After He Hua finished eating, she continued to take more food into her basket. Ma Chunling was too embarrassed to say anything to her, so she could only watch helplessly as He Hua finished eating and took more food, and then ate it all.
He Hua stopped eating when she was almost full. These berries were really delicious. She was addicted after the first bite. She would go pick them next time without having to ask anyone else. He Hua thought to herself.
The other educated youth could only silently criticize He Hua's shameless behavior.
Chen Gang pretended not to see it, after all, he also wanted to eat more. He had been in the countryside for so long and his mouth was very bland. He was overjoyed to be able to touch the wick in He Hua's hand.
Ma Chunling had dug up some wild vegetables to cook for dinner, and everyone was eagerly anticipating the evening.
After finishing her wild vegetables, Su Tian sat on the bed and started flipping through her Chinese textbook again. Although she was busy, she couldn't give up studying. Even though there were still four years until the college entrance examination, she was confident that she could get into university.
Time passed by, and tonight she planned to eat a few meat buns and make do with a cup of malted milk powder.
She felt that life was getting better and better. The people in the village were simple and kind, and there were no bad people in the educated youth settlement. She felt very at ease living like this day by day.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Su Tian opened the door and saw that it was Zhou Dajun knocking.
“Su, the brigade leader just told me that you new educated youths have been here for exactly one month. After we hand over the grain tomorrow, the remaining rice will be distributed among everyone according to their work points. You can also go and get your share of the grain.”
"Okay, I understand, thank you," Su Tian said happily.
Su Tian calculated her work points: 26 days of work, 16 centimeters per day, about 400 centimeters, which could be exchanged for about 40 jin of rice.
There were no sweet potatoes or corn distributed this month because there hasn't been a harvest yet.
The rice you get can be husked at the brigade headquarters for a dime using a rice milling machine, and then the rice can be bagged.
Back then, rice was often mixed with rice husks, so the milled rice was a bit yellowish.
Unlike the rice you buy in the supermarket, it has no grains at all and is very white.
The thought of distributing grain made her imagine how spectacular it would be. It was the first time she had encountered something like this since she went to the countryside.
So, she was really looking forward to it.
With the moon high in the sky and a cool breeze occasionally blowing in from outside the window, Su Tian drifted off to sleep with this wonderful anticipation, and she had another good dream all night long.
