When the whistle to stop work sounded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted their waists.

The same goes for Baiyin.

The work is so hard that my back and waist ache.

Moreover, it is very boring to do the same work over and over again without any rest.

Baiyin had only been working for the whole morning when he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.

Walking on the road, Baiyin saw that everyone was listless and no one wanted to talk anymore, which was in stark contrast to their energetic appearance in the morning.

This look reminded Baiyin of every time he went out to play, he would go out excitedly and come back dejectedly.

It was Baiyin and Xiao Yuan's turn to cook today at the educated youth point, so Baiyin didn't waste any time on the way and went back quickly after getting off the stove.

Seeing Baiyin running so fast, Xu Fengmei said to Wu Lanhua beside her with some envy: "Comrade Xiaobai is really strong. He still has the energy to run so fast. We are not like us. We are so tired that we can't even walk."

"Alas, we are really old and useless."

When Wu Lanhua heard this complaint, she immediately said, "Go away, don't take me with you when you get old, I'm still a flower."

"Oh my, you are so shameless. You still have only one flower. Is it an old vegetable stem flower that is out of season?"

Wu Lanhua snorted loudly and said, "I have nothing to say to you." She turned around and walked away proudly.

Seeing her like this, Xu Fengmei chased after her and said, "You are always like this. You run away when you can't win an argument."

As for Baiyin, he hurried back to the Youth League Home and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had returned yet.

After all, she had just arrived and it was her first time cooking for everyone, and she was using a rural earthen stove, which Baiyin had never used before.

So she didn't want to mess it up, so she wanted to come back early to prepare so that she wouldn't be in a rush later.

Xiao Yuan came back after Baiyin had prepared the basic preparations for the meal that would be cooked later.

Seeing Baiyin busying herself, he said embarrassedly, "Baiyin, you're back so soon," and looked around the kitchen again, "Everything is ready, so I'll help you light the fire and fetch water later."

Baiyin readily agreed.

Xiao Yuan doesn't know how to cook, so they had already agreed that Xiao Yuan would fetch water and Bai Yin would be responsible for cooking.

The two had good ideas, but they didn't expect that their cooking project would fail at the first step.

Neither of them could start a fire. Either it would go out after a few tries, or it would produce billowing thick smoke.

The two of them were choked and coughed continuously, with tears streaming down their faces.

After struggling for a long time, I still couldn't start a fire.

It wasn't until everyone came back and saw the thick smoke coming from the kitchen that they thought there was a fire and were immediately shocked.

"Oh my God, what's going on? Is there a fire?" Tan Xiaoqing was the first to shout.

Everyone hurried to the kitchen and saw Bai Yin and Xiao Yuan squatting in front of the stove fiddling with a pile of firewood.

Seeing their eyes filled with tears, they looked somewhat pitiful, but coupled with the streaks of black smoke on their faces, it was downright ridiculous.

"Hahahahahahaha", seeing the looks of the two, everyone laughed out loud without hesitation.

Baiyin and Xiao Yuan looked back and saw everyone's expressions, feeling quite confused.

Li Xiaomei saw Baiyin like this and quickly reminded him, "Please look in the mirror."

He walked up to the two men and took the firewood from them, lit it, and started a fire in no time.

He kept muttering, "I'm really impressed by you two. Good fellows, I asked you to cook and you almost set the kitchen on fire."

Then he gave a detailed instruction, "When making a fire, you can't put all the firewood in at once. You must leave some space at the bottom so that air can circulate."

He picked up the firewood and demonstrated it himself, "Look, just like that, the fire will be burning brightly."

Baiyin and Xiao Yuan both expressed their gratitude.

Li Xiaomei looked at the two people in a daze and said with a smile: "Don't just stand there, come and cook."

The two men came to their senses and got up quickly.

Fortunately, with the guidance of Li Xiaomei, Xiao Yuan managed to light the fire, but it was sometimes big and sometimes small, and he couldn't control the temperature.

Baiyin quickly prepared the meal. Fortunately, Baiyin knew how to cook before. Although she was not very skilled at the beginning, she gradually got used to it.

The meal was finally ready with some difficulty.

Baiyin and Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt somewhat satisfied.

Especially for Xiao Yuan, this was his first time cooking, even though he was just a cook.

Although the cooking process was not smooth, the food made by Baiyin tasted okay.

This made Baiyin feel a little proud. It seemed that he was quite talented in cooking.

With more practice in the future, you will definitely be able to make delicious food.

After all, in this day and age, it is hard to have a good meal. Unlike before, when restaurants outside had all kinds of delicious food, and if you didn’t want to go out, you could have takeout delivered to your home, so now if you want to eat well, you can only cook it yourself.

After lunch, Baiyin was about to go to bed and felt something was wrong.

She remembered that when they were eating, everyone kept looking at her face, laughing as they did so, and when she looked over, they pretended nothing had happened.

Thinking of this, Baiyin didn't rush to sleep. He immediately turned over and found his mirror to look at himself.

This small piece of mirror was picked up by the original owner from a broken large mirror, and then the edges were rounded.

Baiyin looked at her face in the mirror and saw black and gray spots here and there. She immediately understood why everyone was strange.

"Okay, you actually watched me make a fool of myself!" Baiyin shouted to the others in the room.

After hearing this, the five people reacted differently.

Xia Yuan acted as if it had nothing to do with her; Lin Lin seemed to be gloating; as for Tan Xiaoqing, Li Xiaomei and Wu Xiaolan, they just laughed out loud.

Li Xiaomei even tried to distance herself from the issue, "I did ask you to look in the mirror at that time, but you didn't pay attention."

Baiyin snorted and rolled his eyes at everyone.

He got up, went out to get some water, wiped his face, came back and lay down to sleep.

Seeing Baiyin ignoring her, Li Xiaomei immediately approached Baiyin and said coquettishly, "Hey, Yinyin, please don't ignore me. I didn't mean to do that. I won't dare to do it again next time."

Bai Yin shuddered when he heard Li Xiaomei's voice, and pulled away her hands from his body, saying with disdain, "Straighten your tongue before you speak, and don't force me to hit you. And what do you mean you won't dare to do it again next time? You'll have a next time."

"I was wrong. There won't be a next time. Please forgive me." Li Xiaomei said pitifully.

Bai Yin snorted, "I am a magnanimous person, I won't argue with you."

Li Xiaomei agreed, "Our Yinyin is very tolerant and won't bother with a little girl like me."

Wu Xiaolan saw Li Xiaomei showing off and said, "That's enough, if you keep talking, my teeth will ache."

"Hmph, Yinyin, don't pay attention to her. She is just jealous of our good relationship." Li Xiaomei retorted.

Seeing that she was still excited, Wu Xiaolan immediately said, "Hey......"

Before he could finish his words, a voice came from the side: "Is it over yet? If you don't sleep, everyone else will!"

The sound in the room suddenly became quiet. Baiyin and the other two were startled. When they came to their senses, they saw Xia Yuan glaring at them angrily.

The three of them exchanged glances, then quickly lay down and went to sleep.
