Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 123 The Dumb Lady of the Landlord's Family

Captain He watched as the members taught the educated youths.

Several educated youth were being watched all the time, and the pressure on them increased suddenly.

After a while, Captain He asked, "Have you learned everything?"

The educated youth nodded repeatedly: "I have learned it!!"

"That's fine, you all look carefully before you pull them out! If you pull the crops out by accident, your work points will be deducted!!!"

Several educated youths looked bitter after hearing this. They had just arrived and didn't have any work points...

They had never done farm work before, so they bent over cautiously for a long time before they dared to start. When others had almost finished plucking a long row of trees, they had just taken two steps.

I only dare to pull out the weeds I just taught you to pull out, and I dare not touch the others.

Captain He shook his head. He didn't know what was the point of sending city kids like this to the countryside. They were so slow and couldn't even pull out the weeds completely. If they were really expected to work, the rice would surely rot in the field...

Meng Pinghui's waist had been sore from bending over to look at the grass.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Captain He leave, and he couldn't wait to straighten up and stretch his back: "I'm so tired!!!"

After just a while, the scorekeeper came over and shouted, "Hey! The new guy, hurry up and work. Why haven't you pulled out all the weeds in the field? If you don't pull them out completely, your work points won't be counted!!"

Meng Pinghui curled her lips and had to bend down to work.

But he kept watching the scorekeeper, and when he saw him leave, he straightened up and started to slack off.

Look east, look west, but don't look at the ground.

At this time, the members were working in groups of three or four, except Gu Nuanyi, who was working alone on the other side.

Meng Pinghui curiously asked her aunt beside her: "Why is she alone over there?"

The aunt who was talking to her, her husband happened to be arrested and locked up for a few days, so he had been looking after Nuan Yi and was very unhappy.

"You new educated youth should not have any contact with her. She is the granddaughter of a big landlord."

"Ah?" Meng Pinghui covered her mouth in shock. "No way, she's the granddaughter of a bad guy! I almost rented her house. It's really terrible. Why are you still keeping such a bad guy in the team? You should send her to a farm for reform!"

The aunt curled her lips: "She has a backer..."

Secretary Sun stood behind Meng Pinghui with his hands behind his back and said quietly, "Gensheng, what are you talking about? Do you also want to be arrested and locked up for a few days? What backers? Just do your job well!"

“No, no, no.” Auntie looked at Secretary Sun with horror: “Secretary Sun, you misunderstood. I haven’t finished what I said. Although the Gu family was a big landlord before, they are now commoners. Haha, just like us, the same…”

Gu Nuanyi keenly heard someone mentioning her name. She looked up and met the eyes of her aunt.

Then I saw my aunt giving me a flattering smile, and then I quickly lowered my head to pull weeds, not daring to chat anymore.

Gu Nuanyi glanced at the person standing next to her aunt, and could probably guess what they were talking about.

It's nothing more than talking about her own identity. She can't make everyone dumb and stop talking about her. Just talk about it. It won't hurt her.

After experiencing the trials of two lifetimes, Gu Nuanyi is now in a very stable state of mind!!!

Secretary Sun looked at Meng Pinghui and said, "Meng Zhiqing, don't believe everything you hear. There are no bad elements or big landlords in the Third Brigade now. We are all of the same status. Now, get to work!"

Secretary Sun gave the aunt another warning look before leaving.

Gu Nuanyi quickly finished her morning tasks and went home.

Meng Pinghui didn't do much work, she just stared at others

Seeing Gu Nuanyi leave, he immediately shouted: "Captain, someone left early!!!"

Captain He came over immediately and asked, "Who left???"

"It's Gu Nuanyi! I saw her leave"

Captain He said speechlessly: "If you can complete the task early, you can also leave early!"

Then he pointed at Meng Pinghui's feet and said, "It's been a whole morning. Look at how much work you have done. How dare you stare at others?"

Meng Pinghui stretched out her hand aggrievedly: "I have tried hard, look at my hands, they are all blistered!!!"

"Who hasn't gone through this? Others can do it, but you can't, right?" Seeing Meng Pinghui about to cry, Captain He said bluntly, "Give me your two drops of cat urine and don't go back. If you can't go back to the city, then work for me honestly. If you don't finish the land allocated to you, you won't get any work points!!!"

Seeing Captain He's fierce attitude, Meng Pinghui also calmed down.

After finally waiting until the bell rang, Meng Pinghui quickly threw the grass in her hand onto the edge of the field and ran towards the Youth Farm.

Passing by Gu Nuanyi's yard, I smelled the aroma of steamed eggs and my stomach started to growl.

My steps quickened a bit, and I went straight to the kitchen when I got back to the Youth House.

I opened the lid and saw nothing.

The other educated youths also looked unhappy when they came back to see the cold stove and the empty pot. They had already digested the corn porridge they drank in the morning.

Along the way, we smelled the aroma of various foods. Now everyone's stomach is already rumbling.

Jia Peng looked at the cold stove and said, "The person in charge of cooking should come back earlier from now on!!"

"Come back early to cook. What about the unfinished work? Why are you here to help?"

Jia Peng: "Everyone has to take turns cooking, just get over it."

The person in charge of cooking today was Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "I'm slow at work. When it's my turn to cook, you'll have to wait until I get home from work!"

Li Shijun also said: "Me too!"

Others also said that they would come back to cook after work so as not to delay work points.

Jia Peng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since everyone has decided this way, let's do it this way from now on! No one should complain about not having food to eat after work!"

After waiting for about 20 minutes, lunch was ready.

I saw only 9 bowls of thin corn paste on the table.

Meng Pinghui asked in confusion: "Ah? No vegetables? I want to eat steamed eggs"

The one who was in charge of cooking was Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao said unhappily, "We just got here. What dishes are there? If you want steamed eggs, then bring out the eggs. Do you expect me to make eggs for you?"

Jia Peng finished the slightly salty corn porridge in a few gulps and said, "When I go to work this afternoon, I'll ask the team leader if we can open up a plot of land near the Youth Farm to grow vegetables. Going to buy vegetables with the team members every day is also an expense!!!"

Zeng Jia: “That’s a good idea!”

The others also finished the corn porridge in a few gulps, washed their own bowls and went back to sleep.

Meng Pinghui was lying on the bed. In her dream, she ate a whole bowl of steamed eggs by herself. She was so satisfied.

After waking up from the dream, I still feel the taste of steamed eggs in my mouth...
