"Arriving at this late hour, people who don't know us might think we're here for tourism."
Ye Nian'an looked at Lin Xiaojiao with a half-smile: "Lin Xiaojiao, you've already forgotten the pain so quickly after the wound healed?"
"If you feel like you haven't had enough of being beaten up, I can help you a bit more!"
"you?!"
Lin Xiaojiao's expression changed.
I didn't expect Ye Nian'an to have such sharp ears; she heard everything I mumbled.
Then he thought of Ye Nian'an's formidable fighting power yesterday, how he was completely overwhelmed and unable to defeat her, and how he had made a promise to the captain.
He simply turned his head away, not wanting to continue arguing with Ye Nian'an.
Seeing that most of the new educated youth had arrived at the Red Star Brigade, Captain Shi Minghui picked up his tools and walked up from the wheat field.
Wiping the sweat from his brow with the towel hanging around his neck, he said cheerfully, "Is everyone here? Now I'll tell you about the team's next mission."
"May is the peak season for wheat field work. We are responsible for watering, catching insects, and weeding so that the wheat can grow well."
"In June, the harvest will begin. We'll need to go to the threshing floor to clean the wheat, dry the grains, and prepare the land."
"The round trip between the threshing ground and the wheat field is three kilometers. It's hard work, and it's basically done by men, who get more work points."
At this moment, Lin Xiaojiao raised her hand and said, "Captain, I'd like to ask if we can start working now?"
Shi Minghui was taken aback at first, then said, "Now? Of course, we're short-handed right now, like your child..."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zhiqiang, who was being led by Lin Xiaojiao.
“My husband and I are going to work now, team leader. My son is playing over there. He won’t go far, so it won’t bother us.”
"The country asked us to go to the countryside to provide support, so that we could make a contribution. It's already time to go, and now we have to rest for a few days. What kind of logic is that?"
"I'm destined to be a workaholic; I can't settle down. I only know that the more I do, the more I earn. Only by working hard and giving it my all can I make a contribution, benefit my family, and bring happiness to the community!"
Lin Xiaojiao had spent almost the entire night figuring out these words with Wang Xingbang.
It was all to set an example for Shi Minghui, to salvage his image, and to avoid being treated unfairly.
At the same time, these were her heartfelt words.
She was different from those lazy educated youth; she was a good woman who lived frugally and diligently.
Work points are earned only by working, and they are needed to exchange for grain and wages. Otherwise, three days would be a complete waste. How can that be allowed?
Lin Xiaojiao and others volunteered, which did improve Shi Minghui's impression of them a little.
Although they are a restless family, they are at least hardworking and diligent, and are respected in this day and age.
Of all things under heaven, labor is the greatest.
"Alright, welcome. Qin Zhiqing, come over here for a moment and teach these two people a lesson."
"good."
Qin Yunze came over and led Lin Xiaojiao and Wang Xingbang away.
And you?
"us……"
Jiang Nuan and the others hesitated for a moment and glanced at each other.
Since I'm new here, I'd like to rest for a bit and get familiar with the environment.
But Lin Xiaojiao's profound words left them speechless for a moment.
One of the male educated youths, forcing himself to speak, said, "Captain, let's get familiar with the environment first."
"Given our current unfamiliarity with the area, we're actually worried that it might hinder our work, which would be bad."
Shi Minghui didn't insist after hearing this: "Okay, then I'll go get to work. You can move around as you like."
"Whenever you're ready to start work, just come over, and I'll find someone to guide you."
"Oh, right, Captain..."
Ye Nian'an then spoke up: "We'd like to take advantage of this time to repair the house. Where can we get the materials?"
