That's a lot...
Jiang Wenwan touched her face and said:
"Perhaps she was incredibly beautiful, with a face that could shame the moon and flowers, and must have saved the country in her past life!"
Zhu Xiaomin stared wide-eyed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.
Are there really people in the world that good-looking?
Jiang Wenwan chuckled and moved closer to her.
Do you think I'm pretty?
"It's beautiful!"
Zhu Xiaomin replied without hesitation that Jiang Zhiqing was indeed good-looking, and that she was somewhat of a looks-obsessed person.
When Jiang Zhiqing first arrived, she was pale and thin. Although she had handsome features, she didn't look as fair and plump as she does now.
So how many rabbits and pheasants did Jiang Zhiqing eat in just over a month to be so well-nourished?
Jiang Wenwan smiled as she listened to her casual remark.
"I think you're quite pretty too. His boyfriend is probably just like us. Oh, stop thinking about it. Tell me about your fiancé. What does he look like?"
Zhu Xiaomin blushed immediately.
"Oh, how annoying! He's not as tall as Zhou Zhiqing, and he doesn't seem as good-looking either, but he's so nice to me."
He was originally supposed to come with me to the countryside this time, but unfortunately, he and his family helped our family a lot.
"Hey, are you going to save that lynx pelt for your boyfriend?"
Jiang Wenwan glanced at her sideways.
"Don't even think about taking my leather; I intend to wear it myself."
Being good to yourself is better than being good to others!
Zhu Xiaomin wrinkled her nose.
"You see things too clearly, girl!"
So, are you going to meet your partner this Chinese New Year?
"Look at what he looks like!"
Jiang Wenwan immediately told her to leave, saying that this girl was even more gossipy than she was.
"Go on, go do what you're supposed to do. We're planting corn tomorrow. You'd better go back and make a headscarf, or you'll get sunburned."
"Oh right, I'd better get ready right away."
When the women here go to work in the fields, they like to use a square piece of cloth, fold it in half to form a triangle, cover their heads with it, and tie the two corners to their chins.
This kind of headscarf can block dust and protect against the sun. There are also special stores that sell this kind of headscarf, and the material is breathable.
She had already prepared one in advance.
The next morning, after washing up, the educated youth settlement was bustling with activity.
After learning that Zhou Yunting had a girlfriend, Tan Yumiao stopped paying attention to him.
This made Jiang Wenwan think more highly of her.
While washing up, Zhou Yunting glanced over every now and then, thinking that since he had already confessed everything, she shouldn't still be angry, right?
Jiang Wenwan glanced at him as if she sensed something, then rolled her eyes.
After everyone washed up, it was time to cook.
On their side, the male educated youth used to have Tan Yumiao, Feng Chunzao, and Hu Qinghua take turns cooking in pairs.
Now that Feng Chunzao has married and left, Tan Yumiao and Hu Qinghua cook together.
And if she had to cook for eight men, tsk tsk, Jiang Wenwan was speechless just thinking about it.
The only advantage is that if each of the eight people contributes a little food, it will be enough for the two of them for a month.
This way, they can store the grain distributed by the higher authorities.
Jiang Zhiqing only found out later.
But washing clothes was a different story. Before she came, the two of them were forced to wash their clothes for free.
After Jiang Wenwan arrived, Tan Yumiao and Feng Chunzao also became more assertive and stopped washing their clothes.
When Tan Yumiao and the others are cooking, they call out to Zhou Yunting and Wu Weiguo.
"Zhou Zhiqing, how are you two going to eat?"
"Are you going to give us some food, and we'll cook what we've given you too, or are you going to cook your own food?"
Zhou Yunting looked at Jiang Wenwan and thought that it wouldn't be good to rush over and suggest eating with her.
He responded and agreed to eat together.
Jiang Wenwan usually drinks malted milk powder, eats two eggs, heats up a steamed bun (the steamed buns here are not ordinary, she and Zhu Xiaomin each have one), and stir-fries some bok choy.
Occasionally, I'll make a steamed bun with an egg and stir-fried soybean paste, and then add a scallion cut in half.
Anyway, I absolutely need to drink two cups of malted milk powder every morning and evening.
And she still has three cans left!
She glanced over and saw that Zhou Yunting had agreed. She didn't say anything. She had a boyfriend and wanted to keep her distance from the male educated youth!
Thinking about this, after distributing the farm tools today, the team leader assigned them to a group.
Planting corn in the fields was a task that the brigade leader had mentioned before, and it was something we all had to do.
Jiang Wenwan and Zhou Yunting were assigned to plant corn together.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhou Yunting tried hard to suppress the smile on his lips.
"Jiang Zhiqing, I'm new here and there may be things I've done wrong. Please point them out to me."
Jiang Wenwan saw a smile in his eyes as he spoke, but still gave him a disgruntled glare.
She didn't pretentiously refuse to team up with him.
To others, their relationship was just that of ordinary educated youth sent to the countryside.
Zhou Yunting held the hoe that had been given to him and dug a small hole in the ridge. Jiang Wenwan was responsible for planting three, four or five corn kernels in the hole.
Generally, it should be around four seeds; if there are fewer, they might not even sprout in the ground.
Too many is also not good, so it can't exceed five; three or four is just right.
Anyway, after these corn seedlings sprout, we still have to pick them up; it's survival of the fittest.
Just leave the best ear of corn to grow.
Looking back now, isn't this just a small social phenomenon?
"Jiang Zhiqing, are you tired? If you are, take a rest. I'll come back and plant after I finish digging the hole."
Jiang Wenwan was both amused and annoyed by Zhou Yunting's words.
She felt she wasn't planting too slowly. Zhou Yunting would dig a hole, and she would grab a handful of corn kernels in her hand, letting 3-4 kernels peek out from between her fingers at a time. She could easily keep up with him.
Then he dug faster and faster, and Jiang Wenwan planted faster and faster.
"I'm not tired!"
She finished speaking through gritted teeth, then realized what he meant and understood that he wanted to dig the hole quickly so he could come back and help her plant it.
Didn't expect her to keep up with his speed?
It's both infuriating and hilarious; she hates teammates more than anything, both of her lives combined.
"Zhou Zhiqing, can't you just say what you have to say earlier?"
Zhou Yunting thought about how their speed had improved by leaps and bounds just now, and now he saw that they were already far ahead of everyone else.
He felt a little embarrassed, just as Jiang Wenwan had said, he should have made it clear beforehand.
“Jiang Zhiqing, I apologize. You rest and take your time. Leave the rest to me.”
As he spoke, he quickly dug holes, one after another, until they were far enough out that he ran back to take the corn bag from Jiang Wenwan's hand and helped her with the corn planting work.
Jiang Wenwan was speechless at his reaction, but she pursed her lips and smiled.
This man is really something. Although she never had a relationship in her previous life, she watched a lot of TV.
Comparing the people around him in his past life with those around him now, Zhou Dunzi's performance is acceptable!
"Hey, you don't need to work so hard and go so fast. Just see if others are working at a similar speed."
