There were also some female educated youth who, when they went to the fields for the first time, saw insects in the cornfield. They were so scared that they screamed and jumped high, wishing they could escape from there immediately and never come back.

The funniest thing is that Xiaoyan is really amazing.

I don’t know how much she likes wearing skirts. Even when she goes to the fields to pull weeds, she still wears a blouse and small leather shoes.

Fortunately, she was very strong, so doing farm work was no big deal for her, except that she got a little dirty.

The most unexpected thing is that Liu Jianing, that scheming white lotus, somehow hooked up with Ning Liping, the accountant of the brigade.

Not only did the man help him with the work for a while, but the two of them also chatted and laughed. It only took a short while!

Ruan Mengmeng couldn't help but admire this woman's method of seducing men. Only Zhang Sinian, that big ice cube, ignored her.

However, these are not her concerns. She only cares about her younger brother Ruan Zilong.

When the sun is about to rise to the middle of the sky, it is time for lunch.

The people at the educated youth site had already been arranged. Today it was Xia Xiaojing's group, so they went back to make lunch.

They cooked meals and brought them to other educated youth.

Everyone ate in the fields and then continued working.

Otherwise, running back and forth home would waste too much time on the road, and I wouldn’t earn many work points in a day.

There are also villagers who often go to the fields. They prepare lunch early in the morning and take it with them.

At noon, I ate dry food in the field and continued working after eating without delaying the work at hand at all.

It was Ruan Mengmeng’s first time working in the fields, and she had no idea about this, so she didn’t prepare lunch for the siblings.

She didn't care at all about how many work points she could earn. She didn't rely on work points to make a living, so there was no need for her to work so hard.

"Little brother, cool off under this tree for a while. I'm going home to make something to eat!"

It’s almost noon. Whether I work or not, I can’t miss the chance to eat.

The cornfield is very close to the Youth League Home, only about ten minutes away.

She can just go back and make some, or take some out from the space, just for show!

After all, I came here empty-handed in the morning, and now there’s no way I can conjure up something to eat out of thin air!

Ruan Zilong understood what she meant, nodded, and obediently sat under a big tree.

"Okay sister, I'll wait for you here!"

"good!"

Ruan Mengmeng wiped the sweat off her forehead, took off her gloves, and hurried to the Youth League compound.

Before leaving, he brought back both of their water bottles.

I have almost finished the water in it this morning, so I will add some more water when I get home to avoid being thirsty in the afternoon and having no water to drink.

When she returned to the Youth League Home, smoke was already rising from the kitchen of the old Youth League members.

It seems that they have already started making lunch.

She fetched a basin of clean water, washed her face and hands, and felt much cooler.

After thinking about it carefully, there was nothing I could do. It was really hot in the middle of the day.

I can’t bring soup to my brother, otherwise it will all be clumped together when it arrives.

It’s better to eat rice. It can keep you full and won’t make you bloated.

He took out two boxes of yakiniku rice and poured the rice into the aluminum lunch box he brought from home.

The lunch boxes I stocked up in the past were all packaged in the transparent disposable plastic lunch boxes of later generations. If I took them out, they would be easily discovered, so I needed to replace them.

Anyway, she was alone in the house now, and the two people in the backyard were cooking and had no time to come over.

He took four pickled tea eggs, put them in a bag, and put the lunch box into the cloth bag.

The kettle was also filled with pure water and mixed with more than half of spiritual spring water, which could quench thirst and moisturize the body at the same time.

Looking at the hot weather, she dipped the towel outside in some water to make it a little wet, put it into the bag, and then put it into the cloth bag.

Feeling that nothing was missing, Ruan Mengmeng walked out, locked the wooden door, picked up the cloth bag, and walked towards the cornfield.

She didn't fire, so it was faster.

When I left, the two people behind me were still busy there. Maybe it was because they had cooked so much food that they were not working so fast!

Anyway, I’m the only one here. If someone asks me, I’ll just say that I made it last night but just didn’t bring it with me.

Can people still come to her place and check to get to the bottom of the matter?

That's impossible. It's such a hot day, and going into the kitchen to cook in the middle of the day is no joke.

Besides, I had done farm work all morning...

She walked very quickly and arrived under the tree where Ruan Zilong was cooling off in just seven or eight minutes.

Ruan Zilong sat there very obediently, like a good baby.

There were also many educated youth who had stopped to rest, as well as a few villagers she didn't know.

"Are you hungry, little brother?"

“A little bit…!”

Ruan Zilong touched his flat belly and felt a little hungry.

From morning till now, he has basically digested his breakfast.

"Wipe your face and hands!"

Ruan Mengmeng found a more empty place, took out a wet towel from the cloth bag, opened it and handed it to Ruan Zilong.

"Sister, is there any water?"

Ruan Zilong wiped his face and then his neck.

Apart from the sweat, my whole body was sticky, which was really uncomfortable.

After wiping these, he started wiping his hands again.

After pulling weeds all morning, his hands were covered with dark green weed juice and black mud.

After just a few wipes, the towel became dirty.

"Yes, drink less first, save some for dinner later, then drink after dinner..."

Ruan Mengmeng handed over the water bottle on her shoulder, but Ruan Zilong did not take it and was in a dilemma holding the towel.

"Sister, this..."

He was a little worried. Such a clean towel was made so dirty after being wiped by him. Would he be able to wash it later?

"It's okay, it's dirty, I'll just wash it when I get home tonight!"

In crowded places, wet wipes cannot be used, so you can only use towels.

Otherwise, are you just waiting to be killed by the heat?

"oh!"

Ruan Zilong was comforted and stopped thinking about it. He put the towel back into the original bag and started helping his sister take things out.

Each of them had a box of rice, two eggs, and water in the kettle. With food and drink, life was wonderful.

The moment I opened the lunch box, a fragrant smell wafted out.

The people around them sniffed their noses, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy, staring at the two of them.

Ruan Mengmeng ignored the gazes of these people, took out the tea eggs, peeled them for her younger brother, and put them in his lunch box.

Ruan Zilong was hungry, so he picked up a tea egg and took a big bite, eating it with rice and roast pork, enjoying it very much.

Seeing that her brother was eating with relish, Ruan Mengmeng felt relieved and picked up her lunch box and prepared to eat.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat, Grandma, I want to eat meat!"

A childish voice sounded from the side.

Ruan Mengmeng glanced over and saw a little boy of five or six years old pulling an old lady's sleeve and shaking her hard.
