“Ding, ding, ding.”
I slept for a really long time, nearly 10 hours in the space, and then slept for more than an hour after coming out.
But after a good sleep, I feel really comfortable and refreshed.
Change clothes, brush teeth, wash face, and comb hair.
He took out two buns from the space and made a cup of malted milk.
After eating, we signed in before going out, and got 20 big unity tickets, 100 stainless steel basins, and 100 kilograms of cotton.
It's definitely my favorite system.
Today Xu Manman's work is still weeding and catching insects, while Liu Hua has changed his job - picking grass for pigs.
No matter how envious I was, I could only continue to do my job. I went home from work at noon, cooked a pot of corn grits and mixed it with wild vegetables, and secretly added braised pork, green peppers and eggs to the bottom of the bowl. I smelled it, and there was still a little smell, so I could only close the door and eat it.
Although I always eat meat in the space, it tastes better if I eat it secretly like this.

I was pulling weeds in the afternoon.
"Xu Zhiqing, Xu Zhiqing, Xu Manman Zhiqing."
Xu Manman turned around and saw a familiar-looking child whom she had seen at the village entrance, but she didn't know who he was from.
"What's wrong, kid?"
The child sniffed and replied, "Someone's looking for you at the educated youth site."
"What's your name? Did the person who came say who you are?" Xu Manman took out a piece of fruit candy from his trouser pocket and handed it to him, "Eat it."
The child carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, took out the candy first, and licked the candy wrapper with his tongue. While licking, he replied seriously, "My name is Goudan. That person said he is your brother. He is tall and big."
Xu Manman nodded, "I see. Thank you. I'll be there as soon as I get my leave. You go back first."
The child turned and ran away with the candy in his mouth.
Xu Manman had an idea in her mind. It should be her cousin from the next village. She was thinking about going to see him when she had time, but she didn't expect him to come today.
Xu Manman asked for leave from the team leader Liu Zumin. Liu Zumin didn't say anything, just recorded the three work points she had earned that day, and waved goodbye to let her go.
Xu Manman ran back to the educated youth site and saw a young man with a shaved head, a blue top, and gray pants standing at the entrance of the site with a large bamboo basket at his feet.
"Cousin!" Xu Manman was very excited to see her relatives.
"Manman!" Chen Ming was also very excited. The two siblings had a good relationship since childhood.
Xu Manman opened the gate, took her cousin back to her room, and took out a chair for him to sit on.
Chen Ming looked around the room and asked, "Are you living alone?"
"Well, you know me. I'm not used to sleeping with others. I want to live alone in peace and quiet."
"That's fine. The yard at your educated youth camp is big and there are many houses. It's nice to live alone." As he said this, he stood up and checked the doors and windows.
Chen Ming took another look at the stove, where there were still traces of the fire from cooking at noon.
"You also started a fire on your own? Cooking for yourself?"
Xu Manman blinked her big eyes and said, "Yes, my cooking is delicious now."
Chen Ming didn't believe a word of what his cousin said about her cooking skills. He resisted the urge to refute her and changed the subject.
"I was planning to come over on the day you went to the countryside, but we were pulled over to repair the road, which delayed us for a few days. I only got a day off today to come over."
"Building roads must be hard work, cousin. You are too thin now. I brought a lot of malted milk. I'll get it for you." As he said that, he was about to take something out of the cabinet.
Chen Ming quickly stopped him, "Don't worry, keep all that for yourself. I'm fine. I've finished the road repair mission. It'll only take a couple of days."
"Nonsense! I heard from the old educated youth that the corn harvest will start in a few days, and it will be even more tiring then. How can you have time to relax? Don't treat me like a child."
Xu Manman really felt sorry for his cousin. The last time they met was before he went to the countryside last year. Although he was not fat, he was at least in good health. Unlike now, he was so thin that his bones were visible. He was so tall that he looked like a bamboo pole, and his clothes were so loose.
Xu Manman's eyes were red.
"Hey, Manman, don't cry. Your cousin really didn't lie to you." Chen Ming looked at his little cousin who was about to cry, and suddenly he panicked.
