SIAS Chapter 30.1

After settling the issue of her private plot, Yi Qingqing felt more at ease.

[You found the sweet potato field sign-in location in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in]

[You found the sorghum field sign-in location in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in]

[You found the soybean field sign-in location in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in]

[You found the farmland cluster area sign-in location in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 3 sign-in points to sign in]

Once again, she hated herself for not having enough sign-in points!

Yi Qingqing looked at these sign-in locations with regret.

One day, she would sign in at all of them!

It didn’t take a lot of strength to turn over the sweet potato vines, but you had to be careful, and you had to bend over frequently, which burdened the waist and back.

This work was usually done by women.

One person was responsible for three ridges.

Yi Qingqing was next to Aunt Guihua. She learned it after watching her do it once. After all, it was not a technical job.

She didn’t feel tired, but she didn’t try to stand out either. She just followed Aunt Guihua’s speed and lagged behind her by a body length.

When Aunt Guihua stretched her waist to rest, she would slow down and drink some water.

When Aunt Guihua worked fast, she would move faster.

After all, she didn’t need so many work points, so it was better to be low-key when working.

Was it just because she was taking a powerful Dali pill and working as hard as she could? If she was in a group and she did much more than others, was she helping others or not?

If she helped, she would probably have to work more in the future.

If she didn’t help, should she leave work early? That would only make people hate her.

Even if she already controlled herself, other team members thought that she worked quickly and was remarkable.

Just look at the educated youths in other teams and people could know. The recent work was not heavy. The male educated youths were okay, but which of the female educated youths were not half behind the team members?

Especially Comrade Tang from Team 7, who looked sickly and could not work well. She always needed other men to help her finish the work.

There was also Comrade Zhou from Team 8, who didn’t know what was wrong with her recently. She didn’t work hard and just quarreled with Comrade Tang.

On the newly educated youths side, Comrade Li from Team 2 and Comrade Wang from Team 5 fell behind. Comrade Qian from Team 3 and Comrade Liu from Team 4 were not much better.

They all dragged down their team.

Looking at the neat and orderly progress of the women’s group in Team 1, it was pleasing to the eye. People couldn’t tell that Comrade Yi was a newly educated youth.

There was also competition between teams and groups. At the end of the year, the speed and quality of work were the most important criteria for evaluating model workers and advanced workers.

When work was over at noon, Yi Qingqing still felt quite relaxed.

It was just that the sun was quite strong today, and it was a bit hot. Besides, it was only the beginning of summer, and it would get even hotter later. She had to ask Aunt Dongmei to buy a straw hat.

“Oh, my waist can hardly stand up straight.” Qian Lailai was now like a dried vegetable under the sun, wilted. Thinking that she didn’t know when such days would end, most of the enthusiasm for the past two days had disappeared.

Yi Qingqing sighed. The educated youth who went to the countryside in this era were really miserable.

After finishing school, when they were still teenagers, they had to leave their hometowns alone to do farm work in the countryside.

But that was the way the times were and there was nothing they could do.

She could only comfort Qian Lailai and tell her to be more positive and that as long as she didn’t give up on herself, things would get better one day.

Yi Qingqing and Qian Lailai separated at the intersection.
