Chapter 299 Team Leader, They Are Lazy

Seeing the child back, everyone wanted to take out their good things. They looked at Gu Jiandong with pity in their eyes and felt that Gu Jiandong had worked hard in the army.

It is because of children like Jiandong that ordinary people like them can live a stable life.

How can they not feel pain for a child like this?

Shen Erzhu doesn't have such a thick filter. He doesn't think that the boy has changed at all. But it's not that there is no change. After returning to the army, he cut his hair into a buzz cut, and looked more handsome.

"No need, Auntie. Shu Yu has gone home to cook for me."

Autumn harvest is a time of hard work, and they rely on eggs, bacon and other things to nourish their family. How could Gu Jiandong be so careless as to go to their house for a meal?

While chatting with them, Gu Jiandong was picking corn skillfully. He worked quickly and soon picked several baskets.

Zhou Jingchen was in the corn field next door, picking corn. He saw the peasants who used to look down on him were surrounding Gu Jiandong.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to give him all the food in the house and treat him like his own son. He really couldn't understand how he, Zhou Jingchen, was worse than Gu Jiandong.

They were all educated youth sent to the countryside, and Gu Jiandong was still a fool at the time.

Zhou Jingchen couldn't stand Gu Jiandong, so he pointed at Gu Jiandong and said to the team leader, "Team leader, they are lazy, working with laughter, and have no attitude at all. If this continues, when will the corn in the field be harvested?"

The team leader was Shen Jiajun, who said unhappily, "Mind your own business. You can't even earn five work points in a day. The kids there earn more than you."

The progress of their group was far behind that of other groups, and it was because of him that such a huge difference was made. A grown man with strong hands and feet, he worked more slowly than a kid, and all the Shen family soldiers admired him.

He didn't do much work and was actually a drag. Yet Shen Xue always felt that her husband had done all the work of the entire team alone, and she kept asking for leave for her husband to have a rest.

Zhou Jingchen felt that the Shen family army was biased. Not only did he not say anything when the people in their team were lazy, but he came over and scolded him just when he had just taken a break and hadn't even had a sip of water.

Just wait and see, when he becomes the mayor, these peasants will have a hard time.

Gu Jiandong picked corn until dark, and Bai Luobo was always circling around him in the cornfield. Occasionally, the corn they picked fell to the ground, but Bai Luobo still knew to put the corn into the basket.

Then he grinned and wagged his tail and looked at Gu Jiandong as if he was about to praise the dog.

Gu Jiandong took some time out from work to touch the furry child and praised it, "White radish is great."

The Shen family was working on the other side. They didn't know that Gu Jiandong had returned and had gone to work in the fields. When Old Mrs. Shen saw him sitting in the yard, she took bigger steps.

"Jiandong is back. When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in advance so that we could pick you up?"

"I got off the bus at around 2:00 p.m. and went to the commune to wait for Shu Yu to get off work and come back together."

There were still corn leaves on his body. Old Lady Shen knew at a glance that this child had come back to work in the fields. "You, why don't you take a break after coming back? You don't need to do the work in the fields."

Old man Shen smiled and patted the child on the shoulder, "You've lost weight. You need to eat more when you get home."

Gu Jiandong has indeed lost weight. When he was stupid before, he was like a glutton. He ate as much as he could when it was time to eat, and he never stopped eating when he went out to play.

Then, with a bag of food in my pocket, after I finished my snacks, it was time to go home for dinner.

Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Shuyu were always afraid that the child would be hungry, so they urged him to eat more every day. In less than half a year, Gu Jiandong had a little belly.

It was only after Gu Jiandong returned to the army and intensified his training that his belly fat went away.

Shen Shuyu made dinner tonight: pheasant stewed with mushrooms, cucumber salad, and corn porridge as the staple food.

Old Man and Old Lady Shen came back just in time, and the pheasant stewed with mushrooms was almost ready.

Shen Shuyu filled a bowl of porridge for the white radish, "Grandma, Second Aunt, Gu Jiandong is ready to eat."

"Shu Yu, I'm going to take a shower." After picking corn in the cornfield, Gu Jiandong came back feeling his arms and neck were a little itchy, and his whole body was covered in sweat. He had to take a shower first.

"Go."

Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Chunling often go into Gu Jiandong's house to clean it. Although no one lives there, his house is always clean.

There was no need to take a hot bath in this weather. Gu Jiandong simply filled a bucket of water and went into the bathroom.

He hadn't bathed Bai Luobo for a long time. Bai Luobo followed him in happily, but was chased out by Gu Jiandong. "I'll give you a bath later."

Uncle Shen and his family came back later. When they heard from their mother that Gu Jiandong had returned, they all went up to him to show their concern for him.

"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, I am doing well in the army. Everything is fine."

When he came back, Old Man Shen had another reason to drink, and he said to Old Lady Shen frankly, "Old lady, Jiandong is back. Today is a good day. Jiandong and I will have a couple of drinks."

"Okay, but you still have to go to work tomorrow, so don't drink too much and delay your work." She then asked, "Jiandong, if you can't drink, just drink a small sip with your Grandpa Shen as a token of your appreciation. It's the same if you use boiled water instead of wine."

Old Mrs. Shen has not forgotten that Gu Jiandong was drunk before.

"Grandma Shen, I can drink a little. I'll have a couple of drinks with Grandpa Shen tonight."

Uncle Shen and the others grinned, "Dad, let's drink with you tonight." They were also craving for wine.

I was too tired from working, and my back and waist ached. Drinking a little wine would make me feel more comfortable when I slept. The three brothers of Shen Jiabao also smiled, "Master, we will accompany you too."

Old man Shen was extremely happy. The more people there were when drinking, the better. It was more lively, especially since these people were not outsiders but his sons and grandsons. Old man Shen waved his hand and said, "Bring your own stools and sit over here."

Fortunately, Shen Shuyu has always been generous and cooked a big pot of porridge. Uncle Shen and the others will have dinner with them tonight, so there is enough porridge.

After working for a whole day, Old Lady Shen didn't let them drink alcohol right away. She asked them to drink a bowl of porridge first, and then a sip of soup before letting them drink alcohol.

The men in the family all went to eat with their parents-in-law, so Zhang Cuicui and the others still had to cook. However, since they were the only ones eating, it was easier and it was quick to cook a bowl of corn porridge.

Liu Pandi was the only one in the third room who ate alone, so she simply didn't cook. There were two steamed buns left at noon, which she ate directly.

Gu Jiandong sat next to Shen Shuyu. Although he was drinking with Old Man Shen and the others, he was very considerate.

Knowing that Shen Shuyu didn't like chicken skin, he first tore off the chicken skin and then gave her the skinless meat.

No matter what she wanted to eat, Gu Jiandong would always be the first to pick up food for her. His eyes were always on Shen Shuyu. Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Chunling were extremely satisfied when they saw her.

Shen Shuyu, needless to say, was very happy, and her whole body was filled with happiness. On weekdays, when Gu Jiandong was not at home,

Shen Shuyu also missed him, so she kept finding things to do. When she was busy, she had no time to think about him.
