"It's time to get off work. Are you used to working in the fields every day?" Nangong Ruochen looked at Yun Siying standing at the window. Seeing that she looked normal and not tired at all, he was a little surprised, but still asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I'm assigned to reclaim some wasteland with Lin Zikang. He works slowly, but I can keep up with him." Yun Siying smelled the fragrance of the food and couldn't help swallowing.

"That's good. Wash your hands first and take a rest. We can start eating when Han Yuecheng and the others come back." Nangong Ruochen said while cooking.

Yun Siying took off her gloves and rubbed her hands by the well. Fortunately, there were no grass stains on her hands, but of course, they were difficult to wash off. She came to the room and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"No, just go to the corridor and rest for a while and wait for dinner." Nangong Ruochen was busy with the work in his hands, thinking that she was so petite, he should take better care of her.

The educated youth could smell the aroma of meat from a distance. It came from the educated youth camp, so they knew who cooked it without having to think about it. Chen Siming said with some envy: "Han Yuecheng, Chen Banghua, you can eat meat again one day."

He was also short of money, but he knew how to cook. He used to buy some meat every month, but only one or two slices of meat went into his stomach each time. One month he didn't buy any meat, and his friends talked about his misfortune. Since then, he never bought meat again. He would order a dish of braised pork in red sauce at a state-owned restaurant. It was delicious and satisfying.

Nangong Ruochen is a good cook, and the conditions of the others are not bad, and he is also a person who takes advantage of others, but the three of them just agree to let him join them, and he can't do anything about it.

"Yes! As soon as I smelled this aroma, I knew that Nangong made braised pork today." As they talked, they quickened their pace.

The guys can only envy them. There were people who wanted to take advantage of them, but they were all dealt with by a few people. They all graduated from the military academy, and their skills were really good. One person could beat four people. After a few times, no one dared to kill them anymore.

"Yun Siying, you've also finished work. Can you adapt to the work in the fields?" The two of them walked into the yard with a smile, looked at Yun Siying, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, but I still want to do the job of collecting grass for pigs." Yun Siying said with a smile. She hadn't seen these people that day.

"You work for a few days first, then go talk to Captain You, it should be possible." Chen Banghua knew that Captain You was a good captain. He did not have any strict rules for the work of the educated youth. As long as they could solve their own food rations and not cause trouble for the team, it would be fine.

"Hurry up and wash your hands. We'll be eating soon." Nangong Ruochen urged them when he saw them coming back. He didn't know if Yun Siying was hungry, as he still had to wait for these two guys.

"Okay, I'll be right there." The two took out their training tools and went to the well to fetch water to wash their hands.

Yun Siying entered the room and helped take out the dishes and chopsticks and put the stools in place. The two men entered the room, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said to Yun Siying: "Siying, don't be polite, the dishes made by Nangong are delicious, you should try them."

In addition to the soft steamed buns, there is also a loofah soup, which is fresh in color, delicious in taste, and makes people feel refreshed and pleasant. The braised pork is bright red in color, fragrant, melts in the mouth, and is fatty and greasy. The final cold cucumber salad added a refreshing touch to the meal.

This combination is nutritious, delicious and appetizing. Accompanied by such delicious food, every bite seemed like an enjoyment, making people intoxicated in the taste of happiness. She ate so much that she wanted to cook alone.

After the meal, Chen Banghua began to clean up the dishes. Nangong Ruochen was very satisfied with his initiative. Said to Yun Siying: "This is your first day at work, you should be tired, go take a nap first, the two of them will clean up the dishes in the room."

"Thank you." Yun Siying said and went to the house to rest happily.

Han Yuecheng and Chen Banghua felt that although the mission had not been completed, their lives were really good. They could often eat meat, which was cooked by their husband. They had never dared to think about such a good thing before.

The people here are well fed and full of energy. Over there, Lin Zikang and Shen Mubai were both limp in the yard with sad faces. They looked listless and exhausted from the farm work all morning. Shu Ruxue was experienced and didn't need to be as embarrassed as them.

Lin Zikang looked at his dirty white shirt and black pants and felt heartbroken. The blisters on the palms of my hands are burning and painful when touched. He said in some pain: "It's only been this morning and my hand has become like this. It hurts when I touch it. How am I going to live my life from now on?"

"Mine is the same as yours. My hands are full of blisters. They hurt when I touch them. My waist is sore and the sun is hot. I think I have to continue working in the afternoon. I feel that my whole life is dark." Shen Mubai had Shu Ruxue with him, and the two of them took turns to reclaim the wasteland, but he still felt very tired and suffered a lot.

"Li Zhiqing, why don't you look tired at all?" Lin Zikang, who was so tired that he straightened his back, looked at Li Zhengyang puzzledly and asked. Before he went to the countryside, he often did housework at home, but he was never so tired and stayed in the sun for a long time.

"It takes a long time, and you get used to it. When we first came here, we were just like you, and we slowly adapted." Li Zhengyang said gently, with sadness in his eyes.

After hearing this, the other educated youth fell silent and lowered their heads. They had never done farm work before going to the countryside, and even housework was difficult for them to do. But after going to the countryside, the food was not as good as at home, and they had to work in the fields every day. They started by learning how to do it and gradually became proficient. Only they themselves could understand the hardships involved.

"Yinyin, Yun Siying will spend all the money she has, right?" At the dinner table, Xu Ziying enthusiastically picked up some food for Shu Ruxue.

"Definitely not, Mom and Dad, you have to let her go home as soon as possible, but you can get more than one thousand yuan from her. With her looks, the Xue family will definitely be satisfied. With Xue Zhiqiang's current physical condition, you can also ask for a generous betrothal gift." Shu Ruxue did not return to the educated youth site after work, and was called home by her mother for dinner.

Her father, Li Gang, worked in the fields to earn work points and often went up the mountain. Occasionally he would bring home some pheasants and rabbits for a snack, so the Li family could occasionally eat meat. She planned to come over for a meal every few days.

"Yinyin, eat more eggs. Mom made these especially for you." Xu Ziying felt so distressed when she saw Shu Ruxue picking up the chicken from the pot. She hurriedly picked up an egg for Shu Ruxue with her chopsticks.

"Thank you, Mom. The eggs you made are still as delicious as always." Shu Ruxue looked at Xu Ziying excitedly. Ever since she could remember, her memory was of her mother picking up food for Yanyan, Minglang and her brother. She never thought that her mother could now pick up food for her so gently.

"If it tastes good, eat more. Yinyin, how much money can Kyoto send you?" Xu Ziying asked again?

"He said he would send me two dollars first." Shu Ruxue was touched, and she answered Xu Ziying's questions truthfully.
