The next day when Xiaoxiao went to work, she did not go with the other educated youth, but picked peanuts with the aunts in the village.
In the field, Feng Qingqing saw that Ye Xiaoxiao was not there, so she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Captain, why don't you see Comrade Ye Xiaoxiao? I was thinking about apologizing to her."
The team leader said sternly, "She has changed shifts. You guys should work hard today. If you run away again or fail to complete the task, your work points will be deducted."
Feng Qingqing lowered her head in grievance and said nothing more.
It was Feng Qingqing and Lu Chuan's first day at work. Although everyone said they were tired yesterday, they didn't take it seriously.
Especially at the beginning, I felt that Zhang Yumei was taking the opportunity to cause trouble yesterday, and I was very unhappy.
But not long after starting working, Feng Qingqing felt her waist and hands were sore.
As soon as she straightened up for a moment, she was seen by the scorer, who told her not to be lazy and to work hard.
Seeing Lu Chuan looking at her, Feng Qingqing burst into tears out of grievance.
Lu Chuan dropped his work and came over to comfort her, "Qingqing, it's okay. If you can't do it, go and have a rest. My brother and I will come over to help you when we finish."
In fact, he was already exhausted, otherwise he would never have brought his brother along. Lu Chuan thought to himself that he had to persevere no matter what, and he must not lose face in front of the woman he loved.
And he had to finish his work quickly before he could come over to help Qingqing. Qingqing's hands were red and she was crying.
Lu Chuan rubbed his waist, thinking that he would not be able to do it alone. He looked at Lu Ze who was working hard and was more than half as fast as him. It seemed that he had to ask his brother for help. It was really a bargain for his brother. Qingqing would definitely think that his brother was more capable.
Thinking of this, Lu Chuan still found Lu Ze, "Brother, please finish your work quickly and help me and Qingqing. My waist is so sore that I can hardly stand up straight, and Qingqing's hand is injured and she is crying."
Lu Ze: This brother is really good at assigning tasks to himself. Don't you think he's tired?
His waist was almost unable to straighten up, and he looked at his slightly red palms. Did Lu Chuan think that he was made of iron and would not get tired or hurt?
Lu Ze ignored Lu Chuan, but Lu Chuan took Lu Ze as having agreed and turned around to walk towards his own mission, moving much slower than before.
The scorekeeper came over and said in a bad tone: "Work hard and don't slack off, otherwise if your work points are deducted, don't say that the brigade bullied you educated youth."
The scorer is the youngest son of the branch secretary, named Ma Xiaojun. After graduating from high school, he failed to find a job and returned to the village. He usually doesn't like to work in the fields and prefers to wander around.
In order to prevent his son from becoming a second-rate person, Secretary Ma arranged for his son to be a scorekeeper. The work was not tiring and he did not have to work in the fields. He also earned seven work points a day, which was enough to support himself.
Although Ma Xiaojun didn't like working in the fields, he didn't look down on the work of these educated youth.
Especially since these educated youth had just arrived in the countryside, they always looked down on the country people and caused a lot of trouble to the team, which made him look down on them even more.
In his mind, these educated youth were somewhat ignorant. They were all sent to the countryside. So what if they were intellectuals? They still had to work in the fields.
Even when they arrived at someone else's territory, they still couldn't recognize the reality, and dared to look down on others and put on airs. They were simply stupid. The food rations earned by many educated youths were not enough to feed themselves, so I don't know where their sense of superiority came from.
Thinking of this, and looking at the way Lu Chuan worked, he couldn't help but feel full of contempt.
Even so, you still want to help the female educated youth? I'm afraid you won't be able to finish your work.
Feng Xiaojun shook his head and left. He had already said what he wanted to say. If the task could not be completed later, then his work points would be deducted. It was not his work points that were deducted anyway, so it did not matter.
It would even be better to deduct more, so that when the time comes, some people will get less food and others will get more.
After Feng Qingqing got Lu Chuan's promise, she rested peacefully.
As for whether Lu Chuan could complete the task and come to help her, she felt it was unimportant, since she still had brother Lu Ze.
Fortunately, Lu Ze didn't know what the two were thinking, otherwise he might have been really frustrated to death.
After wasting some time, Lu Chuan and Feng Qingqing dropped their work in the fields and went back to cook. Lu Ze frowned when he saw this. Wasn't this a little early?
But I didn't call them back. After all, neither of them knew how to cook, so it would definitely take more time.
But when we returned to the educated youth camp for lunch at noon, we found that they had not yet cooked because they had not even lit the fire.
Lu Ze couldn't help but ask, "Lu Chuan, are you useless? Weren't you awesome at lighting a fire and barbecuing in the mountains before? Now you can't even light a fire?"
Yesterday, I wanted to separate these two people and partner with Zhang Yumei and Li Wenli, but Lu Chuan refused to agree and said that it was just making porridge, simple. Is this the result?
Zhang Yumei curled her lips in disdain. Without Lu Ze's help, these two people would be useless.
Li Wenli could only light a fire and help cook.
Lu Chuan felt a little sad after hearing what Lu Ze said. He felt that his brother looked down on him, especially when he thought of what Feng Qingqing said that she liked his brother and only regarded him as a friend.
Is it because Qingqing also thinks his brother is better than him that she likes his brother?
Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but get angry and said, "Yes, I am a waste, and you are the only one who is capable. You are so powerful that you even snatched the person your brother likes."
After saying that, he ran back into the house and lay down.
Veins popped out on Lu Ze's forehead, he was so angry he was about to die.
How desperate was he to go to the countryside with Lu Chuan?
At first, I was afraid that he would cause trouble, or be framed and bring trouble to the family, but in the end, he himself became the biggest trouble.
Feng Qingqing was very good at observing people's expressions. She lowered her head and said, "Brother Lu Ze, if you want to scold someone, just scold me. It's all because of my uselessness. Don't get angry."
Lu Ze ignored Feng Qingqing completely.
Feng Qingqing: "Brother Lu Ze, Brother Xiaochuan didn't mean it, he just didn't do it."
Lu Ze: "Then learn it! You agreed to it yesterday."
Feng Qingqing: "We learned it, it looks very simple, who knew it would be so difficult to do?"
Seeing that Lu Ze was about to get angry, Feng Qingqing promised, "I promise to study hard with Brother Lu Chuan and not hold everyone back."
"Oh."
Zhang Yumei chuckled. There was no way they could learn it. She was already thinking about it. She might as well move out like Ye Xiaoxiao. She didn't want to be a burden to others every day.
She could endure it for two more days at most. If Feng Qingqing and Lu Chuan continued to act like young ladies or young masters, she would break up with them.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Li Wenli was busy alone, feeling very frustrated. She couldn't help but said, "Sister Yumei, can you come in and help me? This way we can eat faster and rest a little longer."
Zhang Yumei snorted, "It's your business if you want to clean up the mess, don't bring me along."
Asking her to help is impossible.
Isn't it the same for her to rest now? It's good to go to industry after eating.
After they finished their meal, it was time to go to work. The old educated youth looked at them and was once again glad that they didn't have to share a meal with them.
Especially the two female educated youth who came back to cook at noon. They had watched enough of the show. At noon, they just pretended to cook and did not light the firewood. Then they sat down and rested with peace of mind.
One complains, the other comforts.
It was not until he saw some of the educated youths starting to return from work that he pretended to light a fire.
Lu Chuan and Feng Qingqing looked at the old educated youth with somewhat evasive eyes, but they became firm again after a while.
