The next day, we got up at five o'clock in the morning as usual. After arriving at the square and being assigned our assigned plots of land, we hurried off to our plots.
When she arrived, Song Lili realized that she was assigned to the same group as Mu Shaohua and the others, and that several other educated youths were also there not far away.
Upon seeing Mu Shaohua and the others, Song Lili suddenly realized that she hadn't seen them in a long time.
Moreover, she forgot to tell the elderly people what to pay attention to during the autumn harvest.
Therefore, instead of harvesting wheat immediately, she went to the plot of land allocated to Mu Shaohua and the others.
"Girl, you're here? Are you harvesting wheat here too?" Lin Mu was the first person to see Song Lili arrive.
Song Lili nodded. "Yes, it's right there." She pointed to the land her family had been allocated.
Then he asked, "Are you all able to adapt? I forgot to tell you a few days ago."
Huang Zhen heard the voice and came over. "We can keep up, but we can't do much."
If we're really comparing, there's no way we can compare to these farmers.
"Just do your job diligently, and everyone will understand." The people of Hongqi Village are quite tolerant of outsiders.
"Yes, that's all we can do. As long as we're serious, no one will say anything," Huang Zhen said somewhat absentmindedly.
I remember how apprehensive they were when they first arrived in Hongqi Village, fearing they would be tortured again.
But unexpectedly, they ended up in a place where everyone was kind, which allowed these old guys to survive.
"You all need to take care of yourselves these days," Song Lili repeated what she had told Zhang Zeyu and the others.
"Don't worry, we all know. These past few days, your Guqin grandma has been cooking for us, making dry noodles for every meal. She was just worried we wouldn't be able to keep up," Zhong Hu said with a smile.
"That's good. I was just worried that you wouldn't be willing to spend the food and would ruin your health. If you want to eat vegetables, just come to my house and get some. I have plenty," Song Lili said with a smile.
"I heard you got married recently? And you're still in the same brigade?" Guqin asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'll be working closer to you from now on. You can come to me if you need anything." Song Lili's expression softened as she spoke of Zhang Qinghua.
"I heard he's a nice young man? Is he the same guy who came with you the last few times?" Lin Mu asked loudly.
Song Lili nodded shyly, "Yes, it's him."
"That's a good young man, with good eyesight. You have excellent taste," Huang Zhen said with a smile.
"I think it's good too." Mu Shaohua nodded in agreement.
"I'm going back now. Come find me if you need anything." Song Lili was embarrassed by what she was told and could only make an excuse to escape.
"Hehe, this girl is shy." Guqin said with a smile as she watched Song Lili run away.
"She's a really nice girl."
Song Lili didn't say anything to the educated youth. Anyway, she had already said everything she needed to say before. The rest was up to them.
At noon, Song Lili delivered some side dishes she had brought to both sides. The elderly people accepted them with smiles, but a small incident occurred on the side of the educated youth.
"These are some side dishes I made myself. I brought some over for you. They'll be better eaten with the dry rations."
Song Lili handed the oil paper in her hand to Zhang Zeyu, saying, "I think you should need this."
The bright red color, contrasting with the emerald green of the cucumber, looks so fresh and appetizing.
Xue Jiao was the first to swallow hard. "It looks delicious! I'm drooling."
Then, she looked at Song Lili happily and said, "Lili, you are so kind. You didn't know that this dry food was too dry. I haven't been eating well lately."
"With these side dishes you brought over today, I'm sure I'll be able to eat my fill and never have to go hungry again without wanting to eat."
Zhang Zeyu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we really need a side dish like this. Thank you."
Needless to say, Chu Ci immediately ran out and found two relatively tough wild grasses, made them into chopsticks, and started eating.
"Wow, it's spicy, I love it! And it's so crispy and refreshing, I love it!" she said, taking another bite.
"Chu Ci, don't finish it all, leave some for us!" Xue Jiao shouted and followed her out to find chopsticks.
Zhang Zeyu followed behind and ran out to get a pair of chopsticks, wanting to eat some side dishes.
Only Wang Shan looked disdainful and scoffed, "Ha, you sycophant, do you think you'll benefit from sucking up to them?"
“Let me tell you, a country bumpkin like you will never become a city dweller no matter how much you try to curry favor.”
Song Lili's smiling face slowly froze. "Whether I'm currying favor with others or not is none of your business."
"Even if I were to flatter you, I wouldn't be doing so. Stop talking nonsense and go do whatever you need to do. This is none of your business."
This Wang Shan is like a hedgehog. She pricks anyone she sees, making Song Lili wonder if she has a mental illness, since she can't stand anyone.
Of course, few others found her agreeable either.
"Wang Shan, why is there always something to be pinched about? Lili gave these things to us, not to you, so why are you yelling at me like that?"
Xue Jiao, who had just found the chopsticks and run over, heard Wang Shan's words and immediately became unhappy.
"Stop talking about city people all the time. Are city people so great? Then why don't you come up with something as delicious as that yourself?"
"I think you're just envious and jealous. You're envious that Lili is better than you in every way, which is why you can't stand Lili."
After speaking, he looked Wang Shan up and down, as if comparing her to Song Lili.
Chu Ci also took a moment to look up and said, "Of course! It's definitely envy, jealousy, and hatred. Who told Lili to be better than her in everything? She can't compare to her in anything."
"You shut up too, shut up!" Wang Shan jumped up and shouted angrily, just like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"I envy her? Are you kidding me? I envy her, a country bumpkin. I'm a city girl."
"I'm not envious of her, I just can't stand the way she fawns over you guys. I'm not envious of her."
Wang Shan's hysterical shouts attracted a lot of attention, and everyone looked in this direction.
Song Lili couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, taking in all of Wang Shan's anxious expression.
Then, she smiled and said to Xue Jiao, "If we're still together tomorrow, I'll bring you more."
"Of course, if you like to eat it, you can come to my house and I'll pack some for you. Come whenever you want to eat it in the future."
These are all things that everyone has at home, so Song Lili can make the decision to send them some.
After saying that, he looked at the indignant Wang Shan and smiled, "Do you know what? In my eyes, your behavior is just you envying me."
