Chapter 110 A Justified Complaint
Reading Settings
The captain and his men quickly returned, praising and thanking Bai Nuo once again, and promising to give Bai Nuo an easier job the next day.
Given this incident, and the fact that the injury on her hand was clearly caused by the vine she was using to lead the pig, naturally no one objected.
In the minds of country folk, these collective properties are their lifeblood. Bai Nuo saved the team's two old sows, so he naturally deserved preferential treatment. Even those who are prone to jealousy and bitterness would be too embarrassed to say anything against it at this moment.
Besides, even if she doesn't work, it won't affect their work points; it's just a change of job.
As for whether to cut hay or let the cattle graze or the horses roam, let Bai Nuo choose for himself; he just needs to go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow and let them know.
Bai Nuo handed over the pig and returned to the educated youth compound, where it was bustling with activity.
Several male educated youths had just gone out to look for the pig and had just returned. They vividly recounted how Bai Nuo brought the pig back.
"Bai Zhiqing, you're amazing! You managed to pull two such big pigs out of a three-meter-deep pit. How are you so strong?" When Eugene saw Bai Nuo return, his eyes lit up and he looked at her with admiration.
Bai Nuo smiled slightly: "It's alright. I've always been strong since I was a child, and I also used a bit of the lever principle from physics to pull the two pigs up. Didn't we learn about this in high school?"
Bai Nuo has started making up stories again!
From elementary school onwards, her older brother would make her and Fang Meng study together every day after school, regardless of whether they understood or not. Their main goal was to start from elementary school.
Although she was mentally impaired at the time, her instincts were still intact. Even when she was not fully conscious, she would still subconsciously try to remember things. So when her grandmother used her connections to get her a high school diploma, she had no qualms about it.
Anyway, her grandmother thought her child was doing better than the children who were studying in the classroom.
"I didn't expect Bai Zhiqing to have such a solid foundation in her studies. She must have been a top student in school." Jiang Zihang, who usually loves studying and reading, looked at Bai Nuo with admiration.
These days, even high school students tend to just get by in school; very few people study seriously. It's considered good if a class has even half of those students.
Let alone students, even teachers are rarely serious about teaching anymore. They basically just get by day by day, prioritizing their own safety.
Bai Nuo smiled slightly and didn't explain too much. When it comes to things you haven't truly experienced, it's best to say less and avoid making mistakes.
"Nono, I heard you hurt your hand, how is it?"
"It's nothing, I'll be fine after some medicine." Bai Nuo shook her head at the worried Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua.
"You really scared us to death. You're really reckless. How could a little girl like you dare to bring back two pigs? What if those two pigs went crazy on the way? Luckily, the injuries weren't too serious, but it will still hurt for several days before the swelling goes down."
Sun Yuxi carefully held Bai Nuo's injured hand, and looking at it, it seemed that it was already starting to swell.
Upon hearing this, the other male educated youths who had gone to look for the pigs suddenly remembered the two old sows that had gone mad just over ten minutes earlier.
"..."
It seems pretty scary, but the person who went crazy wasn't them.
"Bai Zhiqing, take a good wash. It's not convenient for you to fetch water with your hand. We'll fill the water tank for you. Don't lift heavy things with that hand for a while."
Xie Weidong noticed that Bai Nuo's face was still covered in dirt and her work clothes weren't very clean. This girl was fair-skinned and clean, so she must be very clean on a regular basis.
As a male educated youth, Xie Weidong felt it was his duty to help out with this small matter and take care of the injured female educated youth.
"Yes, yes, Bai Zhiqing, hurry home and we'll fill your water tank for you."
Eugene nodded in agreement. He had just tasted the dumplings made by Bai Zhiqing at noon, and the taste was truly unforgettable. Although he had traded half a chicken for them, he was willing to do anything for them, even if it meant helping to fetch water for a month, so that he could have the opportunity to exchange for delicious food again in the future.
Foodies are simply powerless against delicious food.
"No need to trouble you all, I'll get her water."
Fang Meng's magnetic and charming voice suddenly rang out. The people standing in the courtyard turned their heads and saw Fang, a tall and dignified educated youth, carrying a wild rabbit in each hand, walking towards them from the gate of the educated youth compound.
"Are you injured?"
Fang Meng looked down at the little girl's hand, which was swollen like a steamed bun. His brows furrowed more and more, and his eyes were full of irritation and anger.
Immediately, the few male educated youths who were still dissatisfied fell silent, and Eugene shrank back even further, not daring to express any dissatisfaction.
Xie Weidong, who first brought up the matter, was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently: "Since Fang Zhiqing has spoken, then we won't disturb you any longer. Let's go cook first."
"Thank you!" Fang Meng nodded slightly to Xie Weidong, then handed the rabbit in his hand to Eugene, "Help me process it, I'll give you a bowl later."
Eugene's eyes lit up immediately. He grabbed the rabbit and hugged it tightly to his chest, looking like he would bite anyone who tried to take his life away.
You know, in the entire educated youth compound, apart from the newly arrived Bai educated youth, Meng Ge was the best cook. Unfortunately... Meng Ge never ate with others, and they would only use food as payment when they needed help with something.
