When Bai Nuo returned to the cornfield carrying a fire poker he had picked up, most people had already gone back to their posts.

"Aunt Hua, isn't Aunt Hongying here?" Bai Nuo hung the small cloth bag containing corn seeds on her belt, looked around but couldn't find her work partner.

Aunt Hua straightened up and said with a gloomy expression, "Your Aunt Hongying went with the brigade leader and the others to look for the pigs. The feeding team lost two old sows, and they still haven't found them."

"What bad luck! Those two old sows were doing so well, they were going to be able to raise piglets this year, but now they've run away. If they've run up the mountain, that would be terrible." Aunt Cui said with a look of melancholy.

"It's all because of those two wretched creatures. What are they? Not only do they like to eat shit, but they also ruin our brigade's pigs. They deserve to be sent back to the educated youth office." Aunt Hua felt sorry for the two old sows.

"Alright, let's get back to work. If we still haven't found it by the end of the day, we'll help look for it too." Aunt Cui frowned, sighed helplessly, and looked worried.

The livestock raised by the breeding team were all public property of their brigade. Half of them were handed over each year, and the other half was distributed among the brigade members. The remaining half could be sent to the commune's slaughterhouse to be exchanged for money. Every penny of it belonged to their brigade.

Bai Nuo turned her head and glanced at Hook Mountain not far away. It was the closest mountain to the breeding team. If those two old sows ran in, there would be green plants and trees everywhere. If she went there, she should be able to find those two old sows very quickly.

However, this matter is difficult to explain, and it would be very tiring to use such a powerful ability to explore. She wouldn't do it without sufficient benefits.

Although so far, the brigade leader and several aunties have been treating her well.

Unfortunately... she doesn't have much of a conscience, hehehe!

Of course, if she could get enough benefits from the captain, she might take on the job.

Bai Nuo chuckled inwardly, but nodded obediently on the surface: "Don't worry, ladies. Maybe we'll find it this afternoon. Let's finish our work quickly so we can go help out later."

"That's true!" Aunt Hua nodded, smiling as she looked at Bai Nuo. This girl was so kind; she even knew how to comfort them. She was much better than those two plague-ridden women.

"Don't worry, I heard when I came that the squad leader had already assigned you another partner, who should be here soon."

"Okay, I'll do my own thing first." Bai Nuo nodded obediently, put on the straw hat on her back, and took out work gloves from her pocket. The gloves were the smallest size, which fit her perfectly.

He squatted down next to the small pit in front of him, took out four or five corn kernels and put them into the pit, then covered them with soil.

Corn planting is very simple. Just put in four or five kernels at a time, and after a while they sprout and grow into corn seedlings, keep the best one and pull out the rest. If it doesn't grow well, just throw it away. If it grows well, you can transplant it to another place.

One of her teachers, who raised her in her previous life, was a professor of animal husbandry at a marine university before the apocalypse. He also had expertise in agriculture. After the apocalypse, he worked at a research institute to study how to raise and cultivate mutated animals and plants for the people in the base to eat.

For Bai Nuo, who grew up in a research institute, the things her teachers were good at were essential skills for her.

There was no other way; if she didn't study, her elderly relatives would throw tantrums, and if she got really angry, they would sit on the ground and cry. She would then have to squat down and coax them in front of all the research institute staff.

In the end, in order to save her pitiful dignity, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and learn whatever she was told to learn. Whether she could actually learn it or not was not important; the important thing was that she had to learn it.

Thinking of the old men and women in her family from her past life would make Bai Nuo feel good. While throwing corn kernels, she would hum a little tune that no one else could understand. When she was happy, her little head would bob back and forth. You could tell that this girl was quite happy at the moment.

When Fang Meng walked over, he saw a small figure squatting in the field, throwing corn kernels into a small pit with her head down. She seemed to be having a lot of fun throwing them, her little head swaying from side to side and her little bottom wiggling. He wondered where she got so much energy.

As you get closer, you can hear strange yet somewhat familiar tones.

"Dig a hole, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five, my own soil, my own land, but I can't find the 'Great Unity' (a symbol of unity), hehe, I can't find the 'Great Unity'!"

Fang Meng: ...

What the hell!

After the hole was filled with soil, the little brat didn't stand up. Instead, she hopped across the hole in front of her like a little quail, her tiny feet shuffling along, while continuing to whine.

"I dig a hole, I bury some soil, then I count one, two, three, four, five, I fertilize and water, and a bunch of handsome young men grow up."

One comes from inside, one comes from outside, and there's another outside the door. They can make money and cook, and they all have big abs.

They were all in great shape. One was pouring tea on the left, another was massaging my legs on the right, and the other two were singing little tunes, making me laugh so hard.

"Smack!"

"ah!"

Bai Nuo covered the back of her head and turned her head fiercely to look at the big, dumb guy behind her.

If she grows something like this, she'll definitely stomp it back into the earth!

Fang Meng, his face contorted with rage, glared at the arrogant little girl through gritted teeth: "What nonsense are you spouting? You're not that old, but you've got quite the heart. One after another, what else do you want? I'll go get you a whole platoon to serve you?"

"Big Brother Fang, you hit me! I'm going to tell Brother Fang!"

Fang Meng's stern expression froze, and the hand that had just slapped him trembled involuntarily. He quickly put it behind his back, forcing himself to maintain his authority, and continued to reprimand this whimsical little brat.

"What? As your second brother, I can't even teach you a lesson? With that rambling nonsense you just spouted, believe me, I can send a telegram with every single word, and I guarantee it'll be in Brother Bai's hands tonight."

"..." Bai Nuo pursed her lips, swallowing her anger as she looked at the big, dumb guy in front of her.

If you talk like that, you're going too far!

When she was little, although her two older brothers doted on her and Fang Meng to the point of spoiling them, they were still punished whenever they made a mistake.

Although she was silly for the first sixteen years, her instincts were still there, and she was no more honest than others. In fact, because of her poor brain, the trouble she caused was even more outrageous than that of normal naughty children. Not to mention that she had a little tyrant in the compound who led her to be naughty as well.

That could easily give those two young men high blood pressure!

Sometimes even Grandma Zhou and her grandmother couldn't stop the two older brothers from disciplining the children!

If her older brother had heard what she just said, he might not have come in person because of what his grandmother had said, but Brother Fang would definitely have come!

Being punished by having to squat in a horse stance in front of so many educated youths would be too embarrassing!

"If you don't want to sing, then don't sing! Why are you throwing a tantrum?"

Bai Nuo pouted and muttered something, then squatted down on the ground angrily to continue burying the soil.

Don't let her bad temper and occasional outbursts fool you; that's only towards outsiders.

She understands the principle that "a wise man submits to circumstances" when it comes to her own family, a skill she mastered in her previous life.
