When she went to work in the afternoon, she wore a new pair of gloves.
Wu Lili saw it and asked, "Comrade Jiang, where did you get this? I didn't see you wearing it this morning."
Jiang Baige glanced at the gloves and replied, "My mother knitted them for me before I left home. She said it's cold here and I should wear them to keep warm."
"I had a few blisters on my hands this morning, so I had to take it out and wear it. It's a pity that it's so white, and I may not be able to wash it clean in the future."
When the sisters Wu Lili and Wu Juan heard her say this, they were almost envious. The wool was so expensive and you needed a ticket to buy it. They had never even seen it.
Comrade Jiang actually wore it to work. What a waste of a good thing.
Wu Lili labeled Jiang Baige a fool in her mind. "Why don't you just find some cloth and make these gloves yourself? Wool is so expensive! What a waste."
Wu Juanze thought that Comrade Jiang's family must be very wealthy, otherwise it would be impossible for him to knit gloves with wool.
Jiang Baige didn't care what they thought. Her hands felt much better this afternoon.
Grandma Meng next door didn't come that afternoon, so they had to go to work and pick up the stones and grass roots they found on the soil because no one helped them.
The three female comrades were left far behind by the people in front of them, and it started to rain lightly not long after they started working.
The people working in the fields left work early, and several educated youth also returned to the educated youth compound.
Outside the courtyard of the educated youth compound, there is a private plot belonging to the educated youth, which was allocated by the brigade to the educated youth for them to grow their own vegetables.
Zhang Hongyang thought that since his clothes were all wet and it was still early before dark, he just dug the ground.
Zhang Hongyang said, "Take a female comrade to boil water and cook."
"Let's dig up the rest of the land and plant the vegetables when it gets warmer. If we don't till the soil now, we'll have to work in the dark when the brigade gets busy."
Wu Juan's hands were rubbed raw in the afternoon, so she had to hold them up with her sleeves when working.
She wanted to rest, but she didn't dare say it.
Thinking of Wu Juan's hands, Jiang Baige said, "Comrade Wu Juan's hands were rubbed this afternoon. Let her go cook!"
After hearing what Jiang Baige said, the others had no objection.
Wu Lili naturally wanted to rest, but her hand was not broken, so she had to persevere. Even though she was indignant in her heart, she still went to work.
I thought to myself, "Comrade Jiang is really nosy. It doesn't matter who cooks. Who asked her to make the arrangements? She's really looking for trouble."
Before dark, they had dug out a large piece of land, and their clothes were naturally soaked.
Wu Juan was not a lazy person either. She boiled some water and filled all the thermoses.
He prepared dinner and fried the dishes by himself.
Jiang Baige and the others got their clothes wet from working. After they finished digging the ground, they went home and took a hot bath.
