Chapter 16: It's time to clean up
"Everything that can be planted in the nearby areas has been planted, and everything that can be reclaimed has been reclaimed long ago. Then there are the woods. If it's not suitable for reclaiming, we'll have to go somewhere further away."
Lu Dongping followed her slowly, looking at her. He always felt that she took two steps at a time, and she could only take one step at the speed at which he took two steps.
It’s terrible!
"Little educated youth, you can't do this! It's a leisurely time now, and clearing wasteland is tiring for us men. You women are picking up the easier jobs. If it's busy season, when we're rushing to harvest and plant, you'll be crying your heart out."
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said nothing. It’s still early before the busy day comes, so let’s talk about it later!
Lu Dongping sighed as he watched, took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm, and dragged her down the mountain!
"Ah, Lu Dongping, what are you doing?" Wen Wan screamed in fright. She was dragged by his legs and staggered forward. She didn't even dare to look at the road and rushed down the mountainside in one breath.
When they got to the place, Lu Dongping let go of her. She was so scared that her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Look, it just took me a breath of time to get down here. No need to thank me. Let's go back quickly, otherwise it will really get dark."
Wen Wan sat there motionless, hugging her knees, burying her head in them, her body trembling slightly.
Lu Dongping was just about to leave, but he felt something was wrong just as he took a step. He turned his head and saw Wen Wan sitting on the ground with her head buried in her legs, as if she was crying?
No way? Are you scared and crying?
He turned around, walked over, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to poke her shoulder: "Hey! Comrade Wen Wan, aren't we already down the mountain? I was holding you and you didn't fall, why are you crying? If someone sees me, they'll think I'm bullying you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Wan suddenly looked up, a sly smile in her eyes, and reached out to push him hard: "Lu Dongping, you bad guy!"
Lu Dongping didn't expect her to do this suddenly, and he sat down on the ground.
Wen Wan had done something bad and naturally ran away quickly, leaving Lu Dongping with only her back. She ran like a frightened rabbit, but she was not slow at all, completely different from the slow person before.
Lu Dongping lazily sat on the ground and watched her run away. He hissed and laughed with his tongue against his back teeth: "Little thing, you deserve to be punished!"
Lu Minghai was walking at the back. Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Lu Dongping sitting on the ground, grinning foolishly. He frowned and called out, "Dongping, why don't you go home after work? You're such a grown man sitting on the ground. Be careful, your father will see you and hit you with his shoe soles again."
Lu Dongping got up in a flash, brushed the mud off his butt, and walked over with his pickaxe in hand. He put his arm around Lu Minghai's shoulder and said, "Uncle, let's walk together. I want to tell you something."
Lu Minghai slapped him in disgust: "Take your dog paws away and walk properly."
After saying that, he glanced at him and said, "How did you manage to get into the Armed Forces Department as an officer with your sloppy appearance? You're definitely corrupting the good young comrades."
"Old man, you are my uncle, my dear uncle, how can you despise me so much?"
Lu Minghai snorted: "Lu Mingjiang is still your biological father, but he still despises you, even more than I do."
Lu Dongping:——
"Uncle, didn't I just bring back a little educated youth? It's been a few days and you're still so awkward. Isn't it boring?"
Lu Minghai walked along and said, "It would be fine if you didn't mention it. I want to beat you up if you mention it. Tell me, you seem to be reliable in your daily work, so why can't we rely on you for such a small matter? If you could get two male comrades back, everything would be fine, but you brought back a little girl like that, ah, what can she do? She can't do anything and still cries. If I pretend not to see it, the members will complain again. It's okay now, she just got here. If it keeps on like this, she will only earn two points of work every day and she will have to give food to the team when the rations are distributed in December next year. She will cry later!"
Speaking of rations, Lu Dongping suddenly thought of something. The young educated youth had just arrived and had no rations yet. The team would distribute rations in a while, but unfortunately, the young educated youth didn't even have a centimeter, so there was no hope.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, she echoed Lu Minghai's words and said, "Uncle, what are you thinking? There are a total of eight educated youth in the Xihe Brigade, both male and female. Who wants to serve the delicate female educated youth? I brought you two male educated youth. You are really audacious. Besides, male educated youth are easier to manage. Men are more troublesome when they have too many things to do, and it is hard to guard against them. Besides, what's wrong with that little educated youth? Isn't he just a little slow at work and cries when he's not working? He doesn't endure it all the time. He falls and comes to work the next day. Isn't he much better than the two we saw last year?"
Lu Minghai hummed a few times and didn't want to continue: "You just said you wanted to tell me something, what was it?"
