Chapter 33 Cai Genhua
The next morning, the work bell rang early. Xia Wanyang was too excited last night and was still in an agitated state in the middle of the night. As a result, she opened her eyes only after the work bell rang for the last time.
She didn't even have time to comb her hair, she ran out in a hurry. When she arrived at the entrance of the brigade, she realized that she was the last one to arrive.
Zhang Shiye was standing at the outside. Seeing her with her hair loose and looking sleepy, he felt so distressed that he quietly approached her and whispered, "How about I give you a day off?"
Xia Wanyang's beautiful fox eyes were sparkling with mist from yawning. She blinked, her eyes were confused and lazy, as if she had just woken up from a beautiful dream. She raised her head slightly, looked at Zhang Shiye, and shook her head gently.
"Oh no! Today is the first day of spring ploughing. If I ask for leave and go back to sleep in, people will gossip about me!"
Zhang Shiye sighed, "I told my dad last night, he will assign you an easier job, just be lazy, I will help you when I am done!"
"Aren't you an accountant? Why do you want to work in the fields with us?" In fact, Xia Wanyang really wanted to ask him, with your personality, why did you choose to be an accountant?
"In spring ploughing and autumn harvest, everyone in the brigade, except the elderly, children and pregnant women, had to go to the fields. Even my father had to work with us."
Zhang Heping stood on the table and shouted, "Spring ploughing has begun. We must all work hard. Whether we can win the title of Advanced Brigade this year depends on all the men and women in our Dongfanghong Brigade!
Okay, except for the new educated youth, the rest of the people will follow the previous assignment. The new educated youth Huang Chen, Chen Qi, and Zheng Yu will go to group one to plow the land, Gu Xiuyuan and Li Xiang will go to group two to dig holes, Duan Xiaoyu, Xu Jiaojiao, and Wang Yan will go to group three to sow seeds, and Xia Wanyang will follow to distribute the seeds!"
When Xu Jiaojiao heard that Xia Wanyang was assigned such an easy task, she immediately shouted, "Captain Zhang, why is Xia Wanyang's task so easy?"
Zhang Heping glanced at Zhang Shiye inconspicuously, "Are you the team leader or am I the team leader? There is no hierarchy in the work. I assign whatever I think of. Are you here to build the countryside or to compete with others? If you have the energy to stare at others every day, you might as well do your own tasks well! If you don't like sowing seeds, just follow Qian Guilan's team to apply fertilizers!"
Li Xiang shouted at the top of his voice, "The captain is right, we are just a brick, we can be moved wherever we are needed! If you want to be a parasite of socialism, don't bring trouble to the entire team!"
Xia Wanyang wanted to jump up and applaud him.
Zhang Heping glared at Xu Jiaojiao, "Wang Jing will be back soon. Wait for her to come back and dig holes with Group 2. Look at Wang Jing. A female comrade is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. This is the right attitude!"
Xia Wanyang showed Zhang Shiye her eight big white teeth and smiled like a fool, "Thank you!"
Zhang Shiye had to resist the urge to pinch her chubby face, "Go ahead, sit under the tree when you're tired!"
The one who helped Xia Wanyang to sort the seeds was Aunt Cai. They had a good relationship when they picked seeds together before, so Xia Wanyang didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Aunt Cai's full name is Cai Genhua. Her husband was a cowherd in the team more than 20 years ago. One night, for some unknown reason, one of the old cow's legs was broken. Her husband was criticized for more than ten days. In the end, he could not bear the physical and psychological torture and died with his eyes open. This incident is also a thorn in Aunt Cai's heart.
When her husband died, he left her with only a three-year-old son. Aunt Cai played the role of both father and mother over the years, raising her son, married him off, and gave birth to a little granddaughter. Just when she was about to get through the hard times, her only son went up the mountain to have a meal and was killed by a wild boar. His wife remarried without a word within half a month, and now there is only her and a four-year-old girl at home.
There is always trouble around a widow. Over the years, Cai Genhua's originally weak character has been tempered into a fierce one. The women of her age in the team all have some sympathy for her and know how difficult her life is. When she was young, she worked in the fields with the men to feed her son, so when she got older, they naturally had no objection to giving her some light work.
"Aunt Cai, I will work with you these few days!" Xia Wanyang knew about Aunt Cai's affairs in her previous life. When she was in trouble, Aunt Cai advised her to be open-minded and used her own affairs as an example to her. Just for those words, Xia Wanyang was very grateful to her.
Cai Genhua nodded and said, "It's very simple to distribute the seeds. Just count the number and send them to the team leader of each field. After that, we can start working."
Two people were each responsible for a piece of land, and soon they had divided it up. Xia Wanyang was young, so of course she was the one who ran errands. When she arrived at the peanut field, she was stopped by two scoundrels from the village.
"Young educated youth, are you giving me seeds? Just give them to me!" Erlangzi said with ill intention.
Xia Wanyang took two steps back in disgust and handed the cloth bag to him. Erlangzi stepped forward and grabbed the cloth bag, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to stretch his big black claws towards Xia Wanyang's small hands.
Erlangzi is different from Song Changhe. Song Changhe has parents, so no matter how naughty he is, he will only play cats and dogs and have minor fights. But Erlangzi and Dachanglian have no parents. Even if they make mistakes and are locked up for a few days, they will be fine when they come out. They are not afraid at all, and Song Heping has no way to deal with them.
Xia Wanyang let go of his hand, took a few steps back, glared at the two people and said, "Don't you want your claws anymore?"
The long-faced man took two steps closer with a smile, "I heard that you are the daughter of a high-ranking official in a big city, so even if those old men in the village have ideas about you, they dare not do anything. But we brothers are not afraid of fear, and it won't work if you use your father's tricks to pressure us!"
Xia Wanyang snorted coldly, "What do you want?"
Erlangzi touched his chin with one hand and looked Xia Wanyang up and down, with a hint of greed in his eyes: "Hey, that's right, we brothers are not full, do you want some money to spend? Don't worry, we are borrowing it, and we will pay it back when the work points are calculated at the end of the year!" His voice was a bit threatening and complacent, as if he was sure that Xia Wanyang would not dare to resist.
The long-faced man also agreed: "Yes, sister, we have no choice but to borrow money from you!" After that, he raised a finger and said, "Lend me a hundred yuan first!"
Xia Wanyang chuckled, "I didn't bring any money. When you get off work, please wait for me 200 meters away from the educated youth site!" Her tone was unspeakably relaxed, which surprised Erlangzi and Dachanglian. How could he get a hundred yuan so easily?
After saying that, he picked up the bag of seeds on the ground and walked towards the team leader!
After delivering the seeds, Zhang Shiye had just finished his work. When he saw her coming back, he immediately stepped forward and handed her a handkerchief, "Are you hot?"
Aunt Cai raised her eyebrows and said, "Xia Zhiqing, go back! Just deliver a few more times in the morning and you'll be done with today's work!" After saying that, she looked at her and asked her what was going on.
Xia Wanyang smiled shyly and whispered in Aunt Cai's ear, "We are dating!"
Aunt Cai was stunned for a few seconds. What a guy! He has only been here for a few days? The fourth boy of the Zhang family is really quick to act.
Xia Wanyang returned the handkerchief to Zhang Shiye, "I'm not hot, I was just running errands. I'm going back to eat. You should go and have a rest too!"
