When Jiang Baige went to work in the afternoon, she met Zhang Yan, whom she had not seen for a long time, on her way to the threshing ground.

This person appeared in front of her inexplicably and blocked her way, as if he had come here specifically to wait for her.

Because they were both educated youth, Jiang Baige smiled at her and nodded slightly as a greeting.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, so they turned sideways and prepared to leave.

Zhang Yan looked at Jiang Zhiqing smiling, her expression turned unhappy, and her eyes followed her.

"etc."

Zhang Yan suddenly turned around and called out to Jiang Baige who was about to leave.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Jiang Baige asked suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly called him.

Zhang Yan asked, "I heard you became the village scorekeeper."

Zhang Yan heard about this yesterday. Jiang Zhiqing suddenly became the village scorekeeper.

She thought that Jiang Zhiqing lived next door to the village chief, and if she hadn't bribed the village chief, how could she have become a scorekeeper.

Just because they are from other places, they have no chance of getting the job of scorer.

Jiang Baige didn't know what she meant, so she nodded in response.

"Yeah, I've been doing it for a few days."

Zhang Yan said unhappily, "Tell me, did you give a gift to the village chief? Otherwise, why did you get this opportunity when no one else did?"

Jiang Baige was speechless. It seemed that Zhang Zhiqing had always been hostile to her, but she had never cared.

Her words now made her even more certain that this person had a grudge against her.

They could fight, but they couldn't let her insult the village chief.

If she thought she had bribed the village chief and didn't explain herself clearly, she would be in trouble if the village chief reported her.

She thought for a moment and said, "My place was decided by the village chief after a meeting. You can't talk nonsense here. It's fine if you wrongly accuse me, but if you throw dirty water on the village chief, I won't let you go."

Zhang Yan glared at her hatefully and snorted.

"If it weren't for this, how did you get the position? There are so many people in this village, how did you get the position?"

At this time, a voice sounded behind her. Chen Defu went out late today and heard these words as soon as he arrived.

The voice was stern: "Why does she do that? Because she is educated."

"I'm a high school student. How can I not be a scorekeeper?"

When Zhang Yan heard the village chief's voice, she didn't dare to say a word.

Chen Defu continued, "It's all thanks to her hard work and ability."

Jiang Zhiqing has been here for a few months and has never complained about the dirty or tiring work. He does whatever is assigned to him."

"And you, Zhang Zhiqing, why are you caring about the things on the farm instead of feeding the pigs? If you don't want to feed the pigs anymore, go and harvest the wheat now!"

Zhang Yan scratched her hands awkwardly, her face turning red and then white.

It's such a hot day now, of course she doesn't want to go out to harvest wheat. Not to mention getting sunburned, what if she gets tanned?

He quickly shook his head and said, "Village Chief, I'm going to the pig farm."

After she finished speaking, she ran away quickly. There was nothing she could do because she was not as skilled as the other person.

However, when she left, she still gave Jiang Zhiqing a glare.

This person is so bad that she didn't even tell her that the village chief was coming, so the village chief heard everything she said.

Zhang Yan did ask about Jiang Zhiqing, but unfortunately they didn't know her, so she didn't find out anything.

As for her educational background, the educated youth knew even less.

As a high school student, if you calculate it this way, she really can't compare.

I only went to junior high school, but my academic performance was not good, so I dropped out.

After Zhang Yan left, Jiang Baige smiled awkwardly at the village chief.

"Uncle Village Chief, I told you I'm not suitable for this job!"

"It's good that Zhang Yan questioned me today. Maybe there will be others as well. What if they cause you trouble?"

Chen Defu put his hands behind his back and pointed to the road ahead.

"Let's go! It's time to get to work."

He didn't want to say much. The educated youth had doubts, and the villagers must have had some too.

He also had to hold a meeting with everyone to dispel others' concerns.

Now during the wheat harvest, men are the ones who work the hardest. They are the ones who do the harvesting and threshing of wheat.

Women and children carried baskets and linen bags and picked up wheat ears in the fields.

If you pick up a lot, you can hand it in and it will count as work points, and you can distribute food later.

If you pick up less, you can take it home and eat it yourself.

Jiang Baige still likes being a scorekeeper. While others are working in the field, she can enjoy the cool under the big tree.

Ah! Why didn't she go to help? She didn't want to go. If she could avoid working, she wouldn't even want to be a scorekeeper.

When work was over in the evening, the village chief asked all the villagers to stay in the threshing ground for a meeting.

One is about harvesting wheat, and the other is about the appointment of the scorekeeper.

There was a meeting in Chenjia Village today, and even the pig feeders were called to listen.

Chen Defu was holding a very old iron trumpet and was surrounded by the crowd.

Sun Zhaodi asked, "Village head, why do we need a meeting? I've been working for half a day and I'm starving. If you have anything to say, just tell the men at home and they'll pass it on."

Someone at the back of the crowd said, "Yeah! My body is covered in wheat hair. It's itchy. I want to go home and wash it off!"

Chen Defu said, "Quiet, quiet, everyone must be present for what I am going to say today."

After hearing no more sound, Chen Defu continued speaking.

"It's been very hot and humid these past two days. Judging from the weather, it might rain at any moment."

"We held a meeting and decided to get up early tomorrow to harvest the wheat and try to harvest it as soon as possible."
