When the snow starts to fall, we will officially start hibernating. In order to have a better winter, it is necessary to store more firewood.
Moreover, the educated youth who had just gone to the countryside did not have leave to visit their families, so they were destined to stay here for the New Year this year. This meant that they had to spend several months of the university's freezing period here, and they had to prepare a lot of supplies.
So these days, in addition to the urgent need to collect firewood, the villagers are also busy planting winter wheat, which is the last work before hibernation.
The north is different from the south, it's very dry. So I need to drink plenty of water every day. When I work, I'm exposed to the wind for a long time, and my face feels a bit dry. I spend more time than usual on my skincare at night.
Xu Manman still has foundation on her face as a disguise. The color is so dark. She basically refers to Liu Hua's skin tone. She loves beauty, but at this time, being too beautiful is not a good thing.
She had no other way to protect herself except for a space where she could not be exposed to others. Although her family conditions were good, just slightly better than those of ordinary people, the mountains were high and the waters were far away. Although her eldest cousin lived nearby, he was also a young man who had just reached adulthood.
Since we have to keep a low profile, we have to keep a low profile.
Looking at the pink bubbles of Liu Hua and Li Xiao every day, she has no idea of falling in love. After the college entrance examination in the winter of the following year, she will leave here. There is no need to leave so many ties for herself.
Therefore, when she interacted with Zhang Yuan, Zhan Tianqi and others, she would always maintain an appropriate degree and distance.
According to her observation, besides the couple in front of her, there were obviously many other people with ideas at the educated youth site.
Wan Fang and Li Mao from the big kitchen are much more reserved and don't communicate much overtly. However, she is not eating with the big kitchen staff now, so she doesn't know the specific situation.
She discovered the clues when she came out of the bathroom to wash clothes that day and saw Wan Fang washing Li Mao's pants by the well.
How did she tell that boys' pants are all similar in color and style?
People nowadays will not throw away their clothes just because they are old. Even if they are worn out, they will patch them up and continue to wear them. They will not be willing to throw them away even if they are badly torn.
The situation at the educated youth site is better. Although the clothes of the new educated youth are not new, they are free of patches. Xu Manman is also wearing old clothes now, and her new clothes are kept at the bottom of the box to keep a low profile.
The three old educated youth who rented houses had a situation similar to that of the new educated youth, which shows that their family conditions were all pretty good.
The conditions in the big kitchen were a little worse, and the clothes generally had patches on them. Among the boys, Li Mao was in a relatively better situation, but only slightly better, as evidenced by the fact that there were only 2-3 patches on his pants.
So, she could tell at a glance that it was Li Mao's pants by the number of patches.
She didn't want to be so gossipy in the first place, but the situation was right in front of her. Even in the 21st century, it was strange for a single girl to wash clothes for a boy, let alone now.
She didn't gossip in front of others, but just observed secretly. After a long time, she noticed something unusual.
Although the two don't communicate much in public, and even if they do, it's just normal conversation, but they do interact a lot in private.
For example, at this moment, Wan Fang was washing vegetables, and Li Mao had already filled the water and placed it beside her. Although the two did not say a word, the blush on Wan Fang's face and the secretive look in Li Mao's eyes were obvious.
Looking closely, the two are quite a good match. Wan Fang has very majestic facial features. Her skin has become rough due to long-term labor, and her face looks a little tired, but you can see that she has a very good foundation. She is a bright and beautiful type. She is tall, about 165 cm tall, with a good figure, a gentle personality, and is kind and generous.
As for Li Mao, he has thick eyebrows, big eyes and regular facial features, which is a very popular appearance in this era. Dark skin is a feature that everyone has. He is about the same height as Li Xiao, around 178 cm, which is not short.
As the person in charge of the educated youth site, he is capable and has a good personality. In all his long years here, I have never seen him get angry with anyone.
The way the two of them get along also makes people feel very comfortable, which is different from the two next to them.
Looking at these two couples every day, Xu Manman felt that she could save a lot of food.
Time passed slowly as we worked and ate melons, and the work in the fields was basically done.
The job she was assigned that day was to collect grass for pigs, at least two baskets of grass per day, which was 4 centimeters. Usually this job was done by the children in the village. Now there was not much work in the fields, and she could save some feed for the pigs and cows before the heavy snow closed the mountains.
So women are basically assigned to this, and men are responsible for watering and fertilizing.
