Chapter 111 Busy Autumn Harvest (2/2)

She immediately grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, nodded emphatically, and fell silent.

Just as things calmed down at the threshing ground, chaos erupted at the educated youth settlement.

Following the instructions of the brigade leader, the five newly arrived educated youths returned to their rooms.

The boys' side went relatively smoothly. Lü Hongwei smoothed things over, Duan Zhou worked efficiently, and Tao Yuming, though dazed, could still move his hands and feet. The three of them quickly finished tidying up and lay down to rest.

On the female educated youth's side, it was utter chaos.

"Sis, I'm thirsty, could you get me some hot water?"

As soon as Jin Yuhong entered the room, she threw her luggage on the ground, as if she were ordering a maid around.

She kicked off her squeaky little leather shoes with disgust, stepping barefoot onto the cold mud, her brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly.

Jin Zhihong silently tidied up their luggage. Upon hearing this, she said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "Yuhong, there's no pot or firewood here, so we can't boil water."

"Can't it be burned?"

Jin Yuhong's tone suddenly rose, and she looked at her sister as if she were looking at a bunch of useless trash.

"I don't care if you can boil it or not! I just want hot water! What use are you if you can't even handle this simple thing?!"

In her past life, it was this idiot who dragged her down!

In this lifetime, she can forget about dragging her down and making her live that kind of miserable life again!

Jin Zhihong trembled from the shout, her eyes reddening. She dared not utter a word and could only stand there helplessly.

Jin Yuhong's shouts, like the cawing of crows, pierced directly through the thin mud wall.

"What's all the noise about! Can't a person get any sleep?!"

With a loud bang, the door to the west room was kicked open.

Duan Zhou, with his messy hair and dark face, stood at the door, his eyes shooting over like knives.

Jin Yuhong was startled, then put her hands on her hips, ready to retort: ​​"You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Have you been the one making the most noise all this way?!"

Duan Zhou rushed over in a few steps. He wasn't tall, but his fiery temper was enough to knock someone over.

"Does she think she's some kind of rich young lady? Ordering people around like she owns a place?"

"Want some hot water? There's plenty in the well, enough for everyone!"

"If you think it's too cold, go put it in the sun! Stop yelling and disturbing my sleep!"

He speaks like a machine gun, fast and forceful, with a fiery flavor unique to Chengdu.

"You...you country bumpkin! How dare you insult me! What business is it of yours if I order my sister around!" Jin Yuhong was so angry that her face turned blue. She had never been treated like this before.

"So what if I curse you? I might as well hit you!"

"Let me tell you, you can order around whoever you want, but don't you dare disturb my rest, or I'll kill you!"

Duan Zhou's morning grumpiness is extraordinary. He already had blisters on his feet from walking, and now he was sleepy and tired, and his feet hurt. He finally managed to coax himself to sleep, but this brat was howling and yelling outside!

He couldn't contain his anger at all, and through gritted teeth he roared at Jin Yuhong: "A fool like you, crying and complaining about every little hardship, and you want to come to the countryside to build the motherland?"

"I think you're here to cause trouble for our country!"

"If you dare make another sound, believe me, I'll throw you right into the well and let you drink your fill!"

Jin Yuhong was stunned by his reckless and ruthless attitude.

She opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word, and watched helplessly as Duan Zhou finished cursing, then slammed the door shut and went back inside.

She was the only one left standing in the courtyard, trembling with anger.

"Ring ring—"

Just then, the work bell rang, as if urging everyone to get back to work.

The afternoon harvest began. (This chapter has been finished. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
