Chapter 81 I Want to Be a Teacher I
got up so late that the team leader came to my house, so I can forget about having breakfast.
They quickly washed up, locked the door and followed Xiao Dashan.
The educated youth had just arrived and had no idea what kind of work they could accomplish, so Xiao Dashan assigned them relatively easy tasks.
Leading the six people to a wasteland overgrown with weeds, Xiao Dashan pointed at the wasteland and said, "This is three acres of wasteland. You will work in groups of two, one acre per group. Clear away the weeds and gravel, turn the ground deeper, and break up the clods of soil. After you're done, go to the manure pit and bring manure over to fertilize the land. Once you've cleaned it up, you can sow seeds together in the fall, and we can harvest more food."
After Xiao Dashan finished speaking, he left, leaving the six people holding their hoes and looking at each other in confusion.
Leaving now?
The six people thought that Xiao Dashan would ignore them, but unexpectedly, three middle-aged men came after a while.
The three of them didn't say much. They just said that the team leader asked them to come and teach the educated youth how to hoe the fields, and then they went to work with their heads down.
After working for a while, they saw that the educated youth were still standing there stupidly, so the three of them straightened up again and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly! After we teach you, we still have to go back to work!"
Upon hearing this, the six people did not dare to waste any more time, and hurried to the fields in groups of two.
There is no technical content in land reclamation. It is nothing more than turning the soil, throwing out weeds and stones, and then breaking up large clumps of soil.
When they had all learned it, the three men strode away again.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose higher and the sunlight became hotter and hotter. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down my face and my throat became so dry that it seemed like it was smoking.
The six men threw away their hoes and sat on the ground.
It’s too hard! Farm work is so hard!
Cheng Yanhong pouted, looking like she was about to cry, "Do we have to work like this every day in the future?"
She doesn't want to work like this!
She wants to go home!
She had never suffered this kind of torture at home! No one answered her, but the six of them had similar ideas.
After finally getting off work at noon, the six people dragged their tired bodies back to the educated youth site. They wanted to take a shower, but the water in the water tank was empty.
I wanted to boil water for tea, but there were only a few pieces of firewood left in the corner.
Seeing this, Cheng Yanhong couldn't hold it in any longer, and she started crying with her mouth pursed, "I want to go home!"
Maybe she talked too much, or maybe the crying people were upset, a male educated youth yelled at her, "Stop crying! I'm so annoyed! You signed up to go to the countryside to support agriculture, and now you want to go home, what were you doing before?"
They all came to the countryside voluntarily. After just one day here, they said they wanted to go back. How could they save face? Putting aside the issue of face, can they go back if they want to?
After being yelled at by the male educated youth, Cheng Yanhong's crying became much quieter, but she still sobbed non-stop, "I don't want to do farm work, I want to be a teacher! I'm a high school student, I can teach a few kids, I'm going to find the team leader now!"
After saying this, Cheng Yanhong ran out, leaving five educated youth looking at her back with complicated expressions.
The male educated youth who just yelled at Cheng Yanhong was named Li Weiguo. He was the only one among the six educated youth who graduated from high school.
Li Weiguo looked outside with burning eyes, thinking in his heart, if Cheng Yanhong could successfully become a teacher, then he would surely be able to do it too.
