He had never cared about these things before, nor did he understand them. It was his wife who always said that man is iron and rice is steel, and only by eating well can the body be provided with adequate nutrition. Otherwise, over time, the body will be overdrawn and prone to illness.
When he was at home, his wife paid great attention to this and repeatedly told him to take good care of his health before he went out.
Even though he didn't quite understand the words his wife said, it was right to listen to her.
Now he eats half a steamed bun more at every meal, for fear that he will not get enough nutrition.
If the food is not good, the quantity will make up for it.
Lu Jie was originally full. Seeing his brother eat three big steamed buns and then break off half of one, he thought about how he had just eaten two, so he silently picked up the other half and started to eat it.
"Brother Xiao, look, is that the educated youth over there from our brigade?"
Li Ergou saw something and poked Lu Xiao who was standing beside him.
When he heard the word "educated youth", Lu Xiao raised his head suddenly and saw Qiao Wenwan walking towards him from a distance.
"Brother Xiao, why is she here? Isn't she here to dig the canal too? Although we have women working on the river, we don't have women with thin arms and legs. What can such a woman do?"
River work is hard work, and most of the workers are young and strong laborers. However, there are also some families with difficult lives who want to earn more work points and send female workers, who are all big and strong women.
Some of the women in the countryside who are used to doing farm work are really no worse than men, and even Ergouzi would feel ashamed of himself.
When Lu Xiao saw who was coming, he stopped paying attention and lowered his head to continue eating his meal.
Qiao Wenwan followed behind the leader, looking around.
Because of the package incident, she was sentenced to two months of labor reform. She could have returned to the Red Star Brigade to work, but it was the slack season and there was no work in the brigade. Even the work of digging manure was done by Erhunzi and Li Cuifen, so she was sent to dig the canal.
Looking at the bustling work scenes around her and the sticky mud under her feet, Qiao Wenwan had already scolded Jiang Wanwan.
This is not a job for women at all. Although she knows that labor reform will be tiring, she will be exhausted to death doing this.
As I was thinking about it, I saw a few people sitting in the distance.
According to the regulations, she had to work with those undergoing labor reform. Fortunately, the public security in the commune was good during this period, and she was the only criminal who needed labor reform, so she was assigned to the Red Star Brigade.
None of the educated youth from the Red Star Brigade came to work on the river, and she didn't know many of the members of the Red Star Brigade. Thanks to Jiang Wanwan, she knew all of them.
Seeing the tall and strong man in the crowd, Qiao Wenwan's eyes flashed.
The leader took Qiao Wenwan to the Red Star Brigade's supervisor and left. Qiao Wenwan stood there for a while, then walked over.
"Brother Lu..."
