Chapter 13 The first day of work

 Chen Zixuan didn’t say hello, he lowered his head and brushed his teeth. Unexpectedly, Li Mu kept staring at him.

"Comrade Chen, can I borrow your toothpaste?"

Li Mu faced Chen Zixuan unnaturally and condescendingly. He did not expect that he had forgotten to bring toothpaste.

He hesitated in his heart for a long time before he mustered up the courage to ask Chen Zixuan for a loan. You should know that he was very angry with Chen Zixuan yesterday.

To be honest, Chen Zixuan doesn't really want to borrow it, but if he doesn't, he will look like a coward.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Mu, picked up his toothpaste, applied a little with his hand, and reached out to Li Mu.

He would not accept Li Mu's toothbrush touching his toothpaste. He was afraid of getting dirty with some annoying people.

"Thank you."

He stretched out his fingers and took it. Li Mu originally thought that Chen Zixuan would be unwilling to borrow it, but he was a little overjoyed.

After washing up, Chen Zixuan sat next to Li Jie and looked at the table. Unexpectedly, what he ate this morning was not as good as yesterday.

Breakfast is just one steamed bun and a bowl of rice water per person, and there are no other dishes.

"It would be great if there was a bottle of Laoganma."

With a bottle of Lao Gan Ma, he can finish this steamed bun. Eating it like this would really choke a person to death.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat, otherwise we will be late. We will have to go to work soon after eating."

When Xie Yang saw that Chen Zixuan hadn't eaten yet, he thought he hadn't woken up yet, so he quickly reminded him.

Chen Zixuan nodded helplessly, and had no choice but to finish the choking steamed bun with rice water.

Today Zhang Wanqing and He Xiaolian are normal and no longer acting like monsters. Chen Zixuan can't help but feel relieved, otherwise he would not have the energy to deal with them.

After clearing the table, Chen Zixuan originally wanted to take a rest and then go into the space to eat a few candies when no one was around.

There is no ready-made meat in the small space manor, but more of the snacks he has hoarded.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

Suddenly, a burst of drumming came over, and Chen Zixuan and Li Jie looked at Xie Yang in confusion, not knowing what it meant.

"This is the sound of the captain's drumming. It means that we are going to work now. Every day when we go to work, it is the sound of the captain's drumming. Then we have to gather at the canteen in the village, the one where we just started.

Don’t forget it.”

After explaining these details clearly, Xie Yang went back to his room and changed out of his short-sleeved shirt into long-sleeved trousers, a bamboo hat, and a white towel hanging around his neck.

Chen Zixuan observed that not only Xie Yang was dressed like this, but other old educated youths were also equipped like this.

Chen Zixuan raised his eyebrows, suddenly understanding.

"Li Jie, let's go change it quickly."

He ran into the house in a hurry, followed Xie Yang's example, put on dirty clothes and equipment, and followed behind them.

On the first day of farm work, he didn't know what he was going to do, especially plowing the ground. He didn't want to continue plowing the ground.

After arriving at the open space in the canteen, the team leader Zhang Hongguo was already standing there. He saw that the new educated youth who arrived yesterday arrived on time, wearing work clothes, and nodded with satisfaction.

But after counting the number of people, Zhang Hongguo didn't look very good. There are still two new educated youths in this group who haven't arrived yet.

He was about to call someone to look for him when he saw two figures walking slowly one behind the other.

It was Li Yan and Lin Mu who chose to live together with the villagers, and they came late.

And looking at what they were wearing, it didn’t look like they were here to work, but thinking that it was the first day, Zhang Hongguo suppressed his anger.

"Is everyone here already?"

"These are the new educated youths. There are eight of them in total. Get to know them all, teach them, and divide them up when the time comes."

The villagers in Lianshui Village stared at the eight of them.

But the one I saw the most was Chen Zixuan, after all, his skin is beyond the standard.

"Hey, there is a handsome young man in the middle, but he looks a little thin!"

Suddenly, so many people were staring at Chen Zixuan, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

I am already thin-skinned, so my face turned red when I saw it.

"Although I'm a little thinner, I can't help but look handsome."

One by one, they caught Chen Zixuan making fun and making fun of him. Zhang Hongguo was quite optimistic about him, but he didn’t expect this group of people to be endless.

"Okay, okay, what are you all doing? You're yelling, you don't have to work, just disperse and go to work to earn cents."

If Zhang Hongguo doesn't scold them, it's because he has no sense of propriety.

The captain's words were quite influential, and everyone was very obedient and dispersed, no longer making fun of Chen Zixuan.

Among the three captains, Zhang Hongguo is relatively strong, and the other two captains can only choose Zhang Hongguo to choose from the rest.

"Chen Zixuan, Li Jie, and Li Mu, you three follow me."

Zhang Hongguo has a good impression of Chen Zixuan, but just now he felt that he was a bit thin-skinned for a grown man.

Just being looked at a few times by a group of people doesn’t mean you lose a piece of flesh, so why do you blush so easily?

But this face is indeed handsome, and I don’t know what kind of lesbians in this village can match it.

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he immediately thought of his own daughter's face, but he really didn't want to find such an unsafe-looking son-in-law.

Yes, Chen Zixuan’s face is unsafe for Zhang Hongguo, and he doesn’t feel at ease if he doesn’t look at it all the time.

"You are very lucky to have come this year. If you had come a few years ago, you might have been hungry."

There was enough rain last year and this year, and the harvest was much more than in previous years. Even the lazy people who often work hard and only earn two centimeters are not very hungry.

A few years ago, I would have been starving if I only earned two centimeters.

"Then we are indeed quite lucky."

Chen Zixuan followed behind. He also knew the direction of history. Even if this was just a parallel world, the general trend would be the same, especially during those three years of hardship, many people fainted from hunger.

"It's not the autumn harvest time now, so there's not a lot of farm work. We mainly pull out the weeds in the fields, and then take buckets to the river to fill them with water and come back to water them."

I looked at the weeds in the cornfield. They were long, thin and tall, completely different from the green grass I saw just now on the roadside.

Chen Zi didn't expect that they would find an easy job just after arriving. This job sounded pretty good.

"Yunli, take these three newly arrived educated youths to weed Qili Di and see if they can be fertilized in time in the afternoon."

Zhang Hongguo called to Zhang Yunli who was walking in front.

He has three sons. The eldest son works with him, while the other two sons work in the commune.

He didn't have much time to bring in and get familiar with these newcomers, so he had to let his honest eldest son help with them.

"Okay, Dad, I understand, go ahead and get busy."

Zhang Yunli nodded, walked up to Chen Zixuan and the other three, looked at them carefully, and had some concerns in his mind.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Hongguo said nothing more and walked towards the irrigation side with his hands behind his back.

"The three of you just finish pulling out this piece of grass. Remember, this is the grass that needs to be pulled out. Don't mistake the grass with the corn seedlings."

He pulled out a handful of grass himself and asked Chen Zixuan and others to identify it, fearing that they would make a mistake and even he would be scolded.

They all nodded. Chen Zixuan looked at the tall grass and the tender green corn seedlings. There was nothing similar between them. There shouldn't be any mistake, right?
