Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Wan Xue and the other two looked incredulous. They knew that Uncle Wu would never let his own donkey help him grind the mill, so it was good enough that he didn't curse.

"No way? Uncle Wu can help?" Lv Xiaotao, who was mending pants, almost got her hand pricked by the needle. She didn't believe it. When she first came to Jiangjia Village, she saw Uncle Wu scolding people. The people who brought up the matter were scolded so much that they didn't even grind their grain and went home directly.

Bai Lingling, who was standing by, didn't show it on her face, but she knew in her heart that this must be true.

Song Shuangshuang also knew what kind of person Grandpa Wu was. She just said that she got along well with Grandpa Wu when she came to the village before. Grandpa Wu happened to come to grind grain today. Seeing that she was having a hard time grinding by herself, she didn't know how long it would take for him to help.

After washing up and lying on the kang, Song Shuangshuang felt that she had lived a lot more. She was tired after a day of doing tasks to draw cards. Fortunately, she had the donkey... no, Uncle Wu helped, otherwise she would still be grinding the mill.

Song Shuangshuang suddenly remembered that the bottle of hand cream she got from drawing a card was still stored in the system. She transferred it to her luggage bag and took it out to study it. It was in an ordinary white bottle with no information on it except the three words "moisturizer".

Song Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask the system, "System, this is a three-no product? Why is there no information at all?"

System [I don't know either. Whatever is extracted is what it is. The host can try it out to see what the specific effects are.]

Song Shuangshuang was speechless for a moment. Try it? You definitely can't rub it on your face. It's okay to try it on the back of your hand. If you are allergic, wash it off immediately.

I opened it and saw that it was still green. Could it be a Chinese herbal medicine?

I smelled it and it did have some scent of Chinese herbal medicine, which made me feel relieved.

I took a little from the jar and rubbed it on the back of my hand. After waiting for a while, there was no adverse reaction, but there was no special effect either. Song Shuangshuang thought this moisturizer had something special about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her points!

Forget it, just think of it as buying hand cream and use it to wipe your hands.

Fortunately, although it looks green, there is no color if you apply a little on your hands.

He scooped a small piece from the jar again and rubbed it evenly on his hands.

Song Shuangshuang didn't want to go to bed so early. Seeing Fan Lanfang reading a book, she thought about it and decided to take out a book to read. She brought the original owner's book with her when she went to the countryside.

After all, which heroine who traveled to this era would not study? Which one would not apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University?

She wants to take the exam too! After all, she is not bad at studying in modern times.

Song Shuangshuang took out a book from her bag and started reading while leaning against the wall.

Bai Lingling had been paying attention to Song Shuangshuang. Seeing her reading, she curled her lips and thought to herself, "What a pretense!" She just couldn't believe that Song Shuangshuang wouldn't be tired after doing the same farm work for a day? In her house, washing clothes and cooking were all her jobs, but she was still exhausted today.

Still reading? She didn't even have the energy to wash the dishes, her hands were shaking so badly.

Now Song Shuangshuang looked like nothing had happened, and didn't look like she had just worked on the farm for a day.

Bai Lingling felt that Song Shuangshuang must have been lazy at work, otherwise why would she be different from her. And that old man must have bad intentions, otherwise why would he be so angry and glare at others but keep helping Song Shuangshuang.

If Song Shuangshuang knew what Bai Lingling was thinking, she would definitely be scolded again.

After all, he had worked on the farm all day and was injured before going to the countryside, so he felt a little exhausted. He felt sleepy after reading for a while, and fell asleep leaning against the wall with the book in his hand.

Tan Anjing hadn't slept yet. She drew another basin of well water and soaked her hands in the room. She poured the water out and went into the room to see Song Shuangshuang asleep. She tiptoed over and patted Song Shuangshuang twice, "Song Zhiqing, lie down and sleep."

Song Shuangshuang shuddered and dropped the book. She opened her eyes and asked, "Ah? I fell asleep?"

Tan Anjing smiled and said, "Yes, we are exhausted after a long day. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

Song Shuangshuang uttered a few "ohs" and brought her own quilt over to make the bed to sleep. During the day, the quilt was folded and placed against the kang, and just now Song Shuangshuang fell asleep half leaning on the quilt.

The two of them lay down and fell asleep soon after.

Wan Xue and the others had already adapted to it, so they were not as tired as Song Shuangshuang and the others, but they also turned off the kerosene lamps and prepared to go to bed. They usually went to bed at about this time.

Because they were tired after a whole day, they slept very deeply. Song Shuangshuang and the other two were woken up by the old educated youth.

Song Shuangshuang rubbed her eyes and raised her upper body. She tried to open her eyes and saw that it was Fan Lanfang. She suddenly woke up. "It's my turn to make breakfast today. I'm sorry, Fan Zhiqing, I overslept."

He suddenly sat up, changed his clothes and tidied his bedding. His hands and feet were so quick and agile that it seemed as if he had overslept during military training and was quickly tidying up his room.

Fan Lanfang had no time to stop him. After Song Shuangshuang put on her shoes and prepared to go out, she said, "We won't cook until we get back from work in the morning. I told you to get up because it's time to go to work. Hurry and wash your face."

Song Shuangshuang took a while to react. She had to go to work first and come back to cook and eat after the sun came out. She habitually thought that she should eat before going to work.

She covered her face in embarrassment and said, "I was confused in my sleep."

"Go wash up first, and if you have anything to eat, put it in your pocket." Fan Lanfang suggested. The three of them, old educated youth, had been working in the countryside for three or four years, but they still had the habit of carrying some food in their pockets when they went to work. Sometimes they were so hungry that they were dizzy, so they would either carry a baked potato or the leftover cakes from the previous day. When they were better off, they would carry a piece of candy or nuts picked up in the mountains.

Song Shuangshuang hurriedly took the basin out to wash up. There was no hot water in the morning, so she had to use cold water. Fortunately, it was summer and cold water could refresh her. If it was winter... well, it would be all big ice cubes, and she would have to fill the thermos with hot water the night before.

Just after I finished washing up, the whistle for the second work day sounded. I went back to the house to put my things away, grabbed two candies from the luggage bag and put them in my pocket, then went out.

The other two were similar, they all hurriedly washed up and went to work.

When they got to the fields, it was the same as yesterday. Song Shuangshuang worked with Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang. The task assigned to them was also the same as yesterday, pulling weeds.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Chang still came on time. Seeing that Song Shuangshuang looked a little listless, they knew what was going on. They walked up to her and asked, "You were so tired yesterday that you didn't get up this morning, right?"

Song Shuangshuang was still a little puzzled as to how her two aunts knew about it.

Aunt Wang pointed at Song Shuangshuang's frizzy head and said, "You haven't had time to comb your hair yet, it's all prickly and sticky."

Song Shuangshuang: "Ah???"

He touched his head and finally realized what was happening.

She went out just after washing her face and brushing her teeth in the morning, without having time to comb her hair.

I thought to myself that I had really embarrassed myself today. I didn't know how many people saw me along the way.

She untied her hair and combed it with her fingers twice, trying to braid it into two pigtails like she did yesterday, which would make it easier to braid and keep it from falling apart. But the more anxious she was, the worse it got, and it was worse than the first time. She was a little impatient for a while.

Aunt Chang couldn't stand it anymore, so she came over with a funny look on her face and said, "Auntie will make it up for you."

Song Shuangshuang blushed for a rare moment and whispered, "Sorry to bother your aunt."

Aunt Chang quickly braided two pigtails. Song Shuangshuang shook them twice, thinking that it was easier to have someone else braid your hair. This was much better than what she did yesterday. She thanked Aunt Chang sweetly.

Aunt Chang groaned and said that this was nothing.

The captain of the second team came over and saw that the three people were still chatting. He coughed, and left when he saw that his wife saw him.

Aunt Wang made a "tsk" sound and ignored him.

Although Song Shuangshuang worked with her two aunts and was considered a "connected" person, she was afraid of being seen by others and accused of being lazy and not working because of her good relationship with the wife of the village's second team leader, so she quickly squatted down to pull weeds.

I felt a little hungry in the middle of the meal, so I stuffed a piece of candy into my mouth.

When the whistle sounded, she told her two aunts to hurry back because it was her and Fan Lanfang's turn to cook today, so she must not go back late.

The morning break is short, with just a simple cornmeal porridge and cold wild vegetables.

While cooking, Song Shuangshuang also asked Fan Lanfang if this was how they had been eating in the morning over the years since they went to the countryside.

Fan Lanfang was stunned for a moment when she heard Song Shuangshuang's question, and explained, "Of course not. In the hot summer, food can't be stored, so we cook every morning. When the weather is cooler, the food can be stored, so we make more the night before, so that we can heat it up the next morning. And we don't eat cornmeal porridge every day, we also make corn grits porridge. Recently, everyone has been grinding cornmeal, and we haven't found other villagers to exchange for other coarse grains. When we have time, we can exchange for something else and eat something else when we come back."

Song Shuangshuang exhaled a breath. Fortunately, she thought she would have to eat porridge every day. It was okay for a few days, but it would be unbearable for a long time. Fortunately, the summer in Heilongjiang Province is short, so she probably won't be able to eat it for too long.

After a day's work, Song Shuangshuang felt that she had adapted a little and was not as tired as yesterday.

As soon as Tan Anjing came back, she lay down on the kang, her hands aching so much that she wanted to cry.

Song Shuangshuang waited for the meal to be ready before coming in and looking at her. "Tan Zhiqing, what's wrong?"

Tan Anjing sat up, pouted and said aggrievedly, "My hands hurt after pulling weeds all day."

Song Shuangshuang's expression paused... She had been pulling weeds all day, so her hands didn't hurt?

Could it be the effect of the moisturizer I used yesterday?

"Let me get you a basin of water to soak your hands." Song Shuangshuang was a little conflicted about whether to give Tan Anjing some moisturizer.

Although she was not a saint, she couldn't bear to see the delicate little girl complaining about her hand hurting. After struggling for a long time, she still didn't take it out for Tan Anjing to use. If it really had the effect of relieving pain and repairing, it would not be a good thing if she found out.

Be careful in everything you do.

Tan Anjing sniffed and said, "No, no, I can fetch water myself. You must be sore from pulling weeds all day."

Song Shuangshuang: "Emm... She really doesn't feel any pain."

There were no new tasks that day, and Song Shuangshuang didn't feel anything except a little sore waist, so she decided to read a good book.

Tan Anjing saw Song Shuangshuang reading a book, so she had nothing to do, so she took out a book. This book was stuffed into her by her brother before she went to the countryside, saying that the Northeast winter was long, so it was good to read a book to kill time.

So all the female educated youth except Bai Lingling were reading books.

Bai Lingling rolled her eyes at the group of people, thinking that these people were simply sick. After working on the farm all day, they didn't take a break and were reading books? Could it be that they all wanted to go to college? Everyone knew that the college entrance examination had been suspended for a long time.
