Chen Defu was about to leave when he remembered something. "Oh, by the way, if you don't have enough food, just ask the old educated youth to borrow some. Don't argue with me. You all know it, right?"
"As for how to partner up, please ask Zhang Zhiqing and the others for details."
"Also, since you just arrived last night, you should rest up and don't have to work today."
"If you have nothing to do, you can walk around the village and get familiar with it. If you need anything, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."
"Take a day off today and go back to work early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, I thought about it again and didn’t think of anything else for the time being.
"Well, that's basically it. I'm going back now."
After explaining everything, he turned and left.
"Village Chief, take care."
Several educated youth politely watched the village chief leave.
Jiang Baige was bored by what the village chief said just now. She had never done farm work before. She had only seen what a hoe looked like in pictures on the Internet.
Wu Lili was very happy to hear that she didn't have to go to work.
"Cousin, do you want to buy anything? The village chief said we can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it."
Wu Juan wanted to buy something, but she didn't have the money to spend.
There were only twenty-odd dollars in my bag, and I wouldn't dare spend it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Shaking his head, "Forget it, whatever's useful now is fine. I'll write a letter home later to let my mother and the others know I'm safe and sound, so they can rest assured."
Hearing her cousin say that she wanted to write a letter, Wu Lili also remembered that when she left home, her mother asked her to write a letter home.
"Then you don't have to write. Just tell my family about my situation and let my mother know."
She thought to herself, "My cousin is reporting the safety of two people at once, which saves us the money of sending a letter."
Thinking of this, Wu Lili was secretly happy, thinking that she was too smart.
Jiang Baige went to the kitchen and cooked with Li Yan.
She had never cooked with firewood before, so she had to learn it now so that she would be able to do it in the future.
They cooked millet porridge for breakfast. In the past, when Li Yan washed the millet, she would just grab a handful and it was enough for the two of them to eat until they were half full.
She and Zhang Hongyang didn't have much food to begin with, so they had to save some every month and send it back home.
Now that there were a few more people, she gritted her teeth and grabbed two more.
But the village chief had just delivered rations for a few educated youth, so she didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Yu Shengli brought their food to the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Comrade Li Yan, our rations are here. Please see how much we can eat for breakfast. You can make the decision."
Li Yan listened and replied with a smile: "These are all raw grains. How can we eat them if they haven't been shelled yet?"
Yu Shengli asked, "What is raw grain?"
Jiang Baige had never heard of what raw grains were, and it seemed that the newcomers in the room didn't understand either.
Li Yan then said, "Raw grains are grains that haven't been shelled yet. You can't cook them directly or they'll get stuck in your throat."
"Go and look at the rice in the rice jar. You have to eat the rice that way."
Zhang Hongyang walked in and said, "Just leave it here. We'll go grind it back together when we have time."
There was food at home, so Li Yan was not worried. She simply added some water and grabbed a handful of rice from the bag and put it into the pot.
Jiang Baige added firewood to the stove. The firelight warmed her body and made her little face red.
Just now, when Jiang Baige heard Wu Juan say outside that she was going to write a letter home, she was very conflicted about whether she should also write a letter to let her father and mother know that she was safe.
If I were to write, I wouldn’t know what to write.
If I don't write it, wouldn't it be too cruel after all, I have taken over someone else's daughter's body?
She was still struggling with the question of whether she should be responsible for the other person's parents now that she was using the other person's body.
She was still in a daze, and the meal was ready soon.
After Li Yan finished preparing the dishes, she called out, "Brother Hongyang, Comrade Wu Lili, Comrade Wu Juan, and you two male comrades, have you taken your bowls? The meal is ready."
When Wu Lili heard the call for dinner, she hurried into the house to get her lunch box.
Jiang Baige also took the lunch box. She had two lunch boxes, one for eating and one for soup. However, in this situation, there was not even a drop of oil in it, so the idea of drinking soup was too extravagant.
She just smelled the aroma of pickled vegetables being fried in the pot. The vegetable had a bitter taste, and she was sure it was not tasty without even tasting it.
While no one was in the room, she quietly took out a bag of pickled mustard greens from the space.
When the pickled mustard greens appeared in her hands, she was stunned. There was pickled mustard greens in the bag, but there was not a single word on the packaging bag. The bag was also transparent, so she could see the quality of the contents clearly at a glance.
Jiang Baige muttered, "There's no place of origin, brand, barcode, date, or recipe."
"This is the first time I've seen packaging like this. Could it be that the space has been automatically erased? Why didn't I notice this a few days ago?"
Thinking of those black pickles, "Never mind, just eat them first."
She tore open the bag, poured the pickled mustard into the lunch box, and threw the empty bag back into the space.
I was just trying it out to see if it would work, but I didn’t expect this space to be so good. I can take things out and put them back into the space.
Jiang Baige hasn't had the time to study this space these days, and she just thinks it won't be too late to think about it when she has time.
She didn't know how many grams the big bag of pickled mustard greens contained, but she poured half of it into the lunch box. She closed the lid and went to the kitchen.
At the dinner table, everyone ate in silence. No one spoke. Only the sound of drinking porridge could be heard.
Jiang Baige put the lunch box on the table and opened the lunch box containing shredded pickled mustard greens.
"I brought this from home. It won't keep long, so why not share it with everyone? We'll save ourselves the trouble of throwing it away if it goes bad."
