Only after the cattle and sheep were brought into the brigade headquarters did the brigade leader have the mind to entertain guests.
Seeing Lin Shangjing carrying Lin Shouwang off the car, the captain said quickly:
"Comrade, just carry me home. You two can live with Xiaoshu in my home until the house is built!"
Lin Shangjing glanced at Lin Manman, who nodded at him, and Lin Shangjing thanked him:
"Then I'm sorry to bother Uncle Captain and Aunt Wang!"
The captain waved his hand and said:
"Why are you bothering me? You two brought so many cows and sheep. You are the great heroes of our Minjin Production Team. Let alone building a house, even if you don't, I'd be willing to let you live in my house for the rest of your lives!"
"Come on, come on, follow me, and be careful with your steps. It snowed early in Heilongjiang Province, and the roads are slippery!"
When they arrived at the captain's house, Lin Shangjing put Lin Shouwang on the kang. Aunt Wang quickly came into the house with a bundle of firewood, lit the kang, and asked Lin Shangjing and Lin Shouwang to sit on the kang to warm themselves up!
Seeing that they were going to have dinner at the captain's house tonight, Lin Manman was about to turn around and go back to get a piece of bacon when Aunt Wang grabbed her and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, where are you going? Take off your shoes and get on the kang. Don't be so polite. We're going to eat at my house today. I'm going to kill a chicken right now. If you dare to go back to get something, I'll be very upset!"
Lin Manman had no choice but to follow Aunt Wang's wishes and took off her shoes and got on the kang!
The captain looked at Lin Shouwang's legs and asked with concern:
"Comrade, you must take good care of your legs. Don't worry about the cows and sheep, and don't be in a hurry to go to work. Whenever you two go, there will be positions reserved for you two!"
Lin Shouwang smiled and said:
"My name is Lin Shouwang, and my brother is Lin Shangjing. Captain, you can call me Shouwang or Dalin, and call my brother Shangjing or Xiaolin!"
"My leg is not a big problem. The bones are not injured. It is all scabbed over now. It will heal in a few days. Then I will go to work with my brother!"
The captain disagreed and said:
"Dalin, this won't do. A leg injury is no small matter. Just rest and take care of it before the New Year, and you can go back to work after the New Year!"
Lin Shangjing also said:
"Brother, don't try to show off. Stay at home and take good care of your legs. I will go to work and earn enough to feed both of us!"
Lin Manman also looked at Lin Shouwang with disapproval, so Lin Shouwang had to shut up. Although he felt that his leg was fine, no one believed him!
They chatted for a while, especially Uncle Zhang. He heard that Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing had taken care of cows and sheep before, so he discussed a lot of experience in raising cows and sheep with them!
Aunt Wang’s young rooster stewed with mushrooms had just been served, and before everyone started eating, they saw Meng Xingye coming over with Zheng Qiuyun and Li Baozhu!
Aunt Wang had never seen such inconsiderate people. Why was it that every time her family had something delicious, these educated youth would come over as if they could smell the food?
Aunt Wang whispered to Lin Manman:
"I don't know how your uncle chose this person to be in charge of the educated youth. I've never seen him manage the educated youth properly, but his nose is better than a dog's. My family stewed meat twice in this winter, and he was responsible for all of it!"
Aunt Wang thought her voice was not loud, but she had a loud voice, so even if she spoke softly, no one in the room could fail to hear her!
Meng Xingye felt a little embarrassed, but when he thought about what he wanted to say, he shamelessly pretended not to hear it and stayed!
Meng Xingye said to the captain in a flattering manner:
"Uncle Captain, we are here to recommend ourselves to you!"
"I see that our team has brought a lot of cattle and sheep. The candidates for raising cattle and sheep have not been decided yet. I have Zheng Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing, and the three of us are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and are willing to contribute to our Minjin production team!"
After listening to Meng Xingye's words, Aunt Wang laughed out loud and said sarcastically:
"Meng Zhiqing is really good at taking advantage of others. He is not afraid of hard work or fatigue. How dare you ask me that? It's so cold, and you are feeding cows and sheep in a warm house. I don't know how hard or tiring it is!"
"If you really don't mind hard work, we just need a few more people to dig ditches in the paddy fields, and I haven't seen you guys sign up!"
After listening to Aunt Wang's scolding, Meng Xingye felt even more embarrassed. He saw that the team leader was frowning, taking two puffs of his pipe, and was about to start chasing people away!
Meng Xingye quickly winked at Liu Baozhu, indicating that she should go up.
The three of them had discussed everything before they came. Meng Xingye explained the matter first, and it would be best if the captain agreed.
If they don't agree, Liu Baozhu will be responsible for playing the victim, after all, her leg was cut during the autumn harvest.
Finally, if playing the victim was useless, the three of them decided that this good thing must not be allowed to happen to Lin Manman or the two children she brought back.
At that time, Zheng Qiuyun will be responsible for biting. Anyway, if they are not good, Lin Manman will definitely not let her get better!
Liu Baozhu received Meng Xingye's look, wiped her eyes twice with a handkerchief, and used pepper water to make her eyes red, and said with tears streaming down her face:
"Uncle Captain, my legs have lost their strength since they were cut last time. I don't think I can do any heavy work anymore!"
"In order not to drag down our production team, I thought I should do something within my ability, and I think feeding sheep is a good fit for me!"
"Of course, I probably can't clean up the sheep manure, but I'm a meticulous person, so I can definitely do a good job of feeding the sheep!"
The team leader hated Liu Baozhu the most. Every time he saw Li Baozhu on the road, he regretted that he shouldn't have seen that she was stronger and sent her to the Minjin production team!
If he had chosen Lin Zhiqing first, why would he have accepted Liu Zhiqing, who was good-looking but useless and always causing trouble?
The captain didn't pamper her at all and said:
"I'm embarrassed to talk about your legs. If you weren't a girl, I would have scolded you a long time ago!"
"Is your cut serious? You can't even use your strength. It's just a skin break. I'll just prescribe some gentian violet and it'll be over. So you can't use your strength?"
