Chapter 47: Welcomed by the Old Educated Youth
Chapter 47: Welcomed by the Old Educated Youth
Although the wooden splinter from the old ox's front hoof had been removed, there was still some injury.
The team leader was worried that it would be crushed, so he decided to use the ox cart only to pull the luggage, and everyone else would walk to the countryside.
Although the educated youth had complaints about the team leader's decision, they did not dare to say much.
After all, the captain holds the highest position in the village.
They will be living in the village for several years to come, so they can't offend him.
The ox cart was running fast, so Old Li prepared to drive it away first.
But for some reason, the old ox refused to move and kept looking back.
Old Li was smart this time.
"Captain, Lao Huang wants to go with Lin Zhiqing."
"That's easy." The captain waved his hand and said, "Lin Zhiqing, get on the bullock cart and follow us back first."
Upon hearing this, the other female educated youth's eyes flashed with envy.
Zhang Lian couldn't help it.
"Captain, this is unfair. We agreed that no one can ride in a bullock cart. Why should Comrade Lin be allowed to ride alone?"
The captain glanced at her and said speechlessly:
"Just because she helped the old ox, if you have this ability, you can also sit down!"
This is why he doesn't like these female educated youth from the city.
Too pampered, competitive, and unable to see his own position.
Seeing the captain speaking so rudely.
Zhang Lian's eyes reddened and she wanted to start acting again.
But the team leader was a rough country guy and he didn't take this trick at all.
"Alright! Hurry up and get going.
It's already afternoon. If we delay any longer, we'll have to walk in the dark.
The mountain road is not easy to walk on at night. If a wolf suddenly jumps out, it will be terrible!"
In fact, there are no wolves in the forest. This is said to scare them, otherwise it will be very troublesome if they make trouble.
"Then let's go!" Zhang Lian was of course afraid of the wolf and didn't dare to make any more noise.
"Moo, moo, moo~"
The old ox in front was still urging us forward.
The team leader said: "Lin Zhiqing, please get on the oxcart quickly. We are about to set off."
Lin Xiaodou nodded: "Okay."
In order to avoid attracting hatred, she generally doesn't like to be treated specially.
But I can't refuse such a kind invitation, so why don't we make an exception just for once?
......
On a summer afternoon, the mountains and forests are quiet.
Lin Xiaodou sat on the wobbly ox cart.
Close your eyes slightly and quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.
The cool breeze brushes across my cheeks and the fragrance of green leaves lingers around my nose.
Ah~ everything is so fresh and beautiful.
Lin Xiaodou couldn't help but stand up and open his arms to feel it all.
The cool mountain breeze passes through my fingertips--
"Bang!"
The wheel of the oxcart hit an uneven stone.
Lin Xiaodou lost his balance and nearly fell forward.
She sat down quickly.
Well, I failed at pretending to be artistic.
Let's just sit still.
How embarrassing(^～^;)ゞ.
......
After nearly two hours of riding on the shaky ox cart, we finally arrived at the village.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaodou doesn't get carsick, otherwise she would have vomited many times due to the bumpy ride on the ox cart.
Normally, people in the village get on and off the ox carts on the flat ground at the entrance of the village.
This time, Old Li drove the ox cart directly to the gate of the educated youth compound.
Old Li: "Lin Zhiqing is here, you can take a rest for a while, I will help you move your luggage down."
Lin Xiaodou: "Let me help you move it. Let's finish it quickly so you and Lao Huangniu can go to rest early."
As she said this, she jumped off the ox cart and carried the luggage downstairs.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Old Li's eyes.
This girl is really good, much better than those pampered female educated youth.
The two of them worked very quickly and finished moving more than 10 pieces of luggage in a short while and piled them in the yard of the educated youth compound.
Old Li said hello to Lin Xiaodou and drove away in the ox cart.
Lin Xiaodou took a walk around the educated youth compound.
It is called the educated youth compound, but in fact it is just a large bungalow wooden house, and the other villagers also live in wooden houses.
After all, it is inconvenient to transport bricks and tiles in the mountains, so it is fastest to directly cut down wood and build a wooden house.
The bungalow is divided into several areas:
On the left is a large room, which should be where the male educated youth lived. Things are placed in a messy manner.
There is also a big room on the right. It is where the female educated youth live. It is very clean and tidy.
Both rooms had large bunk beds, so Lin Xiaodou didn't go in, but just looked at the door.
After all, everyone hasn't come back yet, so it's better not to rush in.
In the middle is a main room, connecting the front yard and the back yard.
There is a tree and a well in the front yard. There is a shed behind the well, which looks like a place for cooking.
There are some vegetables planted in the backyard, and there is a shabby toilet next to it.
Lin Xiaodou didn't dare to go in and take a look. He could smell the odor from a distance away and couldn't stand it.
Wait until you have finished touring the entire educated youth compound.
Lin Xiaodou looked at the watch on his wrist.
It's already 5pm, and I estimate that I will get off work in an hour.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xiaodou entered the space.
I have been traveling all day today and I am tired and hungry.
Lin Xiaodou went to take a shower first, and then opened 2 bags of snail noodles.
After eating with big mouthfuls, Lin Xiaodou lay on the comfortable sofa and felt like he was alive again.
I set an alarm and took a half-hour break.
Hearing the noise in the front yard, Lin Xiaodou hurried out of the space and walked forward from the backyard.
As soon as I walked into the main room, I ran into a group of educated youth who had just finished work.
"Comrade, who are you?"
A new face suddenly appeared in the room.
Lin Yang, the person in charge of the Youth League Compound, was still a little confused.
The others also looked at the beautiful girl in front of them with curiosity.
Lin Xiaodou smiled and greeted, "Hello everyone, I am the new educated youth, Lin Xiaodou."
"You are new here, welcome!!"
Everyone laughed when they heard it, with unstoppable excitement in their eyes.
They rushed forward and enthusiastically introduced Lin Xiaodou to the educated youth compound and the things that happened at work.
Lin Xiaodou was a little confused throughout the whole process.
No, why are these people so enthusiastic?
In the period literature she had read before, the old educated youth were always annoyed by the newcomers.
Not only are they worried that too much food will be eaten, but they also dislike that they are a drag on the work.
How come this group of people are just the opposite?
Soon, Lin Xiaodou's doubts were answered.
Someone asked her, "Are you the only educated youth coming to our Heishi Village this time?"
Lin Xiaodou: "No, I came back first by ox cart. The others are still on the way and will probably be here soon."
She also explained the matter of the old ox to avoid others from thinking too much.
After listening to her explanation, everyone nodded with a smile and continued to ask: "How many people are there among you?"
Lin Xiaodou: "11, 5 female educated youths and 6 male educated youths."
"Oh, that's great!"
One of the lively female educated youth actually clapped her hands happily.
Lin Xiaodou didn't understand why she was happy.
Until someone explained with a smile:
"You don't know, it's so tiring to open up wasteland and farm in these mountains. We often don't get enough work points."
The full work points are 10 points. The young and middle-aged people in the village can get 10 points every day, while the elderly and women can only get 8 points.
But the educated youth in the educated youth compound came from the city after all, and they were not so efficient at work.
Male educated youth could generally get a maximum of 8 points, while female educated youth's scores were lower, ranging from 3 to 6 points.
The work efficiency was low, and the team leader in charge of the educated youth compound was unhappy. He scolded the educated youth who received few work points every day.
“Well now, you’re here, you’re new, and you’re probably going to be worse at your job.
By then, the team leader will shift his focus to you and won’t scold us anymore, hehe.”
"You don't need to be afraid. The captain is just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Just be patient and it will pass.
When the next batch of educated youth arrives, he will shift his target. We all went through this."
Lin Xiaodou: ...
Is it still possible to play like this?
6!
