Li Lin woke up at around one in the afternoon, sat up, stretched, and massaged his sore legs before getting down and carrying a military water bottle into the mall.

I filled it with mineral water and sprayed sunscreen all over my body before leaving the mall.

"Knock, knock, knock, Linlin, it's time to go to work, get up quickly."

Hu Yingying came out and locked the door. Seeing that Li Lin's door was still closed, she walked over and knocked.

"Here it comes. Here it comes."

Li Lin slung the kettle over his shoulder, put a few biscuits in his pocket, threw the hemp rope into the backpack, and walked out carrying his own backpack.

"Didn't the team leader say to go to the warehouse to get a backpack? Linlin, why are you still carrying a backpack?" Hu Yingying asked in confusion when she saw Li Lin coming out with the backpack.

"The backpacks I received were for pig grass. Let's bring our own backpacks and collect firewood while we're collecting pig grass. I heard that dry leaves are the best for starting a fire. Wouldn't it be great if we could carry the grass back with us?" Li Lin heard this and turned around to lock the door while explaining.

"That's right. I'll go back and get the backpack now." When Hu Yingying heard what Li Lin said, she turned around and wanted to go back and get the backpack, but was stopped by Li Lin.

"We can just take one, and then we can each take half when we get back. If we take more, it will be a burden." After saying this, Li Lin pulled Li Lin out.

The two of them walked out of the educated youth site, and other educated youth also came out at the same time.

Seeing Li Lin carrying a backpack, Lin Meina asked in surprise, "Li Zhiqing, you're not really going to pick grass for pigs, are you?"

"Yes, Hu Zhiqing and I asked the team leader, and he agreed that we should go to collect grass for the pigs. So we have been going to collect grass for the pigs since this afternoon." Hearing this, Li Lin felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said that he was going to collect grass for the pigs.

Li Lin's words made the faces of the other educated youth, except Fang Mingyi and Zhu Liyan, change slightly.

Liu Lan, in particular, knew it was an easy job when she heard about cutting grass for pigs, and she immediately started yelling, "Why are you being asked to do such an easy job? This is not fair."

"You can also go find the captain. No one will stop you." After saying this, Li Lin said hello to Lin Meina and took Hu Yingying away.

"I'll go find the captain right away. I also want to go get grass for the pigs." Liu Lan saw Li Lin leaving and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Li.

"Liu Zhiqing, don't be impulsive. Cutting grass for pigs only earns you three work points a day, but by winter you won't be able to get even a few kilograms of food. What will you eat then?"

Zhao Li didn't mean to persuade Liu Lan out of kindness. She was just afraid that she would really go to collect grass for the pigs, and then she wouldn't be able to share a few pounds of food. Wouldn't they lose out?

So now she tried her best to dispel Liu Lan's impulse to go collect grass for pigs. In this way, she could earn a few more work points every day, and when winter comes, they can have a full winter.

"How much food can three work points buy?" Liu Lan swallowed her saliva and turned to Zhao Li to ask

"One work point is five cents."

After Zhao Li said this, she realized it was getting late and she would be late for work if she was any later, so she hurried to the field.

"One work point is five cents, which means three work points a day, 15 cents, can't buy two catties of coarse grains, a catty of fine grains. Is this crazy? If you earn so little, won't you starve in the winter?"

After listening to what Zhao Li said, Liu Lan counted on her fingers, then cursed and went to work in the fields obediently.

Li Lin and Hu Yingying didn't know that someone was calling them crazy. They came to the warehouse to get backpacks and sickles and went to the pigpen.

"Auntie Liu, we are here to collect grass for pigs. The team leader asked us to ask you what vegetables pigs eat, so that we don't make the wrong choice and make the pigs sick."

When they arrived at the pig pen, they saw an old lady feeding the pigs. Li Lin hurried over to greet her.
