After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

Just when everyone was eating with gusto and enjoying the meal.

Lin Sitian's eyes quickly swept over everyone present. Seeing that no one had brought up a new topic, she spoke without hesitation:

"Haha, the autumn harvest is finally almost over.

Do you remember that now the work of our team is basically done!

When we went to work together this morning, the team leader's aunt said in person that we educated youth don't have to go to work anymore!

The remaining small amount of work will be left to the poorer families in the brigade.

What’s more, within two days, we will be able to go into the mountains to pick mountain products!

Thinking about it this way, why not take advantage of the free time tomorrow and go to the town together?

First of all, we can go to the state-owned restaurant in town to have a good meal and reward ourselves for our hard work in the autumn harvest.

Secondly, I can also buy some things I need for the journey up the mountain."

As soon as Lin Sitian finished speaking, the other educated youth turned their attention to this topic and began to discuss it enthusiastically.

They were all in high spirits, and became more and more excited as they talked, as if they were full of infinite anticipation for tomorrow's trip.

Wang Wenxiang and Xia Zhiyan, the team leaders of the Young Educated Youths' Home, stood quietly by, listening to everyone's heated discussion on whether to go to the town to purchase supplies.

Although they were eager to try, they did not interrupt the crowd rashly, but chose to wait patiently for the right time to express their opinions.

In fact, Wang Wenxiang and Xia Zhiyan also wanted to go to the town.

After all, it had been quite a while since the last time I went to town, and many necessities of life were in urgent need of replenishment.

As the discussion deepened, they felt that this proposal was indeed great.

So, after some consideration, the two of them reached a consensus with the others - they decided to go to the town together tomorrow to buy the necessary food and daily necessities.

At this moment, Wang Wenxiang, who had been observing everyone's reactions, saw that everyone had made the final decision.

Then he cleared his throat and began to make necessary additions to what he had just discussed:

"Since everyone has made up their minds, we don't have to go to work tomorrow.

However, there is one thing I must remind you all in advance.

The winter in the north is extremely cold!

So when we get to town, if you have the chance to buy cloth coupons, buy as many as you can; and if you can find cotton sellers, don't miss out and stock up on cotton to weather the cold winter."

As soon as Wang Wenxiang finished speaking, Xia Zhiyan immediately echoed:

"That's right, Captain Wang is absolutely right!

Not only are winters extremely cold, but life can also become quite dull and boring.

Plus, there are very few vegetables to choose from in winter, so when we go to town this time, we have to prepare everything we need!

In that cold winter, each of us would choose to spend a long time in our own warm little house.

Even if everyone gets together occasionally to chat about family matters, it is probably difficult to avoid the monotony and boredom.

By now, we are very familiar with each other, so I will not beat around the bush and will speak directly.

The living conditions of the people in our yard are pretty good.

In this case, why not take advantage of this winter season to nourish your body?

It is also wise to buy more food and daily necessities to prepare for the winter.

Especially for us young and beautiful girls, if you can afford to buy brown sugar, you must stock up!

Imagine, on a snowy day, making a cup of steaming hot brown sugar water and slowly savoring its sweet taste. That feeling must warm both your stomach and your heart!

At this moment, seeing the two older brothers and sisters successively mentioning the topic of food and drink expenses, the clever and intelligent Lin Sitian had an idea.

I thought to myself: Now is the perfect time to express my thoughts on using the winter for study.

After all, if she was the only one in the yard reviewing in the winter, it would not be good if she was seen by other educated youth in the yard.

Besides, to her, the friends in this courtyard are all very, very good people!

If I could get everyone to review their lessons with me, then after the college entrance examination is resumed, they might all have a bright future.

Now that things have come to this, and things have been said to this extent, the two older brothers and sisters have already taken the lead and set a good example.

Lin Sitian naturally expressed her true thoughts deep in her heart without hesitation:

"It's not just that, think about it, in the middle of winter it's freezing cold, there's nothing good to eat, and it's incredibly boring to stay at home all day!

Since we are so bored, why don't we make full use of this free time to learn knowledge?

Dear friends, do you think what I said makes sense?

In this long and cold winter, when other people are immersed in leisure and laziness, we can make full use of this leisure time to do something meaningful.

For example, read more books, review the knowledge from high school textbooks, and then complete some related exercises carefully.

In this way, not only can the knowledge in our brains remain fresh, but it will also not be forgotten by time.

It also allows us to find ways to enrich ourselves during these seemingly idle days.

After all, there is a wise saying that has been passed down from ancient times to the present:

“Learn until you are old, live until you are old” and “You only regret not having read enough when you need it.”

This sentence profoundly reveals the importance and continuity of learning.

No matter when and where, knowledge is a precious asset of mankind. Only by continuous accumulation and updating can it play its due role at critical moments.

So, even though we are in a free time now, it never hurts to learn more.”

When these words reached the ears of everyone, they were stunned at first, as if they were a little surprised by the proposal.

However, after a little thought, everyone began to follow the little girl's thoughts and imagine more deeply.

Gradually, they found that this idea was indeed quite good.

Yes, I'm bored all day anyway. Instead of wasting time, I might as well seize the opportunity to improve myself.

Look at those former educated youth, who have now completely integrated into the life of the brigade and become true farmers.

Of course, this is not to say that there is anything wrong with engaging in agricultural production, but it is undeniable that farm work often relies on natural factors such as weather and has a certain degree of uncertainty.

If we can always remember and consolidate the knowledge we have learned, it may come in handy one day!

Thinking this way, they actually accepted Lin Sitian's idea in their hearts, but Zhao Wenhua first raised his concerns:

"Xiao Lin, what you said makes sense, but I didn't bring any textbooks or anything like that with me when I went to the countryside, so I'm powerless to study even if I want to.

But I also think you're absolutely right. If you don't do anything in the winter, it would be pretty boring. So what should you do?"

After hearing this doubt, he looked at the other educated youth, and their expressions said it all.

They all agreed to study in the winter, but it seemed that few of them had textbooks. However, Lin Sitian thought about the books she had found at the scrap yard last time and said directly to her friends:

"Oh, it's no big deal. I thought you guys didn't want to study with me in the winter.

How boring it would be for me to study alone. If the only concern was the lack of textbooks, it wouldn't be a big deal at all.

Because the last time I went to the scrap yard in town, I saw that the table with slanted legs in my house was found there. We can go to the scrap yard together tomorrow.

Because the books at the scrap yard are cheap and some of them are in good condition.

We can also go to the scrap yard to find some other usable things, which is also a very good option."

The other educated youth also followed Lin Sitian to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's trip to the town.

At the dinner table, they arranged their winter plans in a few words.

At this moment, they did not know that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the near future. They only knew that what the little sister in their yard said was quite right. Instead of being bored, it would be better to read more books.

Therefore, the moment they learned that the college entrance examination had been resumed, they were extremely grateful that they had listened to the little girl and followed her to study.

Because of this incident, the moment they learned the news, everyone in their yard was extremely grateful to Lin Sitian, and each of them paid for a meal.
