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

Chapter 79 Chen Huaiyang is good at slapping people in the face!
Chen Huaiyang understood after taking a look around, and squatted down in a sheltered place, looking calm and not anxious at all.

The old team member was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of his mouth, but there was nothing he could do.

The captains of other teams were running around, wishing they could get their turn right away. Only their team three sent an educated youth, who was lazy and afraid of the cold. He found a place sheltered from the wind and sat down, not in a hurry at all.

It makes people so angry that they want to pull him up.

"What is the captain thinking? There are many steady people in our team. How come they sent an educated youth here who can't stand the slightest hardship? I'm afraid all our efforts today are in vain."

"How much suffering can a comrade from the city endure? He must have fooled the captain with his sweet talk, so he trusted him so much."

"Oh! Don't mention it. I guess the educated youth have never seen this kind of scene before. They just come here to join in the fun. It's hard to find someone to use them."

"Don't think about it. It's definitely a waste of time. I just feel sorry for the cow. I'm afraid it will get impatient again after spending a whole day outside suffering."

"Old Zhong is so steady! Usually he is a very worried guy, but now he is just sleeping soundly. When did he become so carefree?"

"Who knows? How about prying him up and asking him?"

"Forget it. We have to wait anyway. There's no point in calling him. Let him sleep if he wants. He must be exhausted from watching over the dam all this time."

"I am old enough to control those young people."

Chen Huaiyang could hear the team members' murmurings, but he still didn't open his eyes. There was no point in being anxious now. He couldn't bribe people in public!

Who has the courage to pay attention to him!

It's not a big deal to smoke one or two cigarettes, but if you take out something more, who would dare to wipe it away quietly?
Unless you don't want to hold this golden rice bowl anymore.

One act of speculation is enough to get you into trouble.

So, now I can only be patient and wait.

I can't sleep, it's so cold, and if I do fall asleep I might get sick again.
When it was almost noon, Chen Huaiyang said hello to Lao Zhong and left. Lao Zhong opened his eyes, glanced at him, and closed his eyes again.

It's impossible to get up, what's the point of getting up?

The cows had all been untied from their bandages and were grazing nearby, leaving them the only ones left to endure the misery here.

I hope Chen Huaiyang has some ability!
Otherwise you'll be blown by the cold wind all day and go back home full of anger!

Chen Huaiyang was calm and composed. Holding his lunch box, he managed to sneak into the canteen of the Grain Management Office.

Chen Huaiyang had a clear goal. He spotted the fat clerk at a glance. He walked towards the cafeteria with a lunch box in his hand, moving slowly and without any impatience.

That fat body probably can't move fast.

It can be seen that the food is quite good, otherwise such a embryo would not have been raised.

"Big Brother, I've been looking for you for a long time, and now you are here!"

Chen Huaiyang took the other person's lunch box and said with envy, "I've always heard that the food in the cafeteria is pretty good. Today I can finally broaden my horizons."

The clerk curled his lips and smiled. They were all shrewd people, how could they not know the purpose of the other party's visit?
So I didn't resist and followed the other party's words and asked, "Brother, what do you want to eat today? The food in the cafeteria is definitely good, at least it's full of oil and water."

Chen Huaiyang replied, "You have the final say, I will go with you."

There was no reason for the secretary to refuse, so he took him and asked for a full meal without hesitation, and the lunch box was piled full.

There were only staple foods and meat dishes, and there was no trace of any vegetarian dishes. It was obvious that they were not polite at all!
Chen Huaiyang didn't even blink, he took out the money and went to find a place to sit, "Brother, I know you work at the grain management office, I want to ask you for help."

"I'm afraid it will take a whole day to queue up like this! Can you help me think of a solution and free up some time?" He stuffed two more packs of cigarettes into his pocket without any mercy.

The clerk took a look at it, his eyes narrowed with smiles, and put it into his pocket without hesitation.

"Brother, you don't know my difficulties. I am always like this at this time. I am so busy that I don't even have time to breathe. I am exhausted every day!"

Chen Huaiyang nodded, "I know you're in trouble, please help me. I just got this job, I don't want to let it get to me!"

"Just help me move around so that I can get things done properly and avoid getting into trouble."

The officer was grinning from ear to ear. He liked meeting such open-minded people. The team leaders he usually met were all stingy. How could he be willing to spend money?
It’s good enough to be able to smoke two cigarettes. Young people are really generous!
"Alright, since you call me brother, I can't let you spend money. You can take your people to the back and I will take some time to collect it for you."

Chen Huaiyang smiled, complimented him again, said the name of his team, and then left.

When Chen Huaiyang walked over, two old team members were watching the ox cart. They came up to Old Zhong and whispered something in his ear. Then Old Zhong changed his lazy look and became energetic.

With surprise in his eyes, he asked, "Are you sure? Are you being fooled?"

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes and said, "Since you don't believe it, just wait here!"

Lao Zhong demonstrated his trust with actions and asked the old team member to bring the cow over. The old team member didn't understand why, and they looked at each other in confusion when Lao Zhong whispered the reason to them.

In order to avoid going through so much trouble, he specially asked someone to provide a guarantee and only drove the ox cart over after getting confirmed information.

The other teams saw this and asked in confusion, "Why are you leaving? Are you not going to wait?"

Lao Zhong said, "Look at this team. I will go out in the dark tomorrow to avoid wasting time waiting."

"Let's go first and come early tomorrow."

The people behind looked at them with hesitation, and kept wandering, wondering whether to leave or stay. But when they saw them leading the cows, they left without hesitation.

Someone was puzzled and sent someone to keep an eye on them. When they turned around, they saw a group of people going to the back door to deliver food. They almost couldn't help cursing, but fortunately they didn't follow them, otherwise they would have been fooled.

I cursed inwardly that the three teams were quite dishonest.

Chen Huaiyang couldn't care less about others. He just wanted to pay his dues as soon as possible and leave. As for what others thought, he didn't care at all.
The chubby clerk didn't show any choosiness. He just gave it a quick inspection and weighed it.

During this time, he also chatted with Chen Huaiyang. Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, those who didn't know would think they were related!
The old team member's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw this.

They knew very well how difficult this official was. Every time they came to deliver food, he was picky and had a lot of it deducted from them. Yet now his attitude was so nice.

Although deductions were made, they were still within the normal range.

The entire process of paying public grain was completed smoothly, and all the gossip that was going on earlier was silenced at this moment.

He is very capable. He can handle all the things that the captain cannot do.

Just for this reason, you can't give people a cold shoulder.

The food was handed over easily, and the old team members looked at each other, and the atmosphere became silent. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one said a word.

It was Lao Zhong's smiling voice that broke the deadlock, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and drive the ox cart back!"

"It's not enough to be blown by the wind! I still want to fill my stomach with air!"

"You all didn't trust Xiao Chen's ability earlier, and you all grumbled to him. Now that he has done the job, you are embarrassed!"

"How do you think I can just lie back and relax? I have someone to cover this matter, so there's no need to be afraid!"

"The fact that the captain can entrust the task to him with confidence shows that he has the ability. If someone else were to do it, no one else would be able to do it!"

"Don't underestimate the educated youth from the city. Those who have learned a lot have flexible minds and are willing to study hard. They can get things done in a matter of minutes."

"Don't worry, Comrade Chen is a very open-minded person and won't bother with you. Go back quickly or you'll be frozen to death."

The old team members had tense faces and moved their mouths, but the words on the tip of their tongues never came out.

It would be too shameful to ask them to submit to the educated youth comrades!
They were all holding their breath, and their expressions were indescribable.

Chen Huaiyang didn't bother with anyone. Instead, he came up to joke with everyone, and the atmosphere became harmonious after a while.

He is an old team member, so it doesn't matter even if he lowers his status to build a relationship with him. It won't be a loss for him. He can just say a few nice words.

If you keep making fun of others, it will easily cause the relationship to become strained. The old team members have been in the team for a long time and are all savvy people. It will only do more good to maintain good relationships with them.

There was a lot of conversation between us, and the old team members had the opportunity to step down and happily chat with Chen Huaiyang.

When asked how he managed to get things done, Chen Huaiyang naturally could not give up the opportunity and exaggerated the hardships involved. As expected, he was treated differently by the old team members.

Chen Huaiyang humbly said that serving the people requires hard work.

Old Zhong looked at the old guys being fooled and smiled secretly, Comrade Xiao Chen has this ability, it only takes a few minutes to win people over.

She raised her hand, patted his shoulder, and winked at him.

Chen Huaiyang acted as if begging for mercy, which made Lao Zhong laugh. If one were to admire him, no one else would admire him more than him. Only people who can bend and stretch can live like a fish in water!
There was no heavy object on the ox cart, so it went much faster, and before we knew it we had returned to the team.

Chen Huaiyang went straight to find the team leader, and by coincidence, he happened to see him eating lunch. He looked normal at that time. How could he look pale after having diarrhea?
The captain dropped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at the person in front of him in astonishment. He couldn't understand why someone who was clearly paying his taxes came back early?

He just took a nap, but did he get things done?
It happened so fast that it was hard to believe. I started to doubt myself. Could he have escaped halfway?

At the same time, he also began to deeply doubt himself. He had seen a lot of the world, so why was he not as good as the young comrade?

"Xiao Chen, have you finished your work?"

Chen Huaiyang made a "tsk" sound. Even a slow-witted person would know that he was being used. The captain was just trying to please everyone and was putting the blame on him.

"Uncle, you look like you have recovered from your diarrhea. Which doctor did you go to? The medicine he prescribed is so effective."

"I want to know more about it. If I have a headache or fever, I can ask someone to prescribe some magic medicine for me."

Captain: “…” This kid is always good at picking on others, this is a mockery of him!
You definitely can’t tell the truth!

Even if he was cheating, he had to get away with it. Otherwise, how would he save his face as the captain?

If the other team members knew about this, how could he still have any authority?
Chen Huaiyang was not the roundworm in his stomach, and he didn't know whether he had diarrhea or not, so he could only make an excuse to get away with it.

"Don't mention it. I was exhausted all morning. I woke up after a good night's sleep. Now I have an appetite for hot food!"

"Have you gotten things done since you came back?" The question was asked again, and there was no need to be embarrassed if he hadn't done anything.

"I knew that Comrade Xiao Chen's abilities were unique. Your communication skills are something we should learn from."

No matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. He used the same attitude that Chen Huaiyang usually used to please him and praised him as well. The words came to his lips, and he spoke without any hesitation.

It's embarrassing to argue with someone who praises you so much.

Now that you have gained an advantage, you should just give in!
Chen Huaiyang felt comfortable listening to all the flattering words. No wonder people like to flatter people. It feels great to be flattered.

But he remained calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking. He had cultivated this skill, and he was sure that no one could read his thoughts.

Things have been done, but you can't keep silent and let people know the hardships involved. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, no one will understand.

A crying child has milk.

By the same token, people must understand what you have done with great effort, otherwise all your efforts would have been in vain.
"Since uncle is not fully recovered, you need to rest well."

"It's a lot of work to get there. You didn't see the line. It's so long. I'm afraid it may not be done even if I wait for two days."

"The cadres have seen all kinds of situations. It's not easy to get in through the back door! It took a meal and two packs of cigarettes to get this done."

"You don't know how much this worries me. Just getting into the canteen at the granary is hard enough."

"Although this trip didn't take much effort, it was also very stressful."

The captain listened and nodded frequently, "Xiao Chen, you have worked hard. Paying the public grain is a big problem. Young guys hide away from you when they see you. All the old guys are dragging their old bones out to rub their bones. Thanks to your help!"

"I see clearly your hardships. Comrade Chen is worthy of being sent to the countryside to do construction. He is a good comrade who serves the people!"

"The team will not ignore your efforts. I will take care of this for you when I am better. You have been tired all day, so go back and relax!"

Anyway, the slogans are shouted loudly.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Chen Huaiyang has the ability to flatter, so it is most appropriate to let him do this.

If it were someone else, no matter how much they gave, it would be useless if they didn't say nice things.

It's not uncommon for someone to end up losing more than he gained by trying to steal a chicken.

Both of them knew what was going on, so they stopped trying to argue once they got the results they wanted.

Chen Huaiyang knows when to stop and not to push too hard, which would make people unhappy and fail to achieve the desired result.

"Then you take a rest first, I will be back soon."
