Chapter 36 Punishment
Long before, Zhou Ziwen had guessed that the Youth League Institute would be very lively, but he didn't expect it to be so lively.
In order to make room for the incoming educated youth, the vegetables planted in the yard by the old educated youth needed to be processed in advance.
There were a lot of vegetables grown in the two rooms, and they couldn't finish eating them all in a short time.
So the old educated youth came up with an idea: they sold the extra vegetables to other educated youth at a low price.
But during this period, the educated youth suffered a lot of anger from the older educated youth, and they would not buy even if the goods were sold at a low price.
Now, the old educated youth became angry and felt that these educated youth were making things difficult for them.
It was clearly a good thing that was done with good intentions for them to take advantage of, but in the end they didn't appreciate it. How could this not make people angry!
It was already very infuriating that they had collected so many vegetables in advance to make room for the new educated youth who had not yet arrived, but now these educated youth were using the same trick on them.
The old educated youth are angry, and the new educated youth are also unhappy. What’s going on? Why didn’t they think that this day would come when they were making things difficult for us?
Oh, now you think of us when you encounter difficulties and need help?
The two groups disliked each other and started arguing as soon as they disagreed.
Moreover, because of their own interests, both sides refused to give in to each other, and the arguments became more and more fierce, and they started fighting at the first opportunity.
Just as a dispute was about to break out, at the critical moment, Captain Zhou Weiguo arrived with a group of people.
He didn't care about anything else and just wanted to know who the mastermind was.
Looking at Zhou Weiguo's fierce gaze, the educated youth looked at each other, too scared to speak.
Zhou Weiguo had killed enemies before, and the murderous aura on him was no joke. The dogs in the village would run away with their tails between their legs when they saw him.
"What's wrong? Are you all silent? Didn't they have a big quarrel just now? Chen Yang, Liu Lingling, if they don't want to say anything, you guys should say it." Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Weiguo looked at the male and female educated youth team leaders.
Chen Yang and Liu Lingling knew Zhou Weiguo's power better than anyone else, so they did not dare to hide it and hurriedly told him what had happened.
"Okay, I warned you last time, and you're doing it again. Since you don't want to stay in the village, then don't stay. Go to the Youth League Office and report tomorrow!" Zhou Weiguo said with a stern face to the educated youth who were making trouble.
When these words were spoken, the educated youth who led the riot were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
You should know that being sent back to the Youth League Office does not mean being sent back to the city, but to places like farms.
Compared with the production teams in the countryside, the living conditions on the farm are more difficult. Given their physical fitness, they will probably collapse from exhaustion before long.
"No, captain, we know we were wrong. Just punish us, we won't do it again." Several educated youth who were causing trouble quickly admitted their mistakes.
Zhou Weiguo was a man who spoke tough but was soft-hearted. He said he would send them back to the Youth League Office just to scare them, but he had no intention of actually doing so.
To be honest, the things they did haven't reached that level yet.
However, although Zhou Weiguo spared them, he deducted a lot of their work points as punishment.
Their work points were not many to begin with, and now that they have been deducted, their future life will be difficult.
On this side, Zhou Ziwen didn't know what happened in the Youth League Institute. At this moment, he was looking at a withered pine tree not far away with a happy face.
This pine tree is not big, and the thickest part is only as thick as a calf. Even if it is used as firewood, it will not burn for more than a few days.
But for Zhou Ziwen, this was enough. He was very lucky to encounter a dead tree on the first day in the mountains.
Zhou Ziwen didn't delay and took out the axe and started chopping on the spot.
Because the trunk was not big and was already dry, he cut it down without much effort.
"Hehe, with this tree, I don't have to go out to chop firewood for at least ten days."
Zhou Ziwen happily carried the cut pine tree on his shoulders and strode down the mountain.
He didn't go deep into the forest and returned to the foot of the mountain in a few minutes.
"Yiyi, look what I brought back!" Zhou Ziwen shouted to Chen Qiaoyi from a distance.
"Wow! Brother Ziwen, you cut down a tree!" Chen Qiaoyi looked up and saw the tree on Zhou Ziwen's shoulders, and immediately cheered with joy.
"Hehe, I'm lucky. I met him not far away." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"That's great. Having such a big tree will be enough for us to use for a long time." Chen Qiaoyi ran to Zhou Ziwen excitedly with a bright smile on her face.
Seeing the happy expression of the girl in front of him, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but put his arms around her waist and kissed her.
"Oh, Brother Ziwen, don't let anyone see us." Chen Qiaoyi looked around in panic.
Fortunately, the villagers were far away from them and could not see what was happening on their side.
"Hehe, there's no one here!" Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
Before kissing her, Zhou Ziwen observed the surrounding environment. Otherwise, he would not dare to do so even if he had the courage.
"It won't work without someone." Chen Qiaoyi rolled her eyes at him.
But she didn't know that in Zhou Ziwen's eyes, her expression was really tempting.
Fortunately, he also knows when to stop.
It's okay to sneak attack occasionally, but if you keep pestering her, then you'd be a real pervert.
He still understands that there is a long way to go.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Ziwen said casually, and it was obvious from his tone that he was being perfunctory.
Chen Qiaoyi glared at him unhappily, but there was nothing she could do to him.
Who said this guy is her boyfriend!
"Let's go, we should go back. My sister must have prepared dinner at home." Zhou Ziwen said.
The purpose of coming to the mountain today has been achieved, and the task has been completed beyond expectations. There is no need to pick up branches and leaves.
Don’t think that picking up branches and leaves is easy. In fact, it is quite tiring if you do it for a long time.
After all, she needs to bend over all the time, which is something Chen Qiaoyi has trained herself to do during this period of time, otherwise she might not be able to stick to it.
"Yeah, okay." Chen Qiaoyi agreed obediently.
Zhou Ziwen carried his backpack and the pine tree, and walked home with Chen Qiaoyi.
You know what, even though it didn't take long, Chen Qiaoyi had almost filled the backpack.
"Hey, those are bamboos over there! Yiyi, let's go over there and cut some bamboos."
On the way back, Zhou Ziwen suddenly made a discovery.
Nan bamboo is the most suitable for making fishing rods. He originally wanted to find out where to find suitable bamboo, but he didn't expect to find it now.
"Okay!" Chen Qiaoyi didn't care why he wanted to cut bamboo, she agreed and followed him.
Although it is called a bamboo forest, there are actually not many bamboos there, and they are all very small. It is estimated that the big ones have long been cut down and used by the villagers.
Although it is small, it is definitely enough to make a fishing rod.
Arriving at the bamboo forest, Zhou Ziwen cut down a few suitable bamboos.
"Brother Ziwen, let me help you carry it!" Chen Qiaoyi diligently carried the nanmu bamboo he had cut down on her shoulders.
"Okay! My Yiyi is still the most hardworking one." Zhou Ziwen agreed and gave his praise.
"whee!"
Chen Qiaoyi was as happy as a child when she received the praise.
