The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 108 Liu Jun is such an idiot!
The rain was pouring down, and the flood had to be drained soon.

The captain used a loudspeaker to gather the team members together.

Dig ditches and drain the stagnant water.

The places where the river is blocked need to be cleaned up.

Chen Huaiyang put on a raincoat, a rain hat, and went out wearing bucket shoes.

The man with glasses looked at him dressed like this and raised his eyebrows. "You look like you're going out to show off instead of draining the water."

Chen Huaiyang: “…”

"Don't talk nonsense. These are bargains. Didn't you see that the waders are a different color on each side? The bottom of the raincoat is torn. How can I bear to buy it?"

As he spoke, he lifted up his rain pants and showed him the rubber boots underneath. One side was indeed of the same color.

The muddy road became slippery after being washed by rain, and it was very difficult to walk all the way to the river.

It was different for Chen Huaiyang because he had water shoes. He stepped down without hesitation, leaving deep footprints on the road.

The distance is too far to see clearly.

After getting closer, seeing what Chen Huaiyang was wearing, the team members looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen Huaiyang felt powerless as he felt everyone's gazes on him.

Especially since everyone was covered with a layer of lining in a nylon bag, and then he was wearing a brand new raincoat, how could the visual conflict not be strong?

Chen Huaiyang squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs a little, revealing the rubber shoes of different colors. They looked like defective products, and the envious eyes indeed decreased a little.

Chen Huaiyang let out a sigh of relief. The conditions in the brigade were difficult, and they definitely wouldn't be willing to buy rain gear like this. How could he not attract attention if he wore it?

The team members are fine and have self-awareness.

Liu Jun looked at him with resentment, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

How could a narrow-minded person like him tolerate others living better than him?

Chen Huaiyang had to provoke him, and kept going around him. Wasn't that jealousy? It would be best if he was so angry that he vomited blood, but he still felt happy just watching it!

Liu Jun's mouth moved, he was feeling aggrieved, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a hint of ambiguous meaning.

If it were someone else, Chen Huaiyang would not pay attention, but he, Liu Jun, had to be on guard.

As the saying goes, you can deceive the mountains but not the water.

Water is the most difficult thing to provoke. Who knows if accidents will follow?
People must have a high degree of reverence for rain.

Is there some conspiracy waiting for Liu Jun?
We must always be on guard against villains like him.

With the arrival of the team leader, everyone's attention was diverted, and their minds were all on the river in front of them that was getting higher and higher. If the flood was not drained in time, the crops would soon be affected.

This is related to the annual harvest. Whether we can fill our stomachs depends on the increase in grain prices.

Liu Jun came forward and said excitedly, "Captain, Comrade Chen Huaiyang is the leader of our educated youth camp. His ability is obvious to all. Can he be our leader?"

"He is tall and strong. The river water is piled up, so he must be helping to drain the flood water easily."

Chen Huaiyang's face turned dark after hearing this. He was so impatient, even a dog wouldn't believe it if he said he wasn't plotting against him!
Seeing the heavy rain, he would be a fool to rush up. "Comrade Liu Jun, we are here to contribute to the brigade, right? I will definitely not refuse if I can be of any use."

"You are not only a member of the educated youth, but also a member of our Third Brigade. You made a mistake earlier, but the punishment is not over yet! Now the opportunity is in front of you, it's your chance to show your abilities."

"You are not a wicked comrade, so you won't evade your responsibilities, right?"

The team members who were listening nearby also echoed, "That's right, your head injury has healed. You were avoiding work then, but now is a good time to show your ability. Hurry up and take action!"

"Comrade Xiao Chen has made tools for farming, which greatly reduces the time for working. You should learn from him and contribute your own strength at the critical moment!"

After hearing this, Liu Jun showed a trace of panic on his face, especially when he saw the team members targeting him and looking at them enjoying the show, his fingertips were trembling a little.

He unconsciously glanced in the direction of the river, swallowed nervously, and finally mustered up the courage to argue, "I'm short and the river is fast, I'm afraid I can't dredge it, it will take a lot of time!"

As soon as the team members heard this, they pushed Zhang Da out. "Don't make excuses. Zhang Da is here. If you want Comrade Chen to be a role model, you have to go first. Otherwise, no one will listen to you."

"Hurry up, don't waste time, you still have work to do! If you want to evade your responsibility, I'm afraid we'll deduct your food!"

One urging sentence after another did not give him any chance to retreat and forced him to express his position immediately.

Liu Jun was being roasted on the fire. He could only reluctantly take off his shoes, tie a rope around his waist and wade into the water. His movements were slow, as if he was going to climb out at any time.

At this time, Tian Dong walked up to Chen Huaiyang and said helplessly, "He lost more than he gained. He threw branches into the water and pushed a big rock down to crush it. He is asking for trouble."

"I guess they wanted to punish you, but who knew that things would go in a different direction, and he was forced into it. It turns out that people with bad consciences will get their comeuppance one day!"

Chen Huaiyang's expression was calm, as if he had already guessed it, "That's normal, it would be strange if he didn't want to punish me!"

"I worked hard for a month and was left with only skin and bones. And I had to kowtow to escape. How could I not hate me? It's a pity that I have God's blessing."

The team members have eyes and are not fools. It is too obvious that he wants to harm people. Chen Huaiyang is valuable to the team, and the team members will not allow him to harm others. He will suffer the consequences if he does evil!

"His plot failed, so he should be the one who is angry. I am too lazy to argue with him."

It would be most satisfying to deal with him and dirty our hands, and let him suffer the consequences of his own actions!
Let the sins he has committed corrode his heart bit by bit, that process is the most torturous.

Just as Liu Jun said, the rain was pouring down heavily, and coupled with his tired and thin body, the water kept coming in waves, and he could hardly stand steadily.

Liu Jun held the rope tightly as if he were grabbing a life-saving straw, and was afraid of being washed away.

The people on the shore looked at his funny appearance calmly. After all, they were holding the rope so that they would not be washed away, so they were happy to see his frightened pale face.

The team members urged, "Liu Jun, don't waste time in the water. Pull the branches away quickly. The water is getting deeper and deeper. We're worried that you will be washed away."

The shouting of the team members made Liu Jun panic. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the branch and threw it onto the shore.

There was a big rock underneath and the branches couldn't be pulled apart.

The more anxious you are, the less organized you become.

He really shot himself in the foot. Did he ever consider that instead of hurting anyone, he would end up getting himself in trouble?

The team member reminded, "You have to get in there and see if the branches are pressed down."
