Transmigrating to the 70s, Taking My Younger Sister to the Countryside

Apocalypse overlord Yang Baiyi, while leading a team to clear out zombies, perished along with the zombie king.

When she awoke again, she found herself in a mourning hall, surrounded by relat...

Chapter 53: Homesickness

"These Northeastern women are so tough!"

A group of people jogged back to the educated youth compound, and even after entering the gate they were still a little scared.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, it's a good thing you went there late last night. You're so good-looking. If they had run into you, they would have eaten you alive."

Everyone was afraid for Yang Baiyi.

These old ladies from Northeast China are so fierce and tough. Even when there are ten educated youths together, it doesn't stop them from teasing them.

If Comrade Yang Baiyi had met them while taking a shower yesterday, I wonder what they would have done.

"You're worrying too much. They're just a bit bold and straightforward, and are naturally optimistic and humorous.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they dare to say anything. In fact, they are just joking and will not do anything out of line.

Well, you guys have had enough of your bath, go to bed now."

The old educated youth returned to their rooms, and Yang Baiyi, Cui Jinfa and others also returned to the main house.

The next day, just as the sky was getting light, Yang Baiyi kicked Cui Jinfa next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Cui Jinfa asked dazedly.

"You and He Yingying are on duty today. You should get up and cook."

Yang Baiyi said.

"It's not daybreak yet. No hurry. I'll sleep a little longer."

Cui Jinfa turned over and planned to take another nap.

"Hurry up, we have to start work today. If you make it so that everyone can't catch up with the work schedule, I want to see how you explain it to everyone."

Yang Baiyi knew that Cui Jinfa was too excited playing in the river last night and was a little tired afterwards and had not rested yet.

"Okay, I'll get up now, you can sleep a little longer."

Cui Jinfa struggled to get up from the kang, put on his clothes and got off.

There were voices coming from the yard. It should be He Yingying and Li Xue who had gotten up.

Breakfast was prepared very quickly and was ready in a short while. Cui Jinfa went to the main room and asked everyone to get up and eat.

"Sure! Comrade Cui Jinfa, both large water vats are full. You're quite fast!"

Fan Jin went to the yard to fetch water to wash his face and found that all the water jars were full.

"No, it was Comrade Sun Dongchao who carried the water today. He had already filled it up when I got up."

Cui Jinfa scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was his turn on duty today, but he seemed to have just lit a fire in the kitchen and did nothing else.

"Yesterday's water was carried by Comrade Yang Baiyi. It's our turn today. We can't let you new educated youth do everything."

Sun Dongchao said with a smile.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, the beans we stir-fried today were also grown in Sister Li Xue's vegetable garden. Sister Li Xue sent them directly to our kitchen."

He Yingying said to everyone.

If you have benefited from others, you should remember their kindness and make sure all your comrades know about it.

"Sister-in-law, thank you so much."

On behalf of everyone, Yang Baiyi expressed his gratitude to Li Xue.

“Comrade Yang Baiyi, you’re welcome. In the countryside, these vegetables are the least valuable.

We can't eat everything we grow in the vegetable garden, so don't go to the brigade headquarters to pick vegetables. We have some in the yard, so just pick and eat them."

Li Xue said generously.

"Comrade Yang Baiyi, there's still some vacant space in the yard. Let's take some time to turn the soil over. It's time to plant radishes and cabbages.

Plant them now so they can be eaten when the frost comes. Then we can store some sauerkraut and pickled radish strips so we don't have to worry about food during the winter."

Han Fei discussed with Yang Baiyi while washing up.

"Okay, Captain Han has experience, we'll listen to you."

Yang Baiyi only knew that cabbage was a common vegetable in winter, and there was a saying that cabbage should be stored for the winter, but he really didn't know when was the right time to plant it.

After everyone finished washing up, they went back to their rooms to eat.

"I didn't realize that Comrade He Yingying's craftsmanship is also quite good. It's almost catching up with Comrade Yang Baiyi's."

Dong Yiming took a bite and gave a half-hearted flattery.

“I’m the eldest in the family, my parents are both working, and I started cooking when I was six years old.

That left a deep impression on me. I was not even as tall as the stove, and I had to stand on a stool when cooking.

It’s been five or six days since I left home. I don’t know if my parents and my brothers and sisters will miss me.”

He Yingying stood there in a daze, holding the sorghum rice.

"I was naughty since I was little, and neighbors and classmates' parents would often come to my house to visit me. My mom would often apologize to them, and my dad would often beat me.

I originally thought that my going to the countryside to work in the fields would be a relief for my parents.

Unexpectedly, when my mother found out that I had signed up, she locked herself in the bedroom and cried for a long time.

My father also drank too much and said that he felt sorry for me, that he didn't educate me well when I was a child, and that he didn't find me a job after I graduated.

Growing up, I always thought that I was the least favored one in the family. For this reason, I gave up and made them angry a lot.

It was not until I signed up to go to the countryside that I realized that my parents loved me too.

It's too late now, I don't think I've ever done anything to make them proud."

"Me too. I couldn't find a job after graduation, so my dad was planning to retire early and let me take over.

But there are four brothers and sisters in my family. What will happen to my younger siblings if I take over their job?

As the eldest child in the family, I always have to think more about my parents."

He Yingying's words successfully aroused everyone's emotions, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little depressing.

Everyone was talking and laughing these past two days, looking carefree.
