At that moment, Wang Fen, the person in charge of the educated youth center, tried to persuade her. “All right, Li Hong, just say a little less. The villagers already don’t like us. It wouldn’t be good if they heard you saying all this too.”
The male educated youths didn’t dare comment on a female comrade, but they were all completely stunned. Xu Tang was truly more beautiful than any of the female comrades they had ever seen.
It was a pity that their parents wouldn’t agree to let them marry a village girl. Otherwise, they would definitely find excuses to wander past Xu Tang from time to time.
After Xu Tang returned home, she washed her hands and lay down on the bed, chatting with the system.
“Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. You have received 20 points. Your total is now 118 points.”
Xu Tang suddenly felt like having some ice cream. She opened the system shop and spent one point on a strawberry-flavored ice cream. As she ate it, she asked, “System, do you have a space that people can enter?”
009 replied, “Once the system is upgraded, the host will be able to enter and leave the space freely.”
“Then how can I upgrade?” Xu Tang’s eyes lit up when she heard that.
“As long as you accumulate one thousand points, the system can be upgraded.”
Xu Tang wasn’t discouraged. She would definitely work hard to complete her missions and reach one thousand points as soon as possible so she could unlock the space.
As they chatted, Xu Tang gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up, Liu Ermei and Zhang Yue had already prepared the meal and were just about to call her.
Xu Tang opened the door and walked out, where she ran into Xu Qingqing, who had come to call her for dinner. The two of them went to the main room together.
“Little sister, this is the scrambled eggs your sister-in-law made for you,” Liu Ermei said, then ladled her a bowl of corn porridge.
“Thank you, Sister-in-law.”
Xu Tang looked at the eggs in front of her and then at the wild vegetables in everyone else’s bowls. She had to find a way to make money as soon as possible.
Otherwise, having good things but being unable to take them out was really frustrating.
Xu Tang picked up her chopsticks and gave each person a small piece of egg.
“Girl, eat it yourself. What will you eat if you give it all to us?”
As she spoke, Zhao Guifang tried to put the egg back into Xu Tang’s bowl. The others did the same.
Xu Tang quickly covered her bowl with her hand. “Mom, you all treat me so well. I want to treat you well too. Don’t put it back… Otherwise, I won’t eat.”
She could only say that. Otherwise, her mother definitely wouldn’t agree.
Sure enough, when Zhao Guifang heard her stubbornly threaten not to eat, she withdrew her hand. Everyone else looked at Zhao Guifang as well.
Since Zhao Guifang hadn’t said anything, none of them dared eat.
Zhao Guifang looked at everyone staring at her. “Why are you all looking at me? Tangtang gave it to you. You’d better remember how good she is to you, understand?”
What a bunch of little debt collectors. Her daughter was still the best.
When Xu Wen heard Grandma say that, he immediately stuffed the egg into his mouth.
After finishing it, he smacked his lips as if savoring the taste. The others also put their pieces into their mouths.
It was so delicious that they almost cried from how good it was.
After dinner, they cleaned everything up and sat in the courtyard for a while before washing up and going to bed. After all, there wasn’t much to do for entertainment these days, and working all day was exhausting.
After Xu Tang washed up, she lay on the bed, feeling uncomfortable all over. She hadn’t had a proper bath in a long time, and bathing in the countryside meant having to heat up a huge amount of water. It was extremely inconvenient.
She opened the system shop and spent five points on a Cleansing Pill. After taking it, she instantly felt much fresher and more comfortable.
She still needed to find a carpenter and have him make her a wooden bathtub. That would be much more convenient.
Besides, the Cleansing Pills were a little too expensive.
She couldn’t afford to keep buying them.
Xu Tang took off her outer clothes and lay on the bed, thinking about how there were still almost two years before the college entrance examination was restored. She needed to plan how she would live her life from then on.
She thought she would have trouble falling asleep, but after letting her thoughts wander all over the place for a while, she unexpectedly drifted off.
The next morning, by the time she got up, everyone in the family had already gone to work.
