The team leader had already sent two loads of grass before, and this batch is just enough to be delivered.

After Xie Zhuo and his men had packed the sacks, they saw a few more people in the field.

Several female educated youth at the educated youth point.

Zhou Jingjing and the others were moving at a pretty good speed. They were less than five meters away from the ridge, so it would probably take about ten to twenty minutes.

But Ye Wei is far behind. If he doesn’t go back for lunch today, he probably won’t be able to finish the work.

"I really suspect that the captain is targeting us on purpose."

Ye Wei suddenly raised his voice and said something.

There were only five of them in the field now. Hearing her words, Wang Wenwen turned around and looked at her.

Zhou Jingjing next to her had sweat all over her head and face, but she didn't dare to stop at this time. She wiped her face with her sleeve and continued to work with her head down.

Ye Wei drooped his eyelids but didn't stop talking.

"He deliberately gave the land with more grass to us educated youth, and the Qingshan Brigade got the land with less grass."

"Now they are pretending to be waiting for us, trying to make us think they are nice people."

Ye Wei snorted coldly, "If you are really a good person, why don't you come down and help us?"

"One of my fellow villagers lives in a village not far from us. She said that the leader of their production team took good care of them. He knew that they were all educated and could not do much work, so he usually gave them a little work as a token of his appreciation."

"Their days were really easy."

Ye Wei sighed with a hint of envy.

"On days like this when the sun is so hot, they don't have to go to work. They just stay in their houses and read books, chat, and play cards."

"It's just that I don't eat well. I only eat one meal a day."

The four female educated youth except Ye Wei kept moving their hands, but their speed was obviously slower.

Hearing her say this, Zhou Jingjing immediately responded, "How can you be hungry if you just sit in the house without working for a day? It's good to have one meal a day. It's not like us, although we have two meals a day, but we have to do so much work!"

"That's right," Liang Qian also added.

"I have been in Qingshan Brigade for less than half a year, and my skin has become much rougher than before. If I don't work and don't go out to bask in the sun, I can even go without food!"

"I can't go without meals, but I can also accept eating one meal and not working," said Wang Wenwen.

"But such a good thing will never happen to us," Qin Li also said.

"Well," Ye Wei nodded, and then said lightly, "It's just that I have no choice now, otherwise I really want to go to their village and not be treated unfairly."

"If nothing else, at least they respect people who read books."

Her words were undoubtedly the spark that sparked the fire at this moment.

They were already exhausted and the sun was too hot, and now they were the only ones left in the field. The others were all resting under the shade of the trees, and no one came forward to help them.

Zhou Jingjing exploded.

He threw the shovel in his hand to the ground, stood up and said, "I quit! Whoever wants to do it can do it, but I quit! Song Guangming is too partial!"

"That's right," Liang Qian also stood up.

As soon as the hand holding the sack loosened, the grass in the sack fell to the ground. "Why should we be given the land with more grass? They are doing the easier work themselves!"

People outside are still waiting.

Originally, they could have left after loading the goods, but the team leader looked over there and thought it would be easier to wait for twenty minutes and then move them all away at once, so everyone hid under the shade of the trees and waited.

But as they were waiting, they noticed that two female educated youth who were doing something unknown suddenly stood up and started walking out.

He didn't even carry out the straw bag.

Everyone is weird.

Zhou Jingjing and Liang Qian walked away aggressively, as if they had something in their hands that could judge Song Guangming. When they saw Ye Wei still squatting there weeding with her hands stained black by the grass juice, they called her.

"Ye Wei."

Ye Wei raised his head.

"Let's go," Zhou Jingjing said, "We are educated youth sent to the countryside to receive re-education, but no one has ever said that we have been excluded or bullied. We have to swallow our anger!"

"Yes, no one can bully us!"

Liang Qian's eyes began to blaze with anger after hearing Zhou Jingjing's words, as if she had really been done something by the Qingshan Brigade.

"If it doesn't work, we can go to the town's commune and file a complaint. If the town doesn't care, we can go to the city! I don't believe that no one can control Song Guangming!"

Ye Wei glanced at the two of them, then looked at Wang Wenwen and Qin Li who were following behind.

Finally, I put down my things and followed them.

The few people walked very quickly and it didn't take them long to get to Song Guangming.

To be honest, when they were in the field, Zhou Jingjing and Liang Qian had the loudest voices and sounded most like firecrackers filled with gunpowder. But now standing in front of Song Guangming and facing his dark face, their momentum immediately weakened.

"Have you finished hoeing?" Song Guangming looked at them.

Others looked at them too.

Liang Qian stood at the front and pursed her lips.

"Why didn't you carry out the straw bag?" Song Guangming asked again, his voice much louder than before.

Liang Qian was frightened.

She was really afraid of Song Guangming. She had been afraid of him before, so now that he asked her questions loudly with a gloomy face, she couldn't say what she had just said.

"Speak," Song Guangming frowned, "Everyone is waiting to go back for dinner."

At this moment, Zhou Jingjing suddenly took a step forward and squeezed in front of Liang Qian.

"Captain," she called Song Guangming.

Song Guangming really had no idea what they were doing. The work was almost finished and everyone was waiting for them to load the truck and go back for dinner, but they came here one after another for no apparent reason.

"Speak," Song Guangming looked at her.

Zhou Jingjing was actually quite afraid of Song Guangming, but when she thought of what Ye Wei had just said, she felt a little tougher.

"Captain, I heard that there is a village nearby where the educated youth don't have to go to the fields to work if they don't want to. Is that true?" Zhou Jingjing asked directly.

Song Guangming frowned.

"Is it true?" Zhou Jingjing asked again when she saw that he didn't speak for a long time.

"Yes," Song Guangming nodded.

The village that Zhou Jingjing was talking about was the poorest production brigade in the entire Qingping County.

That village is not like their Qingshan Brigade, which is located in a flat land with mountains and water.

The environment in the production team there was very bad. The entire village was on the mountain and the roads were difficult to travel on. Every time we went into the city, we had to set out before dawn and might not be able to return before dark.

There is little land and many people, and they are all on the hillside. During spring planting and autumn harvest, some lands are too large for ox carts to reach, and fertilizer has to be applied to the fields by carrying baskets on one person's back.

Even these days, people still die of starvation from time to time.

Song Guangming didn't react at first. Zhou Jingjing asked this because she didn't want to go to the fields to work.

"There is a village where all the educated youth have no work to do," Song Guangming looked at her, "Why are you asking this?"

"Why am I asking this?" Zhou Jingjing suddenly raised her voice. "Why can they, as educated youth, not work while we have to sit here in the sun?"
