Chen Qing had just opened his mouth to say a few words when He Wan responded with so many words. Seeing that she didn't save face for him, he didn't need to be polite to her. He smiled and said, "Of course, I will definitely study hard. I saw that you lost your money on the train, and now you must be short of money and tickets. I was thinking, can you help me cook during this period? I can give you money, two dollars a month."

As soon as Chen Qing said this, everyone looked at the two of them.

They originally thought that He Wan would agree to the temptation of two yuan, but the next second they saw He Wan shook her head and said calmly: "Who said I was short of money or tickets? I lost my money, but I can't survive by working for you. Chen Zhiqing, let me remind you that we are here to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants and to build the country, not capitalism."

Humph, don't even think about bullying her in the real world, let alone here. In the book, He Wan was submissive and actually helped Chen Qing for money.

She was not the submissive He Wan. With her strong character, she naturally could not give in to Chen Qing for the sake of two dollars, even if she had to eat coarse food.

However, He Wan's words made Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao believe it a little. They all knew that there were many thieves when they were away from home, and it was impossible to put all the money together, otherwise how could He Wan's certificate of going to the countryside not be stolen.

Thinking about the fact that she went to the county at noon today, Chen Qing almost believed that He Wan still had money on her.

After He Wan finished speaking, she took the wash basin and walked back. Seeing He Wan leaving, Chen Qing explained to save face, "I didn't mean that. You can't say that. I thought Comrade He had no money on her, and I was afraid she would be embarrassed if I asked her for money directly, so I thought of using this method to give her some money, but she didn't appreciate it."

Su Ranran listened to Chen Qing's words, turned her head away and said nothing.

Zhang Cuicao was originally a quiet person, so what Chen Qing said was almost like explaining to the air. With an embarrassed look on her face, she went straight into the house and lay down in bed.

The other people all had their own plans in mind. If someone like Chen Qing showed off his wealth and was high-profile, normally something would happen.

Compared with the female educated youth, the male educated youth had a bigger problem.

Zhang Jianjun looked at the kang in the room, which was so crowded that there was no room for a quilt, and frowned, saying, "Captain, it's too crowded to sleep at night. We need to think of a solution." Wang Xiaorong and Li Zheng also echoed, "Yes, I can't even turn over at night. I'm already very tired after working all day, and now I can't rest well at night. It's even more uncomfortable. Anyway, I can't stand it."

Qin Xuxiang said, "Jianguo, why don't you go and discuss with the captain to see if there is any solution."

Wang Jianguo naturally knew that he would feel uncomfortable if he couldn't sleep at night.

The female educated youth also said they couldn't sleep.

So Wang Jianguo went to the captain's house and raised the housing issue.

The captain couldn't make the decision himself and said he would hold a meeting with the team to discuss it in the next few days.

He Wan got up before dawn the next day because it was her turn to cook.

The educated youth ordered meals for fifteen people, and some of them had a hard time controlling the amounts. On the first day, they saw Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao cook for them. Each person had a certain amount of food, and in the morning the porridge was the thinnest it could be. At least there was a steamed corn bread and some cold vegetables.

Now we are loosening the soil and tidying the ground every day. In a week, we will have to plow the land and so on.

I guess I could have some noodles or rice for lunch at that time.

The original owner was thin to begin with, and now by eating these, she can lose several pounds in a few days without having to go on a diet.
