Zheng Jun actually got a handful of peanuts, and was very satisfied with the job of picking up people.

There weren't many peanuts, but at least he could satisfy his cravings on the way.

He didn't go directly to the town, but went to the brigade next door first, negotiated the business, and then went to pick up people. He arrived a little late, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw several people inside staring at him.

Zheng Jun was stunned, "Are these all?"

No way, there must be seven or eight people, and so many people have never been assigned at one time in the past.

"All of them, the quota has been recorded, you just take them back." The office staff smiled.

Zheng Jun didn't dare to agree, and at least asked clearly: "Isn't it possible to go to four or five people at most? Why are so many assigned at once this time? How are other brigades arranged?"

I wanted to be vague, but I couldn't be vague, so I could only say it directly, "You also know the situation of other brigades. The educated youth are a burden to them. Your brigade has a brick factory, which is more or less surplus than other brigades..."

In the end, it was just to ask the Liangjia Brigade to help raise more people.

Zheng Jun rolled his eyes, but didn't refuse.

Even if there were more candidates this time, they wouldn't be a burden to the brigade, but that was the truth. He definitely couldn't say that, and he had to play the victim.

Finally, in front of the eight people, Zheng Jun wrinkled his face and told the brigade's difficulties one by one. He said it was as miserable as it could be. The office staff definitely didn't believe it, but the Liangjia Brigade did a lot of work in the allocation of candidates this time, so they could only agree.

He agreed here, but the other educated youth didn't know.

The living conditions in the Liangjia Brigade were really difficult, and they were a little worried for a while. This was a place where they would stay for several years or even more than ten years in the future.

Half an hour later, Zheng Jun led the eight people to the Liangjia Brigade.

He had borrowed the team's bullock cart to travel, and it was just right for him to take people back. But with so many people coming, there was no room for them to sit, so he said, "Put your luggage on it."

"Comrade Zheng, how long will it take?"

"Can you squeeze in on the bullock cart? I really can't walk anymore."

"There are still two empty seats here, how about the female comrades go up and sit first?" A bookish male educated youth spoke up, and his eyes fell on the female comrades beside him.

There were three female comrades among the eight people this time, and Comrade Zou Qi made people unable to help but look at her, "Comrade Zou, you look the most frail, why don't you go up and rest for a while."

Zou Qi was not surprised, she had already adapted to this kind of scene, and many times she didn't need to take the initiative, and someone would grab what she wanted for her.

She actually still had some strength, but if she had a choice, she naturally didn't want to walk back on her own.

Unfortunately, she met a nemesis.

Zheng Jun glanced at the male educated youth, "Two of the three female educated youths are riding in the ox cart, what about the other one? Will you carry him back?"

The male educated youth blushed. Not to mention whether the other person was willing to let him carry him, he couldn't even walk now, how could he carry the other person?

Zheng Jun patted the ox's body, "Do you know how precious this ox is? During the busy farming season, it can handle eight of you. It's already very good to put your luggage on it. You're still thinking of squeezing people on it. You'll pay for it if it gets tired?"

This is really true.

If you ask a farmer whether he wants a cow or eight educated youths to help, if Su Zhiqing is not among the eight educated youths, they will definitely choose the cow without a second thought.

No one will waste a cow if they have one. On weekdays, when they go out, they would rather walk by themselves than let the cow get tired. But this group of people, not only are they dragging the luggage of eight people, but they also want to add two more people. What a joke.

Zheng Qun patted the cow's body and walked forward directly, regardless of whether the people behind could keep up.

Some people who were left behind were very dissatisfied. When they were about to complain, the others followed them forward. Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away, they didn't say anything more and hurried forward.

On the way to the Liangjia Brigade, Zou Qi strode forward and walked to Zheng Jun's side and looked at him. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a little throbbing in her heart when she saw his face.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Jun glanced at her, reached into his pocket, and took out two peanuts that slipped through the net after a long time. In his heart, female comrades were not as important as these two peanuts.

Zou Qi recovered and her face flushed slightly.

She never thought that there would be a day when she would be so absorbed in looking at a man, but... he made her feel familiar for some reason.

She shook her head and stopped thinking: "Excuse me, comrade, is Su Lin in your brigade?"

Zheng Jun looked at her straight in the eye, "Do you know Su Zhiqing?"

Zou Qi nodded, "He and I are from the same place, and we are high school classmates."

Zheng Jun seemed to remember something, "It turned out to be you."

Zou Qi curled his lips slightly, "Su Zhiqing mentioned me to you?"

Zheng Jun shook his head, "Did you write a letter to Su Zhiqing? I helped to get the letter. The little comrade is brave enough to chase here for the person you like."

"What, what?!" The smile on Zou Qi's face froze. She likes Su Lin?

"Still pretending." Zheng Jun chuckled twice and pointed to the path in front: "We are here, the Liangjia Brigade is in front."

Deliberately changing the subject is to avoid embarrassing the female comrade.

He and Lian Zi had joked before that a female comrade sent a letter to Su Zhiqing, but Su Zhiqing didn't reply. I guess she didn't plan to have much contact with this female comrade.

Who would have thought that the female comrade would travel thousands of miles to follow him here? She is so infatuated.

Zou Qi didn't know what this person was thinking, but she was very upset.

But after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. It was good for her to come to Liangjia Brigade. At least she had acquaintances here, and it was better to have someone to protect her than to be completely unfamiliar with the place.

When they came to the educated youth house to understand the general situation, Zou Qi couldn't help but be surprised, "Su Lin founded a brick factory? And he became the factory director?"

How is it possible?

How did he do it?

It is undeniable that Su Lin is really smart. At least he has always been at the top of the class in his studies. There are some shining points, otherwise she would not be closer to Su Lin among so many suitors.

But Zou Qi never thought that Su Lin would do such a thing in this remote little place.

Factory director.

This is much better than ordinary workers in the city.

He can make such a great achievement in less than a year, which is enough to prove that he may develop better in the future.

For a while, Zou Qi thought a lot, and the most important thing was whether he could use Su Lin's relationship to enter the brick factory. Having a job is better than working in the fields.

I heard that the lowest salary in the factory is over 30, which is almost as high as the regular workers her mother let go in the city.

"Comrade Zou, I heard that you know Su Lin?" someone asked curiously, and asked this question because he heard her and Zheng Jun talking on the road just now.

With this question, everyone in the educated youth room looked at her.

Zou Qi said generously with a suitable smile: "Yes, he and I were high school classmates."

She was not afraid of others knowing, but it was better to know. There were too many conveniences that a factory director could bring. With this relationship, at least she didn't have to worry about being bullied in the team.

At this time, Zou Qi wanted to meet Su Lin.

Unfortunately, Su Lin didn't return to the educated youth room until the night, so she could only go back to the room to rest and make plans tomorrow.

The next day, the eight new educated youth were assigned to the task of weeding.

Aunt Huang was still watching here. If they stopped to take a breath, Aunt Huang would start yelling, so that they didn't dare to stop what they were doing.

How could they have suffered such hardships? After only half a day, she was exhausted and panting.

Even Zou Qi couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, she wanted to find Su Lin more and more. She had been prepared to endure hardships before coming, but she never thought that she would fail on the first day.

Finally, when it was time for a break at noon, Zou Qi found out the location of the brick factory and went to find someone directly.

There is no gate in the brick factory now. People who come in can just walk in without saying hello.

In this way, Zou Qi quickly found the person she was looking for.

Compared with the past, Su Lin looked much thinner and his skin was tanned, but now he had a temperament that he didn't have before. At first, she didn't understand, but later she found that Su Lin was more confident now, which made him look more dazzling.

Su Lin was discussing the construction of the factory with the construction team with the drawings.

Before, it was just a shed, but now the brick factory has made a profit, so of course the money must be used to build a real factory.

As he was talking, the man next to him raised his chin, "Director Su, is that comrade looking for you?"

Su Lin tilted his head to look, and was not surprised to see the person coming.

After explaining a few things to these people, he walked in front of Zou Qi, "Let's find a place to talk?"

Zou Qi looked at him and nodded.

Before coming, she was still very confident, thinking that even if they hadn't met for such a long time, Su Lin should agree to her request. Even if he couldn't arrange her directly to the factory, he could make her life easier by relying on his prestige in the brigade.

But now, Zou Qi is not sure.

She believes in her intuition, and can see that Su Lin's eyes no longer have the love for her, but she still asked with a glimmer of hope: "I didn't expect that the days in the countryside would be so hard. You should also know my ability to do things. Can you give me a chance to enter the factory?"

Su Lin shook his head, "Although I am the director, I don't have the qualifications. All the workers in the factory came in by themselves. I won't favor anyone."

Zou Qi pursed his lips and stared at the other person.

There was some silence between the two, and Su Lin said, "If there is nothing else, I will go to work first?"

"Su Lin!" Zou Qi called him, even though it was a little embarrassing, she still plucked up the courage to ask, "Is there still a possibility between us?"

It's not that she had never thought about what kind of person she wanted to marry before.

At that time, no matter how she thought about it, she didn't consider Su Lin as a candidate, but now she felt that if it was the man in front of her, she shouldn't feel reluctant.

However, Su Lin smiled: "You said that I am just your classmate, and now I want to say this to you."

So, there is absolutely no possibility between them.

Not wanting to waste time any more, he gestured to her and continued to discuss the factory.

Zou Qi's face became particularly ugly, she stomped her feet fiercely, and finally turned and left.

Zou Qi was angry, but she was never a person who pestered others. Knowing that she couldn't get any benefits from Su Lin, she could only rely on other means.

New educated youth who came to Liangjia Brigade would be assigned a few days of light tasks, which were jobs for the elderly or children, and they would receive the lowest four work points.

Once they had adapted to the new jobs, they would be assigned to other jobs.

For farmers who were used to doing the work, this was not too tiring, but for educated youth from the city, no one could bear it.

On this day, when Captain Liang and Su Lin were calculating the shipment volume, a man rushed over and said, "The captain is not good, the new educated youth has fainted."

Captain Liang was shocked, "Hurry up and send it to town."

"Send it, send it, that lesbian's face is very pale, she feels like she will soon be out of breath." The visitor was extremely panicked, if the new educated youth really died... Bah, bah, bah, this kind of thing is terrible. Don't think randomly.

Su Lin asked: "Who is the unconscious person?"

"It's Comrade Zou Qi."

Su Lin raised his eyebrows, not too surprised.

There was also such an incident in the original article. Zou Qi really couldn't stand the life of staying in the brigade doing farm work, so she directed and acted in it.

She pretended to be comatose while working once, making everyone think that she was in poor health and could not bear the high-intensity farm work. When Captain Liang was struggling with how to arrange her work, Zou Qi offered to earn the minimum work points. It won't cause any trouble to the team.

Earning the minimum work points will not amount to much when the food is equally divided. It may not be enough for one person to spend for a year, so no matter how tired they are, the educated youth will work obediently.

Unless you have some financial resources, you don’t live off your work points.

Zou Qi didn't have much financial resources. Even though she took some money from that family this time because of the quota for going to the countryside, it was not enough for her to live a good life after buying some things.

Especially after staying in the brigade for who knows how many years, if you keep sitting on nothing, sooner or later the money in your pocket will be spent. Therefore, Zou Qi created a better family image for herself in front of others, and her family would send her things and money from time to time, even if she didn't need it. You can live a life without worrying about food even if you work hard.

But in fact, Zou Qi often sneaks into the town when he is not working, and relies on his good cooking skills to work in the black market.

The endless money she had in hand was not sent from her family, but was actually earned on the black market.

It was also there that I met Zheng Jun who was also on an adventure.

At that time, Zheng County did not have a formal job that paid monthly wages like it does now. Because of an accident, Mr. Zheng was injured and needed money. He had no choice but to secretly trade in the black market to make money.

After the two met, it didn't take long for them to work together.

One has good cooking skills, the other has a good mind for business, and they are very cautious. Even if there is a crisis during the period, the two of them get through it without any danger.

Come to think of it, Zou Qi is making this plan now.

But this time Zheng Jun will definitely not be in the black market, so I don’t know if she can persist on her own.
