Synopsis: The leisurely diary of a retired big shot: daily life, human relationships, everywhere is full of gossip.
Ye Yu returns from the apocalypse to a courtyard in Sijiucheng. Here, there...
Chapter 30: The First Chapter 72 Changes
Han Jing scratched his head strategically: "Oh."
"Keep asking, just ask this directly..." Hua Feifei and Xu Fei pointed and talked behind him, asking him to ask more clearly, as they thought Han Jing was a coward. But if it were them, they... they might not be able to get the answer clearly either.
Fortunately, at this time two little kids over one meter tall jumped out from somewhere. The one with the ponytail was afraid of his hands, and the one with the flat head did a one-legged stand.
They were like two victorious roosters, bragging to everyone in unison: "Our aunt is amazing."
"With just one light kick, he sent the man flying a hundred meters away."
“Two hundred meters!”
"One thousand acres!"
"It's not an acre, it's a mile. You're wrong."
"It's a hundred thousand miles."
"No, it's ten million..."
Children all have a competitive mentality. Later on, they don't care what they were showing off at the beginning, they just want to win. In their eyes, Ye Yu is comparable to the Monkey King in the comic books who can transform into 72 different forms.
How could she have deserved this?
In addition, the brother and sister swallowed the word "cousin" when they addressed Ye Yu.
After last night, Ye Yu was promoted from cousin to aunt, and Wang Xiaomei, the real aunt, was thrown aside and reluctantly became the "fifth aunt". Sometimes she would blurt out "aunt" as usual, as if there were two aunts.
What's even more outrageous is that Grandma Wang actually thought it was okay and said that removing the courtesy name would make the couple more affectionate.
Absolutely amazing.
Although Grandma Wang wanted to take back what she said at the dinner table later, she didn't do so in the end for the sake of the waistcoat and the RMB.
When people around heard what the siblings said, they laughed, but no one refuted or made a fuss.
Only Hua Feifei and the other two were confused:
...Wait, who is your aunt?
...You're not talking about Ye Yu, are you?
…kicked someone flying? ! ! How far was he kicked, a hundred meters? Ten thousand miles?
Is this a lie? Is this a lie? Is this a lie? He asked three questions in a row.
But the expressions on the faces of the surrounding villagers told them that there must be some exaggeration, especially the latter part, but the former part was true and definitely not a lie.
Not only is it not a lie, this matter is actually related to them. They are the trigger.
"You educated youth have such a good relationship."
"Ye Zhiqing confronted the former village chief for you and even kicked the former village chief's son far away."
"It's all because of Wang Laosan's bad mouth. Ye Zhiqing was just being brave and doing what was right."
“…”
With the villagers' compliments, Hua Feifei and the other two finally pieced together the general "truth" of the whole incident. That is, yesterday the former village chief's son, Wang Laosan, scolded them for asking for leave, saying that they might as well fall into the cesspool and drown. He was kicked away by Ye Zhiqing and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
This is really——
I didn't expect that.
Taking Ye Yu's presence into consideration, the villagers omitted the beginning and the end of the story and were vague. They described Wang Laosan as an unforgivable villain, and said that the former village chief was an old and confused person with a biased mind. They omitted Ye Yu's provocation and exaggerated Ye Yu's physical strength at the end, which seemed like flattery.
When Hua Feifei and the other two heard this, they thought that Ye Yu was just attacking the enemy bully because someone gossiped about them. They were really moved.
I understand. Comrade Ye Yu is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Yes, yes, yes. Comrade Ye Yu was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. When they first met, she helped them hold the luggage on the donkey cart. Later, seeing how hard they were working, she offered to cook that night.
There's more to it than that. It's a bit embarrassing to say that most of the firewood and water in the house were chopped or carried back by Ye Yu. Han Jing and the others only helped carry two buckets of water, and they never picked up firewood for heating the kang.
It's only been a few days, and Ye Yu has already done so many things for them silently. In comparison, they are really useless.
Ye Yu: “…”
Hua Feifei felt even more embarrassed. She was still angry with Ye Yu about the room selection. Was she considered a villain who repaid kindness with enmity? She couldn't help feeling guilty.
"I still have White Rabbit milk candy..."
Ye Yu originally wanted to dispel their horrific speculations, but when she heard the word "candy", her mind froze and she spoke faster than her brain: "I'll trade with you when we get back."
Refusing to get something for free is one of her few consciences.
Ye Yu stood up for them against the bully, and Han Jing felt that they could not hide behind him like cowards, so he clamored to ask Wang Laosan for an explanation.
Xu Fei silently added behind the scenes that they could ask for another leave to go to the commune to ask. They did not come to the countryside to be bullied. At worst, they could call the public security bureau.
The villagers listened and thought these words were familiar. Wasn't that what Ye Zhiqing had said yesterday? They just said that the Zhiqing were really getting along very happily.
If you think about it carefully, it is understandable that the educated youth stayed together far away from their hometown. It is similar to having a new family of outsiders in the village, except that these outsiders have no blood relationship with each other.
It is unknown whether this kind of companionship is solid or not, but they have Ye Yu as their ultimate weapon, who can fight and scold people. The villagers now dare not bully any of them, for fear of being kicked away by Ye Yu and having to pay for the sweet potatoes.
A group of people chatted and walked to the edge of the field.
Han Jing and his team went to see the team leader. The team leader thought for a moment and told Wang Laoer to apologize to the educated youth in front of all the team members tomorrow morning. As long as the matter was not reported to the commune, it had nothing to do with him and it was not a loss of face for him.
Considering the commune's current impression of the educated youth, Han Jing and the others did not want to cause trouble in the town.
The incident ended with satisfaction for both parties, and the only one who got hurt was Wang Laosan, the instigator.
The team leader said that he also had something to ask the educated youth. Considering the true strength shown by several people the day before yesterday, he decided to rearrange the four of them into the group.
First, Hua Feifei was transferred to the fourth group where the work was relatively easier. Then, Han Jing and Xu Fei withdrew from the first group which was mainly composed of young and middle-aged people and joined the second group.
As for Ye Yu, with her strength, she is definitely more than qualified to go to the first group, but the first group has never accepted women. It is full of young and middle-aged men who are full of vigor and vitality. Some are married, but there are also many singles.
Considering that no matter how strong Ye Yu is, she is a woman after all, for safety reasons, she decided not to move and continue to stay in the third group.
Wang Zhiming was one of the few team leaders who respected the educated youth. He asked for their opinions separately before changing groups.
"Thank you, Captain."
Hua Feifei said she had no objection at all, even though the team leader emphasized that the fourth group had the least work points and might even have no work in the cold winter. It would be difficult to earn enough food for one person, and at most they would not starve to death.
“No work!!!”
After such a long conversation, Hua Feifei only heard the three words "no job" and nodded repeatedly. She really didn't care whether there was enough food to fill her stomach. If not, she could buy more. Her parents didn't want her to go back to Shanghai, but they wouldn't even support her living expenses, right?
only--
Yesterday she was angry and told the truth that she wanted to break off all ties with her family, but today she is looking forward to sending something from home. She is really a loser in her words.
Hua Feifei couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.
Han Jing was a little dissatisfied with the captain's suggestion. Young people were vying for victory and didn't want to admit that they were not capable enough. When Xu Fei pulled him, he couldn't find any words to reply to "Ye Yu is in the third group." He felt that he could surpass others if he worked hard, but he really had no confidence in catching up with Ye Yu.
If we have Yu, why do we have Liang?
"Fool."
Han Jing then realized that he had accidentally yelled out the stupid words in his heart. Everyone around him looked at him as if he was a fool. The scolding came from Ye Yu. He smiled awkwardly: "I agree."
"OK."
Ye Yu also agreed.
She believed that she could also earn 10 work points in an ordinary group, but 10 work points would not be enough to feed him. There were many more people in the third group than in the first group. If she got to know more people, it would be easier to buy extra food for her family from them in the future.
There is no problem in forming a team, and everyone goes to work in their newly assigned group.
The plowing of the wheat field has been completed, and what remains includes harrowing, raking, tilling and fertilizing.
Among them, plowing wheat refers to pouring wheat seeds into the plow box according to proportion, and then plowing the wheat into the field.
As the saying goes:
"Even if you own thousands of acres of land, it all depends on a plow."
Harrowing wheat is more difficult than plowing the land. There are two types of harrowing wheat. One type relies purely on manpower. Just pulling the harrow box in front requires five or six people to work together.
One method is to rely on cattle or donkeys. Now that the plowing has been completed, the cattle and donkeys are free. If there are cattle or donkeys, a team can be formed with two or three people.
Since Ye Yu didn't want to ferment the fertilizer, she naturally didn't want to apply it. The stench was too harsh on her five senses. She discussed with Sister Guihua about actively signing up for the wheat-throwing group.
The team leader took into consideration that the wheat plowing was nearing its end and the young and middle-aged men had been exhausted from working like workhorses for the past two days, so it would be good to have them take a break and change jobs, so he agreed.
But he still worked with the village accountant to supervise the progress and quality of Ye Yu and Guihua's work in the early stages.
Not long into his supervision, the captain couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Today, I've witnessed the legendary 'one force defeats ten skills'."
In fact, it is a bit of a waste for Ye Zhiqing to come to the rural construction. She is most suitable for the army. She can squeeze into the excellent special forces just by relying on brute force.
There are very few special forces that recruit female soldiers other than cultural and artistic soldiers. Even if there are, they are not mainly based on strength, and ordinary women cannot find a way to sign up.
The village accountant didn't think too much about it. He just followed Tan and said that this was the first time he saw the so-called "natural supernatural power" after living for so many years. In the past, he could have become a general and killed the devils.
At this time, Ye Yu was fighting with the cow.
Yes, a cow, an old yellow cow.
Ye Yu had driven a speeding car, thrown bombs, killed mutant cows, and eaten beef in the apocalypse, but he had never been close to an ordinary cow, let alone command a cow.
But she is very strong.
Lifting a cow high is not a problem, let alone just pulling a cow.
The team leader and the village accountant would sigh one after another, also because Ye Yu was no longer unfamiliar with the cow from the beginning. They couldn't figure out whether she was pulling the cow or the cow was pulling her.
The cow seemed confused too:
"Moo, moo, moo."
How can its legs run by themselves?
As Ye Yu slowly adjusted his technique, the cow finally stopped mooing and started working obediently. Although the team leader and the others guessed that the cow was scared because it was forced, its speed returned to normal, neither too fast nor too slow.
Ye Yu was responsible for the heavy work of pulling the plow box.
Sister Guihua was not lazy like she was when she plowed the land before. She was responsible for shaking the plow from behind, that is, shaking the wooden handle of the plow to spread the seeds evenly on the ground.
Plowing requires more technique and patience than strength.
Sister Guihua lived up to expectations and learned the ropes very quickly. She used the plow with just the right amount of force to dig up the soil. She worked very carefully and had an amazing ability to comprehend, so she was quite suitable for the job.
Be it quality or speed, the cooperation between the two was no worse than those of the old farmers; the only sound in the field was the clinking of the plows.
