They were both sent-down youth, so why did Su Niannian get the better treatment?! Why did she get the better treatment?!

She originally thought that with her looks and family background, she would definitely be loved by a lot of people here.

When the time comes, you can just call on a few peasants or male educated youth to help you with the work, and you'll be able to relax and enjoy yourself.

In a few years, when I return to the city, I'll find a man with good prospects and marry him.

Then, Su Niannian showed up, and standing next to her, she couldn't even stand out anymore...

Thinking of this, Zhao Sulan's expression towards Su Niannian became less friendly.

“My name is Liu Yang. I have been in Kaoshan Village for six years. There are still a few rooms available in the houses of the educated youth settlement. The three new female educated youth can live in a room by themselves.”

"This room isn't big, but the earthen bed can sleep four or five people. You can stay here for now."

As Liu Yang spoke, he pointed out the room to the three female educated youths. Then he spoke to the three male educated youths behind him.

“This is the male educated youth dormitory. The room is a bit bigger. The earthen bed can sleep seven or eight people. This room is already occupied by two people. The three of you will share this room with them.”

All three nodded.

"You must be tired from your long journey. Have something to eat and get some rest today."

"The production team usually gets up at six o'clock, starts work at seven o'clock, rests from eleven o'clock to one-thirty in the afternoon, and starts work again from one-thirty to five-thirty. Unless there are special circumstances, you can't ask for leave."

"Of course, if you are quick and efficient, and complete the tasks assigned to you for the day, the time is flexible."

Liu Yang gave a brief introduction to the six people.

That being said, some educated youth from better-off families didn't care about work points, and a few were late, left early, or took leave.

Anyway, the management isn't as strict as Liu Yang said.

After the six newcomers settled their luggage, the veteran educated youth called them out for dinner.

There were corn and buckwheat pancakes, and some corn porridge.

The corn porridge was very thin, almost like soy milk in texture.

The pancakes were also a bit hard.

However, it wasn't that the people at the educated youth settlement were making things difficult for the newcomers; it was just that this was the kind of food they all ate there.

Moreover, it's good enough to be able to eat your fill; sometimes even that's not enough to satisfy hunger.

Su Niannian came from the future, and although she wasn't particularly picky about food, this kind of meal was indeed hard to swallow.

However, given the current environment, she couldn't easily show it.

He sipped his corn porridge and ate the pancake in his hand.

The others ate as usual.

Just ...

After taking a bite of the hardened pancake, Zhao Sulan refused to eat any more.

"I can't eat this kind of thing. Do I have to eat this every day from now on?" Zhao Sulan asked Liu Yang, who was sitting to the side watching the group.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"This is the countryside, a place that supports the production of the brigade. We're lucky if we can earn enough work points to eat our fill."

"Many female educated youth earned only three or four work points a day, and it was difficult for them to even have enough to eat..."

The implication is that if you're struggling to even get enough to eat, why are you being picky?

Clearly, Zhao Sulan did not understand the implied meaning in Liu Yang's words.

"But this kind of thing is really hard to swallow. You must have to mix some flour in, right?"

Several educated youths who hadn't gone inside to rest (actually, they were here to see Su Niannian) also found Zhao Sulan's question interesting.

Is this countryside a place to enjoy a life of luxury?

People struggling to make ends meet still want to show off and eat well?

"What's the situation with this female educated youth's family? Is she from a well-off family?"

"Judging from this, they probably haven't eaten cornbread and buckwheat pancakes before."

"..."

Several male educated youths who were taking shelter under a tree not far away also started chatting quietly when they saw this.

One of the thin men had a different kind of light in his eyes.

He originally wanted to see Su Niannian here, but judging from Zhao Sulan's words, her family's financial situation must be quite good, even very good.

Anyway, there's little hope of returning to the city anytime soon. It wouldn't be bad if I could marry a well-off female educated youth from a good family here…

Moreover, although Zhao Sulan was far inferior to Su Niannian, she was much better than the women in the village or the older educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for several years.

At this moment, the thin man's mind began to wander.

After thinking for a moment, he stood up and went back to his room.

"Why did Siyuan leave?"

"Who knows?"

Liu Yang looked at Zhao Sulan, and then glanced at the other five people sitting and eating.

"If everyone wants to eat together, they need to pay grain taxes, and the educated youth in the settlement will take turns cooking, cleaning, and washing dishes."

"If you don't like the food at the educated youth settlement, you can start your own kitchen and cook for yourself. Or you can cook with other educated youth."

“Newly arrived educated youth can also go to the production team to get some grain in advance, and then use their work points to offset it at the end of the year.”

“There are oxcarts in the village that go to the county town. If you need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town to buy things, you can wait at the village entrance at six o’clock in the morning.”

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he nodded to the group and then turned and went back to his room.

He didn't want to say anything more; this educated youth surnamed Zhao was giving him a headache.

If you're this picky about food, you'll probably be a problem when you go to work tomorrow.

Su Niannian didn't think too much about it. Now that she was so close to her man, she was fine with anything as long as she could eat her fill.

Just ...

Gu Nan has a bad stomach, so she plans to prepare some good food to help him recover.

The spiritual spring water has a lot of energy, so if Gu Nan were to drink it now, it would probably need to be diluted with some regular water.

It tastes too sweet, and its body-repairing ability is too strong.

The scars and bruises on Su Niannian's body were almost invisible after being nourished by the Five Heavenly Spring Water.

Such powerful repair capabilities could cause trouble if exposed.

Gu Nan is not familiar with her yet, so even if Su Niannian wants to give Gu Nan the drink, she has to do it gradually.

This man, a former soldier, is very alert and intelligent, but you can't scare him.

Su Niannian thought to herself that she had already eaten a pancake and a bowl of corn porridge.

After telling Song Zhaodi, he went back to his room first.

As soon as Su Niannian left, she saw that the person named Siyuan return.

He walked over to Zhao Sulan and took out an oil paper package.

"Here are some cookies. If you can't finish this meal, have some cookies to tide you over."

Zhao Sulan didn't really like this thin man who was only about 1.7 meters tall and had an ordinary appearance.

After all, she was deeply attracted to Gu Nan this evening.

After seeing Gu Nan, seeing him again feels somewhat inadequate.

When Sun Siyuan saw that Zhao Sulan didn't answer, he thought she was a little embarrassed.
