This caused Sun Weiguo, who was also digging the soil next to him, to burst into laughter. "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you? You're setting an example for the people in our team with the soil you've dug? Hahaha, this, this is really embarrassing..."
Chu Tian's face turned dark blue, dark blue, he dropped the hoe in his hand, walked to the place where the pottery jar was placed not far away, poured out a bowl of water and drank it, then sat down on the ground...
Sun Weiguo looked around and found that his father was not there, so he dropped his hoe and ran to sit next to Chu Tian.
"Brother Tian, even if you haven't worked all winter, you shouldn't be like this, right? Why do you feel like you've never done farm work before..."
Chu Tian, "I just had too much free time for the past few months, so it was a bit awkward at first..."
Sun Weiguo nodded. "Well, that's possible. By the way, Brother Tian, are you tired? How about I help you with some work later?"
"No, I'll just take a break..."
Chu Tian refused without hesitation. Are you kidding? Sun Weiguo could help him once, but could he help him for a lifetime?
Moreover, Captain Sun’s rule is that each person is allocated a piece of land, and you will get work points based on how much work you complete. The more you work, the more you earn, and there is no upper limit!
This can not only effectively prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation, but also promote everyone's enthusiasm! In short, during the spring plowing season every year, many strong laborers can earn twelve or thirteen work points a day if they don't slack off, and some who are more diligent can earn fifteen or sixteen...
He didn't know whether he would have to stay in the brigade to farm before the reform and opening up, but at least he would not run around in the last two years. So, he had to learn how to do farm work during the busy farming season, even if he was not very good at it.
Chu Tian was not able to adapt, and the educated youth were even more miserable. Several female educated youth could not stand the farm work, and although they had bitter faces, they still worked intermittently.
Only the female educated youth who had the most problems started crying again, which made Captain Sun's eyelids twitch.
"I'm telling you, if you don't work hard, you won't get any work points. Without work points, you won't get any food until winter!"
"Don't count on the regiment to give you food anymore. That's impossible!"
Song Jiao looked at the blisters on her palms and tears fell down. She looked so aggrieved, "But, but I really can't do it anymore!"
Captain Sun sneered, "Even if you can't do it, you have to do it! If you don't do it, you'll starve!"
"One or two of them, they're not good at any work, but they're better at finding trouble than the other!"
"I've chosen the easiest land for you to till. Look for yourselves, all of them are young. Why can they do it, but you can't? Do you think that just because you came from the city, you're immortal fairies who can't touch the ground? That you can live without food and just drink water every day?"
The more he talked, the angrier Captain Sun grew. He pointed to a field not far from where the educated youth were working and said, "Do you know what kind of land they're turning? It's only been reclaimed for two years. Not only is the soil hard, but there are also rocks everywhere. They hit a rock every two turns. Do you know what it feels like when the rake hits a rock and it passes through your hands?"
"Look at the fields beneath your feet again. Don't you see a single stone? Turn the soil over again. Do you find that it's not very hard? Do you know why? It's because this piece of land beneath your feet is the land we have cultivated for more than ten years!"
"It's the easiest piece of land to turn over in the entire brigade!"
Captain Sun was almost pissed off. He couldn't stand these educated youth anymore. He couldn't understand why they had brought these ignorant kids here. Not only were they of no help, but they only knew how to cause trouble every day.
When the educated youth heard what Captain Sun said, they were stunned. Even Song Jiao, who was crying, forgot to cry and stared at Captain Sun blankly!
Captain Sun shouted angrily, "What? Don't you believe me? Then you can go and try to dig up the soil they dig! I really can't understand it. They are all girls. Look at the girls in our team. They are not even as old as you. Why can they do it, but you can't?"
Song Jiao pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "They are peasants, and we in the city...how can we be the same?"
Captain Sun glared at her, pointed at her, and shouted angrily, "What's wrong with being a peasant? Isn't the food you eat in the city all grown by peasants like us? If you have the guts, start strangling your neck today and don't eat the food grown by peasants like us!"
"Also, let me tell you, little girl, you're a peasant now too! Your household registration was already registered in our brigade when you went to the countryside!"
"Whether you can go back in the future depends on whether I let you go! Even if I am willing to let you go, there may not be anyone in the city to accept you!"
"So, you'd better not act crazy in front of us..."
Even though Captain Sun was sometimes strict, he had never so openly disliked someone and scolded him without giving him any face. This was the first time in history. Some team members closest to the educated youth point wanted to eavesdrop, but when they saw Captain Sun's anger, they fled the place for fear that the captain's anger would be vented on them.
The educated youth were all a little confused when they were scolded, especially the male ones. Although they felt a little tired at work today, they did not complain and were all working their best. So when they felt Captain Sun's undisguised anger at this time, they all looked at each other, a little at a loss.
To be honest, they also felt that the female educated youth were somewhat ungrateful, because in the morning when they listened to Captain Sun assigning the fields to work, when everyone heard about the location of the land allocated to them, they all looked at them with envy, especially some of the younger girls...
Later they found out that the land they were working on had been cultivated for many years, so they said it was relatively soft, so in previous years it was only worked by girls aged 14, 15 or 16...
Li Jianmin took a deep breath and walked out. Although he felt that what the captain said was unpleasant, he had to admit that the captain was not wrong.
"Captain, I know we have many shortcomings now. We are not as good as the other members of the team, no, we may not even be as good as the children. But we are willing to learn. I just hope Captain Sun can give us the opportunity to learn."
Listening to Li Jianmin's sincere and serious tone, Captain Sun glanced up and down and found that the male educated youth in front of him did not participate in the last riot by the educated youth. At that time, he joined forces with the educated youth office of the regiment to send these educated youth to the coal mine to do voluntary labor. This male educated youth did not have any rebuttal or dissatisfaction, but honestly followed and worked for so long.
