This decision was approved by most village cadres. Most of the educated youth nowadays have no shortage of work points, and the supervision from above is also quite lenient.

As long as they don't owe the brigade food, they can go to work or not.

Village Chief Zhao wanted to agree, but he was still a little worried. "What if there's a sudden inspection from above? What if we get caught? The educated youth came here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, but we're letting them not work. Isn't that a mistake?"

Accountant Li Mingxuan chimed in, "The educated youth these days are all very smart. If they want to return to the city, they have to behave well. If they don't, even if there are quotas, they won't get a chance. They have to work in the fields. Even if they only earn two or three work points a day, they will still work in the fields."

When Village Chief Zhao heard this, he thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

The third team leader was unhappy and grumbled, "Team Three is already hard enough to manage. Every day I have to keep those slacking off and assign tasks one by one. On top of that, I have to constantly break up fights, and sometimes I even get hurt accidentally. If more educated youth show up, how are we going to manage Team Three? You might as well just fire me as team leader."

Village Chief Zhao waved his hand and said, "Divide the educated youth into small groups and let Lin Shaoyang be in charge of them and assign them tasks. Lin Shaoyang is also a responsible person, so let him be the group leader and give him a subsidy of two work points. You will be responsible for supervising and verifying the work points. New educated youth will arrive soon, and I'm afraid we will be even more worried by then!"

Upon hearing this, the team leader's face immediately fell. He said unhappily, "Old Zhao, can't you just accept the educated youth? These few educated youth are causing trouble every day now. If they come again, they will cause more trouble. We don't have to do anything all day just to deal with their trivial matters."

The team leader and Village Chief Zhao had different divisions of labor. The team leader was responsible for production and paying public grain, while Village Chief Zhao was responsible for ideological education and coordinating with the commune's affairs. Naturally, he was also in charge of the educated youth.

Village Chief Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "Do you think I want to accept it? They insisted on sending it to us. I even suspect that there are mountains of gold and silver in our village, and they all specifically asked to come to our village."

The third team leader was still mumbling, "We can put them in Team One or Team Two, or we can give them work points based on how much work they do. They don't have to come to Team Three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Accountant Li jumped out to object: "That won't work! Teams one and two don't have scorekeepers. Only the team leader keeps track of work points. If the educated youth take the lead, over time, everyone else will follow suit and demand that work points be recorded based on labor volume. That will make it even harder to calculate work points in the future! We'll even have to assign someone specifically to be the scorekeeper, and one person won't be able to keep track of four or five scorekeepers."

Team One and Team Two only record abnormalities in work, and the rest of the work points are the same and are recorded uniformly by the team leader. There is no dedicated scorekeeper at all.

Team three is different. There are five scorers. Every day after work, they have to verify the completion of tasks, record work points according to the completion of tasks, and work part-time as supervisors, which makes the five scorers, team leaders and group leaders very busy.

Having said that, the team leader could only say, "Let's do this for now. We'll discuss it later if it doesn't work out. Don't worry about the educated youth being difficult to manage. Lin Shaoyang comes from a well-off family, is a good person, and is reliable. Even the most difficult educated youth will be given some face. He may not earn many work points, but he should be honest and work hard and won't cause any trouble."

Captain Three thought about it and felt that this was the only way.

Qiao Lei went back home to rest without Li Jinlai. When she thought about all the people lying on the kang, she felt itchy all over and quickly asked Lin Xiaomei to help her back to her room.

After Lin Xiaomei helped her back, she fetched water for her to wash and cooked millet porridge for her. She waited until she was too sleepy before leaving.

After Lin Xiaomei left, Qiao Lei put away her sleepiness, closed the door first, and tried to enter the space. Unexpectedly, she could actually get in.

She went in and saw that the land in the space was still there, and the thatched house she bought was still there. The warehouse that she couldn't enter was still there, and she could sense that the supplies in the warehouse were still there.

I felt relieved, the only regret was that the previous electronic virtual screen was gone, and the robot rewarded by the system was paralyzed and could not be used.

Fortunately, she was left with some growing space, otherwise she would have really collapsed.

After traveling through time for more than two months, she now knows how difficult life is for people in this era.

But then she was even more devastated. She could no longer harvest rice with her mind as she had done before.

She could plant and harvest the four plots of black soil she had acquired through the previous system upgrade using her mind. She only had to personally inspect the other wastelands.

It now looked like these four plots of land could only be harvested manually, but she didn't even have a sickle.

Looking at the limited black soil, she regretted exchanging the gold coins for a thatched house and chickens. What’s more, she even ate the chickens.

If I had known earlier, I should have upgraded the system mall a few more levels and obtained more black soil, so that I would not have to open up a lot of wasteland now.

Or you can buy a few more chickens and raise them in the space. They lay eggs and it would be great to eat.

What she regretted even more was that she hadn't been more diligent in planting more crops and storing them when the system was in place. Now, she only had a dozen carrots and a few cabbages left in her warehouse.

There are more than 100 catties of corn, and the millet harvested last time plus this time should be more than 300 catties. After shelling, there are probably about 230 catties.

As for seeds, she now only has four types: grass, carrots, corn and rice.

Qiao Lei's psychological endurance is still quite strong, after all, she still has a space for planting.

This is much better than what ordinary people have. Apart from anything else, being able to be used as a mobile warehouse is already very powerful, not to mention that her space can be used for planting and breeding.

Moreover, you don’t have to sell the crops you grow to the system in the future. Wouldn’t it be nice to exchange them for money yourself?

The system praised the mall to the skies, but she had never experienced it, so now that she had lost it, she wouldn't feel that bad.

But she was happy too early.

Early the next morning, a loud broadcast notified all the educated youth at the educated youth site to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.

Seeing Gu Qingqing, whom I hadn't seen for a few days, I found that she had lost a lot of weight and there was a look of hesitation on her face.

But think about it, how can I be in a good mood if all the things I bought for free are gone?

Qiao Lei looked even more listless, but she looked listless anyway when she wasn't smiling, so no one noticed.

Only Jiang Yanqiu sighed that she had a very good mental state. She vomited blood yesterday, but she could still continue to work today without any hope.

When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, only the three most senior village cadres were there: the brigade leader, the accountant, and the village chief.

The team leader took a sip of water and thought for a long time before saying, "After discussion among our team cadres, we have decided that from now on, you educated youth will form a group, with Lin Shaoyang as the group leader, and will be managed by Team 3. Like the villagers in Team 3, your work points will be calculated based on the amount of labor you put in..."

Before the captain could finish his words, Lin Xiaomei interrupted him and said, "Why? I don't agree."

The captain asked with a dark face: "Why don't you agree?"
