"It is said that this is how work is done. After a long time, when calluses appear on your hands, you get used to it. Can you still stick to it now?" Yun Siying understood him. How could a person who had never done farm work adapt on the first day?
"Okay, I need to take a break. I'm sorry for putting you in the same group with me. Look at my working speed. I'm afraid we won't get a few points today." Lin Zikang said guiltily.
"It's okay, I can do the work." Yun Siying was full of concern.
Lin Zikang? If I had seen your quick movements, I would have almost believed it. Never mind, I'll just blame myself for dragging her down.
Yun Siying looked at the sweat on his forehead, the blisters on his palms, and the gradually scorching sun in the sky. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she wore a hat, otherwise if she stayed in the sun for a long time like this, she would definitely get tanned in a few days. This farm work, facing the loess and back to the sky, was really tiring. She just wanted to laze around and find a chance to ask the team leader to switch to cutting grass for pigs.
In the eyes of the team leader, although the two educated youths worked slowly, they showed their attitude, did not complain or cry, did not make any other trouble, and did not blame the team for arranging easy work for them.
Even though Yun Siying was sitting on the stone to rest, she did not stop absorbing the supernatural factors. She watched Lin Zikang digging the wasteland for a while and then resting for a while. After two hours, the blisters on his palms broke and he gasped in pain, but he still insisted on continuing to work.
Yun Siying would repair the chain for a while and do some chores to keep up with Lin Zikang's reclamation speed. Shu Ruxue looked at her several times during these two hours. At this time, she finally couldn't help but said, "Siying, how can you let Lin Zhiqing keep digging the ground? Switch with him. We are all educated youth who came to the production team together. We should help each other. How can you be so selfish?"
Yun Siying then noticed that she and Shen Mubai took turns doing the work, and she was the one digging the ground most of the time. Seeing Yun Siying's relaxed look, she was somewhat used to it.
The surrounding villagers heard Shu Ruxue's words. Although they did not stop what they were doing, they all pricked up their ears and listened to what the two were saying. They knew the grudge between the two.
"You live by the sea?" Yun Siying looked at her quietly and asked slowly.
"What? I live by the sea, and you're asking even though you already know the answer." Shu Ruxue was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Yun Siying asked such an abrupt question, and she was obviously unhappy.
"You're so nosy. My partner didn't say anything. You're just meddling in other people's business." Yun Siying continued to speak anxiously, with no change on her face from beginning to end.
"You are so sharp-tongued and are trying to find excuses for yourself to avoid working." Shu Ruxue was furious.
Yun Siying looked at Shu Ruxue who was furious, and thinking of how she often troubled her, she smiled and said, "Tsk, Lin Zhiqing and I obviously did more work and got more pay according to our status, and we didn't take up any public resources of the brigade in vain. But you and Shen Zhiqing, you live in a house built by the villagers of the brigade, but you don't pay rent and feel at ease living there."
When the villagers heard this, they thought it was a good idea. They would have to pool their money to build a blue brick and tile house. They themselves couldn't even live in such a good house, so how could they let these two people get it for free?
"Yun Zhiqing, is what you said true?" Li Changhe, the leader of Group 4, was working far away from them, but he was also paying attention to their movements. After all, he was a member of his team, and he hoped that the two of them would cause trouble.
"Of course it's true. If you believe it, you can go to the Youth League Home to see where they live, and then go to the brigade to ask them if they have paid the rent." Yun Siying looked at the drastic changes in their expressions, and the corners of her mouth rose a little more consciously. She would take revenge, but she would repay evil with kindness.
"Shu Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, what do you two think?" Li Changhe's tone was not as kind as before. He looked at the two of them steadily. The other villagers also stopped what they were doing, waiting for their answers.
"We just don't have money at the moment, and we don't have rent to pay. Once the money arrives from home, we'll pay the rent right away." Shu Ruxue looked at everyone's kind eyes and said immediately.
"You didn't ask the captain for his opinion, nor did you write an IOU or rental documents, yet you can still speak so confidently. I admire your shamelessness. You two are planning to force us to rent and live here." Yun Siying's voice sounded again.
"Team leader, you have to tell the team leader about this. These two people want to live in our house for free. Is this possible?" said an aunt. She didn't expect these two people to be so shameless.
"We didn't live here for free. We will make up the rent later." Shen Mubai looked at the criticism in everyone's eyes. His face turned red. He should have listened to Shu Ruxue earlier. If this matter were to spread to the compound, he would lose all his face.
"You two are talking nicely. If you ask Yun Zhiqing to tell this, you are planning to cover it up." Aunt Hongying didn't expect Li Yinyin to change so much. She has been to the big city and has become more cunning.
"Hongying, I didn't expect you to succeed. What did you succeed?" Wang Yunfeng was listening to her friend's words and felt that what she said was very interesting.
Lin Zikang at the side said, "Auntie, you use idioms really well."
"Hahaha, I learned this from my kids at home." Aunt Hongying laughed proudly.
While everyone was talking, a villager came over with the team leader. Some people looked at the two of them and asked, "Shu Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, have you moved into the new house at the Zhiqing site?"
He had already told them clearly that they could not live there without paying rent. However, if the villagers made trouble, that would be public property.
"Captain, we will definitely pay the rent. We'll pay it in a few days when our family sends us the money." Shu Ruxue and the other two could only say this dryly, because they didn't have a penny on them right now.
"Shu Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, we don't trust you. If the money you withdraw is stolen again, who will bear the rent?" said a villager. He was used to the bad behavior of these two people.
"Yes, captain, I think we should let them write a letter of guarantee. If they pay the rent on time, we will deduct their points as collateral." A villager suggested.
"Shu Zhiqing, Shen Zhiqing, I'll give you two choices now: one is to move to the old house in the Zhiqing courtyard after you leave, and the other is that you can continue to live in the new house, but you have to write a guarantee. If you pay the rent, I can only deduct your cents as collateral."
"Captain, after we leave, we will go to the brigade headquarters to write a letter of guarantee." Shen Mubai said. He would lose face if he was asked to move to the old house now.
"That's fine." The captain did not embarrass the two, but looked at the villagers who were still looking at the results of the treatment, and said, "Okay, go work and earn points."
