Lu Zhiye had just finished his meal and was sitting there cutting wood when he heard a knock on the door.
He threw the wood into the space casually, and when he opened the door, he saw the captain standing at the door with his old face full of wrinkles like chrysanthemums from smiling.
"Xiao Ye, I heard you finished your work this morning?"
Lu Zhiye nodded: "Yeah!"
The captain reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy! Great!
You see, we have a very heavy workload for autumn harvest recently. Can I give you a piece of land in the afternoon?
You won’t be given less work points!”
Then he looked up at the sky with a worried look on his face and sighed, "I don't know what will happen next!"
Lu Zhiye was too lazy to watch his performance and said in a muffled voice, "Sure!"
Then he thought of the small rash on Wen Sihe's body and added, "Wen Zhiqing's work has been completed, so don't assign him any tasks this afternoon.
After all, the little girl just arrived and can't compare to a grown man like me."
The captain looked at Lu Zhiye in surprise, thinking to himself that this educated youth Wen was indeed the best looking of all the educated youth.
Even his youngest son took a fancy to her.
Could it be that this brat also has a crush on Wen Zhiqing?
Captain Lu subconsciously touched his pipe.
When Lu Zhiye saw his expression, he knew exactly what he meant.
Then he spoke in a cold voice: "I did most of the work in the morning, and she is not enough to hold us back.
Besides, if this delicate educated youth gets sick from exhaustion, she won’t be able to work for several days!"
Captain Lu thought so too.
Hearing Lu Zhiye's disdainful tone again, he immediately understood. He didn't want to be taken advantage of!
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Wen Zhiqing has finished her work for today, let her take a rest!"
Captain Lu walked towards his home with shaking legs.
He held his youngest son's hand and said, "Son, Dad knows you like Wen Zhiqing, but he is an educated youth from the city, and he can't be lifted or carried on the shoulders.
Is she going to have to be served by our entire family in the future?
Just look at how old your parents are and how many years they can work.
I will have to rely on you and your wife for help in the future!"
Lu Yong, who was originally thinking about finding an opportunity to send an egg to Wen Zhiqing, felt a little unwilling when he heard his old father's words and thought of Wen Sihe.
"father!"
The team leader waved his hand to interrupt him: "These new educated youth have just arrived and have never suffered hardship. They are all lively and energetic. But after a few years, the work points they earn are not enough to eat. They all become pale and thin.
Would you still like it?"
When Lu Yong heard this, he suddenly remembered the old educated youth at the educated youth site. He was indeed shocked by her beauty when he first saw her.
Looking back, she was almost the same as the girls in their village.
She’s not even as pretty as the secretary’s daughter!
The thought of Wen Sihe becoming like that made me feel uncomfortable.
The enthusiastic thoughts suddenly cooled down a lot.
He nodded impatiently: "I know!"
The captain also knew that it was impossible for his mind to calm down all of a sudden.
If I said more, I would be blamed, so luckily I just kept my mouth shut.
Lu Zhiye was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
I had a sore back and waist after working all morning, but after drinking a glass of Lingquan water, I felt refreshed.
He always had a bad feeling in his heart.
They were afraid that heavy rain would come, and then many brigades would not only be unable to pay their public grain, but might also suffer from famine.
Lu Zhiye thought he was not a very good person, but during the famine, there were people who sold their children, and even worse...
There was a great famine across the country from 1959 to 1961. He was already seven or eight years old at that time.
Most people in the village actually go to peel the tree bark and eat it.
Some were so hungry that they even ate the dirt on the ground.
I dare not even think about such a difficult year.
Therefore, Lu Zhiye is willing to go to work as long as he has the energy to do so.
I don't want to see food rot in the fields.
When the whistle for work blew in the afternoon, Lu Zhiye followed the educated youth and walked towards the fields.
Seeing Wen Sihe coming out, he couldn't help but frown.
Didn’t the captain tell her?
The team leader felt very sad, thinking that Wen Zhiqing was despised by all the landlords' kids, and he couldn't let his son go down the same path forever.
I rushed home to educate my son and forgot about this matter.
Wen Sihe also saw Lu Zhiye walking behind her, and she quietly slowed down her pace.
Lu Zhiye glanced at her and reminded her in a low voice: "The captain said that you don't have to work in the afternoon, so have a good rest."
Wen Sihe smiled: "Then I'll go back and rest?"
Lu Zhiye ignored her.
Continuing to walk forward, Wen Sihe was already exhausted after working all morning, and her whole body was aching and itchy.
This made her, who had never suffered much hardship since childhood, very uncomfortable.
Now I knew I didn’t have to go to work in the afternoon, so I went back happily, ready to take a bath and have a good sleep.
In addition, she felt that Lu Zhiye's initiative to talk to her and remind her was a good start.
At least you don't reject her anymore, right?
It was another busy afternoon at work. Wen Sihe was not in the field, so the team leader assigned Lu Zhiye a child about 11 or 12 years old to pick wheat.
We usually get off work at six o'clock, but now everyone works until nine o'clock in the evening.
After finally going to the brigade headquarters to get the meal, everyone was so exhausted that they didn't want to move.
No matter whether they were men or women, young or old, they all felt as if they had shed a layer of skin.
Qin Zhiping felt that he had just closed his eyes and had not yet fallen asleep when the bell for work rang.
Zhou Guoliang was shouting in the yard that it was time to go to work.
Wen Sihe took out his Plum brand watch from his backpack and saw that it was only four o'clock in the morning.
The new educated youth came out in droves.
