Chapter 18: Going to Work

Ye Nanyi looked at the chestnuts all over the ground, her heart filled with satisfaction. She planned to dry them and send some to Qin Yue. It wasn’t that she was stingy and unwilling to send other things, but Qin Yue would worry if she sent other things. These could be considered from the mountains, and Qin Yue wouldn’t be as worried. Ye Nanyi cautiously looked around, making sure no one was around, and quickly put all the chestnuts into her space. She would peel them when she had time. It was getting late, so Ye Nanyi carried the firewood back to the educated youth point. As soon as she arrived at the educated youth point, she returned the firewood to Liu Lili. Liu Lili discovered that Ye Nanyi was truly honest. She could tell at a glance that this bundle was bigger than the one she had lent out. This earned her a lot of goodwill from Liu Lili. From then on, Liu Lili often spoke up for Ye Nanyi, leaving Ye Nanyi confused. “Ye Zhiqing, you’re back!

 I’ve already brought people to finish it for you. Take a look.” Ye Nanyi heard the uncle who had worked yesterday calling her. She put down her things and went to the back. Ye Nanyi took a look and was very satisfied. The shed was big enough. In the summer, they could cook outside, otherwise it would be too hot. “Uncle, I’m very satisfied. Here’s the material and labor cost.” Ye Nanyi took out five yuan from her space and pretended to take it out of her pocket, handing it over. “Okay, I’ll go now. Ye Zhiqing, if you need anything in the future, you can come to Uncle.

You can call me Qi Qi Uncle from now on.” Ye Nanyi readily agreed. Seeing that the man was about to leave, Zheng Changhua quickly stepped forward to stop Qi Qi Uncle. “Qi Qi Uncle, Wang Zhiqing and Zeng Zhiqing also want to build a shed like Ye Zhiqing’s.” Qi Qi Uncle had already been instructed by the captain. Ye Zhiqing built a shed and fenced off her vegetable patch, so the other three who lived together would definitely need one too. “Okay, which of you three wants to do it first? I’ll come tomorrow to start work. By the way, do you want to fence off a vegetable patch like Ye Zhiqing?” Zheng Changhua was a bit hesitant, he didn’t know how to grow vegetables! At this time, Zeng Bailing quickly answered, “We need to.”

 Qi Qi Uncle nodded to show he understood, and left, saying he would come after work tomorrow. “Bailing, why do you want to fence off a vegetable patch? We don’t know how to grow vegetables!” Zheng Changhua asked in confusion. Zeng Bailing didn’t care at all. “Wang Fang knows how to grow vegetables! Don’t worry, we’ll let her grow both of our vegetable patches.” Zheng Changhua felt something was wrong, and he was about to say something else, but Zeng Bailing went back to the room and closed the door. Ye Nanyi looked at Zheng Changhua’s appearance and shook her head. She didn’t want to get involved. Back in the dormitory, Ye Nanyi thought about how she should tell Yu Chunxiang and Chen Yao tomorrow when they went to work. If she said it directly, they might think she was crazy. After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t figure it out, so she got up and made herself a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs.

The aroma of the noodles and poached eggs spread out, and everyone in the educated youth point couldn’t help but swallow. There was no way, everyone wanted to eat well. The people in the educated youth point, except for the newcomers, had been here for at least half a year, long enough for them to accept reality.

They looked at each other silently, then quickly looked away. “That, let’s eat noodles tomorrow too! And have another poached egg.” Li Yao couldn’t help but suggest. No one objected, they all agreed with a laugh. The harvest was coming soon, they should eat some good food to nourish their bodies, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to handle the busy harvest. After Ye Nanyi ate her fill, she thought that she would go to work tomorrow anyway, so she would find a chance then. At dawn, Ye Nanyi woke up. There was no way, in this era, there was no entertainment, so she just slept all night, it was really boring. Ye Nanyi had regretted more than once that she should have gritted her teeth and bought a computer, stored more TV shows, and wouldn’t be so idle. “Knock knock knock” Ye Nanyi’s dormitory door was knocked.

“Liu Zhiqing, what’s the matter?” Ye Nanyi was a bit surprised, Liu Lili would come knocking on her door. “Nothing, we’re going to work today, I was worried you wouldn’t be used to it, so I thought I’d come and call you. I didn’t expect you to be up so early, the other three are still in bed.” Ye Nanyi didn’t want to comment on others, she just smiled and said, “I’m used to getting up early at home.” As soon as she said that, Liu Lili looked at Ye Nanyi’s thin and small body, and imagined a scenario of a girl who wasn’t loved by her father or mother, a poor little cabbage. Ye Nanyi looked at Liu Lili’s constantly changing facial expressions and didn’t understand what she meant. “Liu Zhiqing, what time do we go to work?” Ye Nanyi had to remind Liu Lili when she saw this. “Oh! We leave in half an hour.” Ye Nanyi nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll get ready.

” After Liu Lili left, Ye Nanyi breathed a sigh of relief. She took the kettle and put it on the stove to boil some hot water. She took out some red bean buns from her space and ate them. After eating two, Ye Nanyi found that she wasn’t full, so she took out a box of milk and drank it. Ye Nanyi looked at the empty milk box in her hand and realized that her appetite had increased since she soaked in the spiritual spring water in her space. “Let’s go!” The voice from outside interrupted Ye Nanyi’s thoughts. She took out her gloves and water bottle from her space, closed the dormitory door, and followed the old educated youths. Wang Xiangdong, who had been waiting to talk to Ye Nanyi, finally saw her. He strode forward and stopped Ye Nanyi. “Nanyi, why didn’t your sister write to me? She said that after I arrived, the letter would also arrive.” Ye Nanyi looked at Wang Xiangdong with a smile.

 If Xu Yulan wanted to write to you, she probably doesn’t have time, right? “Wang Zhiqing, I remind you, don’t call me by my name, we’re not that close. As for why Xu Yulan didn’t write to you, don’t you know?” Ye Nanyi finished speaking and ignored Wang Xiangdong. She ran forward and walked next to Yu Chunxiang. Even better, Li Yao and Yu Chunxiang seemed to have a good relationship, the two of them were chatting and laughing. Wang Xiangdong looked at Ye Nanyi’s retreating figure and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. By the time they reached the place, they were late. The captain was very happy that all five new educated youths were present. “Okay, starting today, we’re harvesting soybeans. The female educated youths will cut, and the male educated youths will transport. The old educated youths can guide the new educated youths.” Ye Nanyi gave the captain a thumbs up in her heart. Great, she could talk to Yu Chunxiang.

“Ye Zhiqing, I’ll teach you.” Before Ye Nanyi could finish her thoughts, the enthusiastic Liu Lili came over. “Okay, thank you, Liu Zhiqing.” Liu Lili enthusiastically taught Ye Nanyi how to use the sickle. Actually, Ye Nanyi knew how to use it. When she was at the orphanage, she also helped the headmaster’s wife do these tasks. After growing up, she also helped out. She didn’t want to do it directly, so she waited for Liu Lili to demonstrate before starting to cut soybeans. Liu Lili was initially worried, afraid that Ye Nanyi would cut her hand, so she watched for a while.

Ye Nanyi slowly cut, and when Liu Lili stopped looking at her, she sped up her movements. When the captain was inspecting, he saw Ye Nanyi’s movements and nodded in satisfaction. However, before he could be happy for long, someone shouted, “Ah! She cut her leg, there’s so much blood!”
