Chapter 39: Slap in the face

The seven captains shouted the name together, each one louder than the last, as if they were competing.

If you don't listen carefully, you might miss your own name.

Xu Lin listened carefully for a while while guarding her two big bags, and finally heard her own name.

"Xu Lin, Xu Lin." Wang Facai, the captain of Wangzhuang Brigade, called out to them while his eyes swept through the team of educated youth like lightning.

When Wang Facai saw Xu Lin appearing with two big bags, his expression froze and he wondered if this little girl had grown up.

He couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Xu Lin, how old are you? Are you an adult? Why did your parents bear to let you go to the countryside?"

"Captain, I am an adult at the age of sixteen. Although I am not big enough to do heavy work, I can cut grass for pigs."

That serious little expression made Wang Facai's expression even stiffer. Cutting grass for pigs is a child's job.

Only three work points a day are not enough to support an adult.

Wang Facai smacked his lips, then looked at Xu Lin's clothes and finally his eyes fell on Xu Lin's exposed watch.

Very good, you are well dressed, everything is new from head to toe, and you even have a watch, so you should be well-funded.

It's good as long as you have enough money. If you have enough money, you can buy your own food, which is fine.

Wang Facai was a man of insight. As the educated youth stayed in the countryside for longer, he became more and more tolerant towards them.

As long as no one reported it, he had no objection if the educated youth did not work in the fields.

Well, as long as the educated youth don't cause trouble, he will be satisfied.

I hope the educated youth can help him realize this modest request.

The people had come, and even though they didn't look capable, Wang Facai didn't show any disdain or make any click of the tongue.

Instead, he said in a gentle voice, "Put your luggage on the bullock cart and wait beside it."

"Okay, captain." Xu Lin smiled and walked towards the ox cart behind Wang Facai.

The male educated youth who was called first saw that she was petite and hurried forward to help.

Xu Lin was not polite either. After politely thanking him, she stood not far from the male educated youth, waiting for Wang Facai to continue calling his name.

It was just the next name that made Xu Lin's expression very interesting. How should I put it? I can only say it was fate, it was indescribable.

Who would have thought that the 33 educated youth were divided into seven teams, and in the end Xu Lin was actually assigned to the same team as Qin Fang.

This time, Wangzhuang Brigade was assigned five educated youths, three men and two women, namely Xu Lin, Zhang Qiang, Han Hong, Qin Fang and Dan Fei.

Su Liang was assigned to the neighboring Hanying Brigade.

Before all the names were called, Su Liang shouted first, strongly requesting to change teams. He wanted to be assigned to the same team as Qin Fang.

He also has to take care of Qin Fang. How can he take care of her if they are not separated?

Han Liang, the captain of the Hanying Battalion, was interrupted when his roll call was called. His already dark face became even darker, and he looked at Su Liang with dissatisfaction.

"Su Liang, educated youth, if you have anything to say, can you wait until I finish calling the names?"

The tone of accusation made Su Liang frown. He was the eldest son of the Su family.

From childhood to adulthood, I have always agreed with what he said, but this is the first time someone has spoken to me in this tone and with this kind of eyes.

Su Liang, who was angry, also frowned and said coldly: "No, I want to go to Wangzhuang Brigade, you arrange for my transfer first."

Captain Han was furious. These educated youth had no real ability, but their words were louder than the others.

Each one is more noisy than the other. Look at their arrogant little looks, it’s really unpleasant to look at.

He didn't want to come to the Korean camp, but he wanted it.

"Okay, okay, if you want to go to Wangzhuang Brigade, then go and discuss it with Captain Wang. If he wants to recruit you, then you can go."

Captain Han waved his hands as if he was chasing away a fly, looking unwilling to say more, which made Su Liang very angry again.

"Let's go." Su Liang snorted, rushed to Wang Facai in a few steps, and said bluntly:

"Captain Wang, I want to come to your brigade."

"No, the number of people in each team has been agreed upon. I can't take one more person back.

Besides, you should obey the arrangement."

Wang Facai shook his head and disagreed. It was obvious that this young man came from a bad family and he didn't want him.

"There can't be too many people, so I'll just switch with someone else." Su Liang asked, staring at Wang Facai sharply with a hint of hostility.

That look made Wang Facai feel a chill down his spine, and the words that Lu Changqing had told Captain Han echoed in his mind.

At that time, Lu Changqing said that Su Liang had a very powerful background, and asked Han Liang to take good care of him and not to offend him.

But looking at the way that old guy Han Liang behaves, haha, that old guy doesn't want to take Su Liang back at all.

It is true that old people are cunning and old horses are slippery. An old rabbit is hard to catch by an eagle. That bastard Han Liang is trying to get rid of the burden.

After taking the roll call, Captain Han received a death stare, then turned around and gave Wang Facai a smug look, which made Wang Facai so angry that he almost jumped to his feet.

As for Su Liang, he was still very determined to take care of Qin Fang. He took action before Wang Facai expressed his opinion.

Su Liang came up to Xu Lin and the other three and first glared at Xu Lin fiercely, then he looked at Zhang Qiang, Han Hong and the three people who went solo.

Although the clothes Zhang Qiang was wearing were not brand new, it was obvious that they had only been worn a few times, and he was wearing a watch on his wrist.

Judging from the way he's dressed, Zhang Qiang should be a wealthy man.

Looking at Han Hong again, this kid had a rebellious aura, and Su Liang smelled the same aura.

Su Liang was sure that Han Hong's family background was not simple, and it would be difficult to deal with this person with money.

In order to avoid being slapped in the face, Su Liang turned his attention to flying solo.

Well, this guy looks like a poor guy. There are many patches on his clothes, making him look like a beggar.

If the family had some money, they wouldn't travel in such a shabby way.

After determining the target, Su Liang took out five yuan from his pocket, walked up to Danfei and said coolly:

"Switch squads with me and this will be yours."

Dan Fei, who was worried about his empty pockets, had a gleam in his eyes, but he did not rush to agree. Instead, he frowned and said:

“No.”

"Why?" Su Liang asked, with a little flame flickering in his eyes.

"I don't want to be a beggar." Shan Fei rolled his eyes and replied. Han Hong, who was standing next to him, burst out laughing.

Xu Lin and Zhang Qiang also looked like they were watching a show, especially Xu Lin, whose eyes clearly said, "That's it? That's it?"

Su Liang, who didn't want to be laughed at, gritted his teeth in hatred. He didn't expect that this poor guy Danfei would be so greedy.

Is five dollars too little?

He glared at Xu Lin again. Su Liang felt that it was Xu Lin who caused the current situation between him and Qin Fang.

If Xu Lin hadn't caused trouble, nothing would have happened to the Xu family. If nothing had happened to the Xu family, Qin Fang's life story would not have been exposed.

But his provocation was soon slapped in the face.

Xu Lin pulled out a thick stack of dough from his pocket and swung it in his hands. Although he didn't say a word, his face was slapped with a loud sound.

Su Liang could feel his face was red and swollen.
