Gu Qingning raised the corner of his mouth and continued to set fire, "The villagers of the Red Star Brigade have always been simple and positive, but it's because of you, a backward element, who is sneaky and cunning.
This is a disgrace to the team. If this gets out, how can the team be recognized as advanced? You are ignoring everyone's efforts."
Gu Qingning's words happened to be heard by the captain who came.
It's really good luck that I come at the right time every time.
The team leader thought that they had been ridiculed by the neighboring team over the years, not because the team members were not proactive, but because of these sneaky and cunning people who were holding them back.
It would be bad enough if Wang Ermei just liked to slack off, but she also caused trouble everywhere and increased his workload.
The team leader's face darkened. "Wang Zhiqing, stealing public property is a serious ideological problem. From now on, you don't have to work with the other Zhiqing on the assigned fields. You should go directly to collect manure. If you don't do it, I will send you back to the commune."
The educated youth who were sent back to the commune would not be accepted by the city. Without a food household registration, they would have to starve or even be sent to more remote places.
This can make you half full in the countryside, and you can save some for your family.
If she goes back, her whole family will starve and she will be beaten to death by her parents.
Wang Ermei's eyes were filled with fear, and she quickly said, "No, I won't go back, Captain. I was wrong. I was just too hungry and couldn't help but take a little. I will never do that again."
The captain's face showed no doubt that these educated youth were too lazy and liked to form groups, and they wanted to report him at any time.
Gu Qingning's thinking has improved. She knows how to consider the team. That's good. It will be different when she gets married.
The captain became more and more satisfied with Gu Qingning.
When the captain arrived, the Lu family didn't dare to make a fuss, fearing that Lu Weiguo would lose his job.
Her son absolutely could not go to the fields and dig for food like those peasants.
The people from the Lu family stood aside like quails, not daring to speak, their eyes looking as if they wanted to eat Gu Qingning.
Seeing the captain was indifferent, Wang Ermei looked pitiful and said, "Captain, I was really wrong. I will work hard to make up for what I took. I can't go to carry manure."
She is a city dweller, how could she do this?
Lin Xier stepped forward at the right time and tried to smooth things over: "Captain, this... isn't it too serious? Second sister is a girl. If she really goes to pick up manure, how will she live in the future?"
Gu Qingning looked at the idiot pretending to be a good guy, and said with a smile, "Captain, I also think it's too serious."
When these words were spoken, everyone was surprised. This person had a falling out with Lin Xier, so how could he be so kind?
Lin Xier's eyelids twitched and she felt a little uneasy.
The captain was a little dissatisfied. Why did they turn against him? He wanted to take the opportunity to teach these people a lesson.
Then, Gu Qingning spoke: "Lin Zhiqing is a united and friendly person with positive ideas. He is a role model for our educated youth camp. It is indeed a heavy task for one person to carry manure, but it is easier for two people. Lin Zhiqing is so kind, he should not refuse, right?"
Gu Qingning looked eagerly, as if Lin Xier would make a huge mistake if she refused.
There was a smile in Lu Changqing's deep eyes as he looked at Gu Qingning with indulgence.
Lin Xier's face twisted and she almost screamed that she would not go, but the Lu family was present, so she could only endure it.
Lin Xier said with a forced smile, "Gu Zhiqing, my second sister and I are girls after all, will this be inconvenient?"
Gu Qingning was puzzled. "How could that be? The great leader said that women hold up half the sky. You're denying yourself. This feudal dregs of yours is unacceptable. Asking you and Wang Zhiqing to carry manure is a recognition of you by the commune, the brigade, and everyone else. We hope you can take the lead and set an example for us."
How could I not want to pick up manure? Don’t even think about it.
Lin Xier bit her lips tightly, regretting so much that she shouldn't have spoken.
The captain looked at Gu Qingning with appreciation. Very good, your thinking has improved.
So the team leader made the decision: "From now on, Wang and Lin will be the educated youths carrying manure. This is the team's earnest hope for you. We hope you will not let the organization down."
Lin Xier and Wang Ermei looked disheartened and had no room for rebuttal.
When Gu Qingning glanced at the Lu family, they shuddered and felt even colder.
Then he looked away, but didn't say anything.
Old Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. This little girl was really weird and almost scared her.
Fortunately, she didn't dare to attack her mother-in-law.
The captain glanced at the people around him and said loudly, "Everyone, go away if you're okay. I have something to ask Gu Zhiqing and the Lu family. Do you still want to make trouble?"
Old Mrs. Lu quickly shook her head and ran away nimbly, and her two daughters-in-law quickly followed.
The others didn't dare to bring bad luck upon themselves, so they all dispersed.
The team leader sat on a stone bench in the yard. Gu Qingning brought him a cup of sugar water and also made a cup for Lu Changqing.
There was warmth in Lu Changqing's eyes.
The team leader went straight to the point and stated his purpose. "Gu Zhiqing, what happened to you in the brigade is very important to the commune. Did you see who pushed you that day?"
Murdering educated youth is a serious crime. What's more, if Gu Qingning died in the brigade, it would be difficult to explain, and his promotion would come to an end.
The captain hated the person who ruined his career very much and was determined to find him and punish him severely.
Gu Qingning shook her head and recalled carefully: "That day, Lin Zhiqing asked me to go to the river, and then I was pushed into the river. I guess Lin Zhiqing knew something, but our relationship...ah."
I don’t know if the original owner was too frightened, but this memory disappeared.
Gu Qingning couldn't remember anything.
However, Lin Xier, the culprit, should not think of staying out of it.
Even if it wasn't her, it was definitely related to her.
Now that there is no evidence, no one can do anything to Lin Xier, but we just need to plant a seed in the captain's heart.
She will catch the big fish at the back.
When Lu Changqing heard this, he thought of what Li Laosi said about Huang San, who really deserved to die.
Upon hearing this, the team leader's face turned serious. "I'll check with Lin Zhiqing and get to the bottom of this. You'll start working in a few days. Considering your lack of labor, how about giving you a different job? How about going with Xiaohua and the others to pick grass for pigs?"
Xiaohua is his daughter, who is eight years old this year. During the spring plowing, she goes to collect grass for pigs and sends it to the task pigs in the village, where there are special people to feed them.
There are three work points a day, and this work is done by children.
The team leader thought that after this incident, her health had worsened and she could not do any heavy physical labor.
Lu Changqing could support her with only ten full work points.
Gu Qingning finally smiled. "Thank you, Captain, for taking the trouble to make this trip. I also thank the organization for their concern for me."
After saying that, Gu Qingning took out a pack of Daqianmen from her purse and handed it to the team leader.
You still have to understand the ways of the world. The captain doesn't have much power, but he can disgust people. It's always right to take care of him.
