Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 138 Digging Muck
It is said that Accountant Li has always disliked the educated youth. Every time he sees them, he has a gloomy face and ignores you when you talk to him.
The second batch of educated youth who came to the village was particularly large, with more than forty people coming at a time.
After the New Year, the first thing I encountered was digging manure!
Several male educated youth were assigned to dig the toilet pit for Accountant Li's family.
I don’t know how they dug, but they turned Accountant Li’s toilet overturned.
Then they kindly renovated Accountant Li's toilet, even replacing the two pieces of wood he stepped on with new ones.
As a result, a few days later, the wood that Accountant Li stepped on broke while he was using the toilet!
With a "plop", he fell directly into the pit, and the grass on top collapsed.
Fortunately, the toilet was frozen in winter, otherwise Accountant Li would probably not be ashamed to work as an accountant.
I don't know if it was intentional, but there is no evidence.
Those educated youth explained that the reason was that they had never done this kind of work and their skills were probably not up to par.
From then on, the villagers were unwilling to let the educated youth dig out the feces in their toilets.
They don't want their toilets to be turned over, and they don't want to fall into the toilets.
Accountant Li also disliked the educated youth even more and would take a detour whenever he saw them.
If he had not been allowed to do so, he would probably have driven the educated youth out of the village.
Yesterday, Xu Yan fell while delivering wood ash to the field. I don’t know how badly she was injured.
But today he refused to go to work and wanted to stay at home to take care of Xiao Xuehua's injury.
Lin Shaoyang stopped pretending to be sick and went to work with him.
After the manure at the educated youth site was cleared, Gu Qingqing was arranged to be a tool keeper and no longer had to dig manure.
This makes everyone envious. The custodian does not have to work in the fields. He only needs to collect and send tools every day and take the broken ones to a specialist for repair. The most important thing is that there is a stove in the house for heating.
This was the first time Jiang Yanqiu had officially come to the village chief's house since she traveled through time. When she came to pay New Year's greetings, she only stood in the front yard and left, and had never been to the backyard.
I originally thought that the village chief's family was well-off, and his three sons and two sons-in-law were promising compared to everyone else. No one would believe it if he didn't take money to manage the family.
I remember that in the book, Qiao Lei and the others wanted to give money to the village chief's family to get a teaching job. There must be some ill-gotten gains in the family.
However, when Jiang Yanqiu opened her divine eyes, she saw nothing in the front or back yards.
There was no chance to go into the house. The village chief's house had a total of three or four houses, each with two rooms. The three south-facing houses were next to each other, and the one east-facing house was occupied by her daughter.
Now the doors are closed. The village chief has gone to the commune, and the work is arranged by the third team leader.
The pig pens and cow pens here are all underground cellars to prevent the cows and pigs from getting sick from the cold.
The pig and cattle pens in that era were not cleaned every day like in later generations. They were piled up for a year before being cleaned, and there was a lot of manure inside.
As soon as they entered, the smell from above rushed directly to the top of their heads. Except for Liu Yuanda, Zhao Lanlan and Lin Shaoyang, everyone else retreated.
Looking at the expressions of everyone coming out, Jiang Yanqiu quickly took out a mask from her bag and put it on before going downstairs.
As soon as Jiang Yanqiu went down, she was stunned. She saw that the cow dung was shining with golden light, and the halo on it was still black. Was there really ill-gotten gains?
He's really good at hiding. I guess even the Red Guards won't be able to find him!
She had the chance to take the things here, and only he could take them. If she reported it to the Red Sleeves soldiers, and they took it away, no one knew who would get the things.
It would be better to keep it yourself and hand it in together later.
But what we need to do now is to dig up the manure first. Seeing that no one is coming in, Lin Shaoyang calls the three of them to go out together.
After they left, Qiao Lei said, "Zhao Zhiqing, let's stick to the old rules, okay?"
Zhao Lanlan said in confusion: "What old rules? I don't understand what you are saying."
She wanted to pay everyone to do the most tiring work like she did yesterday, but now she was at the village chief's house, in the middle of the village, with many people and gossips!
The key point is that there is so much work that two people cannot finish it in two days.
If someone reports them, they will be in big trouble. They are short of money, but safety comes first.
Qiao Lei was about to say something when Lin Shaoyang spoke first, "You can dig and push the manure yourselves. However, if you dig and carry it yourself, you'll still get one load of work points for each load you carry to the field. You can also choose to have some people dig the manure while others push it to the field. I personally suggest that the four of us who don't mind the smell will dig it out, and the eight of you who do will push it to the field. The work points will be the same, but if you disagree, you can choose to form a team or work alone."
Jiang Yanqiu thought to herself that I am a person who dislikes stench. I was just looking at the gold inside and forgot to react.
But she also wanted to see if there was a chance to take the things away while digging the manure, so she didn't express any opinion.
They were given a fixed amount of work points for digging the two pits of manure and wood ash at the village chief's house, a total of 300 points. It took thirteen people two days to dig.
Although it smells a bit, since it is a cellar, the cow and pig manure inside has not frozen into big stones, so it doesn't require so much effort.
The manure needs to be pushed into the cornfield, which is quite a distance. In addition, the road is slippery in the cold weather, so it is not easy at all.
Lin Xiaomei was a little hesitant in her heart. She didn't care about those work points.
The main reason is that they have done this work a lot in previous years, and digging manure in the pit is much easier than pushing manure to the field!
But she had no room for regret. Since she had some money on hand, she had followed everyone else and generously paid money to let Zhao Lanlan and others dig out the feces in the toilet the day before yesterday.
At that time, she just wanted to piss off Zhao Lanlan, but now she feels like she has shot herself in the foot.
Now if I regret it, I will lose face, and if I don’t regret it, I will feel at a disadvantage.
After thinking about it, he finally didn't say anything.
The others didn't have any objections. They would rather work in the snow and ice than in a cesspool that was dizzy with the stench.
After Jiang Yanqiu and the others returned to the cowshed, Lin Shaoyang arranged, "Zhao Lanlan, Jiang Yanqiu, you two will be responsible for putting the manure into the basket. Da Ge and I will be responsible for taking it out. We should be quick today and they should agree."
The three of them nodded, all wanting to finish the work quickly and rest early.
Liu Yuanda asked Lin Shaoyang with some concern: "Are you really okay?"
Jiang Yanqiu also stared at him, wanting to see how he would explain. It had been three or four months, how could it not be healed yet?
Lin Shaoyang said without thinking, "I'm not sure either. Let's try it first. This basket isn't heavy. We'll see if it doesn't work."
After hearing this, Liu Yuanda said, "If it doesn't work, just let me know. I can do it alone."
"Ok"
At noon, none of the four thought about resting. They all wanted to finish digging quickly and get some relief.
At lunch, Xu Yan was kind enough to cook a pot of corn porridge for each of them, which they could drink directly as water.
Just as I finished my corn porridge, a dozen or so Red Guards suddenly burst into the yard and shouted, "Is this Zhao Mingde's house?"
