The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 466: Hardships that Passionate College Students Can't Bear

It must be said that Liang Xinyue's yelling did work. These people immediately became obedient.

Lu Tianxing and Hu Yanhong carried a small table and started registering at the edge of the field.

They have a punch-in roster in their hands, which records who works and how many hours every day. This will be used to divide the wages in the future.

This time they just wrote down every name on the roster.

After they have finished memorizing, let them go home immediately and get a hoe and wait. We will be divided into groups later and they must obey instructions from now on.

Liang Xinyue knew that the success of Xinshui Village was inseparable from the strong leadership of Captain Liu, but this Captain Liu was obviously not that successful.

Liang Xinyue called him over and reminded him again and again that if this problem could not be corrected, it would be difficult to carry out future work. Besides, those twenty or so college students were not all suitable for doing rural work.

Liang Xinyue and her colleagues had no choice but to take people to measure and call out names of people to dig. Lu Tianxing was there to direct them on how to dig and how much to dig.

This time the measurement is easier. Just distinguish each ridge.

Now the digging was much more obedient. The trenches that needed to be dug were dug deep, and the trenches that needed to be dug thin were dug thin.

In fact, it is not tiring at all to work according to instructions.

This village has another advantage. At the foot of the mountain, there is a small pond of about ten square meters, and the water in it is very turbid.

There is actually not much water in here, it is all the accumulated rainwater. The pit is quite deep, probably more than two meters.

Liang Xinyue decided directly to let some women in their village go to cut the grass on the mountain, and then go home and chop it into small pieces and pour it into the pit.

Both adults and children can do this, but it must be done by a person, not a child, for fear that the child will fall.

Then all the manure from each household is collected and poured in. It will be used to make fertilizer and become the largest toilet for one person.

Just like Xinshui Village, they still use some trees to block the way forward, and then weave some nets and put them on top. This way, it is not easy for people and animals to fall in. As long as there is a place to move around, they can open it and scoop up the manure.

Liang Xinyue was very angry, as she felt that all her work for the past two days was in vain.

However, when the twenty or so college students fell into Gu Sanding's hands, he did not indulge them. He directly grouped them into pairs of one boy and one girl. Those who were weak could cooperate with each other, but if one person could not do it alone, he would pair them up in pairs.

If one set doesn’t work, try two sets. If you can’t lift it, try another set.

Then, we divided three groups into one class and asked them to do the work.

At the beginning, these college students were doing it in a joking manner. They were fine with asking someone to fetch some sand or lift a bag of cement.

But later, when they encountered people carrying stones, they started shouting one by one.

"Oh, this is so heavy, so heavy, hurry up, I can't lift it."

"Ouch, my fingernails are all broken."

"Slow down, you bumped into me and I can't lift myself up. I'm going to fall and hit my foot."

"..."

All kinds of calls, totally noisy.

It sounds disturbing.

Gu Sanding took out a whistle and blew it:

"Everyone listen to me, especially college students. You work with your hands, feet, and waist, not your mouth. From now on, if I hear anyone complaining, don't blame me for being rude."

Immediately, Liu Yang from the class further away whispered:

"Even though I didn't use my mouth, I really didn't have the strength to roar."

He thought that Gu Sanding would not be able to hear it because they were so far away.

Unexpectedly, Gu Sanding immediately turned around and looked at him and said:

"Why, do you need to roar to have the strength? Woman? This is not childbirth. Women scream when they feel pain during childbirth. Are you lifting a stone because you want to roar to get the shit out?"

"puff……"

When the other college students heard Gu Sanding's criticism, they couldn't help laughing.

Gu Sanding blew it again and said:

"Everyone, work hard and act like a young man."

So, he kept walking around and watching these people do their work:

"Go away. I told them to carry the stone. There are six of them. Can't they carry it?"

I saw that a class of college students couldn’t lift a slab of stone. I estimated that the slab of stone weighed only about 200 kilograms.

There are six students in this group. They are responsible for carrying stone slabs. The stone slabs are used for paving the bottom, while the stone strips are used for laying the edges.

The slabs of stone are even heavier, weighing almost three hundred pounds each.

The soldiers who carried the stones worked in pairs, so they could carry them over. But the college students couldn't do that.

The six of them couldn't lift these two people.

When these two people passed by them, one of them reached out to help a girl whose neck was shrunk due to the pressure to lift the carrying pole.

As a result, he was seen by Gu Sanding and criticized.

Coincidentally, this group is the one Liu Yang is in:

"Report, Comrade Regimental Commander, you cannot criticize this soldier. He was doing a good deed by helping to lift the object with his hands."

Comrade Liu Yang is also a person who loves to stand up for the weak.

Gu Sanding looked at him and said:

"Everyone's duties are assigned. When your own work is not completed, you still want to lend a hand to others. Moreover, this is not the right way to help. Look here, he is stepping here to help you lift it. If he moves away, not only will he move towards his comrades who are cooperating with him, but he will also move towards you."

"When lifting heavy objects, you must not lose the balance of force. Don't you college students know this? If you lose balance, the heavy object may fall down, causing others to use uneven force. Do you know what the result will be?"

"He's carrying it here. If he slips, he might fall down and be crushed by the stone he's carrying. And if he helps you lift it, the force of the pole will increase suddenly. Will the student on the other side of the pole dodge?"

"If the force is unbalanced, the stone slab will fall down, and the six people who are carrying the stone slab may get injured. Do you understand?"

Liu Yang was convinced by the criticism this time. He really hadn't thought it through. If he had really hit a classmate, it would not be good no matter who was hurt.

The soldier even admitted his mistake and everyone continued working.

They had only lifted two stone slabs when some of these people began to stagger.

Because they had to carry the slabs of stone over from the other side of the road.

Another group was mixing cement and sand. One student did not operate properly and the cement flew everywhere when he raised his shovel. Even though he turned around immediately, he was still covered in cement dust.

Two students even had cement dust in their eyes and they started to scream.

They were girls, and later they actually started crying.

Gu Sanding really criticized this student:

"You may not have killed a pig, but you must have eaten pork. If you can't even follow me, you need to have some brains. You see, when people pour cement, they try to do it as low as possible. When you do this, not only will you lose a lot of cement, but you will also hurt people."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just swung the shovel too hard."

The classmate was also dumbfounded. Cement is so heavy, but he didn't expect it to fly up with a shovel.

After watching for a while, Gu Sanding understood why Liang Xinyue insisted that he suppress the arrogance of these students first.

It’s not that they are not hardworking, nor that they are ignorant, but they do lack a lot of practical life and work experience.

Even if we ask them to follow along, it would be difficult for them to learn well.

Liang Xinyue asked Gu Sanding to make these people move away from hip-hop and become more stable.

There are two types of people that these college students admire: one is the military, and the other is scientists. They know that they need to arm themselves with knowledge, but they envy those who have profound knowledge even more.

What Gu Sanding can give them is to let them better understand how to extract some experience in actual operations and how to do things steadily and start from small things.

They ate at the army's small kitchen, but they had to use their own food coupons to exchange for food.

At noon, we still sat together in groups waiting for lunch.

Among the people brought by Gu Sanding, there was also a chef. They brought the prepared meals to the table in basins, and then everyone took their own bowls and started eating.

After eating, each group cleaned up their own things, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

This really convinced the college students that soldiers were more pleasing to the eye. They were serious and responsible in their work.

After just a whole morning's work, several girls shed tears quietly. They couldn't lift it, but didn't want to be looked down upon, so they forced themselves to carry it.

Gu Sanding came over and called for help again:

"Everyone listen carefully, take a fifteen-minute break after dinner, and then continue working."

A boy whispered in the crowd:

"This guy is not a man. He should have rested for only fifteen minutes. Ahhhh, my hands hurt so much. I have scratched my hands several times from lifting the stone slab."

"Me too. I pressed it a bit and my foot still hurts a bit now."

Gu Sanding heard everyone's complaints, but he just didn't want to pay attention to them.

When the time is up and the whistle blows, they have to return to their positions.

Gu Sanding was merciless. He walked around coldly all the time. Later, the college students were surprised to find that this captain Gu was so powerful that he remembered all their names in just a short time.

When you ask someone to do something or criticize someone, you just mention the name.

The college students were all groaning with painstaking work. Liang Xinyue was much better now, with Lu Tianxing leading them to dig carefully and checking at any time.

But in fact, this job is too easy for those who are used to doing farm work.

After everyone was responsible for a ridge, Lu Tianxing took a few other people to start measuring from the other side.

They have to work faster today, otherwise they might miss the best planting season.

After making sure that there was no problem, Liang Xinyue no longer participated in drawing the map, but asked Lu Tianxing and Hu Yanhong to lead some teams to conduct measurements.

Liang Xinyue knew that there was no big problem with their measurement, but the problem was that they had to make the people here obey. Otherwise, if it was difficult to manage, the assistance work here would be a bit meaningless.

Moreover, if she doesn't mobilize them, where will Liang Xinyue find so many people to cultivate these thousands of acres of land?

After Liang Xinyue gave some instructions, she went to find Gu Sanding again. Gu Sanding frowned slightly and said:

"Sister-in-law, you should actually take a break. If you come out like this, you'll have to work all day. What will happen to the three little ones at home?"

"It's okay. Aunt Li is here to help me look after the children. The third child plays in the yard every day."

"Sister-in-law, I mean it's not good for your recovery. You can still sit down, so don't stand."

Liang Xinyue smiled gently and said:

"Don't worry, there's someone behind me reminding you at any time. Oh, there's something wrong with the ground down there. They messed up all the measurements we made yesterday."

"So, these twenty or so college students may have to stay with you for another day. Tomorrow, they will come to help you with the big battle."

Gu Sanding burst out laughing and said:

"That's great, it will increase my labor force."

However, after Liang Xinyue greeted him, he drove back at Xiaoxue's urging. It was agreed that Xiao Wei would stay here tonight to be on duty.

As soon as Liang Xinyue left, Gu Sanding started to scold these students again:

"You're complaining about the pain. The one who just came here, your teacher Liang, do you think she's weak? She has three two- and three-year-old children to take care of at home. And you saw her running around with you. Do you know that she has four or five broken bones? Do you see the little nurse behind her? She was sent by the hospital to follow her."

"Because she was afraid of delaying the work, she had to participate. You are complaining about the hardship, but ask her, her broken bones haven't healed yet."

The college students listened in surprise. They thought Liang Xinyue was a little strange. Other teachers brought an assistant, but this teacher brought a nurse, and she couldn't raise her hand.

After hearing what Gu Sanding said, no one among the college students shouted anymore. However, after finishing their work for the day and returning to the yard to rest, they found that they could not lift their arms or move their legs.

It's like a person can't get up after sitting down or lying down.

There were hissing sounds of pain coming from every yard. Xiao Wei came over and reminded:

"Remember, boil some hot water and soak your feet to relieve your fatigue. It's best not to sit or lie still, but walk around gently to relax your body. Otherwise, you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Some were obedient and followed Xiao Wei's instructions. Some did not want to move, not even to eat dinner. They just lay there, and when the whistle blew at dawn, there were screams of pain again.

I feel like all the bones in my body are falling apart.

Ahhhhh!

When Xiao Wei blew the whistle and called people in each yard, no one was safe. Even the most enthusiastic Liu Yang came out with a grin on his face.
