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 would I be able to eat meat on my first day here?
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 "killed pig dishes", we have become closer to the villagers, and the friendship between the two parties has reached a state of close harmony ahead of schedule. 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.
After this, Huang Xiaohong looked at Xu Yin with admiration, as if she was looking at a wise elder.
"Is...is that so?"
"That's right!"
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?"
Therefore, the captain blew the whistle: "Gather! Let's build a house!"
Everyone looked at her excited back with indescribably complicated eyes: After a busy day, she is still so energetic? Comrade Xu Yin is really so motivated! I feel so embarrassed!
So I took this method to give myself some publicity.
"If you want it, you want it." 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.
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 goes back, it will not matter. It will be an important position. Moreover, that comment will be indelible with her throughout her life and will always affect her future.
Xiao Jing was stunned.
Huang Xiaohong looked up at her with envy - and the bacon she was hanging in her hand. She couldn't help but say: "If you hang it like this, there will be oil dripping down, right?"
Xu Yin thought so too.
Xu Yin clapped her hands: "Done."
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, Model worker, you do your part!”
Write it into a report?
Forget it, she is not a big grievance!
She asked Xiao Jing: "Do you often save food rations for your family?"
Huang Xiaohong: "..."
Xu Yin is not interested in model workers, she is more concerned about her smoked venison.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaohong suddenly realized that Xu Yin's words were a reminder to her, and Xiao Jing's brother was just incidental.
"..."
Xu Yin brainwashed her by the way:
"Jing, I think you are hurting him by doing this. The reason why men can shoulder the responsibility 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 cling to him first. In the most difficult years, he was not hungry, right? If things go on like this, he will develop a character 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?"
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.
Stingy! Stingy! You reminded her in vain!
Xiao Jing didn't have any ambitions. Apart from being envious, she was 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's mouth twitched slightly: "That's not necessary."
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 was always the first to respond, dashing out in one stride, as excited as a bird letting itself fly.
Save food rations for the best family members?
"Of course I hope he will succeed! He is the hope of our old Xiao family and the only root of our old Xiao family!"
I thought I would share some for myself to try.
"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'd rather go hungry by myself, because of my brother."
What's wrong with this girl? Could it be that he has a crush on her?
This little girl's eyes were so hot that I almost couldn't resist.
Xu Yin was even disgusted by her.
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.
"Then I won't be polite, madam! Eat your meat sparingly, you can eat it until the spring plowing is over."
Looking at the area of arable land that the first group of comrades had opened up 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.
"He is only thirteen on New Year's Day, and he is very naughty. He will become more sensible when he grows up."
Xu Yin gave her a small piece as a reward, and Aunt Fang narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.
"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."
After Aunt Fang left, Xu Yin stood at the end of the kang, stood on tiptoes and hung the bacon on the rafters.
"Is your brother good to you?"
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.
Xu Yin: "..."
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".
Listening to the conversation between the two people, Huang Xiaohong's thoughts were a little confused. She couldn't help but ask herself: Is it true? Only by enduring hardship and hard work can one get ahead? If he can't endure hardship, he has no future?
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?
She was greedy for meat, but she couldn't often open a small stove for herself. After all, two of her colleagues and the aunt's two daughters were sleeping next to each other, and the beams were connected. If she ate some hot meat dishes, the aroma would immediately spread to the next door.
Day after day, we are clearing wasteland and building houses, and gradually come to spring plowing.
Xu Yin's pioneer land reclamation group cultivated about a hundred acres of land in these ten days.
Not to mention the reclamation team, the villagers in Hewozitun found this achievement incredible.
"It's such a hard land that it's hard to weed or pick rocks. How did you manage to cultivate over a hundred acres in just ten days?"
