"Okay, thank you Yiwan." In order not to disappoint Lin Yiwan, Wen Xi ate crayfish according to the method taught by Lin Yiwan, just like someone who was eating crayfish for the first time.

The crayfish meat is firm, spicy and fragrant, and especially delicious. Even the crayfish shells are flavorful when you chew them. But today there are plenty of crayfish, so there is no need to chew on the shells at all.

Afterwards, both men and women used their hands to devour the food. The crayfish in the basin collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the crayfish shells next to them piled up quickly like a small hill.

When the crayfish were almost finished, Wen Xi looked at the brothers from the Lin family who were sitting opposite him and asked shyly, "Brothers from the Lin family, can you catch snakes?"

Lin Chuyang nodded, "Yes, we can catch snakes. Most of the boys who grew up in the countryside should be able to catch snakes. Do you need one?"

Wen Xi nodded, "Then please help me catch some snakes. I plan to make snake meat soup for everyone the day after tomorrow. It should be enough for one meal for everyone in the team."

"Aren't you afraid of snakes?" Lin Yihui looked at Wen Xi. He still remembered the scene in the afternoon when she was trembling with fear because of a snake.

Wen Xi was a little embarrassed. "Actually, I think snakes are pretty cute, so I am a little more accepting of snakes. Snakes don't creep me out."

"Xiaoxi, you can also cook snake meat?" Lin Yiwan was full of admiration, since she couldn't cook it anyway.

"I learned this from the elderly neighbors of mine. They have relatives in the countryside, and every time the snake-eating season comes, the relatives in the countryside will send them snakes. I've also exchanged snakes a few times when my family was short of meat," Wen Xi explained.

Of course this is false, but that's all she can say!

Lin Chuyang said, "I will send the snake to the cafeteria the day after tomorrow morning, don't worry!"

"Thank you very much. You should try the fish fillet I made." Wen Xi smiled happily and then pushed the braised fish fillet some to the middle.

Everyone was so busy eating crayfish that they haven’t even tasted the three dishes she brought!

After hearing Wenxi's words, everyone picked up their chopsticks to pick up the fish. After tasting the fish, they praised Wenxi's cooking skills. Wenxi's cooking skills were good, and everyone knew it during the spring planting.

During the spring planting season, everyone ate meals cooked by Wenxi every day. However, Wenxi's cooking skills seemed to be better in private than in the cafeteria. It seemed that Wenxi did not put in his best effort at the beginning.

Everyone was eating crayfish, drinking the fruit wine that Lin Yiwan brought back, and talking a lot. The atmosphere was very good.

On the other side, the educated youth site was deserted.

Everyone had dinner quite early, before it got dark. Nine people were in the kitchen, sitting around the dining table. Not only was the table very old, it was also unstable and would shake slightly if it was touched lightly.

Everyone's dinner was also simple. Each person had a bowl of cornmeal porridge, a steamed potato, two plates of stir-fried vegetables with less oil and salt, and a small dish of pickles in the middle.

There was only one female comrade, Tian Shengnan, in the entire educated youth site. She did not plant any private plots because if she did, she would have to feed everyone, and she was not that kind.

In addition, she, Song Lan and Zhou Bai were living together, so the three of them didn't eat much, and it didn't cost much to buy vegetables from the villagers, so they always went to the villagers' homes to buy vegetables.

The remaining male educated youth at the educated youth site did not know how to grow vegetables. Besides, no one wanted to be taken advantage of by others, so no one grew vegetables. Everyone just ate casually, occasionally having a meal at a state-owned restaurant, but no one was given cheap food.

Looking at such food, Tang Xiaoyun had no appetite at all. She had never suffered such hardship at home!

She looked at Xia Minglei with resentment, but Xia Minglei was whispering to Tian Xiaoke. Of course, it was not a good thing. Xia Minglei asked Tian Xiaoke to help him wash clothes tomorrow. Tian Xiaoke already regarded herself as Xia Minglei's wife, and thought it was natural for a wife to wash clothes for her husband, so she agreed sweetly. The look in her eyes when she looked at Xia Minglei was full of love, and she wished she could go to the cornfield with Xia Minglei right now.

On the way here today, Tian Xiaoke saw large tracts of lush cornfields. She could hide in there for a date without anyone noticing.

"Is this food for humans? Didn't we share rice? Why not make rice?" Tang Xiaoyun picked up the cornmeal porridge and tried to drink it, but after one sip, the sandy, grainy feeling in her mouth was unbearable to her, so she put the bowl down and complained with a frown.

But the men opposite were all eating their dinners and no one paid any attention to her. She couldn't make a fuss on her own, so she gradually gave up the idea.

Then she looked at Xia Minglei with resentment. She had endured all these sufferings that she shouldn't have endured just to marry Xia Minglei. If Xia Minglei couldn't treat her well, he would be unworthy of all the suffering she had endured.

Some people finished their meal in a hurry, took a shower, and then lay down to rest early. After all, they had to harvest wheat tomorrow. The new educated youth could still take a day off to recuperate, but the old educated youth did not have this benefit now.

Tang Xiaoyun didn't want to go to bed on an empty stomach, so she picked up the bowl, frowned, and swallowed the cornmeal porridge in big mouthfuls. She didn't know how the cornmeal was ground, but it was ground so coarsely that it made her throat sore when she ate it.

She then ate the steamed potatoes with great difficulty. She choked and drank a lot of water. She would take a rest tomorrow and go to the post office to call her parents to complain and ask them to send her more money and tickets. She would go to a state-owned restaurant to eat delicious food and compensate herself.

They had dinner early, so at around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the dormitory of the educated youth center was filled with snoring. Tang Xiaoyun and Wang Caiyun were really tired, so they lay down on the big bunk bed and fell asleep.

Tian Xiaoke was still thinking about her date with Xia Minglei, so she kept her eyes open in the night until she was sure that Tang Xiaoyun, Wang Caiyun, and Tian Shengnan were all asleep. Then she quietly got out of bed, walked out of the dormitory, came to the outside of the educated youth center, and threw herself into Xia Minglei's arms, "Brother Minglei, I miss you so much. What have you been busy with these past few months? Why didn't you come to see me?"

"This is not the place to talk, let's go." Xia Minglei grabbed Tian Xiaoke's hand and pulled her away from the educated youth site.

Tian Xiaoke followed Xia Minglei with a sweet smile on her face. She knew that Xia Minglei couldn't wait to go on a date with her.

Xia Minglei pulled Tian Xiaoke to the cornfield, but did not go to the middle, because there was no shortage of smart people at this time. He wanted to go to the middle, and others naturally wanted to go to the middle as well. If they ran into wild mandarin ducks, they would be handing the handle to the other party.
