With this workshop and manor, she had more confidence to survive in the strange times.

She was more confident in raising two children alone.

After several attempts, Ling Chuchu mastered the secret of how to enter and exit the workshop and manor.

She now lived in a yard with other educated youth and could not disappear for too long.

Ling Chuchu just came out of the manor and heard a noisy sound in the yard.

She opened the window and looked, and there were quite a few people in the yard.

Everyone heard the sound and saw Ling Chuchu with half of her head sticking out of the window.

One of the girls in a grey shirt and braided hair looked as if she had seen a ghost and asked in shock: "Ling Chuchu, how come you are in the house?"

She had just entered the house and there was no one there. She had never left the yard, but Ling Chuchu suddenly appeared in the house.

"I..." Ling Chuchu was about to explain when another slightly plump woman interrupted her.

"You're here, so why haven't you said anything for so long? We've all come back from the farm and are waiting for a hot meal. Why don't you tell me what you've cooked for us?"

Ling Chuchu asked blankly, "I'll cook for you?"

"What else? It's your turn to cook today. You're not feeling well and don't want to cook, are you?" She snorted coldly after saying that. She guessed that Ling Chuchu would do this.

When the slightly plump woman said this, Ling Chuchu suddenly remembered that for the sake of fairness, the educated youths who went to the countryside set a rule that they would take turns to cook every day.

Before she came here, it was her original body's turn to cook, but she pretended to be sick and escaped several times.

Because of this, her laziness was publicized.

In this era, labor is glorious, and hardworking people are welcomed. Educated youth like her who always find ways to escape when encountering problems are naturally not welcomed.

It cannot be said that this is the case in this special era. In fact, no matter which era, hardworking people are respected and lazy people are despised.

Before she came here, her original body Ling Chuchu was not active in work. She could not gain five centimeters after working a day, not even as good as a twelve-year-old boy.

There was a farm boy in the village, twelve years old. Because there were nine brothers and sisters in the family, he applied to work on the farm early and could gain six or seven centimeters a day.

Sometimes people would jokingly compare Ling Chuchu with the little boy.

They laughed and said that she was not as good as a child.

The villagers used her as a negative example to educate their children.

The educated youth looked down on Ling Chuchu, fearing that her bad habit of laziness would spread, and were unwilling to get too close to her.

Those who had a bad relationship with her would occasionally make sarcastic remarks about her.

The memories in her mind gave Ling Chuchu a headache. How could she get the quota to return to the city in a short time if she was not active in her work and had a reputation for laziness?

The quota to return to the city was also reserved for those who performed well.

A dozen pairs of eyes looked at Ling Chuchu, and saw that her little face turned pale, and the whole person looked like she had suffered a blow.

She looked pitiful, as if everyone was bullying her.

Wen Xiaoyan was getting more and more upset. She didn't do anything. Was she bullying her?

How could anyone know that Ling Chuchu was just worried about the quota to return to the city?

Someone stood up and accused the slightly plump girl.

"Wen Xiaoyan, you came back from the farm and asked for food. People who didn't know would think you were a hungry ghost reincarnated."

The slightly plump girl was directly angry, "Liu Ling, who are you talking about?"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

In the crowd, a pretty woman wearing a liberation cap stood up to help.

She was a role model for everyone to learn from. She was progressive in thought, worked actively, and her words carried a certain weight.

Ling Chuchu's eyes moved to the face of the woman wearing a liberation cap.

The Liberation Cap is the perfect standard of this era. The heroine Lu Yunshan is not allowed to take off the Liberation Cap except when eating, sleeping, or washing it.

The heroine is about 1.7 meters tall, with a standard oval face, big eyes, and willow-shaped eyebrows. She is a beauty, but it's a pity that there are freckles in a small area on her face, which makes her look very ordinary.

"Chu Chu, hurry up and pack up. I'll go to the garden with you to pick vegetables."

The female educated youth with double braids stood up from the steps and took down the vegetable basket hanging on the wall.

Ling Chuchu opened the door and walked out. She glanced around and found that all the girls here had double braids, the only difference was the length of their hair.

It seemed that even her hair was braided in double ponytails.

In this era, girls in the city or the countryside all had their hair braided like this.

The female educated youth who asked her to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables was named Liu Ling. She was a few years older than Ling Chuchu. Among the female educated youth, she was the only one who was close to Ling Chuchu.

Liu Ling, the heroine and Ling's second sister were all educated youth in the same batch.

Since Ling Chuchu went to the countryside, she has taken good care of Ling Chuchu.

The vegetable garden was not far from the educated youth courtyard. It was just a turn down the hill.

After greeting Sister Hu with a red armband, the two walked into the vegetable garden.

The vegetable garden has cucumbers, beans, eggplants, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.

They are all ripe, and some of the large and good-looking vegetables are old on the trees.

The reason why some vegetables are left on the trees even when they are old is to keep the seeds for planting again in the next season.

The south is a good place, with two seasons a year.

You can harvest and plant twice, while in the north, you can only plant food for one season a year, but there are pros and cons. Meteorological disasters often occur in the south.

Liu Ling looked around like a thief, picked a cucumber, pulled Ling Chuchu to squat, broke the cucumber in half, and handed half to Ling Chuchu.

"Eat quickly, don't let the big sister with the red armband see you."

Ling Chuchu: "..."

The vegetables of this era are pesticide-free, all natural.

It doesn't matter if I don't wash it, right?

Ling Chuchu opened her mouth and took a bite.

The vegetables without pesticides were crisp, juicy, and had a strong cucumber flavor, and a hint of sweetness.

Liu Ling ate quickly, and in a few bites, she finished half a wrist-thick cucumber.

"Chuchu, I'll leave the basket for you. I'll go over there to pick some beans." As she said that, she put the basket at Ling Chuchu's feet.

Ling Chuchu asked hurriedly, "What will you use to hold the beans if you leave it for me?"

"Use clothes." Liu Ling pulled up a corner of her shirt and gestured.

Ling Chuchu looked at Liu Ling who had already run to the other side to pick beans, and whispered, "It turns out that clothes have this function."

Ling Chuchu bent down and picked some of each of the tender vegetables.

Quietly, she picked a few vegetables that were already old and threw them into the manor.

She had a manor and a workshop.

But the manor was planted with flowers, plants and trees for dyeing cloth, and 80% of the land was planted with various flowers.

There was not a single vegetable seed.

She also wanted to try whether vegetables could grow in the manor after a different era.

Liu Ling grabbed both sides of her shirt with both hands, and walked towards Ling Chuchu with a small half-pound of beans in the pocket of her shirt.

Liu Ling was surprised to find that Ling Chuchu had already picked the vegetables and the basket was full. "Chuchu, did you pick too much?"

"It's okay. There are many people in our educated youth courtyard. If we pick less, it won't be enough for everyone."

She just saw only some of the educated youth, not all of them. In addition to the educated youth who are older, married and go home for dinner, there are men and women in the educated youth courtyard, and there are more than a dozen educated youth.

Ling Chuchu looked at the basket. She didn't pick much. She picked two of each kind. This basket of vegetables is enough for the educated youth in the courtyard to eat a meal. If you save some, it will be enough for the evening.

"You're not that bad. Picking so many vegetables is a waste in the eyes of Sister Hu with red armbands. It's a crime. Sister Hu with red armbands will definitely not let us take all of them away. She might even criticize and teach us a lesson. It's better not to go to the village committee to make trouble."

"Is it so serious?"

Ling Chuchu raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised. She just picked a few more vegetables and committed a crime of waste. She was also criticized and taught a lesson?

These vegetables are all to be eaten. Is it a waste?

In her opinion, only food that is thrown away can be considered a waste.

Seeing Liu Ling's sad face, Ling Chuchu sighed helplessly. "It's okay, it's not as serious as you think. There are many people in our Youth Academy, so it's normal to pick more vegetables."

Ling Chuchu walked openly, but Liu Ling looked guilty, so guilty that she didn't dare to look up at Sister Hu with the red armband.

When they reached the fence, Sister Hu with the red armband blocked their way.

"What's wrong with you today? Why did you pick so many vegetables?" The red armband looked unhappy and reached into the basket to pick out the vegetables.

Ling Chuchu subconsciously protected the basket.

Liu Ling stood in front of Ling Chuchu, "Sister Hu, there are more than a dozen people in our educated youth compound. We don't have enough vegetables to eat. Please be flexible and let us go."

"No, you are wasting money and committing a crime."

Hearing the word crime, Liu Ling no longer dared to stop Sister Hu with a red armband.

Sister Hu with a red armband frightened the two young educated youths with a few words, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Every time she took away the vegetables, she could not only take them back to improve the family's food, but also take some to the town to exchange for money. On a good day, she could exchange a few dollars at a time.

Then she calmed down and extended her hand again without hesitation.

"Wait, Sister Hu."

Sister Hu with a red armband stared at Ling Chuchu.

"Why, do you really want to go to the village committee?"

Ling Chuchu shook her head, "That's not the case. These dishes will be cooked and eaten by everyone later, so it's not a waste. I can't bear the crime you mentioned."

"You educated youth are all starving. Can you eat a basket of vegetables in one meal?"

They can't leave without deducting the lower half of the basket of vegetables.

"There are more than a dozen people in our Youth Farm. I don't know if these dishes are enough for everyone. You don't know how hard the educated youth in our Youth Farm work for the people. They work hard every day, but they don't have enough to eat. Everyone is hungry every day. If they are really hungry, they can only go into the mountains to find food. I heard that there are wild wolves in the mountains that eat people. If the educated youth go into the mountains and fall into the mouths of hungry wolves and lose their lives, how can the village explain to the higher authorities?"

Sister Hu with a red armband was obviously frightened by Ling Chuchu's words.

"Are you really hungry?"

"Yeah, really, I heard it all." Liu Ling nodded wildly in agreement.

Sister Red Armband looked away unwillingly.

"Don't do this next time."
