Wen Li didn't want to see them argue, so she went back to her room with Chen Yan.

By the time Su Hao and Yu Shuang finished arguing, Wen Li and the others had already left.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they finished plastering the walls of Chen Yan's room.

Chen Yan looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. "Great! Finally, I don't have to worry about getting my face covered in dust in the middle of the night!"

Seeing that it was almost time, Wen Li carried the dried water into the house to take a bath. She could have bathed in the space, but since there were people living around, she was worried that she would be suspected if she didn't take a bath. So Wen Li had no choice but to dry the water like everyone else.

After taking a shower, it was already pitch black outside. Wen Li glanced at her watch; it was 8:30. There weren't many entertainment programs available, so everyone went to bed early. At this hour, apart from the chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs, there was no one else around.

She blew out the oil lamp and went into her spatial dimension, where she planted the few raspberry bushes she had dug up that day, and then took a stroll around the space.

Out of the corner of her eye, Wen Li saw the lonely stool lying in the yard. She slapped her forehead; she had completely forgotten about it.

She picked up the stool, looked at it, then lifted it high and slammed it onto the bluestone slab, shattering it into pieces instantly.

She bent down to pick up the stool leg from the ground and found that the joint between the legs was hollow. She picked up the stool leg and shook it, and the contents inside immediately fell out.

Wen Li exclaimed in surprise and poured out the small yellow croakers from the other three legs.

"Haha~ I've struck it rich!"

Wen Li picked up the small yellow croakers from the ground and counted them. There were twelve in total, and her eyes widened in amazement.

After admiring them for a while, she took the small yellow croakers into the house and put them away. These things can't be used now, but in a few decades, they will be incredibly valuable.

After carefully storing the small yellow fish, Wen Li left the space, satisfied. It was almost ten o'clock, and just as she closed her eyes to drift off to sleep, she suddenly heard a slight creaking sound from the back door. If it weren't for her keen hearing, she might not have noticed it at all.

She listened carefully to the sounds outside, and after about five minutes, she heard very faint footsteps. Wen Li pricked up her ears and discovered that the person had returned to the front yard.

Wen Li's eyes darkened. As a Chinese, she hated enemy agents the most; it was a hatred etched into her bones.

But Li Lingling was too well hidden and didn't reveal the slightest clue. If she hadn't read the original book, she wouldn't have imagined that there were enemy agents in the educated youth compound.

However, since there is no evidence right now, revealing this matter could easily alert the person behind her and allow them to escape.

In the original book, Li Lingling was exposed two years later, but by then, those people had already fled with important secrets. Although Li Lingling was eventually captured by the male and female protagonists, the loss to the country was immeasurable.

Wen Li didn't think she had the ability to arrest these people, so she still needed to find a way to tell her father about it. However, without evidence, Wen Li couldn't just tell him rashly. Otherwise, if the higher-ups really sent people to investigate, it would be fine if they found something, but if they didn't, it would implicate her father.

These things can't be rushed. Let's keep an eye on Li Lingling's movements first!

Wen Li fell asleep while thinking about it, and the next day, she got up when she heard a whistle.

After getting up and washing up, Chen Yan made three bowls of tomato and egg noodles. Then she brought over a piece of cured pork. "Xiao Li, let's have stir-fried cured pork for lunch!"

"Sure! I'll go to Aunt Zhang's house later and pick some garlic sprouts to stir-fry with cured pork!"

After the three finished eating their noodles, they began to prepare for work. Wen Li specially wore long sleeves, braided her hair into two pigtails, put on a straw hat, took out gloves, and filled the water tank. She was ready.

Seeing Wen Li dressed so warmly, Chen Yan looked puzzled. "Aren't you hot?"

"We're going to the fields in a bit, you'd better wear long sleeves too, otherwise your arms will get scratched!"

Chen Yan was puzzled, but she still went back inside to change into long sleeves. "I don't have a straw hat!"

"Uncle Zhou has some; you can go there to exchange yours after work!"

When the three of them went out, the others were also ready.

Yu Shuang wore a yellow dress and small leather shoes, making her stand out. Yu Shuang was clearly hostile towards Wen Li, so Wen Li certainly wouldn't remind her.

When Yu Shuang saw Wen Li's outfit, she made no attempt to hide her disdain.

Everyone covered their mouths and snickered when they saw her like that, but in the end, Li Hong couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her.

"You, educated youth, we're supposed to be working in the fields. How can you go to the fields dressed like that?"

Clearly, Yu Shuang was still resentful that Li Hong hadn't helped her when Niu Zhaodi scolded her yesterday, and she didn't understand Li Hong's good intentions. Instead, she thought Li Hong was jealous of her.

"have a finger in the pie!"

"You..." Li Hong was almost bursting with anger, "You're absolutely ungrateful!"

Yu Shuang crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "What I wear is none of your business!"

Seeing that another argument was about to break out, Chen Jiahao quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, alright! We're going to be late, everyone should keep quiet!"

Su Hao and Deng Wei facepalmed. Yu Shuang was trying to offend everyone in the educated youth compound!

"Haozi, why is Yu Shuang getting more and more arrogant?"

Su Hao shrugged, looking helpless. "You're asking me?"

Deng Wei patted Su Hao on the shoulder with a sympathetic look, "You're in for a rough time!"

Su Hao is now filled with regret. If he had known that Yu Shuang would let herself go as soon as she went to the countryside, he would never have agreed to take care of this troublesome girl.

The group arrived at the grain drying yard, where everyone in the village was already there. The arrival of the newly arrived educated youth immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the male lead, Jiang Chen, who is tall and has a handsome face, exudes a distant aura, causing the young women and wives in the village to blush instantly.

A heated discussion instantly erupted in the crowd.

Yu Shuang was also the center of attention. Seeing so many people looking at her, Yu Shuang raised an eyebrow at Wen Li.

Wenli:......

Wen Li, wearing a straw hat, walked behind Su Hao. Her face was mostly obscured, and because she was dressed casually, almost no one noticed her.

The educated youth who came this time were all good-looking, and for a time the unmarried young people in the village began to get restless.

The team leader stood at the top, signaled everyone to be quiet, said a few words of encouragement as usual, and then began to assign tasks.

It's not harvest time yet, so the work in the fields is relatively easy, mostly involving weeding and fertilizing.

Wen Li and the others were all newcomers, so they weren't assigned to heavy work. The team leader divided the eight of them into different groups to pull weeds.

Wen Li and Deng Wei were assigned to the third group, while Chen Yan and Qi Jun were assigned to the second group.

The group leader of the third group happens to be Aunt Liu, the village chief's wife.

"Hello, Aunt Liu!"

"Oh my, you must be Wen, the educated youth! You're so handsome!" Aunt Liu led Wen Li and Deng Wei to collect the farm tools and headed towards their assigned work site.

"Aunt Liu, have some candy!" On the way, Wen Li took out two fruit candies and stuffed them into Aunt Liu's hand.

Aunt Liu repeatedly refused, saying, "You silly child, you keep it for yourself!"

Wen Li said jokingly, "Don't be so polite with me. If I'm too stupid later, when you scold me, eating a piece of candy will make you less angry!"
