Chapter 6: earn points for work
Zhao Weiguo knew that Li Lijuan was deliberately resigning. In the past, he might not have said it and asked Zhao Xiulan to help. Now that Zhao Xiulan is sick, Li Lijuan is fine, and she should take more care.
Zhao Weiguo said with some dissatisfaction, "Can a female doll cook some porridge? What's so difficult about it? You can't or don't want to do it?"
Li Lijuan didn't dare to say anything if she was unwilling, she could only obey Zhao Weiguo's orders.
However, she gave Zhao Xiulan a vicious look, and felt that it was because of Zhao Xiulan that her stepfather asked her to do the work. The cooking job should not have fallen on her head.
The corners of Zhao Xiulan's mouth evoked an imperceptible smile, and then said "sensible" to Zhao Weiguo, "Dad, I will go to work later and earn work points."
"Xiulan, you are not feeling well, can you work? Why don't you just rest at home!" Zhao Weiguo asked worriedly.
"Dad, I'm fine, I can hold on. We don't have much food in our family. Now that we earn more work points, we can share a little more, and our family can only have one more ration."
After listening to Zhao Xiulan's words, compared with Li Lijuan, Zhao Weiguo felt that his daughter was sensible.
I used to be too negligent towards my daughter, so I need to love my daughter more in the future.
The breakfast is a thin porridge with few grains of rice, one bowl per person, plus a wowatou, and there is no reaction in the stomach.
However, in this era, materials are scarce, and there are not many people who can eat their stomachs. It's all half full, it's good to be able to pad the stomach.
After breakfast, Zhao Xiulan, like the whole village, gathered at the paddy field of the brigade, waiting for the brigade captain to dispatch the task for the day.
When everyone in the village came to work, Liu Gensheng, the team leader, took the workbook and began to distribute tasks to the people in the village.
"Qian Weihua, go and plough the land in Sunjiagou."
"Li Weihong, go and mow the grass on the fields in the east."
"Wang Chaoying, Liu Fubang, you two open the river ditch at the west end"
Everyone went to work when they got their assignment.
The tasks assigned by Liu Gensheng are based on men and women. Basically, men do some heavy physical work, such as digging canals, ploughing fields, and carrying burdens. Women do light work, mowing grass, sowing seeds, watering land.
The work is different, and the work points are also different.
In this day and age, a full day's work is ten work points. Men who do heavy work will be given a little more work points, and if they do well, they will be given ten work points.
Women do light work. Even if they do well, at most, they will get six or seven work points, seven or eight work points in a day, usually three or four work points, four or five work points.
The food that is distributed is linked to the work points. The higher the work points, the more food can be distributed. Therefore, every household is thinking that if they can get more work points and more food, they can eat more food at home.
Soon, Zhao Xiulan was also assigned a job - cutting hogweed!
Liu Gensheng knew that Zhao Xiulan fell into the water and had a fever, and looked at Zhao Xiulan's face today, and she was very weak, so she simply assigned Zhao Xiulan an easy job.
Zhao Xiulan saw that Liu Gensheng had deliberately assigned himself easy work, thanked him gratefully, and then took the farm tools, sickle and basket of the brigade, and ran to the mountain to mow hogweed.
The men who were sent to cut the hogweed, and the cattle herders, went down to the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Xiulan went up the mountain with the memory of the original owner.
Now is the era of great famine. In addition to the steelmaking in the past few years, many trees have been cut down, the hills are a little bald, and there are not many plants and trees.
