Chapter 395: Falling into the Dung Pit
Zheng Pengcheng returned to the educated youth point with a gloomy face. Nothing had gone well for the past two days and he was getting more unlucky day by day.
When I went to work today, my hoe broke shortly after I arrived at the field in the morning. I finally fixed it, but it broke again not long after I started working. I didn't do anything the whole morning except fixing the hoe.
It was fine in the afternoon, the hoe was not broken, but he didn't know if he had an upset stomach or what, he had diarrhea and went to the toilet so many times that he felt like he smelled.
At the end of the day, I didn't do much work and didn't complete the tasks I was assigned, so I was severely reprimanded by the team leader.
The aunt who was working with him today was very upset with him because he had delayed her work and work points. She spoke sarcastically and made indirect accusations throughout the day, which made him very angry.
If he didn't want to leave some bad records on his file that would affect his future military service and promotion, he would have wanted to manually shut her up.
As he felt really uncomfortable during the past two days, Zheng Pengcheng told the team leader when he got off work that he would not go to work for the next two days.
The crops in the field have been planted almost completely, and the next step is watering and fertilizing.
The brigade cadres never forced these educated youth to do too much work. As long as they didn't cause trouble or get into trouble, everything would be fine.
In addition, although Zheng Pengcheng is not a good person, he is still reliable when it comes to working in the fields.
Of course, except for these two days.
Therefore, the team leader readily agreed to his request for leave.
Seeing Zheng Pengcheng coming back so late, Zhou Mingxuan, who had almost prepared the food, asked curiously, "Damn bird, why did you come back at this time?"
Yesterday I witnessed him falling while walking. The handle of the iron pan fell while he was cooking. After he finally cooked the food and brought it in to prepare for dinner, he staggered for some reason. He managed to keep his balance and not fall, but all the food in his hands flew out.
This afternoon, I didn't see him taking a nap at home as usual, but he went out to work early. However, he came back at this time and looked like someone owed him a few hundred yuan.
Zhou Mingxuan guessed, "You didn't run into bad luck again today, causing you to not finish your work, so you came back at this time."
"Shut your crow mouth," Zheng Pengcheng said angrily.
"Well, it seems I was right.
I think you have done too many bad things, which is why you are so unlucky.
Otherwise, you can secretly find a temple, go in and pray to get rid of the bad luck."
"Then, you reported me and said I was feudal and superstitious."
"Look, you are wronging me, aren't you?
I am different from you Zheng family members who always report and frame others.
I'm giving you this advice with all my heart.
It's not a good idea for you to keep having bad luck like this every day."
Zhao Junhao supported his best friend, "Damn bird, I think you really should listen to Mingxuan and go and pray.
You haven't been like this before. What happened these two days?
Think carefully about whether you encountered anything special two days ago or violated any taboo.
Otherwise, why would there be so many bad things happening to you? "
"You think too much, it's just a coincidence." Zheng Pengcheng still said stubbornly.
Having said that, he couldn't help but recall his experiences of the past few days, wondering what he had touched that he shouldn't have touched and who he had offended.
He had been cooking with trepidation, but luckily, maybe his bad luck was over or something else, everything went smoothly until he finished eating and cleaned up, which made Zheng Pengcheng breathe a sigh of relief.
Something always went wrong during meals these past two days. He hadn't had a good meal for two days, and finally had a full meal tonight.
“The day is finally over, I go to the bathroom and get ready for bed.
Nothing bad will happen when you sleep."
“I’m going to go to town tomorrow and call home to ask about the situation at home.
It was said before that someone would be sent here to take over the Revolutionary Committee, but I don’t know if it has been done yet.
If someone comes, I have to contact him and make a plan as soon as possible to get rid of Zhou Mingxuan.
This place might really be what Zhou Mingxuan said, that it is incompatible with me. Since coming here, nothing has gone well.
It’s better to get rid of Zhou Mingxuan as soon as possible, leave here and join the army.
Don’t stay here for half a year or a year as planned.”
If he stayed any longer, Zheng Pengcheng was afraid that he would either starve to death or die of depression.
While thinking about this, Zheng Pengcheng walked towards the public toilet at the educated youth camp, intending to go back to his room and sleep after relieving himself.
When he walked there, he saw that the toilet door was closed. After waiting for a while, Zhou Wenbing opened the door and walked out.
After walking to the opposite side of the road, Zhou Wenbing had no choice but to greet the person, "Zheng Zhiqing."
Zheng Pengcheng nodded in response, then walked straight past him and went to the toilet.
What happened these days made Zheng Pengcheng stop wanting to deal with other people.
Moreover, he has made up his mind to deal with Zhou Mingxuan as soon as possible and then leave here, so there is no need to maintain good relationships with these people who are destined to never have any intersection with him again in his life.
Zhou Wenbing couldn't say he was disappointed with Zheng Pengcheng's attitude, he just shook his head and laughed.
They are all children of wealthy families from Beijing, why are there such big differences between them?
Although Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were often together, they also talked and laughed with other people in the educated youth center and interacted with them normally.
But Zheng Pengcheng always gives people a feeling of being superior.
The educated youth kept their distance from him, partly because of what Zhou Mingxuan said when he first arrived, but more because of the contempt and disdain he always revealed inadvertently.
You have to know that what is revealed inadvertently is the most real.
Think about those who view themselves in this way. We are not masochists and will not go up to them to cause trouble. We will naturally stay away from them.
What's more, what Zheng Pengcheng said on the day Chen Jiaojiao was injured made him even more dislikeable.
Zheng Pengcheng, who was about to go to the toilet at this time, had no intention of paying attention to what Zhou Wenbing was thinking at the moment.
He took a deep breath before walking into the bathroom, looking up at the roof, and using the corner of his eyes to watch the pedal below to prevent himself from stepping on empty air.
After being here for a few days, he still couldn't adapt to the dry toilets in the countryside. Every time he came here, it felt like a battle.
He held his breath until he couldn't hold it any longer, then he let it out slowly.
Having had a lot of experience, he knew that if he went to the toilet, as long as he could hold on a little longer, he wouldn't have to breathe in the horrible smell until he got out and breathed again.
Even if you have a large bowel movement, as long as you hold your breath long enough, you can inhale less foul odors.
After finally solving the problem and handling it, Zheng Pengcheng quickly put on his pants and planned to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.
However, it was not known whether he was in a hurry to leave and slipped because he did not stand firmly, or whether he was just unlucky, but when he lifted one foot and was about to step off the pedal, his other foot somehow slipped and slid off the pedal, and he fell into the dung pile.
At that time, farmyard manure was used. Villagers would dig out their own manure pits every once in a while and carry the farmyard manure to the team's public septic tank in exchange for some work points.
The educated youths at the educated youth site could not stand the smell, and it was difficult to divide the tiny work points among so many people, so they did not clean the manure pit regularly, resulting in the manure pit being full most of the time.
Fortunately, Zheng Pengcheng was quite tall, but even so, if it fell, it would reach his chest.
Moreover, when such a heavy object fell, the splashing fertilizer inevitably got all over his head and face.
You can imagine how sour it felt.
Zheng Pengcheng felt nauseous and wanted to vomit at that time.
