"Xu Yin..."
When work was finished that morning, Captain Fu looked at Xu Yin with such kind and kind eyes.
Xu Yin: "..."
What do you want to say?
"I didn't expect you to be so strong even though you look so thin! No wonder you can catch a roe deer by yourself."
After a pause, he said thankfully: "Fortunately, you are in the team."
Without her, how could I have eaten meat on the first day?
Without her, I wouldn't have been able to get along well with the villagers in such a short period of time.
Now, because of a meal of "pork-killing vegetables", he has become closer to the villagers, and the friendship between the two parties has reached a state of harmony in advance. For the newly arrived land reclamation team, it couldn't be better.
Without her, the male compatriots would not have been inspired to forge ahead with their pioneering spirit, and the results on the first day of pioneering would not have been so significant.
Looking at the area of cultivated land that the first group of comrades had opened with great enthusiasm, a vague intuition told him: at this speed, let alone keeping up with the spring plowing, it is possible to overtake the local villagers.
"Anyway, good job!" The excited Captain Fu patted Xu Yin's shoulder excitedly, "Keep up the energy, work hard and work hard! I will write your deeds into the report when the time comes."
Write it into a report?
Xu Yin's mouth twitched slightly: "That's not necessary."
"You want what you want." Captain Fu thought she was modest, and he felt deeply that Comrade Xu Yin was not only hard-working, practical and capable, but also low-key and humble and did not ask for credit.
The more humble she is, the more he wants to set her up as a role model - a model for everyone in the reclamation team to learn from.
During lunch, Xiao Jing ran to Xu Yin's small single room with her lunch box in hand and said excitedly: "Xu Yin, you are so awesome! You have brought glory to our female compatriots! Listening to the captain's tone, if our team also has the opportunity to comment on Model worker, you do your part!”
Xu Yin is not interested in model workers, she is more concerned about her smoked venison.
Aunt Fang helped her smoke the remaining pieces of meat this morning, carried them over with hemp ropes, and asked her to hang them on the beam.
Xu Yin gave her a small piece as a reward, and Aunt Fang smiled happily.
"Then I won't be polite, ma'am! Eat your meat sparingly, you can eat it until the spring plowing is over."
Xu Yin thought so too.
She is greedy for meat, but she can't make small meals for herself often. After all, two of her colleagues and the aunt's two daughters were sleeping just across the wall, and the beams were connected. If you ate some hot meat dishes, the aroma would immediately spread to the next door.
So I took this method to give myself some publicity.
After Aunt Fang left, Xu Yin stood at the end of the kang, stood on tiptoes and hung the bacon on the rafters.
Huang Xiaohong looked up at her with envy - and the bacon hanging in her hand, and couldn't help but say: "If it's hanging like this, there will be oil dripping down, right?"
When Xu Yin thought it made sense, she went out and asked her aunt to borrow a stool, stood on the stool, and moved the bacon to a place so that even if the oil dripped, it would not fall on the kang.
Xu Yin clapped her hands: "Done."
Huang Xiaohong: "..."
I thought I would share some for myself to try.
Cheapskate! Stingy! Bai reminded her!
Xiao Jing has no ambitions. Apart from envy, she is happy for Xu Yin: "The male compatriots are saying that they will save some rations and trade them with you for a bite of bacon. Xu Yin, you can save your own rations and send them back tomorrow." It helps support the family.”
Xu Yin: "..."
Save food rations for your best family members?
Forget it, she doesn’t deserve to be a big grievance!
She asked Xiao Jing: "Do you often save food rations for your family?"
"No! I have four siblings. I am the eldest, with two younger sisters and one younger brother. My younger brother is our parents' support in the future, and we must not raise him well. So, we three sisters, whatever good things we can eat, I would rather go hungry by myself for my brother."
Xu Yin took a look at her figure. She was indeed taller than herself, but she was also thinner. Was it because she was hungry to save food?
"Is your brother good to you?"
"He is only thirteen on New Year's Day, and he is very naughty. He will become more sensible when he grows up."
When Xu Yin heard this: Does that mean you are ignorant?
If this continues, Xiao Jing will sooner or later become a typical "sister who helps her younger brother and is a devil".
Xu Yin brainwashed her by the way:
"Jing, I think you are hurting him by doing this. The reason why men can shoulder the responsibilities of the family, raising parents and raising children, is precisely because they can endure hardship since childhood. People who have endured hardship are particularly responsible. Look at your family, whenever there is a bite to eat, you stick to him first. In the most difficult years, he was not hungry, right? If things go on like this, he will develop a temperament that does not know the sufferings of the world. Do you think it is not you who are in trouble? You will solve it for him. Then how can you take on the responsibility of being the breadwinner of the family?"
"Is...is that so?"
Xiao Jing was stunned.
Xu Yin nodded solemnly: "Of course! Only by enduring hardship can you become a master! Don't you want your brother to stand out and become a master?"
"Of course I hope he will succeed! He is the hope and the only root of our old Xiao family!"
"That's right!"
"..."
Huang Xiaohong's thoughts were a little confused while listening to the conversation between the two people, and she couldn't help but ask herself: Is it true? Only through hard work can one stand out? If you can't endure hardship, it means you have no future?
Think about yourself, after coming here, you have indeed been complaining that life is too hard and want to go home. If the captain hears this and writes a negative review on her organizational evaluation, even if she is given a job when she returns, it will not matter. It will be an important position. Moreover, that comment will remain with her forever and affect her future.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaohong suddenly realized that Xu Yin's words were reminding her, and Xiao Jing's brother was just a casual person.
After this, Huang Xiaohong looked at Xu Yin with admiration, as if she was looking at a wise elder.
Xu Yin was disgusted by her.
What happened to this girl? Could it be that you have a crush on her?
This little girl's eyes were so hot that she almost couldn't resist.
Fortunately, we had to build a house after finishing the work. By the time the house was finished, everyone was almost exhausted. When we got back, we wanted to spread out on the bed, but we still had the energy to rush out of the door.
Therefore, the captain blew the whistle: "Gather! Let's build a house!"
Xu Yin was always the first to respond, rushing out in one stride, as excited as a bird letting itself fly.
Everyone looked at her cheerful back, their eyes indescribably complicated: After a busy day, she is still so energetic? Comrade Xu Yin is so motivated! What a shame!
Day after day, we are clearing wasteland and building houses, and gradually come to spring plowing.
Xu Yin's pioneer land reclamation team has reclaimed about a hundred acres of land in these ten days.
Not to mention the reclamation team, the villagers in Hewozitun found this achievement incredible.
"The land is so hard that it takes a lot of effort to weed and pick rocks. How did you manage to cultivate over a hundred acres in just ten days?"
