The days passed quietly in this busyness, one after another, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, more than ten days and nights had passed.

The mountain products are becoming increasingly scarce due to the large number of people going up the mountain to pick them. At the same time, the temperature is gradually dropping.

Because of this, even those educated youth who are used to getting up early and live in the small educated youth compound will still wake up on time as usual every morning.

But they no longer crawl out of their warm beds as quickly as before.

On the contrary, everyone seemed to have reached a tacit understanding - they wanted to stay in bed a little longer and enjoy that moment of laziness and comfort.

You know, on weekdays when things are not too busy, these educated youth usually get up in high spirits around six o'clock.

Then you can enjoy a delicious breakfast before 6:30.

Especially during the autumn harvest season, they can get up at around 5:30 in the morning to greet the dawn.

After a quick and orderly wash, I wolfed down the simple and convenient breakfast.

Then he picked up all the necessary tools for the work and set out from the Youth League Home in a hurry at exactly six o'clock.

Hurrying to the threshing ground to wait for the day's work assignments.

However, now, faced with the cooling weather and dwindling mountain product resources, this sense of urgency seems to have been temporarily put aside.

Now, the weather is gradually getting cooler and the chill is getting stronger. After a long period of hard work in picking, the mountain products have accumulated a lot.

Not only that, they also had an almost complete supply of firewood for the winter.

As for the small private plot of land in their yard, the educated youth would take good care of it whenever they had free time.

Because of this, there really isn't much heavy work to do right now.

As a result, the educated youth in the yard truly felt that there was nothing urgent to deal with at this moment.

Instead of being busy, it is better to take advantage of this leisure time to rest well, recharge your energy, and be in the best condition to welcome the autumn planting after the beginning of spring next year.

As a result, their daily habits have changed significantly:

I usually wake up at 8 o'clock in the morning, and then dawdle until 8: before I start to enjoy breakfast.

Moreover, after breakfast, each person is no longer forced to perform specific work tasks as before.

Everyone can do whatever they want and choose the job they like according to their own wishes.

In this way, in this small educated youth compound, every time breakfast is over, the male and female educated youths naturally divide into several completely different lifestyles, each doing the things that fascinate them.

Xia Zhiyan had always been thinking about the fresh and delicious wild vegetables and plump wild mushrooms in the mountains, so she decided to follow an aunt she knew in the team to go to the mountains to look for these mountain products.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, discussing various interesting topics, and before they knew it, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

On the other hand, Bai Wanting would rather stay in her own yard and concentrate on taking care of her own vegetable garden.

She knew very well that as long as she took good care of the land and carefully tended to the vegetables, radishes and other crops in the garden, they would thrive and yield a bountiful harvest next year.

Moreover, if you can take good care of this vegetable garden now and allow the radishes to fully absorb nutrients, then in winter you will be able to harvest big and sweet radishes, which can be used to stew delicious radish and pork ribs soup!

Thinking of this, Bai Wanting couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

In addition to focusing on the management of the vegetable garden, Bai Wanting also took the time to keep the yard in tidy order.

The items that were originally hung in the yard in a messy manner were now neatly and orderly arranged after her careful arrangement.

The sunshine shining in the neat yard makes it look particularly warm and beautiful.

However, the little girl named Yun Ya had never gone to the mountains to look for mountain products, nor had she followed others to take care of the lush vegetable garden.

But she still chose to stay in the small educated youth compound.

So, what exactly caused her to make such a decision?

The answer is obvious.

It turns out that Yun Ya planned to stay and assist Lin Zhiqing and Bai Zhiqing.

Sometimes, she would patiently help organize the medicinal materials that Lin Zhiqing had just prepared, and carefully collect them, carefully pack them and place them in the corresponding position in Lin Zhiqing's small clinic.

Sometimes, when Lin Zhiqing was busy, she would hand him a small and exquisite hoe, so that Lin Zhiqing would not have to run back and forth frequently to get the tool, thus saving a lot of precious time.

Not only that, when Bai Zhiqing was working hard in the vegetable garden, Yun Ya would also take the initiative to lend a hand, occasionally passing the small hoe to Bai Zhiqing, or helping to carry the stones that Bai Zhiqing picked out of the vegetable garden safely to the outside of the yard and dump them away.

All in all, although Yun Ya does not seem to have undertaken any clear or specific tasks.

But in fact, in this small educated youth compound, she silently gave a lot of strong support and assistance to Lin Zhiqing and Bai Zhiqing.

It greatly reduced the workload and physical fatigue of both of them.

The female educated youth had a clear division of labor and each performed their duties. Everyone happily did their own exclusive work and completed the tasks in an orderly manner.

The male educated youth also performed well, in no way inferior to the female ones, and their lives were orderly and enjoyable.

Among these male educated youth, many were very interested in and enthusiastic about activities such as catching fish and crabs in the creek.

Whenever they have free time, they would call their friends and go to the crystal clear stream together.

They either roll up their trousers and step into the cool stream, carefully looking for traces of swimming fish; or hold simple tools and patiently search under the rocks by the stream for crabs hiding.

Occasionally, when they are lucky, they can catch some fat loaches, which undoubtedly adds a different kind of fun to their monotonous life.

For these male educated youth, going to the creek to catch fish and crabs was not only to add meals to their own courtyards and improve the food, but also a way to save money.

After all, in that era of relative scarcity of supplies, saving a little money meant being able to buy more urgently needed daily necessities.

Moreover, this activity of getting close to nature is itself full of infinite charm, which makes them never tired of it.

It is worth mentioning that there is an important reason why they dared to go to the creek so blatantly to catch fish, crabs and loaches - the people in the entire brigade were tolerant and understanding towards this matter.

In everyone's opinion, this is just a way for young people to have fun in their spare time, and it is also a way to get close to nature.

Therefore, when the villagers saw this group of male educated youth returning happily carrying bamboo baskets full of spoils, they would often respond with friendly smiles and words of encouragement.

Although the state has clearly issued an order prohibiting anyone from obtaining socialist benefits by improper means, this ban does not seem to have attracted enough attention from those insignificant brigade personnel who are like small fish and loaches.

Brigade leaders often turn a blind eye to such behavior because as long as the public does not take the initiative to report it, the leaders usually will not investigate further.

After all, even the children in the brigade would often go to the stream to catch some loaches, crabs, etc. to bring back home to feed the poultry.

Since even their own children did this, it was only natural for others to catch them.

Because of this, when Zhao Wenhua and others successfully caught fish and crabs by the creek for the first time and brought them back to the yard, an unforgettable food feast began.

Under Bai Zhiqing's deft hands and Lin Zhiqing's vivid description and guidance, the originally inconspicuous little fish and shrimps instantly turned into a series of mouth-watering delicacies.

After tasting these delicacies, everyone praised their unique taste. The wonderful taste was deeply imprinted in their taste buds and was unforgettable for a long time.
