Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 45
Village Chief Zhao: "You think I don't know. Every time I bring an educated youth back, the villagers complain about me the next day."

"If you say I'm blind, I won't pick people. All I bring back are trash that can't work."

"But which of those young people from the city is not like this, saying that I have the right to choose?"

"Whatever you say this time, the two of you have to make a trip. I can't always bear this reputation alone."

Captain Liang took the cigarette pouch from his mouth and knocked it on the bench leg.

Then he lighted a pot again and began to suck slowly. When Village Chief Zhao saw his appearance, he turned his attention to accountant Zhang.

Accountant Zhang flipped through the ledger and said quickly, "Uncle Zhao, we don't have much food in the village warehouse."

"There is still more than a month until the autumn harvest. At this time of the year, everyone basically has enough food to eat."

"I guess everyone will come to the branch to borrow food in a few days, or else they won't have enough energy to eat during the autumn harvest."

"If you don't have strength, you can't earn work points. If you don't earn work points, you have no money and no food. If you have no money and no food, the villagers will make trouble with us."

"That's why I want to say that don't worry about the number of educated youths coming this time, they must not pay too much food in advance."

"We can't put too much food on the new educated youths, otherwise the villagers who don't have enough food will definitely riot."

Village head Zhao took a sharp sip from the pipe, yes, the autumn harvest will be coming soon, and the autumn harvest requires a lot of physical strength, so it is natural to keep up with food. If you don’t have enough to eat, you won’t have the energy to work. Therefore, the villagers who did not have enough food would come to the village to borrow food at this time. These educated youths ate a lot, but they definitely did not do much work. Thinking of this, Village Chief Zhao collected the cigarette bags.

"I'm going to find the educated youth to do the theory, and let them assign two educated youths to our brigade no matter what."
.
The new and old educated youths like Han Li didn't know that new educated youths would be added, and they were still working in the fields at this time.

This new educated youth will bring countless possibilities to their lives and break the originally peaceful life.

After finishing work in the afternoon, Han Li planned to go into the mountain and use the space to put the remaining tree trunks back.

Anyway, one of them has passed the Ming Road, and the appearance of the rest is not so conspicuous.

But as soon as he came out of the house with a basket on his back, he was stopped by the male educated youth team leader Sun Yong.

"Comrade Han, wait a moment. The village chief told me that a group of new educated youths will come to the village later. Let us be prepared. According to the past rules, we will cook a welcome meal for the newcomers today. Let's get to know each other. The three of you Although I moved out from the Educated Youth Academy, I am still an educated youth after all, you see?"

Han Li glanced at the captain of the educated youth. Did they forget the embarrassment they felt when eating the welcome meal?
Is this going to repeat the old tune and repeat the same mistakes?Thinking of this, Han Li despised them in his heart.

In any case, the educated youth is a whole in the eyes of the villagers, and it is not good for them to be too independent.

"I listen to Captain Sun's arrangement. You can tell me how much food you need from me, but I can't help with cooking."

Seeing that Han Li agreed, Sun Yong said with a smile on his face.

"There are lesbians who are cooking. How much food is needed depends on seeing the specific number of people. It can be given another day."

As soon as they made a final decision, Jiang Xiaoli walked out of Hao Hongmin's yard.

Followed by Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying who went out to see off the guests, it seems that they have also reached an agreement.

After saying hello to each other, the two educated youth captains, Sun Yong and Jiang Xiaoli, went back to the Educated Youth Academy.

Yang Xiuying: "Han Li, what are you going to do?"

"Originally I planned to go to the mountain to collect some firewood, but now I have to go to the river to collect some stones."

"Picking up rocks? What are you doing picking up rocks?"

"I plan to pave a path in the yard, otherwise it will be too difficult to walk after it rains or snows."

"Han Li, you are really thoughtful. Sister Hongmin, how about we go pick up rocks too?"

Hao Hongmin took her arm and said, "Han Li, go and do your own business first, we still have something to do, and we have to go to the Educated Youth Court to cook later."

Han Li nodded and walked towards the river. Hao Hongmin dragged Yang Xiuying into the yard and directly gave her a shovel.

"Let's dig out the yard first, otherwise it will affect the cultivation of vegetables."

Yang Xiuying: "By the way, Han Li said he would open the yard for us, let's call him to help."

A tangle flashed in Hao Hongmin's heart, and then he said with a serious face.

"Let's do these things by ourselves. We need to keep a distance from Han Li in the future."

"why?"

"Because I heard that some people in the village are already gossiping today. If we hadn't been acting together as three people, we might not know how those gossips would be spread."

"These people are real, don't we just go to the county town with Han Li to buy something?"

Hao Hongmin: "In short, let's be more careful in the future, unless you want to date Han Li."

"It's you who want to date Han Li, I remember last time you handed toilet paper to someone to wipe their hands."

"At that time, his hands were full of oil, and he couldn't wash it off when he rubbed it on his clothes. If I didn't give toilet paper, why would I give him my handkerchief?"

"I don't think so. How do you know that Han Li doesn't have a handkerchief in his pocket? What if he doesn't have time to take it out?"

"Ah Yang Xiuying, you actually made fun of me and called Xifa (Lu dialect, go to hell)."

Hao Hongmin's sharp eyesight and quick hands caught the opponent's itchy flesh first, and finally made Yang Xiuying sign many unequal treaties.

Yang Xiuying gasped and said, "Sister Hongmin, do you think we can hold on until the day when our family finds a job?"

"Didn't we agree before? Why did you bring this up again today?"

Yang Xiuying: "I'm just a little scared. What will we do in the future when we chop wood, carry water, and grind flour? Don't they gossip when they ask others to help?"

Hao Hongmin sighed softly and said, "Then when we have something to do in the future, let's ask Han Li for help. I'd rather trust Han Li than anyone else. After all, the three of us already knew each other on the train."

"That's right, I think sister Hongmin, you either heard it wrong, or you're thinking too much. If there are three people working together and someone is gossiping, how dirty is this person's heart?"

"People's hearts are separated by belly, how can we see through people's hearts, hurry up and dig the ground now."

In this unfamiliar country, there are many things that girls simply cannot do.

You can only pick half a bucket when carrying water, but you can’t just use half a millstone for grinding noodles, right?
If they could gossip if asking for help from others, why not ask Han Li who they are most familiar with?

At least Han Lichang was tall, strong, and good-looking, and his family conditions matched them.

So things have come back to the original point after all, but no one knows what the two of them think in their hearts.
