After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pampered Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Picking stones

“Look at these female educated youths, their little faces are as white as if they had flour slapped on their faces.”

 “Can people with thin arms and legs like them be able to move around?”

“Our brigade is not the first group of educated youths to come here. We have to let them do all the activities they want to do. If they don't do the work, they won't get food.”

"These educated youths are well-educated and know how to hang book bags from their mouths. Unfortunately, they are not very good at work."

“Don't look at me now, look at me in two years, I'm sure I'll be African like us.”

 A group of sisters-in-law burst into laughter.

“But I'm afraid they will have to hold us back.”

“What can we do?

 Fortunately, there are only eight female educated youths this year. You know, in the first year, there were 25 female educated youths on our team. At that time, we almost made the captain's nose crooked. "

 “I wasn't Captain Zhou at that time.”

“Yes, I was the old captain at that time, but you don't know that the female educated youth still had orchid fingers on her hands when she was working.

That weird look almost made us laugh crazy. "

 “That's enough to make a fool of yourself.”

　　A group of sisters-in-law did not shy away and pointed at them. The female educated youth felt ashamed and angry, but unfortunately they had no power to resist.

 The sisters-in-law and aunts across the street total more than 100 people.

 The disparity in strength means that even if they try to struggle, they have no chance of winning.

At this moment, many educated young women think that Liu Zhiyan's broken arm is a good thing.

　　Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui are both leaning against Xia Zhi now.

“Xia Zhi is really shameful. They say these things in front of us.”

Fang Xiaoya feels that being judged by others like this is simply the greatest shame in her life.

“These sisters-in-law have no bad intentions, and it is obvious to all that we female educated youths cannot work.

 Don't feel that there is any obstacle in your heart. What people are telling is the truth, not lying or spreading rumors.

 Slowly you will be able to accept it.

 Actually, these aunts and sisters-in-law are pretty good people. "

 Xia Zhi's words obviously cannot be recognized by other female educated youths.

The handsome-looking Li Yulan couldn't help but argue.

“Who said we can't do the work? They can do it, so why can't we do it?

 They are all one person, with two eyes and one mouth. "

“Okay, I'm going to tell you that you are not convinced right now. After we get to the place, you can start working. Let's see if you still have the courage. If you are not convinced.”

 Xia Zhi didn't say anything more.

The truck arrived at its destination very quickly, mainly because the road here is flat. Although the road condition is not good, there is a lot of flat land here.

 I jumped out of the car with my face covered in dust.

Jiang Yifan named the seven female educated youths and Liu Qianjin, and a total of eight people were assigned to carry the stones.

 At the moment, there are very few mechanical equipments, and most of them are solved manually.

 Handwheels or poles are used to carry stones.

A carrying pole carries a basket on both ends. The basket is very deep, and each basket contains at least seventy or eighty kilograms of stones.

  In other words, an adult labor force has to transport at least nearly 200 kilograms of stones at a time.

Don't be surprised. The predecessors of that era carried things on their shoulders and carried them with their hands. In this way, they built the modern society bit by bit.

 People in this era can endure hardships and are not afraid of getting tired.

　　Many people were relieved when they saw the carrying stones. It was obvious that everyone knew how to use the carrying pole.

 Xia Zhi said nothing and received his own carrying pole and basket.

 Liu Qianjin followed Xia Zhi. The two men came to the pile of stones carrying poles.

Sister-in-law Guixiang couldn't help but smile when she saw the two people placing the basket in front of her neatly.

“It seems that you two are very diligent and not lazy at all.”

“Sister-in-law, build the road as soon as possible to create a happy life for all of us.

 The captain reminded us before he came that if we are lazy, our food intake will be halved. "

Xia Zhi smiled and whispered, this was not told to her by Zhou Zhengan, but from her experience in her previous life.

Don't think that if you work here, no one will notice you if you are lazy.

 No one said it, absolutely no one said it, but when it comes to eating, the master chef in the cafeteria will cut corners for you.

 The masses have sharp eyes, and this applies absolutely everywhere.

As expected, Guixiang's sister-in-law burst out laughing when she heard this.

“Hey girl, you are really a funny person, you know that. Good job, I heard there will be croquettes tonight.

We rarely have a meal of croquettes here. I guess the captain is trying to improve the lives of you newly arrived educated youths, so as not to scare you away on the first day. "

“Sister-in-law, my name is Xia Zhi, what should I call you?”

Sister-in-law Guixiang felt good about the female educated youth in front of her, and she was not at all squeamish.

Moreover, she is willing to talk to country folk like them who cannot read a single word. This alone is much better than other female educated youths with eyes on the top of their heads.

“You called me Sister-in-law Guixiang. By the way, why didn't you, a young man like you, go build the canals instead of building the road with the female educated youth?”

Sister-in-law Guixiang glanced at Liu Qianjin, who was following Xia Zhi closely.

“Sister-in-law, the captain assigned him here. This Comrade Xiao Liu is very strong and is not lazy at work. Even though he had a fever when he was a child, he is like a child here.”

 Xia Zhi pointed to his head.

Sister-in-law Guixiang understood immediately and looked at Liu Qianjin with a bit of sympathy.

“Oh, no wonder Captain Zhou asked him to come over. He can't do this at the dam, and something could easily happen.”

Sister-in-law Guixiang specially left her hand.

　　The first time I carried a pole during the summer solstice, I was afraid that the female educated youth would not be able to lift it.

　　When filling the basket with stones, put fewer stones.

 “Sister, pick it up and go.”

 At Xia Zhi, I tried a pole.

　　Not to mention that picking up the pole again is still a bit tricky.

 After wandering for a few times, I finally picked it up.

Helding a pole, he walked forward holding a rope with one hand.

　　After swaying for a few times, it finally stabilized.

“Okay, Xiaoxia, you can carry the pole in a decent manner.”

Sister-in-law Guixiang was originally worried at the back, but unexpectedly the pole shook twice, and Xiaoxia immediately stabilized the pole.

“Sister-in-law Guixiang, don't worry, I've done it at home, but I haven't done it in the past two years, so I'm a bit inexperienced.”

 “Just get used to it.”

Liu Qianjin carried more than 200 kilograms of stones without any burden at all. Not only did he walk steadily, but he also walked fast.

 Originally, everyone was a little unhappy that Liu Qianjin, a **** man, had to squeeze into a group of women to do such a woman's work.

 But now I saw that Liu Qianjin was not lazy at all, he was just carrying two to three hundred kilograms of stones by himself.

 They can't do it.

These sisters-in-law and aunts are all hard-working people. In their eyes, anyone who can work and is strong is a good person.

Although everyone knows that Liu Qianjin is not very smart, Liu Qianjin has become a treasure among a group of ladies.
