Chapter 141 Captain, Zhou Zhiqing fainted.
On the way back, Taotao still kept a distance from his sister.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Taotao turned around, gave his sister a lovely smile, and ran towards the Medina.
Liang Jun was distracted while working that afternoon, fearing that his grandson and granddaughter would be discovered by others.
When she saw her grandson coming back, she asked, "You didn't cause any trouble for your sister, did you?"
As soon as Taotao arrived at the wheat field, he bent down to pick up the wheat ears that had fallen on the ground. Hearing what his grandmother said, he shook his head and said, "No, Taotao is very good."
He put the wheat ears in his hand into the basket, looked around, and waved for the grandparents to lower their heads. The couple did as they were told, and soon their grandson stuffed a piece of meat into their mouths.
As soon as Yang Zhen tasted it, he knew it was pheasant meat. "Taotao, did your sister take you to roast pheasant?"
"Well, my sister is very nice to me. She gave me grapes and roasted pheasant. She also stuffed a handful of candy for me when she came back." He patted his bulging pockets, his childish face full of happiness.
The little guy was almost suffocated staying in the cowshed with them every day. He finally got the chance to go up the mountain to play, and when he came back he chattered non-stop with his grandparents.
After being in Shenjiaba Brigade for so long, it was the first time that Yang Zhen and Liang Jun saw the lively and energetic look on their grandson's face, which was typical of his age.
The couple smiled at each other and rubbed their grandson's head.
"Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to pick up wheat ears."
"Hey, run slower."
In the wheat field, bursts of joy could be heard from the grandfather and grandson.
Shen Erzhu passed by and saw this scene. He paused and did not walk over. Instead, he turned around with his hands behind his back and went back to the brigade headquarters.
Shen Erzhu had not been the team leader for so many years in vain. He knew that these people who were demoted were all very powerful people.
If it weren't for the situation, these peasants would probably never come into contact with these people in their entire lives.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, who knows if they will be able to turn things around one day.
Sometimes, mental trauma is more despairing than physical fatigue.
Therefore, Shen Erzhu never dragged people from the cowshed out for criticism like other team leaders did.
When holding meetings, they would also remind the adults and children in the village not to cause trouble for them.
Of course, there was only so much he could do. They were sent to the bullpen for reform, and they still had to do what they were supposed to do. This was the arrangement from above.
He is just a small captain and he has to follow any instructions from his leader.
Shen Erzhu was lost in thought. At this moment, a tall and thin young man came over and shouted,
"Captain, Zhou Zhiqing fainted."
"What? Fainted? Didn't he just start working not long ago?"
The tall and thin young man showed disdain on his face, "Maybe he's too weak, Captain, go and have a look.
Doctor Xu went to visit relatives today and is not in the village. Everyone is afraid of being blamed by Shen Xue, so they dare not take any action. "
This Zhou Jingchen actually found trouble for him every day. Shen Erzhu cursed in his heart and quickened his pace.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, your man has fainted, why are you still standing there? Give him a slap."
"Zhou Zhiqing has fainted, and you let Xiaoxue slap him. Do you want to save him or harm him? I think you should give him an injection."
"Why give him an injection? What if he gets hurt? It's better to just give him a slap in the face."
"Hey, the captain is here, disperse, disperse."
In the corn field, the people who were surrounding Zhou Jingchen and giving Shen Xue advice saw the team leader coming and returned to their work positions.
Zhou Jingchen fainted, and everyone was unwilling to help. Shen Xue was too worried, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do while holding Jingchen. The captain came, and she seemed to have a backbone.
"Second Grandpa, Jing Chen fainted, what should we do?"
The sun was so bright, and the man fainted, but no one helped him to the shade. He just kept crying. Shen Erzhu felt bad when he saw this.
He called out to the young man next to him, "Heizi, Guawa, help Zhou Zhiqing get under the tree. Fugui, go get him a bucket of water."
After helping them to the tree, Shen Erzhu asked Shen Xue to give Zhou Jingchen some water.
When the water came, Shen Erzhu asked Fugui to pour water on Zhou Jingchen. The cold water splashed on his body, and Zhou Jingchen slowly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong with me."
Shen Xue laughed out loud, "Jingchen, you're awake. Woohoo, you fainted just now and scared me to death."
"I...I fainted?"
An auntie poked her head out of the cornfield and said disdainfully, "It's not good at all. He fainted just after breaking two corns. A grown man is as weak as a sick chicken. His health is not as good as my 85-year-old grandmother."
Zhou Jingchen: “…” He clearly picked two baskets of corn.
Zhou Jingchen rolled his eyes and said weakly, "Captain, I feel dizzy. I want to take half a day off."
Zhou Jingchen really didn't want to work anymore. The corn leaves were like blades, and if he was not careful he would cut them. It was itchy and painful.
Autumn harvest, minor injuries do not leave the front line, Zhou Jingchen just fainted a little, it is impossible for him to ask for leave,
He can ask for leave if he faints, and that person also asks for leave if he faints. Can he still do his job?
He said with a straight face, "No, I can only give you twenty minutes of rest at most."
Zhou Jingchen tugged at Shen Xue's clothes, signaling her to speak. Shen Xue received the signal and spoke softly, "Second Grandpa Jingchen is so weak, you can ask him to take half a day off. At worst, I can do his part of the work together."
Shen Erzhu said indifferently, "There is no negotiation on the leave. He has to continue working after taking a 20-minute break, otherwise two days' work points will be deducted."
There are still a lot of things to do in the team. Shen Erzhu said this and left with his hands behind his back.
He married Shen Xue, who was the captain's relative, but this old man didn't even give him face.
The captain was humiliated, and Zhou Jingchen was not in a good mood towards Shen Xue either.
"Didn't you say that the captain loves you the most as his niece? Why didn't he approve your request for leave?"
Shen Xue explained, "Jing Chen is busy harvesting food, which is different from usual.
If it were normal times, Second Grandfather would definitely agree to your request for leave once I asked. Jingchen Autumn Harvest will be over soon, just bear with it."
Zhou Jingchen didn't want to endure it, but he had no choice but to endure it.
With Shen Erzhu's instructions, the team leader looked at the time and came to urge Zhou Jingchen to work.
"Zhou Jingchen, twenty minutes are up, get up and pick the corn."
Zhou Jingchen was pushed into the cornfield by the team leader. In order to record the work points, each person had to break off a piece of cornfield.
At this point, everyone had basically broken half of the corn, and only Zhou Jingchen was still breaking the corn in the front.
Shen Xue was afraid that Zhou Jingchen would faint again, so she had to pay attention to him while picking corn in the field.
At this time, there was a series of rustling sounds of corn stalks falling to the ground. Shen Xue felt something was wrong and ran over to see Zhou Jingchen lying straight on the ground.
"Jingchen, what's wrong with you, Jingchen..."
