Chapter 38: The Problem of Eating from the Pot
If the supplies in her space were still there, he wouldn't care, but now there was nothing in her space except what she bought herself.
Thinking about how Qiao Lei earned so much money from just a pair of gloves, she felt extremely depressed. She had misjudged the same person several times!
Qiao Lei also noticed Gu Qingqing's eyes. She didn't expect the gloves to be so expensive, and she didn't expect Gu Qingqing to care about such a small amount of money.
Several people stood at the edge of the field for a long time without getting out. When the scorekeeper Wang Hongyu came to divide the work, she said to them as she passed by, "Look at Liu Zhiqing, he's already gone a long way, and you're still standing here."
When they saw that Liu Yuanda had already finished about ten meters, they hurried down to work.
After starting to work, Jiang Yanqiu ignored everyone else. She had been used to this job after two days.
In addition, she was originally very strong. When she first went to the countryside, she had diarrhea every day and didn't have enough to eat, so she didn't have the strength to work. However, she still insisted on getting eight work points.
Jiang Yanqiu has been eating well for more than a week. During the past few days since moving out, she has also been drinking the spiritual spring water in the space. Now she feels full of energy and it is not difficult for her to do this work.
She kept her head down and worked hard. By breakfast time, she had almost caught up with Liu Yuanda. Both of them had finished two-thirds of a furrow of land.
Zhao Lanlan was not far from them. She originally wanted to wait for Wang Haiyang, but Wang Haiyang was talking and laughing with Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei, and he didn't move from his position for a long time.
She couldn't get a word in, and since she made a living from work points, she didn't have the time to chat with them, so she just worked faster.
Everyone took their own breakfast, found a place to sit down and ate. Because there were not enough kettles, they couldn't wash their hands, so they didn't care and just wiped them on their clothes. They broke two branches, peeled them and used them as chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, they continued to work. When Jiang Yanqiu arrived at the end of the field, Liu Yuanda was already sitting on the ground dragon to rest. Soon Zhao Lanlan also arrived. The three of them were not in a hurry to turn over the next ridge. They all found a shady place to sit down and rest.
The next person to arrive at the field was Lin Shaoyang. Liu Yuanda saw him and said, "Please check whether my work is up to standard. If it is, I will continue working. I will try to get 12 work points today."
Lin Shaoyang threw the sweet potato vine in his hand to the ground and said with a smile: "Do you need me to check what you turned over? Look at mine, I'm not better than yours."
They have been in the village for many years and have only pulled weeds in the first year.
The first day they came, they were pulling weeds from the wheat fields, and they often pulled out wheat seedlings mistakenly for weeds.
The team leader was so angry that he arranged for them to do manual labor the next day.
I haven't done such an easy job since then.
Turning over the sweet potato vines was a job that was new to him, and he himself was not sure about it.
Liu Yuanda said with a smile: "No matter what, the process still needs to be followed."
If someone else were the team leader, he wouldn't bother to care.
However, Lin Shaoyang was four years younger than him, and the two came to the countryside to work together. There were thirty people who came together at the beginning, and they were all arranged to live in the brigade headquarters.
In the following year, another fifty or sixty people came and were arranged to live in the villagers' homes. I didn't know them very well.
By the time the village decided to build a educated youth center, the policy for educated youth to return to the city was announced.
Many factories in the city and county are being rebuilt and need a large number of workers. Anyone who meets the requirements can participate in the recruitment, and many people have returned to the city at once.
By now, those who have connections have returned to the city by applying for retirement due to illness, going back to cover for other shifts, or other means. Those who don’t have connections either marry locals or go to work in mines.
They were the only two left from the first batch of educated youth, so they could be considered brothers in distress.
Lin Shaoyang couldn't leave because his family was poor.
What about him? If he returned to the city, his second brother would have to go to the countryside. His family had always favored his second brother, so they asked him to hold on for now and wait until his second brother found a job before returning.
Now the chances of returning to the city are becoming increasingly difficult. His younger sister has already gone to the countryside, and his second brother has married and had children, but has not found a job yet.
They finally had a chance to be a team leader, so he had to support the other party's work so as not to put him in a difficult position.
Jiang Yanqiu also said: "Captain Lin, you can also see if I am qualified. If I am qualified, I will do this and get eight work points today."
"Okay." Lin Yiyang stood up to check, and the three of them continued to sit under the tree to rest.
Just as the three of them were sitting there, feeling sleepy, Lin Xiaomei suddenly ran over and shouted, "Liu Yuanda, you're sitting here resting instead of helping us. It's a shame that we're still eating from the same pot."
Lin Xiaomei has been following the speed of Qiao Lei and Wang Haiyang. Both of them are novices and don’t care about work points. The three of them have been chatting all the time. At this moment, all three of them are still in the middle of the field.
Lin Xiaomei thought that Liu Yuanda would come to her for a chat like before, but after waiting for a long time without any movement, she ran over to take a look. Seeing that he was resting leisurely under the shade of a tree, she immediately felt unhappy.
Liu Yuanda sat there motionless, his eyes still closed as he said, "Do you know what it means to record work points based on labor? Besides, even though we eat from the same pot, I haven't eaten a single extra grain of your rice. Why should I work for you?"
In fact, Liu Yuanda also had a crush on Lin Xiaomei at the beginning. When she first came, he was very attentive to her. In the end, Lin Xiaomei was attracted to him while no one else in the village was interested in him.
Only when Lin Xiaomei was abandoned did she want to treat him as a savior. He had already seen Lin Xiaomei and the other man going into the woods, so how could he still look down on her?
As a result, the other party wanted him to be a sucker and subsidize them, treating him as a fool.
If he hadn't felt that being an educated youth had a hard time, he would have discredited the other party long ago.
Lin Xiaomei got angry when she heard this and said angrily, "Okay, then don't eat the vegetables I grow, and don't share the grain from my private plot!"
Liu Yuanda scoffed, "You planted it? Didn't we loosen the soil and fertilize the vegetable patch and private plot? If that's what you're thinking, we'll separate next year. Everything, including the pots, pans, and utensils, will be yours. We don't have to use them, but you have to return the tickets and money we gave you before. Also, don't even think about using the water from the well out back!"
He had long since stopped wanting to eat with others. There were fewer people before, and he felt embarrassed to leave alone.
But now there are so many people living alone in the entire educated youth center, so it’s not surprising that he eats alone.
Lin Xiaomei hadn't expected Liu Yuanda to be so heartless. Just as she was about to speak, the team leader came over and yelled, "What are you guys doing here? Have you earned enough work points?"
He came to see how the educated youth were doing, but he heard a quarrel before he even arrived.
No matter how many work points the educated youth earned, they could not be allowed to quarrel.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Jiang Yanqiu hurriedly said, "Captain, I just finished turning a ridge. This is my first time turning the sweet potato vines alone. I don't know if it's up to standard. Captain Lin is checking it out. Once he checks it out, I'll start turning the next ridge. If it's not up to standard, I can make up for it."
I had never turned the ridge alone before. I always stood in the middle of the ridge with other people, turning one side with one hand, and the aunt on the other side would help if there was a problem.
And there weren't as many weeds as here before.
