"Shopping malls are still the best." Li Lin took a cup of milk tea and sighed while taking a bath.

After taking a bath, he lay down on the soft big bed and fell asleep.

“Knock, knock, knock, Linlin is up.”

Hu Yingying got up in the morning, prepared breakfast, and after eating, she saw that Li Lin's door was still closed, so she walked over and knocked on the door.

Li Lin was awakened in the mall, and quickly put on her clothes and left the mall. She opened the door and said embarrassedly, "I was a little tired yesterday and slept deeply."

"Go wash up quickly. I have some leftover porridge here. Come and eat it, then we can go get grass for the pigs." Hu Yingying saw that everyone had gotten up and hurried into the house to get some porridge.

Seeing this, Li Lin smiled and looked at Hu Yingying busying herself for her before going to fetch some water to wash up.

After finishing her meal, Li Lin went into the house, locked the door, sprayed some sunscreen, then put some beef jerky in her pocket and went out to collect grass for the pigs.

"Sister, you are here."

Daya, who worked in the pigpen, was helping Aunt Liu clean the pigpen. When she saw Li Lin and Hu Yingying coming over, she quickly greeted them with a smile.

"Well, Daya, you're here really early." Li Lin didn't expect Daya to come to the pigsty so early. Seeing her cleaning the pigsty, she sighed slightly.

"Sister, I won't go with you to pick grass for pigs today. You guys should go quickly, or it will be hot soon." Daya said, lowering her head and starting to do the work in her hands.

Li Lin and Hu Yingying knew that Daya had other work to do, so they didn't say anything. They took the backpack and sickle and went to the river to collect grass for the pigs.

"Yingying, let's try to finish mowing the four baskets of grass this morning. Then we'll go to the commune in the afternoon. The package that was mailed to my family should have arrived."

Li Lin was mowing the grass with her head down when she suddenly remembered that the package from home had almost arrived. She said to Hu Yingying:

"Now that you mention it, it seems like we have never sent a letter home, right?" Hu Yingying was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Li Lin and said

"Yes, I forgot about it because I was so busy all day. Let's hurry up and go to the commune in the afternoon."

When Li Lin thought that her parents would be worried because she didn't write a letter home, she quickened her work and tried to finish mowing the four baskets of grass as soon as possible.

Hu Yingying was the same. When she thought of her grandparents and her parents who were worried about her, she tried her best to speed up her movements.

So Aunt Liu in the pigpen saw the people coming back to deliver pig feed less than an hour later, and wondered what was wrong with these two educated youth and why they worked so impetuously?

"Auntie, we have finished harvesting the four baskets of pig grass. Please tell the scorekeeper that we will not come this afternoon." Li Lin unloaded the last basket of grass and poured it on the ground, wiping the sweat from his head with his hand.

"I understand." Aunt Liu nodded in understanding, agreeing to it.

Then Li Lin and Hu Yingying put the sickles into the backpack, returned them to the warehouse, found the team leader, and told him about their trip to the commune in the afternoon.

"Go early and come back early. Don't come back after dark. It's not safe for you two girls." After giving instructions, Zhang Jun went to work.

Seeing that the team leader agreed, the two of them hurried back to the Youth League Home, fetched water, washed up, changed their clothes, put some food in their pockets, and walked out hand in hand.

"Li Zhiqing, Hu Zhiqing, what are you doing?"

Zhao Li and her group came back from work exhausted and saw Li Lin and Hu Yingying going out in fancy clothes. They asked

"We have finished today's work. We have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let's go to the commune to buy some things." After saying this, Li Lin didn't look at the changed faces of the others, and walked out with Hu Yingying.

“It’s not fair. It’s not fair…”
