Chapter 55 I'm Not a Lazy Person
Jiang Hao and Shi Luo woke up at the same time when they heard the whistle outside.
The two men washed their faces and hurried to the fields.
"Hey, Brother Hao, look at that kid. Is she the He Pandi who caused trouble the other day?"
On the way to work, Shi Luo saw a sneaky girl who looked familiar.
Jiang Hao looked over and said, "Indeed, the one in front of her is Tian Cao, right? I heard from my mom some time ago that He Lao San agreed and married Tian Cao home a few days ago."
Shi Luo: "I haven't heard that anyone in our team had a wedding recently."
Jiang Hao curled his lips and said, "What kind of wedding is this? Old Mrs. He said that since it's her second marriage, she won't hold one.
On the day of marrying his wife, He Laosan borrowed the brigade's ox cart and pulled the grass from Tian's house to He's house. The matter was settled.
I just don't know why the Tian family actually agreed to this, considering their daughter is getting married for the first time."
Shi Luo: "Those two families are really uncouth. Oh, that's not right. I remember the last time I saw He Pan, she seemed much thinner than now, and her eyes were different, like a little ferocious beast. Why is she so honest now? She looks much calmer."
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Hao lowered his voice and said to Shi Luo,
"That was just a pretense. A while ago, I didn't look for you one day. I went to the commune. When I came back, it was already dark.
That day I met He Pan, she seemed not to see me, I saw her swaying with two chickens in her arms,
I originally wanted to follow her to see what she was doing and to see if I could figure out where she got her chicken from.
I followed her for a while and then I saw her running up the mountain in the middle of the night. I was wearing less clothes that day and felt cold, so I didn't follow her.
But the next day I heard from my mother that the Tian family in our brigade had lost two old hens.
The Tian family only had two chickens, and they made a fuss for quite a while."
Shi Luo really didn't know about this. Since the beginning of hibernation, Shi Luo rarely went out because the winter in Northeast China was really too cold. It was so cold that you would freeze to death even if you went to the toilet.
This made Shi Luo, who had always lived in the south, very uncomfortable, so he really missed a lot of the excitement in the team.
"No wonder I felt like He Pandi had gotten a lot fatter than when I first saw her. It turns out she knows how to find food now. Okay, let's get to the fields. I'm going to work now. You should hurry up and go too."
Jiang Hao: "Your hand isn't healed yet. If it doesn't work, just fiddle with the hoe for a bit and it will be fine. I'll be right over there. If you need anything, just call me. I can hear you."
Shi Luo lamented that Jiang Hao was becoming more and more verbose, saying the same thing several times.
"Don't worry, just go ahead, I know my limits."
Seeing Shi Luo's annoyed expression, Jiang Hao stopped talking and could only take his own hoe and leave, looking back every few steps.
"You little bastard, you're still looking at it."
Liu Cuihua saw her son coming over, turned around and looked at him with disdain and said,
"Don't be so clingy all day, old man."
Jiang Hao curled his lips and said, "Mom, you are envious and jealous. Alas, there is nothing I can do. Who made me have someone who is willing to stick with me?"
Liu Cuihua patted Jiang Hao on the back and said, "I'm jealous of you, stop talking nonsense here.
You said you are being dishonest day by day, and now you even dare to tease me.
I tell you, if you don’t earn ten centimeters today, I won’t give you food tonight.”
Jiang Hao said with a playful smile, "Hey, I'm not afraid. I made an appointment with Shi Luo tonight to eat at his place."
"Stinky brat"
Liu Cuihua laughed and scolded her son, and stopped arguing with him. She started working.
Jiang Hao was working with a hoe in his hand. When he was about to finish his work, he saw his father coming over.
Jiang Jianguo: "Haozi, come with me to pick up the educated youth tomorrow morning."
"I won't go. I want to work and earn work points. I'm not a lazy person."
Jiang Hao didn't want to go at all. The educated youth were a big trouble.
Oh, of course, except for his own young educated youth Shi Luo, all the others have eyes on top of their heads. When they first came, their noses were not noses and their eyes were not eyes. Their words were extremely irritating, and Jiang Hao was unwilling to suffer that irritation.
Captain Jiang's mouth twitched when he heard his son's shameless words. "Go ahead, I'll give you six work points, no less than what you'd get for a day's work in the brigade."
Jiang Hao was not happy. "I won't go. You can let Uncle Zhou go. You can just give him six centimeters."
Captain Jiang was anxious.
"If your Uncle Zhou goes to work, he can earn full work points. If he goes to pick up the educated youth, he will earn several less work points a day.
Calculate how much grain that is, and if he leaves, the progress of the field will be delayed,
In our brigade, apart from the educated youth and children, you can only earn five or six centimeters a day.
Girls who are sixteen or seventeen years old earn more than you. Tell me who else is suitable for our team besides you."
Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Then I can go with you. We can drive a tractor. I can drive one anyway."
"Why drive a tractor? You're just a coward. You don't know how expensive things are until you run a household. Tractors don't use oil. It's such a waste to use oil to pick up educated youth. How much work can a tractor do in a day on the fields? Are those educated youth worth driving a tractor for? Don't you even consider whether they are worth the oil money?"
Stop talking nonsense. It's just you and me with the brigade's oxcart at 10:30 this morning. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Just come with me to the Youth League Office and we'll drive the oxcart. Honestly, if I wasn't worried that they would have too much luggage and couldn't walk, I wouldn't even agree to drive the oxcart."
After Jiang Jianguo finished speaking, he saw Jiang Hao nodded in agreement, then turned around and went to the brigade headquarters. He had to discuss with the accountant how much food was left in the warehouse and see how much he could give out on credit to the educated youth.
It's the time of famine, and even the brigade headquarters has little food. This batch of educated youth came at a really bad time, but it's better than the previous batch. At least they caught up with the busy farming season and can do some work. Unlike the previous batch of educated youth, they really just ate for free when they arrived.
