The next day, Da Wang got up before dawn. His biological clock was very accurate now. When he got up, Er Wang got up too. Then Da Wang kicked San Wang up.

The two prosperous ones are Zhao Mingjie and Chi Fengshou.

Zhao Mingjie squinted his eyes and asked, "What time?"

Erwang said based on his experience, "Below five o'clock."

Zhao Mingjie quickly got up and put on his clothes, as it was still dark outside.

Chi Fengshou: "Five o'clock? So early!" He muttered, "What a psycho!" and turned over and continued to sleep.

Mai Sui heard this and helped push Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao wailed and pulled the quilt up to cover his head, "Please, let me sleep a little longer."

Huo Hongzhen got up and helped call Gao Lu.

They seldom get up so early, especially since they have been nervous and not rested well recently. Gao Lu got up reluctantly. After all, she had no connections or good looks, so she was not qualified to get any special treatment.

Outside, Han Qingsong was already impatient and started counting. Dawang and the others immediately ran out. Before Sanwang left, he shouted, "Hurry up! If you are late, you will be punished. My father is very angry."

Xiao Wang also stood up and reminded Gao Lu who was in a hurry: "Sister, please keep your voice down. You can't disturb my mother."

Chi Fengshou heard that Lin Lan was still sleeping, so he had nothing to be afraid of and slept peacefully.

Han Qingsong stood in the yard, watching Dawang and his brothers run out one after another, followed by Xiaowang, then Huo Hongzhen, Zhao Mingjie, Gao Lu, and finally Fan Xiao came out in a hurry, without picking up his shoes, his hair was a mess, his eyes were a little closed, and he knocked against the door frame like a headless fly.

Han Qingsong: “…”

Fan smiled and saw Han Qingsong's dark face. She was startled and rushed out to chase him. Would she be beaten if she fell behind? She felt that if she didn't run, Han Qingsong would kick her like the instructor, and she would be half dead.

"Late harvest?" Han Qingsong looked out the east window.

Chi Fengshou on the kang didn't move, he just covered his head and continued to sleep.

Han Qingsong didn't call him again, but started counting. When he counted to ten, he ignored Chi Fengshou Gu and ran out.

Mai Sui also got up. Seeing Chi Fengshou sleeping like a pig with his head covered, she couldn't help but remind him: "Chi Zhiqing, you should get up quickly. The secretary asked you to follow my father for training, so you have to follow. If you don't go, you'd better be careful."

Chi Fengshou is too lazy to pay attention to me, and you still dare to hit me?

Mai Sui saw that he looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, so she didn't pay much attention to him. She went to the toilet first, washed up and went to see the excitement. When she got to the street, Shen Yu led Chi Min and Wu Wenyi out.

The nitpicker's hair was also like a chicken's nest, and his face was full of dissatisfaction, "I can't even go to school, so why do I have to do morning exercises? When I was in school, I didn't do morning exercises this early!"

Shen Yu: "You still want to eat? Shut up!"

Wu Wenyi kept his mouth shut, but his eyes revealed that he was complaining even more fiercely in his heart.

Seeing the wheat ears, Shen Yu asked about the exercise route.

Mai Sui pointed to him and said, "Run around the village."

Shen Yu thanked him and was about to chase after him.

Mai Sui: “That…”

Shen Yu looked at her, "What?"

Mai Sui pointed in the direction of his home and said, "That late educated youth is still sleeping."

Shen Yu's face turned cold. He was really a drag and a hindrance. "I'll go call him."

Mai Sui then took his family to look for Chi Fengshou.

When the two of them came in, Chi Fengshou was sleeping soundly with his head covered.

Shen Yu stood above him: "Late harvest!"

Chi Fengshou covered his head, "Are you bothered or not? There's something wrong with you!"

"Since you don't abide by the rules of the educated youth center, we, the educated youth class 72, can expel you. You can go to work and eat on your own. Don't complain that we don't care about you." He was silent for a few seconds, waiting for Chi Fengshou's reaction.

Chi Fengshou is still sleeping with his head covered. Isn't he annoying? If you have the guts, send him back.

Lin Lan heard the noise and hurried over. Seeing Shen Yu and Mai Sui standing in the room, she remained calm and greeted Shen Yu first.

Shen Yu: "Captain Lin, I'm sorry to bother you."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, you go first."

Shen Yu nodded: "Trouble you, Captain Lin." He smiled at Mai Sui again, then turned and left.

Mai Sui: “Mom, I’ll go take a look.” He also ran out.

Lin Lan was a little dazed. She ignored Chi Fengshou and focused on washing up and preparing breakfast.

While she was busy, Chi Fengshou suddenly jumped up from the kang, ran out to the toilet in his underwear, and came back in a swagger after a while.

Lin Lan: “…”

"Chizhiqing, please pay attention to your appearance." Lin Lan reminded him.

Chi Fengshou said, "Sorry, I have to pee urgently."

Lin Lan didn't say anything else and continued to do her own thing.

Chi Fengshou got up reluctantly and put on his clothes, piled the quilt on the kang, and then went downstairs to wash.

He picked up a washbasin at random and used it without caring whose it belonged to him. He also used Fan Xiao's scented soap to wash his face. After washing, he splashed the dirty water directly into the vegetable patch.

Lin Lan was unable to stop him and was a little unhappy. "Late educated youth, you can't use soapy water to water the vegetables. You have to pour it into the yang gutter and let it flow out."

Chi Fengshou said "oh" and was about to leave.

Lin Lan: "Chi Zhiqing, the basin is not put away properly."

If I put all seven or eight basins out, there would be no place to put them.

Chi Fengshou took a look at it, picked it up, put it down casually, turned and left.

Lin Lan got angry and decided to go out and see how busy the educated youth were and how tired they were.

Last night Han Qingsong came back and told her that the scores of those educated youth had hit a new low. The highest score for boys was four points, while some girls did not even get one point. They were simply worse than the children themselves.

Lin Lan stood at the intersection and looked around. Han Qingsong took the children for a run here every day. After running, they would come back here to do push-ups, squat jumps and other exercises. Da Wang also did strength control training.

Soon, she saw Da Wang taking the lead, followed by Er Wang and San Wang, then Shen Yu and Zhao Mingjie, followed by Xiao Wang who came over slowly, and then the scattered educated youth, running in a marathon posture.

There's no need to laugh at Fan Xiao, Chi Min, and Gao Lu. They're all in bad shape. They're all holding their stomachs, gritting their teeth, and looking sullen. They don't care about mocking each other and just want to survive.

The argumentative one and the conceited one also looked like they had no hope in life.

The argumentative person gnashed his teeth, as if he was looking for someone to pick a fight with. Xu Dongxing's hair was a mess, and he didn't care about being handsome.

But there is no late harvest.

Lin Lan didn't expect that this slow harvester was the biggest troublemaker without making any noise.

Finally, Han Qingsong came over slowly, ran towards her when he saw her, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulders and followed her.

Many children and women in the village came out to point and watch the excitement. Before, they were watching Han Qingsong and a few others, but now they were watching the educated youths as well. They were usually very aloof, but now they were being scolded to the point of being out of breath. The members of the commune were watching with great interest.

Dong Huaihua saw Lin Lan and came over to complain, "You said there were so many educated youth here before, but I've never seen anyone so coquettish. They all don't want to do anything."

Lin Lan: "Someone is looking for you?"

Dong Huaihua: "That's right, I was rejected. If I had that ability, wouldn't I be the Party Secretary?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "We can't help them. It was right to refuse them at the beginning. Don't let them have unrealistic hopes. We must face reality."

Dong Huaihua: "Why is there one educated youth missing?"

Lin Lan: "That one is late, got up late, and probably went straight to the team."

The two chatted for a few minutes and then went home. When Lin Lan got home, she found Mai Sui had already returned to cook.

Mai Sui laughed and said, "Mom, it's really hard for these educated youth. They can't even run, how can they go to the fields?"

Lin Lan also understood them.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Originally, everyone encouraged their children to study hard so that they could leave the poor land and not have to work in the fields. Now, the final way out for those who studied was to go to the countryside to farm, so... I guess those educated youths were very resentful. Especially when there were several sisters and brothers in the family, and they didn't have to go to the countryside, but they were forced to go. That was naturally even more unbalanced.

Outside, Han Qingsong did not let the educated youth follow Dawang for the whole training. After they ran four laps around the village, he let them do some finishing exercises in front of the village.

Except for Shen Yu, everyone else was about to collapse on the ground, but many of them were still running and walking.

"Today is a trial. Tomorrow morning, we will officially start. Gather at the brigade headquarters at 5 o'clock. If you are late, you will be punished with two lashes. If you miss a day of training, you will be punished with five lashes. Go to the branch secretary to accept the punishment. Those who do not accept the punishment will be deemed to have withdrawn and will not be held responsible in the future."

He didn't mind if they ran slowly and had little strength, but if they didn't take the assembly time seriously, that was a bad attitude, and he wouldn't waste any time to manage them. Moreover, he was only responsible for helping them train, and the rest was left to the branch secretary.

Glancing at them, he continued, "At noon and in the evening, the squad leader can lead the team to run a few laps to get used to the routine. We will increase the intensity of the training tomorrow."

Shen Yu agreed, and the others were trembling with fear but did not dare to say anything.

Even the argumentative person behaved well in front of Han Qingsong, keeping his mouth tightly shut and not uttering a single inappropriate word.

Han Qingsong: "If you have any questions, please consult Da Wang and Er Wang. They will be responsible for waking you up tomorrow."

"Yes." The educated youth responded weakly and almost sat down on the ground.

Han Qingsong ignored them and said, "Disband." He turned around and went home.

As soon as Han Qingsong left, Xu Dongxing and Wu Wenyi sat down on the ground, completely unlike their previous attitude of disdaining the chicken shit and dog shit in the countryside.

Xu Dongxing panted and started to pull his hair. Wu Wenyi looked over and said, "Oh, where's Chi Fengshou? Why don't you see him? Will he be punished for missing the training today?"

Five lashes for absence? I get beaten as soon as I arrive?

Chi Min's face changed, "Shen Yu, no...it's not that serious." She thought he was just threatening her, and it would be too domineering if he really hit her.

Sanwang smiled and said, "You can't escape that."

Xiao Wang: "Dad said I can quit by default."

Erwang: "Brother Shen Yu, you have to remind the late educated youth that if he does not accept the punishment today and tacitly withdraws, our family will not invite him to sleep, and my father will not supervise his training. Please do as he pleases."

Shen Yu nodded, "Okay." He looked at Chi Min, "Chi Min, please communicate with him. If he wants to quit, please earn work points and cook for himself. We don't welcome him in Class 72."

Chi Min looked very unhappy, "Shen Yu, let him be lenient on the first day. He didn't do it on purpose."

Shen Yu: "Since Uncle Han has the rules, let's follow them."

Sanwang: "Of course, my elder brother and I..."

Da Wang glared at him.

Sanwang laughed and scratched his head.

Shen Yu stopped talking about this and looked at Da Wang, "Let's buy a basketball and play basketball together when we have a chance."

Although Da Wang knew about basketball, he had never played it. "The county supply and marketing cooperative has it," he said.

Fan Xiao immediately raised his hand: "I, I'll pass the ball."

Zhao Mingjie: "Fan Xiao, can you still play basketball?"

Fan Xiao snorted, "You underestimate me. If I get serious, I'm better than you."

Zhao Mingjie saw her with a disheveled face, a face full of sweat and dust. She didn't know where she sat down to rest, but she casually patted herself on the dust and rubbed it all over her face. Now... haha.

Hearing about playing basketball, Erwang and Sanwang were also very interested, "Brother, let's go to the county to buy a basketball."

They also saved money.

Dawang: "We don't have enough money."

Xiao Wang immediately said, "I'll chip in."

Fan Xiao: "I, I pass the ball!"

Da Wang: “…” Although he wanted to play, he didn’t want to share a ball with the educated youth because they were not alone and it would be troublesome.

At this time Lin Lan came out and invited them to eat.

Fan Xiao and the others were extremely jealous when they heard that Lin Lan was having dinner at her house. They still had to go to the main army to cook!

Lin Lan heartlessly ignored Fan Xiao's eyes, which showed her eagerness to be invited to dinner by her, and went home to eat.

Xiaowang told Lin Lan that his brother wanted to buy a basketball.

Lin Lan thought for a moment and asked Han Qingsong, "Third brother, if you go to the county for a meeting, how much is it?"

Han Qingsong: “23.”

Lin Lan: “!!” I didn’t ask, I didn’t expect it to be so expensive. Sure enough, food is cheap at this time, and everything else is not cheap. 23 yuan to buy a basketball, it’s really hard to part with it, unless you are in school or work, most people really don’t buy it.

Han Qingsong said, "There are discarded stationery and sports supplies in the unit. Let me take a look at them later."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Lin Lan said happily.

The quality is good at this time, and the ones that are eliminated should be playable.

Da Wang and his friends are also very happy.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Lan sent Han Qingsong to work, and when she came back, the children were almost ready to go to school.

Lin Lan: "Focus on class and don't think about basketball."

Sanwang: "Haha, Mom, you really understand me."

Seeing the children running away with laughter, Lin Lan wanted to find Dong Huaihua to arrange the promotional content later, but she heard a quarrel coming from the team. She went to take a look and found that it was Chi Fengshou and Shen Yu who were quarreling, and Liu Guifa, Dong Huaihua, and Chi Min were trying to persuade them to stop. Fan Xiao, Gao Lu, Zhao Mingjie and others were not there, probably because they went to work?

Chi Fengshou: "Where are you trying to isolate me? You are the class leader and you have the final say. I can't say anything good about you, you have the final say!"

Shen Yu: "You don't understand rules? There are rules in school, do we need rules when we go to the countryside?"

"Who stipulated that we have to do morning exercises when we go to the countryside? We get whipped if we're late, and we get whipped if we're absent. Do they think they're fascists? So overbearing?" Chi Fengshou's eyes turned red. "We've worked so hard to come so far to the countryside, shouldn't they be considerate of us? Shouldn't they let us have a good rest?"

Shen Yu: "Just because you said that, it's not unfair for Director Han to punish you."

"Hello, you are excellent. When you go to the countryside, you should adapt to the local customs, right? I didn't know that you are not only an excellent student, but also a first-class farmer."

Liu Guifa would not try to persuade them to argue, after all, he could not win the argument over the educated youth.

Dong Huaihua couldn't get a word in either. She tried to persuade him at first, but she was soon confused by Chi Fengshou's twisted logic. She was so angry that she just listened without saying anything, but she couldn't understand everything she heard. Because when they were arguing, they would start talking about the Soviet Union, fascism, and the Communist Manifesto.

What does quarreling have to do with this? You don't understand bullying country folk, do you?

She just watched the excitement.

Although Chi Fengshou doesn't talk in daily life, he is very explosive when he quarrels. He is completely ruthless and says whatever he thinks without any scruples. He is not worth watching because of his arguing skills, martial arts, literary skills and righteousness.

Seeing Lin Lan coming over, Dong Huaihua immediately called her and said with a smile: "Come quickly, the quarrels among the educated youth are really interesting to watch."

Lin Lan: "It's time, aren't you going to work?"

Dong Huaihua: "They all went to work. Didn't you see that we were the only ones watching the excitement? Where's Liu Chuncai? Let him come and see and learn how cultured people quarrel."

Lin Lan: “…” You guys shouldn’t ruin the atmosphere of the quarrel like this.

Dong Huaihua had already come to watch half of the game, asked around, and found out what happened in the morning.

Today it was Chi Fengshou and Chi Min's turn to fetch water and cook, but Chi Fengshou was not happy to do it. He felt that the brigade should provide them with food when they came to the countryside, because when they were sent to the countryside, they were told that everything belonged to the brigade and the working people! Why should they be asked to cook? They had never learned how to cook.

As a result, Shen Yu said that he helped to cook and asked Chi Fengshou to go to the secretary to receive punishment in order to avoid the five lashes during the morning exercise training.

Chi Fengshou exploded all of a sudden and let him get beaten? He doesn't want to go to the countryside! Send him back quickly!

Shen Yu let him withdraw from the educated youth class and find his own way out. He could go wherever he wanted and no one would bother him.

Chi Fengshou didn't do anything, so why don't we care? He didn't want to go to the countryside, he was accepted by the brigade, so why don't we care?

After listening to Dong Huaihua, Lin Lan frowned, "He doesn't like to talk much. I think he is shy."

How could I know that he was hiding a killer weapon?

She said, "You don't have to be nervous, Chi Zhiqing. Director Han said that the five lashes were not aimed at you, and you don't have to be lashed. He just said that there are rules for morning exercises, and the punishment is up to the branch secretary to decide. You can avoid the lashes and do lap running instead."

Chi Fengshou glanced at her and said stiffly, "Captain Lin, don't worry. I have no opinion on you and Director Han."

Lin Lan: I know, you are just venting your dissatisfaction by making indirect accusations, but we haven't offended you. If you are dissatisfied, just do it with the people who sent you to the countryside. Why are you showing off here?

She said, "I'm sorry, we have something to say to you. Can you pack your bags and move out of my house?"

Although the educated youth site would be repaired in a few days, she didn't want to see Chi Fengshou even once.

Chi Fengshou stared at her with eyes wide open in disbelief. "What did you say? How can you be so unreasonable? Just speaking from the facts, how can you retaliate?"

He felt that Lin Lan did not play by the rules. They argued and quarreled, but they lived their lives as they should. How could she cut off the source of the trouble? This was cheating! This was irresponsible!

Lin Lan said coldly: "Shen Zhiqing is right. Going to the countryside has its own rules, and our Shanzui Village has its own rules. If you want to move in, you must abide by the rules. Our family is only temporarily helping the brigade to settle the educated youth, not taking in radicals."

“You, you——” Chi Fengshouzhang blushed, “You are in cahoots with each other! You are isolating our comrades!”

Chi Min quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Just admit your mistake and accept the punishment. It's no big deal."

"I'm not wrong!" Chi Fengshou stiffened his neck, and every pimple on his face glowed with stubbornness. "What kind of punishment is this? You asked me to go to the countryside, and I did. What's wrong with me?"

Dong Huaihua said: "You are right, you are right, you are very right, you should go to work and earn work points."

Chi Min held her stomach, she hadn't had breakfast yet, Shen Yuyi was angry and didn't cook, making everyone hungry, she thought she could only go to Han Dasao's house to get something to eat to fill her stomach. She asked Chi Fengshou to apologize to Lin Lan as soon as possible, otherwise if he was really kicked out, where would he live?

Chi Fengshou felt that Lin Lan was unreasonable. She actually used this to threaten him! She was simply an unreasonable woman.

Lin Lan said: "Everyone who is a late educated youth will encounter difficulties and troubles, but you can't impose your troubles on others. Your troubles are not caused by us, but now you have brought us troubles. Do you dare to say that you are right?"

Chi Fengshou was stunned and wanted to say that he was right.

Lin Lan: "Okay, you feel that society has let you down, the school has let you down, your family has let you down, and you have resentment. But what's wrong with us? We work from sunrise to sunset, and we work as hard as we can to support ourselves and our families. Is that wrong? You come here and don't follow our rules. You don't want to work or pay. You just want a place to sleep and eat, and no one should disturb you and immerse you in your own world? Do you think you are still a three-year-old child? In our team, even a three-year-old child wouldn't dare to act so unreasonably!"

At the end, her face darkened. "Go and take your luggage away now. If you don't, I'll throw it out. If you don't believe me, just try it." She snorted, "I always keep my word."

"Captain Lin!" Chi Min apologized on behalf of Chi Fengshou, "Please don't take it personally. He, he just feels really bad. He didn't mean to target anyone."

Chi Fengshou: "No need to beg her. What do these self-righteous guys know?" As he said that, he strode past Lin Lan and ran to Lin Lan's house to pack his luggage.

Dong Huaihua pulled Lin Lan over to take a look, Liu Guifa followed, and Shen Yu and Chi Min also hurried over to take a look.

Chi Fengshou ran into the house, packed his luggage with a bang, and then sorted out his clothes and some belongings, making a lot of noise.

Chi Min was very embarrassed and urged him, "Chi Fengshou, what are you doing? Don't make things so awkward. It's useless."

Chi Fengshou: "I won't compromise, and no one can threaten me!"

Lin Lan: "Chi Zhiqing, I'm sorry, the soap you picked up is not yours, it belongs to Fan Xiao."

Chi Fengshou was stunned for a moment, and immediately took it out and threw it aside, "I didn't see it."

He carried his luggage and stormed out, "I won't stay here even if you beg me."

Dong Huaihua: "Slowly educated youth, don't worry about it. No one is asking you to stay here."

Chi Fengshou originally wanted to find the team leader and the branch secretary to make arrangements, but these two people were busy working in the fields every day and were busier than the other members, so they could not be found at all.

When he got angry, he went back to the brigade headquarters and said, "I'll sleep here."

Chi Min: "There is no kang here, where are you going to sleep?"

Chi Fengshou pointed to the haystack in the corner and said, "Isn't that a bed? France, hardship, and power can never make us bow our heads."

Shen Yu was too lazy to care about him anymore and followed Liu Guifa to work.

After everyone left, Chi Min was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Why are you so stubborn? Everyone is doing drills, but you are the only one? It's only the first day. If you admit your mistake, the secretary will just say it won't happen again. Can he really hit you? What are you doing?"

Chi Feng retracted his sneer and not only did he not go to work, but he spread out his quilt on the haystack and began to take a nap.

Chi Min was so angry that she ignored him and ran away. She was starving and had to go to Han's sister-in-law's house to find something to eat before she went to work.

When the educated youth quarreled at the work site, the other members of the community who were at work did not know about it, but the children in the school could watch.

Sanwang couldn't sit still after hearing all the noise, so he slipped out to listen to the whole thing. When he heard Chi Fengshou actually talking about his parents, he immediately ran back to report to his family.

Mai Sui: "I think he deserves a beating. He deserved a beating that morning."

Xiao Wang: "If you make a mistake, you must be beaten. If you don't, you won't learn your lesson, right, Xiao San Ge?"

Sanwang: "... Fight!"

Erwang saw his elder brother's dark face and immediately said, "Brother, this matter cannot be resolved by force."

Da Wang looked at him.

Erwang smiled and said, "Leave it to me. You go to class and tell them I have to go home for something." Then he ran out.

Sanwang wanted to follow out of curiosity, but was pulled back by Dawang.

Sanwang: "Brother, what is Second Brother doing?"

Dawang: "Go to class."

Xiao Wang: "Sister, where is my second brother doing?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "He must have gone to find the captain."

Erwang found the captain and enthusiastically expressed his willingness to help him set rules for the troublesome educated youth. "Grandpa, my parents always said that there is no order without rules, and I think that's right."

Captain: "Of course, I think that's right."

He also heard about the late harvest incident and was so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to it and really wanted to return it.

"Erwang, what's your idea?"

Erwang smiled and said, "Grandpa, you have your own ideas, why are you asking me?"

The captain: "A beating? That doesn't seem like a good idea. How about letting your mother do it?"

Erwang: "..." He reminded: "Grandpa, it is human nature to want to do light work and eat good food, isn't it?"

The captain nodded. "That's right. We all want that."

Erwang smiled and said, "So, isn't he a troublemaker? How can he eat without working?"

The captain clapped his hands and said, "Oh, yes, why didn't I think of that?"

Erwang: "Grandpa, you feel sorry for them because they left their hometown. You don't argue with them, but you still need to teach them a lesson, otherwise it will be difficult to manage them."

The two of them whispered to each other, Erwang went back to class, and the captain was confident.

He sent someone to bring back the rations for the educated youths, stipulating that "each person receives one jin of rations per day, two liang in the morning, four liang at noon and in the evening, and the next meal after work that day." Not going to work means no food! I don't believe that I can't deal with him! Little brat.

This pound of food is naturally not the kind of food supplied in the city, but the kind commonly eaten by rural residents, mainly a mixture of dried sweet potatoes, corn, sorghum, soybeans and other grains.

In the countryside, wheat was mainly collected as public grain and sold as surplus grain, so the members had very little. Most members kept some for festivals and were reluctant to eat it on a daily basis, so the team leader distributed it to the educated youth in the same way.

The result was that Chi Fengshou was unable to do morning exercises or work, and did not receive food at noon. “Why don’t you give me food?” Chi Fengshou was furious.

No one had the energy to pay attention to him at this moment, and the educated youth were all starving to death.

In the morning, Shen Yu was angry because of the late harvest and didn't cook, so everyone was hungry. Fan Xiao had brought her own candy snacks, so she ate some. Xu Dongxing, Wu Wenyi, Chi Min and others bought snacks from members' homes to make ends meet, but Gao Lu and Zhao Mingjie suffered.

They went to work hungry in the morning.

The branch secretary did not make it difficult for them and asked them to go to the cotton fields to catch bugs. This job was easy and all that was required was good eyesight.

The male educated youth were fine, but the female educated youth were so scared that they screamed. Fan Xiao was so weak that she couldn't even walk when she saw the insects squirming. Later, the branch secretary asked them to do something else, which was to turn over the sweet potato vines. After the rain, the vines had to be turned in the opposite direction, otherwise they would take root and disperse nutrients, affecting the growth of the sweet potatoes. This job was okay, but they found green insects with black stripes on the sweet potato vines, as big as thumbs!

It's so scary!

I was in such a state of agony for the whole morning, feeling tired and hungry that I almost wanted to lie down on the ground.

After finally returning home and trying to cook, I found out that the food had been taken away and everyone was required to collect daily rations.

When I got the rations back, I found out it was mixed grain noodles. It was... so... I was in tears.

These were things they would never even look at before, but when hunger came they no longer cared about anything else, their eyes lit up and they hurried back to cook.

Chi Fengshou was yelling inside. He had no strength left and his stomach was growling from two meals. "I, I'll cook today."

Shen Yu: "No need, you don't need to be with us in the future."
