Jiang Baige and several female educated youth had no idea how many times they had walked back and forth on the road from the village threshing ground to the fields today.

She was so tired that she just wanted to sit down on the ground and not get up until the end of time. She didn't want to do any work at all.

Jiang Baige muttered as she walked, "It's so tiring to work so hard to earn only five or six work points a day."

"Is there any work with lower points? It doesn't matter if the work points are lower. I really don't want to do this anymore."

Seeing that she couldn't walk, Wu Juan pushed Jiang Baige from behind.

Hearing her say this, Wu Juan said, "Don't say such discouraging words. We have come so far here, how can we survive without work points? Without work points, where will we get food?"

"Without food, we will starve to death."

"Comrade Li Yan can even save some money and send it back to her family. But for us, let alone sending it back, we can barely even fill our stomachs here."

After hearing her words, Jiang Baige really wanted to say, working really makes you tired to death, I don’t do anything, so I shouldn’t starve to death.

But she didn't dare to say that after all, and could only follow and work honestly.

The male educated youth dug tree roots and carried stones. They were all in their twenties and were young laborers.

They all wielded hoes and dug up tree roots and stones. Although it was tiring, they could earn eight to ten work points a day.

They were all working very hard, and although they were much more tired than the female comrades, they had no complaints at all.

They disdain to do the work of weeding and carrying firewood that female comrades do because their work points are too low and they would be laughed at if they told others about it.

When she got off work, Jiang Baige separated from the other educated youth in the compound and hurried home.

We finished work late today, and the sky was dark, as if it was going to rain.

While walking on the road, she met several villagers who greeted her.

She has never remembered people. When people greet her, she just feels that they look familiar and cannot stand seeing their names.

Wang Guihua asked, "Comrade educated youth, I heard you moved in with Aunt Meng. How's it going? Has she given you any trouble?"

Jiang Baige really couldn't understand why the villagers all said that Grandma Meng was difficult to get along with, but she got along very well with them these past few days!

Seeing that this person was still staring at her, she forced a smile and said, "It's okay! Grandma Meng is fine."

Wang Guihua thought she had heard it wrong and asked in disbelief?

"You've been together for a few days, don't you think she's weird?"

Jiang Baige shook her head, "No."

The two walked together for a while and then parted ways. Later, Jiang Baige met a few more people and greeted them briefly.

She didn't know why these people were walking so fast, and soon they left her behind.

In order to keep up with them, Jiang Baige walked very fast. When she saw that they were almost home, she slowed down. Only then did she feel that her legs were not her own.

She was really tired today. She worked all day. The first half of the day was fine, cutting grass and hauling firewood.

I couldn't do it in the afternoon. After a busy afternoon, my arms and legs were sore from exhaustion that I couldn't even lift my feet to walk. I walked into the house reluctantly.

At this time, it was time for dinner. Grandma Meng was carrying firewood in the yard, apparently preparing to cook.

With only one hand available, he did it bit by bit. Looking at his skinny back, he looked quite pitiful.

Seeing that she was working so hard even with the inconvenience of one hand, Jiang Baige took a deep breath, mustered up his energy and came to her side.

Jiang Baige shouted, "Grandma Meng, just leave it there! Why don't you wait for me to do it? What if you get hurt?"

After he finished speaking, he took the firewood from Grandma Meng's hand.

Grandma Meng said, "You've already finished work, but dinner isn't ready yet! Go and rest for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Jiang Baige really wanted to rest, but looking at the old lady, she didn't feel comfortable doing so.

"Let's go! Let's do it together."

"You little girl, are you very tired today?" Grandma Meng said as she walked into the house.

As the two walked into the house, Grandma Meng said, "Take your time to work. You haven't fully grown yet. Don't overwork yourself. When you get old, you'll be the one who suffers."

What Grandma Meng said made sense. Jiang Baige nodded and said, "I don't want to risk my life either! I will definitely listen to you from now on."

Watching Grandma Meng washing rice and cooking, an idea suddenly popped into her mind: she wanted to eat meat.

When I think of meat, my mouth starts to water and I feel very panicked.

She had a bold idea, that it would be great if she could make Grandma Meng her own.

As long as she treats herself as one of your own and trusts you, she won’t find it strange no matter what you give her in the future.

Clearing his throat, Jiang Baige asked, "Grandma Meng, let's eat meat! I want to eat meat."

Grandma Meng paused, "Where's the meat coming from? The village can't possibly be slaughtering pigs at this hour. Are there dead pigs in the farm?"

Jiang Baige smiled and said, "No, dead pigs are not tasty either!"

"Didn't I tell you I'm a fairy? If you just believe I'm a fairy, I'll make you flesh."

Grandma Meng just thought that the little girl was joking and was trying to amuse her.

It's not the New Year or any other festival, so where can we get the meat?

She said nonchalantly, "Okay, if you want to eat meat, let's eat meat."

"Pumpkin meat, potato meat, whatever you want to eat."

Jiang Baige didn't care about all that. Her stomach started growling at the thought of meat.

I took out a piece of meat from the space. It looked about one pound in size, which should be enough for two people to eat for a meal.

Jiang Baige said, "How about we have braised pork and potatoes tonight? Can we have some rice on top? I want to eat something like this."

As she spoke, she came to Grandma Meng, raised her hand and put the meat in Grandma Meng's hand.

She said seriously: "Grandma Meng, I really am a little fairy."

Grandma Meng felt something soft in her hand, and uncertainly brought it under her nose to smell it. It smelled like pork meat.

"Where did you get this meat? You didn't go to work this afternoon, so go to town and get it."

The old lady still didn't believe what she said. Jiang Baige smiled and changed her tone.

His voice became a little hoarse, imitating the voices of those old gods in TV dramas.

"Mrs. Meng, I am a fairy, why don't you believe me?"

The voice suddenly changed, like that of another person. She couldn't tell who was speaking. Grandma Meng swallowed hard and spoke a little stutteringly.

"You, you are really a fairy?"

"I, I am a good person, a good person."

His voice trembled and his expression changed.

Jiang Baige hurried to support her, afraid that she would be frightened.

He hurriedly said, "I know you are a good person, so I came to save you. As long as you keep the secret for me, we can live a good life in the future."

Grandma Meng trembled, "I, I will definitely not tell anyone."

Seeing that Grandma Meng was really scared by her, Jiang Baige felt a little guilty.

I just wanted to eat some meat, but if I really scared the old lady, it would be a big sin.
