However, things didn't go as planned. The three female educated youths ended up sharing a room, which was specially made available by the Zhou family.

The next day, Shen Banxia and the other educated youths prepared to go to the commune. They had no choice but to buy some things, even though they had brought a lot of things with them.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Wenzhu curled her lips in disdain and looked at Shen Banxia, ​​"Why aren't you buying anything?"

"None of your business," Shen Banxia retorted directly. She knew from the train that Xu Wenzhu was a very demanding and shameless person. Anyone who was polite to her would be taken advantage of.

"You, you're so vulgar!" Xu Wenzhu blushed. This Shen Banxia was really something. She was so easy to talk to when they first met on the train.

Jian Sufen acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Stop arguing. It's not easy for us to gather in one place, it's a kind of fate. Now that we're in an unfamiliar place, we still need to stick together."

"Hmph, it's not that I'm not united, it's Shen Banxia. I was just concerned about her."

"Oh, thank you for your concern," Shen Banxia said absentmindedly.

Xu Wenzhu felt like she had punched cotton; she was too embarrassed to say anything.

Shen Banxia glanced at the Phoenix brand bicycle in the supply and marketing cooperative, her eyes flickering. Unfortunately, there were no bicycle tickets available at the moment.

It took almost two hours to walk from Zhoujiazhuang to the commune; my legs were practically worn thin from all the walking.

"Check-in system 1823 is at your service."

Shen Banxia: ...

"Light up the story map to obtain corresponding resources," came the familiar mechanical voice.

But what exactly is a story map?

Soon, Shen Banxia understood.

"Su Wenze, how could you do this?" Xu Wenzhu looked at him with the expression of someone looking at a heartless man.

Su Wenze paused for a moment, then explained, "This lady almost fell just now, and I helped her up."

"Yes, thank you so much, Comrade Su," Zhou Mingjiao said, her face flushed, whether from the sun or from embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

"You, you shameless person!" Xu Wenzhu glared angrily at Zhou Mingjiao. Don't think she didn't see through it; she had her eye on Su Wenze.

Despite her vigilance, the little devils outside still managed to slip through the cracks.

After saying that, she glared at Chen Banxia. If they hadn't argued, would she have let that little vixen stick to Su Wenze?

Shen Banxia was baffled. Had Xu Wenzhu taken the wrong medicine?

"Check in at the Hongqi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the location where the male and female protagonists first met, and you'll be rewarded with a bundle of noodles."

Shen Banxia looked at Su Wenze and that girl. The male and female leads? Good heavens, what's going on?

However, noodles? Those are a refined food. I thought going to the countryside would be a hardship, but it seems there's been an unexpected surprise.

Obviously, the plot map will revolve around the male and female protagonists.

Hehe, in this way, I can watch a good show and get good stuff at the same time. Instantly, I developed a good impression of the 1823 system.

Shen Banxia had no idea that this was a special favor someone had made for her.

But how do we get those noodles out? And who is that girl?

Shen Banxia bought some peach shortbread and prepared to head home.

When she got back, she learned that the girl was the brigade leader's youngest daughter. It was quite strange, really; in her family, not only did they not favor boys over girls, but it was the complete opposite.

The four eldest sons were completely worthless, while the only daughter was treated like dirt, given whatever she asked for.

However, Shen Banxia soon lost interest in watching the show. These educated youths were about to start working, and they knew that their food rations were still borrowed and they had to pay them back at the end of the year.

During the summer harvest, we had to get up before dawn, eat sweet potato porridge, and then start working.

Today, the female educated youth were assigned to work in the drying yard, while the male educated youth were assigned to bundle wheat.

Although Shen Banxia had never done farm work before, she could still manage the drying yard. However, Xu Wenzhu was up to her old tricks again.

“No, we don’t want special treatment. We demand to be treated the same as the male educated youth,” Xu Wenzhu said righteously.

Shen Banxia cursed inwardly, "Damn it, does he think no one knows what he's up to?"

This is shameful for women! Are they really that dependent on men?

As expected, Su Wenze frowned.

Of course, Zhou's father did not refuse. He would not have made that arrangement if it were not to take care of the female educated youth.

Arriving at the wheat field, the scene of being mistaken for a monkey was recreated.

Especially when bundling wheat, the hands seem to have a mind of their own; they might be tied up neatly, but then suddenly they come undone.

"Haha, these educated youth are indeed as useless as the other brigades said."

"Exactly, it's something anyone can do, tsk tsk tsk."

Shen Banxia felt her face burning. Oh God, what kind of suffering is this?

She could feel her hand being pricked; she had followed the steps exactly, but the prickling was still so easy to break.

Shen Banxia carefully observed others' actions and finally began to get on the right track.

Xu Wenzhu burst into tears, but no matter how loudly she cried, Zhou's father remained unmoved.

The question is, do you want to be treated differently?

Who would dare to accept that? That would be a death sentence! Shen Banxia didn't want to be sent back to the educated youth office; otherwise, she'd probably be assigned to a farm or something.

He sighed deeply. What a tragedy, that damned Xu Wenzhu.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, as if it were about to bake people alive.

Shen Banxia was panting heavily. She could feel the heat emanating from her body, and her hair looked like it had been soaked in water. The sweat dripped into the wheat field like water.

Wiping her sweat with her sleeve, Shen Banxia felt that this wouldn't do. If she continued like this, she might not be able to get up tomorrow.

Before she could come up with a solution, she saw Zhou Mingjiao, dressed in a white dress, carrying a bamboo basket, coming from the edge of the field.

"Dad, I've brought you some water."

Shen Banxia, ​​who was about to faint, suddenly perked up. Hahaha, this is going to be good.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Zhou family's precious darling actually came to deliver water, how strange!"

Shen Banxia looked at the old woman who was marveling at her beauty and quietly moved closer to her.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?"

Someone chimed in, and the old lady became interested. "You newcomer don't know, the brigade leader's daughter is their precious darling. She has never worked in the fields. Even her clothes, her mother used to wash them, but after her sister-in-law came along, her sister-in-law washed them. She gets an egg every day, and new clothes every season."

"She's so lucky," Shen Banxia couldn't help but sigh.

"Tch, isn't it just that Wang Cuihua thinks Zhou Mingjiao is lucky? Bah!"

It was obvious they didn't get along, and Shen Banxia listened silently.

However, seeing Zhou Mingjiao walk towards Su Wenze, Shen Banxia's previously tired body was instantly filled with energy.

She's here, she's here; she's brought the storyline with her.

Looking forward to it! What supplies will we be collecting this time?
