"No, there's only one autumn harvest a year, and no one can take leave. If it rains and the grain isn't harvested on time, it will get soaked in the fields, and all of our hard work for the year will be wasted. In that case, everyone will get less grain, and we'll be the ones who suffer."
Du Yinan didn't care about the small amount of grain she was allocated because her parents in the city sent her things and money.
"Sister Ruyi, I don't need any more food. I'll buy my own. Can I rest instead?"
"That won't do either. Now that we're here, we're part of this brigade, and we absolutely can't be treated specially. This is the brigade leader's order, and it's the same every autumn harvest. No one is allowed to take leave unless absolutely necessary. You think you're the only one who's tired? Everyone is tired, and we have to grit our teeth and persevere."
Du Yinan couldn't avoid it, so she reluctantly got out of bed.
Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian took their sickles to the field, but unexpectedly, the team leader assigned them to the same plot of land as Aunt Hu and Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hu and Aunt Hua didn't look down on them at all. At least these two novices wouldn't hold them back. If they became more skilled today, they might even be able to help them.
Aunt Hu decided that she wouldn't work separately from Luo Jingyan and her brother today. If they dared to slack off, she would tell the team leader.
At the speed of those two siblings, the two older women could benefit from it.
As soon as Luo Jingyan saw Aunt Hu, she immediately went over and took Aunt Hu's hand.
"Thank goodness, we're finally working with you and Auntie again. Oh dear, we were exhausted from harvesting wheat all day yesterday, and we could barely get out of bed this morning. When we came here, I was worried that we'd have to find someone else to work with us today, but I feel much more at ease if it's you two. Xiaotian and I definitely won't be able to harvest much today, Auntie, please don't work separately from me today, you'll definitely help us, right?"
This made Aunt Hu feel uneasy, and she was determined to separate her land from Luo Jingyan's.
Even if we can't benefit from those two young educated youths, we can't let them benefit from our own.
Points, we must get points, we must get points, we have no choice but to get points.
They divided it in half on each side, just like yesterday.
Aunt Hu saw the team leader not far away and quickly went to call him, telling him that Luo Jingyan and her brother had agreed to work separately from the two old ladies. The team leader had asked Luo Jingyan and then agreed.
Today, Lin Shanshan and Du Yinan were cooking at the educated youth settlement. While Du Yinan was away, Lin Shanshan secretly put poison into Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian's large tea mug.
When Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian returned, dinner was already prepared—a table full of culinary disasters. The educated youth shook their heads at the sight, as they hadn't seen such food in a long time. No matter how pampered city girls were, they should at least have some cooking experience, but these two were clearly clueless about cooking. Helpless, Shen Ruyi gave Du Yinan and Lin Shanshan some cooking advice, telling them to be more careful next time.
As soon as Luo Jingyan got back, she took the large tea mug she used for eating to wash it. It was a habit of hers to wash the tableware before every meal.
Under her guidance, Luo Changtian also developed the habit of washing the tableware.
Lin Shanshan didn't know if the poison in the teacup could be washed away, and she was annoyed by Luo Jingyan's cunning.
This method won't work; we'll have to think of other ways.
Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian usually avoided her, so she couldn't directly apply the poison to their bodies. She could only try applying it to the blankets, hoping it would be effective.
After the food was served, the educated youth only ate a little because it was so unpalatable. Liu Huifang scoffed, "It's such a waste of food."
After the meal, the other educated youths went to the fields, while she and Du Yinan stayed behind to clean up. Before leaving, she told Du Yinan that she had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, so she asked Du Yinan to go first.
Unable to reach the boys' dormitory, she smeared the medicine inside Luo Jingyan's blanket.
When Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian went to the fields, they each ate an apple to fill their stomachs.
When they got to the fields, they worked slowly in the morning, but they sped up considerably by the late afternoon, afraid that they wouldn't be able to finish by the afternoon.
As a result, before noon, they had overtaken Aunt Hu and Aunt Hua by a large margin and finished work earlier than them once again.
Aunt Hu and Aunt Hua were both stunned. Aunt Hu said, "They're pretty fast."
Aunt Hua said, "Whether it's fast or slow has nothing to do with us. It's your fault for insisting on splitting up those two people. If they work faster, they can finish work earlier."
Aunt Hu regretted it and decided to team up with Luo Jingyan again.
At noon, the food that Du Yinan and Lin Shanshan cooked was better than the food they made in the morning, and it was finally edible.
Li Hongying, from the Peach Blossom Brigade next to the Victory Brigade, collapsed in the field from exhaustion. When she woke up, she found herself to be different from before.
I don't know if she has already died once, but God took pity on her and gave her a cheat code: the Plunder Space System.
Through this system, and with a few more tricks, she could turn other people's personal space into her own.
She also discovered that she was living in a book. In the original book, her parents sent her uncle and aunt to the countryside, her cousin died, and her younger cousin was also sent to the countryside by her mother to become an educated youth. At a young age, he suffered a lot.
She should be living in the big house left by her uncle and aunt in the city now.
Later, her father gradually changed his ways and became more responsible. With the help of her uncle, he became a leader in the factory. She married a wealthy man and lived a life of luxury.
Her uncle, aunt, and cousin enjoyed a period of prosperity after returning to the city, but they all died tragically, and their family's fate was extremely miserable.
