Chapter 29 The Announcer's Job
In this revolutionary era, every job had its own importance. For example, being a broadcaster, as Chen Ming said, was a top-notch job because it was sheltered from the wind and rain. However, being a broadcaster was not as simple as those who did not know the inside story imagined.
Fengsheng Brigade was a relatively large production team. The members' houses were divided into eight groups, totaling over a thousand people. (The commune, production brigade, and production team were hierarchical. A production team consisted of about twenty households, with 150 to 200 people. Here, the concept of a team is blurred and replaced with a unified brigade, so a thousand people is more reasonable.)
Besides corn, soybeans, and potatoes, other staple crops in Fengsheng Brigade include sweet potatoes and peanuts. Therefore, the busy harvest season in Fengsheng Brigade is always a diverse and varied affair, with a wide range of tasks involved.
Some were picking corn, some were bagging it, some were digging potatoes, and the older women and their wives would cut sweet potato vines and potato vines. The children would also follow behind the adults to pick up the leftover grain.
The announcer's job is closely related to the team members' work. In addition to reading out various documents from above, they also need to be proficient in using various equipment to play music and recite poems for the team members.
Yun Shu is usually in charge of issuing notices regarding various rewards, punishments, and penalties. In addition, Yun Shu also has to coordinate with her superiors every day and read out inaccurate weather forecasts before everyone goes to bed at night.
In fact, people first read weather forecasts in the daily newspaper on July 1, 1956, and from then on, public meteorology slowly began to develop.
After years of development, weather information has been disseminated throughout the country via newspapers and radio waves, but... the accuracy is not that high.
As for the television version of the weather forecast, it would appear on the public eye in 1980. Of course, that was a matter for the television station and had nothing to do with Yun Shu's current work.
She claims to be a broadcaster, but she's probably just a mouthpiece, saying and relaying what's been sent down from above. She's incredibly famous, which means Yun Shu doesn't have to take responsibility for her words.
……
Today is the first day of the busy farming season, so there needs to be some sense of ceremony. Of course, it's not the kind of thing that promotes feudal superstition, but the team leader has reminded Yunshu several times that it's essential to boost the morale of the team members and keep them full of fighting spirit.
Yun Shu, who got up an hour early and left home, and had only eaten some bread and drank milk for breakfast, nodded to indicate that she understood. Then, under the expectant gaze of the captain, she began to select the available resources in the broadcasting room.
There were four main types of broadcasting equipment in that era: vacuum tube radios, tape recorders, vinyl record players, and cassette players.
These devices are widely used in homes and radio stations, meeting various broadcasting needs today. However, vinyl record players have become less common since they became popular; unfortunately, in stereotypes, they carry some old-fashioned connotations.
The wealth of the Fengsheng Brigade was also reflected in their broadcasting room, which contained a cassette recorder and a vacuum tube radio.
The vacuum tube radio in front of Yun Shu was the mainstay of the broadcasting studio. It could receive radio programs from Beijing Broadcasting Station and local television stations, and Yun Shu could play these programs for her team members after reading documents.
It was both a form of entertainment for the team members and a time for Yun Shu to rest.
Moreover, Heilongjiang Province recently launched its own radio station, 805. Yun Shu thought that there might be some things there that the team members would like to hear more.
After a few simple steps with the instruction manual next to her, Yun Shu quickly got the hang of tuning the channel. To be honest, it wasn't difficult at all, far less complicated than the equipment from later generations. The instruction manual was also easy to understand, so Yun Shu was able to operate it proficiently very quickly.
Captain Xie and the others watched for a while, then nodded in approval of Yun Shu's abilities as a city girl. To be able to use such an expensive item so quickly showed she was a city kid, naturally intelligent.
……
Before 8 a.m., Yun Shu tried several times to quickly improve her proficiency and also adjusted the microphone and loudspeaker in the broadcasting room.
When it started at eight o'clock, Yun Shu quickly switched to "The East Is Red". Accompanied by the stirring music, the brigade leader patted the microphone, picked up the speech he had prepared in advance and revised a few words every year, and inspired people through the microphone and loudspeaker.
The scorekeeper had assigned tasks to everyone well in advance, and people carrying sickles could be seen everywhere in the fields. At the captain's command, the sound of work chants filled the air throughout Fengsheng Brigade.
The first day of the harvest was the most exciting. The watches were golden, representing the bountiful harvest, and every team member felt a deep sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.
An adult male can earn a maximum of twelve centimeters of work points per day, while a woman can earn eleven centimeters. Of course, this is the maximum work points that can be earned by working extremely hard.
During the busy farming season, the children who were responsible for herding cattle and sheep could also earn four or five centimeters. The centimeters for cutting pig feed were few, calculated by weight; twenty kilograms of pig feed counted as three centimeters.
Because pigs are omnivorous, there are not many restrictions on their food. This is also the time when autumn grass is abundant, so cutting pig feed is not considered a strenuous task.
This job was usually given to the elderly, children, or sick people in the team, as a way to supplement their household income. Later, some well-off educated youth who went to the countryside couldn't bear the hardship of working in the fields and couldn't get jobs like elementary school teachers. So they slowly figured it out and asked the team leader for the job of cutting pig feed.
Twenty kilograms of pig feed in the morning, and another twenty kilograms in the afternoon. Six centimeters a day would earn enough for a small share of grain at the end of the year. Of course, it was unrealistic to expect to eat one's fill with just six centimeters, but those who chose this job weren't meant to survive on work points.
Therefore, Lin Jingshu was very satisfied.
She pulled out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and offered to trade one orange candy for five pounds of pig feed. The children on half the hillside rushed to compete for the job, so Lin Jingshu even completed her daily workload in less than two hours.
Of course, this is assuming we ignore the child soldiers who have candy in their mouths but are being beaten to tears by their own parents.
Anyway, Comrade Lin Jingshu has no guilty conscience.
Having earned nine centimeters in one morning, Lin Jingshu happily went back to cook dinner under the watchful, conflicted gaze of the scorekeeper. Meanwhile, Xie Yunshu, who also earned nine centimeters a day in the broadcasting studio, happened to be playing a rather upbeat song, so halfway there, Lin Jingshu couldn't help but jump around.
