Zhang Yuan, who had watched the whole process, breathed a sigh of relief. This new female educated youth was really capable of making trouble. He had never seen anyone like her before.
Zhang Yuan was relieved here, but the soft-hearted captain's day of suffering began.
Li Min was assigned to pull weeds. Not only did she pull out the corn seedlings as weeds, she also complained that the weeds were too prickly.
Arranged to water the crops, he almost drowned the crops with one gourd scoop, and he thought the gourd scoop was too heavy.
Finally, she was assigned to cut pig grass, which was even worse. She didn't know what pig grass was. After much difficulty teaching her, she still complained that the weeds would cut her palms.
This made the team leader completely angry. "You are here to build the countryside, so you have to work. Women can hold up half the sky now. Not fearing hardship and fatigue is a good quality. You are not willing to do the hard work like this."
After scolding the person, they are directly assigned back to their original job. They are not allowed to rest until the work is finished!
But this time, she was not assigned to the same team as Zhang Yuan, but was assigned to an aunt who was good at talking.
Originally, Li Min wanted to cry and act coquettishly, but was suppressed by the aunt. As soon as she opened her mouth, the aunt had a hundred words waiting for her. As a result, she did not dare to complain anymore and worked hard while wiping her tears.
The team leader at the back nodded with satisfaction when he saw that his strategy had worked. She was indeed an expert at training girls as she was able to control her four daughters-in-law.
The remaining two newcomers were relatively well-behaved. Although Chen Meizhi had her own little thoughts, she was used to working at home. Although she was not familiar with farm work, she could persevere by gritting her teeth. Moreover, she was also very aware of the current situation. Since she came to the countryside, she could not escape working.
Although Xia Tiangao had never done any work, he was a boy after all. He had a physique and some strength, and he was also smart. He learned it once and got the hang of it quickly.
After the wheat is harvested, the work schedule during the day is not so tight, and I can come back and rest for an hour and a half at noon.
The four new recruits were all assigned to different teams and had no experience. They had a falling out with the old educated youth on the first day, and no one reminded them.
So on the first morning, when I came back from work, I was hungry.
They originally used the stove at Lin Zuxin's side. Lin Zuxin had also finished work, so first come first served. If they wanted to use it, they had to queue up.
Li Min's temper, suppressed by Aunt Wang all morning, exploded again, pointing at Chen Meizhi, "What's wrong with you? You knew we needed to eat, but why didn't you come back earlier to cook? You made us starve with you."
She didn't dare to cause trouble for the old educated youth again, nor did she dare to confront the two boys, so Chen Meizhi became the best vent.
Chen Meizhi felt wronged. Although she was the only one who could cook among the four of them, she had worked hard all morning and her hands were still sore. But Li Min was also a human being. She knew she was hungry but didn't come back to cook for herself? Did she deserve to be the housekeeper?
But I can't say that, secretly gritted my teeth and said with my head down,
"I was the one who cooked last night. It's our turn, so I thought... I thought..." He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was made clear.
The two boys next to them also looked a little uncomfortable when they heard this. At home, their mothers cooked for them and they were used to eating ready-made food. But now they have gone to the countryside, and they have no relatives or friends there, so no one is required to cook for them.
Li Min was not satisfied. How could she cook? "Why? You should take the initiative to cook even though you know I can't cook."
Xia Tiangao couldn't listen any longer. "We were supposed to fire together, but these things have to be done in turns. Yesterday, Chen Zhiqing did it, so today, Zhao Xin and I will do it. Li Zhiqing, if you don't want to, you can fire alone."
Chen Meizhi looked at him gratefully.
Li Min refused to do it. This would throw him out. "Why should I fire alone?"
"If we move out at that time, we will all have to fight alone. It's only a matter of time."
"But now I don't have any. You can't leave me behind."
"Okay, from now on, we'll split into two groups. Zhao Xin and I will be in one group, and you and Chen Zhiqing will be in the other." Xia Tiangao didn't want to continue chatting with her. Seeing that Lin Zuxin's stove was empty, he immediately followed Zhao Xin over.
Li Min and Chen Meizhi were left behind. Li Min was quite satisfied with this proposal. Since she couldn't cook anyway, she could just let Chen Meizhi do it.
Chen Meizhi felt uncomfortable. She could imagine that from now on, she would have to do all the work for two people.
Chen Meizhi lowered her head, her eyes hidden by her bangs looking gloomy. After a while, she raised her head and returned to her usual attitude of trying to please Li Min.
