Chapter 107 The Educated Youth Tricked into Going to the Countryside (1)
However, he didn't dare to say it, fearing that the host would be angry with him, so he could only silently swallow his words.
The less trouble, the better.
With the screen in place, Lin Jingyi felt much more at ease.
He began to study the two medical books in his hands.
The two medical books are very thick; one of them is as thick as Lin Jingyi's palm. She said she couldn't possibly finish reading both of them.
These are two books on traditional Chinese medicine, containing a complete list of Chinese medicinal herbs with pictures, their effects, and instructions on how to harvest them, etc.
It also covers which medications to use and how much to use for certain ailments. There are also information on acupuncture techniques, acupoint diagrams, and the functions of various organs in the human body.
It's very complete.
Lin Jingyi took notes as she read, and after a while, the system started reminding her to do a task.
"Host, it's time to do the mission." At this moment, the system had reverted to its original androgynous voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi pulled his attention away from the book and stretched.
"I'm going to take a nap... I'll do it when I wake up."
He then lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
After a dizzying spin, when Lin Jingyi opened his eyes again, he found himself in the mission world.
It was already night, and the air was very stuffy. Outside, there were the sounds of frogs, cicadas, and various insects.
Lin Jingyi: [Damn system, you sent me here to do missions while I was sleeping!]
There seemed to be many people around, and the sounds of people tossing and turning, along with the creaking of the bed, made it difficult for anyone to sleep soundly.
The system remained silent after being scolded, and directly transmitted the memories of this world to Lin Jingyi.
A flood of memories rushed into Lin Jingyi's mind, and she had to start sorting them out. It was nighttime, a good time for her to process her memories without being disturbed.
Xia Lin is the daughter of a director in Beijing, and she and her best friend Meng Qing attend the same middle school.
At that time, the country promoted a policy of sending intellectuals to the countryside to understand the people's sentiments and opinions and to guide agricultural production.
Originally, each family was supposed to send one person, but Xia Lin's family only had one daughter, so she wasn't forced to go to the countryside.
However, her good friend Meng Qing, who also has an older brother, was sent to the countryside by her parents.
Meng Qing didn't want to go to the countryside, so he tried to coax Xia Lin into going, telling her how wonderful life in the countryside was. Xia Lin was somewhat tempted by what he heard.
However, upon hearing that she would have to leave her parents, Xia Lin backed out and said she wouldn't go. Meng Qing even gave Xia Lin a piece of paper to sign as a souvenir.
Charlene didn't think much of it and signed her name.
However, when their class was responsible for compiling the list of people going to the countryside, Xia Lin's name was on it. Her good friend did not go. The person in charge said that she had signed an agreement to voluntarily go in place of Meng Qing.
Charlene was furious when she saw the agreement; she never expected that her former best friend would deceive her.
During the time when they were preparing to go to the countryside, Meng Qing kept avoiding Xia Lin, and Xia Lin couldn't find Meng Qing no matter how hard she tried.
Charlene didn't dare tell her parents that she had been deceived; she could only say that she wanted to go.
Once in the countryside, Xia Lin worked diligently.
Because she rarely does manual labor, she is slow to develop manual dexterity.
I don’t know if it’s because of her good figure, but she often receives blatant stares from some men in the village.
There were also some male educated youths who tried to curry favor with them.
So many people were eager to help her with the work, and Charlene was happy to have some free time.
But a leisurely life always attracts jealousy, and at some point, people started spreading rumors in the village that she was immoral.
She was ostracized by the female educated youth living under the same roof.
