In the afternoon, Zhou Yang translated journals in the office for more than three hours. When the sun was no longer so fierce, he walked to the fields with his work notes.
His job as a scorekeeper is not only to truthfully register the work points of each member, but also to serve as a supervisor and inspector.
Whether the members do well or not and how many points they can get, Zhou Yang basically has the final say.
Of course, if members are dissatisfied, they can report it to the team leader or branch secretary, who will then make the final decision.
Zhou Yang first walked around the dry land in Dongliang. Potatoes are grown here. At present, the work of the commune members is mainly to hoe and loosen the soil.
Compared with hoeing wheat, millet, corn, etc., the work of hoeing potato fields is relatively easy.
The reason is simple. Both the spacing between seedlings and the width of the ridges in potato fields are larger than those of other crops, so there is no need to worry about the seedlings being damaged by the hoe when hoeing.
Because of this, when assigning tasks, the team usually gives such work to younger children or female educated youth who are not very skilled in farm work.
The 400 acres of potato fields in Dongliang have been hoeed for a week, and now less than one-fifth is left. According to the production schedule, hoeing must be completed in these two days, otherwise it will affect the plowing work of the soybean fields behind.
Zhou Yang first stood on a mound and took a look. He didn't find anyone who had finished the work ahead of schedule, so he walked over one by one.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over to check the progress of the task, the members greeted him one after another.
Although quite a few people looked down on Zhou Yang's behavior of being a soft-boiler, no one dared to say anything to his face. After all, no one wanted to offend him, the "powerful" scorer.
Zhou Yang also responded to the greetings of the members one by one, with a very gentle attitude.
Although Babaoliang Village is remote and isolated, the people here are really simple and honest. Although not all of them are good people, there are also bad apples like Chen Jianying, Chen Gang and his son, but the vast majority of people are still kind.
For example, regarding the attitude towards these foreign educated youths, bullying of educated youths often occurs in other villages.
After all, when educated youths go to the countryside to jump in the queue, many people who don't understand the policy think that they are here to steal their jobs.
In some places, due to limited conditions, educated youths have to live in the homes of fellow villagers, which causes so many conflicts.
But none of these things happened in Babaoliang Village. Although the members did not agree with some of the actions of the educated youth, they did not criticize them too much and got along harmoniously with each other.
As a member of the educated youth, Zhou Yang is very grateful to the people in the village.
When he walked to the middle, Zhou Yang saw a familiar figure - Zhao Xue'e!
Zhao Xue'e is also an educated youth, but she is younger than Zhou Yang. She only joined the Babaoliang brigade last year, and Zhou Yang had already moved away from the educated youth camp at that time.
However, since the educated youths often go to the commune or work in the county together, they often meet each other, so they are familiar with each other.
Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, Zhao Xue'e showed a smile and said, "Brother Yang, are you here to check the mission?"
"Well, it depends on whether you do well. If you don't do well, your work points will be deducted!" Zhou Yang joked.
"I have learned how to hoe the ground. You must give me at least 7 work points today!" Zhao Xue'e said, waving a small hoe.
"Hahaha, if you can hoe to the end of the field when it's dark, I'll give you 7 work points!"
"Then let's make an agreement!"
"It's a deal!"
Seeing Zhou Yang preparing to go to the next club member, Zhao Xue'e suddenly said: "Brother Yang, if you have time, you'd better go see Sister Lu!"
"Shen Chenlu? What's wrong with her?" Zhou Yang asked with a frown.
"Sister Lu fainted this morning!"
"Why did she faint? Was it because of her hypoglycemia?" Zhou Yang asked in a deep voice.
"Maybe, I can't see clearly from a distance!"
"Then where is she now, the dormitory or the health center?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"I see Sister Liang Yue helped her back to the village, she should be at the dormitory!" Zhao Xue'e replied.
Zhou Yang nodded, then turned and walked towards the village.
Thinking of Shen Chenlu, Zhou Yang couldn't help but have a headache.
He and Shen Chenlu were both brothers from the big courtyard. The two families had a very good relationship before and could be regarded as family friends.
Shen Chenlu is two years younger than Zhou Yang and has been following Zhou Yang since he was a child, like a little tail.
Although the two of them didn't have any baby engagements, if nothing happened later, it would be almost natural for the two families to get married. Even Zhou Yang's parents always regarded Shen Chenlu as their daughter-in-law, and Shen Chenlu also enjoyed it.
But all this changed one day six years ago!
Suddenly something happened to the Zhou family, and even Zhou Yang, who was only 18 years old, was sent to Yunshan County, thousands of miles away from the capital.
After the incident happened, instead of helping, the Shen family hid far away for fear of being affected.
Even in the matter of Zhou's father being dealt with, Shen's father also played a disgraceful role.
Because of this, Zhou Yang was full of hatred for the Shen family when he left, and did not say hello to Shen Chenlu.
Therefore, the reason why Zhou Yang couldn't wait to marry Li Youwei back then was not only because of the pressure of life, but also partly to heal his emotional wounds.
In other words, when Zhou Yang accepted Li Youwei, it was mainly because he was in a relationship window at the time and was picked up by Li Youwei.
But what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that in the second year after he and Li Youwei got married, Shen Chenlu came to the Babaoliang Brigade as an educated youth.
What's even more unexpected is that Shen Chenlu didn't come to jump in line out of necessity, but came specifically to see Zhou Yang.
She secretly reported her name in her household registration book without telling anyone in advance. When the Shen family found out, it was already too late.
It can be said that the reason why Shen Chenlu wanted to go to this inhospitable place to endure hardships was entirely because of Zhou Yang.
But as soon as she arrived here, she learned that Zhou Yang was married and that the child was about to be born.
This shocked the little girl so hard that she ran directly to Zhou Yang's house and started a big fuss.
Because of this, Zhou Yang's reputation in the village became even worse. Everyone knew that Zhou Yang had a partner in the city, and even wanted to flirt with Li Youwei when he got here.
Only Zhou Yang knew that there was no possibility of anything happening between him and Shen Chenlu. Not to mention that the window between them had not been broken. Even if they had really engaged in a baby marriage, just based on the dirty things that the Shen family had done to the Zhou family, Seriously, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou would not allow Shen Chenlu to come in.
Therefore, before his rebirth, Zhou Yang had always been indifferent to Shen Chenlu, treating him as a stranger.
However, Zhou Yang, who had experienced a complete life in his previous life, knew that Shen Chenlu was different from other members of the Shen family. She was a good girl.
Zhou Yang knew that Shen Chenlu didn't know what Shen Zhenguo had done until now, and she was completely kept in the dark.
And when she knew the whole story, she stopped pestering him.
What's more important is that in the following decades, Shen Chenlu has been secretly atoneing for what the Shen family did back then in her own way.
Zhou Yang, who had experienced life and death, was already relieved. Shen Zhenguo was Shen Zhenguo and Shen Chenlu was Shen Chenlu. There was no need for him to anger Shen Chenlu because of what Shen Zhenguo had done. It was unfair to her.
Therefore, after hearing that Shen Chenlu had fainted, Zhou Yang immediately decided to go to the educated youth spot to see her.
