Chapter 63 Zhou Jingchen was photographed in the ditch
"Why are you becoming more and more ignorant as you grow older? If you don't go to work, what will you eat?" One day less of work means one less work point earned. She has no idea what her daughter is thinking.
"I was kicked by a cow twice. My whole body aches and I can't go to work. I'm asking for a day off today. Mom, the work bell has rung, you should go to work quickly." Shen Xue broke free from her mother's hand and ran a long way.
Before the family division, Shen Xue was still quite afraid of Old Lady Shen and her two aunts.
Now that the family has been separated, they can't control themselves, so she won't let herself be wronged. She works when she wants to work and doesn't work when she doesn't want to work.
That bitch Shen Shuyu lives a comfortable life every day, and she also wants to live that kind of life.
"You..." Liu Pandi used to think that his daughter was perfect in every way, considerate and sensible, but now he just thinks that his daughter is difficult to discipline.
Gu Jiandong did not go to cut grass for the pigs today, but followed Old Man Shen to work in the fields.
The child was sensible and knew that the family had been divided. Since only Old Man and Old Lady Shen went to work in their house, he took the initiative to tell the old couple in the morning that he wanted to go to the fields.
The old couple naturally didn't want him to work in the fields. It was so tiring. His parents had prepared enough money for him, and he could use the money to buy food. Why should they tire their child?
The old couple refused, and Gu Jiandong pouted as if he was about to cry.
The old couple didn't want him to cry, so they had to agree.
Goudan and his children kept telling Gu Jiandong that they wanted to work in the fields to earn more work points so that they could earn food for themselves. He kept these words in mind.
Old man Shen was doing the work of tilling the soil today. As soon as he got to the ground, he took a shovel and taught Gu Jiandong how to till the soil.
After being taught once, Gu Jiandong knew how to turn the soil. This piece of soil was quite hard, and it was the kind that required no effort but no results.
It takes several shovels to dig out a piece of soil. Even old man Shen, who has been doing farm work for many years, finds it strenuous.
Gu Jiandong dug a shovel and dug up a large piece of soil. With the shovel in his hand, the ground under his feet felt like soft cotton.
There was a loud clang of turning, and the shovel was almost smoking. Soon, Old Man Shen was left behind.
Uncle Li and Old Man Shen said, "Hey, being young is good. This kid has a lot of strength. It won't be a problem for him to earn full work points in a day."
"That's right, I didn't know this kid was so capable."
"This child is good in every way except that he is a little naive. There is nothing wrong with him at all."
The two old guys were chatting while turning the soil. Their speed could not keep up with Gu Jiandong. There was no need to be anxious. They just had to turn the soil slowly. What could be wrong?
In one morning, Gu Jiandong finished the work of the two people. Old man Shen happily took the shovel and went to work.
"Good boy, I'll ask Grandma Shen to make you something delicious when I get back. What do you want to eat?"
Having eaten dumplings at a state-owned restaurant yesterday, Gu Jiandong wanted to eat them again today. "Grandpa Shen, I want to eat dumplings."
Want to eat dumplings, good, his old man also wants to eat dumplings, this child did not say, the old woman is reluctant to make dumplings, "Okay, Grandpa Shen go back and tell your Grandma Shen."
Gu Jiandong didn't want to go home yet. He sat in the shade and made a small basket with willow branches.
Zhou Jingchen, who was weeding on the other side, was so jealous when he heard the conversation between the two men. He was from Kyoto, but he couldn't even eat dumplings.
It is not fair that a fool would make dumplings for himself just because he said so casually. A fool should be lonely and miserable if he goes to the countryside.
Why should I live a better life than him?
After work, Zhou Jingchen walked over to Gu Jiandong and said, "Comrade Gu, do you still remember me? We were in the same group of people who went to the countryside."
"..."
Gu Jiandong was concentrating on weaving the basket and didn't even look at him.
Zhou Jingchen thought the fool didn't understand what he said, so he patiently said it again, "Comrade Gu, do you still remember me? We went to the countryside together.
Here, we are the closest people and should help each other. I heard that you live in the Shen family and with fellow villagers. Life must be difficult. Do you want me to talk to the team leader on your behalf and let you return to the educated youth camp?"
Gu Jiandong didn't hear a word Zhou Jingchen said. He just felt like there was an annoying mosquito buzzing in his ear.
He looked up at Zhou Jingchen, paused in weaving willow branches, and slapped Zhou Jingchen into the ditch.
Gu Jiandong slapped Zhou Jingchen without saying a word, which was beyond his expectation. The place where he was sitting was a slope, and there was a ditch at the bottom of the slope.
Gu Jiandong slapped him and he rolled into the ditch due to inertia.
Zhou Jingchen climbed out of the ditch in a panic and roared, "Gu Jiandong, how dare you?"
Gu Jiandong scratched his ears and said, "It's so noisy. Why are there dogs barking all the time?"
Zhou Jingchen was furious and climbed up to hit Gu Jiandong. Li Caixia and a few other women rushed over and protected Gu Jiandong behind them.
"Zhou Zhiqing, what are you doing? Do you want to bully Jiandong?"
Zhou Jingchen pointed at his embarrassed self and said, "How could I bully him? It was this idiot who bullied me. Look, I'm wet and dirty, and I smell like a stinky ditch. It's all this idiot's fault. He beat me into the ditch.
This idiot beat me up for no reason. I will go to the captain later and ask him to give me justice."
Li Caixia looked around, "When did Jiandong hit someone? Who saw it?"
The ladies shook their heads. “We didn’t see anything. We only saw you being aggressive towards Jiandong, yelling and cursing at him. If we hadn’t rushed over, you would have wanted to hit him.”
"You...you...are shameless!" These peasants were clearly lying with their eyes open. When he was pushed into the ditch by the idiot, they were all enjoying the shade under the big tree nearby and saw everything going on here clearly.
When the idiot hit him, this group of people pretended not to see it. When he was about to hit the idiot, this group of people rushed out. He finally saw how arrogant and unreasonable these peasants were.
Li Caixia squinted at him and said, "How can we be shameless? Zhou Zhiqing, if you can't speak, then don't speak."
"I won't argue with you. I'm going to go find the captain to seek justice." When he went to find the captain, he would ask the captain to assign the dirtiest and most tiring work to the fool.
There were several large rocks in the ditch. When he rolled down, his feet hit the rocks and he was now walking with a limp.
"Don't worry about him. If he wants to find the team leader, let him do it. If he doesn't want to find us, we have to find the team leader. He is the most trouble-making among the educated youths in the educated youth camp."
"I knew Zhou Zhiqing was not a good person when I saw his appearance. He wanted to beat someone up in broad daylight. This is outrageous,"
As soon as he left, Li Caixia and a few other women surrounded Gu Jiandong and asked, "Jiandong, are you okay? Were you scared by Zhou Zhiqing?"
Gu Jiandong grinned, "Aunt, aunt, I'm fine. There was a mosquito buzzing in my ear just now, and I swatted it away."
"Oh, yes, that kind of annoying mosquito should be swatted away. Jiandong did the right thing."
