Another night passed, and Su Tian got up, stepped out of her room, and stretched.
In the countryside, the mornings lack the hustle and bustle of the city, but possess a unique tranquility and peace that belongs to nature, offering profound solace to the soul in this pure land.
For Su Tian, who was struggling to survive in the apocalypse, this was nothing short of a blessing from heaven.
In the apocalypse, corpses littered the landscape, piled up like barren hills. Their clothes were torn, stained with blood, and reeked of a pungent, metallic stench.
Therefore, Su Tian cherishes the life she has now, works hard to earn work points, and strives to make a living.
She believes that as long as one is not terminally ill, all problems are not problems and can be solved.
Another day of successfully brainwashing herself. After washing up, Su Tian took out three meat buns from her space and made a cup of malted milk powder for a delicious breakfast.
I bought meat buns at the state-run restaurant in town last time, and I've only eaten five today, so I still have fifteen left. Having extra food makes one feel at ease; a full stomach gives you plenty of energy.
"Chunling, let's go, time to get to work," Su Tian called to her best friend.
"Hey, here I am."
Today's work involved digging sweet potatoes. After that, we'll be harvesting peanuts tomorrow.
Therefore, when working in the countryside in the south, there is no rest all year round except when it rains or typhoons.
Many educated youth only realized the hardships of farmers after arriving in the countryside and developed immense admiration for them.
Generally speaking, the educated youth in Songjia Village were of relatively high quality and did not consider themselves to be from the city, nor did they look down on rural people with a superior attitude.
They all treat themselves as villagers, working alongside them and patiently asking for their help with anything they don't understand or know how to do.
The villagers also treat them like their own children, patiently teaching them about farming. After all, theory can't compare to practice, and farmers have more practical experience.
Today, Su Tian was paired with Ma Chunling. Su Tian dug while Ma Chunling picked the vegetables.
Both of them are quick-witted and have excellent coordination, moving very rapidly.
The aunties around the neighborhood saw this and liked them very much. Those with sons were secretly looking into it, wanting to marry Su Tian and Ma Chunling as their wives.
"Su Qingqing, Ma Qingqing, do you have partners?" Aunt Wang asked.
“Aunt Wang, look at what you’re saying. Chunling and I are only 17 or 18 years old. We’re still young, so let’s not talk about feelings for now. We still need to contribute to building a beautiful village.”
“Su Zhiqing, your awareness has always been so high. You are still young now, so let’s talk about it in a couple of years.”
"What I like most about my aunt is this: she has a great sense of propriety and doesn't interrogate people like other aunts. She's the best of the best."
Before going to the countryside, I was afraid that I would encounter an unreasonable and shrewish aunt.
Who knew that after being in the countryside for so long, I would discover that everyone in our Songjia Village is of noble character, reasonable, does not bully educated youth, is quick and efficient, and loves to help the weak.
Especially you aunties, you didn't hold back, you taught us everything you knew, which is why we were able to work so quickly, earn so many work points, and support ourselves. Before coming to the countryside, I never believed I was such a capable person.
Ma Chunling was stunned after hearing this; Su Tian was really good at talking.
Look at the aunties around you, they're all smiling so broadly their eyes are practically closed. They're so good at sweet-talking people!
As Ma Chunling picked sweet potatoes, she thought to herself: "No, no, no, it's just too amazing. No wonder she's so popular among men, women, and children."
"Oh, Su, we're not as good as you say. It's because of you that we've come to appreciate you," Aunt Wang said with a smile.
"All is well, all is well, all of us women are well. We can work in the fields, cook meals, and do everything that men can do, but men can't do what we women can do."
After Su Tian finished speaking, everyone around her burst into laughter.
The men all felt that the atmosphere on the women's side was so good. If you said they were slacking off, their hands never stopped. If they weren't slacking off, why were they so happy about working?
As the old leader said, "Women hold up half the sky." In Su Tian's opinion, women hold up an entire sky.
Su Tian is happy, but someone else is unhappy.
He Hua and Chen Gang, that despicable couple, just can't stand seeing Su Tian doing well.
She should be like them, not having enough to eat, sleep, or wear.
Since going to the countryside, Su Tian has maintained her fair and delicate appearance, without dark circles under her eyes or dry and frizzy hair.
He Hua wanted to report Su Tian for being lazy, but Su Tian was more hardworking than the men in the village.
Seeing Su Tian's increasingly fair complexion, she couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred.
She touched her face and looked at her hair, which was becoming increasingly dark and rough.
What could be done to make Su Tian less happy? She couldn't help but recall the old widower Su Tian had married in her previous life.
After Su Tian married that old widower, she was tormented every day, and her appearance was heartbreaking.
Since marrying the old widower, Su Tian's face has become haggard, her eyes are sunken and bloodshot, and her gaze reveals endless exhaustion and despair.
She saw that Su Tian's originally rosy cheeks had turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color, as if the vitality of her life had been forcibly drained away.
Moreover, his lips were chapped and peeling, and he was trembling slightly, as if telling of unbearable pain.
Moreover, the old widower was so thin he looked like a withered twig, and his clothes were tattered.
She also discovered that Su Tian's skin was covered with scars, including bruises, deep scratches, and burn marks, each wound testifying to the torment she had suffered.
He Hua secretly made up her mind to give Su Tian a husband.
She decided to go to the old widower's house after work and secretly discuss giving him a wife.
Su Tian and her colleagues were still working enthusiastically, completely unaware that someone was plotting to harm her.
Her ex-boyfriend, Chen Gang, was beaten half to death by Su Tian a couple of days ago. He could only squat on the ground picking sweet potatoes and dared not appear in front of Su Tian at all. It was because Su Tian's beatings were too painful, the pain went straight to the bone.
The accountant's youngest daughter, Zou Daying, even stopped working so she could see Chen Gang all the time.
She even willingly gave up her work points to Chen Gang, picking sweet potatoes while secretly glancing at him from time to time.
Zou Daying had five eggs in her pocket, intending to give three to Chen Gang and two to herself.
If Su Tian knew, she could only say: Wow, even the heroine of Nomura can't compare to Zou Daying.
The male protagonist in the novel is really amazing; one or two women like him. Su Tian just wants to complain; all she can say is that the protagonist's halo is truly incredible.
As they worked, it was time to finish. Su Tian returned the hoe and went back to the educated youth settlement.
