Seeing that the corn was about to mature and the corn grains were full, the team leader was afraid that people from other villages would come to steal the corn ears, so he organized the strong men in the village to take turns to guard the fields, in two shifts, and there had to be someone on duty at night.

Several people from the educated youth site were also called over. Except for He Wan, the other three girls looked after a piece of land at the foot of the mountain together, while the male educated youth was in charge at night.

Nowadays, it is hot at noon, but it is slowly getting cooler in the morning and evening.

This makes eating more troublesome, but there are two female educated youth in the front yard.

Although the relationship between Ding Shaoling and Xue Zhenzhen is not very good, there are no conflicts between them.

After Su Ranran and the others moved to the backyard.

There is no such thing as a man who doesn't cook.

Wang Jianguo reallocated the people. Wang Jianguo and Ding Shaoling were in one group, Zhang Deping and Xue Zhenzhen were in one group, and Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun were in one group. Now there were only six people in the front yard, and it was easy to cook. Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun could also cook. However, this time they were guarding the cornfield and the male educated youth were catching up on sleep during the day and could not cook.

So they held another meeting and asked Ding Shaoling and Xue Zhenzhen to cook during the day.

However, they only eat the morning meal during the day and do not eat at noon. They want to make up for the sleep. They make a hearty meal in the evening and have another bite in the second half of the night.

Ask Ding Shaoling to make more steamed corn bread in the evening so that they can take it to the fields and eat it at night.

In the backyard, there is no need to say anything about Xie Meihui and her husband. They are just a couple, so there is no need to worry about them.

Wang Xiaorong, Li Zheng and Li Chunsheng asked Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao to help steam some vegetables and steamed bread during the day so that they could eat them in the fields at night.

Zhang Cuicao is deft and a great cook, so she made some steamed buns with wild vegetables.

He Wan had recently dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains and contributed them to them, and suggested making more wild vegetable and mushroom buns.

Wang Xiaorong and the other two felt quite embarrassed. When they, the new educated youth, came here before, they had some small thoughts, but now they saw how generous He Wan was.

Later, the vegetable dumplings that were made were given two or four to Su Ranran and her friends, and four to He Wan.

He Wan had asked Aunt Juhua for some leek roots some time ago and gave some to Zhang Cuicao and the others. Zhang Cuicao saw that the leeks were growing vigorously, so she made some leek dumplings today.

When Liang Shurui was on duty at night, I went to give him one on purpose.

Seeing that Liang Shurui did not refuse, she served him a lot more thick food when cooking the next morning and quietly helped him wash the dishes.

This afternoon, Su Ranran asked Zhang Cuicao to come back early to cook. Zhang Cuicao saw Liang Shurui's clothes soaking by the well and took the initiative to help him wash them.

When Liang Shurui woke up in the afternoon and saw the clothes on the rope, he felt something was wrong.

After dinner, Liang Shurui called Zhang Cuicao to a remote place and told her not to do this again in the future as it would cause misunderstanding if others saw her.

Zhang Cuicao blushed, pinching the hem of her clothes with both hands, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Liang Zhiqing, I like you, can we be a couple?"

As soon as these words came out, before Liang Shurui could reply, they heard a "pop" sound not far away. They turned around and saw that it was Chen Qing who had followed them.

Zhang Cuicao was annoyed and angry when she saw Chen Qing. She said, "It turns out that Chen Zhiqing has a hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. I have to go to the village tomorrow to promote you."

Chen Qing said with more sarcasm on his face: "How come only you, Zhang Cuicao, can express your feelings, but I, Chen Qing, can't? You are so old, yet you are so shameless."

"Who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you. You're twenty-one, right? Do you know how old Liang Zhiqing is? She's only eighteen. It's shameless to say that a woman one year older than you is not a wife. What's more, she's so much older than you. She's already old."

Zhang Cuicao pointed at Chen Qing and said, "Chen Qing, curse again."

"Shame on you, what's wrong with me scolding you?"

Zhang Cuicao doesn’t talk much on weekdays, but she is not made of clay. If she can endure it after hearing these words, she is not Zhang Cuicao.

Liang Shurui and Zhang Cuicao were talking in the backyard of the educated youth. Now that they were arguing, everyone in the front yard or the back yard could hear it.
