It's okay that the big team is doing well and there's no shortage of food, but the economy in those remote mountain areas is not doing well and the harvest can't keep up.
After paying the public grain tax, the villagers already have problems getting enough food, let alone feeding these city kids!
The key point is that they cannot pay back the money they borrowed, and many educated youth are left with nothing in the village.
Isn't this a hot potato for the team?
One by one, they sighed and groaned, and they had to take home a few mouths full of food!
Compared with other houses built with yellow mud, the commune was built with blue bricks, and the words "Serve the People" were written on the wall.
A figure ran out of the commune office, covering his head and running around. An old man behind him held a broom and pointed at the young man and cursed: "Boy, do I owe you this? If you run away, I will break your legs. Stop right there."
Lu Li looked miserable: "Uncle, I'm not stupid. I'm standing here and letting you hit me! Listen to me... Ouch... It hurts, uncle, please give me some face and stop hitting me!"
"Bah, you have no dignity at all, I'm going to beat you to death, you disgraceful bastard!"
Even though he was cursing, he didn't use much strength with his hands. Everyone was used to it. It was a routine operation of the Lu family.
This kid Lu Li, his family used their connections to send him to a nearby countryside, but he would run back to the city every now and then to live a quiet life.
He is about 1.8 meters tall, lazier and greedier than the women. Last week, he didn't listen to advice and ate a pot of mushroom soup, which made the whole Youth League compound full of villains.
It’s good that the village doctor induced vomiting quickly, otherwise he would not be able to escape the blame.
Jiang Yan hadn't gotten out of the car yet! I saw the old man's legs, running so fast that they were almost sending out sparks.
Tsk, a real sprinter, very strong!
"Stop right there..."
"I don't……"
The two of them ran around the commune at least several times, and both of them were out of breath.
Waiting for all the educated youth to get off the bus, the people in the team looked bitter and resentful as they saw that they were even more unable to lift or carry anything than the previous batch.
How come all the people here are freeloaders? It's so frustrating.
The commune director came out and, despite the murderous gazes of the team leaders, uttered some official words of welcome.
There were a total of fifty-three educated youths who came this time, and they were called upon to ensure that all of them were present.
In order to be fair, we still use drawing lots to distribute the work. Whoever draws the lot gets it, and no one can complain, lest they be accused of not allocating the labor.
None of these educated youths knew how to work, especially the female ones. The people in the team kept praying in their hearts, "For the Advance Brigade, for the Advance Brigade!"
It seemed that God had heard their prayers. Lu Jiandang was so unlucky. Looking at the names on the list, including Jiang Yan, Xia Dongchun, Yang Guangzong, Xu Laidie, Wang Qingya, Gu Jingcheng, Chen Miao, and Wang Yu.
He gritted his teeth, wondering if someone was targeting him.
How are these three men and five women going to survive down there? Just let his team eat themselves!
It’s not easy to get the wool from the advanced brigade!
The other brigades were obviously very satisfied with the draw. They bared their teeth. One of them came up and patted him on the shoulder: "Old man, why are you looking so gloomy? These are all educated young people who came to the countryside to help us build the countryside."
Lu Jiandang snorted coldly: "How about I switch with you?"
Building the countryside? That sounds good! If we rely on these people who can't tell the difference between grain and grass to achieve common development, the lives of ordinary people will be ruined.
It's really easy to talk without any back pain while standing.
The man laughed awkwardly: "No... no need, the commune's arrangement is very good, I will obey it!"
After saying that, he ran away, fearing that Lu Jiandang would regret it and smoke again. Lu Jiandang felt it was too hot to hold, so he bit the bullet and named: "Gu Jingcheng."
"arrive!"
"Xia Dongchun."
"arrive."
Seeing them standing up one by one, Lu Jiandang thought, this is screwed, none of them can do their job!
Lu Li, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing, holding his stomach. Help, did his uncle break the law of heaven?
The one coming here is even more useless than him!
When Lu Jiandang clicked on the last one, his voice was trembling: "Jiang... Jiang Yan..."
Jiang Yan stretched out her hand, "Here..."
The first time Lu Jiandang saw Jiang Yan, his eyes went dark. What...what can this girl do in the countryside!
They fall down when the wind blows, let alone work! They can't even make a living, and you think they are a charity team?
When Lu Li saw Jiang Yan, his eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands together and approached her with a playful smile: "Little educated youth, do you want a partner?"
The others also heard this. Xu Laidi gritted his teeth and said, "You vixen, you're flirting with people wherever you go!"
Jiang Yan glanced at her indifferently, and she was like a chicken with its neck strangled, and she dared not say a word in an instant.
She politely declined: "Sorry, I already have a partner!"
Hearing that he had a girlfriend, Lu Li's eyes were full of regret. Oh, he already has one, and he even said he would introduce her to his brother!
His brother is already 24 years old, and if he doesn't get married, he will just wait for him to see him off to the grave!
Lu Jiandang took a deep breath, walked up to him and slapped him on the back of his head twice: "Go drive the car, what are you talking about? You have to go to the fields when you get back to the brigade! You have nothing to do!"
Lu Li grimaced in pain and ran to drive the car.
Lu Jiandang then said, "I don't care where you come from. Once you come to the Qianjin Brigade, you are a member of our brigade. I will tell you the truth up front.
If you don't obey the instructions, don't listen to the command, and drag your feet, I will return to the commune. Now, carry your luggage and follow me. "
The others expressed their understanding, nodded in unison, and followed him out carrying their luggage.
Wang Qingya was so happy: "Brother Jingcheng, we are grouped together!"
Gu Jingcheng's eyes were gentle: "Well, I will take good care of you."
Yang Guangzong also rushed to say: "Qingya, I'm here! I won't let you suffer!"
Wang Qingya looked at the two of them. As a woman, her vanity was greatly satisfied. She was too charming!
Why do you want to take care of her? She is an independent woman of the new era!
It’s different from Jiang Yan who relies on men.
She pretended to be shy and said, "We are comrades, we should help each other. In this rural area, only when we educated youths gather together can we avoid being bullied."
At this point, she glanced at Jiang Yan, as if Jiang Yan was the one who destroyed the unity.
Jiang Yan chuckled: "Who are you picking? Are you fooled by it? You are amazing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qingya and the others' faces turned pale.
Lu Li just happened to hear it, and he pouted and said, "In the words of our Yun Province, don't go crazy, it's like you've eaten poisonous mushrooms!"
Seeing someone speaking for Jiang Yan, and that man being so handsome, Wang Qingya was extremely jealous.
Shouldn't this man help himself?
What kind of vision is that? Helping that psychopath? Just wait! One day he will regret it.
She could imagine his look of horror, fear and disgust when he found out Jiang Yan was sick.
Humph, she wants Jiang Yan to be ruined!
When they reached the tractor, several people struggled hard to throw the luggage on, but no one helped Jiang Yan.
Lu Li said, "Little comrade, do you need any help?"
Jiang Yan wanted to refuse, but then she heard him say, "My name is Lu Li!"
Oh, Lu Li, isn't he Lu Xiao's younger brother? It's such a coincidence that she met him!
Then she... won’t be polite!
