My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 8: The first experience mission of carrying manure is completed and rewards are issued
Just when Han Fuguo was thinking about not taking another look, he heard Li Feng talking to Han Anmin about picking up the manure water.

"Captain, do you want to water the sloping land with manure today?"

Li Feng had made a plan. He must practice his uphill and downhill skills while there were fewer things to pick, complete the task in one go, and get the reward to buy meat, fried fish, and drink some wine.

"What's the matter? Don't worry, I won't let you go uphill."

Han Anmin patted Li Feng on the shoulder. "You're injured. I'll take care of the lower part of the slope while I take An Yu and the others up the slope."

"That won't do, Captain. How can I be missing on the slope? I'm carrying less weight now, so it's easier for me to climb the slope than you." As soon as Li Feng said this, not only Han Anmin was stunned, but Han Fuguo and others were also surprised.

"Your shoulder is pretty swollen. Don't make it worse by going up and down the hill."

"Yeah, it's not easy walking up and down the slopes. Don't fall. Besides, your shoulders look scary."

"Good boy, you have a high level of awareness." The scar-headed uncle looked at Li Feng and felt that this boy was good. Han Fuguo took a puff of his pipe and realized that he must have been wrong. This was good.

The looks of some of the women in the team also changed. They were just teasing Li Feng before, but now they really wanted to find someone to start a family for Li Feng. She was fair-skinned, honest and capable, and maybe even from the city who could write.

This made Wu Gou very jealous, but he couldn't say anything else at the moment, except to utter a few sour words. "I think he's just taking advantage of the situation. Can An Min let him get away with it?"

"What's the matter? I'm not saying my shoulders are swollen. Imagine how you felt the first time you carried manure. You couldn't handle it after just two trips and you were crying. You're useless."

"You're saying that others are taking advantage of you. Bah, why don't you rush up the hill?"

"Everyone knows that they are really eager to do the work, unlike you who are lazy and slacking off."

She shouted that her sister-in-law would not tolerate Wu Gou and her words left Wu Gou speechless.

"The pretty boy is hateful."

Wu Gou secretly gritted his teeth. These women know nothing. They look pale and have no energy at night. What's the point of just having a good face? A bunch of ignorant old women. Sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful I am.

Li Feng is still pestering Han Anmin. At first, Han Anmin thought Li Feng was just talking, but now it seems that this guy is serious.

"You're just learning how to carry manure. It's not easy to go up and down the slope. Don't fall down."

"Captain, I still have you if I don't understand. You teach me well. I learned it as soon as you taught me yesterday. In my opinion, you should be selected as a model dung carrier and give a lecture to the whole commune. It's a waste of your talent if you just work." In order to get ahead, Li Feng flattered the boss without any hesitation.

"It's not as good as you say."

"Okay, I'll explain it to you in detail later."

Not to mention that these words sounded really nice. Han Anmin had never heard such nice words before. Wu Gou and his group of half-grown men would not say such nice words.

"Then I have to learn from you."

"This kid is able to endure hardships and loves to study. Not bad."

Uncle Suanpan and Han Fuguo said, "I think it's not bad. If we settle down with Daya and Erya, the two kids will have someone to rely on."

"Let's do it."

Han Fuguo took two puffs of his pipe, tapped it, and extinguished the flame. "Okay, once the work is assigned, get to work. Don't waste time."

"Let's go to work."

"okay."

Li Feng was so happy that he couldn't help asking the director of women's affairs, Sannai, to take good care of the two girls, Daya and Erya. This made Li Feng more favorable towards the women's comrades.

Li Feng didn't know all this. He just felt that it was not easy for the two little guys. After all, they called him dad, so he couldn't feel too guilty about it.

After saying that, Li Feng picked up the dung bucket and followed Han Anmin and his group to the dung pit. The smell of the dung pit was still a bit unbearable, but it was much better than yesterday. "Follow me later, I will explain to you how to go up and down the slope."

"to make."

Because of his injury, Li Feng picked up 60% of the manure. In fact, it could be less, but Li Feng summed up his experience. If there is too little, the manure bucket will shake violently and will be more difficult to control. 60% is relatively better.

"Hey, sure."

After two trips, Han Anmin found that Li Feng's uphill speed was almost catching up with his own. This kid learns really fast.

"Captain, you taught me well."

Li Feng said with a smile. "He's truly a renowned teacher. If someone else were to teach me, I'm afraid it wouldn't take three to five days to achieve the same results."

"Hahaha, where is that?"

"You're a good student."

After saying that, Han Anmin glanced at Wu Gou and shook his head slightly. "Ah, look at you. You said that I didn't teach well at that time, but look at others. Why is there such a big gap between people?"

Wu Gou almost vomited blood. How could this pretty boy learn so quickly? And Han Anmin really thought he was a teacher. What a joke.

Everyone knows that this idiot can only do things but not teach. Newbies are most afraid of following you to work. Unfortunately, Wu Gou couldn't understand why Li Feng could learn so quickly after meeting Han Anmin. He went up and down the hill without any problem in the whole morning.

Although he is a little unrestrained occasionally, he is far superior to other newbies. Just at noon when work was over and Han Fuguo and several cadres were holding a small meeting, Han Anmin showed off.

"Is there still this?"

Everyone was a little skeptical that Han Anmin would teach students to joke, but Han Anmin's explanation was convincing. "Of course it's true, Uncle Abacus. If you don't believe me, go check it out this afternoon. I guarantee I'm not lying."

"Okay, kid, you're quite capable."

Scarhead smiled and patted Han Anmin on the shoulder. "You, if you take good care of him, you might become a good fighter again."

"Of course not. I saw he was working very hard."

"Da, if it were you, I'd say you should settle down here right away. Where else can you find such good labor?" "Okay, I'll go to the commune tomorrow morning and take care of it."

Han Fuguo listened to Li Feng's good work in the morning and thought that he was overthinking it. He was a good young man who could get things done, and he was too suspicious.

"Ouch."

Li Feng couldn't pretend anymore as soon as he got home. His shoulder was in so much pain that he grimaced. Although Shi Chunhua later brought him a pad of cloth, the broken skin still hurt when it rubbed against it. Not to mention that he had to carry manure. If it weren't for the mission, he wouldn't have been able to persist.

"Where does this red mercury come from?"

"Given by the Third Grandma."

Daya carefully applied the medicine on Li Feng. Li Feng had seen this medicine when he was a child. It was called mercurochrome, but it was rarely used later and was replaced by iodine. After all, mercurochrome is toxic.

"Apply less."

"Oh."

After applying the medicine, the two girls gave Li Feng a good massage. Although the eldest and second girls were a little thin, they were quite strong and the massage was quite comfortable.

He fell asleep all of a sudden. Seeing that Li Feng was asleep, Daya pulled the quilt to cover him, turned around, took Erya's hand, and went to the kitchen quietly to cook.

"What, it smells good."

Li Feng sniffled and sat up. Ouch, his body felt sore and swollen. He had never worked before, so he couldn't bear the sudden work. "Daya, what are you burning?"

"Sorghum rice."

"Third Aunt sent over a large bowl of sorghum rice today."

"Sorghum rice?"

What an unfamiliar word! Li Feng thought for a long time. He seemed to have never eaten this thing before, so he wondered what it tasted like. "Oh, I just forgot to check the progress of the task."

'The progress of the manure water experience challenge task is 96%'

Great, only 4% left. I should be able to finish it this afternoon. Hehe, the reward is coming. "System, how long does it take to claim the reward after completing the task?"

"Two to three days."

"So long?"

Well, this guy is silent again. Li Feng is helpless, but the system is quite reasonable. The reward redemption is enabled before the task is completed.

"Ten work points can only be exchanged for one non-staple food ticket. Isn't this a bit too high?"

"A pound of meat coupons costs ten work points?"

"The food coupons are okay, three points for one pound of rice."

"Exchange for five jin of grain coupons, one jin of meat coupons, half a jin of non-staple food coupons, and half a jin of sugar coupons."

Well, after spending thirty-five work points, the remaining work points, calculated at five cents each, are only three yuan. After buying meat, grain, sugar, and other non-staple foods, I'm afraid it won't even be enough to buy a decent bottle of wine. Alas, it's still too little.

"No matter what, we have to advance into the virtual space and grind away 4% of our progress."

There was not enough sorghum rice for lunch, so Li Feng was too embarrassed to eat it all. Although Daya and Erya said they were not hungry, how could they not be hungry after working all morning? "Eat it, we can have white flour buns in two days."

Daya stared at the eldest brother. She was really scared that Li Feng kept talking about white flour steamed buns in the morning. She went to the third grandmother's house to borrow sorghum rice, but she never thought that her father was not satisfied after eating the sorghum rice and kept talking about white flour steamed buns.

She really had no choice. She was only a ten-year-old child. How could she borrow so much white flour to make white steamed buns? This was the white flour that the captain's family only ate during the New Year and other festivals.

“I don’t…”

"Eat quickly. Don't worry about the white flour buns. They will be available in the next two days, and there will be meat too."

Li Feng chuckled, and this laughter made Daya even more at a loss. Even if there was meat on the white flour bun, Daya remembered what her mother said, that some people robbed others on the road in order to eat white flour buns and big pieces of meat, and they were caught and shot.

“I don’t want…”

"I don't want anything, not even the meat buns. Don't be so happy now, kid. You can be happy later when you get to eat them."

Delicious, meat buns, fried fish, some side dishes, and a bottle of wine to relax, these past few days have been a life that no one should live. Not to mention, the thought of the meat buns made Li Feng's mouth water.

"It's worthless."

But the meat buns were so delicious that the more she thought about it, the more she laughed. Daya was almost scared to tears, and her eyes were full of tears. She thought to herself that she had to watch over her father even if she didn't sleep at night.

Li Feng was so happy that he didn't pay much attention. After he started working, he kept a close eye on the progress of the task and finally finished it when it was almost time to get off work.

"Congratulations on completing the challenge of carrying manure water."

"It's done, great."

Li Feng was shocked. Great! He finally completed the task.

At the same time, among the manuscripts compiled and published by a newspaper in the provincial capital, there was a manuscript about collecting manure water.

"Have you sent out the royalties?"

"Editor-in-chief, don't worry, I've already passed it on."

　Thanks to Qiangzi898, Shuchongdadazhu, and Tanwanghuixiangxiaofeng for their rewards.
