Chapter 21 Autumn Harvest (Part 1)
The next morning.
Bang, bang, bang…
Team leader Shen Chengjun sounded the gong at the village entrance to signal the start of the rally. Everyone hurried towards the village entrance. When Xu Wanning and the others arrived, a large group of villagers had already gathered at the village entrance.
It was Zhao Dahong, the middle-aged woman who had targeted Xu Wanning on the ox cart last time, who shouted at her maliciously:
"Xu Zhiqing, why did you come just now?"
"We've been here for quite some time."
"You educated youth are too lazy to work!"
"Look at you educated youth, who are you showing off to, all dressed up like that?"
Before Xu Wanning could speak, the captain Shen Chengjun cursed with a dark face:
"Zhao Dahong, what the hell are you talking about?"
"You still have the nerve to criticize others? When have you and Liu Laosan ever been active in your work? Every year you're always on the sidelines, and at the end of the year you come to the brigade and throw a tantrum, saying the brigade is withholding your work points and food..."
"Zhao Dahong, if you start working from today and then give me three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets, get out of Liujiagou."
Aunt Jueqi straightened her back and proudly echoed:
"Captain, Zhao Dahong is really outrageous. Last time we went to town, she bullied Xu Zhiqing on the ox cart."
"Zhao Dahong, she's destroying our unity."
Zhao Dahong's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Aunt Juzhen with trembling hands and said:
"Captain, don't listen to Wang Jue's nonsense. I didn't do that."
"Wang Jueqi, I'm going to rip your mouth off."
Aunt Jueqi also cursed, not to be outdone:
"Zhao Dahong, you shameless old bastard."
Zhao Dahong rushed over and started wrestling with Aunt Juqi. The two of them pulled each other's hair and cursed each other.
After a while, Zhao Dahong's face was scratched with bloody marks. Several women in the village hurried to separate them. They said they were separating them, but in fact they were holding Zhao Dahong down and letting Aunt Juqi beat her hard. It was because Zhao Dahong was a bad person in the village. There was no one in the village that she had not offended.
Captain Shen Chengjun roared solemnly:
"That's enough, stop it!"
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Zhao Dahong, deduct ten work points."
"If you do it again, your whole family will be kicked out of Liujiagou."
When Zhao Dahong heard that his work points would be deducted, he immediately sat down on the ground and acted like a rogue, howling and pretending to wipe away his tears.
"Captain, you can't do this. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. How can I live like this?"
"Oh my goodness!"
“I can’t live anymore…”
"Captain, you can't be unreasonable, can you?"
Captain Shen Chengjun gritted his teeth and said, suppressing his anger:
"I'm unreasonable?"
"Okay, Zhao Dahong, you and your family, get out of Liujiagou Village right now!"
Xu Wanning and several educated youth were watching the fun from the side, while Lin Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed so hard.
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. If you don't seek death, you won't die!"
In the end, not only was Zhao Dahong deducted ten work points, but his entire family was also punished to carry manure. It was a loss of both the wife and the army, and they had to go to carry manure in shame.
The team leader stood under the old locust tree, struck the gong, and officially began to speak and assign tasks.
With a very serious expression he said:
"Comrades, our village has started the autumn harvest from today!"
"Hurry up and start harvesting. Don't miss a single grain of wheat."
"Everyone rush to harvest!"
