Chapter 43: Rubbing Corn 2

So Wei Wei and Jiang Qi decided to work hard. They didn't even take a lunch break after lunch. They didn't bring the stools back at noon, so they took their water bottles, gloves and Liberation shoes and went directly to the threshing ground to rub the corn.

When the two of them arrived, no one had come yet. They didn't care and just picked up the corn and started rubbing it.

After the two men had rubbed half a basket of corn, people started to come one after another.

It gets dark earlier and earlier now, so most people who do this kind of easy work just take a short break at noon and then come to work. After all, the more you work, the more you earn, and rubbing one more basket means one work point.

Liu Aiying also came, "Jiang Zhiqing, you're here so early?"

Jiang Qi: "I have nothing to do now, so I came to work."

Liu Aiying: "His ideological awareness is really good."

Liu Aiying really didn't expect that the two of them would be so diligent this time. You know, since they came to the brigade, because her husband is the brigade leader, she still knows how they work.

Although the two of them were not good at working, they had money in their pockets and could buy food to survive, so her husband turned a blind eye.

After all, the team would reclaim wasteland at the beginning of spring every year, and now the amount of grain is increasing year by year. As long as they can afford the money, the team is still very welcome to these educated youth who can afford the money.

After all, the money they use to buy food is given to the team. The more money the team has, the more valuable their work points are, and the more money they will get at the end of the year.

Liu Aiying came, and the two of them went to get a basket of corn to register, and then they started rubbing it.

The two of them worked very hard and had good tools. In the afternoon, they each rubbed six and a half baskets of corn. This was because they had to go back early to cook, otherwise they could have added another basket.

Everyone was surprised to see that the two of them earned twelve work points a day by rubbing corn cobs. However, when they thought about their wasteful behavior and the fact that they were rubbing corn cobs with their Liberation shoes, they felt that it was normal for them to work so fast.

Everyone also gave up the idea of ​​competing with them. They really had no way of catching up. Even if they didn't rest, they could only gain ten centimeters a day at most, which was no way for them to catch up.

However, after today, the news of the two people squandering money spread throughout the team.

Even with the Liberation Shoes, their hands felt sore after rubbing so much corn in a day, but it was still much better than during the autumn harvest.

You have to know that during the autumn harvest, they both walked like ducks, went down the stairs like they were dancing in the square, and had to hold on to something when they bent over. You can imagine how tired they were.

The most important thing is that the autumn harvest is so tiring, but the work points are only about half of what they are now.

The two were unfamiliar with each other this morning, but now they have gotten the hang of it. If they go earlier tomorrow morning, they will definitely be able to earn more.

The two of them made up their minds and finished their meal, washed up and went back to sleep. Wei Wei didn't even go shopping in the system mall, but went straight to bed and got up early the next morning.

The next morning, they both got up at five o'clock. You should know that even during the autumn harvest, they didn't get up so early. During the autumn harvest, they would stay in bed until half past five.

The two of them got up early and made breakfast early. Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu got up only after they had finished their meal.

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu were stunned to see the two of them up so early. You know, even if these two were going to the county town, which was such a long distance, they would not even have time to eat in order to sleep for a few more minutes.

Li Zhibin: "What are you two doing so early in the morning? The sun shouldn't have risen in the west yet, right?"

Jiang Qi: "During this period, our task is to rub corn kernels. We rub them with our Liberation Shoes, which is very efficient and not tiring. Now that this work is not tiring, it is a good opportunity. We can both earn more work points. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for us to calculate the work points when the grain is distributed."

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu both thought about their work points. They and Liu Jiaojiao should have accumulated more work points. If they were reported by someone with ulterior motives for cheating and slacking off at work, they would be doomed.

Xiao Xuemu was thinking more, and he looked at Jiang Qi and Wei Wei twice more.

He saw the Liberation shoes of both women, both were new and the same. He guessed that they must have come from one of them, but he didn't know who they belonged to.

As for why it was bought by one of them instead of in town or county.

That's because he discovered that no matter what the two of them did, the one named Liu Jiaojiao would follow, regardless of whether she was useful or not.

As for the one named Wu Mei, it all depends on her ability.

However, he felt that these two people were also traps. He learned the word "trap" from those readers when he was reading the book.

As for why she was in trouble, it was because the educated youth named Liu Jiaojiao was working with Wu Mei at the time. Seeing that Wu Mei was working seriously, she also planned to work hard. It was only when she saw Wei Wei and Jiang Qi slacking off that she slacked off.

He also learned the term "moyu" from those readers. It was only then that he realized that "moyu" had such a meaning.

But now, the two of them have secretly turned over and started to make a comeback, while Liu Jiaojiao is still playing badly. If this isn't a trap, what is it?

However, Xiao Xuemu did not say these.

Xiao Xuemu: "In that case, you can take your time off from work. There's no need to rush. It's okay to have dinner a little later. The workload isn't that heavy anymore anyway.

Also, it would be a good idea for you to accumulate more work points during this period. If your work points don't meet the minimum standard, you may have to pay more for food."

Wei Wei: "Okay, then you guys take the food back and eat! We're going out now."

Xiao Xuemu: "Okay."

After saying that, he and Li Zhibin took breakfast back. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi also took their equipment and went out.

Liu Jiaojiao hadn't gotten up yet, and Wu Mei was making breakfast. But she was still surprised to see the two of them go out so early. She wanted to ask, but Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had already walked away, so she had to give up.

There are people guarding the warehouse at night. After all, it would be bad if so much food was stolen. They also have to patrol to prevent fires, as these are the hopes of the entire brigade for the coming year.

Zhang Guodong, the eldest son of the Zhang family, was one of those who was on guard last night. He was surprised to see Jiang Qi and Wei Wei coming to work so early.

Zhang Guodong: "Wei Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing, you're here to work so early?"

Wei Wei: "Yeah, earn some work points! Brother Zhang, please bring us a basket of corn."

Zhang Guodong: "Corn? You mean corn? Wait, I'll pack it for you."

When Zhang Guodong came out carrying two baskets of corn, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi saw the baskets and raised their eyebrows.

In fact, the real backpack is also quite famous, just like the one Zhang Guodong filled today, but it is not as full as yesterday.

When the two of them picked it up, they were even more surprised. This one was lighter than yesterday's. It seemed that placing it was also a technical job. Yesterday's backpacks were all very solid.

You have to know that work points are calculated based on the number of backpacks, not the number of them. Even though the Red Star Brigade is relatively fair in the distribution of work, there are always policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom.

Both of them knew that Zhang Guodong was taking care of them!

Wei Wei: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Jiang Qi: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Zhang Guodong: "What's the big deal?"

These are the two Gods of Wealth in the family. This year, the family has earned a lot of money from them and exchanged them for a lot of good things, such as cloth.

Moreover, all the firewood for the two of them this year will be purchased from their home, which is another considerable income.

And I will definitely buy a lot of things like chestnuts, pine nuts and hazel mushrooms.

His mother has said that this year the whole family must go to the mountains, some must pick mushrooms, some must chop wood, and no one can be lazy.

During the winter, we need cloth to provide each room with a set of clothes. These days, cloth is so hard to come by!

This year, each family has enough fabric for one set of clothes, and everyone is working very hard! We've already dried several bags of mushrooms and vegetables at home.

The yard was filled with firewood. Everyone knew that there would be educated youth coming to his house to buy firewood this year, but the people in the brigade didn't say much this year because they knew that educated youth Wei would definitely come to their house to buy firewood.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't care what they were thinking. They took the corn and started working on it. They rubbed it non-stop, and the corn kernels fell off with a rustling sound.

Several people who were on night watch also heard people in the brigade say yesterday that the two new educated youths, Wei and Jiang, were spendthrifts and used their new Liberation shoes to rub corn cobs.

But he rubs it very quickly, and can earn more than ten work points a day!
