Chapter 499 The Life of a Cannon Fodder in the 1960s (13)



Normally, farms would pay educated youth they took in, but since they were sent there because they had made a mistake, they didn't receive any wages. They weren't being discriminated against; they were just lucky.

Tang Baozhu wondered if she could send everyone to the farm as educated youth after the demons in the village were eliminated.

After all, although the educated youth on the farm were quite tired, they were also quite tired when they went to the countryside. Even if they did ten work points a day, they could only get eight work points.

These educated youths have shown great perseverance to have persisted for so many years. If they were to go to a farm, they would probably adapt very quickly.

It's just a little tiring, but it's tiring no matter where you are. At least the farm pays twenty or thirty yuan a month, which is much better than what I'm doing now.

At that point, everyone will be considered a victim, and those in power will certainly listen to their opinions when it comes to comforting these victims.

Anyway, it's absolutely impossible to send them back, since there are just too many of them. But if we set a condition that they go to the farm, it doesn't seem like it's impossible.

Tang Baozhu was lost in thought when she spotted the cowshed in the distance. She quickly focused her attention and prepared to take a closer look at the situation there.

Not far below the cowshed was a gentle slope where many people who had been sent down to farms worked, growing their own food.

The villagers didn't care about them at all, but when the higher-ups had to do tasks and send them to criticize and denounce others, they would inevitably get a beating. Otherwise, nobody paid any attention to them.

That's why they were able to live for so many years without dying. It wasn't that those people had a conscience; they just felt they couldn't squeeze any money out of them, so they didn't focus their attention on them and instead concentrated on dealing with the educated youth.

Looking at the gentle slope next to the cowshed, where about a dozen people were working, Tang Baozhu quickly scanned the area with her divine sense and soon saw the strong man from her memory, the one the little girl couldn't forget.

Looking at his face, you can tell that if he can break out of this trough, his future is limitless. However, breaking out of a trough is not easy. At least he never did in his previous life, and he only lived a few years longer than the little girl.

As for his appearance, he truly had the air of a scholar. Even in his misfortune, he still exuded the aura of a scholar. He was quite handsome, but his physique didn't resemble that of a scholar; rather, he looked like someone who had served in the military.

Judging from his appearance, it's clear that this wasn't something he developed overnight. It's likely that someone in his family was in the military, and he received training from a young age, but he didn't follow the path of joining the army.

I heard he's been down here for 4 or 5 years. When he first came down, he was only about 23 or 24 years old. Apart from being noticeably silent, there was nothing else about him.

I don't know why, a few years later, he suddenly couldn't think straight and let himself be tortured to death without resisting.

Su Rui'an was doing farm work when he suddenly felt like he was being watched. He quickly looked around but found no one watching him.

He could only lower his head and pretend to work hard. He didn't know who was watching him, but he knew he had to be careful during this time, lest he be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Tang Baozhu was surprised to see that he was quite perceptive. It seemed that he was one of those people with naturally strong mental strength, and such people are often particularly intelligent.

While others might need to read a text ten times to memorize it, someone with his strong mental fortitude and exceptional sharpness can remember it after just one reading.

Then, recalling what the young girl remembered about his job, he was a professor at a research institute before he was sent down to the countryside. He must have had a lot of knowledge to become a professor at such a young age.

Therefore, it's understandable that he has strong mental strength.

After Tang Baozhu finished looking, she quickly withdrew her divine sense. Now that she had seen his appearance, there was no need to keep staring at him, lest she frighten a scholar.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with his appearance. In addition, he didn't want to die a miserable death in this place a few years later, so he planned to make a tentative contact with him. If it worked out, he would choose him.

Although there is a significant age difference between the two, I don't know if it's because he works hard and therefore appears older, or if he is simply older to begin with, but I don't really mind that.

After all, if she really minded, he might be a young man under 30, while she was an old maid hundreds of thousands of years old. In terms of taking advantage, she would be the one who would benefit.

So she thought about the age difference a lot, and the idea of ​​an older man marrying a younger woman seemed pretty good.

Now that she knew what the burly man looked like, she should think about how to get closer to him.

After going up the mountain with the educated youth, I saw that everyone was busy collecting firewood, and no one showed any sign of slacking off.

The female educated youth picked wild vegetables, while the male educated youth chopped firewood; their division of labor and cooperation were remarkably smooth.

Tang Baozhu followed the female educated youth and busied herself with the task. Seeing how many wild vegetables they picked, she knew they were probably drying them or making pickles.

It seems their lives are even more difficult than I imagined. They are quite strong and able to endure it, without bowing to reality and giving in to those petty people's wishes to marry into the village.

Occasionally, Tang Baozhu would leave the crowd and secretly eat something on the side, but she wouldn't go far. After all, she knew that the educated youth were particularly sensitive, and if even one of them left, they would worry that something had happened.

Tang Baozhu's spiritual sense was exceptionally convenient. Once she found particularly tender wild vegetables, she would immediately begin harvesting them. When her basket was full, she would quickly go to the side to find the vines used for weaving baskets.

In less than two hours, almost everyone's baskets were filled with wild vegetables. Then the male educated youth began to bundle all the dry wood they had cut down into bundles, so that it would be easier to carry it back later.

Of the five new educated youth, Tang Baozhu was particularly familiar with the work and worked very efficiently because of her experience. The others weren't lazy either; although they were a bit slower, they were also learning gradually.

Everyone worked together with one heart, striving for a better future. It felt quite comforting to see everyone working together.

The last male educated youth carried a load of firewood on his shoulder, while the women carried a full basket of wild vegetables on their backs, and they prepared to go back.

On the way back, when passing by the cowshed, Tang Baozhu didn't look inside. She was worried that if she looked inside, the burly man would easily discover that someone in her group was watching him. If he knew that, it would be very difficult for her to get close to him.
