Eating melons

Wei Wei: "So Auntie Zhou just agreed? Didn't she go to Mr. Zhou's workplace to make a scene?"

"How could there not be a quarrel? Back then, the Zhou family had a lot of quarrels. There were quarrels every day at home, and they even fought. It was the team leader who stepped in to mediate.

Later, Zhou Laoer's wife threatened to kill everyone if Mrs. Zhou went to Zhou Laoer's workplace to cause trouble. She said that she would set the house on fire and would not let them live. Only then did Mrs. Zhou and the eldest son of the Zhou family give up.

After that, they both took a step back and Zhou Laoer gave her five yuan a month as pension. After all, Mrs. Zhou didn't want to really ruin Zhou Laoer's job, as that would leave her with no money. However, since then, Zhou Laoer and his family have rarely returned.

So this week the old woman is just showing off, as if everyone knows what's going on in her family."

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi thought this was normal. If Old Lady Zhou agreed with just a few words, it would be completely impossible given Old Lady Zhou's appearance.

It is said that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the elderly, and this is not without basis.

However, not only the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of the old man, the eldest son is also the lifeblood. Generally, only girls and children in the middle are not favored.

If the person in the middle is a daughter, then the buffs are usually stacked up full. The original owner, Wei Wei, was like this. She was in the middle, a daughter, and the source of the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Isn't the buff stacked up full!

However, Zhou Laoer and his wife are also talented people. They were able to carve out a path for themselves in such a family, and that path in this era can be described as a road to Rome. I feel that these two people can write a book.

The ladies over there have already started the next round of gossip after winning the argument with Old Lady Zhou.

They are all gossiping about other people, and it's nothing more than who's wife is doing this or that, who's so-and-so is looking for a date again, or who's gone to live with a widow again.

Or they would show off about their relatives, such as who moved to the city or who married a city girl.

Anyway, everyone was talking with great interest, and the four of them were listening with great interest.

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi listened attentively, their hands never stopped and corn kernels fell non-stop.

Those aunties who were gossiping never stopped talking, but their hands never stopped either, and their speed was not slow.

This is talent, but not everyone can do two things at once.

Not only were they working hard here, but also in the fields. Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin were especially busy. They were working very seriously, which was completely different from their previous slacking off.

As for why this happened, it was mainly because I heard Wei Wei and Jiang Qi say in the morning that they could earn more than ten work points a day, and they planned to work hard to earn more in the next few days.

This also put pressure on them. It was okay to be lazy, but they couldn't be at the bottom. If the work points were calculated later and the female educated youth had more work points than them, it would be embarrassing.

The most important thing is that Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao are not good at their work, and everyone in the team knows this.

If their work points are less than Wei Wei and Liu Yun by then, they will become famous in the team.

Although they didn't care about being famous or what their reputation would be like, they didn't want to become famous in this way, so the two of them gathered their energy and started working hard.

At this time, Xiao Xuemu was particularly grateful that he had gone to the county town two days ago and dealt with a lot of things in the space, so the work in the space was not too busy these days, otherwise he might not be able to hold on.

When Yu Xi saw the two of them, although he didn't know why they suddenly worked so hard, he didn't want to fall behind and worked hard too.

Xiao Xuemu has been doing farm work in the space for several years, and he has been practicing since he was a child. If he works seriously, he is a good worker.

Although Li Zhibin had never done farm work before, he learned it in the past few months. He has been practicing since he was a child, so he can naturally do well if he works hard.

Yu Xi has also been training since he was a child. Although he is not as serious as Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu, he still has the aura of the male lead and is not much worse than Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin.

Compared with the previous few days, the three of them are in a completely different situation. Although their work points have not doubled, they have still increased by half.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi worked hard to rub the bamboo baskets. They rubbed seven baskets in the morning. Seeing that it was almost time to cook, they went back to cook.

But before going back, I registered a basket of corn and planned to come over early to rub it after dinner.

Jiang Qi looked at the time. It was just twelve o'clock. "It's still early. We'll have rice for lunch today and dinner. Let's steam all the ingredients in one pot at noon and keep them warm on the stove. They won't be cold when we get home in the evening. We can just mix them together when we get home late."

Wei Wei thought about it and decided, "Sure, I can make some salad for lunch. I can make more and save it for dinner. That way, the dinner will be ready. I can do this for the next while, which will save me a lot of time."

Jiang Qi: "Okay."

Anyway, the two of them decided to earn as many work points as possible during this period.

If this works, I can go to the team leader more often in the next few years to plead his good words and ask him to assign them here when it's time to rub the corn kernels.

In this way, the average work points can be raised during this period, and it will be no problem to catch some fish during the autumn harvest.

There was no way. The autumn harvest some time ago really scared the two of them. You know, at the beginning they were so tired that their whole bodies ached. Not to mention the difficulty in moving, even eating was a problem.

My wrists hurt from holding the sickle for so long, and I couldn’t even use chopsticks with my claws.

But not working is not an option either, as everyone is working, and if someone accuses you of something, you’ll be in trouble.

That's why they try their best to get work points from other easy places.

Now that they finally caught one, the two of them didn't want to try their best to get more work points.

Anyway, the two of them made up their minds to do it, and they got up early and went to bed late every day.

It’s not right to say that they get up early and go to bed late. After all, they don’t go to bed late, they just get up early.

Although they didn't work until late, they were the last to leave every day because dinner had already been prepared at noon and was warm, so they could work longer in the afternoon.

The two worked so hard that they earned very good work points. Except for the first day when they only earned twelve work points, they earned no less than fifteen work points every day thereafter, and of course no more than eighteen work points.

In this way, they can earn the same amount of work points in one day as two people would have earned in three days of weeding.

Even the scorer and the ladies who were rubbing the corn with them were frightened by the way the two men were rubbing the corn.

After all, this is almost twice what those aunties paid, but these aunties didn't say anything.

After all, they saw the efforts of the two people. They arrived at six o'clock every morning, and by the time they came to work, they had already rubbed at least a basket of corn cobs.

Although I often chat with them and listen to them, their hands never stop rubbing corn cobs.

In this way, the two of them worked frantically to earn work points. After half a month, they had finished rubbing the corn and the autumn harvest was coming to an end. This time, the harvest was almost finished and there was not much work left in the fields.

Only the winter vegetables are left, but there are still quite a few radishes and cabbages.

Because of the work point rules of the Red Star Brigade, the more you work, the more work points you get, and the more food and money you get, so many people come to reclaim wasteland every year.

Every year, a lot of wasteland is reclaimed, more and more land is cultivated, the harvest is getting better and better, and the people in the team are more and more motivated. This is a virtuous circle.

Therefore, the cultivated land area of ​​the Red Star Brigade is still very large, much larger than that of the surrounding brigades. Of course, the harvest is also much better, and the villagers in the team live a much better life.

Toilets and wells for several people were also dug. Seeing the completed toilets, the seven of them breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they didn't have to go to the Youth League compound in front to use the toilet.

Jiang Qi and Wei Wei walked around the well and looked at it. They had already asked Liu Aiying about this and knew that it would not freeze in winter.

The two of them just felt it was very magical. This thing needs to be pressed by hand, and water can only come out if it is pressed hard. There is a piston in the middle. In weather like now where the temperature is high and there is no freezing, there is no need to worry about it.

When winter comes and it snows and freezes, pull out the piston every time you pump water. This way, the water in the pipe will flow back to the bottom and the well will not freeze.

The two knew the principle, but they still found it magical. They didn't expect that the drilling technology was so advanced at that time.
