Chapter 51 Chapter 51 A fish paddling in the water, a stick stirring up shit...
No matter how turbulent the undercurrents are in each family in the village, at least on the surface, everyone still unanimously believes that this school is well built.
Those who have children think that their children can go to school without having to be blind, and those whose children have grown up think that it would be more convenient for their children to become teachers. Even if they cannot become teachers, it would be nice to find a partner who is a teacher. Even if they have no children, they are looking forward to the idea that the tuition fees collected after the school is built can be shared by everyone, which is a bargain.
So early the next morning, everyone gathered at the threshing ground, and they were very active and enthusiastic.
Even the educated youth who usually complained at work and always took advantage of opportunities to cheat and slack off were all there in an orderly manner.
When Dongfeng Brigade was still a village, it was a large village with about a hundred people. After it became a brigade, some individual households were merged. Houses had been built in most places, so the school was located on the only remaining vacant land not far from the foot of the mountain.
Although it is called an open space, there are actually a few trees growing here and there in the middle. Two of them are unfortunately stuck right in the middle and have to be cut down. What's more unfortunate is that one of the trees is particularly large, several arms thick, with lush branches and leaves, and towering into the sky.
Just at this moment a gust of wind blew, the trunk of the tree did not move at all, but the dense leaves on the top crisscrossed and made a rustling sound.
As the saying goes, old trees become spirits. Although people are calling for the elimination of feudal superstitions, can you just say you don't believe in something?
Just for example, after more than 40 or 50 years, many people still dare not stick their legs out of the quilt when they sleep at night for fear of being grabbed by ghosts.
They found a piece of red cloth and wrapped it around the tree trunk. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to move first.
"Get out of the way!" The captain snatched the axe in anger. "Why are you taking so long to chop down a tree? This tree is growing well. We can use it as a beam when we dry it out."
The team members who were scolded by him not only did not have any dissatisfaction, but also took the initiative to step aside to make it easier for the captain to take action - you do it, you do it.
Old tree spirit, if you really exist and are resentful about being chopped down, remember this. This is the one who started it first, so look for him if you want to find someone.
The team members looked submissive, but their inner chatter was about to overflow - these old farmers who have been dealing with the land all their lives look as honest and simple as the soil, but in fact they have some natural cunning.
The captain actually felt a little uneasy - if he really didn't believe these things at all, he wouldn't have secretly climbed up the mountain in the middle of the night to burn paper.
He stared at the tree in front of him and spat on the ground, muttering softly: "Don't blame me. The kids need to study, and I can't do anything about you standing in the way."
He glanced around and found that others were afraid to get too close, so he lowered his voice and said, "You can blame Zhao Sanzhu. He was the one who chose this place and recommended it to the higher-ups. I was just a follower."
"Do you know who Zhao Sanzhu is? Let me point it out to you. He's the short, dark guy hiding in the back with very few hairs on his head. Look, if he wasn't guilty, why would he run that far?" The team leader chattered, "He's our village party secretary, boss! His nickname is Zhao Niamao, and he lives in Balabala."
The captain was afraid that the old tree spirit, who he didn't know whether it existed or not, would not be able to find anyone, so he described it in such detail. If he didn't know it, he would have even reported Zhao Sanzhu's household registration number.
Hiding away from Secretary Zhao, he sneezed twice.
While they were working on the trees, the educated youth also received their respective tasks - the women were assigned to clear the weeds on the ground, and the men were assigned to carry soil and stones.
For large-scale heavy construction work organized during the slack season like this, in addition to work points, the government would generally provide a lunch. Thanks to Song Ruan's good relationship with the team leader's family, he got a slightly lighter job as a kitchen helper.
But after all, you have to cook for dozens of strong laborers. To be honest, although it is better than digging, it is not much easier.
For example, she now has to carry a basket of cabbage and potatoes that is almost half a person's height to the river to wash them.
But it doesn’t matter—she’s got it!
Song Ruan carefully observed to make sure there was no one around, and begged the system, which was actually very easy to talk to, to help her clean the leaves with one click, although it cursed at the system, and then poured some clean water evenly into it for demonstration. OK, it's done!
Although the work was done, she didn't plan to go back immediately. She sat on a rock by the river, pulled the basket to her side, held a piece of cabbage in her hand and pretended to be relaxed, but in fact she closed her eyes and began to doze off.
"Tong, call me in half an hour."

Suffering always comes to those who can endure it, and work always goes to capable people. Song Ruan squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and reaffirmed his slogan in his heart - he could be a fish paddling in the water, a black horse, or a stick that stirs up shit, but he must never be a capable donkey.
“Fuck!”
When he mentioned the donkey, Song Ruan suddenly opened his eyes and slapped his thigh in annoyance.
Her little donkey's legs are almost healed. After being well fed and well fed for so long, they have become much stronger. Although they still can't carry a person, they are more than capable of carrying some food!
She should have brought it over!
Finding yourself doing extra work is as painful as being ripped off.
Song Ruan covered her chest in pain. She was really too hardworking and honest!
The anti-essence system sneered
[How shameless.] 】
Song Ruan turned a deaf ear and continued to angrily pick up a palm-sized stone and throw it into the river.
With a bang, a hapless fish that stuck its head out and tried to peck at the cabbage leaves was knocked unconscious.
The fish didn't even have time to struggle before it turned over.
Song Ruan went forward in confusion and picked it up. It was a big thing weighing about four or five kilograms.
Although I was confused, my instinct to brag had already made me say: "See? God has rewarded me for my hard work. This is called God rewards hard work!"
Anti-Sperm System: ...

Since he had picked up the fish for free, Song Ruan decided to take it as a token of his "surrender" to enjoy an easy life in the next few days. So he walked back with high spirits, carrying the vegetables in one hand and the fish in the other.
——I took a special detour to take a stroll around the construction site.
Sure enough, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"Wow, the educated youth Song caught such a big fish."
Song Ruan showed the fish in all directions and raised her voice: "Yes, when I went to the river to wash vegetables, the fish was attracted by the leaves. I thought it was caught during working hours with the cabbage of the brigade. I will take it to the canteen of the brigade later and give everyone a snack at noon today!"
She can't do good things without leaving a name! She was already low-key by not carving it on stone and asking everyone to recite it repeatedly!
Upon hearing this, everyone was excited.
"For us to eat?"
"Xiao Song is a very honest educated youth."
"Yes, I was wondering before why we should give such a relaxed and happy job in the kitchen to an outsider. Now I think the person who said that is just jealous. Xiao Song, the educated youth, really treats us as his own!"
"That's right."
Even though some people think that Song Ruan's appearance is a spendthrift, they dare not directly oppose it in such a unanimous situation. The scene is so harmonious.
After listening to everyone praising her with her tail held high, Song Ruan walked towards the brigade cafeteria with satisfaction.
He pushed the door open with his butt raised, and the educated youth Song made a brilliant appearance with a thump.
"Who wouldn't feel sorry if the door was broken by hitting it..." The captain's wife was about to roar, but when she looked closely and saw Song Ruan holding a big fish, she paused.
Song Ruan was full of confidence and cried out loudly: "Auntie, I caught a big fish while washing vegetables. I can give everyone a snack today!"
Caught a fish?
Instead of keeping it for yourself, you give it to everyone as a snack?
The captain's wife changed her tone immediately and yelled at the others, "Who closed the door? Didn't you feel bad that the young educated youth Song slammed into the door so hard and hurt him?!"
Others: …
As she spoke, she turned to Song Ruan with a big smile on her face: "Ah, look how hardworking our little Song is. Look how clean the cabbage is. He also caught such a big fish... You must be exhausted. Go over there and take a rest."
Others: …
