Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward
Chapter 96 Propose a Job Change
Zhang Pingan and Liu Jingxue came to Li Jun, the team leader of the fourth production team.
Zhang Pingan asked, "Captain, what are Liu Zhiqing and I going to do today?"
Li Jun introduced to the two, "Our production team's task today is to harvest corn.
This job is not technically difficult, and you don't have to bend over all the time like harvesting soybeans or wheat, so it is a lot easier.
It means breaking off the ripe corn cobs from the corn stalks and placing them at the edge of the field.
Someone will be responsible for carrying the corn cobs back to the drying dam when the time comes."
Li Jun looked at Aunt Sufen and another male villager, "Aunt, Tiezhu, you guys should take care of these two new educated youth.
Teach them how to quickly break off the cob.”
Liu Jingxue had heard from her uncle and others that breaking corn cobs seemed a lot easier than cutting wheat or soybeans, but the corn leaves were hurtful and could scratch the face and body, tearing open the skin and leaving wounds.
She quickly asked, "Team leader, are all the people in our production team responsible for breaking the corn cobs?"
"That's definitely not the case. Most people are responsible for breaking the corn cobs, while the strong men are responsible for carrying the corn cobs from the field back to the drying dam.
There are people over at the drying dam who are responsible for removing leaves, drying and shelling the seeds.”
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she realized that someone in their group was responsible for carrying the load. She quickly said,
"Team leader, can you please not give me the job of breaking the corn and put me in the group that picks the corn?"
Li Jun glanced at her.
Although Aunt Sufen told him that this young educated youth Liu had practiced martial arts since childhood and was a capable person, he had not seen it with his own eyes and was still a little skeptical about it.
Looking at her small body, she doesn't look like a strong person at all.
She might be good at hoeing the fields, but carrying loads was not something he looked down on her, but it was really not something a female educated youth could do.
There were some female comrades in their village who were more capable than the male comrades, but they were just more nimble and quick in their work, so they could get the full ten work points like the male comrades.
There are no female comrades who carry the same burden as male comrades.
"Comrade Liu, I'm not looking down on you. This load of corn must weigh at least 100 kilograms.
You have to carry it all the way from the field to the drying dam. Are you sure you can carry it?
And this is not something you can do once or twice. If you accept this job, you have to do it all day long." Li Jun advised.
Liu Jingxue has no intention of giving up the idea of changing jobs.
A load of more than 100 pounds is nothing. For her, who has the strength of a thousand pounds in one hand, she doesn't feel anything at all.
Carrying more than 100 kilograms of items was nothing to her, she just treated it as a walk.
If she could be lazy, why would she bother picking corn in the cornfield and let herself be scratched by the corn leaves?
But looking at the team leader's attitude, if I don't convince him, he won't easily change my job.
When I showed up today, all the villagers knew me, and the news that I rented a house and lived alone would soon spread.
In order to avoid trouble, I must show off my skills to scare off those villains.
“Captain, you don’t have to worry about me not being able to take on the challenge.
To be honest with you, my family is full of strong men. My great-grandfather and my father are both strong men.
In our generation, my second brother and I also inherited this great talent. "
Seeing that Li Jun still didn't believe it, Liu Jingxue pointed to the large stone slabs on the edge of the drying dam and asked,
"Captain, do you know how heavy those slabs are?"
"The small one weighs more than 100 kilograms, and the largest one weighs more than 300 kilograms."
Liu Jingxue said, "Captain, words are not enough. No matter how I tell you that I am strong and can carry food, you won't believe it.
I'll show you something real."
Liu Jingxue pointed to the largest stone slab and said, "If I lift the largest stone slab and walk back and forth around this drying dam, it would prove my great strength.
Since I have proven that I can carry a load of grain, can you please change my job and not let me break corn anymore? Let me carry the load with the men."
Li Jun was surprised and said, "Are you sure you want to lift the largest stone slab? It weighs more than 300 kilograms.
Normally, it takes several strong men to lift it together.”
Liu Jingxue said nonchalantly, "It's only over 300 pounds. I practice martial arts at home on weekdays, and I've lifted heavier things than this before."
Seeing Liu Jingxue's confident look, Li Jun was surprised. Could it be that he really found a treasure this time?
He did not hesitate any longer and said affirmatively, "If you can really lift that 300-pound stone slab and walk around the drying dam, I will arrange a job for you to carry the load in the future."
Hearing what he said, Liu Jingxue immediately expressed her opinion, "Okay, let's make it a deal."
Liu Jingxue raised her leg and walked towards the largest stone slab beside the drying dam.
Li Jun also raised his legs and followed.
The others who had been watching the two people's conversation also followed curiously.
At this time, other villagers and educated youth followed their team leader to the outside of the drying dam, preparing to go to the fields to work.
However, this group of people did the opposite and walked inside, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
Someone shouted, "Why are you going inside instead of going to work in the fields?
Be careful, the captain may see you and cause trouble for you, and ask the scorekeeper to deduct your work points."
“Oh, you don’t know, we are watching a play.
But Liu Jingxue, the educated youth, didn't want to break corn cobs and wanted to choose the job of carrying loads on her shoulders.
The team leader said she couldn't carry the load and wouldn't let her do it.
I didn’t expect that Liu Zhiqing said that she was born with supernatural powers and wanted to lift the largest stone slab to prove herself.”
"What did you say? Liu Zhiqing said he was born with supernatural powers and wanted to lift the largest stone slab.
That stone slab weighs more than 300 pounds, and it usually takes several people to carry it.
She is a little girl and can lift it.
Don't talk big and make your tongue slip."
"Isn't it.
The captain doesn't believe it, and neither do we. Why don't we just go and watch the fun together?
If she didn't raise it, I would embarrass her."
"Then I'll come too."
The people nearby who heard the conversation between the two also followed over.
"How can I miss such excitement?"
"Are you not afraid of being seen by the team leader and having your work points deducted?"
"Oh, this kind of excitement that only happens once in a thousand years, how can I miss it.
If the captain knew about this, he would run faster than us and watch it more excitedly than us."
Liu Jingxue led the way, followed by a group of people who came to the largest stone slab.
She moved the backpack and military water bottle she was carrying behind her, slightly spread her legs and bent over.
He found a good position on the stone slab with each hand, and with a little effort, he lifted the stone slab up.
She stood up, turned around, and was about to circle around the drying dam, but her way was blocked by a group of people behind her who were staring at her in amazement.
