Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2194 Cousin is a capitalist lady 20
Zhang Hui watched as Zhang Yu returned with the water bottle. "Sister, you went to get water, why didn't you take my water bottle with you?"

"I forgot," Zhang Yu said calmly. "You saw me getting water there, go ahead."

Huh? She didn't want to go to the guardhouse, which was getting crowded. She thought that since Zhang Yu had water in her kettle, she could just use her kettle.

Zhang Yu could guess what Zhang Hui was thinking, and said in a calm tone, "I don't know how long it will take to get to the village, and I need to drink water myself, so I can't give you any."

"You..." Zhang Hui was certain that Zhang Yu had seen her watching Zhang Yu's antics from the sidelines, and now Zhang Yu was retaliating.

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous! How could an older sister be so cruel?

When she returned with the water, she saw Zhang Yu eating steamed buns.

Zhang Yu saw Zhang Hui staring at the steamed bun in her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm eating my own steamed bun. Yours is still here, so you can eat yours."

Zhang Hui knew, of course, that Zhang Yu was eating her own steamed buns. "I'm not hungry right now."

Zhang Yu said "oh," and that meant she wasn't hungry. She quickly finished the rest of the buns anyway.

Just then, oxcarts began to arrive one after another. After looking around for a long time without seeing a tractor, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems we really do need to take an oxcart to the village." Zhang Yu took a sip of water to moisten his throat and waited for the oxcart to pick them up.

She learned from her fellow villagers that there were six people going to the Pioneer Brigade: the two sisters, three male fellow villagers, and a female lead singer from the same province.

Hehehe, she was thinking to herself yesterday that she might end up in the same place as Zhang Hui, and it turned out to be true. Luckily, she had already finished her last bun. As for the bun in Zhang Hui's hand, whether she wanted to eat it herself or share it was up to her.

Village chief Wang Ji drove his oxcart to the commune and saw a group of people at the commune gate. He sighed helplessly, feeling genuinely disgusted with these delicate city girls and boys.

The harvest from the fields was just enough to make ends meet for the villagers, but then they insisted on sending educated youth to work. They were quick and efficient, but they were not, caused a lot of trouble, and frequently created internal problems, stirring up all sorts of conflicts among the young men and women in the village.

Wang Ji really didn't want to accept the assignment if he could, but he had no choice. The commune director said it was a task imposed from above, and if there were any problems, he should go to the county leaders or the city leaders.

Wang Ji knew, of course, that this was a decision made by the highest-ranking leader, and that it wouldn't matter if it were a city leader or even a provincial leader.

Wang Ji now has only one thought: he doesn't expect the new educated youth to be able to do the work, he just hopes they won't be troublemakers.

Even if they only earn the minimum work points, Wang Ji doesn't care. In short, the village will never agree to let them borrow grain, and how they feed themselves is their own business.

Of course, he would also welcome a capable and easygoing educated youth, as this would allow the surrounding fields to be reclaimed.

Yes, that's right. There are many plots of land bordering the forest next to the Vanguard Brigade. They were all abandoned before. Some villagers wanted to plant some soybeans, but the village didn't care.

Life has gotten a bit better these past few years, at least we're not starving like we were in those years. So Wang Ji thought about cultivating those plots of land, which would require manpower.

When he arrived at the destination in his oxcart and saw the six educated youths assigned to him, his heart sank. One of the girls looked spoiled, and judging from her clothes, she came from a well-off family. The other two seemed alright, but he felt that the other girl looked a bit like the activists who had come to the village before, which gave him a headache.

However, Wang Ji didn't expect the girl to do much work; the work was still the boy's responsibility.

Looking at the boys, Wang Ji's heart sank. Sigh, this is really troublesome. They were all dressed decently, and none of their clothes were patched. You could tell they came from well-off families.

Would someone like that be fit to do the work? Oh well, if he can't work, he can't work. If we have to pay for food rations, that's acceptable too. It might even generate some income for the villagers.

Although the villagers were unhappy about having to take an oxcart back to the village, it wasn't unacceptable, as oxcarts were also used to pick them up from the surrounding villages.

Everyone put their luggage on the oxcart, then prepared some things to put underneath before getting on the oxcart and leaving.

But Wang Ji stopped them, saying, "You should go back to the village."

There was still no butterfly effect. Zhang Yu looked helpless, but she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, so she wasn't too disappointed.

The lead singer, Zhan Min, was naturally unhappy to hear this. "Why can't they ride in oxcarts?" she said, pointing to the oxcarts from other brigades that had come to pick them up. "Why can they ride in oxcarts back?"

The other three boys were initially too shy to speak up, but when someone brought it up, they looked at Wang Ji expectantly.

“Yesterday, some villagers were building a house and borrowed an oxcart to haul bricks. They worked so hard. If we weren’t coming to pick you up today, we wouldn’t have let the oxen work.” Wang Ji knew she had to explain this clearly, otherwise, if things got out of hand at the commune, it would be her fault again.

Zhan Min was naturally unhappy to hear this. "We were notified of our arrival in the village not just today, but a long time ago. Why didn't you think of this, village chief?"

"Don't you know we need to use an oxcart?" Zhan Min was very unhappy. In her eyes, this was the village chief's way of intimidating them and giving them a warning.

She wanted the village chief to know that even though they were educated youth sent to the countryside, and even though they would be under the village chief's jurisdiction in the future, they had nothing to fear.

Zhang Yu knew Zhan Min would cause trouble, but she didn't expect her to cause this much trouble, actually getting into a fight with the village chief. Good heavens!

Zhang Yu quickly checked the original owner's memories and could clearly see that this hadn't happened back then. Zhan Min and the others just muttered about it, and then continued with their lives as usual.

What's going on? It's the same people again, and they've been through the same things, so why did Zhan Min suddenly explode? What's going on?

I thought the butterfly effect wouldn't happen, but who would have thought it would still occur? Sigh.

Zhang Yu didn't dare to look at Wang Ji's face. Sigh, even though it was only Zhan Min making a fuss, Wang Ji might just treat all six of them as troublemakers.

Looking at the others, Guo Bo kept nodding, clearly siding with Zhan Min. As for Zhang Hui, she was also on Zhan Min's side, since walking to the village was too arduous.

As for Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong, they stood calmly to the side, their emotions unreadable.

Well, since things have already escalated to this point, we can only wait quietly. Even though Zhan Min seems to have the upper hand right now, Zhang Yu guesses that Wang Ji has already marked her in the dark and is just waiting to teach her a lesson later.
