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

Chapter 29: Going to the Youth League Point to Make Trouble
Chen Huaiyang finished the work here, but was left at the place over there. Ever since the woman said she was going back to get some water, she disappeared.

When we got off work, clerk Liu came to check and found that the required work had not been completed. His face turned black and he said sternly,

"You two didn't finish your work on time, so your work points will definitely be deducted."

If you just clean the floor, it will be recorded as 4 work points. There is no room for mercy at this time.

Chen Huaiyang doesn't care, it doesn't matter how much he earns.

"Liu, I'm sorry to have delayed your trip. You're exhausted after a day's work. You can't do anything after finishing my part. The lady hasn't shown up yet. I'm so anxious that I can't do anything."

"Just remember as much as you need to remember. Thank you for your concern."

The woman wanted to treat him as a fool, but he certainly couldn't do it. He was not the kind of person who could help others with work.

If he can do it, he will work. If he can't, his work points will be deducted. At least he won't starve to death. The food and money are enough for him to get through the next few years.

It is the women who should be anxious. Without work points, they cannot exchange them for food, and without food they will starve. It just depends on who gets anxious first.

Chen Huaiyang pretended to be tired, got up and left.

Actually, it wasn’t that bad. There wasn’t much work to do in the afternoon, as the fat boy rushed to do all the work.

But I'm still hungry, so I have to go back and prepare something to eat.

The women in the group looked at Chen Huaiyang's carefree appearance and really didn't care. The smiles in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

Mei Niang's idea of ​​taking advantage of others was completely thwarted. The new educated youth simply refused to respond. This was going to be a tough situation.

"This new educated youth has a very bad temper. Mei Niang has hit a wall. No one is tolerant of her. Once she finds out that her work points have been deducted, she will probably be so anxious that she will jump up and down!"

"I guess she'll go to the educated youth camp and cause trouble! She's always been a bit of a spoiled brat, she can do anything."

"I think she will definitely not succeed. That educated youth comrade is a bit capable. Look, he was counterattacked this afternoon and was even scolded by Reporter Liu!"

"Comrade Zhiqing seems to be quite good at winning people's hearts. Little Fatty carried things for him several times! Usually, that guy is also lazy, but that day he was really diligent!"

"Having him here makes things more interesting!"

Life is so hard, who doesn’t want to see more fun!

While chatting here, I went home.

At this time, Chen Huaiyang returned to the educated youth point and took a look in the kitchen. The man with glasses was cooking. He was kneading dough and baking some pancakes with the food that he had saved in the morning, and also making steamed corn bread for the next morning. The porridge alone was not enough to satisfy his hunger. After peeing, his stomach was empty again.

Although very tired, I still prepared quickly.

Chen Huaiyang called out, "Take out the buckets. The water in the tub is warm and suitable for washing. Once you all get out, I'll go in next."

It must be a relief to wash off all the stains, but the only thing is to fetch water, which makes you sweat again. Chen Huaiyang was too lazy to do that, so he would eat and wait until he had stopped sweating before washing.

Now I have to fetch water first. It will be dark soon and I won’t be able to see the road even if I want to fetch water. The space that the kerosene lamp can reach is narrow, so I have to do it as quickly as possible.

One tank is still too useless.

Chen Huaiyang could fill the water tank with just a few trips.

Yang Xiaolin carried a load, and seeing that she was so tired that she wanted to faint, she let her rest.

She was indeed tired. Her hands were covered with cuts from harvesting rice. She was bent so hard that she could hardly stand up. She had never done such tiring work before. Even though she was prepared, she was almost crying from exhaustion. After all, Chen Huaiyang was a man with a strong physique. Plus, he was lazy, so he didn't feel very tired.

If the seedlings have just been watered, you can water them every other day.

Just after he finished carrying the last load of water, Mei Niang came over angrily, pointing at him and cursing at him, as if she wanted to eat him up.
"Why didn't you finish the work? My work points were deducted, you are responsible!"

"How come you are such a strong educated youth but you are so slow at work?"

Chen Huaiyang laughed out of anger. He wanted to push all his responsibilities onto him. Did he look like the kind of person who would suffer in silence?
I criticized him harshly right away, and took the initiative to attack him.

"Comrade, the number of centimeters you can get is determined by Officer Liu himself. What's wrong with you? I worked so hard, but my work points were deducted because of you. I haven't held you accountable yet!"

"You neglected your duties during work. Do you have any discipline at all?"

"Let's go to the captain and ask for justice. Although we are assigned together, you have been missing for two hours. I also want to know where you have been."

"Although I am a new educated youth, I am also a member of the brigade. We are all a collective. I want to see if the brigade leader can help me get justice."

Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, watching the man easily drag her forward. Her confused mind could not keep up with his thoughts.

Why is it different from usual?

He was a new educated youth, yet he dared to be so reckless. She was somewhat dumbfounded. The clamor she had just made faded at this moment.
"Comrade educated youth, let's talk it over. Stop pulling me. You are so tall and strong that my hands hurt. I want to work tomorrow!"

The tough attitude just now completely softened at this moment, "I had diarrhea earlier, it's not intentional not to go."

"I misunderstood you. We still have to continue to work together. Don't bring this up in front of the captain. He's exhausted after a day's work, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for him to handle things for us."

Chen Huaiyang didn't indulge him, "You also know it's inappropriate, because of your own reasons, you still come here to yell at me, what, do you think I'm a new educated youth and easy to bully?"

"Although there are few people in our educated youth camp, we are also members of the brigade. If you look down on our educated youth comrades, there are plenty of reasons to talk about it."

"We were assigned here to work on the construction of the brigade, so we dare not be lazy or play tricks. If you want to throw a basin of dirty water on my head, I will definitely not do it."

"Our team leader is a fair man, and our Third Brigade is also a place where we can distinguish right from wrong. We will never make false accusations against educated youth at will."

"Do you think I'm right, Auntie?"

Every word he said was well-reasoned and logical, and it was impossible for Mei Niang to take advantage of him.

You can tell from her ugly face, which looks like she has eaten a fly, that she is obviously just swallowing her anger.

"It's because you didn't understand the reason. It's all my fault for being too impatient. I'll finish the work early tomorrow. It won't affect your work points at all."

Chen Huaiyang nodded with satisfaction, "I knew that Auntie was a comrade with a very upright mind in the brigade, and she would not implicate others because of her own reasons."

"If we really can't do so much work, we can cut back on it and earn fewer work points, but don't exhaust ourselves."

Mei Niang's temples were throbbing, and she was afraid that someone would mess with her and ruin her 6 work points.

"No, no, no... I can do it."

"I won't delay you. I'll go back first."
