Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
The youngest among you must be at least 20 years old, and the oldest looks to be at least 30 years old. How dare you cry?
Li Xu and others were very helpless, "We are all grown men, why are you crying? Hurry and wipe your tears."
Hearing this, they probably felt embarrassed and quickly wiped their tears with the back of their hands. "I couldn't help it for a moment. I made you laugh. Let's go back."
Seeing that they had difficulty walking, Liu Gang and others had no choice but to support them.
After they walked for a while, someone grunted and said, "Brothers, could you please not tell anyone about what just happened?"
"Yes, yes, yes. As long as you don't tell anyone, we'll treat you to dinner at a high-end restaurant in a few days." The others quickly agreed.
Master Duan teased, "Oh, now you know you're embarrassed. Why didn't you think of that when you were crying just now?"
After hearing this, several people blushed and didn't know what to say.
Master Qi said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will definitely not spread rumors. As for the meal, let's forget about it."
"No, this meal must be treated."
"Forget it. There are so many of us. A meal here will cost a lot of money. Maybe even if you put in all your subsidies, it still won't be enough."
When they mentioned this, they immediately became excited. "How much is the subsidy? To be honest, if it means we don't have to do farm work, we can even give the institute one dollar a day. Don't refuse it. A meal is nothing to us. We can afford it."
Now Li Xu realized that they were all not short of money.
He speaks so proudly.
Liu Gang and the others looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Alright, if we don't eat, I guess you won't be at peace either. Let's go after we finish our farm work."
Seeing that they agreed, several people cheered happily, "Okay, okay, then it's a deal."
In this way, everyone walked and chatted, and it took two hours to return to the county town.
Seeing Li Xu coming home, Sun Xiu hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xu, why are you back so late?"
"Working in the countryside takes some time when I return, otherwise I can get home half an hour earlier."
Sun Xiu suddenly exclaimed, "You went to the countryside too?"
"Also?" Li Xu was startled. "Is there anyone in our family who has gone to the countryside?"
"And your father hasn't come back yet."
Li Xu was puzzled. "Dad is a frontline worker, why would he be sent to the countryside?"
Generally speaking, people who go to the countryside are selected based on their job positions.
Some positions cannot be separated from people, so naturally people in these positions cannot be allowed to go to the countryside.
Just like no matter how idle the supply and marketing staff are, they will not be allowed to go, and they can only pick people from the logistics department.
Li Jiakang is a front-line worker, working on the production line in the workshop. Why would he be allowed to go?
Li Ping explained helplessly, "Our hemp spinning factory needs to select 40 people to go to the countryside, but other departments simply can't find enough people. In the end, we had no choice but to select people from the workshop, and our father was one of them."
Li Xu: ...
The number of workers in the hemp spinning factory is much greater than that in the supply and marketing cooperative, so naturally there are more people going to the countryside.
I just didn’t expect to pick Li Jiakang among so many people.
This is also quite unlucky.
After a moment of silence, he said, "How about I eat first? I'm so hungry that I can't walk."
He eats rice for lunch every day, but he didn't expect this to happen today.
In order to prevent other people from having any ideas, he gave half of the rice to Liu Gang in advance.
This resulted in him not having a full meal at noon and his stomach growling with hunger in the afternoon.
"Yes, you've been tired all day and must be hungry. Have a drink of water first and I'll bring the food."
Sun Xiu slapped his forehead and walked quickly to the kitchen.
After a while, she came in with food and said, "Eat quickly."
After answering, Li Xu started to eat voraciously.
Halfway through the meal, Li Jiakang came back and started eating without saying a word.
After eating, Li Jiakang touched his belly and said with a tired face, "I haven't done farm work in so many years. I am really exhausted today."
Li Xu jokingly asked, "Then are you still good at using a sickle?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jiakang calmly put his left hand behind his back and said confidently, "That's true. I use a sickle more skillfully than chopsticks. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."
"That's true. Your father used to be good at farm work and he was very good at using a sickle." Sun Xiu echoed.
Li Ping suddenly laughed, "You said that was in the past, but it may not be the case now."
"What do you mean? You don't believe me?" Li Jiakang was immediately unhappy.
"Stretch out your left hand for us to see. If there are no wounds on it, we will believe it."
Li Ping saw all of Li Jiakang's actions just now.
It doesn't take a second to figure out why he would do this if he didn't have an injury on his hand.
Although Li Xu didn't see it, he knew that Li Ping would not say such a thing casually, so he excitedly agreed, "Yes, stretch out your left hand and let's see."
Li Jiakang not only didn't stretch out his left hand, but instead pretended to be angry and said, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I smell of sweat. I'm going to take a shower first."
Then he quickly stood up and walked out.
No matter how you look at it, that figure looks like someone is fleeing in panic.
Sun Xiu also noticed something was wrong and asked hesitantly, "He didn't really cut his hand, did he?"
"Definitely." Li Ping answered without hesitation.
Sun Xiu burst out laughing, "Your father is a face-conscious person. You two shouldn't mention this matter later."
"Okay." Li Xu and the other two responded.
Everyone chatted for a while before seeing Li Jiakang come in.
Li Xu asked, "Dad, are there any benefits for you going to the countryside?"
"Yes, each person gets a 50-cent subsidy per day, and after work, they can rest for two days."
"Huh?" Li Xu was stunned. "Why is it similar to us?"
"I actually know this. It seems like this was a plan discussed by the leaders of various units to avoid conflicts."
Come to think of it, if one unit offers higher subsidies, will people from other units who go to the countryside be happy when the news gets out?
Li Xu nodded as if he suddenly understood something, but he was thinking about other things.
Will the other people from the supply and marketing cooperative who went to the countryside be able to cause trouble by then?
The next morning.
When they gathered at the office gate, Li Xu brought up this matter.
After hearing this, Liu Gang and others didn’t know what to say.
If the unequal treatment is just an internal matter of the supply and marketing cooperative, then those few people can naturally make a fuss.
But now other units have the same treatment, and you are not in the right even if you make trouble.
Thinking of this, Master Qi sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not tell them about this. It's useless to tell them."
"Okay." Everyone agreed, and then Liu Gang said dejectedly, "It's a pity that we won't see Shen Yuan get beaten."
