Especially in the eyes of those who are not willing to work at all, every day seems like a year.
Shen Man rubbed his face and felt a little dry.
Even though I applied moisturizing cosmetics, sunscreen and hand cream in the morning, I couldn't withstand the strong autumn wind.
She sighed helplessly and continued to put on her gloves and work.
Even though Shen Man was sick and worked slowly, he still worked faster than other educated youths.
At this time, Li Tianbao came over out of nowhere and handed over a few pieces of candy in his hand.
"Comrade Shen, would you like some candy?" he said with a smile.
Shen Man shook his head and refused: "Thank you, but I don't want to eat sweets."
She has always been wary of strangers, no one is an exception. However, she never feels that this is not a good thing, and it will keep herself in a safe state.
It was just a few pieces of candy, but Li Tianbao gave it to her again and again. She didn't know what the purpose was, but she was not a little girl who could be bribed with just a few pieces of candy.
Seeing her refusal, Li Tianbao put the candy in his pocket, turned around and continued working without saying anything more.
"Sister Man, why did he give you candy?" Gu Nan asked curiously.
It wasn't that she thought Shen Man was greedy and had to accept candy, but she was just curious.
"How did I know?" Shen Man kept his hands on his hands and continued: "We can't accept unwarranted favors. Let's get to work."
She also wanted to tell this girl, who was one year younger than herself, that she must never accept any unreasonable favors from others.
Some things are acceptable. For example, if you help me but it has no purpose, you will be in trouble later.
Of course, she has parents, so she always talks to the point.
Gu Nan, who was standing next to him, seemed to understand. He thought that he might not be short of these things. If Li Tianbao gave the candy to others, they would probably accept it.
Throughout the whole day, Shen Man worked seriously, without being lazy or working hard.
Anyway, take a break whenever you feel tired, pay attention to the rhythm of your work, and don't get too tired.
Back at the collective household, she was about to help cook when Chen Zhipeng stopped her.
"Comrade Shen Man, you go and have a rest. You don't need to help with cooking today." He didn't show concern in his tone or eyes.
Hearing this, Shen Man understood that this was to take care of her. After all, there were so many educated youths in collective households. It would be chilling if she was still asked to work when she was sick.
After thanking her, she went back to the house to rest without saying anything else.
Tonight she had to go to space to have a snack, so she would not eat too much after eating for a while.
While eating, everyone could see that she had no appetite. After eating a little, she went back to sleep without anyone saying anything.
The food has been like this these days, and Qiao Xin is used to it. Seeing everyone eating big pancakes, she quickly eats the second one.
Even fishing is still hard work, so her appetite gradually increases.
After eating, everyone washed their lunch boxes and then returned to the house.
Qiao Xin called Xu Jie into the room, but no one looked.
"Brother Jie, I only have two cans left." Qiao Xin sighed with a sad look on her face.
I knew I was going to go to the countryside here before, and I knew the food was not good, so I brought a few cans with me.
But sooner or later the food will be eaten out. No, just three days have passed and I have eaten three cans.
They restrained themselves from eating one meal a day, otherwise they would have to eat it three times a day.
This is how people are, the more they cannot eat, the less they will think about eating, the more they want to eat.
After hearing her words, Xu Jie thought for a moment and said, "I will write a letter to my family tomorrow and ask them to mail me a few cans. Anyway, it will be a few days before the letter arrives..."
What he said next was that it was really embarrassing to ask for things from home when he first arrived.
But Qiao Xin didn't mean to come forward and nodded happily, "Brother Jie, thank you for coming with me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on and will..."
As she said that, her expression changed and she was very frustrated.
Is it possible for a teenager to hold on when he is alone outside?
Most people are forced to persevere. There is no way, everyone is the same. So no matter how difficult it is, everyone grits their teeth and gets through it.
Xu Jie rubbed her head distressedly, "Don't worry, Xinxin, our family will pave the way for us as soon as possible."
But he knows that there is no hope. How can it be so easy for educated youths to return to the city now? It is simply harder than reaching the sky.
If the job works well, they won't go to the countryside.
He didn't say anything about it, but silently comforted Qiao Xin.
Saying it now will only make her more depressed, and she may not be willing to do the things she has just become familiar with. It's good to have a goal.
Once this goal is gone, it may be over.
As for the future, she will gradually realize it and accept her fate.
Here Shen Man ate a bowl of Malatang and drank a bottle of milk in the space.
What? You said this is junk food?
But she thinks Malatang is very nutritious. Look, there are fresh vegetables and noodles. Isn’t this good?
Satisfied, I left the space. It was quiet outside and it was getting dark.
There is no strong wind tonight, so we can still hear the chirping of insects.
At this time, she suddenly heard someone talking, and two footsteps getting closer and closer.
Shen Man looked out of the gap in the window curiously and saw that it was Chen Zhipeng and Wang Yuwei.
They are all old educated youths, what are they doing in such mysterious ways?
The two of them were very cautious, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then walked towards the grove on the other side of the vegetable garden.
Could it be that……
Shen Man followed him without curiosity. She could hear every sound very clearly at night, and she didn't have Qinggong to make her walk silently.
Moreover, Shen Man has no interest in knowing about their affairs. He will stay here for four years and then go back to take the college entrance examination.
Returning to the kang, she took a vitamin tablet and went to sleep.
The world is big for eating and sleeping!
In the next few days, Shen Man continued to work with everyone, and the autumn harvest also ended on the second day of snowfall.
There has been light snow falling in the past two days, but it melted as soon as it hit the ground, and the small puddles were frozen with ice.
The weather is getting colder and colder, so everyone puts on cotton jackets and trousers, and the stove is turned on twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Because the autumn harvest is over, everyone is cooking separately, and no one will mention having a meal together.
Qiao Xin and Xu Jie work together. Xu Jie usually cooks, while the other one waits for the ready-made food.
Other old educated youths were also in a group, including two gay men, and Chen Zhipeng, Wang Yuwei, and Zhang Min.
And Shen Man gradually discovered that something was wrong, but she always felt that she might be overthinking.
Because she can do both. Chen Zhipeng and Wang Yuwei have a very close relationship, and they are a bit like lovers.
But Zhang Min and Chen Zhipeng sometimes have physical contact, holding hands and so on.
