Before it was completely pulled back, after the large vat was unloaded, he made two more trips.

He Wan felt like she was going back in time. She was calm and composed, and after living here for a few months, she felt like she was getting closer to the real world.

In the end, Xie Meihui took away a large jar and a small jar.

Su Ranran and He Wan took a set, and she and Zhang Cuicao cleaned the large vat and put it aside for use.

Xue Zhenzhen bought two small jars from the village and went to the brigade to buy a few pounds of beans.

He walked to Su Ranran carrying it.

Without saying a word, he sat next to her.

Su Ranran glanced at her and said, "What are you doing?"

Xue Zhenzhen looked at her and sighed softly: "Su Zhiqing, I used to be a bit domineering, but I didn't expect that I would be isolated." Then she pointed her chin at Xie Meihui and Ding Shaoling not far away: "They don't like me, and I don't like them either."

Zhang Cuicao looked at Su Ranran, then at Xue Zhenzhen, and said nothing.

Su Ranran didn't say anything either.

Xue Zhenzhen waited for a long time, and seeing that they both were pretending to be stupid, she pursed her lips. The pride in her heart would not allow her to bow her head and beg others. After thinking for a while, she took the beans in her hand and prepared to leave.

He Wan, who was not far away, looked at their childish behavior and laughed, but she also said: "Xue Zhiqing, since you are the only one left, then follow us. It's not too late to plant the beans now."

Xue Zhenzhen turned her head and glanced at He Wan, and after a long moment of disbelief, she said, "You guys are willing to help me."

He Wan smiled: "We are all from the same educated youth camp. We came here from all over the world and have lived here for many years. If you ask me, we are no worse than biological sisters, don't you think so?"

Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao were touched when they heard this. Yes, after coming here, many things they had never encountered or experienced before. Without the guidance of their parents, they had to rely on themselves for everything.

Su Ranran said: "It's not too late now, wash the beans and put them in."

Xue Zhenzhen hummed in a muffled voice, lowered her head and gave the beans to Su Ranran. After a while, she joined them. He Wan looked at her eyes. Did she cry because of what she said just now? How strange.

After the beans are boiled in the evening, cover the basket with a layer of white cloth and put the beans directly in it to keep them covered.

Wang Xiaorong and Li Chunsheng also came back. They had two bamboo baskets full of everything, including hazelnuts, walnuts, wild vegetables, and wild mushrooms.

Several people sorted them out and hung them in the yard to dry.

This kind of hard work and lively life is what He Wan yearns for, not all kinds of calculations and conflicts all day long.

In the front yard, Wang Jianguo and his friends counted the bill while having dinner.

Thirty-five pounds of beans cost 14.4 yuan, a large jar cost 4.8 yuan, and salt cost 1.1 yuan. Each person took out 2.9 yuan, and Chen Zhiqing packed his own jar.

At this point, Wang Jianguo seemed to remember something and carefully asked Xue Zhenzhen beside him: "Xue Zhiqing, it seems you didn't take the beans."

Everyone was stunned, especially Zhang Deping, who had a trace of embarrassment on his face. Douzi forgot to bring Xue Zhenzhen with him.

Xue Zhenzhen didn't even turn her head or look at her. She said, "No need, I'll do it myself." Then she continued to eat her meal.

Everyone now lowered their heads in embarrassment and started eating. No one was talking at the originally lively dinner party.

However, everyone has no objection to the pickled soybean paste this year. In the winter in Northeast China, there are not many vegetables, and we rely entirely on sauerkraut. In the past, it cost a lot to buy sauerkraut soybean paste from villagers, and there was not much of it.

Girls' dormitory in the front yard at night.

Ding Shaoling and Xue Zhenzhen were sitting at the head and the tail of the kang, and they were separated by a world of distance. After seeing Xue Zhenzhen lying down, Ding Shaoling asked, "Today is the first time for everyone to try making soybean paste. We have been busy buying and changing things, so it is inevitable that we have forgotten some things. We have only boiled beans here. Why don't you bring them over and put them together so that it will be convenient for eating later."

"No, it's fine to do it alone."

In the darkness, Ding Shaoling suddenly asked after a while: "How are you and Zhang Aimin? When are you planning to have the wedding?"

There was no response in the air for a long time. Ding Shaoling did not ask any more questions and turned around to give Xue Zhenzhen her back.

Today, He Wan made breakfast for a rare occasion. She fried some spicy and sour potato shreds and made some pot stickers while eating.

In the backyard, He Wan saw the mushrooms Wang Xiaorong and the others were making, and suddenly laughed, "I can also make mushroom sauce. Hmm. Do you want to make mushroom sauce?"

Wang Xiaorong and the others were squatting outside with breakfast in their hands. When they heard her words, they hurriedly said, "Yes, we have picked a lot of mushrooms these days. Can He Zhiqing help us? We don't know how to do it."

"Okay, if you guys don't like spicy food, you can get some chili."

So, after dinner, Li Zheng went to the farm again and bought three small jars, one for Su Ranran and one for He Wan.

He Wan's small kitchen was suddenly filled with food.

These days, everyone was busy with their own work. Zhang Cuicao and Su Ranran were making soybean paste at home, and the rest went up the mountain to stock up on mountain products. It is also very important to stock up on products at this time.

Chen Qing couldn't help in the yard, so he followed them to the mountains.

It was just that she met Li Erniu, who insisted on helping her with the work during the autumn harvest in the mountains.

Now in the mountains, he stopped Chen Qing and asked her if she wanted to be his partner.

"Chen Zhiqing, there are eight people in my family, four of whom are able-bodied men, my father, my eldest brother, my second brother, my third brother, my mother and my eldest sister-in-law are also very capable. My second sister-in-law is a little lazy, but she cooks delicious food. If you come to my house, I will definitely not let you go hungry. I will talk to my mother and she will not let you go to work. You can help my second sister-in-law cook at home. Don't worry, even if you don't work in our family, we still have surplus food every year, and we can share more than a hundred yuan, which we can't spend all."

After Li Erniu finished speaking, he smiled naively, thinking that what he said was good and any female comrade who heard it would be happy to marry him. If it weren't for his high standards, his family would have arranged for him to get married long ago.

But Li Erniu forgot that Chen Qing was not a girl from the village. She came from the city and her family conditions were much better than theirs. One hundred yuan was more than her pocket money for three months at home.

At this moment, Chen Qing looked at Li Erniu as if she had eaten a fly. She felt disgusted to be favored by such a man.

"Comrade Li, I don't want to date you, so please don't block me anymore."

The smile on Li Erniu's face froze instantly: "Why?"

"Comrade Li, you have too many family members, too many brothers and sisters-in-law. I don't like it."

Li Erniu didn't understand: "Isn't it good to have more family members? No one in the village dares to bully me. I'm taller and won't starve."

Chen Qing felt like he was talking to a cow and was too lazy to pay attention to him. When he turned around and was about to leave, a few young boys from the village, led by Wei Dong, came out from behind a tree in the distance, laughing and mocking.

He said to Li Erniu, "Erniu, you still don't understand. Chen Zhiqing thinks you have too many brothers in your family. When you marry into the family, you will have a lot of sisters-in-law. Can you protect them?"

Li Erniu's face turned red: "Why can't I?" Li Weidong ignored him and came to Chen Qing with a few brothers and said: "Chen Zhiqing, I am the only son in my family. My three older sisters are all married. I am the pillar of my family. Although there are not many laborers in the family, my father and mother love me and always give me the most leisurely work. Let's be a couple. I promise that when you come to my house, you don't have to do farm work or cook for me..." As he said that, he shyly winked at Chen Qing and said: "You just have to give me a big fat boy."

The younger brother behind him also echoed: "Yes, just give my brother Weidong a son."

"Not interested, go away."

"Hey, Chen Zhiqing, let's talk to you nicely. Why are you so angry? But I like your temper."

Chen Qing saw that he couldn't yell at these shameless people, and that there were not many people nearby. If they refused to leave, he could only leave by himself.

"Hey, don't go. If you don't like Li Erniu, look at me. I have the best family in our village."

"Go away, I'm calling someone."

"What are you yelling for? We didn't do anything to you."

"What are you guys doing?"

Just when several people were harassing Chen Qing, Wang Xiaorong and Li Chunsheng passed by and shouted at them.

When Li Erniu saw someone coming, he ran back and said, "This is none of my business. I didn't stop Chen Zhiqing."

He ran away, and Li Weidong behind him spat, "Li Erniu, you're a coward."

Then he turned to Wang Xiaorong and the other two and said, "Wang Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, we didn't do anything. We just asked Chen Zhiqing if she was willing to be my partner. Since she doesn't agree, forget it. Let's go."

After saying that, he waved to the brothers behind him and turned to go down the mountain.

Wang Xiaorong and Li Chunsheng looked at each other, then looked at Chen Qing with concern and said, "Chen Zhiqing, are you okay?"

Chen Qing shook his head: "It's okay, thank you."

Wang Xiaorong said, "Li Weidong and his friends in the village don't work hard all day long. They just like to hang around in nearby villages. They say they are looking for a partner, but they are actually doing some sneaky things. Be careful when you see them next time."

Li Chunsheng said: "In the future, it is better not to go up the mountain with a female comrade."

Chen Qing nodded: "I'll go back with you."

She said it pitifully, but in fact, if Wang Xiaorong and Li Zhiqing had arrived a little later, she would have gotten the stun gun she exchanged from the space.

After they returned to the educated youth camp, Wang Xiaorong, for the sake of the female educated youth's safety, whispered to Su Ranran, Zhang Cuicao and the others about what had just happened: "It's best for you to have a companion when you go into the mountains, especially He, the educated youth, who is young and wanders around picking grass for pigs every day. From now on, you should go with the children in the village."

He Wan was very grateful for their reminder and nodded seriously: "Thank you, Wang Zhiqing."

"Don't be polite. It's not easy for us to come here from all over the country, especially for you female comrades."

He Wan had never realized before that Wang Xiaorong had such a strong sense of justice, and she gave him a thumbs up from the bottom of her heart.

Xue Zhenzhen at the side snorted softly, "It's her fault. Who made her so high-profile? When she first came to the educated youth center, she bought cabinets and gave candies to the children in the village. She was so generous. She received such big packages from time to time. It would be strange if those guys didn't stare at her. Many families in the village also stared at her.

Have you forgotten Wang Cuihong from two years ago?"

When Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao heard the name Wang Cuihong, their hearts skipped a beat.

Wang Cuihong came a year later than Xue Zhiqing. Her family must have been very wealthy. When she came here, she was wearing a rare blouse and small leather shoes.

He received the package once a month without interruption. Later, he was noticed by Li Tiegun's mother in the village, who wanted to match him up with Wang Tiegun. Naturally, Wang Cuihong looked down on him.

In front of so many people, they were harshly humiliated, making Li Tiegun's family unable to raise their heads, and also making Li Tiegun bear a grudge against them.

He looked for many opportunities and finally caught Wang Cuihong alone and raped her.

Li Tiegun originally thought that if he became her woman, he would force her to marry him, and then take care of her when he brought her home.

As a result, Wang Cuihong reported the case directly to the police and went to the Youth League Office, and Li Tiegun was arrested and sent to labor reform.

Wang Cuihong was also taken back, and the Youth League Office seemed to have compensated her with a job before the matter was settled.

Because of this incident, Dalizhuang has not been rated as a model brigade for several years.

He Wan didn't know about this, so she moved closer to Xue Zhiqing. Xue Zhiqing hesitated for a moment and told her the general idea of ​​the matter.

He Wan sighed, there was no such thing written in the novel.

Li Weidong and his gang of thugs from Dalizhuang couldn't hurt Chen Qing at all.

However, Chen Qing used Li Weidong to harass her.

Yun Shudai uploaded an illustration with the theme of National Day some time ago, because National Day is only half a month away.

A merchant took a fancy to it and bought it for five hundred yuan.

This time, he also took a fancy to the dozen or so photos from her autumn series, and wanted to use them to make a calendar.

Yun Shudai agreed and finally sold them for five hundred yuan each.

She thought this series of illustrations was pretty good, so she planned to draw another series with winter as the theme, and then another series with the Spring Festival. If someone liked her, the money she earned from her illustrations would almost catch up with the cost of participating in a variety show.

There's no way, since she isn't famous yet, as long as her fame increases a little, a million-dollar paycheck will be no problem.

Most of Yun Shudai’s illustrations are found in life, they are very creative and the quality of the paintings is also good, which is why they can be sold at a good price.

I had been thinking I could paint well today, but in less than two hours the director came back and asked everyone to get ready and continue filming.

This has made the makeup artists very busy, as the actors' looks need to be redone.

Because of the director's mood, everyone worked on it for a long time. Yun Shudai's styling was simple. After finishing, she quietly went back to the side, scrolling through her phone while waiting for the leading actors.

Perhaps the director was angry because he knew the reason why Tian Ye was so busy, and because Tian Ye didn't have much time, he had to finish the scene as soon as possible.

Therefore, the shooting progress was very fast in a short period of time, and she, the second female lead, had many scenes today.

Today is a big chapter, and I will update it in the evening. Please vote.
