"I won't."

Zhang Yuwan was a bit rebellious, and she was planning to take out canned food to compensate everyone.

But after a quarrel with Du Mei, he was unwilling to give her the canned food. Why? He thought she was easy to bully!

"How about this! Li Neng, you put this can away! And then you give the hot water to Comrade Du. I happen to have a can here, and Comrade Zhang asked me to help everyone open it before, saying that he felt embarrassed to use everyone's water. Let's be generous today and take advantage of Comrade Zhang!" Song Changzhou's deep and powerful voice was very penetrating, and everyone looked at the opened can in his hand.

"You can use water as much as you want in the future. We are willing to exchange it for canned water." Han Bin also joked to Zhang Yuwan.

Several people nearby also joined in the joke, breaking the deadlock. "Yeah, if it's not enough, just let me know. I'll fill it up a day in advance."

"I'm so sorry to have cost Comrade Zhang so much money. From now on, my kettle will be yours!"

The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated. Zhang Yuwan wrinkled her small nose and said unconvincedly, "Forget it. I only have these two cans. How can I give them to you in the future? Will you give me your life for them?"

Zhang Yuwan stared at Song Changzhou and winked mischievously. Song Changzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his chin to show that he got it.

Han Bin saw the two people's quarreling expressions clearly. He snatched the can from Song Changzhou's hand, not realizing that he was blocking their view, and said with a smile: "It smells delicious. Today is a real treat. Everyone, bring your bowls and we will share it."

A bunch of people were running to get their lunch boxes as if it was New Year’s Day.

"Comrade Han, please give me a bigger one, that one." Du Mei stretched out her arms and stared at the can in his hand.

Although I can't eat the whole can, I definitely won't feel bad if I share a piece.

Du Mei said to Zhang Yuwan in a servile manner: "Wanwan, you can use my kettle from now on!"

Zhang Yuwan felt a chill and goose bumps all over her body. How dare you call me Wanwan? She couldn't help but retort, "I cherish you!"

Du Mei wasn't affected at all. She opened her mouth and took a piece of canned food, squinting her eyes as she savored it carefully. She smacked her lips twice and muttered, "This is so delicious! I only had canned food once when I was a kid at a relative's house. This is my second time. I really wish I could eat canned food every day. I'd be willing to live ten years less."

Ding Min nudged her with his elbow and teased her, "I can't even sew your mouth shut while you're eating. You're going to lose ten years of your life, how dare you say that."

Du Mei didn't mind at all. She said to Li Neng, "I don't want your hot water. Give me that can of food!"

Li Nengcai refused, with a can of food in his mouth, reluctant to swallow it. He rolled his eyes at Du Mei and said, "No, I'll give you two bottles of water, and then you can just give up on this idea!"

"Let's split it half each. I don't want any water. I don't need hot water for this month."

Du Mei is quite bold.

Han Bin gave each person a small piece and poured in sugar water. Everyone had been working very hard recently and their bodies were particularly lacking in sugar. Although each person only got a small piece of the can, they all tasted it very carefully.

In the end, Han Bin gave Zhang Yuwan a piece to eat.

Zhang Yuwan shook his head and refused, "I don't need to give it to everyone!"

Song Changzhou frowned and looked at her, "Everyone has some, you should eat too." Then he handed his share to Zhang Yuwan.

Zhang Yuwan covered her mouth with one hand, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I don't like it. It's too sweet. I can't eat anything too sweet. I'm giving up sugar!"

The girl's sweet and warm breath blew into Song Changzhou's ears, making his body become extremely stiff.

Like a wooden stake, he didn't move at all.

Han Bin heard everything clearly and asked loudly without hesitation: "I've heard of quitting smoking, but I've never heard of quitting sugar. Why do you want to quit sugar?"

"I'm willing to quit sugar, what's it to you?" Zhang Yuwan doesn't indulge him.

Han Bin tilted his head and grinned, looking Zhang Yuwan up and down. "You little comrade, you are always in a bad mood. You should eat more sweet things, so that you can have a sweet mouth."

Zhang Yuwan's smile didn't reach her eyes, and she politely asked Han Bin, "Comrade Han, do you have a partner?"

Han Bin was stunned. Why did he suddenly ask if he had a girlfriend? Did he have any thoughts? He replied, "No! What's wrong?"

Zhang Yuwan smiled like an auntie and said formally in standard Mandarin, "This is why you can't find a partner."

The surroundings were quiet for a second or two, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter. Han Bin's face turned red with shame and anger, and he looked at Song Changzhou angrily, his eyes revealing an expression that said, "Why don't you care about it?"

Song Changzhou didn't give Han Bin any face at all. He picked up a piece of canned food and stuffed it into his mouth. He was enjoying it, shaking his head and responding to Han Bin happily with "hmm~hmm~". It was fragrant and refreshing.

Du Mei, a straight-laced woman, said without hesitation: "I feel that Zhang Yuwan's words are more damaging than arguing with me!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, and lunch ended in an atmosphere of constant noise and laughter.

After dinner, Li Neng rushed to fetch water. He was not so active at work usually, but today he protected the bucket as if it were his own son, and no one was allowed to touch it.

After dinner, everyone washed their lunch boxes. Wang Qiaofang asked Zhang Yuwan, "Xiao Zhang, you are feeling better now. Liu Zhishu asked me if you want to go back to work.

You can't delay the work for too long, or you'll have nothing to eat, and if you don't behave well, you'll be criticized and sent to a farm, where your life will be even harder."

This news was like a bolt of lightning, which left Zhang Yuwan burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

She, who didn't even know how to make a fire or cook, still had to go to the fields. In her previous life, the only time she had come into contact with charcoal fire was for picnics and barbecues, where she experienced life with her own hands.

Rural life can be experienced in a farm stay.

No, she had to find a way to get her urban household registration as soon as possible and return to the city.

Find a temporary job and do some casual work. When the reform and opening up comes, go to school or do business. Anyway, I can't stay here anymore.

I really don’t know how rich the original owner was. He was a biological child of his family and had so much money, yet he went to the countryside.

Zhang Yuwan looked at Wang Qiaofang pitifully, "Sister Wang, I look better now, but I'm still weak. I feel dizzy and nauseous if I stand for a while."

Wang Qiaofang, furious, pulled her into a corner and whispered, "I've pleaded with Liu Zhishu. It's busy farming season now, and all the pregnant women in our village are working in the fields. No one can escape labor. You'd better not have any evil thoughts."

She looked at Zhang Yuwan's arrogance again and could only whisper comforting words: "Liu Zhishu also knows your situation. If you hadn't almost gotten into trouble, he wouldn't have given you such a slack. Anyway, your strength during the busy farming season is useless. He asked you to cut grass for the pigs, which is something only children can do. You are not allowed to lag behind, otherwise the hardest work will be assigned to you, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish the work. However, cutting grass for the pigs will pay low points, so you should be mentally prepared."

So what if her work points are low? She doesn’t need that little bit of money.

She doesn't want to be a model worker, a soldier, or even a martyr. She just wants to lie down.

Wang Qiaofang knew that she had savings and didn't care about the number of work points.

"It's settled then, ah! Keep a low profile and don't let anyone know." After saying that, he looked around.

Liu Aiguo sent her to cut grass for the pigs not because he cared about Zhang Yuwan's health, but because her gossip had spread to other villages. He was just afraid that the person involved would be upset if he heard it again.

"Tomorrow? Can we do it a day later? Sister Wang, I just arrived and I need to go to town to buy some things! Please, I beg you!"
