Chapter 97 The Life of a Sent-Down Youth in the 1970s (16)



Tang Baozhu used her wood-based supernatural abilities to accelerate the growth of vines on the mountain, caught a few pheasants and rabbits, and then did not stay on the mountain for long.

One reason was that almost everyone was about to finish work, and the other was that it was getting darker and they were worried that a large, ferocious beast might come out.

Although you can hide in a small space, it's best to avoid going in as much as possible to reduce the risk of exposure.

I put all the pheasants and rabbits into my spatial storage, and then casually picked some wild vegetables so they wouldn't stand out.

When I got back, I ran into other people who were leaving work at the entrance of the educated youth settlement.

"Some people are so lucky! They have someone to help them with the work and they can finish work so early. People like us who have to rely on ourselves are miserable. We work ourselves to the bone. It seems we just don't know how to enjoy life."

Tang Baozhu didn't want to pay attention to Sheng Xueli's sarcastic voice at first, but if she didn't, she would think that Sheng Xueli was easy to bully and would continue to bully her in the future.

"What can be done? Who told you to be ugly? Some people are shameless enough to cling to you, while others want help but no one comes to assist them. It's really pitiful."

Speaking in a sarcastic and sarcastic tone, as if anyone can do it, I just feel that my mouth isn't very good enough. If it were good enough, I could shut her up.

These words infuriated Sheng Xueli. They implied that she was ugly and that no one would help her.

"You, you..."

Sheng Xueli couldn't argue with her and was so angry that she wanted to hit her, but she was held back by others.

Tang Baozhu rolled her eyes at her, then walked past her and went straight back into her room.

Being ignored felt terrible, and Tang Xueli's chest heaved with anger; she was furious.

Several men nearby stared wide-eyed, looked at each other, and realized they were all in similar situations, so they quickly went into the educated youth settlement.

Tang Baozhu didn't care how angry she was. She cooked the rice first, then washed the wild vegetables and prepared to make a cold wild vegetable salad.

After cooking and preparing the cold wild vegetables, I took out a plate of meat from my spatial storage. Two dishes were enough for one person.

I boiled some hot water and washed myself, but I still felt like I wasn't clean enough, so I washed myself again in the small space.

After washing up, I found that the animal enclosure was almost finished being built. The four rabbits and five pheasants I had just caught were still tied up with vines and placed to the side.

Looking at the pheasant suddenly made me want to drink chicken soup. I wonder if the soup would taste better than that of modern free-range chickens.

I heard that the chickens in the warehouse are all free-range chickens, but I don't know if that's true. However, I think Xu Rui wouldn't have any reason to lie to people. Besides, she has given him a lot of gold, so it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

After instructing the robot to take care of a few rabbits and chickens, and then asking it to kill one to make soup, he came out of the space.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that the celestial being had given me water containing spiritual energy and celestial spirit water. I plan to use water containing spiritual energy for cooking from now on, so that my body will get better and better. I wonder if it can help me cultivate wood-type supernatural abilities.

No matter what, I have to give it a try. After all, I can't just drift through life like this; I still need to learn something.

For the next week, she worked every day, and Jin Meng would help her with the work every day. Now everyone in the village knew that the youngest son of the brigade leader had taken a liking to the new female educated youth.

After working for a week, all the weeds in the field were pulled out. It wasn't a large area, since there weren't many people to begin with. After weeding stopped, there wasn't much work to do, so the team leader gave everyone a holiday.

They didn't say exactly how many days the work would be suspended, only that they would announce it in advance through the village loudspeaker when it was time to start work.

Since she didn't have to work, Tang Baozhu slept in late and didn't get up until very late. When she went outside, she found that everyone else had just gotten up.

This past week, even though someone helped with the work, I was still very tired. Fortunately, I had the wood-type ability to repair my body, otherwise my back would have been so sore that I wouldn't have been able to straighten up.

Xu Man, Liu Lili, and the other new female comrades sat chatting at the door, while Li Feifei and the other older educated youths were sewing shoe soles and making shoes. They didn't rest much even during their holidays; they were really too diligent.

They saw Tang Baozhu as soon as she came out, and then they noticed that her face hadn't gotten tanned from working, which made them very curious.

“Baozhu, why are we all getting tanned after a week of work, but you’re getting fairer? Tell us what you’re using, I want to buy it too.”

Tang Baozhu also knew her own face. Because of her wood-type superpower, more and more impurities were being expelled, which was why her skin was getting better and better.

The reason, of course, cannot be said. "I didn't apply anything. I just used the same cold cream as you. Maybe it's because my skin doesn't tan! Otherwise, there's no other reason. We all use the same things."

"It's so unfair! We're using the same products, so why is your skin so much better?"

It's so enviable; no girl doesn't love to look beautiful.

Li Feifei, the female lead, was pulling up the sole of her shoe when she heard what the new female colleague said and looked up at Tang Baozhu.

"Comrade Baozhu's face doesn't get tanned, it must be her nature. There are indeed people like that. If they are exposed to the sun often, they may get sunburned, but once they stop sunbathing, their skin will quickly return to its fair complexion. It's something we can't envy. Everyone, try to wear a straw hat when you go to work in the future, and avoid getting tanned as much as possible!"

"It's so enviable that some people are born without getting a tan."

Tang Baozhu could only give an awkward but polite smile. Since someone had already helped her find an excuse, she shouldn't say anything more, lest others think she was showing off.

However, after staying here for a week, I felt that apart from Sheng Xueli being a bit arrogant and sharp-tongued, everyone else was quite nice.

Even Xu Man, who pushed the original owner to be a mad cow, thought it was alright, and wondered if Tang Baozhu herself had gone mad.

However, it's still a long time before the cow goes crazy. Anyway, she hasn't seen the cow this week, only the village's horse-drawn cart. She figured it's because the cow is too precious and is only used during the autumn harvest. Thinking about it that way, she doesn't know what could have caused it to go crazy.

"Everyone's off today. I thought they'd all go to the county town, but it turns out none of them went!"

Tang Baozhu thought there would be no one outside after she got up, but she didn't expect everyone to be in the yard.

"I'm just too tired from working these past few days. I want to take a good rest for a day and go tomorrow. We've all agreed on that."
