Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

The next day, after the work whistle was blown for the second time, Liu Jingxue took the shoulder pads she had prepared in the space at night, put on a military water bottle and a shoulder bag, locked the door, and set off to work.

She first went to the tool shed to get the load, and then came to the drying dam to gather.

At this time, many villagers had come to the drying dam. When they saw her coming, whether she knew them or not, they all greeted her.

"Liu Zhiqing is here."

"Liu Zhiqing, you are so strong, is it really natural?"

Liu Jingxue quickly replied, "Aunt, it's natural.

Our family has a hereditary strongman heritage, and almost every generation has someone who has inherited it."

"Liu Zhiqing, I heard from the captain that you have been practicing martial arts since you were young.

Will practicing martial arts increase my strength?"

Liu Jingxue didn't even need to answer, someone next to her answered the question for her.

"Of course one can become stronger by practicing martial arts, but I don't think one can reach the level of Liu Zhiqing.

There are people from our village in the army, and they train and practice martial arts every day, but I haven't seen him suddenly become very strong."

"That's true. Our captain also came from the army, and he didn't suddenly become a strong man.

Practicing martial arts only improves your skills and flexibility, but does not increase your strength much."

"What good deeds did Liu Zhiqing's ancestors do to benefit their descendants and produce strong men from generation to generation?"

"Haven't you heard that Liu Zhiqing is the daughter of a martyr? Her family members are still in the army. Her family must be well off."

After a while, the people from the educated youth site also came. When they saw Liu Jingxue there, they all came to her side.

Chen Guoqing said, "Liu Zhiqing, now you are famous.

You don't know that after learning about your situation yesterday, the team leader of the first production team came to me specifically and asked me if I wanted to change my job and carry the load.

He also told me that if I have the ability, I should show it and not hide it.”

Zhang Pingan also laughed and said, "Cousin, don't talk about you, Liu Zhiqing and I are in the same production team.

After watching Liu Zhiqing's performance, our team leader also asked me if I wanted to change jobs.

I still remember the disappointed look on our team leader's face when I said I was not strong enough to carry the load."

Feng Chunyan said aggrievedly, "Aunt Cuihua taught me how to break corn, but she thought I was clumsy and looked down on me.

After seeing Liu Zhiqing walking very fast with his load on his shoulders, he became even more critical of me and looked down on me even more. "

Other educated youth said that compared with Liu Jingxue, they were all despised by the villagers.

Liu Jingxue felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to cause such trouble to other educated youth.

Seeing Liu Jingxue's discomfort, Zhang Yingchun came to her rescue and said, "You are just too dumb to fight back.

I am different.

Yesterday, an aunt asked me if I could be as capable as Liu Zhiqing and carry a load of corn.

I asked her back, Auntie, can you carry it?

She said she was too weak to lift it.

I told her, Auntie, you who work in the fields all year round can't even carry a load of corn, and you expect me, a city dweller who has never worked in the fields, to be able to carry a load of corn. Isn't this a joke? "

"After I confronted them a few times, other people no longer dared to ask me."

Feng Chunyan asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of offending them and making things difficult for them?"

"What are you afraid of? The work is arranged by the team leader, and the work points are calculated by the scorekeeper, not them.

Besides, they have no right to decide whether to share the food with me.

If that's the case, then what is there to be afraid of?" Zhang Yingchun asked curiously.

Seeing that Feng Chunyan was still a little worried, Zhang Yingchun leaned close to her ear and said, "You have been collecting firewood for two days, and I think you can see that we can't collect enough firewood to burn for a whole winter by ourselves. We must ask the villagers for help.

It doesn't matter who we find to replace it, so why not find someone who works with us?

Give someone a slap in the face and then give them a sweet date, and they won’t hold a grudge against you.

If that person doesn't know what's best for him, he won't look for them for such good things in the future."

Feng Chunyan's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "I don't have much money, and I have to save it to buy food, so I can't exchange it for firewood."

"Can you cook?" Zhang Yingchun asked.

Feng Chunyan replied, “Yes.”

"I can't cook this kind of big pot meal." Zhang Yingchun said, "How about we make a deal.

When it was my turn to cook these past few months, you did it for me.

As a reward, I will buy back the firewood you have been providing for the past few months."

"You won't lose money on this deal. It's my turn to cook only four or five days a month.

After half a year, it’s only about thirty days.

But I need to buy you six months' worth of firewood." Zhang Yingchun whispered to Feng Chunyan.

Feng Chunyan thought about it carefully and decided that she would not lose money in this deal.

My family doesn’t give me much money, and it will be impossible for them to subsidize me in the future.

However, I really couldn't get enough firewood for this winter on my own, and the other educated youth would definitely not allow me to not pay for it.

If there is really no other way, I can only use the limited money I have to buy firewood.

Zhang Yingchun's suggestion really solved his urgent problem.

After thinking it over, she nodded, "Okay."

Zhang Yingchun was very happy when she agreed, "Then think carefully about which company you plan to exchange firewood with.

I will pay you then."

She had already found out yesterday that the ration of firewood that each educated youth had to provide this winter could be exchanged for a little over three yuan.

She paid Feng Chunyan a little over three dollars to cook for her three meals a day for about thirty days, so she didn't lose out.

Even if the two of them talked together, they could still be heard by the people around them.

Liu Zhaodi thought about the work points she had earned this year. The food she was given was not enough for a year. She said,

"Zhang Zhiqing, I can also help you cook."

Zhang Yingchun looked at her strangely, "Didn't you gather all the firewood a long time ago?"

Liu Zhaodi shook her head. "I don't need you to help me change the firewood. I will cook for you. Just give me the money."

As long as I can get the money, I can buy more food and eat more.

Feng Chunyan suddenly became nervous, fearing that Zhang Yingchun would leave her aside and make a deal with Liu Zhaodi.

But she didn't dare to ask Zhang Yingchun to continue trading with her.

Judging from the situation in the past two days, Liu Zhaodi is just like himself, with a poor family background and no money.

But she is a powerful person who likes to take advantage of others. In the past two days, she has had sex with several people at the educated youth site.

If I offend her, she will probably cause me trouble in the future.

Feng Chunyan clenched her fists and stared at Zhang Yingchun, waiting to see what choice she would make.

Zhang Yingchun frowned, "I dare not give you money. What if someone reports me and says I am a capitalist?"

"Then you still let Feng Zhiqing help you cook, and you change the firewood for her?"

"Yes, we are helping each other, and we don't have any financial dealings.

We are all educated youth who went to the countryside, and we should help each other.

Others can't report us for this.

If this is true, then no matter where we go, we are always right."

Liu Zhaodi choked and said, "Then you also went to the villagers to exchange firewood, didn't you spend money too?"

“Then you also went to the villagers to exchange food.

Are you allowed to exchange food but I am not allowed to exchange firewood?

Are you planning to report the villagers?" Zhang Yingchun said in surprise, "Are you planning to stay in the village?"

She has learned a lot about Liu Zhaodi after living in the educated youth camp these days, and she really doesn't want to bother with her.

If I let her get entangled with me, she will definitely take advantage of me.

If you pay her to cook for you, she will definitely ask for money first and then do the job. After she gets the money, she will have a bunch of reasons not to cook for you.

She is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

On the contrary, Feng Chunyan seems to be a good person these days. She will definitely do what she promised.

When Liu Zhaodi was rejected by Zhang Yingchun, she just looked at the two of them hatefully, her eyes rolling around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The educated youth who saw this scene nearby had different expressions.

Liu Jingxue stood aside and watched the show quietly.
