After getting the result he wanted, Lu Zhiye didn't want to stay for a moment. He stood up hastily and said, "I'm going to the grove."
The captain took out a pipe from his waist and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, just go pee if you want to, what are you talking about the grove? It's misleading."
Today's lunch was cabbage, radish, pork slices, and bone soup.
The work of digging a canal is even more strenuous than the autumn harvest.
If I don't have some food in my stomach, I will not only have no strength, but also won't be able to endure the whistling cold wind.
Lunch was made by Wen Sihe. The captain's eyes lit up as soon as he ate it. Wow, the taste of this meal was definitely not made by his wife.
It seems that it was a good decision to agree to let this young educated youth come to help.
Captain Lu remembered that Wen Sihe and Wu Yu came to see him yesterday afternoon and said that he also wanted to see the heroic figures of the rural people engaged in labor.
In addition, they can help with cooking, which will count as half of the work.
The team leader was a little reluctant at first, as many women were scrambling to do the cooking job.
But the female educated youth kept talking and said that they wanted to better integrate into the commune.
The leaders asked them to go to the countryside to support rural construction. They only wanted half of the work points, and the other half was used to improve everyone's food.
In this way, we can not only participate in the labor of the people, but also contribute to everyone.
Captain Lu had to admire this educated man, who spoke in a very coherent manner and could not be refuted.
I had no choice but to agree to them.
Originally, Wen Sihe planned to go alone, but Wu Yu was very curious about this feat of river repair and volunteered to go together.
Many villagers took a bite of the rice and joked with a smile: "Dachuan's mother, this rice is not cooked by you after you eat it."
The captain's wife waved a spoon with it and asked, "What? You can taste it after taking a bite?"
"That's right. Normally when you cook, half of your teeth will fall off."
"That's right, this dish is also very fragrant and delicious!"
Everyone agreed, and the captain's wife felt embarrassed for a moment.
Normally when she cooked, she didn't clean the food thoroughly, so there would easily be some small stones in it. But these two young educated youth cleaned the food over and over again, and were more willing to use more oil and salt when cooking than she was.
At first, the captain’s wife felt a little distressed, fearing that the food they brought would not be enough to eat.
When I learned that half of their wages were divided to subsidize oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
She didn't bother about it.
"Today's meal was prepared by the two female educated youths. If you had known how to eat, you would have known it wasn't made by me after taking a bite!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Yu and Wen Sihe.
Wen Sihe nodded lightly and pulled Wu Yu into the shed.
There was a flash of disappointment in the eyes of several guys.
Alas, the beautiful female educated youth was also very delicious, so why did she leave?
When Lu Zhiye saw this scene, his brows were furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death. He felt annoyed and wondered why this young educated youth had come to join in the fun.
After dinner, the team leader asked everyone to set up the shed.
"Hurry up, take advantage of this break to put up the shed, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night."
Four wooden pieces of wood were nailed to the ground, with a hand-woven straw mat placed on top, and old, patched rags hanging from the top to block the wind.
A simple shed was built in this way.
There were about two hundred people who came to repair the river this time, and about ten of them slept foot to foot in one shed.
They were all quick-witted men who worked quickly, and before long, more than 20 sheds had been built.
Adjacent to Dahe Village is Daba Village. Due to problems with the autumn harvest this year, many villagers did not have enough food at home, and almost all the women and men in the village came to repair the river.
Seeing how quickly Dahe Village was moving, Captain Liu from Daba Village could no longer hold back and shouted, "Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?"
The whistle for the afternoon work blew again, and Captain Lu ran to Zhong Wende and the others and dragged Zhong Muqing over to help Lu Zhiye.
Lu Zhiye spat out the sweet wheat kernels in his mouth and pulled Zhong Muqing to the leftmost side of the river.
"Xiaoqing, just pick up the small stones."
Zhong Muqing's face was full of smiles: "I know, Brother Lu."
Even though Zhong Muqing is only seven years old, he has seen a lot of human nature and is very efficient at his work.
He always kept in mind what his mother said, to work hard and not cause trouble for Brother Lu.
After digging for an hour, Lu Zhiye took out his kettle and poured a cup for Zhong Muqing. When no one was paying attention, he secretly slipped him a White Rabbit milk candy.
Zhong Muqing looked around vigilantly before quickly reaching out to take it.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Lu Zhiye touched his head: "How silly, what are you talking about!"
But even though Zhong Muqing is so polite and lovely, there are people who want to kill him.
"Brother Lu, I'm going to the bathroom."
Lu Zhiye pointed to the stairs over there and said, "Go up to the embankment from there, don't go too far."
Zhong Muqing nodded repeatedly. Lu Zhiye originally wanted him to pee here, but the child said seriously: "There is a difference between men and women!"
Lu Zhiye watched him climb up the embankment with great effort, and then disappear in a flash.
He followed for a few steps with some concern. When he stood in the river, he could vaguely see Zhong Muqing's figure above. Only then did he feel relieved.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it to perk himself up when he heard a flurry of footsteps.
I looked up suddenly and saw Zhong Muqing, who was originally smiling and running towards me along the embankment after using the toilet. His expression suddenly changed and he screamed in pain: "Ah!"
Lu Zhiye's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to break through his skin.
He burst out with unprecedented speed and ran in the direction where Zhong Muqing fell.
The child's screams also attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Oh my god, is that the kid from the bullpen? How did he fall down?"
"Go and see what's going on?"
"Falling from such a height..."
The villagers quickly put down their hoes and went to see what was going on.
Duan Qing's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Zhong Wende didn't care about his wife at this time and rushed towards Zhong Muqing.
