Chapter 116 The Old Educated Youth Invites Me to Dinner
After arriving at the place where the brigade assigned public tasks, Captain Zhou went to discuss the next distribution tasks and public proportions with the branch secretary and other village cadres.
In fact, the main thing was to discuss Lin Sitian's work points, because the work his brother did for her could offset hers. Even if Xiao Lin, the educated youth, went to work with her, he didn't have to wait until the end of the work day to leave, because the combined work points of the two brothers and sisters could total 20 points before the end of the work day.
And 20 work points is the daily limit for their team, so they discussed it today and decided to tell Xiao Lin Ziqin clearly that he can do his own thing after completing his tasks.
Zhou Tinghao, who was standing by and quietly listening to his father and other uncles' discussion, was secretly happy in his heart because neither he nor his buddies worked at full strength yesterday.
If he could finish work early, he would have more time to help Baidunzi collect firewood, and he could also go to the mountain with his buddies to explore if there were any suspicious places.
He waited for the arrival of the rest of the troops. Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Zhou Tinghao thought about going to his buddies' side as soon as possible and talking to the white-faced people for a few more words.
Before I got there, I saw a few old educated youth talking to the team leader of their courtyard.
As he approached, he vaguely heard a few words: "Don't forget to come." "Everyone must come!" and so on.
He only heard a few words, and he didn't know the purpose of those people coming, so when he came to his buddy, he pretended to be curious and asked:
"Hey, why did Brother Lin and the others come to see you? I heard that everyone has to go, so why do you want to go too?"
When the other educated youth saw the team leader's youngest son coming again, and thought about the things they discussed after dinner yesterday, they all felt pressured and asked him why he came here.
Wang Wenxiang was also curious about the conversation Zhou Tinghao had just had, and saw that Lin Zhiqiang was not prepared to speak. Perhaps it was because this matter concerned their yard and was not Lin Zhiqiang's personal matter that he did not speak!
So Wang Wenxiang took the initiative to simplify the content and told Zhou Tinghao, who might be one of their future members:
"Hey, Xiao Zhou is here again. Those two just now were the former educated youth academy's team leader, Chen Peng, and the female director, Li Guihua. They came to tell us that since Qiushou and Lin Zhiqing's brother are here, they specially prepared a welcome party. They wanted to have a good meal and get together."
After hearing this, Zhou Tinghao felt that it must have been Xiong Dazhuang and the others who came up with this idea, and their intentions might not be pure. He looked up at his buddy, and sure enough, the look in his buddy's eyes was exactly what he was thinking.
It was just that it was inconvenient to say it out loud in this crowded place, so he just said, "That's pretty good, it's quite lively! When is it?"
Lin Zhiqiang wanted to tell his buddy the time, so he continued:
"Hey, this isn't their yard. There isn't much food there either. They said we should prepare some and go to their place for lunch two days later."
After a few people chatted like this, the team leader basically finished assigning the tasks. As expected by the people in the Youth League Committee, the team leader assigned his beloved youngest son to their director's side, and he was in the same team with Lin Zhiqing!
But what they didn't expect was that after assigning these tasks, the team leader specifically told Lin Sitian that she could leave work early if she completed the tasks ahead of schedule.
In fact, ever since Zhou Tinghao came to their side, Lin Sitian felt itchy all over when she noticed Zhou Tinghao's vague eyes floating on her.
Now that she heard that she could leave work early, Lin Sitian was briefly confused and then thought that she had her brother helping her at work, and since she was working too, she would definitely be able to easily get 20 work points.
Then, couldn't I leave work early, go up the mountain to dig herbs, and mix them with the medicines or spiritual springs in my own space to make a lot of ointments or potions for my brother to bring to the army?
Thinking of this, he decided to leave work early today.
The people in their yard moved all the corn from the entire piece of land allocated to them yesterday, and were allocated another piece of land today.
Because there are many people and the team leader distributes the corn according to the harvest method of harvesting one crop before another, the team's corn can probably be moved today and they will have to move to another job tomorrow.
Although I was assigned to move corn in another cornfield,
But the personnel remained the same, so they decided to assign the task to yesterday's group.
Zhou Tinghao wanted to give the boiled egg in his pocket to Bai Dianzi, but seeing so many people around, he knew that he couldn't give it to Bai Dianzi so blatantly when Bai Dianzi hadn't agreed to be his partner, otherwise people would talk about it.
This resulted in him not carrying the corn on his back immediately, but standing near Lin Sitian and helping her move the corn, while paying attention to the people around him.
Finally, he waited for an opportunity when Yun Ya was not near Lin Sitian. Seeing that the opportunity had come, he hurriedly took off his gloves, took out the egg from his pocket and handed it to Lin Sitian.
As he handed it back, he said, "Xiao Lin, educated youth, please take this egg. If you are tired of carrying corn by yourself, eat an egg to replenish your body."
Lin Sitian looked at Zhou Yanhao, who had been following her around and moving corn since the task was assigned, and occasionally glanced at her. Lin Sitian smiled and said:
"I haven't even agreed to date you yet, and you're already sending me eggs. Aren't you afraid I'll trick you into eating them and then stop dating you??·??·??*?? ??."
Zhou Tinghao, dazzled by the smile, couldn't listen to any of the words. He just smiled foolishly:
"Even if you don't agree to be with me, I'm happy to give you these things. This is my own free will."
Looking at the man with a worthless smile, Lin Sitian took the egg he handed to her. After all, although she didn't agree now, the probability of him agreeing to her was still quite high. It was only right for her to eat some of his food during the pursuit.
After taking the egg, Lin Sitian urged with a smile:
"Okay, I'll take the eggs. Go do your own thing. There's a big pile of corn over there. You can start carrying it now."
Seeing that the eggs he gave out were accepted, Zhou Tinghao seemed to be encouraged. With his beloved white dough smiling at him, Zhou Tinghao obediently left the place where corn was being moved.
He went to the place where corn was carried, looking back every few steps, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Lin Zhiqiang's droopy and ugly face.
After all, others may be embarrassed to peek or because Zhou Tinghao has made a special observation to make sure no one sees what is happening there, but who is Lin Zhiqiang?
He's the man's best friend and the woman's older brother, among the two people who secretly delivered the eggs! ＼(`Δ')／
Therefore, Lin Zhiqiang watched the whole process of his sister smiling at his brother. After seeing this scene, although he hoped that his brother and his sister would be together, he still felt very unhappy, so he hung his face and turned his face away from his brother.
Seeing Lin Zhiqiang's unhappy expression, Zhou Tinghao was not angry. Instead, he happily followed his buddy to pick up the corn on the ground and put it into the backpack.
As the two of them carried the backpack to a place where no one was passing by, Lin Zhiqiang, although putting on a serious face, still told his buddy word for word what his sister and he had said yesterday.
After hearing all this and adding his mother's analysis to his understanding, Zhou Tinghao knew that this was what it meant for him to pursue her!
If he could impress the white-dough boy, he could legitimately call his buddy brother-in-law. However, thinking about how the white-dough boy had just accepted his eggs and said those words to him with a smile, he felt that his chances of success were 90%.
As long as you are smart and don't make mistakes, you will definitely win the girl's heart.
So the two of them didn't discuss this matter in the following conversation, but just discussed going to the mountain to explore if they could finish work early.
And analyzing the reason why the old educated youth invited them to dinner, both of them knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet, so they discussed how to deal with it that day.
