The people from the Baisha Brigade heard the yelling and quickly ran over, almost falling down because of their haste.
Captain Baisha smiled ingratiatingly and said, "They have passed. Do you think this matter can be passed?"
But Ji Chenzhou glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "No, your sincerity is not enough. Our Qinggang Brigade will not accept it."
Everyone in the Qinggang Brigade was happy now. When had everyone in the Baisha Brigade ever shown such a fearful and flattering expression? They had always been ferocious and looked down on others.
Ji Chenzhou is really powerful. He made the Baisha Brigade afraid.
So at this moment, people from Qinggang Brigade said one after another.
"That's right, this is not enough. It's wishful thinking that we can just take out the thing blocking the water flow and it will be over."
"Bah! We lost so much crops in Baisha Brigade because of you. This is not acceptable."
"At least you have to come to our Qinggang Brigade to work for ten days or so. Otherwise, we might as well file a complaint. We won't lose anything anyway."
Listening to what everyone was saying, Ji Chenzhou just glanced at Captain Baisha indifferently.
The captain of the Baisha Brigade listened to what everyone said and his face turned grim, but he did not report it for the sake of the Qinggang Brigade.
He could only grit his teeth and say, "Okay, we'll help you do the work for 15 days. Do you think this matter can be resolved?"
When the people of Baisha Brigade heard that the captain actually agreed to the request of Qinggang Brigade, their eyes widened and they all said, "Captain, how can this be possible?"
"Captain, this request is too unreasonable. We can't do it."
"How can fifteen days be possible? Isn't this too much?"
Upon hearing this, the captain of the Baisha Brigade glared at them, then yelled "Shut up", and then they fell silent.
The captain of the Baisha Brigade was really afraid that if they continued talking, the people from the Qinggang Brigade would get angry, and if they really reported it, their Baisha Brigade would be finished.
After all, the honor of the advanced brigade cannot be lost, otherwise their Baisha Brigade will have no face left and will be drowned by the spit of other brigades.
So the captain of the Baisha Brigade repeated: "We in the Baisha Brigade are willing to do this for fifteen days, so let's just let it go."
Ji Chenzhou just glanced at him calmly, then turned around and asked calmly, "Do you think the Baisha Brigade's proposal is okay?"
At this time, the people in Qinggang Brigade were extremely happy. Someone came to do farm work for them for more than ten days, which reduced a lot of their burden, so they nodded one after another.
"That's good. I agree."
"I agree, too. The Baisha Brigade deserves it."
Everyone in the Qinggang Brigade agreed, and Ji Chenzhou nodded to the captain of the Baisha Brigade.
Captain Baisha felt aggrieved at the moment, but he knew he had to endure it. He said with difficulty, "Then our team will come again tomorrow."
With that said, he left with the people from the Baisha Brigade. When they left, the people from the Baisha Brigade all looked bad, their faces as black as charcoal.
But they were in the wrong in this matter, and there would be no good consequences if they reported it, so they could only accept it unwillingly, but they still secretly bore the grudge in their hearts.
When the Baisha Brigade left, the Qinggang Brigade laughed loudly and were extremely happy.
They all praised Ji Chenzhou as if he was free.
"Ji Lao San is really amazing. He made the shameless people of Baisha Brigade surrender."
"Yes, it turns out that high school students are different from us rough guys."
He Xianqiu also saw the scene just now, and felt that this was the other side of Ji Chenzhou.
He was calm and collected, and spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly, but his thoughts were clear, and his words frightened the Baisha Brigade.
Then He Xianqiu looked at Ji Chenzhou and felt that he seemed to be glowing.
He Xianqiu thought about Ji Chenzhou's ending. She thought that such a good Ji Chenzhou could not have the same ending as in the original book, so she wanted to change the ending.
Ji Chenzhou noticed her gaze and looked up at her. He Xianqiu smiled at him and made a heart shape with her hands.
Although Ji Chenzhou was a little confused about He Xianqiu's gesture, when he saw her smile, he smiled too.
The two looked at each other across the crowd, but it seemed that they only had each other in their eyes.
After the people from the Baisha Brigade left, He Xianqiu walked out from behind the tree.
It seemed that the Qinggang Brigade was happy just now, but now the atmosphere has become gloomy again.
"Alas, our food production is indeed low, but at least we can fill our stomachs at night."
"It can fill our stomachs, but the income and output cannot be increased. Our brigade has been at the bottom for a long time, but there is no other way to increase income except farming."
After hearing this, He Xianqiu fell into deep thought. It was true that income from farming could not be increased.
Because all the work points were exchanged for food, I could only earn a few dollars throughout the year.
But He Xianqiu had a bold idea in his mind, but he didn't know how to put it forward.
Maybe she should wait and see, and then tell the captain when she has thought it through. After all, this matter cannot be solved by just talking about it.
As for what plan He Xianqiu came up with to increase her income, she suddenly thought of the method of making soap with wood ash.
But making soap requires oil, which was not cheap in that era, but soap was even more expensive because fatty pork could be used to make oil.
However, the amount of soap was limited, and soap required soap coupons to buy it. This was too difficult for people who only did farm work. If they were not workers, where would they get soap coupons? Therefore, soap was always used sparingly.
However, as long as it is oil, it can be made into soap, which is not bad.
It was getting dark, and when He Xianqiu returned to the educated youth site, the people there had already started cooking.
The idle educated youth found a stool outside the yard to chat.
As soon as He Xianqiu came in, one of the educated youth asked curiously, "He Zhiqing, are you coming back? Did you hear about what happened by the river?"
He Xianqiu replied: "That's where I came from?"
When they heard that He Xianqiu had returned from the crime scene, the others started asking out of curiosity.
"How was it afterwards?"
He Xianqiu was tired of standing, so he found a stool to sit down and said, "The Baisha Brigade will come to our Qinggang Brigade to work for fifteen days."
Upon hearing this outcome, the people at the educated youth site were quite happy. This was great. With the help of the Baisha Brigade, they could feel a little more relaxed. This was a good thing.
In fact, everyone at the educated youth site had also heard about it, but they still wanted to know more, so they asked He Xianqiu.
Then they thought that it was Ji Chenzhou from the brigade who solved the problem, and the people at the educated youth point talked about it again.
"Ji Lao San is indeed good-looking, and many girls in the team like him."
Hearing them talking about Ji Chenzhou, He Xianqiu raised his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen.
"But there are too many bad things in Ji's family, and good families don't want their daughters to marry into their family."
He Xianqiu was puzzled: "Why?"
Seeing that He Xianqiu was interested in listening, the person who was speaking became more excited.
"Although he is good-looking, his parents don't like him and they are too cruel to him. I heard that he found a job in the commune and was sold by his parents. With such a family, who would be willing to marry into such a terrible family? And there is more to it than that."
He Xianqiu frowned when he heard this. Is this family? How could they treat their own children like that? This is too cruel.
He Xianqiu felt a little distressed when she thought that Ji Chenzhou was only a teenager and she didn't know how he survived until now.
He Xianqiu thought to himself that he should be nicer to Ji Chenzhou in the future. After all, she was still his older sister, one year older than him.
Although her body is only twenty years old now, her soul is that of a twenty-two year old.
Afterwards, He Xianqiu listened to them talking about the Qinggang Brigade.
When talking about Qinggang Brigade, He Xianqiu thought that if the soap could be made successfully, it would be a good thing for her and for the Qinggang Brigade as well.
But it's just a fantasy now. At least she needs to have a plan and then propose it to the captain.
Moreover, if Qinggang Brigade becomes prosperous, it will have helped many people.
Moreover, there are many simple people in the brigade, not all of them are barbaric and unreasonable.
He Xianqiu felt that if he could help them, it would make He Xianqiu very happy.
And from a selfish point of view, He Xianqiu could make a request to the captain, but as for what the request was, she couldn't think of it for the time being.
But now everything is just wishful thinking, and He Xianqiu has not taken any actual action yet.
So He Xianqiu didn't talk to them anymore, but went into the dormitory to write a plan, and then explained in detail the benefits of soap making and its impact on the development of Qinggang Brigade.
Anyway, it was a lot. He Xianqiu wrote about a few thousand words and finally finished it.
After finishing writing, He Xianqiu stretched.
At this time, someone outside the house shouted "Time for dinner". He Xianqiu first put the things into the box, locked it and then went out.
At this time, everyone had already sat down on the stools one after another. After He Xianqiu found a seat and sat down, someone asked her, "He Zhiqing, why did you go into the dormitory just now?"
He Xianqiu said calmly: "I went in and wrote some things."
"What did you write?"
"Impressions."
“I see.”
When other people heard the conversation, they didn't think there was anything special about it, just some feelings. However, Zhao Yaling on the side felt that it must be something useful. If it was a feeling, why didn't He Xianqiu say what it was.
Although she didn't know why she felt this way, she was inexplicably certain in her heart that this must be something very important, and she must snatch it away.
As for He Xianqiu, she didn't know that just two words she said could arouse Zhao Yaling's curiosity about what she said and she even wanted to find out the truth.
However, He Xianqiu is very cautious now. He dare not leave things outside, for fear that someone will rummage through them. Since he has encountered this once, he has to be vigilant. After all, that was a lesson.
