Quick travel: the life of smuggling is so exciting

Lin Xia had only been at ease for a few days when she heard some bad news.

"Team leader, what did you say? You have to go to work the day after tomorrow!" The team leader was also reluctant to come to the Sun family, but the team leader insisted that he must come.

"Yes, the autumn harvest starts the day after tomorrow. Even the elementary school students in the commune have to take a break to come back and help. How can you, an adult, just sit there doing nothing?"

"I'm so embarrassed!"

"Lin Xiaoqing, you have a low level of ideological awareness and are avoiding labor. You're still an educated youth. It's a shame that you're still an educated youth." He once said that Sun Changjian's boomerang turned around and stabbed himself.

"Hey, Captain, don't be angry. I look healthy now, but I haven't rested for several years. My body is broken and I can't do heavy work."

Lin Xia's tone softened. The team leader actually took good care of the original owner and never made things difficult for her in terms of division of labor, so she was willing to have a good talk with him.

The team leader didn't force himself to curse, but he still retorted, "I saw you running around in the back mountain yesterday. Don't use your poor health as an excuse."

"Team leader, I just went for a walk in the back mountain for a while. I didn't do any work, so I wasn't tired. If you don't believe me, let's go to the county hospital to see if I'm not feeling well." Lin Xia really didn't want to work. It was enough for Sun Changjian to do it. Anyway, she could eat her fill.

"Okay, I don't want to talk to you about this nonsense. You have to work. I'll assign you an easier job when the time comes."

......

"Well, Captain, just give me three or four work points a day. I can't handle more than that."

The team leader was speechless. Only a child would get such a small number of work points. He wanted to say something, but then thought better of it and left without saying anything else.

Xiaolin did have a hard life in the past.

The team leader is called Li Qingshan. He is usually responsible for allocating work in Shunxing Brigade and also manages the farm work of a small team of members. He has some authority to help Lin Xia get some easy work.

The depressed Lin Xia went into the mountains and angrily beat a few pheasants. The last time she did farm work was decades ago. The hardship she experienced then was still vivid in her mind. She really didn't want to do farm work.

Thinking that she needed to understand the ways of the world, she took half a pheasant to Li Qingshan's house and gave it to Li Qingshan's wife.

Li Qingshan and the others were shocked. Was such a large gift necessary? Even if he didn't give her a gift, he would have given her an easier job.

"If it weren't for the captain's care in the past, I wouldn't be alive today. Sisters-in-law, please accept it. I'll have to trouble the captain more in the future if I need anything."

Lin Xia was speaking politely, and Li Qingshan's wife was pushing her. The two sides were pulling each other violently. People who didn't know the situation thought they were fighting.

"Xiao Lin, you're welcome. We know your health condition well. Keep this for yourself."

"I still have half at home, enough for me to eat. If the team leader feels embarrassed, just give it all to Sun Changjian and find him a high-work-point job. After all, he has to support me."

......

So it was to mess with Sun Changjian?

Li Qingshan had always looked down on Sun Changjian, and after what happened some time ago, he looked down on him even more, so he agreed without hesitation.

The Li family felt a little embarrassed after receiving such a generous gift. Li's sister-in-law smiled and said, "Tomorrow, your brother Li is going to the county to pick up new educated youth. What do you want to buy? I will ask your brother Li to bring it back for you."

Lin Xia's eyes lit up, but she didn't have a ticket. She tried to ask her, "Sister-in-law, I don't have a ticket. Do you have any extra tickets? I'll exchange them with you."

It turned out that they really had the coupons, which were the cloth and cotton coupons that were in short supply in the city, but they didn't have the ordinary food coupons.

"You're out of tickets?"

There was a reason why Mrs. Li asked this. Shunxing Brigade grew cotton, so each household could get a lot of cloth coupons and cotton coupons every year.

Lin Xia recalled the memories in her mind, damn it, I’m going to beat up Sun Changjian when I get back.

Since the original owner went to the countryside, she had never seen the tickets. All of them were collected by Sun Changjian. She and Sun's mother ate coarse food and their clothes were full of patches. Sun Changjian changed his clothes every year and used the tickets himself when he got them.

"No, I haven't seen any tickets before. They were all taken by Sun Changjian."

The Li couple looked at Lin Xia sympathetically.

Lin Xia exchanged five feet of cloth coupons and two kilograms of cotton coupons. She had cloth and cotton in her space, but the coupons could be exchanged for other coupons.

Seeing that the Li family still wove homespun cloth, Lin Xia ordered two sets of clothes from her for a total of 5 yuan.

"Excuse me, sister-in-law. Brother Li doesn't need to carry my things tomorrow. I plan to go to the county for a stroll. Does the team's ox cart leave at the usual time? I'd like to ride with you then."

After eating half a pheasant, Lin Xia readily became close to the Li family, and the team leader immediately became Brother Li.

"There's no market tomorrow. The oxcart is going to pick people up. You don't have to go too early. I heard that their bus leaves at 10 o'clock, so it doesn't leave until 8 o'clock. You can go with the bus and go back and forth. You don't have to pay for the fare." Li Qingshan said that the bus would be shared tomorrow and he would not charge any money for the ride.

"Okay, thank you Brother Li. Will there be many educated youth tomorrow?" If there were many, there would definitely not be enough space for them to sit when she returned.

"This year there aren't as many as last year. Last year there were seven. I thought there wouldn't be any this year, but it's October and there are still three. Sigh~"

Li Qingshan sighed. The educated youth didn't know anything when they first arrived. They needed at least a year of training, and they had to be given food subsidies. They were always causing trouble, so the work was difficult.

"When the time comes, leave it to the captain. He's the best at managing people."

"Hahaha, that's true." Why didn't Mrs. Li think Xiao Lin was a wonderful person before?

Li Qingshan also laughed. Anyway, he only needed to bring the people back. If the new educated youth wanted to be assigned a job, they would go to the team leader. It was none of his business. He would just follow the arrangements.

next morning.

Lin Xia slept in today, a rare occasion, and did not get up early to practice.

She lazily turned over and got up. When she woke up, there was no one at home. The rice was still warm in the pot. She finished her meal just in time to catch the ox cart.

"Xiao Lin, I thought you wouldn't come today." Li Qingshan joked while sitting in the driver's seat of the ox cart.

"I got up late by accident. I was afraid I would miss it. Sorry to trouble you, Brother Li, to wait for me." Lin Xia's tone was full of embarrassment.

"It's not time yet, so it can't be considered waiting for you. It's still early to go now." Li Qingshan waved his hand indifferently, watched Lin Xia get in the car, and drove away.

"It's really inconvenient to check the time without a watch. I wish I could find a place where I could buy watch tickets."

"This is a rare item. Watch tickets are hard to come by. If you want to buy one, you can ask the people at the educated youth center. I see a few of them have watches. Maybe they have a way to get tickets. But Xiaolin, do you have money?"

Li Qingshan was very confused. Wasn’t the Sun family quite poor?

"Brother Li, you don't know, about that incident with Zhang Qiang last time, he felt sorry for me, so he insisted on giving me 198 as compensation, so I accepted it."

Li Qingshan was so shocked that he didn't look at the road. He turned around and looked at Lin Xia, "Really? He's so generous?"

"Of course not. Give me the dead piston. I can't refuse it. I'm really embarrassed to say that you're destroying my family."

Although Lin Xia's tone was sincere, Li Qingshan could tell at a glance that this was the same tone that Xiao Lin used when he beat up Sun Changjian and then turned around to say that they had a good relationship.

He understood that Zhang Qiang had definitely suffered a lot at the hands of Xiao Lin.
