A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling
Chapter 173 Long Live Her Majesty the Great Queen!
Time flies, and the newly arrived educated youth hadn't had a long time to rest before they faced the thing they least wanted to do.
The purpose of sending people to the countryside was not to let them live a life of luxury, but to have them do farm work. Spring has arrived, the ground has thawed, but it cannot be cultivated directly yet. The land must be turned over first, otherwise how can you sow seeds on such a hard ground?
So, after a winter's rest, all the team members officially entered the spring plowing season.
The first month of the lunar calendar seems long, but it actually passes by in the blink of an eye. It's not until the second day of the second lunar month that the land in Northeast China truly thaws. Sweet potatoes and potatoes can then be started as seedlings and planted. Spring wheat in Northeast China is quite cold-resistant and can also be sown after the start of spring, then harvested in June or July. Therefore, there's a lot of farm work during this period, but overall it's relatively easy.
Of course, this ease is relative to the farmers who have spent their whole lives farming. For the newly arrived educated youth, it's already quite good that they can distinguish between wheat seedlings and weeds.
For food security reasons, the brigade leader didn't dare assign them too many technical tasks, and could only have them do some physical labor, such as turning over soil, watering, and digging irrigation ditches.
Moreover, these tasks were not all assigned to the educated youth, so as not to make them feel that the brigade leader was xenophobic, protective of his own, or bullying others.
Therefore, before starting work, the team leader usually organizes a team meeting to clearly explain the differences between various tasks and work points, and then assigns farm work according to individual wishes and overall considerations.
So, the ten newly arrived educated youths, except for Zhu Zhiguo who was still recovering from his injuries, were all assigned by the brigade leader to be mentored by an experienced member. The male educated youths went to dig ditches, while the female educated youths went to cultivate seedlings.
……
Yun Shu didn't lack work points, so naturally she didn't take on farm work. She was only responsible for reading some manuscripts and articles for the brigade's broadcasting station, and also arranged for the team members to listen to some radio programs such as revolutionary songs, crosstalk, and storytelling.
The work is easy; all you need to do is tinker with the equipment in the broadcasting studio. When you have free time, you can bring your typewriter over and continue being a happy little coder.
As for Jing Shu, she still made use of her strengths. On the surface, she found herself an easy job. While cutting potato and sweet potato chunks to grow seedlings with her old friend Aunt Zhou, she could also find time to get some chicken, duck and gosling chicks to prepare for a small-scale 'breeding' business.
Yes, that's right. In order to find a legitimate excuse for her extravagant spending habits, Yun Shu had no choice but to return to her old profession as a programmer.
Lin Jingshu, whose background and circumstances were not as good as Yun Shu's, could only do some small business. Of course, at this time, buying and selling was not allowed. Lin Jingshu initially used the "barter" model and also met a lady from the supply and marketing cooperative in the city, thus naturally developing a side business for herself.
After all, the supply and marketing cooperative also needs to purchase some supplies. Lin Jingshu was a sent-down youth and could not find a job in the county town on her own, but she could "help" to seek benefits for the workers.
Therefore, she cooperated with the older sister of the supply and marketing cooperative, and cleverly pulled together several team members, including Aunt Zhou, to provide the cooperative with things like eggs and pickled vegetables, which the cooperative would then purchase at market prices.
At first, Lin Jingshu just thought that the law would not punish the masses. Later, to be on the safe side, Xie Yicheng gave her a suggestion through Yun Shu, asking Lin Jingshu to go with Aunt Zhou and the others to find Director Lin and the brigade leader to register a production team at the brigade headquarters, thus changing it from a private to a public organization.
On the surface, this extra income was counted as part of the brigade's total income, but in reality, Lin Jingshu and others only needed to symbolically hand over a portion of the income to the brigade quarterly.
This can also be considered a form of public-private partnership.
Later, some team members were envious and went to complain to the brigade leader. However, Director Lin stepped in and told them that they could also hand over their belongings to Comrade Lin and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city. The brigade would then settle the accounts and pay them, which was no different from the supply and marketing cooperative's purchasing agent going to the countryside to buy materials.
Moreover, with the Fengsheng Brigade taking the lead, the price is definitely much more affordable than selling to the purchasing agent individually. However, since the supply and marketing cooperative channel was opened up by Lin Zhiqing, he will definitely receive more 'work points' and be in charge of the matter.
So now no one was envious anymore. Those who used to dislike Jing Shu now all rushed to the educated youth settlement, trying their best to persuade Jing Shu to join them.
Then, to Lin Jingshu's surprise, the production team grew larger and larger, gradually becoming a sideline business for the entire Fengsheng Brigade.
……
In fact, Lin Jingshu was indirectly taking over the purchasing agent's job, but fortunately, she had the official endorsement of the brigade headquarters and the help of all the female team members who wanted to earn money to supplement their family income, so she herself was not too conspicuous.
But even so, she was still considered an unofficial purchasing agent for the supply and marketing cooperative. As everyone knows, purchasing agents are one of the eight most coveted positions, and as for why they are so enviable, there is naturally room for manipulation.
Therefore, although Lin Jingshu's life was getting better and better, almost three-quarters of the households in the entire brigade had to sell their pickled vegetables and various other things to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in the city through her. The brigade leader also told Director Lin that this was a side business for the entire Fengsheng brigade, so naturally no one would be so foolish as to say that Jingshu was speculating or reselling.
In a way, this can be considered as her finding herself a 'job'.
Therefore, Yun Shu would often sigh and think, no wonder she is a female protagonist in a farming novel, her mind is only filled with ambition and making money.
From the moment she was sent to the countryside, she found all sorts of loopholes to start side businesses. Eventually, she was even "recruited" by the authorities, and after the reform and opening up, she was able to openly engage in private business. Well! This completely removed the constraints on the female lead, allowing her to take off directly from the right cusp of opportunity.
No wonder the original text provoked Jiang Xiucheng to have a burst of male chauvinism, and he kept wanting Jing Shu to transform from a career woman into a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Comrade Jing Shu is truly powerful, turning everyone else from the pride of heaven into dirt beneath the feet of the Great Queen. For her, love is merely a spice in life, not a necessity.
However, Yun Shu still supports her sister's career, after all, she is Jing Jing's god-sister, her only best friend, and the little Hakimi who was brought along by her.
Any powerful figure who can make her feel at ease is someone she will support and endorse at all costs!
She used to get flustered and blush when reading books about Jing Shu's ambition, but now that she's personally experienced it and become one of the beneficiaries of Jing Shu's ambition, she just wants to shout, "Long live Her Majesty the Queen!" Anyone who can't accept it, get out of here!
