"What little yellow rabbit? My original fur is white, pure white, okay?" Chu Yanyan frowned and secretly competed with the system.
"Tsk tsk." The system tsk tsk a few times and said nothing more.
Li Hexing just came in after taking a shower, and Chu Yanyan stopped communicating with the system.
the next day.
The water stains on the ground disappeared, and the golden sunlight rose from the east, illuminating the misty mountain village.
It rained yesterday and the soil was loose.
Uncle Li gave the team a task to finish planting peanuts in two days.
Pulling peanuts was relatively easy, but some of the mud layers were still a bit thick underneath even after being washed away by the rain.
If you can't pull it out, loosen it with a hoe.
Li Hexing and Chu Yanyan worked together. Li Hexing pulled out the weeds in front, while Chu Yanyan, holding a small hoe and a basket, checked the pit one by one to see if there were any left.
Time passes bit by bit while working.
That night, just when everyone was taking a shower and getting ready for bed, a long dog barking sound was heard from the vegetable garden.
The sound was accompanied by bursts of human howling.
Those who didn't know the truth quickly ran out of the house with oil lamps and walked towards the source of the sound.
There were already quite a few people gathered in the vegetable garden.
They looked at the men subdued by Chen Feiyang. One of them had his trouser leg bitten by a little yellow dog. He curled up on the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain. Chu Yanyan stood aside and watched coldly.
There was another man who was pulled back by Li Hexing by the collar with one hand.
The oil lamp shone on the faces of those people.
"Isn't this Li Gouzi and Wang Erdan from Team 4?"
Li Gouzi, who was recognized, denied it vehemently: "It's not me, it's not me."
Someone spat on them and said harshly, "Bah, you bastard, I'd recognize you even if you turned into ashes, and you're still pretending not to be me."
"And who is this person that Li Hexing is holding?" someone asked.
The thin man carried by Li Hexing covered his face with cabbage, not wanting them to recognize him.
Li Hexing took the cabbage off the man's face and put him down.
After they saw the man's face clearly as he passed by, Chen Feiyang and others were surprised.
"How can this be an educated youth?"
"Would educated youth also steal vegetables?"
“Incredible.”
“…”
"The vegetable thief has been caught, right?" At this time, Jiang Tiantian came with Uncle Li, Li Zhiye and others.
Push through the crowd.
Li Zhiye and Uncle Li walked into the area where they were surrounded.
Uncle Li saw these people from the neighboring team and gritted his teeth: "Damn it! They really are a team from the neighboring team that came to steal our food."
Li Zhiye looked at the young man who covered his face. Even though the other party covered his face, he could still see something from the overall appearance.
His eyes showed deep sorrow as he turned to look at the villagers behind him: "Since the vegetable thief has been caught, and it was Li Hexing who caught him. In the future, don't frame him because of the past incident between Li Hexing's parents. He has lost enough. Give each other a chance to survive."
He paused for a moment and said, "We'll give you an outcome for this matter. We'll compensate you for your losses. Please register your losses at the commune tomorrow. It's getting late, and we still have work to do tomorrow, so I won't disturb your rest."
Uncle Li pinched his cigarette and said, "Let's all go back."
At Uncle Li's command, they all left. However, when they left, some villagers looked at Li Hexing with complicated eyes.
After the villagers left, only Jiang Tiantian and other educated youth were left in the vegetable field.
"What should we do with these three people?" Jiang Tiantian asked them.
Uncle Li glanced at Li Zhiye, who had a heavy face, and waved his hand to let the people following behind him drag the three people up.
"Don't touch me!" The young man who had covered his face with his arms struggled, not wanting to be recognized by them again.
Li Hexing went up to help.
After some time.
The young man faced them, his head lowered, not wanting them to recognize him.
Chen Feiyang's surprised voice came: "Isn't this the guy who said in the commune meeting room a few days ago that he graduated from a technical school and knows some flower and fruit planting?"
Li Gouzi said, "Uncle Li, it was this guy who came up with the idea of stealing the vegetables. Please don't blame us."
Uncle Li kicked him in the butt: "You're just weird? You're justified in stealing our team's food time and time again."
Li Zhiye looked at the man and asked, "Fang Da, why did you do this?"
Having his name called out in public, Fangda knew that no matter how hard he tried to cover his face, it would be of no use.
He simply raised his face, sneered, and asked, "Why do you do this?"
His face turned ferocious: "It's because I'm tired of living here!!"
"I've been here for two years. My family has some problems, so being assigned here is only natural. But I'm clearly a capable and talented person, yet I was assigned here. I work day and night, it's all work! It's all laborless work. I wanted to make suggestions, but none of you adopted them. You just stick to your old ways. What's the point of me being here?"
"It's useless. I'm just one of your coolies. And I don't even get paid. I only get the same work points as them. The less I work, the less I get. Every day I eat either coarse grains or whole grains. I hate this aimless life!"
It was quiet, with only the echo of Fonda's voice.
After Fangda said what he had been suppressing for a long time, he shrugged and said, "Yes, I was the one who organized the theft of vegetables. I came to your team to steal vegetables not only to avoid your suspicion, but also because the vegetables grown by your team are really delicious. Haha."
"Even so, you can't steal the villagers' vegetables." Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but speak.
Fang Da looked up at her and said, "Now that things have come to this, I don't want to explain too much to you. Anyway, you stupid educated youths, just work here until you die!"
"You!" Jiang Tiantian was angry.
Chen Feiyang kicked him: "Be more polite. You speak as if you are not stupid."
Li Zhiye was silent for a moment, then spoke, "You're right, but many things don't succeed from the start. There are always uncertainties along the way, perhaps bumps and setbacks. What you're talking about is indeed a problem. We may not be able to solve the big problems, but we can improve on the small ones. I'm sorry to have you make us think in this way."
Fangda chuckled a few times and said nothing more.
Uncle Li had the three men taken to the cowshed and kept under watch.
"Let's all go home and go to bed early."
On the way back, the atmosphere was heavy, and everyone's face showed a thoughtful look, thinking about the things behind Fangda's incident.
"Are they all wrong?" Jiang Tiantian murmured to herself.
No one could answer this question.
Some things are too heavy for them to easily say right or wrong.
