The oxcart arrived at Baihe Brigade after lunchtime. It was the busy farming season in Baihe Brigade, and everyone had been working in the fields since before dawn.
They start work early and finish work early at noon, and after lunch they continue working in the afternoon.
It's easy to imagine that when Yu Yao got home, there was no food left for her.
However, she was already prepared and didn't expect Han Fenglan to leave her any food.
Even if they offered her food, she wouldn't dare eat it.
Who knows if it's a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's up to no good.
No one was home, the cupboard was unlocked, and apart from soy sauce, vinegar, and MSG, all the other grains and essential oils were gone.
No need to guess, Han Fenglan must have hidden herself.
On the surface, apart from Yu Defu, who works in the factory, and Yu Tianbao, who goes to school, everyone else in the family is earning work points.
However, the combined work points earned by Han Fenglan and Yu Honglan, two adults, in a year were less than half of what the original owner earned, and the original owner didn't even earn the full amount of work points.
This shows how incompetent these two are at their job.
It can be said that two-thirds of the grain that the brigade distributes to the Yu family every year was earned by the original owner of the body, so why shouldn't she eat it?
Yu Yao put down her things and walked to the door of Han Fenglan and Yu Defu's room.
The door was locked, and a new, thicker lock was installed.
It's clearly to prevent Yu Yao from interfering.
Unfortunately, Han Fenglan miscalculated. Yu Yao's gaze fell on the box at the door of the two rooms. She opened the drawer, flipped it up, and took out a key.
Han Fenglan always liked to hide delicious food, and she preferred to keep her keys in two places.
One was in the left drawer of the chest of drawers by her and Yu Defu's door, and the other was in a mouse hole in the corner of the kitchen.
The original owner of this body always knew and was aware of Han Fenglan's actions, but she was too soft-hearted, or perhaps she harbored a deep-seated resentment, and never dared to touch these things.
Upon opening the door, Yu Yao immediately saw the oil, salt, cornmeal, and rice on the cabinet.
She went to the kitchen and found a small rice container and a canning jar, filling them with enough food for a week.
A week later, the rice and wheat had to be taken to the brigade's mill to be pounded and ground into flour again. Rice and flour cannot be stored for long, as they are prone to insect infestation. Therefore, in rural areas, only what is needed is ground, enough for a month at a time.
She returned quite late; everyone else had already gone to the fields.
Yu Yao made a quick dish, took two eggs from the basket, boiled them into soft-boiled eggs, put them in her bosom, and then took her straw hat, gloves, and water bottle to the field.
Zhao Changshun, the captain of Baihe Brigade, was a distant cousin of Yu Yao's maternal grandmother. According to seniority, Yu Yao should call him "Grandpa."
He usually took good care of Yu Yao.
Recently, several new educated youths arrived at the brigade. Zhao Changshun first assigned them jobs, and then distributed them to other groups.
The able-bodied men were all assigned to the heavy work of irrigating and fertilizing the fields, while the women had an easier job.
Yu Yao arrived late; the work had already been almost completely assigned.
Zhao Changshun then sent her and two other female educated youths to pull weeds in the cornfield.
This job is easy, but it's a bit far; the cornfield is on a mountain.
“Yu Yao, you wait here. I’ve sent someone to call the female educated youth. Remember to teach them a lot in a bit. These city kids can’t do anything right.” Zhao Changshun said, his brows furrowed tightly.
Just as she finished speaking, Yu Yao saw two female educated youths walking towards her in the distance.
The female educated youth walking in front had her hair in a side braid, which was pulled loose and made her face look particularly small and lovely.
She was wearing a white polyester dress and delicate white leather shoes, looking completely out of place with her surroundings, and a hint of disdain was evident in her eyes.
Upon seeing Yu Yao, her expression seemed somewhat shocked, followed by a hint of understanding.
"Yu girl, this is the new educated youth. This is Yu Yao, a member of our brigade. She will be your group leader for weeding today. Listen to her instructions. She will take you to the cornfield to weed in a little while."
"Captain, how much fertilizer should we apply here?" someone asked Zhao Changshun.
"You're here. Get to know each other. I have to go now." Zhao Changshun gave a few simple instructions and then left.
Mu Hehe sized up Yu Yao.
Yu Yao asked in confusion, "Do we know each other?"
The original owner of this body had never left Dongfeng Commune, so she shouldn't know any of the educated youth from Haishi.
Mu Hehe looked at Yu Yao with a meaningful smile on her face and extended her hand: "Hello, Comrade Yu Yao, I am an educated youth from Haishi, my name is Mu Hehe."
It turns out she is the female lead, Mu Hehe.
It's really bad luck to open the door for her unlucky mother; bad luck has reached its peak.
tui——
The book only says that the female protagonist, Mu Hehe, and Lu Yunqi knew each other a long time ago. Unexpectedly, the female protagonist was actually an educated youth in the original owner's brigade. So the reason why the two met was because of the original owner.
This world is a complete mess.
Seeing that the two were wearing either capri pants or skirts, Yu Yao, out of professional responsibility as a group leader, still gave them a reminder.
“The corn leaves are sharp and can cut you. I suggest you change into long sleeves and pants, and you should ask the team leader for two pairs of gloves.”
A hint of indifference flashed in Mu Hehe's eyes.
Who does Yu Yao think she is? She's just a temporary group leader, yet she really thinks she's something special.
She's dressed up so nicely today not for work, but for another purpose.
If it weren't for that bitch Yu Yao interfering, she and Yun Qi would have been openly together long ago, and she would never have let her child recognize a thief as its mother.
This time, she's going to take back what belongs to her ahead of schedule.
Another educated youth took Yu Yao's advice to heart, went back to the educated youth settlement, changed into a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and asked the brigade leader for a pair of gloves.
She had fulfilled her obligations, and whether Mu Hehe listened or not was beyond her control.
