Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 8 The Uninhibited Life of the 60 Educated Youths 7
In just one morning, the entire Zhangzhuang brigade knew that the newly arrived educated youth was a rich guy!
When Du Guowei returned to the educated youth settlement with Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Lijuan, whose faces were stiff, he was told that there was a large pot in their room and that Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu would be cooking separately. They even came over to ask him if he wanted to come out alone with them.
Psychologically, Du Guowei definitely wanted to fire alone with Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, but he also knew that if he were to fire with Ji Han, he would gain too much advantage.
Fortunately, Ji Han understood Du Guowei's predicament and spoke up before he could.
"Brother Du, it just so happens that neither of us has ever been up the mountain before, nor have we cooked much. We'll have to trouble you to teach us how to gather firewood and cook!"
Du Guowei quickly waved his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright. Speaking of eating with you all, I'm the one who benefits the most. How about this, from now on, I'll take care of the cooking and gathering firewood!"
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu certainly couldn't leave all the work to Du Guowei alone, but to comfort him, they didn't say anything more. They figured they could just help out when the time came.
While Ji Han and his two companions were cooking on their own, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Lijuan somehow talked to the two female educated youths in the next room. When they had dinner together that evening, Ji Han heard that they had joined the two female educated youths for a meal together.
The dinner party that evening was quite lively. Since no one was working that day, the older educated youths had returned from the commune in the afternoon and rested for a while before gathering in the kitchen and dining room of the main house.
To express their gratitude, in addition to their own food rations, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also brought out a bottle of meat sauce, and Jiang Xiaoxiao also brought out a bottle of refreshing pickled vegetables. Li Lijuan and Du Guowei, who had nothing else to offer, joined the other educated youth in the kitchen to help with cooking.
The former educated youth had a rare opportunity to get together, and they all contributed some of their personal treasures. In the end, what was placed on the table, besides corn porridge and steamed buns, included three jars containing various pickles and three stir-fried green vegetables. At least it looked like a decent meal.
Once everyone had arrived and the food was laid out, the first person to speak was Sun, the educated youth who had been called up by Zhang Dahe yesterday. Sun's full name was Sun Guofu, and he was 20 years old. He was one of the earliest educated youths to arrive in Zhangzhuang Brigade and was currently the temporary person in charge of the educated youth settlement.
The remaining seven educated youths were named Zhang Feng (male, 20 years old), Li Yan (female, 20 years old), Niu Fangfang (female, 19 years old), Zhao Jun (male, 19 years old), Han Zhaodi (female, 18 years old), Wang Yun (female, 18 years old), and Qian Duoduo (female, 18 years old) according to their ages.
In addition, there were two other educated youths who were also among the first to arrive, but after marrying members of the team, they moved out of the educated youth settlement. They were Sun Yang (male, 20 years old) and Zhou Qing (female, 19 years old).
After the veteran educated youth finished introducing themselves, it was the turn of the new educated youth to introduce themselves. Everything else was fine, except that these people were surprised by how young Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were.
On the surface, the meal went well, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Even though everyone had their own agendas, no one made them too obvious at the dinner table on the first day. Ji Han sincerely hoped that everyone could maintain this superficial peace.
The next morning, Ji Han was awakened by the clanging and banging sounds of washing and cooking outside. Just as he turned over to go back to sleep, he heard Du Guowei's loud shouts from beside him.
"Ji Han! Shi Shaoyu! Get up! Get up now! Today is our first day at work, we can't be late!"
Ji Han strongly suspected that if the porcelain basin hadn't been so precious at this moment, Du Guowei would definitely have picked it up and banged it a few times.
"Get up, get up, Brother Du, stop shouting, stop shouting."
Ji Han tossed and turned in bed several times before finally forcing himself to get up. By the time he finished washing up, Du Guowei's meal was already on the table.
Breakfast was still cornmeal porridge, plus two cornbreads each. At this time, cornmeal was not ground as finely as it would be in later years. The porridge was so hard it made your throat ache, and the cornbreads were so hard they could choke you to death. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu finished their breakfast with difficulty, put on the gloves they had prepared, and followed Du Guowei to the team's warehouse to collect farm tools.
In Zhangzhuang Brigade, the warehouse guard and the person in charge of distributing farm tools was a lame old man. Most of the team members called him Seventh Master Zhang. It was said that Seventh Master Zhang was also a soldier when he was young, but he was injured on the battlefield and lost a leg, so he returned to his hometown to make a living by farming.
Old Master Zhang never married. Now that he's getting old, the brigade's management team, after discussion, arranged for him to work as a warehouse guard and distributor of farm tools. This job is relatively easy and can be seen as a way for the brigade to take care of this retired veteran.
"You new educated youth, come this way, come this way!"
Ji Han was in line when he was called out by the captain's shout. When the five of them walked over, they realized that there were several middle-aged men standing around the captain.
"Alright, everyone's here. Who's going to do it this time? You can all come one by one."
Before Ji Han and his companions could even figure out what was going on, they were divided up by these men. Only after they were led away by their respective squad leaders did he realize that these five men were the squad leaders of the first to fifth squads.
As mentioned before, Zhangzhuang Brigade has a total of ten teams, and there were exactly ten educated youths who came before. Therefore, Ji Han and the other four were automatically assigned to teams one through five, and Ji Han was the third one to be selected.
Well, unsurprisingly, Du Guowei, who seemed hardworking and capable, was the first to be snatched up by the squad leader of the fourth squad. Shi Shaoyu was the second, snatched up by the first squad. Ji Han was from the third squad. As for the remaining two, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Lijuan, no one wanted them. In the end, the two squad leaders selected their squad members, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was assigned to the second squad.
At this moment, Ji Han had no idea that the squad leader of the third team was regretting it to the core. Looking at Ji Han's delicate face and fair skin, he felt that he would have been better off robbing a female educated youth!
If a female educated youth can't do the work, at least we can use the excuse that women are physically weak to assign her some light tasks. But... this Ji Han is a grown man. If he also wants to take on those light tasks, isn't that a bit unreasonable?
I don't know if I'll have the heart to yell at someone when I look at this face. Ugh, I'm so worried!
