The next morning, Sheng Nuan had breakfast at the Educated Youth Station, and then left the Educated Youth Station with Su Wen and other educated youths to prepare for work.
She was assigned the job of picking cotton, while Su Wen broke corn.
Chu Lan's male educated youths were also assigned to break corn and carry corn. Previously, in order to work with Chu Lan, Sheng Nuan changed jobs with Su Wen and asked Su Wen to pick cotton while she broke corn by herself.
Her face and neck were covered with red scratches and rashes after being brushed with corn leaves in the cornfield. She suffered from pain, itching and discomfort for several days.
Walking towards the field, Su Wen asked Sheng Nuan: "Nuan Nuan, are you still going to break the corn today?"
Although Su Wen didn't want Sheng Nuan and Chu Lan to stick together, she would rather pick cotton than break corn.
Breaking corn is too uncomfortable, but picking cotton is much more comfortable.
But the next moment she saw Sheng Nuan shaking his head: "No, I'll go do my own work today."
Sheng Nuan deliberately smiled shyly at Su Wen: "I'm afraid that others will gossip, so I'd better go pick cotton. By the way, Wenwen, you have to help me take care of Chu Lan."
Su Wen was disappointed when she heard Sheng Nuan said she would not exchange jobs, but she heard Sheng Nuan specifically tell her to help Chu Lan.
Su Wen's heart suddenly moved.
In this way, she can get close to Chu Lan legitimately!
She looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "Okay, since you said so, I will help him later for your sake."
Sheng Nuan raised her lips: "Thank you, Wenwen."
Su Wen also hugged her arm and said softly: "Who makes us the best friends?"
At the intersection, Sheng Nuan and Su Wen separated. Su Wen and the others walked towards the corn field, while Sheng Nuan walked towards the cotton field.
When she arrived at the cotton field, she couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw the large field of cotton. At this moment, several little kids passed by not far away, cutting grass and catching bugs.
Among them happens to be Ning'an.
Ning'an and several of his friends all looked to be about seven or eight years old. They were all sallow and thin, and you could tell at a glance that they were malnourished.
Sheng Nuan paused for a moment, then an idea came to her. The next moment, she waved to Ning'an: "Ning'an."
Ning An looked up and was a little surprised to see it was her, but he still ran to her and looked at her obediently.
Sheng Nuan touched the little boy's head: "Call your friends over and tell you something."
After a while, Sheng Nuan made an agreement with these seven little brats: they would help her pick cotton, and she would take care of their lunch.
They moved at will. Although these children had not earned much work points, they were very good at work and were soon immersed in the fields.
Sheng Nuan glanced at it and turned back.
There is only one female educated youth in the educated youth station. The female educated youth is named Tao Ling. She likes to cook, so she is responsible for cooking for everyone.
Sheng Nuan took her food stamps, the flour the original owner bought two days ago, and the remaining half of the pheasant, and gave them all to Tao Ling. She also gave a few food stamps as payment and asked her to cook for the children.
.
Tao Ling loved cooking. When she saw a whole bag of Fuqiang powder and those things, her eyes suddenly lit up.
After asking Qing Shengnuan who she wanted to feed, Tao Ling patted her chest: "Leave it to me. I'll make chicken noodle soup today and make sure those little brats swallow their tongues."
Sheng Nuan smiled and thanked: "Thank you."
"It's okay, I already have time, and besides, you gave me food stamps...I won't suffer any loss."
After handing the things to Tao Ling, Sheng Nuan went back to the cotton field. The children had already picked a lot and were very busy.
In less than two hours, a large cotton field was about to be picked. Sheng Nuan was a little dumbfounded. She didn't know how many times she asked the children to pick slowly.
At this moment, a figure passed by not far away.
It's Ning Zhan.
Ning Zhan saw his brother and his friends working in the fields from a distance. He felt strange in his heart. He came over and called Ning An: "Ning An, what are you doing?" Bayi Chinese website
Ning An stopped and was about to make a gesture when the pillar next to him had already spoken first: "We are helping Sheng Zhiqing work, she is too weak to do it."
Ning Zhan looked at Sheng Nuan, who was lazing around with his pockets open, and frowned slightly.
Sheng Nuan smiled and explained: "I can't do it alone, so ask them for help and take care of their lunch."
The food at the educated youth station is definitely better than at home. No wonder these kids are so energetic.
Ning Zhan didn't say anything, looked at her, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Sheng Nuan knew that Ning Zhan often set traps in the mountains to catch game in exchange for money or food, so he came to see what he had set.
The young man is tall and slender, somewhat thin, and his exposed arms have clear texture... not exaggerated, but very beautiful.
Thinking about the way the girls in the village and the educated youth station avoided Ning Zhan like snakes and scorpions but couldn't help peeking, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
It’s no wonder that these girls couldn’t help but peek after hearing Ning Zhan’s bad reputation. After all, in her era, it wouldn’t be a problem for someone like Ning Zhan to be a popular celebrity... maybe he would still be top-notch. That kind of.
Before noon, the cotton in one field had been picked.
After Sheng Nuan and the seven children packed their things, they took them directly back to the educated youth station.
The other educated youths hadn't gotten off work yet, so Tao Ling had already prepared the meal Sheng Nuan asked her to help cook.
Seeing a few little monkey-like children coming in, Tao Ling immediately laughed and said, "Wash your hands and sit there and wait. The water has boiled. It will be fine soon."
The seven children then ran outside to wash their hands, then came in and sat at the table obediently. Smelling the aroma coming from the direction of the kitchen, each one of them kept twitching their noses and swallowing.
Sheng Nuan smiled and said: "It will be fine soon."
After a while, the chicken soup noodles were served.
When they saw the food placed in front of them, the seven children were stunned. At first, they opened their eyes wide in disbelief. When they came back to their senses, they picked up their chopsticks, lowered their heads and started eating without raising their heads.
The clear and oily chicken soup, the white noodles, the white and green chopped green onions... They may not be able to eat chicken soup noodles even during the Chinese New Year.
Real chicken soup, pure white noodles, and half a salted duck egg for each person on the side.
For a moment, the only sound in the educated youth station was the sound of children eating noodles... Soon, Ning'an was the first to finish a whole bowl of noodles.
He raised his head and wiped his mouth, feeling a little dazed.
Chicken noodle soup is so delicious...wait a minute, what does chicken noodle soup taste like?
He looked down at the bottom of the bowl where not even a bit of soup was left, looking a little confused.
Did he just eat and drink it all? So quickly?
Sheng Nuan laughed: "Don't worry, and there are two bowls for each person today..."
While seven children and two adults, Sheng Nuan and Tao Ling, were sitting at the educated youth station turning on a small stove, over there in the cornfield, the educated youth were working in full swing.
Chu Lan came from a scholarly family and had never done such menial work before. However, he was not pretentious, and he was not willing to be outdone. If others carried two bags of corn cobs at a time, he would also carry two bags of corn cobs.
Su Wen was helping him hold the bag. When she saw a bag of corn suddenly slipping down, she quickly reached out and let out a low cry.
Her finger was cut, and blood immediately poured out.
When Chu Lan saw it, he quickly put down the bag: "Injured? Stop doing it and go deal with the wound quickly."
Su Wen put her finger in her mouth, shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, just a little injury... By the way, don't let Nuannuan know, otherwise she will feel guilty."
Su Wen whispered: "After all, she asked me to help you."
Chu Lan paused slightly, seeing the wound on the girl's green-white finger, and then nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything, you go back and bandage it first, and be obedient."
Su Wen seemed a little annoyed and glanced at him: "Then you should be careful and don't get hurt, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Nuannuan."
Chu Lan couldn't laugh or cry: "I know, you should go back quickly."
Su Wen then walked back.
After taking a few steps, she looked back and saw that Chu Lan had picked up the corn bag again.
He was wearing a military green coat, and his skin was different from most of the people around him, fair and elegant.
But he was gentle but not thin, and strode forward with a bag of corn on his shoulders.
Su Wen pursed her lips and looked away, her eyes filled with a dim light...
