In this era, food is the most precious thing.

Especially Li Laoshi, he was old and could not earn many work points in the production team. Most of the time he lived on wild vegetables.

In other words, in the countryside, as long as you work hard, you will not lack food.

Just like wild vegetables, as long as you are willing to dig, you can still find a lot of them.

It just doesn't taste that good.

Li Laoshi usually eats wild vegetables.

This time when there were guests at home, he specially made steamed buns made of three-grain flour to entertain Li Jianqiang.

But he didn't expect that the food, which he considered so precious, was actually thrown away.

This made Li Laoshi angry, as he valued food more than anything else.

He started arguing with Li Jianqiang on the spot.

As the argument went on, the situation escalated.

Li Jianqiang was arrogant and had always been dissatisfied with going to the countryside as an educated youth.

If he hadn't been chosen, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all.

As a result, he started to suffer as soon as he came to the countryside, and he still felt wronged!

As time went by, the quarrel became more and more intense, and if the neighbor next door hadn't noticed something was wrong, they would have almost started a fight.

Although Li Laoshi is old, he is still very strong.

Although Li Jianqiang is young, he has never done any physical work in his life.

If a real fight breaks out, we may not necessarily win.

Fortunately, this is Dabazi Village, and Li Laoshi is from Dabazi Village.

The nearby villagers would not watch him get beaten.

Several strong men knocked Li Jianqiang to the ground and he couldn't even get up.

There is no such thing as not being able to fight in this era.

Especially in the countryside, if you can fight, don't force it. Many times, the whole family goes out together, and it is not uncommon to end up in a melee.

Seeing the old man in my village being bullied, this is too much. It’s a good thing that he is not beaten half to death.

Look, Li Jianqiang is now being held down by several big men and can't move at all.

In the threshing ground, the villagers surrounded him and pointed at him, treating him like a criminal.

Li Jianqiang didn't expect that these villagers were so tough.

He was a bully who only cared about the weak and feared the strong. After being beaten, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to say a word.

Being held like a prisoner by the villagers, he lowered his head and pretended to be dead, not daring to make a sound.

"What's going on? Why all the noise?"

At this time, Wu Dagang and the team leader came up.

"Secretary Wu, Captain Zhou, it's like this..."

The villagers who were pressing down on Li Jianqiang began to explain.

Especially when it came to Li Jianqiang throwing away food, not only refusing to admit his mistake but also wanting to hit people, he was filled with righteous indignation.

"May I have your name?"

After hearing the villagers' stories, the team leader's face suddenly turned dark.

Wu Dagang's face didn't look very good either.

They all came from difficult times.

In other words, the situation has improved in recent years, at least no one is starving to death anymore.

You know, in the early years, there were people who really didn’t have enough to eat and then starved to death.

"His name is Li Jianqiang."

When the question was heard, people around immediately answered.

In just one morning, the name Li Jianqiang had spread throughout Dabazi Village.

But along with this name, there are some not-so-nice words.

"Li Jianqiang, right? You should pack your things later. Dabazi Village can't accommodate a young master like you. Go somewhere else!"

The captain said expressionlessly.

The team leader has always been strict with these educated youth, and anyone who makes a mistake will basically get into trouble.

If it was a minor mistake, maybe I would just go and sweep the pigpen or dry some cow dung.

If the mistake is serious, then send it directly back to the Youth League Office.

Although the educated youth went to the countryside, the production team had to accept them.

But if the educated youth made mistakes, they would be sent back.

Of course, being sent back to the Youth League Office does not mean that you can return to the city.

They will soon be sent to the Northwest to participate in the construction there.

And it will be recorded on their resumes.

This sum will stay with you for life.

No wonder the captain is angry.

Wasting food is a big deal, especially in this period when everyone is short of food and clothing, and at the end of the year, there is not even a little surplus food.

He strictly prohibits the waste of food.

Moreover, this kind of person can even waste food, so what else can't he do?

Taking this opportunity, he decided to send the person away.

If he can't seize such a good opportunity, he doesn't deserve to be the captain.

"No, I'm not going back. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just staying here."

"Captain, Captain, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I will be obedient in the future and will never waste food again."

When Li Jianqiang heard that he was going to be sent back to the Youth League Office, he panicked after pretending to be dead.

He pleaded loudly, fearing that he would be sent back.

Although he had just gone to the countryside, he had learned some things about this.

Once he was sent back to the Youth League Office, a farm would be waiting for him.

Compared with the production team, life on the farm was harder.

For this reason, he had to put aside his pride and beg loudly.

"It's too late."

The captain said lightly.

This time, more than 30 educated youth came to the village at once, and no one knows what kind of trouble will arise in the future.

Now I just happened to meet someone who showed up.

This is a good opportunity to make an example of someone and he would be a fool to miss it.

"No, Captain, please, I'm wrong. I really know I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianqiang began to scream.

The sound was not much different from that of slaughtering a pig.

"Take him away and lock him up first, then send him to the Youth League Office."

The captain waved his hand expressionlessly.

Then, Li Jianqiang was suppressed.

Seeing that Li Jianqiang was dealt with in this way, the educated youth present were silent.

In other words, most of the educated youth who came yesterday were not here, otherwise the team leader's act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey would have been more effective.

But it doesn’t matter, there are still many old educated youth present.

When the new educated youth come back and know what happened to Li Jianqiang, I believe they will be very honest.

"Brother Ziwen, the captain is so fierce!"

Chen Qiaoyi, who was beside Zhou Ziwen, was a little frightened.

"Haha, don't be afraid. As long as you don't do anything bad, the captain is still easy to talk to."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and comforted.

Being impartial and just depends on the person.

Take him for example, even if he didn't go to work, the team leader would turn a blind eye and never say anything, right?

Of course, this was also because his contributions were so great, and the team leader and Wu Dagang were afraid that he would run away.

For someone as outstanding as him, his status as an educated youth could not stop him.

Apart from anything else, President Fu had previously asked him to be an agricultural technician!

The work of agricultural technicians is formally established.

After dealing with Li Jianqiang, the captain came to the stage with a serious expression and criticized what had just happened.

The content is simply to tell everyone not to waste food, especially those educated youth who are used to living in the city.

After receiving this warning, not only did the educated youth calm down, but even Zhou Ziwen himself began to reflect on whether his life had been too good during this period. (End of this chapter)
