When we started working in the afternoon, the team leader Zhao Youtian told everyone to work harder in the afternoon to harvest the last few spring sweet potatoes, and that the lunch supply for tomorrow's lunch would be adjusted to tonight.

After dinner, not only the autumn harvest group but also the autumn planting group had to work together to slice the sweet potatoes and dry them into dried taro while the weather was good in the next two days.

So in the afternoon, Yi Qingqing and her colleagues in the cafeteria quickly gathered together to discuss the arrangements for this afternoon.

"We still have a meal tonight. Time is limited in the afternoon. It's too late to dig wild vegetables to make wild vegetable dumplings. Dongmei, you and Lai Di will go outside and dig a basket of wild vegetables. Half of the usual amount will be enough. Qingqing and I will peel the sweet potatoes and cook sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge today. This way we can go faster!"

Aunt Guihua arranged it.

Making porridge is much faster than kneading wild vegetable dumplings.

After receiving the tasks, they went about their business.

Aunt Guihua and Yiqingqing went to the threshing ground and brought back a basket of freshly unearthed sweet potatoes.

"Let's cook a solid meal this time, as we need to prepare it at night. If we want to eat sweet potatoes later, we can only wait until the wheat stubble and sweet potatoes are harvested and the public grain is paid. Only then will we have food to eat after each family receives grain. The food we have now has not been recorded in the account yet!" Aunt Guihua whispered to her.

Yi Qingqing guessed that this was something that everyone knew.

Every policy has its own countermeasure.

Most of the grain that farmers grow does not end up in their own pockets, but they are unwilling to accept that after working hard for a year, they still have to tighten their belts and live a tight life even though the harvest is good. So they can only find ways to have a full meal before the grain is harvested and counted.

After a few days of leisure, the cooking team in the cafeteria today was almost as busy as those working in the fields outside.

After rushing around, I finally finished preparing dinner before dinner time.

This time the time was tight and the task was heavy, so after getting our meal, we found a place around the threshing ground to squat and drink porridge.

After Yi Qingqing finished her meal, she also came out with her bowl of porridge.

Everyone was eating here today, so Yi Qingqing and the others didn't do anything so obvious and served themselves more food.

Although everyone had speculated before, they had never seen it in person. If they really brought out a much larger portion of porridge than others and were seen, it would inevitably arouse envy and have a negative impact on their election next year.

So even Sun Lai Di knew to restrain herself this time.

However, before getting their meal, the four of them had already drunk a bowl each and were half full.

Yi Qingqing was relieved. She was really afraid that if she came out with a bowl of porridge that was much more substantial than others, people would gossip about her and it would ruin her image.

Li Mengxue and the others were sitting on the ridge eating their meals in a very ungraceful manner. They had been busy in the fields for an entire afternoon and their clothes were already covered in dust.

I'm so tired that I don't have enough energy to care about my image.

"This sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge is quite delicious," Li Mengxue was still saying when Yi Qingqing sat over.

She was very tired and hungry after the rush to harvest in the afternoon. This simple sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge actually tasted delicious to her.

There is no time to go back and cook a special meal today. She still has to work in the evening. If she doesn't eat something to fill her stomach, she will probably be exhausted. Fortunately, it is not wild vegetable dumplings in the evening, otherwise she will suffer.

Yi Qingqing shook her head. When she was hungry, she thought everything tasted delicious.

She turned her back and shared half of the porridge in the bowl with Yun Guyuan, and whispered to him, "I already ate a little before dinner."

Li Mengxue noticed their little movements and said to Zheng Xiaolong behind her, "We don't have any more today."

She didn't feel anything even after finishing her bowl of porridge, so she can have another bowl!

At this time, of course she knew that Zheng Xiaolong would not be full, but there was no need for her to starve herself to feed him.

Yi Qingqing had eaten it beforehand, but she hadn't.

Although love is important, filling your stomach is more important.

"It's okay, just eat your fill!" Zheng Xiaolong said without minding.

Although he was very happy that Meng Xue shared the wild vegetable dumplings with him, that was because she didn't like them and couldn't eat them. After returning home at noon, she would make some more food to fill her stomach.

Her family is in such a good situation, but the only reason she can live so well is because she worked hard in the black market. How can I take advantage of her?

Sometimes I really admire her courage, for being able to fight against her unhappy family, but I can't do it myself.

As dusk fell, fires were lit around the threshing ground.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and started pushing the sweet potatoes.

The whole village joined in the effort, even the little kids helped.

Although my body is tired after a busy day, the liveliness at this moment is rare.

Everyone was shouting slogans while working, and then someone started singing revolutionary songs.

Section 96

He kept working but always had a smile on his face.

Yi Qingqing also enjoyed it. She had never seen such a lively scene before. The feeling of everyone working together was extremely moving, a scene that could not be found in later generations.

We were busy until the second half of the night before everyone quieted down. Yawning all the time, we forced ourselves to stay awake and finally finished pushing all the sweet potatoes.

Three of the four golden flowers have wilted.

One of them hugged another's waist, rested his head on the shoulder of the person in front, dragged his steps, closed his eyes, and only Yi Qingqing, who was at the front, seemed energetic.

She dragged three people towards the educated youth camp by herself, muttering in despair: "One, two, one, one, two, one..."

Yi Qingqing swore that she was kidnapped!

If she didn't shout, her shoes would be stepped on and knocked off by the devil Li Mengxue behind her, and her hands were still resting on her most ticklish part!

Several people stumbled around like a long, twisting worm.

Yun Guyuan followed her silently.

Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Zhihe watched helplessly, feeling particularly desolate.

The girl you like puts her head on another girl's shoulder and it has nothing to do with you.

"Okay, we're here. There's a threshold, be careful!" When they arrived at the entrance of the educated youth point, Yi Qingqing reminded the people behind them.

He forcibly broke up the team and pushed them in, "Go back and take a shower and go to bed, don't dawdle!"

"oh!"

Three ghost-like guys wandered in.

Yi Qingqing was finally freed.

"Don't forget our appointment tomorrow!" Yi Qingqing finally said to Yun Guyuan.

Yun Guyuan nodded: "Go back quickly, good night!"

"Good night," Yi Qingqing waved to him and went into the house.
