"Too"
"It's a real shame about her martial arts skills."
"What's the pity? At worst, we can have her come over often and give these kids a good talking-to."
"No, that's better. This child is a young lady now; we can't ruin her reputation."
"The political commissar is right."
"Then what should we do?"
"Aren't there still Chief of Staff Chen and Shen Xi? They're both quite good. Besides, didn't you hear Chief of Staff Chen ask about Mianmian just now? Shen Xi and she were both taught by the same person."
"That's true! It doesn't matter whether she trains or Shen Xi trains these kids."
"There are still some differences."
When I went down the mountain to go back, it was just as the sun was setting and it wasn't dark yet. Considering that I'll take this road to get into the city in the future, it was the right decision.
If I weren't unfamiliar with the road and was walking a bit slowly, it would only take half an hour to cross this mountain once I got used to it.
“Li Zhiqing, where did you go? You left earlier than us, and you even took a shortcut back. Why are you only coming back now?”
Are you crazy?!
"What do you mean? Answer my questions honestly, or I'll report you."
"Go ahead and do it if you dare! But let me tell you in advance, if you're not afraid of going to a military court, then go ahead and report me."
What do you mean?
"Does he not have a brain, or did a donkey kick him in the head?"
How could you swear at me like that?!
"When you said 'I heard,' you specifically named names. Tell me what you meant."
"Li Zhiqing, you've misunderstood. Cai Zhiqing is just concerned about you; look how late it is."
"Is it late? It's not dark yet. Besides, who are you?"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Han Jiaojiao, I'm 18 years old, you can just call me Jiaojiao."
"Oh, is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to cook."
"It's okay, you're busy."
"What kind of people are they? Always meddling in other people's business."
"Jiaojiao, let's go back."
"What do you think Cai Zhiqing went there for?"
"You didn't understand what she meant by that?"
"Yeah! She just mentioned a military court. Who does she think she is? I have to go find her."
"Cai Zhiqing, don't you realize that since she dared to mention a military court, it means she came from the neighboring military region, so there's no doubt about it?"
"Then she shouldn't have."
"It's getting late, let's go back for dinner, otherwise it'll get dark."
"Too"
The next morning at 7:00 AM sharp, I arrived at work and heard the foreman assigning tasks for the day. Since I was new, I was sure I'd be last, so I was placed at the end of the line. When it was my turn, the foreman asked:
"When Li Zhiqing was there, he usually received a few work points for tasks."
"The team leader said that last year, we usually received 8 work points for a task, but during the busy farming season, we received 12 work points."
"How about I assign you a task worth 8 work points now?"
"Sure, no problem. By the way, Captain, if we finish the mission ahead of schedule, can we leave or take on a few more missions?"
"It will be all right"
"good."
While waiting in line, I thought to myself that I had just arrived at a new brigade and was unfamiliar with everything. I definitely couldn't just finish my task and leave. Besides, it was only the beginning of spring, and there was no pig feed to gather yet, so I could only earn work points.
Since that's the case, and the busy farming season is just around the corner, we might as well earn more these few days and then earn 14 work points a day during the busy season.
I should take advantage of this time to learn more about Xiangyang Brigade. If I can finish work early, I can earn 10 work points a day and then go and collect pig feed for 2 more work points, which will give me 12 work points a day. When the grain is distributed at the end of the year, I can get more.
Although I can grow food in my own space, who would complain about having too much food? Besides, I'm closer to Uncle Shen and Aunt Zhou now, and I can't bear to see them go hungry!
So when they officially started working, Xiangyang Brigade and several other educated youths saw the new educated youth working hard without complaining of being tired at all.
The members of the production team turned to look at the old educated youth again, but they couldn't say anything and could only shake their heads.
But the brigade leader really didn't expect that what the girl said that day was true. From the moment she started working until now, she has been just like a typical old farmer. When she does farm work, she doesn't seem like a city girl at all. If all the other educated youths were like this, it would be so much easier to manage them.
The other educated youths were still in shock, unaware that in the hearts of the members of Xiangyang Brigade, they were once again being called worthless.
When they found out, it was too late. From that moment on, all the members of Xiangyang Brigade stopped treating this newcomer as an outsider. Didn't they see how he acted just like them?
When the busy farming season arrived, they were even more surprised. This newly arrived educated youth could earn 14 work points a day, just like the men, and he didn't complain about being tired anymore. He was the first among the women comrades, which made the women comrades stand up straight even more.
After the busy farming season, when I finished my work early after earning 10 work points each day, no one would say a single sarcastic word. Even if someone said something negative,
You would hear: "As long as you can be like Li Zhiqing, earning 10 work points on ordinary days and 14 work points during busy farming seasons, you can also finish work early, and I, the brigade leader, will definitely not ask you a single question."
Upon hearing this, some people who could actually finish their tasks ahead of schedule didn't choose to stop working. Instead, they applied for two more work points and continued working. How foolish! Work points are food, they're money; why not do more?
However, to the surprise of the brigade cadres, they quickly held a meeting to discuss the matter and finally decided to clear the wasteland and plant some more grain. Although it was a bit late, there was still plenty of time to plant some vegetables or potatoes.
When winter came and the grain was distributed, everyone discovered that they received more grain this year than last year. After figuring out the reason, they realized that...
The following year, more and more people were able to complete their tasks ahead of schedule, so much so that the brigade would find a suitable piece of land to cultivate every year, and the amount of grain handed over increased year by year. No one could say it wasn't much, but an extra hundred catties was still a lot! For this, they were praised and named an advanced brigade, but that's another story.
When Cai, the educated youth, saw how capable Li Mianmian was, he thought that she would receive more grain during the New Year, and that's when he started having these ideas.
Several other female educated youths also had ideas. They wondered if they could get along well with Li, move in with her, and eat together.
Some of the men in the brigade who were of marriageable age also had ideas; everyone was eager to try and make friends or date Li, the educated youth.
But when someone asked Li Zhiqing the next day what kind of male comrades she liked, she didn't know that one sentence had blocked everyone's path.
