Arriving at the latrine, Zhou Dajun wielded his shovel powerfully, scooping out the excrement one shovelful at a time.
The pungent smell hit everyone, making their eyes water.
But he still insisted on carrying the wooden bucket to fill it up, and Xu Wen was responsible for carrying it to the big pit.
As expected of the leader of the educated youth settlement, his attitude of "enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens" is worthy of being the person in charge of the educated youth settlement.
The newly arrived educated youth, seeing this scene and smelling the strong stench of excrement, all ran far away to vomit.
"Brother, I don't think I need to eat today. How can there still be this kind of work in the countryside?" Lu Xiao felt a deep bitterness in his heart.
"You don't need to shovel, just pick it up. Just tie a towel around your mouth and nose and don't look."
"Look at their captain, he works without batting an eye," Zhang Shang said calmly.
Seeing this, Zhou Man immediately retreated to her room.
Anyway, with Liu Hongying helping her, she doesn't need work points or to do this.
Zhou Dajun told the female educated youth to pick up some straw and weeds and put them in a winnowing basket so they could be thrown into the pit later.
There are five manure pits in the village, and it's quite easy to fill them all.
When it was Chen Gang's turn, he was in charge of carrying the load. He would put it down and rest every two steps, which made the villagers point and whisper about him.
He felt very irritated. How could a proud son of heaven be here picking up manure?
Regardless of his thoughts, he was determined to pick up the excrement.
Finally, it was Lu Xiao and Zhang Shang's turn. Zhang Shang was in charge of shoveling, while Lu Xiao held back his tears and carried the excrement into the pit.
After the people at the educated youth settlement finished cleaning the outhouse, they went together to the cowshed.
The villagers are responsible for the pig manure in the pigsty, while they are responsible for the cow manure in the cowshed.
When everyone saw that the cow dung was piled up in chunks on the ground and the smell wasn't so strong, they felt a little relieved.
Now, the female educated youth all volunteered to help shovel cow dung.
Even He Hua and Zhou Man had to help shovel cow dung so that the male educated youth could help carry it away.
The whole village finished the work of collecting fertilizer in just one morning.
The team leader was very pleased to see their positive attitude towards work.
"Everyone, you don't need to work this afternoon. You can come back to work tomorrow."
The work is very easy; it's just weeding the sweet potato and peanut fields. Now we can go back for lunch and a rest.
Everyone cheered when they heard they could rest in the afternoon.
After all, it had been a morning of work, and the smell of the work was quite pungent.
Everyone was exhausted and hungry. The educated youth returned to their settlement, prepared to wash up properly, and then get some rest.
After Lu Xiao and Zhang Shang returned to the educated youth settlement, they immediately took over the shower room.
They quickly rinsed their bodies, trying to wash away the stench.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Lu Xiao felt much more relaxed.
