Chapter 117: The tiger is away, the monkey is king
Mu Rujun helped Bai Nuo clean the saddle and placed it on the drying rack. With the sun coming out and the wind blowing, it would probably be ready to use in less than half an hour.
"Xiaobai, don't just stand there waiting. Let's chat for a while. The work this morning is not heavy. We have to wait until the fodder is delivered from the warehouse at noon before we can start working in the afternoon."
Bai Nuo turned his head, smiled and nodded, readily agreeing to the proposal.
After she came to the countryside, she has been busy all the time, without stopping for a single day, and has never had the chance to communicate properly with the villagers.
She had heard before that there were melons everywhere in the countryside and there were more than enough to eat. It was so fun!
In her previous life, when she was bored, she liked to run around with the system. At that time, all the teachers were gone, and she began to get tired of that fucked up world. However, she had promised her teachers to live well, so they never did it to herself.
When she was bored, she would just take the system and look for fun everywhere. She even went to Base No. 1 to eavesdrop on the conversations of the top brass.
You know what, those corners of the high-rise buildings are quite interesting.
In the past, Fang Meng had taken her to rob other people's houses in the compound, and even his stepmother and biological father's houses were not spared. However, the two were too young at that time, and they were discovered several times. Those people even ran to the Fang family to complain, but the old man of the Fang family did not dare to intervene. It was even more useless to complain to the old couple of the Zhou and Bai families because they were simply doting on them.
In the end, these families had no choice but to run to the school gate of Brother Fang and her eldest brother to block them and complain.
The results are predictable...
Bai Nuo subconsciously rubbed his little butt!
Now her elder brother is too far away. Although Brother Fang is closer, he is very busy and it is not easy for him to take leave in the army.
Hehe, no one cares about her!
Bai Nuo finally realized this and squatted in front of the two elder sisters, listening attentively to the two people chatting about village gossip.
The small system in the system space shook its head helplessly. It felt that its host was particularly suitable for a word now!
When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king!
"So, the team leader punished Chen Xiuhua and Liu Zhenzhu to dig out manure?" Bai Nuo looked surprised.
"Well, originally no one in the village did that job. Ever since a few people came to our brigade's cowshed, we gave them the job of shoveling manure, but they also get work points.
When the team leader took those people in, he specifically checked their files and instructed everyone on the team not to cause trouble, let alone beat or scold them. While they didn't receive many special treatments, they weren't harsh either. They were given manual labor that was both dirty and tiring, but it was enough to keep them alive.
But Chen Xiuhua and Liu Zhenzhu were punished to scoop out manure for three months, earning no work points. However, our brigade won't push people into desperate situations. We also told them that after cleaning the public toilets in the village every day, they can go pick up feces, which counts as work points. If they're diligent, they can probably pick up three or four work points a day. It all depends on whether they're willing to do it."
Bai Nuo really admired the team leader at this moment. This guy was really mean. He was determined to let those two people live in harmony with the shit and urine in the village in the future.
Afterwards, Bai Nuo ate a lot of melons from the Qishui Brigade, or from the neighboring brigades, with a very satisfied look on his face. From time to time, he would cheer for the two elder sisters who were telling stories with relish.
"Oh, it's so exciting, you just go in?"
"Oh my God, what then?"
"Oh my, this is too tragic."
"Hey, that little naked guy is really too much."
Mu Rujun looked with amusement at the young educated youth who couldn't control his accent and kept running around because of the gossip.
This girl, why is she so funny!
It was not until Tie Jinhua came over and started assigning today's work tasks that Bai Nuo reluctantly carried his saddle to the stable to find his future partner.
"It's Xiaobai, the educated youth."
The person next to him heard the noise and came out of the cowshed, looking at Bai Nuo with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao, please come here and feed the cows." Bai Nuo looked at Uncle Zhao who came out of the cowshed next to him with a smile.
Isn’t this the Uncle Zhao who usually drives to the county town?
Because the Qishui Brigade has a breeding team, the old cowshed is only occupied by a few people who were relocated to the village. The cows in the cowshed were moved in after the breeding team built it, and they are usually fed and cared for by special people.
As for the people in the cowshed, they usually come here to do some dirty and tiring work. In fact, compared with those who were sent to other brigades, these jobs are much easier.
After all, they are already old, and they don’t eat well and live even worse on weekdays. The team leader uses these dirty and tiring jobs to cover up for them so that they can live safely. Even if someone comes to check, they can’t find any problems. No one in the village is willing to do these jobs, so naturally no one will say anything.
Bai Nuo felt that the captain was a really nice guy and she would definitely be less angry with him in the future.
Bai Nuo greeted Uncle Zhao and chatted with him for a while before walking into the stable.
There were five horses in the stable, two male and two female adult horses, and a mare. The little guy had not grown up yet and was about the same height as Bai Nuo, which made Bai Nuo feel more pity for it.
Bai Nuo gently rubbed the foal's mane. The white mane looked soft and smooth, and it was obvious that the foal was well raised.
Bai Nuo calmed down the lively and active foal that wanted to pull her to play, then she carried the saddle and walked to the other four adult horses.
Although the horses of the Qishui Brigade were not the precious breeds of later generations, they were raised to be tall and strong, with smooth and shiny coats.
Bai Nuo felt that these horses were cleaner than some people in the village, and there was no peculiar smell in the stable. Everything was clean, and it must have been cleaned early in the morning.
"Well, who should I choose?" Bai Nuo looked up and down at the four horses while holding the saddle. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the dark horse on the far left, and his brows frowned slightly.
"Gunshot wound?" Bai Nuo quickly walked to the black horse, raised his hand and gently stroked the wound on the horse's butt.
It can be seen that this injury is some years old and definitely not a recent injury.
"咴咴~"
The big black horse turned his head to look at Bai Nuo, not showing any sign of getting angry. He even looked at the little hand on his butt with a bit of loving eyes.
love? ? ?
Bai Nuo twitched his lips speechlessly. What's going on with this old Ma?
"Oh, Heifeng seems to like you very much." Old Zhao was a little worried after feeding the cows, so he came over to see if the educated youth Xiaobai was bullied by the horse. When he came over, he saw this scene and smiled.
It was obvious that Heifeng was favoring the girl, and the other horses didn't dare to bully her.
Bai Nuo withdrew his hand and looked at Uncle Zhao outside the door in confusion.
"Uncle Zhao, this horse..."
