After this little episode, the following workday became much more friendly, and I spent the morning working peacefully.

When it was time for dinner, the team leader came over and told Xia Zhiyan and the others that two of them could go to cook. When it was almost time, the others who lived with them would go back to eat, rest for two hours, and then go back to work in the afternoon.

Xia Zhiyan also specifically asked Lin Sitian and Yun Ya who would like to accompany Bai Wanting back to cook first.

Lin Sitian thought that since she was a quick learner and it was only her first day, she didn't want to stand out too much. She thought that a six-centimeter tool would be enough for today, and she could slowly work on it. After all, she had done this kind of work at the orphanage before.

So I volunteered, "Sister Xia, I've already gotten started. I made a lot this morning, so I want to go back and cook with Bai Zhiqing."

Yun Ya had noticed that her movements were not as fast as her companions', and she thought that once her companions went back to cook, she would be able to catch up a little, so that the gap wouldn't be too big in the end. She said happily:

"Sister Xia, I think it's perfect for Lin Zhiqing to go back. She picked up the skills quickly and won't delay him from working. I saw that our progress is about the same, so we can stay and work while she and Bai Zhiqing go back to cook. I don't know what's wrong with them, they picked up the skills so quickly and are so skillful at picking up stones."

After saying that, he jokingly nudged Lin Sitian who was standing next to him, and laughed at this. Bai Wanting, who heard the remarks, also watched carefully and found that indeed, the progress of herself and Xiaolin Zhiqing was faster than that of the other two Zhiqing.

Bai Wanting was puzzled and thought that because her family conditions were ordinary, she was used to doing farm work at home. But this young educated youth Xiao Lin seemed to have been brought up in pampering, so how could he be so skillful at work?

But she looked at the sunlight and saw that the team members beside her were going home in groups of three or four to cook. She didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly urged:

"Hey, my sisters, stop making excuses here. I see that the team members have all gone home, so let's go back quickly. Now that we have decided on the personnel, let's go back quickly and make a delicious meal. After all, working in the morning is quite tiring."

Xia Zhiyan pondered carefully for a moment, and after checking the progress of picking up stones, she also agreed:

"That's right. After all, we're already sore from just picking up stones, not to mention the other male educated youth who are digging in the ground. It must be even more tiring."

The female educated youth easily decided who would go back to cook, while the male educated youth on the other side continued to work calmly, with no intention of going back to cook. Seeing this, the team members next to them began to tease:

"Wang Zhiqing, aren't you guys going back to cook? If you don't go back and cook now, you might not even have time for lunch later, and then you won't be able to concentrate on work this afternoon."

Wang Wenxiang listened to the team members talking to him, looked up with a nonchalant expression, and saw that there were indeed team members on their way home. So he replied, "So it's time for dinner. But it doesn't matter. We male educated youth won't be going back. Thanks for reminding me."

The team members nearby listened to the educated youth in front of them thanking them so politely, and they became even more concerned:

"I say, Wang Zhiqing, you really don't need to work so hard all day. You still have to go back and cook when it's time to go.

After all, this is your first day on the job. If you're too tired, the next few days won't be easy for you. Besides, the team leader won't say anything if you go back to cook at this time."

Wang Wenxiang immediately realized after hearing these inexplicable words that the team member in front of him must have misunderstood something and thought that he was too eager to work hard to go back to cook, so he explained seriously:

"My dear brother, thank you for your concern for us. We also know that we can't work too hard on the first day. We know this. Also, we rented a house outside, and the female educated youth who lived with us have already hired the cook.

We usually help collect firewood and have already divided the work. They should have gone back to cook by now."

After hearing this explanation, the team member scratched his head in embarrassment, then suddenly realized, "So you've already divided the work and chosen the cooks. No wonder you're so unhurried. That's good."

In this way, except for Lin Sitian and Bai Wanting who returned to their rented house, the rest of the educated youth were still busy in the fields, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.

And they are very polite and tactful. No matter who asks or talks to them, they will reply politely. Even when facing those players with bad intentions, they will still reply to them in an orderly manner. ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

In this way, rumors spread that the new educated youth were kind, knowledgeable, polite, but not easy to mess with.

On the other side, Bai Wanting and her partner also returned to their residence. After opening the door with the lock and key, they both ran to the kitchen to show off their skills.

Lin Sitian volunteered to wash the rice and cook it, because she felt that she could secretly use the spiritual spring water to cook the rice while washing the rice, so that the rice made in this way could have some of the effects of the spiritual spring.

Seeing someone cooking, Bai Wanting went to get a chicken hanging in the vent and prepared to stew it for everyone to eat. (The chickens were two that Lin Sitian and the others had secretly revealed from the space when they went to the county town. They only ate one, leaving the other hanging in the vent.)

Lin Sitian poured the rice washing water into the printed enamel basin prepared nearby, and then put the rice into the cooking pot.

Seeing that Bai Wanting went out to wash the vegetables, this was a perfect opportunity, so he quietly put enough spiritual spring water into the chicken nuggets she had washed to cover the chicken nuggets, and shouted outside:

"Bai Zhiqing, I've added some water to the pot for you. This water might not be enough, as I took some extra from the rice I was preparing to cook. You can add some more water later."

Bai Wanting, who was washing vegetables outside, heard this and responded, "Okay, I'll get some more water in when the time comes. Go get some firewood from the firewood pile and bring it to the kitchen. I'll wash the vegetables right away, and then we can start cooking rice and stewing the chicken."

After hearing this, Lin Sitian walked towards the corner where the firewood was piled without any burden and prepared to take the firewood to the kitchen bit by bit.

In this way, the two of them had a clear division of labor, and soon they had the fire lit. One pot was cooking rice, and the other was stewing chicken soup.

Fortunately, there was not much meat in a chicken and it was chopped into small pieces. After a while, the pot of stewing chicken was bubbling with water, indicating that I was almost well.

Seeing this scene, Bai Wanting quickly took a basin and put the chicken pieces and chicken soup into the basin. Fortunately, the basin was big enough to hold the full basin of chicken soup and chicken.

I didn't even rinse the pot, thinking that the things stuck on the edge of the pot were not dirt, but the aroma of chicken and oil, so I just put the vegetables in and stir-fried them.

When stir-frying vegetables, I also add seasonings, and soon the fragrance of vegetables fills the kitchen.

At this moment, the sounds of other educated youths' laughter and chatter could be heard from outside the door. The first person to reach their ears was Yun Ya, who usually didn't talk much:

"Hey, Bai Zhiqing, your meal is ready. I can smell the delicious food! We're back."

Lin Sitian popped her head out of the kitchen and said to the people at the door with a smile, "Dinner is indeed ready. Go wash your hands, move the table and stools out, and get ready. We'll serve the food right away."

After saying this, he retracted his head. After seeing that the chicken and vegetables were ready, Lin Sitian took out the rice from the pot, rinsed the pot briefly, and then filled it with water.

The water in one pot is prepared for washing dishes, and the water in the other pot is prepared to be put into the kettle when going to work in the afternoon.

Bai Wanting went to make some cold cucumber salad.

Soon, the table was served with white rice, a large bowl of chicken, stir-fried vegetables and cold cucumber salad.

After working hard, they looked at the ingredients on the table and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Without saying anything, the eight of them just picked up their bowls and started eating.
