talkative person.

When they arrived at the field, he briefly explained to Ruan Mengmeng the tips for pulling out weeds and how to distinguish between grass and corn, then he started working hard.

Seeing that she didn't say much, Ruan Mengmeng asked some important questions.

"How many work points do we get for pulling up this row of corn?"

Jiang Mengjie bent over and kept pulling out weeds without raising her head, but her hands moved very quickly.

"After weeding out a row of land and passing inspection, you'll be awarded one work point!"

After thinking about it, she added another sentence.

"The full work points for us female educated youth are eight!"

However, few people completed the job, so she didn't say anything for fear of discouraging the little girl who was not too old.

She once went to the countryside to support the cause with great enthusiasm, but after a few years, all her edges were worn away by reality...

Ruan Mengmeng looked around and saw the endless cornfield. She was confused. She only got one work point for working such a long distance?

You have to pull out eight ridges to get full work points, but won’t it be exhausting to work for eight work points?

"Male educated youth are awarded ten work points. They earn as much as they work, and their payouts are settled at the end of the year!"

Jiang Mengjie explained everything clearly to Ruan Mengmeng at once to save her from asking questions all the time and affecting her work.

The reality is, she still needs food to eat and drink. If she doesn't work hard, where can she get food?

When she first went to the countryside, her parents were nice to her. They would write to her to ask how she was doing and whether she wanted them to send her money or gifts.

As time went by, she couldn't go back, and her family gradually became disappointed and no longer had any hope for her.

After all, she is not the only girl in the family. She also has a younger sister who is a few years younger than her.

It was because her brother had a girlfriend and couldn't go to the countryside that her parents begged her to go to the countryside in his place.

I originally thought that I could stay here for a few years, go through the motions, make some connections, and then go back to the city.

Who would have thought that it would be an endless journey with no hope of returning.

Perhaps they have long forgotten that they have a daughter suffering in the countryside!

Later, even her family members began to persuade her that she was old and should just marry someone casually...

She is already 22 years old this year, and will be 23 after the Chinese New Year. She is indeed not young anymore.

However, she didn't want to stay in the countryside all her life, and she didn't want to spend her life facing the earth and working hard.

She was unwilling to accept it, really unwilling to accept it.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find a way to escape from here.

Now, without a letter of introduction, it’s useless no matter where you go.

If they were discovered, they would be sneaked back in, and some educated youth who escaped would even be punished and sent to even poorer farms to receive education.

This was not the result she wanted, so she didn't dare to try it easily.

And she didn't even dare to think about the last path, getting married.

In the past few years, many female educated youth were tricked or framed into marrying in the countryside.

Either she couldn't give birth to a son and was often beaten, or her mother-in-law made things difficult for her and she was displeased with her, making her life miserable.

That was not the life she wanted. Even if she was a little poorer, she didn't want to jump into the fire pit.

Ruan Mengmeng learns very quickly. With her strong mental strength, she has an excellent memory and can basically remember everything she sees.

Once Jiang Mengjie said something, she would remember it firmly in her mind and apply it immediately.

Jiang Mengjie didn't make a fuss, after all, she was a quiet person.

Ruan Zilong also wanted to help, so Ruan Mengmeng patiently taught him.

I told him the tips on weeding, helped him put on gloves and a hat, and then started to work.

Try to hold on for a few days. If that doesn't work, do as the heroine in the novel does and go ask the village chief if you can go and pick grass for the pigs.

Thinking of this, she looked up and glanced at the mountains not far away.

It is lush and green there, mysterious and dangerous.

Ruan Mengmeng didn’t know what was in there, but it definitely couldn’t stop her from going out and having some fun.

I absolutely cannot keep working so hard here. I have to find a way to escape from this misery.

She came to the countryside to retire. Yes, that's right, she came to retire.

After a few years of leisurely life, you can take the college entrance examination.

Then leave here and let the birds fly freely in the vast sea and sky.

There was no such thing as doing farm work. She didn't come here to suffer.

Besides, there is plenty of food and drink in the space, and the brother and sister can’t enjoy it all in several lifetimes. There is no need to make themselves suffer.

She wants to live a more exciting and free life.

There is a row of corn seedlings on each side, which is considered a ridge. Ruan Mengmeng pulls out the weeds next to the corn field on the left by herself.

Ruan Zilong was weeding in the cornfield to her right.

The two of them bent down and, imitating Jiang Mengjie who had already walked far ahead, pulled up the weeds one by one.

In order to prevent future troubles, you have to use your skills to pull out the weeds by the roots at once.

Otherwise, the weeds will sprout again in a few days, and you will have to pull them out again.

Moreover, the pulled weeds cannot be thrown away randomly. When work is over, they must be collected together and fed to the pigs raised in the team.

Don't ask her how she knew it, Jiang Mengjie told her.

The old educated youth are indeed quick on their feet and have gained experience.

In just a short while, Jiang Mengjie disappeared.

The brother and sister were left, grunting and sticking their butts out while pulling weeds.

Ruan Zilong's gloves were a bit big, so he used his left hand to hold the glove on his right hand to prevent it from falling.

When Ruan Mengmeng saw this, she frowned and decided to help him make the gloves smaller when she got home that night.

Otherwise it would be too tiring and it would be uncomfortable just looking at it.

There have been so many things happening recently. There has been no peace since the two of them went to the countryside.

She also forgot about modifying the gloves.

"Tired, little brother?"

Ruan Mengmeng was a little worried when she saw how awkward he looked. The brother and sister had never done this kind of farm work in their lives.

"I'm not tired, sis!"

Ruan Zilong wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to pull out weeds.

Ever since he took the powerful pill this morning, he felt full of strength and could easily kill a cow.

Except for the fact that the weather became hotter after the sun rose and he was sweating a little, he felt comfortable all over.

It's like taking a hot bath followed by a hot sauna.

Although Ruan Zilong had never been in a so-called hot sauna in his life, that was the feeling he got.

Seeing that he was sweating but didn't look tired, Ruan Mengmeng felt relieved.

The two men worked hard with their butts sticking out and grunting until noon, and they barely managed to pull out two rows of corn.

The new educated youth were not very fast, but the two of them were relatively fast.

In addition, they had no equipment such as gloves and hats, and they were wearing short-sleeved shirts, which was really prickly and uncomfortable.

Not to mention how much work I did, my whole body was covered with red scratches and it was itchy to death.
