As they got closer, Chu Yanyan could see the people there clearly.
At this time, Li Hexing was holding a long plastic ladle to collect water from the wooden barrel, and he was watering the newly grown cabbages again and again as he walked.
After Chu Yanyan came up, he looked around and saw bamboo tube vegetables planted in the vegetable field not far away. Cabbage was also good, but he was a human being now, and eating cabbage raw was not good for his stomach.
After Li Hexing finished pouring the water in the bucket, he turned around to get a new bucket, but he saw someone he didn't expect to see. Seeing that the boy was wearing cloth shoes, he looked away without leaving a trace: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here... It's time for lunch, why are you busy here alone?" Chu Yanyan looked at him and asked.
"The work hasn't been completed yet, what's the point of having lunch?" Li Hexing said in a flat tone.
He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants today, with his beard flying wildly on his face, looking unkempt.
It looked a bit sloppy to people at that time, but Chu Yanyan thought it was quite manly. Those people didn't know the value of it, but he did.
"Are you the only one working on this? Where's the other person?"
"I don't know." Li Hexing said as he carried his load and walked to another place.
Seeing him like this, Chu Yanyan picked up the wooden bucket next to him and walked with him: "Let me water it with you. How much do you have left to water?"
Li Hexing stopped and looked at him: "You just came back from work, aren't you tired?"
"A little tired." Chu Yanyan answered honestly.
"If you are tired, go back and rest. The work in the afternoon will be even more tiring. I don't need your sympathy." Li Hexing lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
Chu Yanyan pursed her lips, her dark eyes looking straight at the man in front of her, and said softly: "But I don't sympathize with you, I just want to be friends with you. Don't friends help each other?"
“…”
Li Hexing remained silent.
Chu Yanyan had no choice but to change the subject: "The person you work with is lazy. I'll tell the village chief to deduct his work points."
The most important thing during this period was work points. Perhaps this could be used to suppress the situation.
Li Hexing was silent for a moment, then said, "That person is a relative of a team leader. If you complain to the village chief, they will hold a grudge against you."
There are still some connections involved. Even if the village chief punishes him, those people will definitely not let Li Hexing go, including the person who filed the complaint.
Although the educated youth who came from the city to the village had a high status in the eyes of ordinary people, the countryside was dark and it was common for educated youth to die inexplicably in some corner of the village.
The educated youth who died were either having an affair with a girl in the village or were against someone in the village. Since there was no evidence to prove that they were framed, the incident could only be left unresolved.
"Oh." Chu Yanyan didn't care. What's the use of holding a grudge? It would be better to sneak attack him at night to see whether his fist was faster or theirs.
Li Hexing was carrying a wooden barrel. Seeing the boy's nonchalant expression, he chuckled and said he was too young. However, out of the boy's good intentions towards him, he still said, "Don't act on your own and do something irrational. For me, just get used to it."
"Okay." Chu Yanyan agreed verbally.
"Well, you go back first." Li Hexing said.
Chu Yanyan put down the bucket: "Before I go back, I want to know if you have carrots grown here?"
"Carrot?" Li Hexing was puzzled.
"Yes, carrots."
"No. Do you like to eat?" Li Hexing said what Chu Yanyan was thinking, but when he finished speaking, he regretted it. Why did he bring up such a topic again?
Chu Yanyan stared at Li Hexing with a smile in her eyes, and said in a clear and crisp voice: "I like eating carrots. Can you plant some for me?"
…
Chu Yanyan returned to the commune canteen from the vegetable garden. There were very few people eating at this time, and those who stayed were cleaning up the dishes.
Seeing Chu Yanyan with a smile on his face, Jiang Tiantian called him over: "Comrade Chu, come to work quickly."
Chu Yanyan retracted her smile, looked up in the direction of Jiang Tiantian, and then walked towards her.
Jiang Tiantian handed him the mop in her hand and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something happy happen to you?"
Chu Yanyan took the mop, bent down to sweep the floor, and replied, "Nothing."
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me." Jiang Tiantian looked disappointed.
Chu Yanyan swept the scattered mud, rocks and leaves into a pile. There were only the two of them around, and he began to speak nonchalantly:
"Comrade Tiantian, I just went to the vegetable garden and saw that Li Hexing was the only one working there. There was no sign of water being poured into the other wooden barrel. I suspect that the uncle who worked with Li Hexing was lazy and not working."
"Ah? There are people like this?" Jiang Tiantian was stunned.
Chu Yanyan said solemnly, "The great leader once said that labor is the most glorious, and laziness is shameless. And the person who slacks off and doesn't work is simply tarnishing the essence of being a working person."
After hearing the great leader's words, Jiang Tiantian, a fanatical follower, changed her expression and realized the seriousness of the matter. She first looked around to see if anyone was paying attention here.
Then he nodded solemnly and whispered, "You're right. I must tell Uncle Li about this and have him find someone to punish those who don't work hard and are lazy!"
Chu Yanyan's face showed some hesitation. "But I guess since that person dared to be lazy, he must be relying on his connections to do evil and bully honest people. I'm worried that they will hold a grudge against you."
Jiang Tiantian's heart warmed. She hadn't expected Chu Yanyan to consider this aspect. She clenched the rag in her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."
