Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Chapter 20 I'm Just Glad We're All Alive

"Bah! You dare to hit me, you bitch! Go to jail!"

Zhang Xiufang made no secret of her dislike for Li Aidi. She thought that when Tan Yuan sent a letter, she would have to talk about this matter with her, as a way of repaying Tan Yuan for selling such a good job to her son.

As the protagonist of the incident, Tan Yuan sent a letter to the city on the first day of settling down. She had to quickly change the address of the subsidy to here so that she could not let her family take advantage of the loophole.

Several groups of people have gone to the educated youth point, and now it is overcrowded. It is really difficult to squeeze out a few vacancies, and no one is willing to give in.

Tan Yuan and a few others settled down in the temporary resettlement site.

The brigade took care of them on the first day, but starting from the second day, the work was gradually increased. On the fourth day, the brigade finally announced that this year's double harvest had officially begun.

Once the double harvest begins, no one cares whether Tan Yuan and the others are new or old.

Find an old hand to lead them, give each of them a sickle, and then roll up their sleeves and get going.

The reason why it is called double harvest is that time is tight and we have to race against time to store all the grain into the warehouse before it rains.

The first is to rush to harvest all the rice in the field, and the second is to rush to dry the rice.

The educated youth who had just gone to the countryside could choose how to record their work points, small work points or normal work points.

Small work points are five points a day. As long as you don't cheat or slack off, you can get five points no matter how much you do. Normal work points are based on how much you do. You have to rely on your own ability to make a living.

Five work points can only ensure that you will not starve to death, and you may have to rely on subsidies from your family.

The normal work points are out of ten, and you need to work hard. Men are generally stronger and have the burden of the family on their shoulders, so they take on more. Women need to go home to cook at noon, and some even have to carry a child on their backs, so generally they only get about seven to nine points.

Huaiyin Brigade does not have many economic crops. After the rice is harvested, they plant potatoes. After the potatoes are harvested, they plant sweet potatoes, and then rice again. It's all food over and over again. Food can fill the stomach, but in terms of economic value, it's really not enough.

Therefore, the work points in Huaiyin Brigade were not very valuable, and everyone was poor. All we could say was that we would not go hungry all year round. Those who got high work points could even send a lot of food back home.

In her previous life, except for the first two years, everyone in the brigade had a hard time because of the locusts. Tan Yuan was the one who got high work points. The difference between her and others was that they did not go hungry, but she did.

In this life, Tan Yuan has no intention of giving the Zhao family a penny of benefit. As long as she can feed the whole family, there is no need for her to work so hard to earn work points.

The same is true for Nian Lin. She is a person who feeds the whole family and although she will not be lazy at work, she will not work as hard as Li Xiu and Wang Dong.

When it was time for dinner, seeing the others working hard, Tan Yuan and Nian Lin simply went back to cook.

The water in the fields has almost dried up this season, so there is no need to worry about leeches.

But neither of them had ever done any work, and their delicate hands were now cut by the rice. They looked like lines, and had no effect at other times, but they started to hurt as soon as they touched water.

Nian Lin silently took on the work that required touching water and let Tan Yuan do the rest.

Tan Yuan was a little touched. Sure enough, Linlin was still the same as in her previous life, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Thinking of the things she had investigated in her previous life, Tan Yuan's heart sank again.

Poor Linlin, such a good, warm person, how could she commit suicide? How could she commit suicide in such a decisive way?

"Linlin, at what point do you think a person would want to take their own life?"

Tan Yuan's incoherent words made Nian Lin frown.

"Why do you ask that?"

Looking at the beautiful face so close to her, Tan Yuan suddenly felt a little sad. She remembered the feeling when she was dying in her previous life.

The piercing pain when the knife pierced the chest. I heard that being burned is the most painful way to die, ugly and painful. How desperate Linlin must have been at that time.

She suddenly remembered that after Nian Lin returned to the city, she had sent her things twice. Although they were just acquaintances in the previous life and could not be considered friends, she was still so kind to her, and tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes.

"what happened to you?"

Nian Lin said with concern.

Although she has younger brothers and sisters at home, they are all her stepmother's children. Her stepmother taught them since childhood not to talk to her or play with her. Nian Lin, who has been accustomed to being alone and hiding her emotions with indifference over the years, is a little panicked now.

No matter how much I care about you in my heart, the only words I can say are: What's wrong with you?

Tan Yuan wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Linlin. I'm just happy. I'm happy that we're both still alive, and I'm happy that I can still meet you."

Thank fate for letting them meet again.

"Linlin, can you promise me one thing?"

The eyes that had just shed tears looked like the stars that the two of them had watched together in the yard that night. Coupled with Tan Yuan's serious look, Nian Lin nodded as if possessed by a ghost.

But her mind was full of questions. What did they mean by "they were still alive, and could still meet her?" What did they mean by "as if they had known each other before"?

"Tell me everything that's on your mind, okay? Don't keep it to yourself. We're good friends, right?"

If you keep things to yourself, problems are likely to arise. If you talk it out and share the burden and solve the problem together, everything will be different.

She stared into Nian Lin's eyes, not allowing her to look away.

Nian Lin frowned. Friend? A good friend with whom I could share my secrets?

What's on her mind? Can she tell it to others?

But when she met Tan Yuan's expectant eyes, she suddenly felt a little reluctant. She couldn't bear to see Tan Yuan disappoint this girl who seemed a little strange to her.

She nodded like a puppet.

"Great!"

Tan Yuan hugged Tan Yuan like a koala, cheering happily, and as she was laughing, she smelled a strange smell.

"Oh no, the rice seems to be burnt!"

I was distracted for a moment and forgot that there was still rice cooking in the pot. The fire in the stove had already boiled away the water in the pot.

He quickly took out the aluminum lunch boxes from the pot one by one, and fried some vegetables to take to the field.

They came from the city, and most of them brought oil. The few who didn't bring any were compensated with food or money, so now everyone's oil is put together, and the main goal is to ensure that no one suffers a loss.
