Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Canned Fruit, Hen
Although Zhou Damei disagreed with what the team leader and the others said, Zhang Yunhuan insisted that if she disagreed, she would go to the county government to find the leaders...
In the end, Zhang Yunhuan won!
"I will be like you from now on and won't have to go to work anymore." Zhang Yunhuan said cheerfully after leaving the brigade headquarters.
How could she not be happy? Even if she could escape half of the suffering in the future, she really couldn't support herself with the work points she earned. It would be better for her family to support her more.
Zhuo Jia gave her a thumbs-up and asked, "When did you first come up with this idea?"
I have to say that this was a really beautiful job, with a clear purpose and done cleanly and efficiently. They just insisted that the person who was scolded was in poor health and could not go to work.
Zhang Yunhuan said proudly, "I didn't think of it at first. I only thought of it when the old lady was trying to extort a pound of meat from me. Humph, she dared to cheat me with such a conscience, so why can't I cheat back?"
She felt that she had been kind enough and was only asking not to work. If she had been more vicious, she would have asked the old lady to compensate her for the loss of her work.
But she wasn't that vicious. With the work points she earned, the loss wouldn't be that big if she didn't go to work.
Zhuo Jia nodded in agreement. "You're right. You have to subdue someone like Zhou Damei once and for all, or she'll try to cheat you again next time."
But she felt that there would not be a next time, because she heard that the people in Zhou Damei's family were really lazy. Except for the rush to harvest when they had to go to work, the rest of the time it was the daughters-in-law and granddaughters who went to work, and the men just lay at home.
If Zhang Yunhuan doesn't go to work this time, then Zhou Damei's family will have one more person to go to work, and it will be compulsory. She thinks that this quota for one person who must go to work will cause a fight in Zhou Damei's family.
Zhang Yunhuan curled her lips and said, "Let me tell you, this old lady is really too much. Her insults are really unpleasant to hear."
This was the first time she had met such a person. She was a little confused at first, but then she realized...
The opportunity has come!
Zhuo Jia was amused by her expression, and the two of them chatted and laughed while ruining the educated youth site.
On the other hand, Zhou Damei is in a bad situation. Asking her son to go to work, no matter which son goes, is like cutting out her heart. Why not...
Let the little granddaughter go?
It’s just the right time to take over Zhang Zhiqing’s job of collecting grass for pigs!
Thinking of this, Zhou Damei walked back with her bound feet swinging. She was going to tell the team leader.
Back at the educated youth camp, Zhang Yunhuan threw himself onto the kang, spread out like a big letter, and said with satisfaction, "I finally don't have to go to work anymore."
Happy days come so suddenly!
"You should have a good rest." Zhuo Jia said without turning her head while rummaging through the kang cabinet.
Zhang Yunhuan raised his head and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Why does she feel like she has free time while Zhuo Jia is so busy?
"Found it." Zhuo Jia said with a smile while holding a bottle of canned fruit. "I'll look for canned fruit. You stay at the educated youth camp. I'll go get some food for Qiao Anchuan."
As she spoke, she went to look for the water bottle she brought with her when she first arrived. It was something she always carried with her, and it was just right for her to use to fill sugar water for Qiao Anchuan.
So Zhang Yunhuan watched her go back and forth, looking for sugar, pouring hot water, and then putting the kettle and canned fruit into the basket...
"No, you delivered canned fruit and sweet soup. Are the work points Qiao Anchuan earned for you this day enough to buy all the food you sent him?" Zhang Yunhuan asked in shock.
Her parents even said she was a spendthrift. They should really let her parents come and see Zhuo Jia. This is a real example of someone with big hands.
Zhuo Jia said without hesitation: "This is not measured in this way, this is my intention."
As soon as they started dating, Qiao Anchuan went to help her with work. It would be unreasonable for her not to express her gratitude.
Zhang Yunhuan rolled his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and leave. Close the door for me."
Such a generous gesture would surely make the other members of the team jealous.
Zhuo Jia doesn't care whether others are jealous or not. As long as she thinks it's worth it, it's fine. Besides, the work is so hard and tiring, so what's wrong with her giving some delicious food?
And although Qiao Anchuan was working for her, the work he did was much more tiring than hers, digging canals over there. Of course, those who worked here earned a full cent!
In Qiao Anchuan's words, that is, while he is around, he should help her earn more work points, so that no one will say anything if she stops working in the future. Although she doesn't care, she can't help but think too much about it.
Zhuo Jia walked to the ditch digging area and saw a group of men working shirtless from a distance. She just took a quick glance and turned her head away. This job was really tiring!
Without Zhuo Jia saying anything, Qiao Anchuan came running over, putting on his clothes as he ran. When he reached Zhuo Jia, he asked with a flushed face, "Jia Jia, do you have something to talk to me about? Let's go talk under the tree over there. It's cooler over there."
While speaking, he subtly blocked Zhuo Jia's view. There was nothing good to see over there, and Jia Jia couldn't see it!
Zhuo Jia raised the basket in her hand and said with a smile, "I'll come over to bring you some water."
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Anchuan again. Poor child, his face, which was not white to begin with, had now turned black and red!
Qiao Anchuan took the basket from her hand, took a look at it, took out the kettle, and handed the canned fruit back: "I don't like canned food. You eat it, and I'll just drink water."
Why would he, a grown man, eat that canned fruit? Let Jia Jia eat it.
Zhuo Jia was amused by this. She stuffed the basket directly into Qiao Anchuan's hands and said, "Since I'm giving it to you, just eat it. You have to eat it whether you like it or not. Otherwise, you won't be able to work for me anymore."
She now feels that the work she did before was indeed easy. Digging a canal is not a job for humans, and taking a full centimeter is not something humans can do.
Thinking of this, without waiting for Qiao Anchuan to speak, she continued, "You can ask the team leader to change your job tomorrow. Digging the canal is too tiring. I can't eat much by myself."
She didn't know how these people could do such tiring work!
Qiao Anchuan smiled foolishly: "Not tired, I know you don't eat much, I will get full centimeters this month, then you don't have to work anymore!"
Why am I tired? I’m not tired at all. Besides, Jia Jia has come so far to see him, so Jia Jia must be even more tired!
Zhuo Jia glared: "No, I have money. If the work points are not enough, then I will use the money to buy it, but you can't do this job anymore."
Oh my God, Qiao Anchuan has to go back to the army after his vacation. If he really gets full work points for a month, then when he returns, he will be dark and thin, and everyone knows that he is going home to get married...
Thinking of that scene, Zhuo Jia felt like it was a nightmare. If someone didn’t know, they would think she had done something!
Seeing her firm tone, Qiao Anchuan had to take a step back and said, "It's windy and cool these few days, so I'll work here for a few days. When it gets hot in a few days, I'll change my job."
In fact, he really thought digging canals was a good job. Although it was a bit tiring, the work points were high. However, Jia Jia was obviously not happy about it, so he decided not to make Jia Jia angry.
"Hurry up! I'll leave after I see you finish the canned fruit." Zhuo Jia opened the can of fruit and saw that he was about to speak, so she added, "Hurry up! The sun will burn you soon. What if I get tanned?"
Qiao Anchuan, who wanted to continue speaking, said: "..."
There was nothing he could do. He was not good at talking and couldn't beat Jia Jia, so he had to accept his fate and eat the canned fruit. However, in this process, his only achievement was probably that he got Zhuo Jia to eat two pieces as well.
Finally, Qiao Anchuan drank the sweet water in the can, and Zhuo Jia left contentedly. She had to go to the brigade to ask Aunt Ding, she wanted to buy an old hen and stew it for Qiao Anchuan to nourish him!
"Auntie Ding." Zhuo Jia saw Auntie Ding cooking in the kitchen, and she leaned over and called out with a smile.
After shouting, I looked around to make sure I didn't see Heidan.
Aunt Ding smiled when she saw her like this: "Heidan went to his grandmother's house with his mother today."
Every time he said he came to see her, but when he got to her house, the first thing he looked for was Heidan. It was obvious that he liked children. But it’s good to like children. He should have two more in the future.
It’s a pity that Zhuo Jia didn’t know what Aunt Ding was thinking, otherwise she would definitely run away.
Zhuo Jia, who didn't know, started to talk business: "Auntie, please ask if anyone has an old hen that doesn't lay eggs. I want to buy one."
We have to ask Aunt Ding about this, because in this brigade, there is nothing Aunt Ding doesn't know, and Aunt Ding's family might have...
Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Aunt Ding immediately said, "I have one at home. Whenever you want one, I'll go catch it for you. By the way, can you kill one? Or should I kill it for you and take care of it?"
Zhuo Zhiqing is her god of wealth, and she has to serve him well. Thinking of the ten yuan she just got, Ding Lanhua felt her heart burning with joy.
Of course Zhuo Jia didn't know how to kill a chicken. She had originally thought of taking it back to the educated youth camp and asking a male educated youth to help kill it, but since Aunt Ding took the initiative to ask, she nodded and said, "Okay, Aunt Ding, I'll come get it this afternoon. There's no rush."
She was busy cooking now, so she wouldn't be so careless. However, she gave the money to Aunt Ding in advance, two dollars. Although this was her first time buying something, she had already inquired about it clearly.
Aunt Ding looked at the money in her hand, grinning from ear to ear, and nodded quickly: "You don't have to come and get it. I'll bring it to you after dinner."
When the old man comes back, she will ask him to kill the chicken. She will boil water now. She must not delay Zhuo Zhiqing's business.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
There’s no need to be so anxious!
But seeing Aunt Ding's excitement, Zhuo Jia left silently. She felt that she didn't need to say anything, because Aunt Ding wouldn't listen even if she did, so she decided to go back to the educated youth site first.
When she returned to the educated youth site, she saw Comrade Zhang Yunhuan, who was lying on the kang when she left, also holding a cup of malted milk and drinking it with relish.
"Is it delicious?" Zhuo Jia asked softly, standing beside her.
If old lady Zhou Damei saw this, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood. She was crying her heart out in the morning, but now she is leisurely drinking malted milk at noon.
Zhang Yunhuan narrowed his eyes, his face full of aftertaste: "It's delicious, I have to thank Zhou Damei and Dabao for this."
Without them, how could I have such a happy life.
Zhuo Jia: "..."
Very good, this time I am really pissed off.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Yunhuan asked curiously, "Why did you come back so soon? I thought you were coming back with Qiao Anchuan."
This time he came back earlier than she expected, and brought so many delicious foods, so it was inevitable that the two of them would spend some time together.
Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at her: "What are you imagining? We are both decent people. I came back a long time ago. I went to find Aunt Ding to buy an old hen."
Still clingy, Qiao Anchuan blushed after just a few words outside!
Zhang Yunhuan asked in disbelief, "Did you buy it for Qiao Anchuan?"
"Well, digging the canal is so tiring, I need to catch up." Zhuo Jia looked calm.
Zhang Yunhuan: “…”
To be honest, if Zhuo Jia were to be offered such conditions, how many people would be willing to cry and beg to help her get a job?
