Chapter 36 036: Have you ever laughed since the captain came?

Because of the episode just now, Yang Qingqing also realized that Fang Xin seemed to have been intentionally or unintentionally provoking conflicts between herself and Zheng Yulan, so even though Fang Xin came over to greet her several times this morning, Yang Qingqing ignored her.

The job of digging clay is not easy, especially for these new educated youths, many of whom have never done farm work. They have been digging hard all morning with a shovel. Fortunately for the boys, Fang Xin’s palms were worn out, and they were broken by just touching them. She could only endure the pain silently, but couldn't help but cast her eyes on Zheng Yulan...

Because Zheng Yulan and Lin Wenwen had labor protection gloves and used shovels, although their progress was a little slow at first, as Li Hongxia said, shovels are strenuous and not suitable for girls. They used small shovels, but the more they used them, the easier they got. , and later even surpassed many male educated youths, and also dug a bag full of money.

When Lu Youjin came over to deliver food at noon, he saw the tools in their hands and didn't say anything. He just shouted to everyone to come over for lunch and take a rest.

Lunch is naturally not a good one. Each person has a two-faced pancake with a bowl of bean porridge, and then the two of them share a bowl of cabbage stewed with potatoes. There is no meat in the dish, but it is stir-fried with meat oil, which can be regarded as a good idea. .

"I just went to the brigade next door to discuss with their brigade leader. They are willing to accept it. In this way, you will have to work hard today. When the villagers are free tomorrow, they can come to help!"

They say they are here to help, but as soon as the villagers come, their work points will be divided out, and there is no telling how many of them will fall into their hands, but there is nothing they can do about it. They have been like this for so many years, and they have long been used to it.

Doesn't Lu Youjin know that these educated youths have complaints? But there was nothing he could do if he complained. There was only so much work in the fields. If all the work was done by educated youths, what would the villagers eat? Moreover, these educated youths are going back to the city. Once they go back, they are afraid that they will never come back in this life. It is what he, the captain, should do to find a way out for the villagers.

Because of what Lu Youjin said, everyone was not in a high mood during lunch. Zheng Yulan and Lin Wenwen went to find Zhu Qing and her roommate Lu Fangfang with their dishes. Zhu Qing sighed when he saw them. Tone: "Find a place to sit and eat. Don't hold the bowl all the time. Just put it on the floor. You will get used to it as time goes by. As the saying goes, you won't get sick if you eat it uncleanly!"

She intended to lighten the atmosphere, but Lu Fangfang still frowned and said nothing, obviously holding her breath.

Seeing this, Zheng Yulan touched Zhu Qing's arm: "Sister Fangfang, what's wrong?"

"Hey, I feel uncomfortable and aggrieved. I promised to give us full credit for our work, but tomorrow we will have to do the work. The first day of digging is the most tiring. After that, the villagers will just follow our digging today. Just dig it in, let alone Fangfang, look at Zhang Qinghe, has he ever smiled since the captain came?"

Zheng Yulan really didn't pay attention to the male educated youth. After listening to Zhu Qing's words, she hurriedly turned to look. Sure enough, although the male educated youth gathered together and didn't know what they were talking about, everyone's face was blank, and they were obviously worried in their hearts. Not happy.

Lu Youjin looked at these educated youths, sitting on the pit and smoking cigarettes. He did not go over to chat with them like he used to do. He knew that his actions in this matter were a bit unkind to them, so he simply stopped going and waited. When they finished eating, he collected the bowls and left.

Shen Yuanzhou and Bao Jingyu were among the male educated youths at the moment. They listened to their complaints one by one without interrupting. They were new educated youths and didn't know much about the situation here. It would be bad to talk too much at this time. …

If everyone had complained like this in the past, Zhang Qinghe would definitely have stopped him from talking. But this time, he looked at the large and small holes that everyone dug all morning, and looked at everyone's calloused palms, and suddenly he didn't want to Stopped.

When we went to work in the afternoon, everyone lost the enthusiasm in the morning and became lazy. Zhu Shouyi, the accountant of the brigade, was a little angry.

"Hey, hey, you guys are working so hard, I'm going to tell the captain!"

At noon, when Lu Youjin was talking to these educated youths, he went home to eat, so naturally he didn't know why the educated youths suddenly lost their energy. They thought they were trying to avoid laziness, so they couldn't help but treat Lu Youjin Jin moved out, thinking about scaring them, and did his job well. Who knew it would have been better if he didn't say it, but when he said it, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Some educated youths with bad tempers even dropped the shovel at once.

"Then just go ahead and say it. Well, you are allowed to kill the donkey, but we are not allowed to get emotional!"

Zhu Shouyi had never seen this battle before. When he saw that each of them was disobedient, he turned around and ran towards the village, apparently to move reinforcements.

Li Jun, who had just taken the lead, couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw his appearance.

"Yes, you will inevitably have to send me to town at night. Brother Zhang, please punish me!"

In the past, it was not that the educated youths had never had conflicts with these villagers, but usually the captains of the brigade were too lazy to get involved in the petty quarrels. They would just let them go after scolding each other, but this time it was different. Zhu Shouyi was the captain of the brigade after all. Accountant, if they make such a fuss, if the brigade sues them and says they are disobedient to discipline, they will be punished one by one.

But Li Jun didn't regret it. He was holding back the anger in his heart. Now he would be happy to let it out. As for being punished, let him be punished. He had long been impatient with those who had been calculating the three or five work points in the fields every day for the past few years when he went to the countryside. Got it!
  Seeing the commotion like this, Zhang Qinghe ran out of ideas. Knowing that Shen Yuanzhou was from the compound, he hurriedly asked him: "Li Jun made such a fuss just now, will the brigade go to town to sue him?"

Shen Yuanzhou shook his head at him.

"This matter was caused by the brigade captain's fault. Accountant Zhu didn't know the inside story. Once he went to the brigade captain and told him, everything would be fine. However, Li Jun might be criticized, and the brigade wouldn't want to make a big fuss. They are also afraid of being accused of bullying educated youth."

After listening to his words, Zhang Qinghe finally felt relieved, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"You said it was a good thing for the educated youth to go to the countryside, but why did it become like this? The educated youth are here, doing the most tiring work, but they don't get the treatment they deserve!"

"Because we are not an indispensable force, and he definitely wants the villagers to do the same work, so that the villagers' lives will be easier. Therefore, although the captain does this, it is unreasonable, but it is also human nature."

Educated youths basically studied in school before going to the countryside, but the knowledge they learned was of no use to farming. It is impossible to let them recite poetry and communicate in English to wheat seedlings, right?

At the beginning, the brigade had expectations, but when the expectations turned into disappointment, and slowly turned into contempt, the life of the educated youth naturally became difficult.

Zhang Qinghe didn't know why. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to let the brigade rely on them and not be able to do without them. But these things were easy to say but very difficult to do. The brigade mainly relied on food for their income. What they had learned was simply impossible here. It’s a useless place for heroes!
  Zheng Yulan and the others had thrown away their tools and ran here when the male educated youths started making trouble. They happened to hear Shen Yuanzhou's words and felt a little sad.

Others don't know, but she knows that these turbulent years are the most difficult time for the educated youth. Some educated youth even stay here forever and never go back...
