Luo Ya didn't know when she fell asleep. She woke up at five o'clock the next morning. She still felt a little weak, due to physical reasons, but she was in a very good spirit.

"Luo Ya, there's no need to get up so early. It's our turn to cook tomorrow." Wang Ling noticed that Luo Ya got up, said with squinted eyes, then turned over and went back to sleep.

Luo Ya put on her clothes quietly, ran five kilometers as a basic training, and even ran to the foot of the mountain to avoid people. Then she did fifty squats, one hundred kicks, and one hundred lunges before returning. When she returned, Yang Lan and the other two were making breakfast.

Luo Ya did not go over to help, but instead took a bucket of water and went to wash the clothes she had taken off yesterday.

The weather is too hot and my clothes will become sore if I don’t wash them for a day. I am too weak to carry water.

One bucket of water was not enough to wash clothes, so water was secretly transferred from the space.

After the clothes were washed, Wang Ling and Li Dongcao also got up.

"Luo Ya, why did you get up so early? Oh, I should have washed my clothes." When Li Dongcao saw Luo Ya hanging clothes to dry, he remembered that the clothes he wore yesterday were still stuffed there. He only brought three sets of clothes in total.

"Doncao, believe me, you won't think so in a few days." Wang Ling gently held Li Dongcao's shoulder, speaking with the tone of an experienced person.

"Why?" Li Dongcao looked at Wang Ling in confusion.

"Because you will be so tired that you can't even lift your arms, why would you mind the smell of sweat? I have been here for more than three years, and every year during the busy farming season I am still as tired as a dog, and I don't earn enough work points." Wang Ling felt sad just thinking about it. Now she can just barely eat enough, and it's only two meals a day. After daily expenses, the money she saves is only enough to buy a bag of vanishing cream for five cents.

As for her family, Wang Ling no longer has any hope. Her eldest brother has been working in the countryside for seven years, and she has been working there for five years. She has two younger brothers and a younger sister. The family has basically been drained dry by the work of the three children, and has no energy to take care of herself and her eldest brother. Her eldest brother has already started a family in the countryside, and his child is three years old.

Originally, she was about to give up and planned to find a local to marry. While she was looking for a target, many educated youth returned to their hometowns. Although her family had no connections, Wang Ling still wanted to wait a little longer in case there was an opportunity. After all, she was only 21 years old at that time.

Yang Lan is 25 years old and still persisting, so why can't I persist?

"Can't you take a rest?" Li Dongcao looked at Wang Ling in confusion.

"If you take a rest, your work points will be deducted. Without work points, there will be no food. Unless your family sends you food, you will just starve. No one will help you." Wang Ling's expression was still a little serious.

It's only because I see that Li Dongcao and Luo Ya work efficiently that I'm willing to get close to them. But if you want to take advantage of them, forget it, no one can.

Li Dongcao opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Ling in disbelief.

"Now that we're here, let's go eat first." Luo Ya walked towards the main room first.

Wang Ling didn't say much. After all, it would take less than two hours for people to realize how dangerous the world is. It would be useless to say anything now.

In the morning, we made sorghum rice porridge, corn pancakes, and stewed shredded radish. Each pancake was the size of an adult man's palm. The men had two and the women had one. The sorghum rice porridge for the men was thinner, while the porridge for the women was relatively thicker.

Everyone remained relatively silent, eating their breakfast quickly, like a group of numb and emotionless zombies about to attack the plants.

After breakfast and washing the dishes, everyone walked towards the fields together. Luo Ya had already wrapped a bright red scarf around her head. It was the scarf that Luo Ya had pestered her brother to buy for her at great expense for half a month. It was a high-end item that she had been reluctant to wear, and Luo Ya despised it to death. If there was no other scarf, she would really not be willing to wear it.

Fortunately, her beauty is so good that it is not overshadowed by the scarf, but instead adds a unique flavor.

It is this beauty that makes Luo Ya more determined to exercise, otherwise beauty will become original sin.

Li Dongcao didn't have a scarf, but after being reminded by Wang Ling, he found a piece of breathable gray cloth and put it on his head.

The same was true for Yang Lan and Zhao Xiaomei. Lin Ping looked at the tops of the five people's heads and her eyes became red again.

"Do I need to bring a veil? I don't have one..." She twisted her hands together and looked timid.

Wang Ling rolled her eyes and walked out quickly, while Luo Ya didn't even glance at Lin Ping, fearing that if she looked at her any longer she would give her a fight.

Looking at the people passing by her, Lin Ping was really broken down, tears couldn't stop flowing, but she could only follow silently.

When we arrived at the work site, there was a cornfield and Yang Shengli was dividing the work.

"Han Shengyang, you and Wang Ling, Sun Yaowu, Luo Ya, and Li Dongcao will share a piece of land. Yang Lan, you and Zhao Qiang, Wang Liming, Zhao Dongmei, and Lin Ping will share a piece of land." Then other educated youth were divided up.

Everyone said nothing to each other, and Han Shengyang took a few people to borrow tools.

"Our task is to harvest corn. Sun Yaowu and I will cut the corn stalks first, and you female comrades will be responsible for breaking the stalks and peeling the corncobs. After we finish harvesting, come over and help us peel the corn and then pack it up and carry it away." Han Shengyang handed a sickle to Sun Yaowu, held a bundle of sacks in his right hand, and led a few people to the cornfield that had been allocated to them.

While explaining to Sun Yaowu how to cut corn stalks, Han Shengyang worked quickly. He had been here for eight years and was not the kind of person who liked to be lazy. He could have earned ten work points long ago.

Although Sun Yaowu was not very good at using the sickle, he was quite strong and not the kind of person who would play tricks on others, so he quickly got the hang of it. Apart from the fact that the stubble he cut was of varying lengths and his speed was a little slower than Han Shengyang, there were no other problems.

Wang Ling took Luo Ya and Li Dongcao to sit on the corn stalks.

"Watch this, the two of you. Pull out the corn with force. Then remove the husk and roots together. Pull off the corn silk as well, otherwise the corn will rot easily." Wang Ling spoke as she worked, her movements extremely quick.

If you look closely, you will find that Wang Ling's hands are very rough.

Seeing this, Li Dongcao followed suit, but his movements were rather clumsy. When he tried to lift the root, he failed to do it right away, so he had to use his knees to gain some strength.

Luo Ya had already started when Wang Ling said that, and followed suit, but she obviously overestimated the strength of this body. Li Dongcao used some force and it broke off. Luo Ya finally put it on her thigh and used all her strength to break it off.

"Take your time." Wang Ling looked at Luo Ya's tender white hands and porcelain-like face, but she couldn't utter the sarcastic words that were on the tip of her tongue.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, if this girl can't earn food in the future, can't she borrow from me?

Luo Ya was also frowning. She didn't say anything and continued working, slowly looking for a pattern, trying to use her cleverness to make up for the lack of physical strength.
