"I'm afraid that won't work. It's not my place to interfere with what the captain has decided." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
Faced with Jiang Xiaohong's request, Zhou Ziwen decisively refused.
For such a matter, let alone the fact that he had no friendship with them.
Even if they had some friendship, he didn't want to ask the captain and Wu Dagang for help.
Although he asked for it, the captain and Wu Dagang would definitely be willing to give him this face.
"Comrade Ziwen, please plead for us! We really can't do that kind of work." Jiang Xiaohong pleaded.
"Comrade Xiaohong, the team leader asked you to work in the pig farm so that you can experience the hard life in the countryside. This is good for your growth." Zhou Ziwen explained patiently.
"Besides, you are all educated youth, here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you even talk about receiving re-education?"
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's words, Jiang Xiaohong and the other educated youth lowered their heads.
By now they had realized that forcing the captain to abdicate in the threshing ground today might be the stupidest thing they had ever done in their lives.
"Comrade Ziwen, we know we were wrong. We will definitely accept re-education in the future. Please plead for us!" Jiang Xiaohong said in a crying voice.
"Yes, Comrade Ziwen, we will work hard in the future and never make those excessive demands again." Another educated youth also pleaded.
Zhou Ziwen looked at them, sighed, and said, "I understand how you feel, but the captain's punishment is for your own good. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how are you going to survive in the countryside in the future?"
"You should go back first. I'll talk to the team leader about this when we go to work tomorrow and see what his attitude is."
Zhou Ziwen didn't say anything definite, but just said he would help ask.
Regardless of whether you can help or not, it’s okay to ask about the situation.
"Comrade Ziwen, thank you, thank you." Jiang Xiaohong and other educated youth said gratefully.
Although Zhou Ziwen did not explicitly agree, it was already good news for them.
"Okay, you guys go back first, I have to go busy too." Zhou Ziwen waved his hand.
"Okay, Comrade Ziwen, we'll go back first. Thank you." Jiang Xiaohong and the other educated youth thanked him again and left Zhou Ziwen's house.
After they left, Zhou Ziwen shook his head and turned back to the kitchen.
"Ziwen, what do those educated youth want from you?" Chen Shiying looked at Zhou Ziwen and asked curiously.
"They want me to talk to the team leader and ask them not to work in the pig farm anymore." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"You didn't agree, did you?" Chen Shiying asked.
"Of course I didn't agree. It's not my place to interfere with the captain's decision." Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
"Also, this is a lesson for them. If they can't even endure this little hardship, how are they going to survive in the countryside in the future?"
"Ziwen, you did the right thing. These educated youth are just too pampered. Unless they suffer a little, they won't understand the hardships of rural life." Chen Shiying said in agreement.
"Yes, I hope this incident will teach them a lesson!" Zhou Ziwen sighed.
The two chatted while busying themselves, and soon dinner was ready.
After dinner, Zhou Ziwen and his family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Little Yueyue was sleeping soundly in Chen Qiaoyi's arms, and a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.
"Hmm? It's raining?"
Suddenly, Zhou Ziwen felt a chill on his head.
He looked up and saw raindrops falling from the sky.
"Yiyi, Shiying, it's raining, let's go back to the house." Zhou Ziwen hurriedly reminded them.
He didn't want his precious daughter to be cold.
"Ah! Why didn't I feel it?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi quickly raised her head.
As soon as she looked up, she felt a chill on her forehead.
"Hurry, Yueyue, let's go into the house." Chen Qiaoyi held little Yueyue and hurried into the house.
"How come the weather changed so suddenly? It was fine just now." Chen Shiying was also a little surprised. She followed Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi into the house.
Zhou Ziwen closed the doors and windows, then took out a thin blanket from the cupboard and covered Yueyue with it.
"Fortunately, spring plowing is now completed. If it were two days earlier, it would have been delayed."
After returning to the house, Zhou Ziwen said with some relief.
"Yes, the weather is really unpredictable, but now that spring plowing is over, it would be good to have some rain to quench the crops." Chen Shiying nodded.
"Well, spring rain is as precious as oil. This rain is good for the growth of crops." Zhou Ziwen agreed with a smile.
"Ziwen, are we still going to work in the production team tomorrow?" Chen Qiaoyi looked at Zhou Ziwen and asked worriedly.
"We definitely have to go, but we don't know if the production team is still working."
Zhou Ziwen answered.
They are from the mushroom group, and they have to go to the mushroom growing base to work regardless of whether it rains or not.
After all, they won't get wet in the rain where they work, unlike working in the fields.
However, if it rains heavily and the members of the production team do not go to work, they can leave work early if they finish the work at hand.
"Well, let's get up tomorrow morning and see what happens." Chen Shiying nodded.
"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
On the side, Chen Qiaoyi was coaxing little Yueyue to sleep.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ziwen found a book and sat on the kang to read it.
After a while, little Yueyue fell asleep on the kang.
Zhou Ziwen looked at Yueyue's peaceful sleeping face, his heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.
Although his life now is simple, it is full of happiness and joy.
He has a beloved wife, a lovely daughter, a stable job, and a group of harmonious neighbors.
He cherishes his current life and hopes to continue to be happy like this.
The next morning, Zhou Ziwen woke up and found that it was still raining outside.
But the rain has become much lighter, just a drizzle.
After getting up, Zhou Ziwen opened the auto-switch panel and took a look.
In the panel, the gun skill has reached the maximum level.
【Gun Skill MAX】
Zhou Ziwen was delighted. The full-level shooting skill meant that he had reached the ultimate level in shooting.
Whether it is a pistol, rifle or shotgun, he can use it with ease and hit the target accurately.
"Looks like I can try my marksmanship when I have some free time."
Speaking of which, he hasn't used it much since he got the turtle box that Wu Dagang gave him.
After all, the turtle box is just for emergency use.
In fact, with his skills, he had no chance to use this thing at all.
After his marksmanship reached the maximum level, he took the skill off the shelf and replaced it with the carving skill.
[Engraving LV5] (60/500)
Although he just went offline, his carving skills have already reached level three.
This is all thanks to the skills of carpenters and stonemasons.
These two skills originally involve certain carving techniques.
However, the improvement of carving skills can also improve carpentry and stonemasonry skills to a certain extent.
It can be said that these three skills complement each other and form a virtuous circle. (End of this chapter)
