Chapter 71 Veteran Brother vs. Jiaojiao Educated Youth (11)

Jiang Li turned around and looked over, and saw Xu Yuanyuan holding a straw hat in her hand, which was exactly the one Lu Chaoli wore on her head yesterday.

After Xu Yuanyuan put on her own hat, she took Lu Chaoli's hat and walked over: "Xiao Jiang, are you wearing a family hat? Why do you look like a man?"

"Well, it belongs to my uncle."

Jiang Li took the hat from Xu Yuanyuan without changing her expression, then put it on her head and tightened the hat string on her chin like Lu Chaoli did yesterday.

Although a man's big straw hat was a little inappropriate on her head, it was better than nothing.

After Jiang Li arranged her hat, she followed Xu Yuanyuan out of the yard. Zhou Guoqing and others were already waiting in the yard.

Liu Jiayi and Li Zhixiu stood at the edge. After catching a glimpse of Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan from the corner of her eye, Liu Jiayi snorted and turned her head to the side.

Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan were too lazy to talk to her and walked directly towards the gate of the Educated Youth Institute.

"Let's go, everyone is here, I will take you to the fields together!"

Zhou Guoqing was the first to speak, then walked in front and took several people to the fields to earn work points.

There is no land distribution in Taohua Village. Everyone works together. In order to make the villagers more motivated to work, the village chief goes to the fields every day to assign tasks to everyone.

Those who work more will get more work points, and those who do less will get less work points. This is quite fair. No one in the villagers has had any conflicts over work points.

When Jiang Li and others came to the fields, many villagers were already working. The morning air was fresh and cool. The villagers liked to get up early and go home early when the sun would burn their skin.

A while ago, in order to earn more work points, some villagers worked in the fields on their heads at noon. Because the weather was too hot and muggy, they suffered from heatstroke that day. They rested at home for two or three days before they recovered.

Not only did he suffer a lot, but he almost collapsed. The villagers would never dare to imitate such a move that was not worth the gain.

Now I get up early to work when the morning is cool, and go home early when the sun is too bright.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Liu, are you here so early?"

After seeing those familiar figures, Xu Yuanyuan said hello to them.

On the day they first arrived, many villagers sent home-grown vegetables and sweet potatoes to the educated youth center. These were the ones who had spoken to Xu Yuanyuan, and Xu Yuanyuan recognized them at a glance when she saw the clothes they were wearing.

The villagers who were bending over to work turned their heads when they heard her voice. When they saw that it was them, these educated youth comrades, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them.

"A few young comrades are here. Have you had dinner this morning?"

Aunt Zhang was concerned about whether they had breakfast before they came. If they didn't eat in the morning, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

Lin Jiye, who was walking at the front, replied: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I've already eaten."

"That's good. There are so many of you, so we won't be able to eat many of the dishes we delivered the day before yesterday. When we're almost finished, tell Auntie, and Auntie will pick some from home!"

"Thank you Aunt Zhang! When we earn work points, we can go to Aunt Zhang to exchange for vegetables!"

"It's bad. They are all vegetables grown at home. We can't finish them all. Whoever wants to eat can just pick them. Don't be so disrespectful to my aunt about whether there is work or not!"

As soon as Aunt Zhang's loud voice came out, all the villagers in the field heard it and turned their heads to look back.

"Hey, who is this?"

Aunt Zhang looked curiously at Jiang Li beside Xu Yuanyuan, making sure that she had not seen this little comrade when she went back to the Educated Youth Center last time.

"Hello Aunt Zhang, I am an educated youth who came to Taohua Village with Yuanyuan and the others, but I had something to do and didn't catch the train that day, so I was delayed for a day." Jiang Li explained to Aunt Zhang very politely.

"Xiao Jiang, the fragrant and sweet sweet potato you praised yesterday was grown by Aunt Zhang in front of you!"

When Jiang Li praised the sweet potatoes she grew, she couldn't close her mouth with excitement.

"It turns out to be Comrade Xiao Jiang. If you like to eat the sweet potatoes grown by my aunt, you can go home with your aunt after noon and I will get some for you!"

"No, no, there are still a lot of them at the Educated Youth Institute, Aunt Zhang, just keep them to eat."

Jiang Li quickly waved her hands to shirk, but she couldn't resist Aunt Zhang's extra enthusiasm: "That's it, you and Comrade Xiao Xu will go home with Auntie to get sweet potatoes after noon!"

Jiang Li looked at Xu Yuanyuan next to her, and Xu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, as if to say: Look, the villagers here are so enthusiastic!

"And you guys, tell Auntie what you want to eat. Auntie has a big yard and has planted a whole garden of vegetables!"

Aunt Zhang looked at Zhou Guoqing and others with a smile, she really liked these young and polite little comrades!

Aunt Zhou also smiled and said: "I grow a lot of vegetables at home. You guys can just go home and pick whatever you want to eat!"

"Have you finished the two bottles of peach blossom wine I gave you the day before yesterday? Squeak when you finish. I will bring you two more bottles another day. They are all home-brewed. You can't drink them anywhere else!"

Uncle Liu looked proud when he mentioned his home-brewed peach blossom wine, not hiding it at all.

Jiang Li and others thanked the enthusiastic villagers. Although they were strangers to each other, they quickly got along with each other.

At this time, the village chief came all the way from other fields. Even though the village chief has a gray beard and is already sixty years old this year, he has flexible legs and feet and is full of energy. He can be seen everywhere in the fields.

"village head."

Zhou Guoqing and others said hello to the village chief, who walked towards them with his hands behind his back and looked around at the seven educated youths.

"Everyone is here. Come with me. I will assign tasks to you. This place is different from the city. You get money for working in the city, but you get work points here."

The village chief introduced and led everyone towards the fields in front.

"But you don't have to worry. There are places in town where you can exchange work points for money. When you go to town, you can exchange your work points for money and spend them."

"I know the village chief."

Zhou Guoqing and others nodded, followed the village chief and stopped in front of a field.

The village chief pointed to the field in front of him: "This is your task today. You kids are all from the city. I'm afraid you have never done such tiring work. If you don't understand something, just ask the villagers directly. .”

Zhou Guoqing patted his chest: "Don't worry, village chief, we will definitely finish all the work you have arranged!"

The village chief picked up the hoe and divided the field in front into seven pieces.

"Girls should work harder if they are younger, while boys should work more if they are more energetic. After completing the task, they will receive the same work points. Do you have any opinions?"

"No comment!"

Zhou Guoqing and others shook their heads quickly.

The village chief stroked his beard: "Okay, I'll go over there and have a look. If you need anything, call me."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, let me teach you how to use this hoe!"
