Chapter 97: Growing in the Hearts of Northeastern Aunties

Bai Nuo took a small cloth bag of corn seeds from the warehouse. It was called a cloth bag, but it was actually made of old, coarse cloth scraps, tied with two threads to make a cloth bag.

Bai Nuo tied one of the ropes to his belt so it would be easier to collect the seeds. Then he walked towards the cornfield.

Bai Nuo went straight to the squad leader of the seventh team upon arriving at the destination, appearing obedient and well-behaved.

"Hello, Captain. I am a sent-down youth assigned to our Seventh Team by the brigade. My name is Bai Nuo."

Looking at the young female educated youth in front of him, who resembled a small bean dumpling, Liu Yougen's dark face contorted in a pained expression.

It seems like this little bean bun isn't even as tall as a hoe; how could she possibly dig a hole?

Fortunately, the girl didn't dress him in a dress or a polyester fabric for work. When he thought about the female educated youth he had heard about who went to work in skirts and leather shoes, and then looked at the well-behaved young educated youth in front of him wearing a work uniform, he didn't feel so bad.

"My name is Liu Yougen. Now that you're in our Seventh Team, you need to work hard from now on. This not only concerns the honor of our entire Seventh Team, but also whether you'll have enough to eat next year. However..."

Liu Yougen looked the young educated youth up and down and sighed softly: "But you should also do it in moderation. Don't push yourself too hard. Your health is the most important thing, you know?"

"Alright, stop dawdling. If you delay any longer, lunch will be over." A tall, strong auntie gave Liu Yougen a disapproving look, grabbed Bai Nuo's little hand, and turned to walk into the field, instructing her as she went, "Bai, you'll be working with me today. I'll dig the holes in front, and you'll sow the seeds behind. It's not too hard, and it'll give you a couple of days to get used to it."

"Big sister, I haven't finished explaining yet!" Liu Yougen looked at his own sister speechlessly. He was a production team leader, after all. Why couldn't she give him some face?

Unfortunately, a younger brother will always be a younger brother!

"Explain what? You assigned the people to me, do you think I can't explain myself? It'll make you look bad. Get back to work." Liu Hongying turned and glared at her unlucky brother, then ignored him and walked into the field.

This person said that Bai Nuo and the other two met Liu Hongying, the head of the women's brigade, on the carriage when they went to the county town a few days ago. They never expected that they would be paired with this aunt on their first day of work.

Bai Nuo immediately smiled brightly and nodded obediently: "Auntie, don't worry, I learned a little from the elders in my family before. I know how to sow seeds, so I definitely won't hold you back."

Liu Hongying particularly liked this sensible young girl. The key point was that the girl was fair-skinned, delicate, and petite, with a chubby face that looked cheerful. You couldn't find such a pretty and cute little girl anywhere in the surrounding area.

"What are you afraid of? Although we're in the same group, we have different roles. You won't hold me back. Just focus on your work. When you came here, your aunt Cui'e from the brigade leader's family even came to my house to give me some instructions, telling me to take good care of you."

Bai Nuo's eyes lit up when she heard this; the effect of the cloth was now apparent.

"Hehe, I'm sure Aunt Cheng Cuie and Aunt Hongying don't mind, I'll definitely work hard."

Liu Hongying affectionately patted the little girl's head: "I don't mind, I don't mind. Who would mind such a cute little dumpling? Don't worry about it, it's okay if you can't finish. When you first came here, it was good if you could get three or four work points a day. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"

"Okay, sure!" Bai Nuo nodded obediently with a smile.

"Oh my, when did our women's director learn to be considerate? You're whispering like that, has your husband ever heard you?"

"I guess he heard it on the kang (heated brick bed), hahaha."

"We'll have to ask her old man to find out."

Two elderly women who were doing the same work not far away straightened up and looked at Liu Hongying with a mocking expression.

"Get lost, you two good-for-nothings! Are you looking for a beating? You never watch your mouth, aren't you afraid of corrupting other people's children?" Liu Hongying raised the hoe in her hand and threw a clump of dirt at the two of them.

"Hey, hey, hey, you old woman, why do you start throwing sand around as soon as you start chatting? Don't you have any sportsmanship?"

"I'll tell you what's going on! If you keep babbling on and on, I'll dig a hole and plant you in the ground."

Liu Hongying held a hoe in one hand and put her other hand on her hip, looking fierce, while Bai Nuo grinned foolishly beside her.

Going to the countryside is quite interesting!

Even though Liu Hongying was about to plant the flower in the ground, Aunt Hua wasn't angry. They had known each other before they got married and had a good relationship. They were both straightforward people who wouldn't dare to make any jokes, and neither of them had ever taken it to heart.

When Aunt Hua saw the young educated youth next to Liu Hongying watching the play with amusement, she immediately laughed: "Hey, I say, you little rascal, you seem to be enjoying this quite a bit. Are you new here? What's your name?"

"Greetings, Your Excellency. I'm Bai Nuo, one of the new educated youths in this batch. I've just been assigned to our seventh team, and I'll be troubling you all from now on." Bai Nuo was polite and well-behaved, with a sweet and charming voice and a bright, sweet smile. She was petite and delicate.

You know what, this new educated youth gave a refreshing feeling to a few women who were tired of seeing the tall, broad-shouldered, dark-skinned, and strong men from Northeast China.

Moreover, this young educated youth looked particularly well-behaved, with bright eyes; she was the kind of girl they admired.

That pretty little face was more beautiful than they had ever seen, and it was also chubby.

She wasn't fat, but she wasn't the kind of skinny that would be disliked by older women in Northeast China. Instead, she was thin in the right places, with delicate, smooth, and firm flesh. It's just that she was still young and hadn't eaten well in the previous two years, so her development was a bit slow.
