Chapter Seventy-Seven: Digging a Trench
When the third class was going on the next morning, the counselor sent someone from the student council to know about their class, saying that they didn't need to go to the third class in the afternoon.
The whole class cheered, but before the cheers stopped, the student council said that in the third period, all of their class went to dig a stinking ditch. The cheers suddenly turned into wails.
"Why is it our class, there are so many classes in the school, why did you choose us." Someone asked dissatisfied.
"yes, that's unfair." Someone chimed in.
"yes, it's too much, there's always a reason." It was mentioned.
The humanitarian of the student council: "Each class has a task, and your class is assigned to dig ditches, if you are not satisfied, you can change with the next class or other classes." We don't care, as long as you get the job done. ”
After hearing this, some people immediately ran to the next class to ask, but they came back in a gloomy manner, expressing their willingness to accept the school's arrangement.
After the student council is announced, they will go to the next class.
Everyone immediately surrounded them, "How is it, what is the task of the next class?" ”
"Don't mention it, it's worse than us, clean the toilet." The man replied.
"Ahh This time, everyone has taken a break from the idea of changing, because people won't want to change with you because of the tasks of other shifts, right?
After class and dinner in the morning, Mu Mengling and the others went back to the dormitory, and even Zhou Qiaoling, who had never appeared much, returned to the dormitory for the first time.
Through Zhao Yan's account, Mu Mengling learned that during this time, Zhou Qiaoling was using her lunch break to go to a fast food restaurant to work for two hours, and then rushed back to attend the afternoon class.
The great changes in the family made Zhou Qiaoling grow up quickly. Mu Mengling felt that this was not necessarily a good thing for Zhou Qiaoling, constantly absorbing and growing in adversity was better than being a frog at the bottom of the well, I don't know how wide the sky outside the well is, and how wide the ground is.
As soon as Lin Xiao returned to the dormitory, he changed into pajamas and climbed into bed for a nap.
Mu Mengling rummaged through the wardrobe to find clothes suitable for labor, while Zhao Yan and Zhou Qiaoling nestled under the bed and talked quietly.
The afternoon came quickly, and after class, Mu Mengling and his class gathered at the school cafeteria, and the counselor led them to the outer wall.
I didn't expect there to be greenery in this place. Mu Mengling looked at the overgrown outer wall and sighed secretly: The strength of life is unimaginable.
"Alright, your job is to dig this ditch for me. By the way, hoe the weeds, the tools are here, and when you complete the task, remember to return the tools. After the counselor finished explaining, he rushed to the next class.
Mu Mengling saw that there were about ten hoes, a stack of buckets, brooms, and a few buckets on the ground.
The children in the city had never seen a hoe, so some people in the class studied it.
Someone also picked up a hoe and played with the Monkey King stick to beat the goblin, of course, the so-called goblin is the female classmate in the class. Someone shouted strangely, this is Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, which is clearly Zhu Bajie's pig basket. The crowd burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was unusually lively.
The head of the team, Jiang Tang, said: "Hurry up and work, otherwise don't be hungry when it's time to eat, finish work early." ”
"Got it, got it." Everyone echoed and started to move.
A few boys are in charge of hoeing the ditch, others are in charge of hoeing, and some girls are waiting for the boys to get the dirt and weeds into the bucket and take them to the garbage dump to be emptied; Others carry buckets to fetch water.
Men and women match, work without getting tired.
Mu Mengling was called to carry water, and she and Lin Xiao carried a bucket to the sink in the cafeteria.
Mu Mengling turned on the faucet and filled a bucket of water, and walked back with Lin Xiao.
As he walked, he stretched out a hand halfway and snatched the bucket. Mu Mengling looked up in astonishment, facing Ruocheng's stinky face last week.
Mu Mengling: "Why did you come here, don't you have a task in your class?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng snorted: "Mission? Cleaning the toilet? Hum ...... "A long string of hums came out of his nostrils.
Mu Mengling was happy, it turned out to be cleaning the toilet, no wonder his face was the same as the stone in the pit, smelly and hard.
"And you're done?" Mu Mengling asked deliberately.
Zhou Ruocheng looked at her with disdain, "No, you want to do it for me?" ”
"Huh?" Mu Mengling threw a roll of his eyes at him, "Which eye did you see that I wanted to replace you?" ”
Zhou Ruocheng pursed his thick lips lightly: "I don't want to, then you ask me what to do." ”
Mu Mengling: "It's not okay to ask." ”
Zhou Ruocheng carried the bucket and moved forward steadily, noncommittal.
"Hey, you ran out like this, didn't your squad leader say anything?" Mu Mengling expressed curiosity.
Zhou Ruocheng's eyes flashed: "I am the squad leader." ”
Mu Mengling's feet almost slipped, Zhou Ruocheng refreshed her image of him again, Zhou Ruocheng who said that to her at the zoo last time was definitely her hallucination.
Lin Xiao was busy supporting Mu Mengling on the side, and the two followed Zhou Ruocheng to the outer wall.
"It's almost there, give it to me. You should go back to your class and do your duty as class leader. Mu Mengling kindly reminded Zhou Ruocheng.
Zhou Ruocheng didn't take it seriously at all, he handed the bucket back to Mu Mengling, and said another sentence by the way: "Actually, just now, I gave up the position of squad leader to another person." ”
The corners of Mu Mengling's mouth couldn't help twitching twice, this little kid, he played with the family as the squad leader, you should be today, he will be tomorrow, and let him go. She didn't want to discuss this boring thing with him at all.
Mu Mengling waved her hand disgustedly and asked Zhou Ruocheng to get out of her sight quickly, and if she continued to talk to him, she would become a weirdo.
Zhou Ruocheng put his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Cut, cross the river and dismantle the bridge." Okay, I'll go look elsewhere. He waved his hand meaningfully, and then swaggered towards the school building.
"This person, it's really ......" Mu Mengling pointed to the direction where Zhou Ruocheng left with a smile, and he didn't know what to say.
Lin Xiao patted Mu Mengling's shoulder comfortingly.
When the two returned to the outer wall, everyone was already in full swing. There are many people with great strength, and in a short time, most of the grass is hoeed, and the ditch is dug to the bottom.
"Let me try too." Mu Mengling saw Jiang Tang swinging a hoe like a god, and she was also eager to try.
"Here, you can hoe and hoe the grass, and the ditches will be dug clean." Jiang Tang handed over the hoe.
"Okay." Mu Mengling took the hoe and weighed it, but fortunately, it was not very heavy. She'd seen it at her uncle's house, but she hadn't used it. It seems to be quite easy for everyone to use.
Mu Mengling followed the example of everyone, holding one hand in front and the other in the back, and then lifted it up and slashed forward, once, twice. It was soon up to work, and the more Mu Mengling swung it, the more energetic he became, and the more he swung it, the happier he became.
She smiled and said to Lin Xiao, who was waiting for the weeds, "It's fun, do you want to try it." Lin Xiao shook his head.
"Forget it, I'll play by myself." Mu Mengling saw that Lin Xiao was not interested or reluctant, anyway, she herself was quite motivated now.
Mu Mengling continued to swing the hoe excitedly, but unfortunately he was very happy and sad in the back, and accidentally smashed the hoe on his feet. Fortunately, she was wearing a pair of thick shoes, and she didn't hoe her feet, but one shoe made a mark on the hoe, and the instep pain was also scared enough.
"It's okay." Lin Xiao exclaimed.
"It's okay, it's okay." Mu Mengling said with pain endured. I took off my shoes to check, and the instep was a little red. "It's not a big problem."
"Don't hoe, it's almost done anyway." Lin Xiao persuaded.
"Well, no more hoes." She couldn't hoe either. After returning the hoe to Jiang Tang, the two of them changed to carrying garbage.
When all the grass has been hoeed, the ditches have been cleaned, and the tools have been cleaned, the people are scattered. A few people were left to return the tools.
Lin Xiao squeaked and said that he wanted to stay and help Jiangtang.
Mu Mengling naturally nodded in agreement and went to the cafeteria alone.
