Chapter 78 The Years of Educated Youths in the Countryside



"Oh, I see."

"Yes, in order to avoid Li Hexing's tragic ending, you have to be nice to him, care about him, and make him full of hope for life instead of letting him become depressed. Thank you for your hard work, Yanyan."

"Care about him." Chu Yanyan raised his chin and muttered to himself. He looked at the white mosquito net above him, and all he saw through the white cloth was darkness.

I'd better find a good piece of land to sow carrot seeds in my free time tomorrow.

I really want to eat carrots.

quack.

He yawned a few times, rubbed his eyes, and finally lay down on the bed after a busy day. Unable to resist the sleepiness, his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, he fell asleep and entered the dreamland while smelling the air mixed with the smell of soil.

A dreamless night.

The next day, Chu Yanyan was awakened by a knock on the door and the system's mumbling voice in his ear.

He opened his eyelids and looked at the pitch-black room around him: "Xiao Qi, it's not even daybreak yet, why are you calling me up?"

Xiao Qi replied, "No, it wasn't someone outside calling you. You didn't answer, so I acted as an alarm clock to wake you up. Hurry up, your friends from the village have been waiting outside for a long time."

Oh, why are you here so early?

Chu Yanyan took away the thin blanket and shouted outside: "I know!" So don't knock anymore.

As he responded, the people outside quieted down: "Okay, get up quickly."

Chu Yanyan got out of bed, put on pants, a bleached green shirt, and a pair of green cloth shoes, walked to the suitcase, picked up toothpaste powder, a toothbrush, and a water cup, and pulled the wooden bar that tied the door to the side.

I opened it and walked out, turned my head and saw Jiang Tiantian and the others playing with a three-year-old kid and chatting with Aunt Eighteen.

"Auntie, you only have one child?"

"No, the eldest child went to work with his father, the second child is in the first grade at Zhushi Primary School. And the third child is three years old. These three children are all boys." Aunt Eighteen's voice came.

"Wow! Auntie, you have three children, and they are all boys?" Jiang Tiantian's exclamation came.

Liang Cuiying responded, "I didn't expect they were all boys."

"That's quite happy." Jiang Tiantian put the boy down and looked up to see Chu Yanyan.

"Comrade Yanyan, you're finally up... Don't worry, Uncle Li said we don't have to work today, so let's get familiar with the environment first."

Chu Yanyan nodded, with foam in her mouth and unable to speak.

Liang Cuiying looked at the white foam in Chu Yanyan's mouth with a shocked expression: "Comrade Chu, what happened to him?"

Zhang Na looked in the direction she pointed, burst out laughing, and explained, "Chu Zhiqing is brushing his teeth."

"Why are you foaming at the mouth when brushing your teeth?"

Jiang Tiantian explained: "That's because the toothpaste powder used for brushing teeth will produce white foam when it rubs against water. After brushing a few times, just rinse with water and spit out the white foam. Brushing your teeth is good for your teeth and can clean the dirty residue in your teeth."

Liang Cuiying didn't quite understand what he said, but after hearing the last part, she understood a little: "Where can I buy this kind of thing? Is it expensive? I want to try it too."

"They're available in town, and they're quite cheap. You can buy a big bag for just a few dimes. We bought them in town before we came here. We'll take you to town to buy them some other day when we have time."

Liang Cuiying smiled shyly: "When the market comes, I can ask your Eighteenth Uncle to go to the town to buy it."

"Oh." Jiang Tiantian changed the subject and asked about other trivial matters.

Chu Yanyan spent a few minutes brushing his teeth and washing his face, which was a must-do in the morning. He wiped his face and walked towards his friends.

Seeing that Chu Yanyan had finished washing, Liang Cuiying picked up the cold sweet potato porridge next to her and said, "Come and have some sweet potato porridge."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Chu Yanyan picked up the bowl and walked over. Today's breakfast was sweet potato porridge, with chunks of sweet potato piled in it. When the chopsticks poked into it, it was incredibly soft and crispy. There were a lot of sweet potatoes, but not much rice, so you could clearly count them.

But Chu Yanyan doesn't like eating rice, so for him, it is simply a delicious breakfast.

During this period, the rice harvested twice a year was collected by the commune, which then combined the rice and handed it over to the state. After each harvest, each household received only 100 to 200 kilograms of rice.

For large farming families, they would eat rice if they could avoid it, and use the abundant sweet potatoes and potatoes as coarse grains to fill their stomachs.
