On that day, Lin Manman was told by Captain Wang to go feed the pigs with Wang Qingmiao and Grandma Bai the next day!
This was really a surprise for Lin Manman!
You know, for someone who studies veterinary medicine, feeding pigs is a piece of cake!
Although, with her strength, she can do the farm work during the autumn harvest, but that doesn't mean she won't be tired, especially in such a sunny day!
Moreover, watching Liu Baozhu working so hard during the autumn harvest, she only had to stay in the pigsty, with three people feeding five pigs. It’s so satisfying just thinking about it, haha!
However, there is no need to make this known to everyone in advance. After all, the effect will be better if it is unexpected!
After feeding the pigs obediently for a few days, when the bedding, cotton coats, trousers, and inner clothes were all ready, the autumn harvest officially began.
On the morning of the autumn harvest, all the villagers and educated youth were called to the grain drying ground. The team leader stood in front and shouted:
"For this autumn harvest, everyone must work very hard. This year our production team has a good harvest, and we cannot let the autumn harvest hold us back. We must ensure that the grain is harvested in both quantity and quality and stored in the granary. Do you have confidence?"
All the villagers were very encouraged and shouted "Yes" in unison.
The team leader nodded with satisfaction at the reactions of the villagers and educated youth, and gave the order:
"This autumn harvest will still be divided into groups according to the previous ones, as for the five new educated youths."
"Yang Yazhou, Team 1, Sun Tao, Team 2, Li Qiuping, Team 3, Liu Baozhu, Team 4."
"Each team leader should find a good fighter to lead these four people! After all, they are educated youth from the city who have never done farm work. Teach them patiently. Don't be like Yang Zhiqing last year, who cut off his legs on the first day. Not only did he lose work points, but he also delayed the progress of the autumn harvest!"
The captain's words criticized Yang Qiuyun by name, and at the same time warned the other educated youth not to play tricks, otherwise they would not only get hurt, but also have their work points deducted!
If the work points are deducted, the villagers will go hungry next year. They will definitely not do this. After all, they rely on the work points from the autumn harvest to support their families!
But this was not necessarily the case for these educated youth. After all, they ate from a big pot, so if they cut themselves, they would just feel the pain themselves. Not only did they avoid labor, they also didn’t eat much less!
Having said what needed to be said and given the warnings, there was nothing else to do, so the captain raised his hand and said:
"There's nothing else to do. Let's go back and make something good. After dinner, everyone will get back to work!"
Seeing that the team leader had not assigned any work to Lin Manman from beginning to end, and Lin Manman did not seem to be in a hurry, Liu Baozhu felt that there was something fishy going on. She hurried forward and said as if she was thinking about the team leader:
"Uncle Captain, you still haven't assigned one person a task. Which team should Lin Zhiqing go to for the autumn harvest? It's impossible for everyone to work during the autumn harvest while she is the only one to sit back and do nothing!"
"Besides, if she doesn't work, she won't get any work points. Wouldn't that mean she's robbing other educated youth of their food?"
The captain frowned, wondering why Liu Zhiqing was the only one who had so much trouble. She was always the one who had to take the lead. The captain said impatiently:
"Just take care of yourself and make sure the autumn harvest is not a mess. There's no point worrying about it all day long!"
"Lin Zhiqing is young and looks weak. He was assigned to feed pigs a few days ago!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Baozhu exploded and said:
"Uncle Captain, why does Lin Manman have to feed the pigs? You didn't tell me in advance that there would be such a job as feeding pigs. Everyone is working so hard to harvest the autumn harvest, but she is the only one feeding the pigs. This is not fair. I want to feed the pigs too!"
The team leader was amused by Liu Baozhu's speech. How come as a team leader, he had to ask for permission in advance to arrange work for a new educated youth?
Besides, what is her attitude? She is always afraid of hard work and only takes easy tasks. Who gives her the face to do so?
The captain severely criticized:
"Liu Zhiqing, no one else said anything, why are you the only one who is afraid of hard work?"
"You want to feed pigs too? Are you young or weak? How dare you mention feeding pigs?"
"Besides, I, the team leader, have the final say in the Minfeng Production Team. It is not your turn as a new educated youth to make decisions!"
"If you don't want to harvest in autumn, you won't have to go to work later. I'll send you to the Youth League Office of the commune right now!"
These words were quite serious. The team leader was afraid that other educated youth would cause trouble again, so he used Liu Baozhu as an example to scare the monkeys!
Liu Baozhu was scolded so much that tears rolled around in her eyes for several times, but she didn't dare to let them fall, and she didn't dare to say another word.
After all, she could still argue about other things, but she was still quite scared when she was sent back to the commune's Youth League Office during the autumn harvest!
If she was sent back at this time, it would undoubtedly mean that she was lazy and troublesome. Which good production team would be willing to accept her? What was waiting for her might be a production team in a remote village or deep in the mountains!
Seeing that Liu Baozhu stopped talking, the captain went home seriously with his hands behind his back!
Liu Baozhu didn't dare to offend the captain, but she would not let Lin Manman go. When the captain left, Liu Baozhu wiped her tears and arrogantly stood in front of Lin Manman who was also about to leave and said:
"Lin Manman, don't think that the team leader gave you this pig-raising job. It's a benefit that the team leader gave to all of us new educated youth. If you are sensible, you should take the initiative to give it up and let everyone do it for a day, so that all five of us can take a break!"
Liu Baozhu has brought in three other newly arrived educated youth as his allies, preparing to force Lin Manman to submit!
Compared to the autumn harvest, everyone is of course willing to feed pigs. Even if they have only been here for a few days, everyone knows that feeding pigs is a pretty good job in the brigade!
Don’t say that raising pigs is dirty and smelly. Farming requires spreading manure, which is even dirtier and smellier!
What's more, although feeding pigs only earns 6 work points a day, the work is not hard and you get work points every day. When added up throughout the year, the work points earned are no less than those earned by the strong laborers in the team!
There is also a hidden benefit to raising pigs, that is, when you slaughter the New Year pigs at the end of the year, you can get a few more pounds of meat than others!
So when the other three newly arrived educated youth heard what Liu Baozhu said, they looked at Lin Manman expectantly, waiting for Lin Manman to agree!
