After hearing Yun Yan's words, Qian Qian immediately changed into long-sleeved clothes, but unfortunately she didn't have a straw hat.
When they walked outside and saw Li Shuwan's outfit, they were stunned.
High heels, a white dress? Was she going to the fields or a fashion show? Yun Yan and Qian Qian exchanged a speechless glance.
"Li Zhiqing, can't you go to the fields dressed like this?"
"Then what should we dress like? Like you two? Look at you two now. You don't look like city people at all. You look like country girls."
Yun Yan stopped Qian Qian who was about to argue with her and said, "Call her a country girl, but I hope this young lady won't come back crying."
Zhang Yuan counted the number of people and said, "Everyone is here. Let's go. We'll be late soon."
Yun Yan and Qian Qian walked towards the field, chatting and laughing. When they arrived, a lot of people had already gathered there, and everyone was waiting for the team leader to assign today's tasks.
Yun Yan took a look and saw that the fields were green and full of vitality.
The villagers around him all had sallow complexions and looked haggard, their clothes were full of patches, and it was estimated that they even had problems getting enough food and clothing.
But each of them had a smile on their face, and they were positive and optimistic. This is something you don’t see in the 21st century. Even though people back then no longer have to worry about food and drink, it’s still hard to see such smiles!
The villagers looked at the new educated youth curiously and started discussing.
"Who is that? How can you work dressed like that?"
"This must be the new Li Zhiqing. Goudan's mother said she looks like a fairy. She must be her."
"What's the point of being pretty and well-dressed? You still have to work in the fields. With her condition, I don't think she can even swing a hoe."
"That educated youth with the round face is still the best. You can tell she's blessed. You can tell from her figure and butt that she's good at giving birth."
…
After a while, the team leader came over. Liu Defu first assigned tasks to the villagers and the old educated youth, and then looked at the new educated youth. He couldn't help but feel a headache. What should these new female educated youth be assigned to do?
Especially after seeing Li Shuwan's outfit, his head hurt even more: "Li Zhiqing, how are you going to work in the fields dressed like this?"
"Hurry back and change your clothes before coming back."
"But I only have a skirt. Besides, does the captain have to care what I wear when I come to work?"
Liu Defu ignored her after hearing what she said. He had already reminded her anyway, so she just had to not run away crying.
"Today is your first day on the job, so I'll give you some easy tasks to help you get used to it. The women will weed the cornfield, and the men will learn how to plant peanuts."
Liu Defu waved his hand and told them to go find their team leaders. These educated youth left it to the team leaders to worry about. Before leaving, he said, "You all need to work hard and don't even think about being lazy. Otherwise, when the food is distributed, you won't even have enough food for yourself."
Yun Yan came to her team and walked straight towards two aunts and aunties who were chatting while working.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm the educated youth assigned to work with you today. My name is Yunyan. What's your name, Auntie?"
"You can just call me Aunt Zhang. Her last name is Li, so you can call her Aunt Li."
"This little girl is really pretty, fair and tender."
"Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were definitely much prettier than me when they were young. My main advantage is my fair skin. As the old saying goes, a fair complexion hides a hundred flaws."
"This girl is really good at talking. Come over here and I'll teach you how to weed."
Yunyan had done the job of weeding corn before, so she got the hang of it easily.
"The kids in this city are so smart. They learn things quickly."
Aunt Zhang was also happy to see Yunyan get the hang of it so quickly.
"It's not me who's smart, it's clearly you, Aunt Zhang, who taught me well."
The three of them were chatting and laughing while working, but the other educated youth were not so harmonious.
Li Shuwan came to the field wearing a skirt and high heels. As soon as she stepped on the ground, her heels sank into the soil. It took her a long time to pull them out. She also fell and her skirt and body were covered in mud, which made people around her laugh.
In the end, Li Shuwan ran away crying with her hands covering her face. Qian Qian and Chen Zhaodi also had their own problems. Zhou Yuanchao and Xu Weiguo were fine. After all, they had been trained frequently before, so this physical work would not be too difficult for them to do.
It was almost eleven o'clock. Yunyan said goodbye to Aunt Zhang and said she was going back to cook, then went back to the educated youth center.
When we returned to the educated youth site, the person in charge of cooking for the old educated youth also came back.
Yunyan looked at the leftovers from yesterday and decided to stir-fry some shredded radish and some spicy and sour cabbage, and have steamed sweet potatoes as the staple food.
The old educated youth only made some wild vegetable porridge and pancakes.
Not long after the meal was ready, everyone came back one after another. As soon as Qian Qian saw Yun Yan, she started complaining.
"Yun Yan, I'm almost exhausted. Weeding the corn is too difficult, and my team leader is so fierce."
"If you're tired, wash your hands and eat. After eating, take a good rest."
Even Yunyan felt tired, let alone those of them who had never worked in the fields. They just didn't know that the days ahead would only get more tiring.
Chen Zhaodi called Li Shuwan out to eat together. She looked very pale and her eyes were swollen.
This is what happens to the eldest daughter who has never been beaten. Her hard days are still ahead.
After lunch, Yunyan changed into pajamas, washed the dirty clothes she wore in the morning, and hung them on the bamboo pole outside to dry so that she could wear them again in the afternoon.
Qian Qian saw Yun Yan's actions and followed suit. When washing clothes, Yun Yan saw Chen Zhaodi washing the skirt that Li Shuwan wore in the morning. She guessed that Li Shuwan had given her some benefit.
