Si Yang did not continue to herd sheep with Xiangcao for the time being, but obediently joined the Sixth Company's pioneering team.
A reclamation team consisting of more than 20 comrades set out early in the morning, leading horses and carrying plows.
Coincidentally, Xiao Meng and An Rong were also in this team. The two girls were very enthusiastic towards Si Yang, and the other comrades in the team also took good care of the new comrades.
Si Yang had a pretty good first day of participating in the land reclamation. Not only did he cooperate well with his comrades, he also used traps to catch two large nests of rabbits in the weeds of the wasteland.
On her first day, she served roasted rabbit to the team, and her comrades jokingly called her "Little Lucky General."
But this relaxed and harmonious atmosphere obviously angered some villains. The next day, Wu Qiyang came to the reclamation site with his hands behind his back for a surprise inspection.
As a result, they started to find all kinds of faults. One said that the plow was not deep enough and the soil clods were too large. The other said that the reclamation team was too inefficient. They proposed to set the task according to the standard of one acre of land per person per day.
His request immediately angered his comrades.
You have to know that an adult man who gets up early and works late every day without eating or drinking can only hoe about one and a half acres of land at most.
What’s more, this is land reclamation!
Among the 23 people in the reclamation team, eight of them were women. In addition, this was wasteland that had never been cultivated before, with weeds growing everywhere and making it difficult to plow the land.
The arrangements he made without any basis in reality were simply unreasonable.
The team leader immediately protested, "Captain Wu, your request is too unreasonable. We men can each cultivate one acre of land, but do you think it's possible for the women to cultivate one acre a day?"
"Hmph, everything depends on human effort! From what I understand, you still have time to barbecue, which means your mission is too easy. I won't take back what I've said. If you refuse to carry out your mission, I'll deduct three months' allowance from you."
"Captain Wu, you..."
Si Yang took two steps forward, pulled the captain aside, and stood in front of Wu Qiyang. "Captain Wu, if you're angry, just come straight at me. There's no need to be sarcastic and drag others into this."
Wu Qiyang snorted, "Oh, you think too much. I don't intend to target you. You are not that important!"
Si Yang sneered, "Really? I thought you were embarrassed by your confession and got rejected, so you were deliberately trying to make things difficult for me!"
"What? Did Captain Wu confess his feelings to Comrade Qin Siyang?"
"No wonder. He's so angry that he can't get what he wants, so he's deliberately coming here to cause trouble for us..."
The pioneering team was instantly in an uproar.
Wu Qiyang didn't expect that Si Yang would bring up the matter openly without any hesitation. After all, he was a company commander, and it was naturally embarrassing for him to be exposed in public by a woman.
"Qin Siyang, I advise you to stop talking nonsense and obey the instructions honestly, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
"You can try it, do you really think I'm scared? You're a coward who dares to do things but not to take responsibility. If anyone likes you, it means they didn't do good deeds in their previous life and they don't do good deeds in this life!" Si Yang shouted angrily.
Wu Qiyang was instantly enraged by Si Yang. "Qin Siyang violated the Corps' regulations, refused to obey orders, and even verbally humiliated his superiors. Do you believe I will deduct half a year's salary from you?"
Si Yang laughed instead of getting angry: "You're using chicken feathers as a token of authority. If you dare to deduct my subsidy today, I'll make you pay double tomorrow!"
"Humph, you're quite arrogant. I'll wait and see if you have what it takes."
"Then you wait..."
"Comrade Si Yang, stop arguing." Xiao Meng and An Rong immediately went up to hold her back.
"Yes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain..." A group of people surrounded Si Yang and advised him.
Seeing this, Wu Qiyang smiled smugly and said, "I think Comrade Qin Siyang is so stubborn that she could plow the land. How about this? I'll give you two a chance. As long as Qin Siyang can plow an acre of land by herself today, the others won't have to suffer. This will be her punishment for contradicting me. How do you think?"
