Chapter 13: extra meal

  Chapter 13 Extra Meals

   The working time is not slow.

  Especially in the eyes of those who don't want to work at all, life is like a year.

   Shen Man rubbed his face, feeling a little dry.

  Although I applied moisturizing cosmetics, sunscreen and hand cream in the morning, I couldn’t handle the hard wind in autumn.

   Sighing helplessly, she continued to put on her gloves and work.

  Even if Shen Man is sick and works slowly, he still works faster than other educated youths.

   At this moment, Li Tianbao walked over at some point, holding a few candies in his hand.

   "Comrade Shen, how about some candy?" He said with a smile.

   But Shen Man shook his head and refused: "Thank you, but I don't want to eat candy."

  She has always been wary of strangers, anyone is no exception. However, she never felt that this was bad, but would 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 bought with a few pieces of candy.

  Seeing that she refused, Li Tianbao put the candy in his pocket, didn't say any more, turned around and continued to work.

   "Sister Man, why did he give you candy?" Gu Nan asked curiously.

   It wasn't that she felt that Shen Man was greedy and had to accept sweets, but she was just curious.

   "How would I know?" Shen Man didn't stop his hands, and continued: "We can't ask for favors without reason, let's work quickly."

  She also wanted to tell this girl who was one year younger than herself that she must never accept any favors from others for no reason.

  Some things are acceptable, for example, if you help but have no purpose, there will be trouble after receiving it.

  Of course, she has parents, so she talks to the point.

  Gu Nan next to him seemed to understand, and thought that these things might not be lacking. If Li Tianbao gave candy to other people, they would probably all accept it.

  During the whole day, Shen Man has been working seriously, without being lazy or working hard.

  Anyway, as long as you feel tired, take a break, pay attention to the rhythm of work, and don't get tired.

  Back to the collective household, she was about to help cook, but Chen Zhipeng stopped her.

   "Comrade Shen Man, go and rest, I don't need your help with cooking today." He didn't show concern in his tone or eyes.

  Hearing this, Shen Man understands that this is to take care of her. After all, there are so many educated youths in collective households. If she is sick and asked to work, it will be chilling.

  Thank you, she went back to the house to rest without saying much.

   She is going to the space to eat extra meals tonight, so she will not eat more after dinner.

   While eating, everyone could see that she had no appetite, so she went back to sleep after eating a little, and no one said anything.

  The food has been like this for the past few days, and Qiao Xin is used to it. Seeing everyone eating big pancakes, she hurriedly eats the second one.

   Even if she touches fish again, she still has to work, so her appetite gradually increases.

   After eating, everyone washed their lunch boxes and went back to the house.

   Qiao Xin called Xu Jie into the room, but no one went to see it.

   "Brother Jie, I'm out of two cans." Qiao Xin sighed, with a sad expression on her face.

  Before I knew that I came here to go to the countryside, and I also knew that the food was not good, so I brought a few canned food.

  But there will be a day when I eat all the food. No, just three days later, I ate three cans.

   They refrained from eating one a day, otherwise they would have to eat it for three meals a day.

  People are like this, the more they can’t eat, the less they eat, the more they want to eat.

  Hearing what she said, Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow I will write a letter to my family and ask them to mail me a few cans. Anyway, it will be a few days before the letter arrives..."

   What he said later was completely because he felt that it was really embarrassing to ask for things at home when he first arrived.

  But Qiao Xin didn't mean to stand up, she nodded happily, "Brother Jie, thank you for coming with me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, I will..."

   As she spoke, her expression changed and she was very frustrated.

   Alone, can you hold on at the age of a teenager?

  Most people are forced to persevere, there is no way, everyone is the same. So no matter how difficult it was, everyone gritted their teeth and walked over.

  Xu Jie rubbed her head distressedly, "Don't worry Xinxin, the family will pave the way for us as soon as possible."

   But he knew it was hopeless. How can it be so easy for educated youths to return to the city now? It is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

  If the job works well, they will not go to the countryside.

  He didn't say anything about it, but just comforted Qiao Xin silently.

  Speaking now will only make her more broken, maybe she is not willing to do the things she is just familiar with, and it is okay 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 in the space and drank a bottle of milk.

What? You say it's junk food?

  She thinks Malatang is very nutritious, look, there are fresh vegetables and noodles, isn’t that great?

   Out of the space contentedly, it was quiet outside and it was getting dark.

  There is no strong wind this evening, so the calls of bugs can still be heard.

  At this moment, she suddenly heard someone talking, and the sound of two footsteps getting closer.

  Shen Man looked curiously through the gap by the window, it was Chen Zhipeng and Wang Yuwei.

  They are all old educated youths, what are they doing so mysteriously?

  The two were very cautious. They looked around to make sure that there was no one there, so they walked towards the grove beyond the vegetable garden.

Could it be that…

  Shen Man didn't follow curiously, she could hear every little sound clearly at night, and she didn't have light skills to keep her walking without any movement.

   Besides, Shen Man is not interested in knowing about them. Stay here safely and securely for four years, and then just go back to the college entrance examination.

  Back on the kang, she took a vitamin and went to sleep.

  The sky, the earth, the biggest meal and the biggest sleep!

   In the next few days, Shen Man went to work with everyone as usual, and the autumn harvest also ended on the second day when the snow fell.

  There have been light snowfalls in the past two days, but it melted when it hit the ground, and the small puddles were also frozen with ice.

  The weather is getting colder and colder, everyone put on cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and the stove burns 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 the matter of getting together for dinner.

   Qiao Xin and Xu Jie work together, usually Xu Jie is cooking, while the other is waiting to eat ready-made food.

  Other old educated youths also joined forces, two of them were **** men, and Chen Zhipeng, Wang Yuwei, and Zhang Min were in a group of three.

   And Shen Man gradually realized something was wrong, but she always felt that she might be thinking too much.

  Because she can do it. Chen Zhipeng and Wang Yuwei are very close, a bit like dating.

   But Zhang Min sometimes has physical contact with Chen Zhipeng, holding hands and so on.

  What a mess...

   Ask for votes!
