The team leader arranged for people to drive ox carts to the hay field to dump grass, and Xu Yan and several male educated youth walked towards the educated youth site.

The male educated youth were in high spirits and kept saying how great it would be if they didn't have to work or bask in the sun anymore.

Xu Yan's mouth twitched.

When Zhou Jingjing talked to the team leader just now, she noticed that everyone's expressions were a little strange, so she asked Xie Zhuo a few questions in a low voice.

really.

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

Zhou Jingjing and her friends only knew that the educated youth in that village did not have to work in the fields, but they did not know that it was not that they did not want to work, but that there was no land for them to work on!

What they call a meal a day is just plain soup. Sometimes they don’t even have plain soup.

Most of the female educated youth in that village couldn't bear it and married villagers just to have enough food to eat and survive.

Listening to Wu Shi's tone now, it seems that they don't have to do anything in the future and Qingshan Brigade will support them.

Xu Yan didn't want to get involved in their affairs. Fortunately, she was going to move out soon, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble in the future.

She walked quickly into the educated youth site, put down the hoe in her hand, and went to the window sill of the dormitory to look at the water that she had dried when she left in the morning.

The sun is very strong in the north in summer. Not to mention water, even enamel basins get scorching hot.

Xu Yan brought the water into the house and bolted the door before taking off his straw hat and starting to scrub.

The walls of the bungalow were thin and not soundproof, and one could still hear the male educated youth outside rushing into the kitchen. After a while, someone standing in the yard called out "Brother Han" a few times, but Han Xiaoyu was not at the educated youth site.

Xu Yan didn't care much about it. After washing up and changing into clean clothes, she took the water out and poured it at the door.

When she put the basin back in its place, Wu Shi suddenly stood in front of her.

Xu Yan looked up at him, then straightened up and walked towards the kitchen.

She hasn't cooked for herself in the past two days and has basically been eating peach cakes and honey-sandwiches.

On the one hand, she had never used this kind of country stove before, and she didn't know how to use it. She could only light a fire to boil some hot water. On the other hand...

The kitchen at the educated youth camp was small and had only one stove. Cooking in it in the summer was a torture. Once the fire was lit, it felt like the temperature in the whole room was seven or eight degrees higher than under the sun.

So Xu Yan basically just ate something in the dormitory and didn't want to go inside to experience the steam sauna.

Today, while Zhou Jingjing and the others were not back yet and the kitchen was not too hot, she wanted to boil some hot water to soak the peach cakes.

"Xu Yan!"

Before Xu Yan stepped into the kitchen, Wu Shi called her.

Xu Yan ignored him and walked straight into the kitchen.

Then he scooped some water with a ladle and poured it into the pot, covered the pot, squatted down, picked up some straw from the ground and put it into the stove, then found a match and started to light the fire.

Because she rarely used matches before, she had to use four or five matches before she could barely light the fire.

"You've really changed." Wu Shi was a little annoyed when he saw Xu Yan's attitude towards him. He followed and stood at the door and said, "You were very kind before, not like now..."

"You're kinder now," Xu Yan turned his head and gave him a fake smile.

"I didn't follow you around every day asking for money, nor did I call the police to arrest all of you robbers."

"I am so kind!"

Xu Yan emphasized the latter part of this sentence.

When Wu Shi heard her mention money again, he became extremely angry.

But Xu Yan at this moment was just as he said, she had changed, she was not as easy to talk to as before, and she became more sharp than before.

the most important is……

She began to care less about Han Xiaoyu.

In the past, whenever Han Xiaoyu was mentioned, Xu Yan had to curry favor with him and send him gifts, and only when he was in a good mood would he reluctantly say a few good words about her in front of Han Xiaoyu in front of Xu Yan.

Now Xu Yan no longer cares about Han Xiaoyu.

Only then did he realize what kind of personality this person had.

"Why are you still standing at the door?" Xu Yan stuffed another handful of firewood into the stove, turned around and saw Wu Shi was still there, and asked, "Are you planning to pay me back now?"

Wu Shi left.

Ah.

Xu Yan sneered and wanted to come over and test PUA her?

That day, Song Guangming said that he would give them three months to pay back the money. Since she had just traveled through time, she didn't know much about the Qingshan Brigade. She was also restricted by the original plot and could not refute Han Xiaoyu's words, so she acquiesced.

Just think three months.

But judging from what happened in the field today, they would be lucky if they didn’t starve to death, let alone pay her back in three months.

She had to find a way to get the money back as soon as possible. After all, it felt most secure when the money was in her own hands.

Xu Yan was thinking about this and that.

the other side.

Xie Zhuo's process after returning home was similar to Xu Yan's, but he washed directly in the yard.

He took off his shirt and threw it into the large porcelain basin for washing clothes. Then he stood in the shade with his bare chest and buried his entire head in the basin.

Dabao and Xiaobao stood on the sidelines watching the fun.

Seeing Xie Zhuo spitting out a few bubbles at the bottom of the basin, Xiaobao immediately reached into the basin and tried to catch those bubbles.

"Uncle San, Uncle San, I want more!"

Xiaobao giggled.

Children are like this, they forget things quickly. That day, they were afraid that Uncle San didn't like them so they didn't dare to get close to him, but today they stretched out their dirty little hands and touched his face.

Xie Zhuo exhaled into the water again, then suddenly raised his head.

The water droplets splashed on the faces of the two kids next to him, and the rest slid down his face, across his tight waist and abdomen.

Dabao and Xiaobao didn't expect him to do this suddenly. They were stunned for a moment, then they smiled and pressed themselves against Xie Zhuo's pants, intending to wipe their faces with his pants.

"Dirty," Xie Zhuo quickly bent down, grabbed a child by the collar with each hand, and pulled them back.

Then he scooped another basin of water and washed his body, changed his clothes, poured out the water, and then took the two kids to the kitchen.

"What do you want to eat today?" Xie Zhuo asked.

"Maltese," said Dabao.

"Sugar," Xiaobao said.

"It's time to eat. We can't eat snacks," Xie Zhuo asked them casually. The two of them were even less picky than him and basically ate whatever was given to them.

"Oh," Dabao nodded, brought a small stool and sat in front of the stove, then looked up and asked Xie Zhuo, "What does Third Uncle want to eat?"

"Then, scramble the eggs," Xie thought for a moment, "and make noodles."

"Noodles!" Xiaobao repeated.

"Dabao," Xie Zhuo suddenly called out to Xie Dabao with a serious face, "I have a glorious and arduous task for you, Dabao. Can you complete it?"

This line is very popular among the children in the village.

These were the lines played by the projectionist from the city when he came to the commune to show a movie not long ago. From that day on, the little kids used them as a secret code when playing together.

Although Dabao and Xiaobao seldom play with children outside, they still know these.

"It can be done!" Dabao immediately stood up from the stool and answered loudly.

"Xiaobao can do it too," Xiaobao next to him quickly followed suit.

"Okay," Xie Zhuo was amused by the two of them and wanted to laugh, but he held it back, "Then I'll give the task to you two."

"You know what I'm talking about, right? Just follow the main road and then go through the threshing ground behind Grandpa Zhao's house. Go and invite young educated youth Xu to our home."
