At the same time, hardworking farmers even thought of making multiple uses of water. In addition to using it for irrigation, they also raised a lot of fish. They released the fish fry in the spring, and when the water in the reservoir became less in autumn and winter, they would drain the water and catch the fish.

The fish are distributed according to the number of people in each household, and the remaining fish can be exchanged for work points.

If you want to raise fish well, you can't just rely on them to grow, so there is a job of cutting fish grass every day. The reservoir is very large, and basically each team is assigned one person to cut fish grass.

Of course, other people would definitely not be like Gu Wan, who only picked fish grass. They might also pick pig grass as well, so that they could get more work points.

If you just collect fish grass, it will only be 2 work points.

Chen Cang was afraid that Gu Wan would be unwilling, and thinking of the title just now, he wanted to persuade her.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. There is still time to earn work points. There is always work to be done. Health is the most important thing."

He had also heard that the old-timers in the educated youth camp had withheld people's food, so it was no wonder that the kid's face was as pale as a ghost every day.

Every time I look at it, I’m afraid that the wind will be strong enough to blow me down.

I used to think that I was born weak, but now I know that it’s because I don’t eat enough every day. What a sin!

"Thank you, Captain Chen. I know. I will go get the tools and go fish weeds later."

Seeing that she listened carefully, Chen Cang nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, Gu Wan was a really nice girl except that she was slow in work and had poor health.

She is sweet-talker, takes care of everyone she meets, and does things carefully and patiently.

I have been here for half a month. Although I work a little slowly, I can basically learn any job once I am taught. I also do my job carefully. I am not like other educated youth who try to be lazy in some way.

When doing things, try to save as much as possible.

After Chen Cang finished explaining, he was ready to leave. He couldn't keep wasting time here. After all, there were quite a few tasks assigned to him.

Gu Wan had picked pig grass before, and fish grass is actually similar to pig grass, so she knew where to get pig grass.

When she got up early this morning, she had already eaten a banana and some bread. She felt a little weak, and if she really didn't eat, she was really afraid that something unexpected would happen again.

It’s a pity that the electricity in the space cannot be used, otherwise she would definitely use the induction cooker to cook instant noodles or dumplings!

Thinking of those things, my throat started to water and I felt a little hungry.

He rubbed his stomach and walked quickly towards the warehouse. After arriving at the warehouse, he picked up the tools and registered, then took his things and headed towards the foot of the mountain.

She met many people on the road and she smiled and nodded to them as a greeting.

This surprised everyone else. Although Gu Wan usually took care of him, she would only walk to the side and her voice was low. Now she held her head high and her chest puffed out, and the smile on her face was particularly bold and bright.

Watching it makes people feel better.

"Is this Gu Zhiqing?"

"That's right! I didn't expect that after falling into the water, people would become so generous."

The person who spoke shook his head in surprise. The person next to him moved closer and lowered his voice:

"You may not know this, but I heard from Lao Liu that the old hands at the youth camp bullied us and withheld our food."

The person next to him was stunned and turned his head in surprise to look at the person who was speaking.

"Before that?"

"That's right!" She nodded, looking speechless.

"That must be because he didn't have enough to eat before. Poor thing. He didn't have enough to eat for more than half a month. No wonder he couldn't walk steadily."

"My goodness, I thought he had been in poor health since he was young. He was also wondering what was going on at home that they sent a child like this here. Looking at Gu Zhiqing's spirited look today, I'm afraid he just had a rare full meal. He's not in poor health at all!"

She pulled a handful of grass and threw it neatly into a ditch on the side. Someone would come to collect it later.

"That's right. That child has a very soft temper. If he hadn't fallen into the river and almost lost his life yesterday, he would probably still be holding it in."

The squatting aunt shook her head and said nothing. She gave Gu Wan a big X in her heart. She was a good person, but she couldn't stand on her own feet. She was not suitable to be married home. When the time comes, the children in the family must stay away from her.

She has two unmarried boys in her family.

Gu Wan, who was busy cutting grass for fish, had no idea what she was thinking.

It was her first time to experience cutting grass for fish and she found it very novel. As she watched the grass cage gradually fill up, she felt a sense of pride and satisfaction in her heart.

The fish and grass must first be sent to the cowshed for unified registration. The difference from collecting grass for pigs is that you have to deliver the fish and grass to the reservoir yourself.

Otherwise, the work points would be too easy.

It is easy to cut grass, but it is very troublesome to walk back and forth, so even though this job is easy, most people are unwilling to do it.

After completing the task of delivering two baskets of pig feed, he sent the tools to the warehouse for registration. After confirming that the work points were registered, he headed to the educated youth site.

The sun has come out, and it's time to go back and have breakfast.

It is cooler in the morning, so everyone tries to do more work in the morning so that they can do less at noon.

Each day’s tasks are assigned in the morning and are considered completed only when they are completed.

When Gu Wan returned, quite a few people had already sat in the main room of the educated youth site. Everyone was holding food, eating and chatting.

Hearing the sound, he looked in her direction, then turned back and continued talking.

The lunch boxes are washed and placed in the kitchen in the morning. Every morning, the person who cooks will portion the rice in advance.

Gu Wan took her own portion and found a seat to sit down. She opened the lid and saw multi-grain porridge and sweet potato cubes.

The porridge was decent, and there were half pieces of sweet potato in it.

"Hey, do you think what Ji Zhiqing said is true?"

These days, talking about ghosts and gods is very taboo. Everyone knows it, and when talking about chaos outside, people deliberately avoid that word.

"It doesn't look fake. Didn't they say that even the educated youth saw it? And why would a healthy person faint in the toilet if he didn't see something?"

Yu Bo nodded, looking thoughtful. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, the two of them stopped talking and started eating with big mouthfuls.

After eating, you have to go to the fields, otherwise when the sun comes out, you might get heatstroke when working.

After Gu Wan finished her meal, she washed the lunch box, took it and walked towards the bedroom. She opened the door and saw quite a few people sitting in the room.

Most of them were old educated youth. They sat on Lai Dongmei's bed and comforted her. The others also looked pale and worried.

When he saw her come in, he just glared at her and then looked away.
