Early the next morning, the work bell rang. The educated youth have not yet adapted to this kind of life, so they did not react in the morning. A group of people got up late one after another and rushed to work without even eating breakfast.

"What's wrong with you educated youths? You're late for work on your first day."

Gu Daquan scolded with a dark face.

Today he came to count people as usual. Everyone was there except the educated youth.

Thinking of this, Gu Daquan became even more angry. This was his attitude on the first day. If he didn't punish them this time, would they be late every day in the future?

No, we can’t start this. Otherwise, how will we manage these educated youth in the future?

"You are late on the first day of work. I must severely criticize you for your work attitude. I see that you are all educated people. I heard that the school punishes students by asking them to write self-criticisms. Then each of you will write an 800-word essay. Review, reflect on your mistakes. Next time our team holds a meeting, you all should come up and read the review."

Although the educated youths were not very happy, this punishment was not very difficult for them. They thought they would not offend the captain too much, so no one spoke out against it.

Gu Daquan saw that the educated youths had a good attitude towards admitting their mistakes, and his anger gradually subsided, and he did not embarrass the educated youths too much in the subsequent assigned tasks.

"Everyone has gone to work now. Only a few of you have not been assigned work because you are late. You are all from the city, and you should have never done farm work before going to the countryside. Since this is your first time doing farm work, I also I won’t embarrass you and assign you the easiest job.”

"Female educated youth are going to pick cotton, and male educated youth are going to break corn cobs. Now I can let you do easy work, but after a while when you get used to it, I will make your labor more difficult. Especially male educated youth, if You always do easy jobs that don’t pay you much, and the cents you earn are not enough for you, and you can’t support yourself at all.”

The educated youths responded one after another.

In fact, in the past two years, their school has organized agricultural studies, so they have actually done farm work several times.

In addition, when the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside first started, the appearance and experiences of those educated youth who voluntarily signed up to build rural areas made them aware of the hard work of farm work.

Therefore, they had already anticipated their life after going to the countryside. Therefore, the educated youth were very happy with Gu Daquan's decision to arrange easy work for them at the beginning.

But it was expected, and when it came time to actually do it, these educated youths who rarely did farm work couldn't bear it for a while.

On the female educated youth side, Lin Xiaoyun was the first to stop. She squatted on the ground and wiped the sweat from her face, and for a moment she didn't move.

Team leader Dong Dayuan saw her stop and shouted quickly:

"What's wrong with that guy squatting on the ground, Lin Zhiqing? Why don't you get up quickly and keep working. Don't be lazy."

"I'm sorry, I really can't do it anymore. I've been bending down for too long and I can't stand up straight."

Lin Xiaoyun gasped slightly.

Team leader Dong Dayuan frowned:

"How long has it been? Look how much cotton you have harvested from the land you were responsible for? Get up quickly and keep working. Don't be too nagging, or I'll deduct your work points."

Lin Xiaoyun gritted his teeth, stood up, and continued to do the work he had not finished before.

Seeing this, Dong Dayuan was satisfied, and then looked at the others. Seeing this, he frowned again.

"That one over there, Li Zhiqing. What about you, do you hear me? Don't always be lazy when I'm not paying attention. Can you have some consciousness?"

Li Juan, who was taking advantage of Dong Dayuan to scold Lin Xiaoyun for being lazy, heard the words and quickly continued the action at hand.

Dong Dayuan stopped talking for a moment, but after this time, he paid more attention to several female educated youths.

Things are not going well for the male educated youth. Compared with the members of the same group who are accustomed to farm work, their speed is too slow.

Their team leader, He Nian, was also dissatisfied with their performance.

"Can you educated youths hurry up? Look at other members, they are almost finished, how much have you done now? If this continues, you won't be able to complete the task by nightfall. Don't slow down the progress of our group, we won't be able to complete it. I will deduct your work points."

The three male educated youths have tried their best, but they rarely did farm work before and they really couldn't do it at the same speed as these commune members who often did farm work.

Now being scolded by He Nian again, he was momentarily upset. But it was true that they were slow, and it was difficult to refute it out loud, so they all said nothing and just tried to speed up the movements of their hands.

But He Nian was still not satisfied. He named Du Xuan, the slowest among them.

"Du Xuan, you are a grown man, why are your hands and feet so slow? Didn't I tell you to move faster? I think the women in this production team have much sharper hands and feet than you."

Du Xuan's body was not very strong to begin with, and his work had already made him very irritable. Now that he was singled out by He Nian, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and retorted loudly to He Nian:

"Is this necessary? I've tried my best. It's not like you do farm work every day. I rarely do it. Isn't it normal to move slower than you? If I don't finish it, you will deduct cents from me at worst. There is no need to do it. It’s a weird place here.”

He Nian was furious after hearing this.

"As the team leader, it is my duty to point out your problems. Are you unwilling to obey my management by contradicting me like this? Let me tell you, you are in our Xiangrong Brigade now, not in your city. Come on. If you join our brigade, you must obey our rules, otherwise you will go back to your city."

Du Xuan became even more angry and clenched his fists. Under the influence of various reasons, he couldn't control his anger and actually wanted to rush up and beat He Nian.

Wang Aiguo on the side saw something was wrong and grabbed Du Xuan in time.

Wang Aiguo was relatively strong, but Du Xuan couldn't get away for a while.

"Let me go quickly, Shi Ke can't bear it anymore, I have to beat him today."

He Nian burst out laughing after hearing this.

"You little pretty boy, just come over here. I'll see if you beat me or I beat you. Don't let me do it before you can't do it."

Du Xuan became even more angry and rushed over regardless.

Wang Aiguo didn't notice for a moment, but he actually broke away from him. Du Xuan rushed forward and started fighting with He Nian.

But after a while, he fell into a disadvantage and was suppressed and beaten by He Nian.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wu Jianshe and Wang Aiguo rushed forward to hold He Nian back.

"What are you doing? Stop it."

Gu Daquan rushed over. There was no commune meeting today, so he was supervising the work of the commune members in the brigade. He happened to be nearby when Du Xuan and He Nian were fighting. Seeing that something was wrong here, he hurried over.
