Chapter 33 You want to use me as a pawn? No way!

Upon hearing the captain's words, the others' expressions changed once again.

In the original story, the male and female protagonists, along with Gu Yancheng and Shen Yuzhu, were sent to the countryside because their families were worried about them.

Shen Yuzhu was even more formidable, directly chasing after Gu Yancheng.

I wonder what's going on with this unhappy couple now.

However, nowadays no one has time to pay attention to them; the most important thing is what the village party secretary and the brigade leader say.

They're starting work tomorrow, and they're still finding it a little hard to accept.

They've traveled such a long way, don't they even have time to rest?

At least let them tidy up their rooms and get used to their surroundings.

The captain's words at this moment were also very weighty.

Gu Yancheng stepped forward immediately.

The educated youth who came to the countryside this time consisted of four men and six women.

The others were all listless and incapable of handling the task.

If anything happens, Gu Yancheng has to step up. He then directly said to the village secretary and the brigade leader:

"Gentlemen, it's not that we don't want to work, but we have indeed traveled a long way to get here."

"Moreover, most people here have little experience in heavy physical labor."

"We're being asked to do farm work right off the bat. I don't think most of us could handle it."

"It will take some time to adjust, and we also need time to settle in."

“My name is Gu Yancheng. I can guarantee you that all of you educated youth here will go to work the day after tomorrow, not one of you will be missing.”

"But could you give us some time to rest tomorrow and take a break?"

"Most of the people in our team are girls."

“They are a bit delicate, and the journey is long, so they are already struggling to keep up.”

Upon hearing Gu Yancheng's words, Liu Daqing on the other side immediately became indignant:

“I don’t agree with what this educated youth comrade said.”

“You guys are indeed quite delicate, but Luo Zhiqing is different from you. Look at her, isn’t she full of energy?”

"And I believe she can start work tomorrow."

"I'm not like you guys, all spoiled and delicate."

"Young Luo, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing Liu Daqing's words, Luo Zixi was momentarily stunned.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

Send her to work tomorrow? Are you kidding me?

Although her physical fitness and abilities are fully capable of adapting.

But she never intended to be an activist; she just wanted to slack off and get through these two years.

When the college entrance examination is reinstated, she can take the exam again and go back to the city, to Beijing or to the south.

Now, if you ask her to do some work, all she can say is "hehe".

There's no way I'll actually do any work. Even if I did go, I'd just be wasting my time and earn enough to cover the basic work points.

She has plenty of food and clothing, so she doesn't need to go to work.

If it weren't for the requirement to work long hours, she would have quit on the spot.

However, she knew that if she stopped going to work, she would be labeled a bad element.

It will also have an impact when you take the college entrance exam. Your records will also be kept if you return to your hometown.

So she still has to go to work; it's not like she can't adapt.

But I wouldn't allow her to do it with a lot of effort.

Moreover, Liu Daqing is now directly asking her to stand up and compete with all the other educated youth.

Isn't this putting her in opposition to all the educated youth, putting her on the hot seat?

Although she knew that she would most likely not have any good relations with these educated youth in the future, looking at their spoiled appearance, she really couldn't stand any of them.

But if they immediately use her as a pawn and put her in an awkward position, she won't be so stupid as to fall for it right away.

At this moment, Luo Zixi said with a smile:

"Oh dear, Brother Liu, I feel bad if you put it that way."

"Although I may look energetic on the surface, I am actually quite delicate and frail. I couldn't take it anymore after all this journey."

“Secretary, brigade leader, we educated youth will definitely cooperate with the brigade’s decisions and requirements. We came here to help with rural development.”

"However, please at least give us enough respect."

"I've never heard of this before. You just arrived today and you're supposed to start work tomorrow."

"Even capitalists cannot directly exploit the labor of workers and farmers."

"Capitalists, when they hire workers, will at least give them some time to settle down..."

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, both the Party Secretary and the Brigade Leader's faces twitched.

They used this topic to pressure her earlier, but now Luo Zixi is turning the tables on them.

If someone were to say that they are even more heartless than capitalists, and that got back to the higher-ups, they would be in serious trouble.

These educated youths may not be good at any farm work, but they are all quite adept at writing, scribbling, and being cunning.

At this moment, the Party branch secretary and the brigade leader exchanged glances, increasingly disdainful of these educated youth.

These educated youths were good for nothing but causing trouble.

“Alright, then you can have a day off. The day after tomorrow, you’ll go to work with the older educated youth.”

"No lateness or early departures are permitted; otherwise, work points will be deducted, and a black mark will be left on your feedback."

Hearing what these two said, all ten educated youths felt a twitch at the corner of their mouths.

The brigade leader was still not satisfied, but the slightly more amiable village secretary pushed it back.
