No matter which battlefield we are on, we must do our job well and establish our own image!

After the new educated youth were settled, they were given one day off to buy some daily necessities.

Ou Ruoxing lived in the same room with the daughter of the village chief Zhang Guoqing. In order to avoid having her portable space discovered, she got up early the next morning and went to the town to buy things.

The original owner's parents and brothers gave her a lot of money, enough for her to live a good life in the countryside, so she was not prepared to treat herself badly.

I don’t mean to buy something very good, but I just want it to not be too bad.

After buying all sorts of things, I smuggled some necessities out of my personal space and went to a fellow villager's house to buy a kang cabinet, boxes and cages, and a small stool. Of course, bowls, chopsticks, spoons, basins, and wooden barrels were indispensable.

Because they lived in the village chief's house, they did not dare to be too extravagant to avoid unnecessary disputes.

The next morning, early in the day, the team's wake-up bell rang.

"Get up quickly, Ou Zhiqing!" The village chief's daughter Zhang Cuicui woke up immediately when she heard the bell, and also called Ou Ruoxing to get up.

Ou Ruoxing, a social animal, has already developed a biological clock, and getting up early has become a habit, so he woke up immediately when Zhang Cuicui called him.

"Okay! I'm up!" Ou Ruoxing quickly got up, packed up and washed up, then came to the kitchen.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I got up late!" Looking at the village head's wife, Auntie Wang, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, Ou Ruoxing said embarrassedly with a slightly blushing face.

Aunt Wang, the wife of the village head, was cheerful. She wiped her hands on her apron and said with a smile, "Hey! It's not a big deal! You educated youth left home at a very young age and came to this faraway countryside without any relatives or friends. Since you are staying with us, you can stay here with peace of mind."

"Besides, you have already handed over the grain, and I have to cook for the whole family, so I will prepare your meal as well."

As she spoke, Aunt Wang had already neatly prepared breakfast and placed it on the dining table in the kitchen. "Cuicui, call your father to come and eat!"

The weather is relatively good now and the temperature is relatively high, so we didn’t bring the meal to the main room to eat.

When the weather gets cold, people usually eat on the kang table in the main room, where people stay warm and the food doesn’t get cold easily.

In addition to Zhang Cuicui, the village chief's family also has a son who was admitted to work as a worker in the flour mill in the town.

In this day and age, being able to visit a factory is a very rare thing, and it is no exaggeration to say that it brings honor to the family.

After breakfast, the village chief and his family brought Ou Ruoxing to the open space in front of the brigade headquarters to gather.

"Quiet!" Team leader Han Shengli shouted at the top of his voice, "Today's main tasks are watering, weeding and reclaiming land. Half of the male laborers will be responsible for watering, half of the female laborers will be responsible for weeding, and the rest will be responsible for reclaiming land."

"Our brigade includes villagers and educated youth. There are six teams in total, and all educated youth are placed in each team. Today, there are four new educated youth. Ou Ruoxing will go to team one, Xu Yue will go to team two, Li Lian will go to team three, and Zheng Yingjie will go to team four. The members of each team will help each other. The team leaders of each team should arrange for the corresponding personnel to guide the new educated youth."

After the captain finished speaking, the group was dismissed and those who needed tools went to get them.

"Come on, Ou Zhiqing, we are in the same team!" Zhang Cuicui ran over excitedly and pulled Ou Ruoxing's sleeve and said.

Zhang Cuicui is sixteen years old this year, one year younger than Ou Ruoxing. The family atmosphere in the village chief's house is good, so her personality is relatively cheerful.

The team leader of a small team is also related to the village chief. He is his nephew within the fifth degree of mourning and his name is Zhang Pingan.

"Sixth Aunt, please help lead the team, Mr. Ou. Our team has been assigned the task of weeding, which is relatively simple but a little laborious." Zhang Ping'an found Aunt Wang and said.

"Okay! No problem!" Aunt Wang agreed readily.

Village chief Zhang Guoqing is the sixth child in the family, so the younger generations in the family call him Sixth Uncle and Aunt Wang Sixth Aunt.

Ou Ruoxing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was Aunt Wang, who was familiar to her, who would be bringing her.

Alas~ Although I was a social animal in my previous life, I also have a bit of social phobia. It’s really hard for me to grasp the attitude towards people I don’t know, especially in this special era.

"Auntie, I'm going to trouble you next!" Ou Ruoxing said politely.

"Hey! What's the trouble? We are all contributing to socialism!" He pulled her to the edge of the field and said, "We have to pull out the weeds in this field in the morning. You just started working today, so you should get less work. When you are done, ask the team leader for more work!"

After giving instructions, he pointed to the plants in the field and said, "This field is planted with sorghum. Look, this is a sorghum seedling, and this is a weed. When we pull out the weeds, we have to pull out the roots completely. We put the pulled weeds in a pile, and when we're done, we carry them to the edge of the field. Someone will come and collect them and make them into fertilizer."

Ou Ruoxing listened and identified carefully, fearing that she would accidentally pull up the crops, which would be the end of her.
