Chapter 33: Eat as much as you work

 The remaining six female educated youths made a fool of themselves.

There was only half a basket of stones in Luo basket, and several people could not carry it.

Either the Luo basket fell to the ground halfway.

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui are suffering so much that they cannot use the carrying pole.

 When Xia Zhi passed by them, he put down his carrying pole and simply taught them the ropes.

Zhang Cuifen was furious when she saw this scene.

 “You want her to teach me? I really think I know everything.”

 “Don’t say that. Xiaoxia means well.”

Fang Xiaoya disagreed with Zhang Cuifen's words. The two of them had been helped by Xia Zhi several times.

  "Are you stupid? You think Xia Zhi is really kind. People just want to see you making a fool of yourself."

“She really thinks of her as a good person! She likes to express herself, and she drags you into it, and you two are stupid enough.

When someone packs a basket of stones, you wouldn’t fill it half-full. Filling half the basket is still a matter of picking.

 Use your brain. "

“Yes, Xiaoya is decorating the stones, but no one is telling you to look at them anyway. We all put them in the bottom of a basket.”

Zhao Hong, who was next to him, also hurriedly showed the stones in his basket to them.

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui hesitated for a moment.

It is true that the fewer stones you add, the less you will suffer.

But when I looked up, I saw Xia Zhi glanced at them, but didn't say anything, and still carried two baskets full of stones and walked towards the way he came.

Although his shoulders hurt from the pressure, Xia Zhi’s back looked so straight and tall.

Li Jinhui and Fang Xiaoya looked at each other, and they saw each other's thoughts in each other's eyes.

“Thank you, we still have to pick as many as we can.”

 The two said to the aunt dressed in pebbles,

 “Auntie, fill it up for us.”

After hearing this, the aunt showed approval in her eyes. It seemed that these two educated youths were quite decent.

  He did not change his mind because of the provocation of those educated youths. What this person fears most is to imitate others.

“That’s enough. It’s too full at once and you can’t carry it. Take your time and pick pebbles on the first day. Don’t wear out your shoulders all at once.”

“Remember to bring a towel when you come tomorrow.

 Putting it on your shoulders when picking stones can also make your skin better. You can also wipe your sweat in your spare time. "

Auntie's kindness made the two of them feel warm in their hearts. It seemed that everyone's eyes were bright.

 It was difficult for two people to get started.

I stumbled, and finally it was at noon.

 Xia Zhi was sweating. He put the basket aside and sat on the stone.

  He wiped his sweat with the towel on his neck.

 Thanks to my foresight, I brought a towel with me when I came.

Liu Qianjin was also out of breath. After all, he was doing the same work as two people in Xia Zhi.

Liu Qianjin, who is always in good spirits, is also a little wilting at the moment.

 “Xiaoxia, I’m hungry.”

 “When shall we eat?”

Sister-in-law Guixiang came over and happened to hear these words. She smiled and patted Liu Qianjin on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry, we’ll have dinner right away! Come on, my sister-in-law will take you to the canteen.”

These days, people always bring lunch boxes with them when they go out.

Everyone walked toward the canteen with their aluminum lunch boxes. Sister-in-law Guixiang took them in to line up. When the other sisters-in-law saw Liu Qianjin, they couldn't help but smile and say hello.

"Xiao Liu is very capable. There is wind on his feet. I watched him run around ten times in the morning."

 “This young man is really capable.”

"No wonder the captain asked him to come to us. He came to the right place."

“Xiao Liu, don’t pick up stones this afternoon, just come with us to pave the road.”

 A bunch of sisters-in-law were joking there.

Liu Qianjin was a little embarrassed and kept silent. He lowered his head and huddled behind Xia Zhi. Unfortunately, he was tall. Even if he tried to huddle hard, Xia Zhi couldn't stop him.

“Sister-in-law, aunt, Liu Qianjin is still a shy child.

 If you really need to block the road, just call him. "

“Liu Qianjin, even though he is just a child by heart, he can withstand the strength of two adults.”

 The sisters-in-law and aunts were a little surprised when they looked at Xia Zhi. They didn't expect that the new female educated youth on her first day could actually talk to them.

Moreover, the new female educated youth did not feel frightened at all, nor did they have any aloofness.

“Aren’t you afraid that we will bully Liu Qianjin?”

 Sister-in-law Guixiang is joking.

“Sister-in-law Guixiang, how could you possibly bully Liu Qianjin? Liu Qianjin is like your little brother. I looked at my sisters-in-law and took care of Liu Qianjin this morning.”

Xia Zhi has long seen it in his eyes, and just because he has seen it, he still has to say these kind words. Liu Qianjin does not understand the ways of the world, and he cannot and does not understand it.

Sure enough, everyone looked at Liu Qianjin and Xia Zhi with more kindness. They were afraid of those ignorant and self-righteous people.

When it was Guixiang’s sister-in-law’s turn and the three of them were preparing to eat, Guixiang’s sister-in-law made a point of saying hello to the master chef.

“Lao Niu, these two are my younger brothers and sisters, please give me more.”

Hearing this, Lao Niu raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Zhi and Liu Qianjin.

“Hey, Guixiang, when did you get a younger brother and sister from the city? You dare to take any relatives into your home.”

“They are really different. Although they are both educated youths in the city, they have worked hard all morning.”

“Especially the young man at the back, even though a grown man followed us women to build the road. But he still exerted great effort. He carried more than 300 kilograms of stones by himself, and he walked as fast as he could.”

When Master Niu heard this, he immediately treated Liu Qianjin differently. People here generally have a favorable impression of him as a person who is willing to work.

“Zhong, listening to what you say, my relatives must take care of me a little bit.”

It is average to the summer solstice, but facing Liu Qianjin was a big spoon and a spoon, there were three or four large pieces of meat.

While serving it, he also asked Liu Qianjin.

"Come back if you don't have enough food. A young man like this can definitely eat, but he can't go hungry. He must be full. Only when he is full can he have the strength to work. If this road is repaired early, it will be opened to traffic early."

 Liu Qianjin smiled like a flower.

 “Thank you, thank you, I will definitely work hard.”

The silly boy really can't say anything else besides saying thank you.

When it was the turn of the other female educated youths, the master shook his spoon and scooped out only half a spoonful of vegetables.

“Master, we have been tired for a long time, why did you give everyone else a spoonful and only half a spoonful for me?”

The master sneered and said,

“You don’t know how much work you have done?

How much work do we do here and how much food do we eat here?

 You have to do less work, so you naturally eat less. How can you do so little work and still have the nerve to come here and ask for the same treatment as someone who does a lot of work?

How big is your face? I really thought we were all fools. "

"Next!"

 The faces of the four female educated youths suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and everyone's eyes fell on them.

And there were many people laughing there, and the laughter was so harsh that it was impossible to ignore.
