As soon as Zhou Jingjing finished speaking, the eyes of the surrounding villagers immediately turned to her.

Of course Zhou Jingjing also noticed those gazes, but she didn't understand what they meant and thought she had revealed something they didn't want her to know.

She snorted and continued to look at Song Guangming.

"That's fine," Zhou Jingjing said, "but you still treated them differently. You gave all the land with less grass to the people in your Qingshan Brigade, and the land with more grass was left for us in the educated youth camp."

"Why are we, the educated youth, so easy to bully?"

Song Guangming was so angry that he laughed when he heard her words.

First of all, there was little land in that village, and the villagers themselves had no food to eat, so they relied on the few work points they earned every day to survive.

The team leader was also biased. Except during the busy farming season, he did not allow the educated youth to go to work at other times.

When grain was distributed at the beginning and end of the year, the educated youth had no work points and could not exchange them for much grain.

Not only were they all starving and emaciated, but I heard that several male educated youth had used all their money to exchange for food, leaving them with only one set of clothes. After washing their clothes, they would sit on the kang wrapped in quilts and could not even go out.

Secondly, you say he is biased?

Oh, he is indeed partial.

Not to mention that on one side are the people who have been eating and drinking together on the same land for generations, and on the other side are the educated youth who rarely interact or talk with each other. Let’s just talk about the daily work. Have these people from the city ever worked harder than the villagers?

Just like the young intellectual Han who came last time, when he saw Xie Laosan carrying grain, he also carried it.

But after walking a few steps, I sprained my waist and had to rest for several days.

Not to mention the other male educated youth, they are all weaklings!

The women in the village are better than them!

He hasn't said anything yet. He gave them work points, but they are complaining?

You really can't give too much face to such shameless people!

"I understand," Song Guangming sneered, staring at Zhou Jingjing with his eagle eyes.

"You think I'm a bad person because I made you work, and you envy others for not having to work, right?"

Zhou Jingjing didn't say anything.

Although the male educated youth around him often complained about Song Guangming's uneven distribution of land, no one ever dared to say these words in front of Song Guangming.

At this time, when they heard Zhou Jingjing say that other educated youth who went to the countryside to work did not have to work, their eyes lit up.

Song Guangming noticed their expressions.

He sneered again.

But thinking that they have been together for more than half a year, I still reminded him, "Then do you know how many meals they eat a day?"

"I know, one meal a day," Wang Wenwen replied quickly.

Song Guangming glanced at her face, and then looked at the faces of the other educated youth.

Then, he said, "Okay, since you don't want to go to work, I will satisfy you."

In an instant, all the educated youth raised their heads and looked at him.

"From now on, apart from the busy harvest days, I will not restrict you at other times. You can come if you want to, and you don't have to come if you don't want to."

"I will never go to the educated youth camp to ask you to work again."

Song Guangming spoke very slowly, almost enunciating each word.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jingjing looked at Liang Qian with a smug look on her face.

As if showing off that he was braver than her.

If it weren't for her, they would have to continue basking in the sun!

"But," Song Guangming suddenly added, "I still want to emphasize the rules of our Qingshan Brigade again. In the Qingshan Brigade, we do not sell grain on credit."

After saying that, without even looking at them, he waved his hand and told everyone to go home.

Since hearing the news, the educated youth have been very excited. When they heard that they were going back, they also followed the main group and started to return.

Wang Wenwen and Qin Li have already discussed what to do if they don’t go to work in the afternoon.

"Wait a minute," Xu Yan, who had been watching the whole process from the side, suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's actions.

Song Guangming was in a very bad mood at the moment. He thought Xu Yan was going to say something he didn't want to hear, so he looked at her coldly.

"Captain," Xu Yan adjusted the straw hat that was blocking his view, and pointed to the place where Zhou Jingjing and the others had been working.

"How are their work points calculated this morning?"

If she hadn't said it, Song Guangming would have forgotten it himself. After hearing what she said, Song Guangming also looked towards the field.

Zhou Jingjing was surrounded by several male educated youths and talking to them. When she heard Xu Yan's voice, her expression suddenly changed. She glared at Xu Yan and said, "Of course it's five work points. We're almost done!"

"Oh, you're almost done," Xu Yan emphasized the word "almost," "but that means you're not done yet. How can you get full work points if you haven't finished yet?"

After saying that, he deliberately asked Song Guangming, "Are you right, Captain?"

"Yes," Song Guangming said immediately, "I have said before that you have to weed all the grass and pour the grass in the grass bag into the place where the grass is stored before it counts. If you don't finish it, you can't get full work points."

After saying that, he saw that Li Li was close to the ground and pointed at him, "Go and see how much is left."

There's not much left.

If you are quick and nimble, it won’t even take ten minutes.

"There's only a little left, Captain," Zhou Jingjing said quickly.

Song Guangming didn't say anything, pretending he couldn't hear anything, and kept his eyes on Li Li who had already rushed into the ground.

The place where Li Li was standing was where Ye Wei had just weeded. She had only done one-third of the work and the weeds she had shoveled were not put into the sack, but were all piled aside.

"Here, Captain," Li Li waved towards Song Guangming.

"That place is not ours," Liang Qian said anxiously, "That's Ye Wei's place."

Song Guangming didn't care about all that. Seeing the five of them coming together just now, he gathered them together and turned to look at them.

"I'll give you two choices. One is, do as I said before and finish the work, and each of you will get five work points. The other is, you don't have to do it, and I will directly deduct three work points from each of you."

As soon as Song Guangming finished speaking, Zhou Jingjing immediately asked, "Why?"

"That's right," Wang Wenwen disagreed, "There's only a little left, it's not fair to deduct three work points."

"Disagree?" Song Guangming looked at the five of them.

Qin Li shook her head like a rattle.

"Okay, then you guys just keep working. I'll come to check when you go back to work after lunch in the afternoon. I'll give you work points when you finish the work," said Song Guangming.

After saying that, he waved to Li Li in the field and said, "Let's go back."

The main force restarted.

The female educated youth stayed where they were.

Zhou Jingjing wanted to ask a few male educated youth to stay and help, but they acted as if they didn't hear her and just followed the crowd.

Xie Zhuo glanced at Xu Yan who was standing beside him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xu Yan noticed his gaze and raised his head and eyebrow.

Xie Zhuo didn't say anything for a long while before he spoke, "You're fine now."

"Hmm?" Xu Yan was a little confused.

"Don't turn into a dumb little girl again," Xie Zhuo looked down at her, "It makes people feel upset."
