After Lin Xiaoxiao and the others arrived at the threshing ground, they prepared to collect their tools and go to work together.
Everything that needed to be planted in the village had been planted; all that was left was weeding and fertilizing.
This time, she and Wang Chunhua were assigned to the weeding team together.
After receiving the tools, the two of them went into the field.
When they arrived at the field, they happened to be in the same team as Li Mei, and the three of them chatted while working.
This job isn't tiring, it's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Li Mei got up and wiped her sweat.
She couldn't help but say, "Lin Xiaoxiao, you've been working here for a while now, and you seem to have changed quite a bit. You've gotten fairer and gained weight."
Wang Chunhua also came over, staring intently at Lin Xiaoxiao's face: "How come your skin is so good? I'm so envious."
"Yes, I can't help but look at her face now, she's beautiful."
"After seeing it, I felt a sense of relief."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Really? So you guys already knew I was good-looking?"
Wang Chunhua nodded in agreement: "The moment I saw you, I thought you were beautiful, really."
The current aesthetic is that people like round faces, round eyes, and big butts, believing that this is a sign of good fortune.
Lin Xiaoxiao has beautiful features, but she's too thin, which most people can't appreciate.
Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled upon hearing this and explained with a smile, "The air and water here are good, so my appetite is good too."
"It's easy to gain weight, and when you're healthy, your complexion will be better."
“You should learn from me and bring a piece of cloth to work so you won’t get sunburned.”
She knew in her heart that this was all thanks to the spiritual spring water. Since being nourished by the spiritual spring water, not only was her body healthier, but her skin had also improved. Moreover, she had grown a centimeter taller without realizing it, and her weight had increased to about 166.85 jin (78.9 catties).
She knew these changes would inevitably attract attention, so she could only try to make up for it.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, while Sun Yue, who was quite a distance away, looked very unhappy.
She's been in Wangjia Village for so long, and even if she doesn't want to, she has to work. She's been pampered since childhood, and she can't stand hardship when it comes to work. She'll just have to endure the hardship.
Now my hands are covered in blisters and calluses; they look awful.
We work so hard, but we only get two or three work points each time.
Zhao Xiaojun was slightly better off, but he was also someone who couldn't endure hardship. The two of them earned fewer work points than others, and in the end, they probably wouldn't receive much in subsidies or grain.
Fortunately, my family gave me a lot of money before I went to the countryside.
Otherwise, the two of them would starve to death on this alone.
Even though they have money, they are still worried.
Since arriving here, their family has stopped sending things and money. If they don't send anything soon, they'll have to lower their living standards.
Like other educated youth, they ate coarse grains that were hard to swallow and pickled vegetables every day.
They had already spent 70 yuan a few days ago to move into a place near the former educated youth compound, intending to live alone, but their spare money wouldn't last long.
After building the house, you'll need to buy some furniture, which will cost you another sum of money.
Sun Yue saw Lin Xiaoxiao not far away, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.
Why is it that, despite both being sent-down youth, Lin Xiaoxiao can rent such a nice house while I have to spend so much money to build my own?
None of the people here are good people.
Of course, the worst one was Lin Xiaoxiao.
While working, Lin Xiaoxiao keenly sensed a gaze. She quickly turned her head and saw the malice in Sun Yue's eyes.
She raised an eyebrow. So much had happened recently that she had almost forgotten there was such a peculiar person in the educated youth compound.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, let her run wild for a few days first, and then find an opportunity to let Sun Yue experience the real hardships of life.
After this incident, Lin Xiaoxiao continued with her work.
Sun Yue wasn't the only one who heard their conversation; the older woman and auntie standing nearby also heard it.
The aunt and older woman next to her looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's face.
It's true, everyone else gets older as they work, but Lin, the educated youth, became more attractive after going to the countryside.
Many people were genuinely tempted; what if this happened in their own homes...?
An aunt named Wang Xiaofeng darted around with her eyes and nudged Wu Xia, who was standing next to her, with her elbow, saying, "Hey, you know, this Lin Zhiqing looks thin. Although he's good at archery, he still lives alone in a courtyard."
"It's too dangerous for a girl to be alone. A good girl like her should have a man in her family to protect her."
"Once I get married, my life will be different from what I am now."
Aunt Wu Xia frowned upon hearing this, thinking that Da Bo's mother was simply being delusional.
This Lin Zhiqing is clearly capable of living a good life on her own. Not to mention she's strong, she's also a great archer. Even without those qualities, the village head would still take care of her. Why would she need a man to protect her now?
She looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with great concern.
Many people in the village are now thinking the same thing, and are worried that Lin Zhiqing will be deceived by these people.
Wu Xia couldn't help but say, "Whether she can live well on her own is none of your business. If you're worried, send her some food and money, and she'll be better off." But she couldn't see what Wang Xiaofeng was up to.
It's really annoying when people can't see the situation clearly.
Wang Xiaofeng was displeased: "How dare you talk like that? I just think Lin Zhiqing is a good person, isn't this just me being considerate of her?"
"Also, what's the point of a young woman living alone all the time? If you're a woman, you should get married. Those educated youths are so arrogant. Now that they've come here, they're part of Wangjia Village."
