Lin Yu waved to Ou Manqing, "Sister Manqing."
Ou Manqing walked to her side and continued, "If you ask me, Captain, you should also divide us educated youth into groups. Little Yu, come to our group."
Lin Aiguo's expression improved considerably; at least there was someone with discerning eyes who could recognize his talent.
His niece is such a good worker, if they don't want her, then he won't force them.
So he nodded, "Okay, then you can form groups."
Finally, Ou Manqing, Zhang Lili, Yu Haiyang, and Lin Yu formed a group.
Song Meili, Zhao Xiumei, and Zhang Bing are in one group.
The educated youth team leader, Zhou Huanan, led a group of other educated youth.
This was exactly what Lin Yu wanted; she wanted to get up close and personal with the main characters.
Today they were assigned a sandy plot of land, and they needed to pull out the weeds first, and then hoe the ground.
Now that we've divided into groups, each side will take half.
Ou Manqing led Lin Yu and first demonstrated it to her.
Lin Yu thought to herself, "Isn't this simple?"
They started working on the spot.
Although it is sandy land with relatively loose soil, there are still some stubborn grasses that cling too tightly to the ground.
Ou Manqing told her that she could use a small hoe to dig it open.
Seeing that the small hoe was with Zhang Lili, Lin Yu was too lazy to go over and ask for it, so she simply pulled it out with her bare hands.
The three main characters were also working hard, after all, they had been here for a year and were very skilled at doing these kinds of farm work.
Perhaps because of his engagement, Yu Shengli always gets close to Ou Manqing.
Ou Manqing was rather quiet, unlike her lively self yesterday. She seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding any contact with him.
Zhang Lili's performance was also normal, until they had been working for quite a while.
She wiped her sweat, went to get the water bottle to drink, and also took Ou Manqing's and Yu Haiyang's bottles.
Ou Manqing and Yu Haiyang have the same model of water bottle, which is military green. It was mentioned in the novel that both of them have elders in the military and come from similar backgrounds, so they have known each other since childhood.
Zhang Lili was their junior high school classmate. She came from an ordinary family and only managed to infiltrate their group after becoming friends with Ou Manqing.
Her water bottle was just an ordinary wooden one, and it seemed like there was only a mouthful of water left in it. So after Ou Manqing and Yu Haiyang finished drinking, she took the water bottle from them.
He said, "Manqing, let me have a sip of your water."
After saying that, he opened a green water bottle and drank directly from it.
"Hey, I think I made a mistake. This is Ocean's water bottle. Sorry, Ocean Bro."
Yu Haiyang paused for a moment, then said, "It's nothing."
Zhang Lili said apologetically, "I'll wash the kettle this afternoon and then fill it up and bring it in for you."
Yu Haiyang was a little flustered. "No need, I can bring it myself."
Zhang Lili asked, feeling a little wronged, "Manqing, is Haiyang angry?"
If Lin Yu wasn't mistaken, Ou Manqing had just secretly rolled her eyes!
She turned around and said, "This is between the two of you, I don't care."
Zhang Lili seemed surprised by the answer and appeared somewhat embarrassed.
The atmosphere among the three was somewhat awkward.
Lin Yu stepped forward and said, "Sister Manqing, we're done. We can stop working now."
Lin Yu was multitasking, listening to gossip while working, which was quite amusing.
Before she knew it, she had pulled up all the weeds and hoeed the entire field.
Ou Manqing exclaimed, "Xiaoyu, how did you finish so quickly!"
Zhang Lili and Yu Haiyang, no longer caring about their embarrassment, quickly looked up.
She really did it all!
The three of them had only worked on that small part for so long, but in the short time it took to talk, Lin Yu had finished all the work.
When the brigade leader said he was going to assign Lin Yu to his unit, Zhang Lili was a little unhappy.
But she wasn't as foolish as Song Meili; she knew that the captain was not someone to be easily offended.
When Ou Manqing took the initiative to assign Lin Yu to their group, she was a little angry, but she also knew that Ou Manqing's decision was irreversible, so why should she ask?
At worst, I'll just work a little longer, that way I'll have a chance to spend more time with Yu Haiyang.
Who would have thought that Captain Lin's decision to assign his niece to them was truly for the good of the educated youth?
Another group in the educated youth team was equally shocked.
Seeing how capable Lin Yu was, Zhang Bing couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted with Song Meili. If it weren't for her, they would have finished their work by now.
Zhao Xiumei rolled her eyes and said, "Comrade Lin is so capable. I should have known better than to divide us into groups."
As she spoke, she glanced at Song Meili as if by accident, which made Zhang Bing even more resentful towards Song Meili.
"Song Meili, don't judge others by your own standards anymore. The captain was just trying to help us, and you still managed to offend him."
Song Meili's eyes widened. "You're blaming me now? Weren't you all just complaining about her too?"
Zhang Bing glanced in the direction of the brigade leader and found that he wasn't there. "Don't be so loud. I didn't mean to complain about her. You were the one who kept saying that the brigade leader was being biased and that she couldn't do the work."
Zhao Xiumei whispered, "Meili, don't be angry. Let's be more careful in the future and not offend the brigade leader again."
Zhang Bing: "Look at her, Zhao Xiumei is much more sensible than you."
Song Meili was instantly enraged by the two people's alternating accusations.
"Fine, just now everyone was complaining about that woman, but now it's all my fault. You two are birds of a feather, spineless cowards, ptooey."
She took another tree branch and ran around, dividing the area their group was responsible for into three parts.
"From now on, I have no interest in working with you. Let's keep our bridges and roads separate and do our own thing."
