Ruan Qiqi ran downstairs to call Lu Ye.

"Qiqi, are you going on holiday early?"

Lu Ye asked happily.

He was so lonely after staying alone in the empty room for five days.

"You wish. I have to work tomorrow. You can pick me up in the evening."

Ruan Qiqi's tone was sad. She now missed the labor classes in her previous life very much. Every week's labor classes would eventually become any class in Chinese, math, English, or science, but never labor classes.

I didn’t expect that the labor classes in the 1970s actually required labor!

And if you go to work in the countryside, don't carry manure!

"Qiqi, please ask for leave. It's so tiring to work, I feel bad for you!"

When Lu Ye heard that they had to work, he immediately felt distressed. Qiqi only cooked at home and he did all the other housework. He couldn't even bear to wash the dishes, so how could he endure the hard work at school!

"It's okay, come pick me up tomorrow night!"

Ruan Qiqi comforted him, saying that there would always be a way out when the car reached the mountain, and they would see what happened tomorrow.

Labor is indeed glorious, but she is lazy!

The next morning, after gathering in the classroom, they headed towards the countryside in a mighty procession. They didn't need to bring any tools because the village had everything they needed.

The students were all very excited, and just like they were going on an outing, they walked for more than ten miles and finally arrived at the working village. The team leader was waiting for them early.

“Welcome, welcome. We warmly welcome college students to support our production!”

The team leader was particularly skilled in the reception procedures, and it was obvious that he often received college students.

"Today we are mainly carrying manure. We need to carry this pile of manure to that pit to make compost. Thank you for your hard work, students!"

The team leader led them to the cowshed and pigpen of the team. It was estimated that they had not been cleaned for many days. There were mountains of manure and seas of manure, and flies were flying everywhere, all of them with green heads.

Ruan Qiqi gritted his teeth and said, damn it, whatever you fear is bound to come true!

Her mind was working rapidly, but she couldn't think of a good solution for a moment. Just then, an old lady came over carrying a load on her shoulder and looked at them curiously.

“Are college students here to work again?”

The aunt and the captain chatted in the local dialect, which was similar to the Tanzhou dialect, with slightly different pronunciations. Ruan Qiqi listened to it without any pressure.

Her eyes rolled and she thought of a good idea.

"Teacher Jing, I'm going to the bathroom!"

Ruan Qiqi and her class teacher asked for leave and soon caught up with the aunt.

"Grandma, can I go to work with you?"

Ruan Qiqi stopped the old lady and asked, while taking out a dollar from his pocket and waving it in front of the old lady.

The one-dollar coin under the sunlight sparkled with charming golden light, blinding the old lady's eyes.

"Why not? I'll go talk to the captain!"

The aunt agreed very readily, ran quickly to talk to the team leader, and pointed at Ruan Qiqi.

"That girl is pretty hardworking. Let her come with me to weed the fields. You don't need so many people to carry manure here. The grass in the fields is taller than people!"

The captain was still hesitating.

"Sister Feng, you ate my food when you were a kid. I'm old now, so my words don't count!"

The auntie called the captain by his nickname and her tone became arrogant.

"Okay, okay, take them and pull out the weeds!"

The captain had no choice but to agree. This lady was actually his aunt and he had indeed drunk her milk when he was a child. He dared not refuse!

Ruan Qiqi was taken away by the aunt in this beautiful and charming way.

The dollar went into the aunt's pocket. The aunt was a generous person. She took Ruan Qiqi to the hillside to pull weeds. She also gave her a small bench so that she could sit and rest, and did not let her pull weeds.

"You are a delicate girl, how can you handle farm work? Don't cut your hands. Sit aside. Come to my house for lunch and I'll fry an egg for you."

"Thank you, grandma!"

Ruan Qiqi didn't hesitate to sit down, watching the old lady work and chatting with her.

"You must be thirsty, have some sweet potato!"

The old lady was also a wonderful person. After chatting and feeling thirsty, she ran to the sand above, dug up two yam, and shared them with Ruan Qiqi.

"It's from my family's private plot, don't worry about eating it!"

The aunt told Ruan Qiqi to eat with confidence.

"So sweet! Grandma, your yam is grown really well!"

Ruan Qiqi peeled the skin and took a bite. It was very juicy and sweet. She praised the old lady so much that her eyes narrowed with smiles. She also talked about how good her old man was at farming.

The whole morning was spent in such a leisurely and pleasant manner. Ruan Qiqi ate two yam and took a nap for more than an hour. When they passed by the lotus pond while going down the mountain, the aunt picked a lotus pod for her and asked her to peel the lotus seeds and eat them.

So comfortable!

Ruan Qiqi stretched her body. She really enjoyed this kind of labor class.

The aunt warmly invited her to have lunch at her home, and Ruan Qiqi gladly agreed.

The other students in the class had also finished their work and they all smelled stinky. Even Zheng Jingyun, who loved cleanliness the most, had a lot of feces on her trouser legs and looked miserable.

But there is one person who is clean and clear, that is Shangguan Qing.

The class teacher assigned her to be the scorekeeper, counting the amount of work done by each student, without her having to put in any effort at all.

Ruan Qiqi went home with her aunt and bumped into her classmates who were all covered in dust. The one walking in front was He Aihong, who loved to show off the most, so she looked the most embarrassed and the stench could be smelled from far away.

Seeing the fresh and clean Ruan Qiqi, He Aihong frowned and looked displeased.

"Student Ruan Qiqi, did you work this morning?"

"It's time to work. I'm pulling weeds with my grandma!"

Ruan Qiqi answered very seriously.

"Yes, the girl looks skinny, but she's a good worker. She's even faster than me at pulling weeds. She's a college student after all. She's always the best at everything she does!"

The aunt was also very understanding and immediately praised Ruan Qiqi in many ways.

The class teacher was pleased to hear this. If every student could be like Ruan Qiqi, their automation class would definitely be rated as an advanced class.

"How come you are clean after working?" He Aihong asked persistently.

"It means I'm good at work, just like a skilled housewife in the north who kneads dough. She needs to make sure her hands, dough and basin are all clean. That's what a skilled housewife does. If someone doesn't know how to knead dough, her hands and basin will be full of dough, and the dough will be bumpy. That's called a lazy housewife. I'm someone who works but looks like I'm not working. I'm the one who really knows how to work, don't you understand?"

Ruan Qiqi's arguments were convincing and well-founded. She also gave a meaningful look to the disheveled He Aihong, and her direction was particularly obvious.

"Yes, yes, yes, and it has to be a college student. The way they speak is very sophisticated, and that's what people who can work do are like!"

The aunt was the best supporting actor. She sang in unison with Ruan Qiqi and left He Aihong speechless.

Ruan Qiqi looked at her proudly, then walked away with the aunt.

The auntie was a good cook and she fried three eggs for her at lunch, which was considered VIP treatment in the countryside. After the meal, Ruan Qiqi gave the auntie another fifty cents for the meal.

She has always been generous to those who are kind and sincere.

The aunt who earned one dollar and fifty cents did not need Ruan Qiqi's instructions this time. She continued to take her to the mountain to pull weeds in the afternoon, while He Aihong and the others continued to carry manure. At the end of the day, Ruan Qiqi's face was rosy, while He Aihong and the others were covered in dust and dirt.

Xu Erfeng is fine, she has gotten used to it in her hometown.

Li Yuqin was like an eggplant hit by frost. On the way back, she didn't say a word and was exhausted.

There were still more than ten miles to walk back to school. Everyone walked with their heads down, which was in stark contrast to the laughter and joy when they came. After walking two or three miles, a jeep drove over and stopped in front of Ruan Qiqi.
