Chapter 75 The Fire of Gossip

"Hey, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

"not."

"Did you run into any patrolmen when you went out just now?"

Wang Jun glanced cautiously at the soldiers not far away. Although they were also working, their eyes were very vicious.

How many work points they get that day depends entirely on the soldier's wishes.

"Work."

Su Yu is now very upset. If he leaves for a while, all his work today will be in vain. Who can feel comfortable?

"Hey, Su Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Jun wanted to find out some gossip, but unfortunately Su Yu, who was always talkative, had become silent and didn't say a word for a long time.

Wang Jun felt bored and walked away shaking his head.

…

Xia Jing didn't dare to delay as she was still thinking about the points she had just lost.

Luckily, she was smart and said someone else's name, otherwise...

She works slowly, so she doesn't get many work points here, only about two to three points a day.

She herself was speechless. This was all she got after a hard day's work. If she was deducted from her own salary, she would have worked for two and a half days in vain.

Damn it! Aren't soldiers supposed to be good-tempered and serve the people? Why are all the soldiers she met so hard-hearted? She almost vomited blood just thinking about it.

Seeing her coming back, Su Yu did not follow her. Li Xue approached with a gossipy look on her face:

"Xia Jing, have you appeased your suitor?"

This person's feelings are really strange. Li Xue and Xia Jing had a good relationship before. The two had never been at odds with each other and could be considered friends.

But ever since Zhou Hao and Xia Jing were caught having an affair last time, their relationship has gone downhill.

Li Xue disliked everything about Xia Jing and she hated her deception.

Seeing Xia Jing coming over, Yang Hongmei also leaned over here, raised her ears to listen, and turned her head to look over from time to time.

Seeing Yang Hongmei, Xia Jing felt a little guilty.

She just said her name. I hope she doesn't know it.

Xia Jing comforted herself in her heart. Although Yang Hongmei also liked to be lazy, she was better than Xia Jing and could earn four to five points every day, so five points was just a matter of one day for her.

"Hurry up and get to work."

Xia Jing didn't say a word. She wanted to keep a low profile and not let anyone find out.

"Haha, Su Yu won't ignore you anymore, right?"

Seeing Xia Jing pretending to be mysterious, Li Xue sneered: "Humph, you are just like your sister, you only know how to seduce men!"

Xia Jing gritted her teeth secretly. What if she wanted to hit someone? Thinking of the soldier who was not far away, she gave up the idea.

…

Xia Liang from the command office had no idea about the twists and turns of the educated youth outside, she was still working hard on the report!

There were no computers at that time, so everything had to be done manually, and it was no small project.

The excavation here is divided into sections, with villages as the unit. Not far away there is a soldier digging and supervising.

Firstly, it helps them assess their work points, and secondly, it prevents people from hoarding the money.

All the unearthed items will be sent to experts for appraisal, and Xia Liang is responsible for counting the antiques unearthed.

Of course, work points are also recorded.

"Xia Liang, educated youth, two people were deducted 5 points just now. Please remember this first."

There is boiled water in the command office, and soldiers will come back to drink water when they are thirsty.

Xia Liang smiled, took out the work points sheet, and asked:

"Who?"

"Yang Hongmei and Su Yu. Xia Liang, the educated youth, are people outside so unrestrained now? In broad daylight, the two of them found a corner and started hugging each other? Luckily I saw them, otherwise, the two of them would have rolled together."

Xia Liang was startled and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Su Yu? Yang Hongmei?"

If she remembered correctly, Su Yu didn't like Yang Hongmei.

Although Yang Hongmei is lazy and a bit sneaky, she is a very conservative person. She rarely talks to men, so she is not the type to hug anyone casually, right?

Besides, everyone at the educated youth site knew that Su Yu liked Xia Jing. How could Yang Hongmei be with Su Yu?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" the soldier asked puzzledly.

"No, I'll make a note of it."

Her good sister really didn't let her down. She would always cause trouble.

Yang Hongmei is not someone who is easy to talk to. Xia Liang is a little curious now. When Yang Hongmei finds out, what kind of sparks will be created between the two of them?

"Cool."

As soon as the soldier left, Aunt Li came in excitedly, holding two big fat grass carps in her hands.

"Auntie Li, where did you get this fish?"

After being reborn, this was the first time Xia Liang saw a fish. This thing was a rare commodity, and no one in the town sold it.

"Hey, Liangliang, Wang Bin and his friends just caught more than a dozen fish. I'll make some fish soup for them at noon. By the way, Wang Bin said we should leave two fish for us to take home for dinner tonight."

Although grass carp has bones, it tastes good.

"Oh, and what about the two buckets of small loaches? They are inedible. I will take them back to feed the chickens."

Little loach? Xia Liang's eyes lit up. She remembered that loach was not edible when she was a child. The children in the village were reluctant to throw away the little loach they caught, so they took it back to feed the chickens.

Hens that eat more loaches lay eggs more diligently than usual.

But in later generations, loaches were served on the table and tasted pretty good. This thing is a bag of meat, coated with some batter and fried until crispy, and it is particularly fragrant.

"Liangliang, you should also drink some fish soup at noon. Alas, you are still too thin."

Auntie Li looked at Xia Liang's still slim figure and sighed, "These days, men want wives with big breasts and big butts. Big butts are good for giving birth, but big breasts mean you won't be hungry for children in the future. Liangliang, you're not young anymore, listen to Auntie, eat more and take good care of yourself. Look at you now, you have no breasts and no butt, how are you going to find a partner in the future?"

Xia Liang: Is she that bad?

Twenty years later, thinness is considered beautiful by everyone. But with her current height of 1.60 meters and a weight of less than 80 kilograms, if she puts on tight yoga clothes and takes a few photos, she will definitely win the applause of countless netizens.

With straight long legs and a waist without a trace of fat, few women would not envy him.

But in the late 1970s, she had become an unsalable woman that no one liked.

"Liangliang, don't worry, Auntie will help you get well. Look at Xiaohong, how well has Auntie taken care of her?"

When talking about her daughter, Aunt Li looked very proud.

Xia Liang: Well, Yang Xiaohong’s figure is indeed better than mine.

"Auntie Li, these loaches can also be eaten."

Xia Liang didn't want to continue with the embarrassing question, so she quickly talked about the fried loach that made her salivate.

“Ah, can I eat this too?”

This was the first time Auntie Li had heard of this. She looked at Xia Liang in surprise and asked, "Is this also mentioned in the book?"

Xia Liang: Okay, I’ve found the reasons for myself.

"It's just that this method is a bit fuel-consuming. I'll ask Ning Zhiyuan what he thinks later."

Aunt Li nodded, and suddenly remembered something, a meaningful smile appeared on her face:

"Liangliang, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and Xiaoning?"
