Chapter 214 Going to Work
After dinner, Xia Zhizhi asked Yang Yingxu to come into the house.
She prepared two pairs of labor protection gloves and a hat for Yang Yingxu.
I have to go to work tomorrow. The work won't be hard on the first day. I'll probably just have some meetings and repair some tools. But when the farm work starts, this kid will probably be very annoying.
After thinking for a while, she stuffed two boxes of vanishing cream into Yang Yingxu's pocket and said, "Working is tiring. Wear a hat and don't get your face sunburned. Be lazy if you can. Don't worry about what others say. At most, you'll just get some extra money."
It wouldn't be enough to make up for ten or twenty yuan. If he was exhausted because of these work points and had no energy to cook properly, it would be a real loss for Xia Zhizhi.
Yang Yingxu accepted it happily. After hearing her say that, his fear of having to do hard labor in the fields the next day was reduced a lot.
When his three roommates returned to their room, they saw him putting makeup on in front of the mirror. No, it was applying face cream.
Everyone looked at him with a cute face, looking at himself in the mirror with a look of hope and brilliance.
Well, it’s a bit hard to put into words.
Fortunately, his three roommates are all nice people. They are not the kind of nagging people. They just complain in their hearts, and no one will ridicule him to his face because of this.
The next day, Yang Yingxu went to work with everyone.
Xia Zhizhi still refused to go. She used to pretend to be sick, but now that her position was stable and she had power, she was too lazy to pretend and simply refused to go.
With her status and position, no one in the village could even feel jealous of her, and they all found excuses for her in their hearts.
Xia Zhiqing is a man who handles big things. It's tiring enough for him to think every day. Why does he have to do this job? He is already in poor health. If he gets too tired, people outside will think that they are mistreating Xia Zhiqing!
The first day was just a meeting and some tool repairs, so it wasn't tiring, and Yang Yingxu was in good condition.
I started working the next day, and when I came back I felt as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost.
When we just started working, there was no other work to do, so we all went to plow the soil.
At this time, the top ten centimeters of soil had thawed, but the soil further down was still frozen and hard. It was so hard for even men to dig, let alone Yang Yingxu.
Yang Yingxu was a hardworking man, but he was only willing to do easy jobs. To be honest, he had been pampered all his life.
After digging for five minutes, my arms were tired and I couldn't lift the hoe.
The commune member next to him joked: "Look at Yang Zhiqing's delicate skin and tender flesh, just like a young wife."
"I think she's even more delicate than a young wife!"
"That's true. I think she's much more delicate and tender than your wife."
"What the hell are you doing staring at my wife?"
The members next to him were making a lot of noise, but Yang Yingxu pretended not to hear.
After all, he has a lifetime of memories and can understand the meaning of words like "coquettish" and "sissy".
Even though they sounded disgusted, to Yang Yingxu, it sounded no different from complimenting him.
It's just that he doesn't like to hear these gossipy brothers and uncles who always like to say dirty things without any shame.
This piece of land was divided among five male members, and they all plowed through it smoothly, leaving Yang Yingxu far behind.
In addition to Yang Yingxu, other newly arrived educated youth also felt tormented.
Not to mention the new educated youth, even the old educated youth who had taken a break for half a year were in the same situation.
After all, not everyone has the awareness to slack off and boldly make up work points.
He Yu, Lin Wenxi and several other female comrades were assigned to a piece of land. She used the hoe a few times, but couldn't dig any more and her eyes kept moving over other people.
Finally, his eyes fell on Lin Wenxi, who was leading the crowd.
She looked down upon the villagers and didn't like talking to them, so she didn't know that Lin Wenxi was a lesbian.
Last time at the educated youth center, seeing that she was well dressed and looked suitable, He Yu deliberately bumped into her hoping for a chance encounter, but she seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry.
She was dawdling while leaning on the hoe. When Lin Wenxi took a break, she came over and handed her water bottle to Lin Wenxi, saying sympathetically, "Comrade, I see you didn't bring a water bottle. How about using mine?"
It was Lin Wenxi's first time to go out to the fields, and he really didn't bring anything with him. After hearing what she said, he took the drink and started drinking it.
Seeing her take the water bottle, He Yu said again: "Comrade, you are really efficient at your job. I really admire you."
She stretched out her red hands to show Lin Wenxi, and said pitifully: "Look, my hands are almost worn out. I just turned over such a small amount of ground. I don't know what to do. Can you teach me some skills?"
What skills does that have? Just use your strength to push her. Seeing how pitiful she is and how she admires him, Lin Wenxi was very pleased. He returned the water bottle to her and said, "There is no skill. You have little strength and delicate skin. It must be hard to do this. Okay, take a rest. I will help you turn this little piece of land."
He Yu's method is not very clever. If it is replaced by other shrewd male gays, it may not work. After all, this job is really tiring, unless the other person is interested in her and wants to show off.
But Lin Wenxi fell for it!
Her life was so rough before. Now that she traveled through time, there was no shortage of lesbians. However, except for her family, sister-in-law and children, other pretty lesbians all disdained her.
It was so hard to find a lesbian who spoke so softly, was so admiring and gentle and considerate to her. Even if she had no other feelings for this lesbian, she would still be flattered and would be able to plow ten acres of land in one breath without any fatigue.
As soon as she opened her mouth, He Yu knew that she was a lesbian, but seeing that she was buying into his tricks, he naturally wanted nothing more than to do so.
Lesbians are even better. You just need to spend some time to coax her, and it won’t delay her from looking for other candidates.
Lin Wenxi was helping He Yu dig the ground with great effort, while He Yu was watching from the side and cheering her on.
She just felt that she had endless energy.
Han Youran is the village doctor now. She doesn't have to go to work when it's not the busy farming season. She prepared lunch today.
When the others put the food in their mouths, they all showed expressions of doubt about life.
Even Cui Zijin, who always supported her, looked a little upset.
I never thought her cooking was this bad before?!
This is normal. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The others had different expressions.
Only Xiao Yang bravely stood up and said, "Comrade Han, why don't you pick and wash these vegetables and leave them for me to cook when I come back."
Xiao Yang was not surprised by her cooking skills. It was true that women's cooking was terrible.
The taste is really terrible.
No one could finish the pot of food at noon, so everyone scooped a spoonful of the mushroom sauce that Yang Yingxu had made earlier and ate it with rice.
This pot was secretly poured into the toilet when no one was around.
In fact, we shouldn't waste food like this. If people can't eat it, we can feed it to pigs.
But they didn't raise pigs.
They can't just go to the pigpen in the commune to prepare this pot of food. If they just throw away the delicious food without eating it, people will inevitably think they are wasting food. Instead of letting people gossip about them behind their backs, it's better to just throw it away and save themselves the trouble.
