Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan looked at each other, wondering what this little girl had been through.
Besides, now is not a convenient time to talk. This little girl is too bold.
However, she could see the despair and helplessness of the little girl named Tao Aihua. Maybe later, she would have to find Bai Lianshan and Uncle Jiu and ask them to inquire about the situation.
Feng Zilu, Dabao and Xiaobao on the side could no longer resist the sleepiness and just fell asleep.
Old Feng and Su Ze were still sitting on the side fanning the three children, and Su Huaiyuan hurried over to take over.
After resting for about half an hour, everyone started to go out again. Qiao Jiuru asked Zhou Wanwan to go out later because the children had not slept enough and they were worried.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry about poisonous snakes and insects. Qiao Jiuru has already hung snake, insect, mosquito and ant repellent bags on the three children.
After another half an hour of rest, Zhou Wanwan had to get out of bed. She put Dabao and Xiaobao in the car first, put mosquito nets and sun hats on them, and finally woke Feng Zilu up.
Feng Zilu was still a little groggy after just waking up. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Aunt Zhou. He then yawned and prepared to sit up.
"Zilu, drink some water. Carry this kettle to the threshing ground. It's still too hot in the afternoon. Go back later. You're too young and no one will say anything to you."
Zhou Wanwan placed her mother-in-law's words and the kettle prepared for the child next to him, and while instructing him, she prepared to go to the bathroom.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou. Please go and do your work. I will sit here for a while and then go to the grain field."
Feng Zilu nodded quickly to thank Zhou Wanwan, and took a sip from the kettle. The grandfather and grandson also brought a pot of cold boiled water, but there was not much left, as Qiao Jiuru had filled the pot for him.
It's cool, delicious, and sweet. It makes me feel comfortable after drinking it.
After Feng Zilu drank a sip of water, he couldn't help but close his eyes in comfort. He immediately became energetic, and all the fatigue disappeared.
Zhou Wanwan had already gone downstairs. After Feng Ziru went to the bathroom, he came back to see his two little brothers, Dabao and Xiaobao, then he put on his straw hat and water bottle, said hello to his grandfather and the others, and went to the grain field.
It was not until after three o'clock that Feng Zilu went to work at the sweet potato shop. Those who were eaten sweet potatoes were usually older mothers-in-law and aunts, or female educated youth with weaker health, young wives, young girls, or children of his age.
Feng Zilu would not say anything if he came to work at this time, he was not a half-grown boy. Moreover, Bai Lianshan had already told the team leader and the reporter that children under twelve years old should not be treated as strictly as adults. If something happened in there, no one could bear the responsibility.
At worst, we can get up early to work while it’s still cool, and finish work later in the evening.
Except for those who went back half an hour earlier to cook, everyone started to leave work until nearly eight o'clock in the evening when it was almost impossible to see clearly in the room.
Zhou Meihua also helped prepare dinner for Old Feng's family in advance. She and another girl who lived with them in the cowshed could go home half an hour earlier to prepare dinner.
When Qiao Jiuru got home, he lit the fire first, then started to boil water, and finally, when he saw that the time was almost up, he took out the prepared food directly from the space. When Su Huaiyuan, Zhou Wanwan and Su Ze came back, the two little guys had eaten half of their meal.
Su Huaiyuan, his son and daughter-in-law first washed their faces with the water in the tub, then washed their hands, drank a bowl of boiled water, and rested for a while before starting to eat.
It's really tiring and it's really hard work.
Fortunately, they had ointments and good food, so they could persist in this kind of work.
After dinner, the family quickly washed, applied ointment, and went to bed.
Now, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan harvest the crops in the space every three days. If it weren't for the difference between the time in the space and the outside world, and the water they drink is good for their health, they wouldn't be able to hold on.
It was the same in the cowshed. Everyone made good use of their time to eat, wash, apply medicine, and sleep, and then get up early the next day to cook and go to work.
However, the atmosphere at the educated youth camp was not so good, especially for the group of male and female educated youth who had just arrived in the countryside. They all had pale faces, no strength in their bodies, and felt dizzy and heavy in their heads. After sitting down, they didn't want to get up, and they didn't even want to eat.
Tao Aihua was no different from everyone else, mechanically stuffing rice into her mouth. She now ate the same thing for three meals a day, just rice, eggs and vegetables. It was only because of the autumn harvest that she could afford to eat such good food.
Otherwise, during the time she had been in the countryside, she could only eat one egg a day at most. Her breakfast was sweet potato porridge, her lunch was also vegetable porridge, and she would only eat dry food at night.
"Tao Zhiqing, what is your relationship with the stinky old ninth in our production team? I saw you went over and talked to them."
During this time, Tao Aihua's actions were seen by the educated youths at the educated youth point. The tasks of the educated youths were adjacent to those in the cowshed, so they could not avoid it at all.
The one who asked Tao Aihua was a group of newly arrived female educated youth who were looking at her with curious eyes, waiting for her answer.
Unexpectedly, before Tao Aihua could reply to her, the two male and female team leaders of the educated youth site educated the female educated youth.
"If you want to know what the relationship is between Chen Zhiqing and Tao Zhiqing and those people, you can ask me. The captain told me everything and asked me to tell you. If anyone wants to know, tell her."
"Tao Zhiqing has nothing to do with those people. The person who was talking to Tao Zhiqing told the team leader that Tao Zhiqing was just a relative of a person they knew before. He should have seen them before, but didn't expect to see them here. Maybe Tao Zhiqing was wronged before going to the countryside?! When he saw a familiar person, he went over to say hello on impulse. The team leader said it was not a big deal."
"The team leader also told me to tell you that as long as you don't commit crimes, do evil, steal, or do bad things in the production team, he doesn't care what you were like before. But here, just work hard. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the production team and the team leader. If you are sick, you can take medicine and eat when you need to, and rest when you need to. How much you can earn depends on ourselves. The production team will never force us. But if there is not enough rations, in addition to not taking advantage of the members, everyone can take money to the production team to exchange, or exchange eggs for chickens."
"Finally, the team leader said that the issues concerning the educated youth in the Dashan Village production team must not be allowed to occur in our production team, otherwise he would return the case to the educated youth office."
"Comrades, we came to the production team much earlier than you did. The team leader is definitely the most talkative production team cadre I have ever seen. As long as he can make things convenient for us, he will definitely make things convenient for us. We will do as much as we can, but we can't not do anything. As long as we can support ourselves, he won't force us. If you change to other production teams, you will have a harder time. We must cherish it and don't mess with those evil girls. If my family doesn't live well, how can you live well?!"
"That's right, the two captains are absolutely right. I've been here for three years. If I had money, I could live a better life than in the city."
"That's right. I think it's better than the city. We have a month's vacation every day, so we can go home and reunite. Where can we find such a good thing?!"
"You new educated youth, please stop being naughty! If you cause us trouble, we will make you pay."
"Yes, listen to our old educated youth, don't cause trouble, don't commit suicide, and there is nothing else to pay attention to."
…
The two male and female captains had just said half of their words when the other old educated youths started to speak up and looked at the new educated youths with warning eyes.
The new educated youth were all stunned and couldn't help shrinking their necks: "..."
They didn't seem to say anything yet! No need to scare them like that, right?!
Tao Aihua: “…”
