As expected, with more experience and more treasures, there will always be something useful. If metaphysics is not enough, then technology will be enough!
This black technology is simply too amazing.
Gu Can immediately went to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath, changed into soft and clean pajamas, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
"Knock, knock, knock, Cancan, get up! It's time to go to work!" It was another young woman, Ding Min, eighteen years old, who had come from Hai City. She had been struggling with the climate for the first few days here. The original owner, Xue Yuanyuan, had picked some herbs and boiled some water for her to drink. Then she got better, out of gratitude and also because she felt that Gu Can, despite his youth, had taken better care of her.
Every day she would call Gu Can to go to work together.
"I'm coming, Sister Minmin, I'll be ready soon." Gu Can went to bed late, but slept well, so he got up relatively early. Gu Can swallowed the last bite of bread in his mouth, destroyed all the packaging, put on the coat that looked not warm at all, and went out.
"You got up quite early today. Have you had breakfast?" Ding Min smiled at Gu Can when she saw her come out so quickly.
"Well, the leftover vegetable soup from yesterday can be eaten with some hot water." Gu Can replied. This is what Gu Can did in the past.
"Finally you know to save hot water at night." Ding Min was really praising him. Gu Can used to have no ability to live well. Most of the time he even had to borrow hot water from Ding Min in the morning.
"Why don't you two wait for me? Oh, it's so cold here. I couldn't even warm up after sleeping all night." The one who came running over was the only male educated youth, Hao Aiguo, who came from the Northeast. He said he was eighteen years old, but he was tall and strong, and looked a little anxious. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like he was almost thirty.
He looked intimidating, but he had a kind heart. Living with him at the educated youth camp made Gu Can and Ding Min feel much safer.
"The cold here is different from that in the north, and they don't have any floor heating or anything like that, so I just resist it." Gu Can was used to it as he was from here, but the original owner was from Kyoto and was not used to it at first.
"It's never been this cold in Haishi, but it's nice here, too." Ding Min liked this place the most of the three. Her original name was Zhaodi. The "Min" was given to her by her literacy teacher, who praised her intelligence and quick wit, promising her a bright future.
Her family was planning to marry her to an old man and find a job for her younger brother. She found a teacher and the director of the Women's Federation, and was finally able to come here from the countryside.
She likes it here very much, even though the house is dusty, she can hardly understand what people say, and she is not used to the food. But here, no one will ask her to take care of her brother or give in to him, force her to change jobs for him, and give her a separate room.
She was able to eat her fill.
When she was not working, she would repeatedly read the textbooks she brought with her and the books given to her by her teachers. No one would ever say that she was being pretentious and had no destiny to study.
There isn't much work to do here. She started doing housework and cooking for the family when she was very young, and it was even more tiring than it is now.
Here, in this strange place where she is not used to the local climate, she feels unusually peaceful and content.
"It's okay. I definitely still like our place. Alas, why am I worse than my brother? Why did I fail the military assessment? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sent here by my grandfather to help him find old comrades." Hao Aiguo sighed.
"Speak nicely, those Red Guards are very powerful." Gu Can said in a low voice after looking around.
"Our sister Cancan is smart. Okay, I'll remember it." Hao Aiguo also knew that it was for his own good.
The three of them had a tacit understanding and never asked about each other's past. In this day and age, no one dared to trust others easily. It was only after getting to know each other better in the past few months that Hao Aiguo temporarily relaxed his guard. However, he was a simple and honest person and easily trusted others.
Originally, Gu Can was the youngest and was shy and introverted, so all the external dealings were done by Ding Min and Hao Aiguo. However, Hao Aiguo was a rather honest and straightforward person, so Ding Min also gave him a lot of advice.
The three of them chatted as they reached the gathering place. The entire Yujian Brigade consisted of six production teams, with the largest being Yujian Team 2, numbering a full 125 people. Children aged eight or nine were considered semi-laborers, earning one or two work points a day by foraging for pigs. Their families would never let them sit idle.
The Fish and Arrow Team 2 consisted of the people living in the riverside house, the middle house, the waterline house, the bamboo forest house, and the people living on the slopes of the mountain. They weren't close, but they weren't far either. Gu Can was stunned when he first heard the name of this place. They weren't a village, but some kind of house.
For example, the middle house has eight families living in it, and of course it is impossible for them to live in the same house under the same roof. But they all call it the middle house.
In the southwest, crops can be grown year-round, so there's no such thing as a busy or slack season. It's already the end of the tenth lunar month. The radishes and cabbages planted earlier are ripe, and today Gu Can and Ding Min are assigned to harvest the cabbages.
Gu Can remembered the video he had seen before, the cabbage killer, reaching down with both hands to grab and twist it. Gu Can fell flat on his butt.
"Hahaha, little educated youth Gu, you don't have the strength in your hands, why don't you learn from us." Cheng Suhui from the field next door saw it and said happily, then walked up and pulled Gu Can up.
"Thank you, Aunt Cheng."
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? Just take your time, don't rush. It looks so young, just give it a couple more twists and it'll be fine. (Just like this, a couple more twists and it'll be fine.)" Cheng Suhui lived in the middle house. Her youngest daughter, Tang Guiying, was the same age as Gu Can. She was a straightforward girl, decisive in both her words and actions, and very skillful with her hands.
