Gu Qiu cheerfully greeted, "Hey! Shen Zhao, you're carrying dung too."
Ji Bai slowed his steps, walking alongside Shen Zhao, "Educated Youth Shen, good morning."
Wen Yixun, following behind Gu Qiu, also turned and greeted, "Good morning, Educated Youth Shen."
Wang Nan struggled to carry two dung buckets, swaying with each step, like Lin Daiyu.
Shen Zhao responded to each of them.
Gu Qiu carried two buckets with no effort at all, "I thought the Village Party Secretary was targeting me, but after walking here, I realized it wasn't just me; everyone is carrying dung."
Shen Zhao: ....
As expected of Gu Naive, truly naive.
Doesn't she realize that among those carrying dung, there are only the five of us educated youth?
Wen Yixun, however, looked at Gu Qiu with admiration, "Educated Youth Gu is amazing, I didn't see that at all."
As soon as he said that, Wang Nan's foot slipped, and she fell directly into the field.
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Wen Yixun, "The landlord's idiot son is out."
Wen Yixun turned his head, "Where? Are there still landlords in this remote place? Let me see."
Wang Nan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She turned her head away, deciding not to talk to the idiot.
Gu Qiu's eyes were hazy, as if she understood but didn't quite.
Shen Zhao held her forehead. These two are six of one, half a dozen of the other; Gu Qiu is only slightly better than Wen Yixun.
She looked at Ji Bai and chose her words carefully, "All these years, you've been looking after him?"
Ji Bai smiled dotingly, "Yes, his parents are quite busy."
Shen Zhao sympathized, "You've worked hard, it must not have been easy."
"I'm used to it," Ji Bai explained calmly, "It's not that we were being targeted, it's that all five of us were targeted together."
The Village Party Secretary was in charge of assigning tasks today, and recalling yesterday's events.
It was clear what was going on.
Wang Nan's sweet voice rang out, "I heard that the girl who handed out sickles yesterday is the Village Party Secretary's daughter, named Tan Meifang.
She hates female educated youth who are prettier than her, and she likes the good-looking male educated youth." As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully at Ji Bai and Wen Yixun.
What taste Tan Meifang has; these two men are both uncouth, and neither would help the delicate me.
Gu Qiu also remembered, "I heard an aunt from my group say that the Village Party Secretary wants his daughter to marry someone from the city. He dotes on her, doesn't let her do heavy work, and at 23, she still hasn't had an arranged meeting for marriage."
Shen Zhao understood, it seemed it was him.
She was too thin now, not looking good, so she got a good sickle.
Gu Qiu and Wang Nan were both fair-skinned and beautiful. Gu Qiu was the lively and enthusiastic type.
Wang Nan, on the other hand, had the typical delicate and fair-skinned appearance of a wilting flower.
These two.
Either one of them, taken individually, was far more attractive than others.
That's why they were targeted and given broken sickles.
Yesterday, when they were called out for reporting, the five of them stood together, so they were naturally targeted together.
With so many people, it was hard to argue that he was discriminating.
Besides, they weren't the only ones carrying dung.
Truly despicable.
When it came to scheming, it had to be an old fox like the Village Party Secretary.
She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, saying to them, "Do you dare to offend the Village Party Secretary one more time?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Wen Yixun was the first to respond.
When he was in the compound, he was a troublemaker; he had even blown up the leader's outhouse, so he wasn't afraid of anything.
Gu Qiu immediately agreed, "I can't stand this injustice."
Ji Bai's lips curved into a foxy smile, "We've already offended him, so we have nothing to lose."
Wang Nan hesitated, her voice soft and sweet, "I'm scared."
"Fine, we won't take you," Shen Zhao didn't mind.
"How should we do it? I'll listen to you!" Wang Nan quickly spoke, afraid Shen Zhao would really leave her behind.
Just being a little coy, why be so serious? She's a lady...
Shen Zhao beckoned everyone, and they gathered in a circle.
After listening to her speak softly.
Wen Yixun let out a devilish cackle.
Gu Qiu was eager to try.
Wang Nan's expression was strange; she regretted participating a little...
Ji Bai looked helpless, "Isn't this like hurting a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of our own?"
Shen Zhao crossed her arms and stood on her tiptoes, looking like a female bandit, "Just tell me, is it satisfying or not?"
Indeed, with Ji Bai's intelligence, there were countless ways to scheme against the Village Party Secretary, even causing him to lose his position.
But no method was as satisfying as this.
Let's do it!
"Let's go! I'll go first," Wen Yixun carried his dung bucket and rushed forward.
The five of them formed a beautiful scene on the field ridges, illuminated by the green mountains.
The Production Brigade had dug several fixed public toilets in the village, right next to the pigsty, mainly for composting.
These were the most important farm fertilizers.
Shen Zhao and the others arrived at the dung-carrying point. The overwhelming stench made people's heads spin.
..Regretted it.
The five of them stood far away, none of them able to start.
Shen Zhao placed the dung bucket next to Ji Bai, "Educated Youth Ji, you know, I'm delicate and can't take care of myself, so I'll trouble you."
He wants to pursue her, so he should help her scoop the dung first.
Ji Bai twitched his mouth and handed over his own bucket and three others to Wen Yixun.
"Brother, this task will determine if we can turn the tables. It's all up to you, go for it."
Wen Yixun felt incredibly majestic and manly at that moment.
He was practically the hope of the entire village, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "No problem, easy peasy." He even took Gu Qiu's bucket, "Educated Youth Gu, I'll help you."
Gu Qiu suppressed her nausea and offered a mask, "Then I'll trouble you."
Wen Yixun felt incredibly pleased with the praise.
"It's no trouble! Serving everyone."
Wang Nan's eyes flickered, and she quickly put down her bucket, "Brother Yixun, you're so amazing!"
And so, the four of them stood in a line, twenty meters apart, watching Wen Yixun fill all the dung buckets by himself.
"Don't fill them too full, or they'll be hard to carry!" Shen Zhao quickly directed.
Before long, the five of them left carrying half-full buckets of dung.
Aunt Gui Hua had already made one trip. As she was returning for her second trip, she saw the five of them heading to the fields and almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
Shen Zhao stumbled, and the dung that splashed out went directly onto Aunt Gui Hua's feet.
One of Aunt Gui Hua's feet was soaked in feces water. Enraged, she yelled, "Educated Youth Shen! Are you blind? Didn't you see me? You owe me fifty yuan for my shoes."
Shen Zhao was speechless. If she could afford shoes that cost fifty yuan, Shen Zhao would do a headstand while washing her hair.
She ignored Aunt Gui Xiang and ran away quickly with the dung.
She disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Aunt Gui Xiang: ...She runs fast when it's time to escape.
Village officials must also lead by example.
After the tasks were assigned, He Jianping stayed in another area, leaving this place entirely to the Village Party Secretary.
He was standing on the field ridge, watching everyone work.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed. Something seemed to be flying towards him from a distance. The Village Party Secretary rubbed his eyes.
Now he could see clearly. It was Educated Youth Shen, carrying two buckets of dung, running faster than a flying bird.
The Village Party Secretary's eyelids twitched; he had a bad premonition.
Seeing Shen Zhao getting closer and closer, he instinctively turned and ran, his whole body resisting.
Don't come over here!!
The next moment,
Bang!
Shen Zhao stumbled about three steps away from him. The shoulder pole, along with the dung buckets, flew towards the Village Party Secretary due to inertia.
As luck would have it, one bucket of dung landed perfectly on his head.
..The world fell silent.
