Chapter 201: The 1970s Educated Youth Are a Little Tall
"Look, isn't that the new female educated youth standing next to the village chief?"
"I heard that this young woman cured the village chief's illness. How come she's so skilled at such a young age? She even cured an illness that the town doctors couldn't cure."
In the crowd, the aunts and sisters gathered in groups of three or four, secretly observing the new educated youth.
"I don't know if she was the one who cured the village chief's snake venom. If she was, we should build a good relationship with her. If she ever gets a headache or a fever in the future, we can get treatment without leaving the village."
The male educated youth next to Yao Liming whispered to the people around him.
"If she really has that ability, it wouldn't hurt for us to have a good relationship with her."
Yao Liming has been busy these two days and has not found time to go to town. He hasn't earned any money for several days and he is not in a good mood.
I have no interest in anything, but I still have to work hard in the fields every day.
When he spoke, he seemed a little absent-minded.
"Lin Zhiqing, you've just arrived in the countryside. How much do you know about farm work?"
"The work you do is different, and the work points you get are also different."
"If you are good at something, I will arrange it for you first. If not, I will let someone from the village take you."
The village chief treated his savior better than others.
But he couldn't cover up for him blatantly, after all, so many villagers were watching.
"Village Chief, please take care of the arrangements for me!"
"I can do farm work, too. I studied Chinese medicine with my grandmother and also managed my own medicinal fields. This kind of land should be similar to growing medicinal herbs."
Lin Wanwan moved the bamboo sun hat on her head and said indifferently.
"Then you can follow the women in the village to weed the fields. This is the last weeding of the cornfield. Once you're done weeding, you can wait for the corn to mature and be harvested."
"Feng Shihua, come here and work with Lin Zhiqing."
The village chief glanced around the scene, passing over the aunties and sisters who seemed eager to try, and his eyes fell on a little girl.
This child is the eldest girl from his sister's family. Her full name is Feng Shihua and her nickname is Xiaohua.
The village chief knew that Lin Wanwan was generous and capable, and that having a good relationship with such a female educated youth would only benefit his niece.
"Here you are. Leave Lin Zhiqing to me. Don't worry, uncle."
Feng Shihua ran over happily, because she knew that it was this Lin Zhiqing who saved her uncle's life.
Not to mention asking her to take Lin Wanwan to work, even if she was asked to help Lin Wanwan, she would not say a word.
"How many times have I told you, don't call me uncle outside!"
"Hurry up and take Lin Zhiqing to familiarize himself with the place. If there are any areas he doesn't understand, teach him."
"Let's go, let's go. You're already a grown-up girl, but you don't have any manners at all."
The village chief complained, but his eyes were full of smiles.
After the two of them walked away, he began to arrange work for other people.
Lin Wanwan followed Feng Shihua, and the two of them plunged into one of the cornfields.
The cornfield is very deep, but there is more grass in some places and less in others.
After all, the corn stalks were very tall, forming a sharp contrast with the weeds, so there was no need for Feng Shihua to teach her. Lin Wanwan squatted down and started pulling them out by herself.
"Lin Zhiqing, are you used to coming to our village?"
While working, Feng Shihua turned his head to observe Lin Wanwan.
Seeing that she was doing it well, I felt a little impressed.
They are all about the same age. He is proficient in medicine, martial arts, and farm work.
Think about yourself.
If her uncle hadn't forced her, her parents wouldn't even let her finish junior high school.
Not to mention learning any special skills.
"It's pretty good. The village chief and Accountant Qian take good care of me, and the villagers are all very kind."
Lin Wanwan took the weeds in her hand and rolled them from beginning to end. Then she turned them from the base of the tail to the front, circled them twice, and then tied the tip of the tail into a small ball.
Then he skillfully placed the weeds in one of the corn fields.
If they put the weeds in one place, they can just walk through the gaps in the corn and take all the weeds out.
"That's good. If you need any help, you can come to me."
"My house is not far from where you live. It's the third house south of yours."
Seeing that Lin Wanwan worked efficiently, Feng Shihua didn't want to be left behind, so she quickened her pace.
But he still wanted to chat with Lin Wanwan more.
The educated youth in the Youth League Home usually don’t play with the girls in the village, and Lin Wanwan is the female educated youth closest to her.
"Okay, you don't have to call me Lin Zhiqing, just call me Wanwan."
"It just so happens that I'm a stranger here and don't even have any friends. Let's just be good friends from now on!"
Lin Wanwan thought Feng Shihua was a fun girl, so she would try her best to take her with her when she was working.
Although it is not necessary, she appreciates other people's kindness.
"Really? That's great!"
"Lin Zhiqing... No, Wanwan, we'll be good friends from now on."
"My name is Feng Shihua. You can just call me Xiaohua like everyone else in the village."
Feng Shihua was very excited and happy to have made a close friend, a female educated youth who was very skilled in medicine.
His hands moved even faster, showing no sign of slacking off as usual.
"Oh, Xiaohua! I wonder where else we newly arrived educated youth can go to buy food besides the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"I didn't bring many food coupons this time. The little food I could buy with the coupons probably wouldn't be enough to last until the autumn harvest."
Now that she had a friend in the village, Lin Wanwan naturally wanted to make use of this connection and asked about many things in the village.
Of course she knew that she could use money to buy food from the villagers, but she needed an acquaintance to introduce her to feel at ease.
"Wanwan, are you short of food? Can you come to my house to exchange it?"
"We have enough food at home for now. You can exchange some first. The harvest is less than a month away, and we can divide the food after the crops are harvested."
The first thing Feng Shihua thought of was the food in his own warehouse.
Their family has many people, so they earn a lot of food and there is always some surplus every year.
"Of course, you can also go to the village branch and ask the village chief or accountant."
"I heard my uncle mention to others that educated youth could get some food in advance to tide them over the current difficulties."
After saying that his family had food, Feng Shihua thought of Lin Wanwan's identity as an educated youth.
When I thought about it, I remembered what my uncle had said to Accountant Qian, and I immediately thought of a better way.
"Does the village still allow advances on grain?"
"That's great! At the speed I work, it shouldn't be difficult to earn eight work points a day. That way, I won't have to worry about not being able to pay back the grain I borrowed from the village."
