"I'm afraid that sometimes I won't be able to come back and tell you, which will make you worry."
After Qin Nian finished speaking, Yang Yufen waved her hand.
"Mom knows about your work, so don't worry. Also, Mom has something to tell you."
Yang Yufen initially thought it was because of Qin Nian's work, but upon hearing that it was for her sake, she immediately dismissed it.
“I’m going to help out at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences with your Aunt Wang. There’s a job, it’s not tiring, and there’s pay. I think it’s good. I don’t have to be busy every day like you guys do at your jobs. I have flexible hours.”
"Wouldn't that be too tiring?"
Qin Nian couldn't help but worry.
"No, no, it's the kind of work Mom's used to doing, it's like exercise for her."
"As long as Mom is happy, that's all that matters. But please don't overwork yourself for the sake of money."
Qin Nian saw that her mother-in-law was genuinely happy, so she didn't say much.
"Niannian, let me give you a heads-up. We have some savings at home. It's not a lot, but it's enough for our daily needs. And if we need money in an emergency, I have some gold saved up."
Qin Nian nodded.
Because of the extreme weather, the affected area was quite large. Yang Yufen and Aunt Wang went to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences every day to help out, and the people at the Academy gradually became familiar with them.
"Aunt Yang, Aunt Wang, we'll have to trouble you again today."
Yang Yufen and Aunt Wang took over the seeds to be planted today. Their task for the day was to plant the seeds and cover them with soil.
In the camp
Some of the children developed mild colds due to the temperature changes, but apart from one unlucky child who got hit on the head, the rest were fine.
Hu Jun and Shen Xianjun breathed a sigh of relief. They reported the situation to their superiors, and three freshmen were sent back. The rest all behaved themselves, as no one wanted a black mark on their records.
The training became more rigorous, and all the children turned into black charcoal.
"Sizzle~"
A voice rang out, and Li Wen, who was queuing up to climb the tree, looked up and saw Li Wu's chubby buttocks exposed in the middle of the military green.
All the parts of his body exposed to the sun got tanned, except for his buttocks, which remained dark, making the contrast quite obvious.
Li Wu instinctively tried to cover his buttocks, but Li Wen quickly dodged away.
"Thump~" The heavy object fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Li Wu wailed in despair.
Why didn't you help me up?
Li Wu looked at Li Wen, who looked up at the sky, wishing he could cover his face with his hands. This was his own brother, his biological brother, but it was still so embarrassing.
"You should stand up first. Grandma sewed two extra layers. I told you not to wear this one. You were lazy yesterday, and now look what happened."
They insist on doing things themselves, and even though they are not very old, they wash their own clothes.
Yesterday, Li Wu felt tired and didn't wash his clothes after showering. He trained all day and his pants were torn, but he didn't think much of it. When Li Wen saw Li Wu wearing the same pants again this morning, he couldn't persuade him to stop.
"It's going to get dirty anyway, so I might as well wash it tonight. Who would have thought it would break so easily?"
Li Wu covered his buttocks with both hands.
“You definitely can’t climb trees like that, you’ll be too easy to spot. We’ll use these blades of grass as camouflage. Give me the knife.”
Li Wen looked at it and made a decision.
They'd even made grass skirts from tree leaves before, so Liwu quickly offered his help.
Today was a drill. Three people who drew red lots waited in the camp, while the remaining seven people were given twenty minutes to hide. Within two hours, the person who was found had to run as punishment and wash the clothes of the winner. The person who hid until the end also won.
If any of the three people fail to find any of them, they also lose, and the punishment is the same.
The given area is only so big; you can choose how to hide it yourself.
Are we just going to squat here?
Li Wu tugged at his grass skirt, covering his buttocks.
"No, let's make a fake one here, cover it with some dry leaves, and hide it in some other bushes."
Li Wen pointed to a few small trees surrounded by grass not far away.
"Just jump straight in, and wherever you land, just crouch down there, and don't make a sound."
