"Hurry up, everyone, get up! We'll be late for work!"
Lin Qiqi closed her eyes and muttered, "Ah, what time do we have to get up? It's not even daybreak yet!"
Su Xiaomei said anxiously, "Don't sleep anymore. This is your first day at work, you absolutely can't be late!"
Xu Wanning had no choice but to force herself to get up from bed and drag Lin Qiqi out of bed. They quickly got dressed, washed their faces, and brushed their teeth.
Song Sirou and Li Xiaoyun's group cooked breakfast, each of them had a cornmeal steamed bun and some vegetable porridge as clear as water.
Xu Wanning couldn't eat a single bite, so she could only pick up a cornmeal steamed bun and stuff it into her mouth. There was some black flour mixed in the bun, and it made her throat hurt when she swallowed it...
This was too disgusting. Xu Wanning couldn't eat it anymore, so she had to pour the wild vegetable porridge to Su Xiaomei. Then she turned around and went into the house. She took out the lunch box of fat and lean braised pork that Xu's mother had brought him yesterday, and shared it with Lin Qiqi and the others...
Lin Qiqi pouted: "Wow, Wan Ning, Auntie's braised pork is so delicious. The rice that Song Sirou and Li Xiaoyun cooked just now was so disgusting!"
"It's like eating pig food. It's so disgusting..."
Xu Wanning smiled helplessly: "There's nothing we can do. After finishing this box of braised pork, we can only eat wild vegetable porridge."
Lin Qiqi looked puzzled: "Why? Wan Ning, can't we just team up on our own?"
Xu Wanning frowned, "Qiqi, we have to move out first so we can cook for ourselves. If you really can't eat anymore, you can think of renting a house from the villagers."
Xu Wanning patiently advised Lin Qiqi to be patient. It would definitely be inappropriate to move out right after moving in.
Lin Qiqi bit her lip: "Okay then!"
Bang, bang, bang…
There was a sound of gongs outside...
"Hurry up and gather at the village entrance. The team leader is beating the gong, which means we're all gathered together to assign tasks for today."
While explaining, Su Xiaomei pulled Xu Wanning and the others and quickly walked towards the village entrance.
Arriving at the village entrance, a group of villagers were already there waiting to be assigned tasks. The team leader introduced them one by one, and then began to assign tasks for today...
"You old educated youth, follow Zhao Erniu to weed the fields."
"Wang Dahua, take these new girls with you to pick grass for the pigs!"
The old educated youth were assigned to weed the wheat fields, and the new female educated youth were assigned to pick grass for pigs with the elderly and children in the village. Picking grass for pigs was the easiest job in the village, and it was usually given to the young children or the elderly in the village. Because the work points were too low, few people were willing to do it.
Xu Wanning smiled and said, "Hello, Aunt Wang. I'm Xu Wanning."
Lin Qiqi: "Aunt Wang, I'm Lin Qiqi."
Liu Yiyi: "Aunt Wang, I, I love Liu Yiyi"
"Okay, okay, kids, come with me!"
Afterwards, Aunt Wang brought them to the foot of the mountain. Aunt Wang warned everyone not to go deep into the mountains, as the mountains were covered with jungles and usually only a few hunters dared to try their luck in the mountains. She also told them which ones were pig grass and which ones could not be fed to pigs. If they picked the wrong ones, the pigs would get sick if they ate them.
After a while, everyone started to cut grass for pigs skillfully, and around noon, everyone went down the mountain carrying baskets of pig grass.
At noon, Xu Wanning and Lin Qiqi had to go to the educated youth camp to prepare lunch in advance. As a good cook cannot cook without rice, there were no cooking seasonings in the educated youth camp, so when they were on the mountain just now, Xu Wanning specially picked some wild Sichuan peppercorns to use for cooking.
