Chapter 34: Going to Work



When the two arrived at the place, there were already many people standing there.

Li Yan saw Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong coming over and waved, "Su Ruoli, Zhang Sitong."

The two walked over and greeted, "Sister Li Yan, good morning!"

"You two came quite early. There's still someone sleeping at the educated youth camp, and even calling him couldn't wake him up."

"Who is it? Even lazier than me." Zhang Sitong exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent.

"I called out to the new guy who came with you several times, and ended up getting slapped. Look at my hand, it's still red." Li Yan said as she stretched out her hand, on which five finger marks appeared.

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's so cruel. Who will dare to call her in the future?" Zhang Sitong, who was watching the fun, said indignantly.

Several old educated youth who lived with me also spoke up, "I won't call her anymore. You don't know, I sleep next to her, and she snores. Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the noise, so I shook her, and she just came over and kicked me. This kind of person is so scary. Who would dare to deal with her in the future?"

"Yeah, I heard it too. It was so noisy. Look at my dark circles," he said, pointing to his eyes.

"Just thinking about living together every day in the future makes me collapse, ahhhhh!!!"

Several old educated youth started criticizing Wang Yanfen one after another.

Why is it Wang Yanfen? That’s because Wang Yanfen and Zhu Ping are the only newcomers living in the educated youth dormitory, and Zhu Ping is already here, so it can only be Wang Yanfen.

After a while, the team leader came. After he arrived, he first read the Red Book, then asked everyone to shout slogans again, and finally began to assign tasks.

Since Su Ruoli and her companions were new, the team leader arranged for them to follow the women in the village to pull weeds in the fields.

Su Ruoli was assigned to the team leader's wife's side.

The captain’s wife is Aunt Aying. She was instantly happy when she saw that the one given to her was Su Ruoli.

After the team leader finished assigning the tasks, he discovered that one of the educated youth was missing. "Zhou Zhihao, are you missing one of the educated youth?"

Zhou Zhihao turned around and counted. All the male educated youth were there, which meant there was one female educated youth missing. When he was about to ask Li Yan.

Li Yan spoke up, "Don't count, you just missed one. I called you several times in the morning, and not only did you not get up, you even slapped me. Look at my hand, you can see five finger marks now." Then she stretched out her hand to show Zhou Zhihao.

Zhou Zhihao glanced at Li Yan's hand and saw five fingerprints. "Ignore her and let the team leader count her for absenteeism. What kind of person is she?"

Zhou Zhihao then said to the team leader, "Team Leader, Wang Yanfen is missing. She hasn't shown up after waiting for half an hour, so she'll be counted as absent from work. The people in the educated youth dormitory called her several times, but not only did she not respond, she was also beaten."

Liu Guofeng was really upset, so he said angrily, "Okay, if she doesn't come to work in half an hour, I'll report it to the Youth League Office. You were sent to the countryside to support rural development, not to enjoy yourself. If you don't want to come, go back. Our village is not short of people."

Seeing the captain's anger, Zhou Zhihao quickly said to him, "Captain, calm down. We are responding to the country's call to work with the farmers to build a beautiful new countryside. Hedonism will absolutely not occur. I'll send someone to call them and have them dragged over."

Huang Deren also realized that Wang Yanfen hadn't come. If this was reported to the Youth League Office, he might be implicated. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Captain, I'll go get her. I promise to get her." Then he turned and ran to the Youth League station.

When the team leader saw someone going to call, he waved his hand and asked everyone to go to work.

Comrade Ying introduced everything to Su Ruoli as they walked, telling her what was planted in the fields they passed by.

When they got to the sweet potato field, Tongzhi Ying taught Su Ruoli how to turn the sweet potato vines and demonstrated it to her. Then he started weeding. "Ruoli, take your time. You only need to turn this field by the afternoon. I'll come help you when I'm done."

"Okay, Aunt Ying, you go ahead and do your work. I'll get familiar with the area myself first."

Although Su Ruoli had never done farm work, she was strong and learned the ropes quickly.

After all, he had never done farm work before, so he was a little unfamiliar at the beginning. But after working for a while, his hands became faster, and soon he caught up with Comrade Ying.

"Hey, Ruoli girl, you're amazing! It's only been a short while, and your speed is no slower than those of us who work every day!"

Tongzhi Ying was really happy. Although Ruoli was new, she was much more capable than those old educated youth.

Even though those old educated youth have been here for so many years, when it comes to work, I guess neither of them can be as good as Ruoli girl.

"This is all thanks to Aunt Aying's good teaching, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get the hang of it so quickly." Su Ruoli said modestly.

"You are such a sweet-talker, girl. Hurry up and get to work. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can rest."

"Aunt Ying, if I finish my work by noon, do I not have to come in the afternoon?"

"That's the theory, but can you finish it by noon? Don't tire yourself out."

While working, Su Ruoli suddenly remembered that she had brought a pancake for Aunt Aying in the morning.

He quickly ran to Tongzhiying's side, took out a cake from his pocket and handed it to Tongzhiying, "Aunt Ying, this is what Sitong and I brought you this morning. We forgot to give it to you when we came here, and it's a little cold now."

Tongzhi Ying quickly stopped what he was doing and patted Su Ruoli, "What are you doing, girl? Put it away quickly."

Su Ruoli pushed Tongzhi Ying into her arms again and said, "Aunt Ying, you can't refuse this. This is something Sitong and I gave to you. I was planning to ask you who has rapeseed later. If you don't accept it, I'll be embarrassed to ask."

Tongzhiying pushed the pancake into Su Ruoli's arms and said, "You kid, really, you asked such a question, and I still want you to eat it. What kind of person am I? Put it away quickly."

"Oh! Auntie, please accept it. If you don't, I won't ask you for help in the future." Su Ruoli shook Tongzhiying's arm.

Helpless, Tongzhi Ying could only accept it and tapped Su Ruoli's forehead, "Girl, you are always so polite. The other day your sister-in-law Xiuying and sister-in-law Yuyun came back and said that you two gave me brown sugar, egg cakes, and meat buns, and today you gave me some more. Can't you keep some things for yourself? They bite your hands!"

Tongzhi Ying said this, but she was really happy in her heart. "After work this afternoon, come to my house. I have rapeseed there."

"Okay, Aunt Ying. Then I'll go to work quickly and try to finish it early so that I still have time to turn the soil when I go back." After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Tongzhi Ying opened the paper and took a look, then wrapped it up again. It turned out that what the girl had given was actually oil-dregs cake. He put the paper back and gave it to Yaya to eat. The girl would surely love it.
