I don’t know if it was because they were really scared or what, but when Zhao Shuanglian and Song Yun got up early in the morning, the first thing they did was to check their things. They were relieved when they found that nothing was lost.
When facing Meng Zhiyu and others, his eyes were still not eyes and his nose was not a nose.
First wash the millet, then wash two eggs, put them in the pot and light the fire, then Meng Zhiyu started to wash them.
After I took care of myself, the porridge in the pot was already boiling.
Li Qingqing had just put the food in the pot and saw Meng Zhiyu had already started eating eggs. "I'm going to do the same as you starting tomorrow, Zhiyu, your method is really great."
You can wash and cook at the same time!
Meng Zhiyu smiled faintly and said nothing. This was also the reason why he used to make use of every minute possible in order to sleep a few more minutes in the morning when he was working.
Hearing the gong for assembly, everyone packed up and went out, heading towards the assembly square.
"Zhi Yu, your hat looks nice. Where did you buy it?" Li Qingqing walked to the right of Meng Zhiyu and looked at the big straw hat on her head with surprise. The main reason was that the straw hat was indeed a bit big, and the weaving technique looked very complicated.
Meng Zhiyu touched the cool hat on his head and said, "I bought it at my house."
Mu Ziwei followed the girls, shielding his forehead with his hands, looking at the edge of the big hat in front of him, "Xiaoyu is really careful. After work, I will also go to Uncle Zhou's and buy a straw hat."
"Call me when you leave." said Song Guangye next to him.
After arriving at the big square, the five team leaders checked the number of people in their teams. Then the team leader assigned Meng Zhiyu to the third team and Zhang Qingwan to the fourth team.
It is the slack season for farmers now. Apart from weeding the fields, we also have to water the crops. Watering is usually a man's job.
Meng Zhiyu found his team, walked over, and discovered that Zhou Songbai was also there. Thinking of the gossip shared by Li Qingqing, he secretly looked up and down at his figure. He looked quite strong and not thin.
Logically speaking, as a son with a frail and sickly father who needs to take medicine all year round, he should work harder and earn more work points.
While thinking, Meng Zhiyu squatted on the ground, grabbed a piece of green grass in her hand and pulled it hard, but the grass root was too stubborn. She pulled the grass on the ground into two halves, but the grass root under the ground still did not show up.
"Meng Zhiqing, this won't work. You're removing the roots of the weeds. You're only removing the leaves and leaving the main roots in the ground. Isn't that the same as not doing anything at all?" Li Lian'er walked up behind her at some point, looked at the grass in her hand, and said with a smug look on her face.
Meng Zhiyu threw away the weeds in his hand and continued plucking without looking up. "This is my first time weeding, so naturally I can't do it perfectly. I'll try hard and practice a few times, and I'll eventually learn. But does Comrade Li always do things perfectly the first time?"
Before Li Lian'er could continue, she heard an auntie nearby shout loudly, "Exactly, Li Lian'er, your first time pulling weeds wasn't as good as Meng Zhiqing's. He could pull them up somewhat, but when you pulled them, the weeds wouldn't budge at all."
As the daughter of the team leader, Li Lian'er has always been arrogant and domineering. She holds her head high when talking to others, as if she is nobler than them. Although her work in the fields is a mess, she likes to hold a notebook and point fingers at others. There is no one in the village who has not been criticized by her. After a long time, everyone dislikes her.
"Mrs. Niu, you are not proactive in your work. Be careful or I will deduct your work points." Li Lian'er looked at Mrs. Niu's strong figure, pointed at her with the scoring book, and threatened with an unhappy look on her face.
Mrs. Niu stood up, pinched her thick waist, and said fearlessly, "If you have the guts, go ahead and deduct my work points. If you dare to deduct my work points, I will go to the county and sue you. You're abusing your power for personal gain just because you're the team leader's daughter."
The captain of the third team came out to smooth things over. "Alright, get back to work, Comrade Li. I can manage my team members, so you don't have to worry about them."
Although Li Lian'er is the captain's daughter, and although it sounds very powerful, it is actually just a title at most. After all, the position of captain is a target. If you do well, it's good, but if you don't, a group of people will report you.
Even if the captain wanted to be partial to his daughter and protect her, he would not dare to retaliate by relying on his status. At most, he would make things difficult for her in private on some small matters.
But after all, they were living under the captain's command, so they had to give him the face he deserved. It was just that Li Lian'er really didn't know how to do things, so the villagers were too lazy to pretend to give the captain face.
The team leader, perhaps having heard the news, ran over and looked at her with a headache, "Lian'er, come here. What are you doing out in the fields as a scorekeeper? If you want to go out, I'll find someone else to keep score."
Li Lian'er naturally didn't want to work in the fields, so she could only glare at Meng Zhiyu fiercely and say, "Just wait for me."
Meng Zhiyu and Niu Pozi thanked her, "Auntie, thank you for speaking up for me."
Mrs. Niu waved her big, strong hands. "It has nothing to do with you. I just can't stand the way she looks."
Because of this incident, the team leader of the third team came over specially to give a one-on-one teaching, demonstrating and teaching at the same time, and then asked, "Do you understand?"
Meng Zhiyu nodded, feeling that he had learned it, "I understand."
"Then you try it."
Meng Zhiyu was full of confidence and stretched out his hand to demonstrate the results of his learning. Although the grass was still broken this time, most of the roots were exposed.
"Okay, okay, good, just pull it out like this." The third team leader nodded in praise and encouragement.
Meng Zhiyu nodded happily, full of energy, and worked hard to pull out the weeds. However, after pulling out five or six, his palms felt hot and painful. When he opened his hands, they were all red.
After that, I just grabbed some grass, pretended to be working hard, and stared blankly there, but in fact I was reciting what I had learned that day.
Zhou Songbai was tired and stopped to rest. When he looked up, he saw Meng Zhiyu slacking off.
Mrs. Zhao, who had just finished plucking and returned, saw this and raised her eyebrows. She perked up and shouted at the top of her voice, "Team Leader, I want to report that Meng Zhiyu is slacking off here."
Meng Mengzhiqing came back to his senses. While pulling out weeds with his hands, he glanced at the agitated black woman and said, "Auntie Black, which eye of yours saw me being lazy? I'm working very hard. Look at my hands, they're all red and swollen from working so hard."
Although this struggle is different from that struggle, they are the same, both are efforts for a better tomorrow.
The third team leader frowned and looked at her palm. He thought this young woman was too weak, but he couldn't force her to ignore her hands and let them get bruised just to pull weeds. "Meng Zhiqing, when you come this afternoon, bring a piece of discarded rag to pad your hands."
"Thank you, Captain."
Mother Niu looked at the delicate Meng Zhiyu and said earnestly, "Meng Zhiqing, you are so lazy and weak. It will be difficult for you to find a husband in the future. You can't do any farm work. How will you support your husband and son?"
Meng Zhiyu was truly stunned. What kind of statement was this? "Auntie Hei, why should I support my husband and son? Logically, men should be the ones supporting the family."
Or both parties can work together to run their own small home.
