Yu Fei's gossip was not only met with setbacks, but she was also a little angry at Wen Nuan. After all, compared to Wen Nuan, Zhang Zhenzhen seemed to be more difficult to deal with.
As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the depth of the sea. Yu Fei will definitely pay a heavy price for her thoughts at this moment in the future.
Provoking Wen Nuan was undoubtedly the worst decision she had ever made in her life.
Early the next morning, the loud speaker in the village woke up everyone who was asleep. With the experience of her previous life, Wen Nuan quickly dressed and prepared to go out to wash.
Since the new educated youth couldn't solve the problem of the iron pot, they all chose to team up with the old educated youth, and Wen Nuan naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.
It is not difficult for her to open the stove.
There were a total of 16 female educated youths in the educated youth center. Two people worked together and took turns every eight days, so even cooking was not a very hard job.
Wen Nuan walked out of the dormitory. Many people were already washing up in the yard. Wen Nuan found a spot near the corner and quickly got herself ready.
Breakfast is cornmeal porridge with steamed buns, and pickled vegetables made from cabbage, cucumber and coriander roots.
Not to mention, there are a few female educated youth in the educated youth center who have good cooking skills. This is crisp and refreshing, very delicious.
About ten minutes after breakfast, everyone set out from the educated youth point and headed towards the grain field.
Every morning when we go to work, we gather here first. After roll call, the team leader will assign us tasks.
Some were carrying water, some were weeding, some were carrying dung, some were clearing land, some were herding cattle, and some were cutting grass for pigs.
Of course, the scorekeeper will record each person's work points for the day based on the amount of labor and the completion of the task, and summarize them once a month and calculate them once a year.
In his previous life, Wen Nuan had done weeding, land reclamation, and even shoveling manure in the later period. These were all heavy physical jobs, and he could not get any work points as long as he completed the tasks.
However, Wen Nuan didn't want to work so hard in this life. Looking at her hands that had just been healed, Wen Nuan took out the gloves she had prepared in advance from her pocket and put them on.
"Wen Zhiqing has prepared everything! Must have cost a lot of industrial coupons to make these gloves!"
Yu Fei, who was standing nearby, looked at the gloves on Wen Nuan's hands with envy. She also wanted to buy a pair when she went to the commune yesterday, but unfortunately she didn't have enough industrial coupons.
She came to look for people to travel with her and lent her two tickets, but unfortunately, except for Zhang Zhenzhen, they were all poor.
Zhang Zhenzhen used all the industrial coupons in her hand to buy a thermos, so Yu Fei could only watch the gloves pass by her and be bought by someone else.
Wen Nuan looked up at Yu Fei, taking in the expression on her face, and said calmly:
"It's a lot of money to buy gloves. Yu Zhiqing bought some cookies yesterday. Maybe he should buy a pair of gloves to wear. Then he won't be jealous of others."
Having hit a soft nail, Yu Fei gave Wen Nuan an imperceptible look and turned her head away without speaking to Wen Nuan anymore.
Wen Nuan, who enjoyed the quiet time, naturally didn't care about Yu Fei's thoughts. To her, Yu Fei was just a stranger who lived in the same room with her.
Soon, the captain turned his attention to these new educated youth. Looking at his frown, Wen Nuan naturally guessed what he was thinking.
Zhang Zhenzhen was standing in front of Wen Nuan to the right. She was wearing a polyester shirt, black trousers, and the most important thing was a pair of leather shoes. She had a big straw hat on her head. She didn't look like she was here to work but to have a picnic.
There are also Mu Xin and Ge Tingting next to Zhang Zhenzhen, one wearing crystal sandals and the other wearing a skirt, which is really hard to describe.
"There are many new educated youths in the brigade this time. The comrades in the educated youth points should help each other, pay more attention to the lives of the new educated youths, and strive to integrate them into our team as soon as possible.
Today is the first day for the new educated youth to start work, so I will not arrange too much work for you to give you some time to adapt.
Zhang Zhenzhen, Mu Xin, Ge Tingting, the three of you follow Daya to cut pigweed, Wen Nuan, Liu Panpan, Yu Fei, the three of you follow Song Chunhua to learn how to weed..."
Wen Nuan glanced at the captain and guessed that the other party made the assignments based on the clothes that the six of them were wearing. The clothes that Zhang Zhenzhen, Mu Xin and the other two were wearing were obviously not suitable for work.
Cutting pig grass may seem like a leisurely activity, but after walking to the threshing ground in leather shoes, cutting pig grass and carrying it back, your feet will probably be worn out!
There are weeds growing in the back, such as groundgrass and thorny vines. Won't Ge Tingting's dress be scratched and torn into rags?
As for the crystal sandals on Mu Xin's feet, it was estimated that it would be even worse. There were all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the grass. I believe today's after-party will be very exciting.
Wen Nuan was thankful that she didn't have to suffer as well. Although weeding was a bit tiring, she couldn't earn eight work points, but she could still earn five or six work points by marking the water.
As for the male educated youth, most of them were arranged to open up wasteland and fetch water. For the time being, the team leader did not trust them to fetch manure, after all, manure was more expensive than water.
It would be so sad if it got ruined!
After assigning the tasks, Wen Nuan, Yu Fei and Liu Panpan went to find Song Chunhua to report. Looking at the three beautiful girls standing in front of them, Song Chunhua smiled warmly.
"You three are the new educated youth assigned to me by the captain, right? Come, I'll take you to get the tools first, and then we'll go inside and I'll tell you..."
As Song Chunhua walked, he talked about some things to pay attention to when working, such as when to pick up tools, when to return tools, what kind of tools are easy to use, etc.
Although Wen Nuan had some experience in her past life, she still listened very seriously. After all, these things were related to her future life.
Before the college entrance examination was resumed, it was impossible to leave here, although every year the commune had quotas for recruiting workers back to the city, as well as quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers universities.
But there are only a few places available and they have to be divided among eight or nine teams. It will take a long time to get one.
Besides, even if it was really the Red Flag Brigade's turn, there were so many educated youths in the site, and with the members of the brigade also joining the competition, the chances of winning were too slim.
In 1976, the Red Flag Battalion actually won a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. However, it was because of this place that the entire battalion was in turmoil.
From the beginning to the end of the educated youth camp, there was never a peaceful day. Everyone was fighting over things, making plans, framing each other, stabbing each other in the back, and everything went on.
After struggling for more than a month, the final spot was cancelled by the higher-ups. Thinking of this, Wen Nuan couldn't help shaking her head. It was such a sin!
"Be sure to keep the tools you bring back safe. You can take them back when you work at noon, and return them when you work at night!"
Song Chunhua's exhortation brought Wen Nuan back to her senses, and the three of them followed Song Chunhua inside.
The first thing to learn about weed control is to recognize what is a seedling and what is a weed.
This Wen Nuan has long been familiar with each other, but Yu Fei and Liu Panpan made some jokes.
When the two of them confused weeds and seedlings for the third time, Song Chunhua couldn't help but sigh.
