"I put a little more because I saw how hard they were working," Zhou Yumei said guiltily.
"Do you think I'm blind? The amount in the pot is not even as much as the amount in the morning. Not only did I give it to you, but you actually kept it for yourself!" Liu Yue roared.
"No, no, I swear I didn't hide anything, it's just...it's just that I couldn't help it and moved my chopsticks first." Zhou Yumei's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Liu Yue was so angry that she picked up the fire poker on the ground and rushed towards Zhou Yumei.
Zhou Yumei was not stupid, so she naturally wouldn't wait to be beaten, so she ran out of the kitchen.
Xu Erhua had always thought that Liu Yue, who only used dirty tricks, would never hit anyone. Now it seemed that Tingyun was right: even rabbits bite when they are angry, and Liu Yue would be the same.
Li Tingyun covered his mouth and laughed in the room, then entered the space, made himself a cup of milk, drank the milk and came out to sleep.
There was no way around it. Liu Yue lived alone in a room, and who knew if she would come out for a stroll at night? If she found out I wasn't in the room, there would be a lot of trouble.
That night, Zhou Yumei's back was beaten very painfully, but she accepted it. As long as she was not hungry, she could be beaten. After all, she had thick skin and would not die from a few hits.
After the fight, Liu Yue returned to her room and cried sadly again, crying about her bad luck and the fact that she lost several kilograms of noodles in one day, which she had bought with her own money.
…
The next morning, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua got up early and left quickly after breakfast.
Zhou Yumei made Liu Yue angry last night. She came over early in the morning to say nice things, snatched the washbasin from Liu Yue's hand, and planned to get water for her to wash her face.
Liu Yue was still angry and snatched the washbasin away. She thought that if all else failed, she could ask Tang Cheng and the others to share the meal, but when she thought of those two fierce women, Yu Zhenzhen and Qin Shuixiang, she had to give up this idea.
However, from today on, she planned to live her own life. She couldn't let Zhou Yumei take advantage of her anymore.
However, when she walked to the water tank and saw that it was empty, she had to give up the idea.
To fetch water, she had to go to the river or the well in the middle of the village. No matter which place she went to, the distance was not too close, and her small shoulders could not carry the load at all.
There was also firewood in the yard, which she didn't expect to last long. Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua would definitely not let her take advantage of them. When the time came, she would have to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and she didn't want to get her delicate shoulders peeled.
After much thought, she realized that she couldn't leave this stupid pig for the time being, so she could only say angrily: "The water tank is empty, why don't you go and fetch some water!"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll go right away, right away!" Although Zhou Yumei couldn't do anything flexible, she could definitely carry water and chop firewood with her brute force.
Seeing Liu Yue ordering her around, she knew that breakfast was secured, so she ran out with the kitchen bucket.
In the room, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua held a bowl against the door and eavesdropped. After Zhou Yumei ran out, they returned to sit on the stool.
"I didn't expect Liu Yue to calm down so quickly." Xu Erhua still thought Liu Yue had a good temper.
"Hmph, you think too much." Li Tingyun saw it clearly.
Xu Erhua waited for Li Tingyun to speak in confusion.
"Liu Yue is not angry, but she needs labor. Think about it, the water tank is empty and needs to be carried, and there is not much firewood left, so she has to go to the mountain to chop it. How could she, who wants to climb up the ladder, be willing to put her own shoulders in jeopardy?" Li Tingyun analyzed the situation carefully with Xu Erhua.
After listening to this, Xu Erhua nodded repeatedly and found that Tingyun was really smart and could see all these things. She would learn more from her in the future.
Li Tingyun saw that the water in the jar was almost empty, so when he came in just now, he brought in all the dishwashing water. After eating, he washed the dishes, poured the water out the window, cleaned up, and went out with the basket on his back.
When they went out, Liu Yue and Zhou Yumei were still eating breakfast in the kitchen.
The two of them went to Xiaozhuang's house first. Li Tingyun put twenty kilograms of rice in the backpack and went to Xiaozhuang's house to give the rice to Xiaozhuang's grandmother.
Grandma Xiaozhuang was unwilling to accept it, so Li Tingyun said he would not accept it and would not come over for dinner in the evening. Only then did Grandma Xiaozhuang accept it.
When they left Xiaozhuang's house, they returned to the educated youth site and went to the fields after being called.
Because we are in a hurry to harvest these days, the gathering point is in the field.
During the rush harvest, the team leaders would arrive a little earlier than the team members, and the team leader would assign them the tasks first. After the team members arrived and shouted slogans, the team leaders would lead everyone into action.
Today's task is heavier than yesterday's. In order to complete the task better, Xiao Zhuang's mother decided to assign eight people to harvest the rice and two people to collect the harvested rice.
Xu Erhua is slow at harvesting rice, but she is quite flexible in doing other things. She and an older woman do this job together.
Li Tingyun was still a novice yesterday morning and the task was too heavy, so Xiao Zhuang's mother could only use him as a veteran.
When the other teams saw Xiao Zhuang’s mother doing this, they followed suit.
Tang Cheng thought this was a good idea. At least Liu Yue didn't have to use a sickle, so he let Liu Yue and another female comrade be responsible for harvesting the rice.
This made two jealous people angry again.
"No, why let her harvest rice? She's a newcomer and she shouldn't learn a lot." Qin Shuixiang said sarcastically. They used to treat newcomers like this, so why should Liu Yue be an exception?
"That's right, newcomers have to learn more. You go and harvest the rice, and give the sickle to Liu Yue." Yu Zhenzhen directly snatched the sickle from a female comrade next to her and threw it in front of Liu Yue.
Tang Cheng was so angry that his eyes were blazing. He pointed at the two men and cursed, "Do you still want to give three work points each like yesterday? If you keep going like this, we won't even have enough soup when the meat is distributed at the end of the year!"
After hearing this, how could Yu Zhenzhen and Qin Shuixiang dare to say anything else?
The happiest time is when the brigade distributes pork at the end of the year, and everyone wants to get more.
These words really worked. Yu Zhenzhen and Qin Shuixiang became really honest and worked hard all morning without causing any trouble.
Tang Cheng lowered his head, smiled coldly, and muttered, "I can't deal with you idiots!"
Liu Yue originally thought that it would be much easier without having to hold a sickle, but when she went to harvest the rice, she found that there was no such thing as easy work.
After moving rice back and forth for a whole morning, my back was almost unable to straighten up.
On the other side, Xu Erhua and Li Tingyun were also tired, but with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, they were much stronger than the new educated youth.
The old branch secretary, the team leader, and the village chief saw all of this, and they all looked at these two hardworking young educated youth with a different eye.
At noon, Xiaozhuang came with a basket to deliver food. Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua had lunch with the mother and son.
Many people know that Li Tingyun saved Xiaozhuang’s grandmother’s niece. It is not surprising that Xiaozhuang’s family treats them well.
Liu Yue was sitting there eating pickled vegetable porridge. Seeing Li Tingyun and the others having a hot meal at noon, she felt extremely jealous.
However, she also thought of a way to have a hot meal.
