Ning Xiyue's words really touched the captain's heart, making him so happy that he kept saying several good words, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with joy.
Next, the team leader assigned tasks for the new educated youth to work on tomorrow. Ning Xiyue was assigned to an easy group, the drying group, which specialized in drying grain on the dam. It was the easiest job among all the educated youth. The other educated youth looked at Ning Xiyue with envy, especially the older educated youth who knew the situation were even more envious.
The veteran educated youth all knew that the drying group was the easiest part of the team, with good work points. All they had to do was dry the grain on the dam, turn it over occasionally, and collect it on time, earning seven work points a day. Furthermore, only members of the team could enter the drying group, so it was impossible for the educated youth to get in.
Although other jobs pay more work points, they are tiring, especially during the autumn harvest. The work is heavy and the weather is hot. It is hot and tiring. After an autumn harvest, people become dark and thin. For those who have never experienced it before, it feels like they have lost half their lives.
However, they could only envy and dared not say anything, nor did they dare to ask for anything. After all, they did not receive any certificates or letters of commendation. Most importantly, they did not dare to question what the captain said. No one in the team had any objection, let alone them, so they dared not say anything.
The captain’s favorite person now is none other than Ning Zhiqing.
Ning Xiyue calmly accepted the envious looks from the educated youth. This was something she had earned through her own ability, so she was not afraid of anyone seeing or talking about it.
It won't hurt to take a look, and her job will still be hers.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. Everyone should go to work if they need to, and do whatever they need to do. New educated youth should quickly finish their tasks today and return to their respective groups to start work as normal tomorrow. The meeting is adjourned."
After the captain finished speaking, the members left the dam one after another.
Ning Xiaoxiao originally wanted to find the captain, but after Ning Xiyue won the award, there was also someone she was afraid of, so she didn't dare to go over to the captain to cause trouble. While the crowd was trying to leave, she didn't even pretend to have a limp.
Chen Yechu, who was just coming down from the stage, saw Ning Xiaoxiao's expression and shouted loudly, seemingly unintentionally: "Xiaoxiao, your feet don't hurt anymore?"
This shout successfully attracted the attention of the surroundings to Ning Xiaoxiao's feet.
A young male member nearby looked at Ning Xiaoxiao curiously: "Hey, Ning Zhiqing, your limp isn't gone? How did it heal so quickly? Didn't you still need to ask the team leader for leave?"
"Well, my feet don't hurt anymore. The autumn harvest is the most important thing now, so I won't waste time asking for leave."
Ning Xiaoxiao smiled softly, but she was very impatient with the male members in her heart. She just wanted to leave here. Why were they surrounding her? If she went to ask the captain for leave now, she would only be scolded.
An older woman nearby laughed mockingly and said, "I think Ning Zhiqing has an intermittent limp, haha."
He even wanted to ask for leave and not go to work. These educated youth have so many things to do. Just now, he was openly and secretly slandering the new educated youth Ning, as if no one could hear it. Now that he sees someone else has won the award, he doesn't dare to look for the team leader.
"Perhaps Ning Xiaoxiao, the educated youth, wants to learn how to limp so that she can blackmail others in the future."
Ning Xiyue, who loved to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble, said this in a muffled voice in the crowd, then turned around and moved to another place to continue watching.
An unknown aunt in the crowd heard what Ning Xiyue had just said and said, "Could it be that Ning Xiaoxiao was imitating Li Bozi's walk just now?"
"No..." Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head in panic and wanted to leave quickly, but she couldn't move away in the crowd.
Li Bozi, who was walking slowly in front, was shot innocently. What he hated most was being imitated by others. When he heard that someone was imitating him, he turned around and looked at Ning Xiaoxiao fiercely, "Bah, you little bitch, do you want to be beaten?"
Li Bozi even wanted to rush over and hit someone, but was stopped in time by the onlookers.
The captain, who had been hoping to chat with the comrades from the Public Security Bureau, frowned when he heard the commotion below and shouted, "What are you doing? What are you all doing gathered there? You don't want to work all day, don't want to get your rations, don't want to eat? Ah."
Seeing the captain getting angry, the members of the team quickly distanced themselves from the matter and pointed at Ning Xiaoxiao and said loudly: "Captain, it was Ning Zhiqing who wanted to ask you for leave. She said her feet hurt."
Zhang Dawei asked impatiently: "Why ask for leave? What's wrong with your foot?"
"Captain, I won't ask for leave. My foot is fine. I'll go to work right away." Ning Xiaoxiao blinked her innocent big eyes and looked at the captain weakly.
However, this trick of hers had no effect on the rough Zhang Dawei. Instead, it made Zhang Dawei feel even more disgusted.
Li Bozi suddenly howled, "Captain, she was limping when she came here just now, but now she's not lame anymore. She must be trying to imitate me. Captain, you have to make the decision for me!!"
"That's enough, stop howling." Zhang Dawei glanced at Li Bozi, and Li Bozi fell silent. After the scene quieted down, Zhang Dawei looked at Ning Xiaoxiao coldly: "What's wrong with your foot? Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn't. What are you trying to do?"
The lackey Wu Zhigang stood up and said on Ning Xiaoxiao's behalf, "Captain, Xiaoxiao's foot was pricked with needles. It was the new educated youths Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu who pricked it last night."
"Hmm?" Comrade Ji, who had walked here at some point, looked at Wu Zhigang with emotionless eyes, cold and sharp, as if he was looking at an enemy on the battlefield, and asked in confusion.
Wu Zhigang received this look and was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. Then he remembered that Ning Xiyue had just received a certificate of merit from the police. If he said that Ning Xiyue hit someone with a brick and stabbed her foot, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the police? The other people in the Youth League were just watching and would not stand on Xiaoxiao's side to help intercede, so he stammered and changed his words:
