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

The busy farming season is the most physically demanding. Tan Yuan, who has experienced a lot throughout her life, knows this best. If you don't get enough nutrition at this time, it will be difficult to make up for it later.

She also planned to ask other educated youth in the afternoon if they had any ideas about going to the homes of the brigade members to exchange some eggs for some to supplement their nutrition.

As for myself and Nian Lin, arrangements must be made for both of them.

Transactions are prohibited on the surface, but in reality, transactions take place everywhere.

There are major black markets in the city, and transactions also occur within the brigade.

It's just covered with a nice-looking skin and turned into a barter.

In her previous life, Tan Yuan had no money and could not buy what she wanted. But this life is different. She lacks everything except money.

In addition to the deposit slip for 2,600 yuan, Tan Yuan also had ten yuan in change on her.

Don't underestimate ten yuan. Prices at this time are cheaper than you can imagine. Take eggs for example. In Huaiyin Brigade, you can buy three for one cent.

There is also meat. The commune would sometimes slaughter pigs. A pound of lean meat was only 60 cents, and fat and oily meat was another 1 cent more expensive. Larva was also only 50 cents a pound. After the team completed its task, it would also slaughter the extra pigs. Members could choose to exchange them for work points, and it was also allowed to buy them with money.

There is also coarse linen sold at the commune market, which costs only 30 cents per foot. The price is ridiculously low.

The ten yuan in Tan Yuan's hand is an astronomical figure here, not to mention the subsidies she receives every month.

Even if she does nothing in this life, she can still live better than the average person.

Li Xiu was the opposite of her. Although she was not like in her previous life where her whole family was lying on her and sucking her blood, Li Xiu still had to send food home. Her family was poor, and her father was the only one who had a job, and his monthly salary was only fifteen yuan.

She took the initiative to go to the countryside this time. If it wasn't for her or her younger brothers and sisters, she, as the eldest sister, had to shoulder this responsibility.

When she went to the countryside, her family also collected a few dollars and gave them to her, but Li Xiu was reluctant to spend it.

But thinking about the intensity of the work, she realized that her body really couldn't bear it without eating well, so she gritted her teeth and asked Tan Yuan to help her exchange some eggs for fifty cents.

Not to mention the three male educated youth, their families gave them more or less money when they went to the countryside, so they could still afford to buy a few eggs to eat.

Tan Yuan left work early in the afternoon and went to the home of a brigade member to exchange eggs.

All members of the brigade were allowed to raise chickens at home. Each family could have two chickens for laying eggs. When educated youth came to exchange chickens, they were happy to give them to them.

Tan Yuan went from house to house and actually exchanged dozens of eggs for them and took them back to the resettlement site.

There are many ways to eat eggs. They taste good whether fried, steamed or boiled.

In the evening, each person had a steamed egg with salt and a little bit of vegetable oil added. The steamed egg custard was tender and smooth. It tasted so good when mixed with rice. The only flaw was that there were no stir-fried sour beans. Thinking of the sour beans and steamed egg with rice, Tan Yuan felt her mouth watering.

After just two days of such pleasant days, the villagers suddenly called everyone together for a meeting.

An old farmer said that the weather was not right and it looked like it was going to rain heavily.

The key to harvesting grain in autumn is good weather. If the grain is caught in the rain during the drying process, it will become moldy and infested with insects, affecting the taste. In serious cases, it may even become inedible. The team's hard work this year will not be in vain.

Under such special circumstances, even if Tan Yuan wanted to give up, she had no choice but to go from a newbie who was just beginning to adapt to the new job to a regular employee.

Fortunately, although she is still young in body, the memories of working in her previous life are still in her mind.

I haven't lost the skills and techniques yet. I will eat well, sleep well and have no worries in this life, and my health will be in great shape.

When it comes to work, she is not inferior to the old educated youth in the brigade. Nianlin is not much worse than her. She is not used to talking to strangers. When someone asks her something, she just says "ah" or "oh". People find her boring after a while and stop talking to her over time.

In this way, her attention is highly concentrated, she is able to endure hardships, and her work speed is naturally not slow.

The brigade assigns tasks every day. After finishing their own work, Tan Yuan can do whatever they want. She is quick and efficient, and she always answers anyone who speaks to her with a smile.

After a long time, everyone in the team knew that the new educated youth, Tan, had a good personality, worked efficiently, looked good, and his butt was obviously good for bearing children.

"Li Yun, come here."

Zhou Cuihua gestured to the man who was diligently harvesting the rice in the field next to her: "Let's switch places. I'll harvest your field."

A female member named Li Yun glanced at Zhou Cuihua and said, "Don't try to take advantage of her."

"I know. I just heard that this young woman was exchanging eggs in the village these days. I have saved a lot of eggs at home, and it's just right to exchange them for some money."

Zhou Cuihua's eyes rolled and a perfect excuse came out of her mouth.

She thought the three female educated youth who came to the countryside to work this time were all good, but the young educated youth was too beautiful, and too beautiful women were not good, and Li educated youth was not good at work, not as efficient as Tan educated youth. After looking around, Tan educated youth was the most suitable for her. She had a good health and would definitely give birth to a healthy son.

Especially since Tan Zhiqing seems to be a good-tempered and easy-to-control person, when the time comes...

When Li Yun heard her words, he thought there was no problem, so he quietly changed seats with Zhou Cuihua.

"Tan Zhiqing, you're new to our brigade, are you used to it? I heard you were exchanging eggs there these past few days. I have some at home. Let's go together later. I'll take you to get some."

Zhou Cuihua's eyes were narrowed into slits due to her smile, and she looked just like a hospitable fellow villager.

"Okay, I'll go with you after work. It's 13 cents, right?"

Tan Yuan agreed happily. If she had not experienced one more life than others, she might have been deceived by Zhou Cuihua.

Zhou Cuihua seems to be a good person, just a warm-hearted fellow villager, but in fact, she is a mean-spirited person. She has a son with intellectual disabilities, and she only has this one son. She holds him in her hands for fear of dropping him, and holds him in her mouth for fear of him melting. The whole family loves this one person.

I grew up smoothly, and there was nothing wrong with me except that I couldn't find a wife.

Where in the surrounding villages would a good girl be willing to marry a fool? Even if the whole family worked hard to earn work points for one person, what would it matter? He would still be a fool. Once Zhou Cuihua and her husband left, wouldn't he be blind?

Actually, this is nothing. If you can't find a normal girl, you can find a fool or a cripple. As long as you can have children and leave descendants, you can live a good life.

But Zhou Cuihua had high standards and wanted to find a girl who was good in every way. People in the surrounding area knew about her family situation and were unwilling to marry her, so they could only turn their attention to the educated youth who had been sent to the countryside to work in the fields.

Generally, they would first build a good relationship with the person, and then have him go to her house, hoping to make things a fait accompli.
