Eating melons

Chapter 381 Autumn Harvest

The Red Star Brigade was completely unaware of the twists and turns in Beijing.

Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao were already exhausted. When they heard that they were transferred to rub corn kernels, they seemed to see the ray of hope.

Although rubbing their arms will cause soreness, after this period of training, they have been able to adapt to the soreness.

If nothing else, at least you don’t need to go out in the sun to rub the corn kernels.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had both become several degrees darker, and Liu Jiaojiao was even darker. After all, she didn't have any sunscreen and didn't do any repair work after being sunburned.

Unlike Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, they apply sunscreen like it’s free before going out, and use a lot of facial masks and ointments at night.

Therefore, if you continue to be exposed to the sun like this, your skin will be sunburned, and if it doesn’t turn white again, it will be the end of you.

But Wu Mei did not come because Liu Jiaojiao spent a huge amount of money to buy a pair of Liberation shoes this year, but Wu Mei did not buy them.

She felt that it was not worthwhile to come here and rub the corn kernels without shoes.

But it would be even more uneconomical to buy the shoes, and she couldn't bear to waste them like that.

Wu Mei still felt that it was more profitable to earn work points in the fields, and Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao didn't say anything about this.

With the Liberation Shoes, Liu Jiaojiao is not so spoiled anymore. She follows Wei Wei and Jiang Qi to get up early and come back late every day, and is very self-conscious.

The old ladies and children who were rubbing corn kernels didn't say anything when they saw the three people like this.

After all, although he is a bit of a spendthrift, he is really good at work and can do the work of two of them.

Everyone is busy now, hoping to finish the work quickly, and no one will be jealous of their high work points.

They will just be happy. After all, autumn harvest is a race against time. It would be better to finish it early while the weather is good.

On the third day, Fang Yin arrived with two new female educated youth.

The new educated youth didn't know when Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao were assigned to rub corn kernels on the first day.

Even if the old educated youth knew, they would not say anything. After all, they knew how Wei Wei and Jiang Qi colluded, so even if they were jealous of their high work points, they would not say anything.

But the new educated youth found out the next day, and even learned that the three people's work points were very high, higher than the salary of a laborer. They earned fifteen or sixteen work points a day, and it was said that they might even earn twenty.

Not only were the work points high, but the worker didn't have to work in the fields. When Fang Yin heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He thought it was too unfair, so he immediately went to find Zhang Xinwang.

When Zhu Ying heard that Fang Yin was going to find Zhang Xinwang to talk about this, she immediately followed.

To be honest, she couldn't stand this kind of work in the fields anymore. She was really exhausted in the past two months and couldn't hold on any longer.

But she couldn't stop. If she stopped, countless people would criticize her. She was about to collapse.

Seeing Fang Yin coming to cause trouble, Zhang Xinwang was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But thinking that they would be a nuisance when working in the fields, he ignored them and just threw them to rub the corn kernels.

To be honest, Zhang Xinwang looked down on these two female educated youth. He really thought that rubbing corn kernels was easy and that work points were not so easy to earn.

Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao can earn such high work points because they are willing to invest.

Not only that, they are also willing to work hard. They arrive at work at dawn every day and go back after dark. Otherwise, how could they get such high work points?

Not wanting to get entangled any further, Zhang Xinwang simply sent Fang Yin and Zhu Ying to rub the corn kernels.

By the way, he also threw the female educated youth Wang Qiuju who came with him. Don't say that he was unfair. He wanted to see how many work points they could earn.

When Wang Qiuju came here and saw the corn kernels all over the ground, she was really surprised.

"Do we need to rub these off? Isn't this ground together with the core to make cornmeal?"

The old lady here was quite surprised to hear what Wang Qiuju said.

"Oh, there's a pretty knowledgeable girl here. She's done this job before."

Wang Qiuju nodded and said, "Yes, my grandparents are from the countryside, and I helped with the chores when I went to their house."

"In other brigades, the corn kernels are not rubbed off, but are crushed together with the corn cobs to make corn flour, but our brigade does not need that.

Our brigade has enough food to eat, and we can grind up the corn cobs to feed the chickens, pigs, and cows, so we don't have to waste food on feeding them."
