The team leader, Liu Aimin, planned to first introduce the new educated youth to everyone.
But when he looked around, he noticed some were missing.
Frowning, Liu Aimin looked at the group.
“Where are your Yi and Shao educated youth? Why don’t I see them?”
Li Xingxing quietly replied,
“Yi hasn’t gotten up yet.”
Though her voice was low, Liu Aimin still heard it.
Ao Jiarui added,
“Shao hasn’t gotten up either.”
“Why don’t you call them?” Liu Aimin asked.
“Team Leader, Sister Xingxing went to wake them. Yi not only scolded her but also told her to get lost and leave her alone. We’re not pushovers, so we didn’t wait around for her,” Li Xingxing explained clearly.
Liu Aimin nodded, not blaming them.
Ao Jiarui chimed in,
“Yeah, Shao doesn’t need the work points anyway. He told us to leave too. I’m not a pushover either.”
This laid-back attitude made the young girls in the production team blush.
Liu Aimin’s face darkened, but he said nothing further.
After assigning all the farm work, he let everyone pick up their tools.
He also sent his wife and another male team member to bring the two missing educated youth from the institute.
The tools were distributed by the accountant’s daughter, Liu Hongxia.
When she saw Ye Weiliang and Li Xingxing approach, a flash of jealousy and hostility appeared in her eyes.
She casually handed them the two most worn-out tools.
Seeing this, Ye Weiliang’s anger flared.
“With so many good tools, why did you give us the two worst ones?”
It was obvious Liu Hongxia was targeting Li Xingxing, and Ye Weiliang wasn’t blind.
She wasn’t the type to endure quietly. They hadn’t had any prior interaction with Liu Hongxia, and certainly hadn’t wronged her.
Now that Liu Hongxia was picking on them, Ye Weiliang guessed she was probably jealous of how pretty she and Li Xingxing were.
Judging by Liu Hongxia’s slightly more refined appearance compared to ordinary rural girls, it was clear she cared about her looks.
Even in later generations, many women felt inexplicable hostility toward women who were more attractive than themselves.
Though Ye Weiliang’s body still looked delicate and fragile, like a bean sprout, the mysterious and miraculous spiritual spring water she had been immersed in, along with the careful nurturing from the Yangyuan Pill, had transformed her. Her complexion was now snow-white and radiant.
Her already exquisitely delicate face had become even more captivating, like a finely carved work of art.
Her clear, watery eyes sparkled with innocence, evoking a natural sense of affection.
A faint, upward curve at the corner of her lips added a touch of subtle allure, making her appear both pure and irresistibly tempting.
This unique blend of purity and subtle seduction was natural and undeniable, filling Liu Hongxia with envy.
Hearing Ye Weiliang’s question, Liu Hongxia snorted indignantly.
“Hmph, you new female educated youth, how much work can you really handle? There’s an old saying: give the incompetent the best tools, it’s still a waste. Even if I gave you good tools, you’d just waste them. Better to give them to others.”
After she spoke, many of the team members nodded in agreement.
These two, Ye and Li, looked delicate and fragile, not the type to handle heavy work.
The team members felt Liu Hongxia’s allocation wasn’t entirely unreasonable.
