Chapter 76 Who are you calling a fool?
This man never realized how capable he was. Shen Erzhu, with a dark face, gave him a shovel.
"If you can't do the work, you won't get any work points!"
Zhou Jingchen didn't take it seriously. He thought if a fool could do it, why couldn't he do it? He took a shovel and walked to Gu Jiandong's field. He was confident that he would earn ten work points today.
Zhou Jingchen didn't dare to get too close to Gu Jiandong, as he was afraid that the idiot would suddenly go crazy and knock him away with a shovel. Gu Jiandong was at the head and he was at the tail. The land was more than two acres and the two were separated by a long distance.
Seeing that Gu Jiandong turned the soil as easily as turning cotton, he smiled and took a shovel to start turning the soil. The first shovel did not dig deep, so he exerted a little more force and the shovel went in a little bit, but only a little bit.
He used all his strength to press the shovel down, even standing on the shovel, but the soil under his feet didn't loosen at all!
He stomps, stomps, stomps! He stomps, ...
The soil was slightly loose, but he couldn't turn it out!
Zhou Jingchen was skeptical about his life. How could this be possible? How could there be such a hard ground?
He looked at Gu Jiandong at the other end. He was turning the soil as if it were a game, and only the shadow of the shovel could be seen.
Zhou Jingchen guessed that the land on Gu Jiandong's side must be softer than his side, so he ran to Gu Jiandong's side with a shovel.
Gu Jiandong didn't even look at him, completely ignoring his presence, and kept on turning the soil. He turned the soil so fast that mud flew everywhere.
As soon as Zhou Jingchen went over, he was covered in mud and even ate a few mouthfuls of it.
"You idiot!" He was about to get angry, but was afraid of being beaten by the idiot, so he could only keep spitting out the mud in his mouth.
After spitting out the mud, he began to turn the soil like Gu Jiandong in a casual manner!
I shoveled it in, hmm! It didn’t go in, so I stepped on it harder! ! I stepped on the shovel with both feet and jumped on it!
Barely turned out a small piece of soil!
The people around him looked at Zhou Jingchen jumping up and down on the shovel, and they all showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
"Do you think Zhou Zhiqing is sick? He can't even pull out the weeds properly, yet he went to plow the soil! He even plowed the hardest piece of soil. How could he not know his own weight?"
"Look at how serious he is. It seems like he wants to compete with Jiandong. Who is our Jiandong? How can a weakling like him compare to him?"
"It's so unlucky for our brigade to have such an educated youth. He's incompetent at everything. He can even get per capita rations at the end of the year, but he just takes advantage of us..."
The aunts and the ladies spoke in loud voices, and Zhou Jingchen listened to every word they said.
This bunch of peasants are talking about him again. Can't they see he's still here? They're talking about why he didn't carry him on his back. I'm so angry, so angry!
They are sick, they are weaklings. Zhou Jingchen is an ambitious young man from Kyoto. He came to Shenjiaba Brigade to build the countryside. They should provide him with good food and drink! How can they dislike him so blatantly!
Zhou Jingchen looked very unhappy. He couldn't believe that he was so useless that he couldn't even turn over a piece of soil!
He looked at the shovel in his hand and thought that the problem might be with the shovel.
The shovel that Gu Jiandong holds is definitely better than his. The team leader is very partial and always takes care of the fool in everything.
He had to change a shovel. With a new shovel, he could also turn the soil as easily as Gu Jiandong. "Hey, idiot, I'll trade a shovel with you!"
Gu Jiandong looked up in confusion, "Who are you calling a fool?"
He subconsciously replied, "Idiot is calling you!"
Puff! The people around laughed!
"I think this Zhou Zhiqing is even dumber than Jiandong. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"Aunt, our Jiandong is not stupid. This child is very smart. It's Zhou Zhiqing who is stupid!"
Hearing his aunt praising him, Gu Jiandong straightened his back and raised his chin proudly.
Zhou Jingchen reacted and his face turned purple. "Fool, you did it on purpose! No, you are not a fool, you are just pretending to be stupid!"
Gu Jiandong looked up proudly and said, "I am the smart one, and you are the fool." Shu Yu praised him as a smart child every day, and the aunts in the village also praised him. Hehe, he is a very smart one!
Zhou Jingchen: “…” A fool is a fool.
Zhou Jingchen felt that it was cheap to talk to a fool and there was no way to communicate, so he walked over and tried to grab the shovel.
He was ready to grab the shovel as if Gu Jiandong was holding it tightly.
Who knew that as soon as he grabbed the handle of the shovel, Gu Jiandong loosened his hold. Zhou Jingchen pushed backwards, and without his support, he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out.
Gu Jiandong kicked him in dissatisfaction, "Can't you go home and sleep if you want to? How can I turn the floor if you sleep here?"
Feeling that he was hindering him from tilling the soil, Gu Jiandong pushed him to the edge of the field, where an old lady was carrying manure to fertilize the crops.
Zhou Jingchen was standing nearby and was splashed with a lot of feces!
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Zhou Jingchen jumped up in shock, vomiting as he walked, and felt that his body was full of bad smell. He ran back to the educated youth site and flushed several buckets of water.
After taking a shower, he ran to find Shen Erzhu and said that he didn't want to turn the soil anymore and wanted to continue weeding.
"You want to do this and that? Do you think this is fun? You have to plow the soil this month. You are not allowed to leave work if you don't earn five work points a day." Among so many educated youth, he is the most troublesome one. Shen Erzhu would not indulge him.
Shen Erzhu never expected that these city girls could do much work in the countryside.
I don't expect you to do much work, but at least you have to have a working attitude.
He didn't even have an attitude, and Shen Erzhu didn't even bother to give him a good face.
Zhou Jingchen was very dissatisfied, "Captain, aren't you bullying me?"
That piece of broken land is so difficult to plow. No one can do it. And he has to earn five work points before he can leave. This is no different from asking for his life.
"Captain, don't blame me for going to the Youth Office to report you for oppressing the Youth!"
"Go, go, go quickly!" Even if the commune secretary came, he would be right.
"Hurry up and go, what are you still standing there for?"
Zhou Jingchen originally had this idea in mind, but seeing that the captain didn't seem afraid of being reported, he hesitated. If his report failed, his life in Shenjiaba Brigade would be even more difficult!
After thinking it over, Zhou Jingchen went to work honestly.
After work, Shen Xue came over and saw Zhou Jingchen still holding the shovel. She felt strange and said, "Jingchen, it's time to get off work, why don't you go back to the educated youth site?
Aren't you supposed to be weeding? Why are you here to plow the soil?"
The hard ground was turned over again. The ground was very hard. No one in the team was willing to do it. They just worked hard but didn't get any results! Why did it become Jing Chen's turn? This kind of hard work should be done by fools.
Zhou Jingchen smiled and said, "Labor is the most glorious. I don't have much to do when I go back, so I just want to do more work."
Her Jing Chen is different from others, with a high level of awareness. "Then I'll do it with you. I have nothing to do when I go back anyway!"
Uncle Shen came over from a distance and pulled her arm directly, "Why are you okay? There is a lot of work to do at home. Come back with me quickly!"
