The villagers were dumbfounded and speechless.
This young lady, a ruthless woman who can chop down wild boars with a knife, cut down trees with an axe, punch hooligans, and kick shrewish women, is now telling them that her most suitable job is cutting pig feed?
Those work points were specially reserved for the children, how dare she try to claim them?
Moreover, they seemed to feel honored and proud of it.
They had never seen such a shameless person...
Just moments ago, many of them were filled with both anticipation and trepidation.
The young men were naturally looking forward to it; working alongside such a beautiful girl gave them a lot more energy.
What if they get incredibly lucky and this girl falls for them? Wouldn't they be happy even if they were beaten up for the rest of their lives?
The other villagers were naturally anxious; Luo Zixi was causing too much trouble, and they knew they couldn't handle her.
However, considering Luo Zixi's immense strength and formidable skills, she shouldn't be too bad at farm work, right? It wouldn't be a bad idea if I could lend a hand.
So what did Luo Zixi do?
Is she going to cut pig feed?
It felt like Xu Jiang, who was speeding around, sitting at the children's table—strange yet somewhat comical.
So this girl is good for nothing but causing trouble, huh?
The village party secretary almost couldn't catch his breath.
However, after careful consideration, he realized that having Luo Zixi cut pig feed was not such a bad option.
Keeping her away from these rural women and men would reduce a lot of risks, and the possibility of her causing trouble would naturally be much smaller.
Now both village leaders feel that as long as these educated youth don't cause trouble, they can give them as many work points as they want to work.
You'll have to figure out the rest yourself. If you don't have enough work points to exchange for enough food, don't blame them.
Anyway, most of these educated youth had money, so they just made up for the lack of work points with money.
Normally, a group of rural women would have already started shouting, but in front of Luo Zixi, they dared not say a word.
In fact, most of the older women present also hoped that Luo Zixi would run far away.
Although she was infamous, she was as beautiful as a fairy, and her looks were incredibly alluring. Even if Luo Zixi was incredibly skilled in combat, she couldn't withstand the restless minds of young people; there were always some who were fearless.
They were also afraid that their own sons wouldn't be able to hold back. Even Liu Erzhu, the second son of the village secretary, and Liu Ergou from the neighboring family, hadn't given up yet.
Despite their mother's earnest pleas and attempts to coerce and entice them, the two outwardly agreed but refused to change their ways.
Yesterday, when Luo Zixi was cutting down the big tree, the two of them were eager to help!
If it weren't for their own mothers stopping them, they would have already been panting and acting like sycophants.
Now that Luo Zixi has taken the initiative to stay away from crowds, it has actually fulfilled the wishes of many people.
Finally, the village party secretary and the brigade leader exchanged glances and both thought it was feasible. He gritted his teeth and replied:
"Alright, then you can go cut pig feed."
"But don't do anything weird again, and make sure the amount of pig feed you cut is not short."
"However, I have to make it clear to you beforehand that there are only two people cutting pig feed each day, which is barely enough for you to get your work hours recorded and pass the test."
"If you want to return to the city in the future, all of this is on record. Have you thought it through?"
Luo Zixi then answered very frankly:
"I'd already thought it through, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to assign me this job. I love learning, and cutting pig feed gives me time to study. I want to go to university someday!"
Hearing Luo Zixi say this, everyone present couldn't help but laugh:
“Luo Zhiqing, I’m not afraid of you hitting me. I believe you when you say you’re good at hitting people, but you say you want to go to university? Heh, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
One villager started jeering, while another villager solemnly corrected him:
"How can this be called forcing someone to do something they don't understand? You used the wrong idiom. What should it be called again? Not knowing one's own limitations. Yes, yes, that's what people say."
At this moment, the village secretary, fearing that the villagers might spout nonsense and upset Luo Zixi again, quickly interrupted them:
"Alright, enough of this nonsense, let's get to work. Luo, the educated youth, is ambitious and willing to learn; he's a good comrade, and we should all encourage him."
Upon hearing the village secretary's words, the villagers burst into laughter again.
Everyone could tell from the village secretary's perfunctory attitude that these days, what university is there?
If they could really go to university, why would these educated youths still go to the countryside? They could all go to university.
Those old universities have long since closed down. These days, it's worker-peasant-soldier universities, where students are recommended by their subordinates. What's the point of taking exams?
It's all about personal connections. What connections could someone who comes here to work in the countryside possibly have?
Otherwise, there would be no need to come to this remote and impoverished place.
Therefore, it was simply a pipe dream for these educated youth to want to go to university!
This is also why many rural people in that era liked to bully educated youth who had been sent to the countryside.
They felt that this was how the educated youth's lives would be; they couldn't lift their hands or carry heavy loads, and who could they rely on in this rural area?
In the end, they still had to give in. The men married rural girls, and the women married rural men; only then could they survive.
If even survival is a problem, what else is there to talk about?
Little did they know that the tide would turn in less than two years, with many educated youth returning to the city through university entrance exams and beginning to retaliate against the rural people who had committed wrongdoings.
That was another bloodbath that was invisible to the naked eye.
However, none of this has anything to do with Luo Zixi.
She ignored everyone's harmless jokes; she was content with just getting the easiest job.
