Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 396 Another way

The old educated youth inevitably recalled the miserable life they had when they first went to the countryside. They all had gloomy faces and felt that the road ahead was dark.

Although they were reluctant, they still walked over when they saw the team leader standing by the river with tools waiting.

"You all know how work points are calculated. Grab your stuff and get busy." The team leader threw the hoe and shovel in his hand to the ground and smiled sinisterly, "Don't think about being lazy, otherwise... your work points will be deducted!"

"Deduct?" Zhao Chunjiang was dumbfounded. When did they deduct work points? This was simply forcing them to die! "Why do you still deduct work points? You know that we don't have enough strength and work slowly. It's reasonable for you to give us less work points, but you say we are lazy and you still deduct our work points. This is not appropriate!"

"Appropriate? Don't you forget whose ground you are standing on? Why are you still talking to us about whether it is appropriate or not?" The team leader looked at Zhao Chunjiang with disdain, then sneered, "If you can't do it, leave, just like Jiang...those ignorant guys, don't come to work."

Okay, you said Jiang Yu and the others are ungrateful! I will go back and tell on them right away!

However, no one had such an idea at that time. Everyone was angry at the team leader's face. They did it on purpose to make things difficult for the educated youth. Anyone who dared to resist would face exclusion and oppression from everyone in the team afterwards. They calculated that the educated youth were outnumbered and could do nothing to them.

The team leader looked at their angry but unable to speak out, rolled his eyes in disdain, and then left happily.

A bunch of outsiders, dare to yell and shout, huh!

The remaining educated youth stood where they were, their eyes red with anger like fighting bulls.

"It's too much, it's really too much." Liu Qiang was furious. These bastards were so disgusting. He really wanted to force them to death.

Zhao Chunjiang was panting heavily. If it weren't for the remaining rationality that allowed him to control himself, he might have pressed the team leader into the river by now. He was not good at work, but he often went up the mountain to hunt, so he had some strength. Dealing with a dwarf who had not worked for a long time and was full of fat, wouldn't it be an easy task?

But he couldn't. If he fought back, he would be the one to be criticized after Zhang Ming.

For some reason, the female educated youth, looking at the expression of the team leader just now, aroused a sense of uncertainty and fear in their hearts, thinking that the man had bad intentions.

He Chongwen also frowned. The other party's undisguised malice was directly shown to all the educated youth. What did this mean? It meant that he was very confident and that the brigade cadres had at least reached a consensus on how to deal with the educated youth.

New changes, what was the reason this time? He couldn't figure it out, but no matter what the reason was, they still had to think of other ways. Just submitting articles might not be enough... How about asking the newspaper to come and interview them? Using submission as an excuse?

Once the construction team is noticed by the outside world, they will not dare to deal with the educated youth so blatantly, right? Otherwise, if the bomb is exposed, these cadres will be in trouble.

Although everyone was very reluctant, they still had to work.

I just don't know if the scorer will really deduct points from them.

But He Chongwen guessed that it would not happen. A desperate dog will jump over the wall, let alone a human. Those cadres would not dream of suppressing all the educated youth in one move, otherwise it would be reasonable for some of them to rebound.

While he was depicting the scenery on paper, he was observing everyone's actions. He studied ink painting and could draw landscapes, flowers and birds, but he was really not good at depicting scenes that needed to be close to reality. If he had known that one day it would come in handy, he should have learned detailed painting from his grandmother.

Although he felt that his painting was not good, in fact, because he was good at depicting artistic conception, the busy river cleaning picture had a deeper meaning, as if one could tell from the few strokes of the portraits that they were full of anticipation for the busy farming season?

As for how to interpret it, that is up to the person viewing the painting.

He Chongwen put away the drawing and saw a young girl slowly walking towards him.

It’s Zhuang Caier.

Fang Qianqian frowned slightly, not understanding why this girl who had already married and moved to the commune was coming back at this time.

Zhuang Caier pretended to come over and inspected the place, then asked, "Where are Jiang Yu and Xue Li?"

He Yuanchao silently complained that he didn't even know how to pretend to be realistic.

You have to know that before getting married, Zhuang Caier enthusiastically called Jiang Yu "Master Jiang" and would come to the educated youth point to find Xue Li from time to time. The two of them talked and laughed all the time, and those who didn't know would think they had a deep friendship.

Now, you turn your back on me and just call me by my name?

Zhao Chunjiang straightened up and answered in a seemingly honest manner, "Jiang Zhiqing is on home leave. We didn't see Xue Li either."

"Haven't you seen him? You all live in the same place, how could you not have seen him? Are you kidding me?" Zhuang Caier stared at Zhao Chunjiang with her big, clear eyes.

Zhao Chunjiang seemed to be stared at by some cold-blooded animal. He felt a chill down his spine. "I really didn't see it. We have to go to work every day and don't have time to pay attention to others."

"Hehe, you can't earn many work points in total, but you talk as if you are so busy." Zhuang Caier said disdainfully, turned her head, and left quickly.

The educated youths straightened their backs collectively and asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"

However, no matter how big their opinions were, they dared not speak them out, because everyone was afraid that the suffocating day would come again.

He Yuanchao was furious. He suddenly raised his shovel and slapped the gravel ground twice. "Ahhhhhhh!! This is so annoying!!!"

Wu Xiaoxiao was beside her. She was startled by her sudden action. Her eyes widened and she even forgot to be angry.

Huang Ranbo was also frightened, but the next second he looked at He Yuanchao's rage with amusement and inexplicably found him cute.

Zhao Chunjiang sat down on the ground. Anyway, no one was coming to check on him. He was so tired, both physically and mentally.

He Chongwen stood up and walked over, "Is that the captain's daughter?"

"Yes, it's her. She's two-faced and very petty." Chen Xiaohua answered immediately.

He Chongwen nodded. He had seen her in his memory, but she looked much more energetic in real life than in his memory. In his memory, in half a year, her husband would be accidentally injured and his lower body would be paralyzed. Her life would be in dire straits from then on. She would go back to her parents' home every now and then to beg for money, which made the girls in the team who had been competing with her since childhood laugh at her.

If her nature was so despicable, then she deserved this disaster.
