Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

The male educated youth were discussing countermeasures in the dormitory. Ermao said:

"If you ask me, if we don't go, can Wang Long still tie us up and force us to go?"

"It's clearly revenge against me. Screw it, I'll just lie on the kang."

There are also different opinions. For example, Qian Zhimin and Cao Gang come from ordinary families. Their families are not rich. Not to mention subsidies from their families, they send money home for subsidies, but they are willing to go.

"Repairing the reservoir is tiring, but I get paid and provided with food. I think it's doable!"

"I'd like to go too."

Finally, Zhong Yuemin spoke,

"This isn't a difficult problem to solve. Cao Gang and Qian Zhimin, if you're willing to go, then do your job well. Zheng Tong and Ermao, if you're not willing, then just go and slack off. You can even get free meals. Come openly. If our team's progress slows down, it'll be Wang Long who'll be criticized. If you guys don't want to go back, he'll have to come and beg you to come back, right?"

"That's a good idea, Yuemin. You're really good at scheming people."

Zhong Yuemin said, "But we still have to be careful, especially when blasting rocks. Stay away. This is no joke."

The next day, the team went to Baiyashan Reservoir. When we got there, we saw a huge crowd of people, colorful flags flying, and a sea of ​​people. There were also a lot of banners and slogans hanging.

"Water conservancy is the lifeline of agriculture", "Fight against heaven and earth to rebuild the mountains and rivers", "Develop water conservancy to ensure stable and high yields", "Work hard, work smart, and dare to change the world", etc.

There are trucks coming in and out pulling stones, but not many. Right now it's all pure labor, with almost no mechanical equipment. The carts loaded with earth are densely packed, extending from the bottom of the dam to the top of the dam. Elite soldiers from various communes and brigades are drawn in. Some are holding pickaxes, hoes, and hoes to dig the earth, while others are carrying loads on their shoulders. They are working hard, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. You would feel embarrassed to be lazy here.

Zhong Yuemin said:

"Uncle Yang, this isn't a major renovation. Look at the scale. They're just rebuilding a reservoir."

Yang Min nodded. He was appointed by Wang Long as the head of the Wangjiagou Brigade for the Baiyashan Reservoir overhaul.

"Almost. The Baiyashan Reservoir has been built for some time. Experts from the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau came to inspect it and classified it as a Class III dam. The dam and the surrounding hillsides have been hollowed out by ants, and it could collapse at any time. We are already short of water in northern Shaanxi. The Baiyashan Reservoir flows through three or four communes and more than a dozen brigades downstream. The few crops we have rely on it for irrigation. If the dam collapses, everyone will starve."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Zheng Tong and the others:

"I know you kids from Beijing are all unhappy and dissatisfied with Secretary Wang, but now that you're here, you're not allowed to play tricks on me. You have to work hard and no one is allowed to slack off. Do you understand?"

Luo Jianguo was the most enthusiastic and responded immediately, "Uncle Yang, I will do my best and will never embarrass you. Just wait and see what Zheng Tong, Ermao, Kui Yong... are doing? Don't just stand there, say something."

Several people looked at him with disdain, saying, "Damn it! You're trying to please your future father-in-law, and we brothers have to cooperate with you. You're inhumane to the opposite sex." However, they still nodded in agreement.

For the work on the reservoir, each brigade had its own division of labor and sections. After all, there were too many people, probably tens of thousands. Without a specific division of labor, things would be a mess. Their Wangjiagou Brigade construction site was on a slope south of the dam. The basic work process was to pick up earth from the bottom, then transport it to the south slope, compact it, pile it up layer by layer, and finally press it with big stones and pour cement until it meets the requirements.

The educated youth looked at the slope and were confused. How long would it take to finish carrying the soil? But since they were already here, they couldn't back down. Let's get started. Zheng Tong and Ermao originally wanted to be lazy and put less soil in the basket to make it easier to carry the soil. They would take their time on the road and get through the day. With so many people, Captain Yang couldn't follow them around and supervise them, right? But after these three or four trips, they didn't dare to be lazy anymore. It wasn't because they were scolded by their leaders, but because they were embarrassed. They were just a few grown men, wandering around like this, among the people who were working hard and enthusiastically.

Especially eye-catching!

When I met someone, they would enthusiastically say, "Little kid, are you too tired to carry it? If not, take a break!"

"If you don't share some with me, I'll help you choose!"

Not only can the men not compete, there are also female members on the construction site, and they have set up a special team called Stone Girl. As the name suggests, they are the vanguard of the reservoir construction, always rushing to the front. The Stone Girl Team carries earth, and their two baskets are full. They walk fast, and they don't feel tired at all after one trip. It is a sharp contrast.

The girl even said, "Can you do it? Let me help you. Go slowly. The girls from Beijing are so delicate. They look like girls..."

This is unbearable. People are easily influenced by the surrounding environment. Just like now, they have become outliers, and they feel guilty. If they don't work hard, they feel sorry for the world, sorry for their parents, and sorry for the elders and fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi.

It’s a huge sin!

After coming back from work on the first day, Zheng Tong and Ermao, who had been complaining about being lazy, were the most enthusiastic in their work. They were as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They returned to the dormitory and lay down on the kang directly, not wanting to do anything. Even if there was a naked beautiful woman lying next to them, they would not be tempted and would not have any evil thoughts.

"Zheng Tong, come out, Zheng Tong..."

"Don't lie there like a corpse," Luo Jianguo patted him on the shoulder, "Your partner is looking for you, go quickly."

Zheng Tong struggled to get up, got off the kang and left the cave.

"Jiang Biyun, what's the matter?"

Jiang Biyun handed over a bottle of bruises and sprains medicine.

"You fell today, here, wipe it, the wound will heal faster."

Zheng Tong happily took it. He had been chasing this girl for so long and finally got some reward.

"Biyun, if you agree to date me, this little injury won't matter. It will heal tomorrow."

"You'll be so beautiful!" Jiang Biyun said angrily.

"I'm giving you the potion, don't think too much about it. I'm just trying to help you recover faster. Don't bring shame to our Wangjiagou. I've heard about your 'great achievements' at the reservoir construction site. You're not even as good as a woman. How dare you do that?"

"Jiang Biyun, I'm not insulting you. If you don't believe me, go to the construction site and see for yourself tomorrow. Those stone girls' vanguards are amazing. They're all strong and muscular. Their arms are as tall as your thighs. They speak loudly and gruffly. If they had some beards, they'd be more manly than men, and even more macho. Who could stand up to them? Strictly speaking, we were defeated by 'men' today. Isn't that unfair?"

"If anyone hears what you say, the men will beat you to death. Go away!"

"Hey, Biyun, I just said that you should consider it. This opportunity is rare. A handsome scholar like me is in great demand. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

He never gives up and is very thick-skinned.

Jiang Biyun chuckled and gave him three words.

“It’s really small!”
