When Lu Xia heard that he had to pull out the weeds so many times, he felt dizzy. This was too difficult. Wouldn’t it be better to just use pesticides?

Pesticides should have been invented by this time, right? Why weren't they used?

Is it not popular yet?

Alas, it is such a simple matter, but it wastes so much manpower and time.

Okay, that’s too far-fetched.

Anyway, they go to the countryside to work. If not this, there are other things. They can never have an idle time.

Lu Xia worked for more than an hour and was so exhausted that he felt like his legs and waist were no longer his own.

Over there, Zhuang Hongmei was deliberately dawdling, going to the toilet for a while and then resting on the ground.

Su Man moved at the same speed as Lu Xia. She probably didn't want to do it either, but she knew she had to leave a good impression on everyone since she arrived.

Lu Xia felt dry in the mouth, looked up at the sun above his head, stopped, opened the kettle and drank a mouthful of the spiritual spring water. He instantly felt much better and was glad that he brought a kettle.

...

...

After a brief rest, she continued working again. She had already fallen far behind Sun Shengnan and the others, and the gap could not be too big.

After finally making it to noon, Lu Xia heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the team leader strike the gong, indicating that it was time to get off work.

If she didn't rest, she didn't know if she could continue.

Walking back with the old educated youth, Sun Shengnan comforted them by looking at them, saying, "It's like this when you first arrive. You'll get used to it. Our work is not as good as the villagers', but it can't be too much worse, otherwise the work points we earn won't be enough to eat."

Lu Xia and the others nodded in pretended agreement, each with their own thoughts in mind.

Especially Su Man, she was not short of money to begin with, and she came to work just to avoid appearing to be so out of place. After all, she had just arrived in the countryside, and she couldn't be too special.

But working was too tiring and she couldn't hold on any longer after just one morning. Looking at her sunburned skin, she felt it necessary to change jobs.

So after thinking for a while, he asked, "Sister Shengnan, aren't our educated youth sent to the countryside to promote rural construction? Aren't there other more valuable jobs? Like being a teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Shengnan glanced at Su Man, as if she understood what she meant.

"Of course there are teachers. There are three educated youths working in the village primary school now, but they all became teachers after marrying villagers."

After hearing this, Lu Xia and the others understood. They didn't expect that the village was so xenophobic.

Su Man frowned, "So if you want to have another job you have to become a villager first?"

Hearing her ask so bluntly, Sun Shengnan sighed, "Maybe there are too many educated youth sent to the countryside in recent years, and they have caused a lot of bad things, so the villagers don't have a good impression of us. In their eyes, educated youth represent trouble. But if we marry the locals and completely integrate into their community, it will be much better."

At this point, she paused again and continued, "In addition to the three teachers in the primary school, there is also a handyman in the clinic who is also married to an educated youth in the village. In addition, a worker-peasant-soldier college student recommended two years ago was also selected by our educated youth. He married the daughter of a township leader."

After hearing what she said, Lu Xia and the others felt gloomy.

It seems that this village is extremely xenophobic. It will be difficult to find a good job.

Several people looked unhappy, especially Zhuang Hongmei, who asked directly what the previous educated youth had done to make the villagers have such a bad impression of them.

But Sun Shengnan didn't say it.

Zhuang Hongmei could only curse the old educated youth in her heart for being nosy and causing them to be implicated.
