Chapter 8: Of course there are opinions!
Chapter 8 of course has opinions!
The educated youths who went to work didn’t come back until after six o’clock in the afternoon. During this period of busy farming, everyone was rushing to work more because of the cooler weather.
Shen Man washed her hair in the afternoon, because she hadn't washed her hair for a long time, it already smelled, and she couldn't bear it.
Sitting in the yard, she thought that when it snowed after a while, she would suffer from her work.
Looking at the endless mountains, this time I really entered the mountains.
Because collective households belong to the highlands, you can see a river not far away, no wonder it is called the Shangjiang Brigade, which is very close to the river.
The evening meal was cooked by Shen Man and Wang Yue. After all, they haven't worked yet, and they are tired all day, so they have to cook for them when they come back.
As for the other lesbian, Qiao Xin, she sat beside her like a young lady, without reaching out her hand at all.
Shen Man didn't care about her. Anyway, after a while, everyone ate separately, and it didn't matter to him that this person starved to death.
No one else has any opinions, and she will not say a word.
Seeing how tired they are after work, everyone knows that the work is probably very tiring.
After the meal, everyone felt heavy in their hearts. It seemed that they were all young people in their twenties, and they didn't know what they were going to face in the future.
Back in the house, Shen Man washed his feet and went to bed. It may be because there was no fire, and there was some damp in the bed that I slept this night.
The next morning, she woke up listening to the music played by the loudspeaker. She changed into the previous clothes of the original owner. There were two patches on this clothes, which were most suitable for work.
There are a few spare clothes in the space, but those clothes are not suitable for this era, so this is the only way.
Everyone also got up and washed up. Even a person like Qiao Xin has to go to work, otherwise he would go to the countryside to do something.
There are some who do not work, but that is against the regulations, and they will be sent to work in more difficult places.
Shen Man saw that the meal was ready, so he took the big teapot lunch box and went to make a bowl of porridge to drink. There is also a small pot of pickles on the table, you can get it if you want to eat.
After eating with everyone, I went to work with the sickle gloves sent by the team leader yesterday.
She saw that others were also wearing gloves, so it was probably issued by the team.
Because he was afraid of being exposed to the sun, Shen Man wore a light green cotton scarf.
"Just follow us. Someone will divide the work when we get to the field." Chen Zhipeng greeted and left without saying a word.
Looking at the yellow and orange fields of corn not far away, Shen Man knew that today was the day to peel the corn.
This work is not tiring, it is just cutting corn leaves. Generally, **** men cut corn stalks, and their lesbians just pick corn behind.
"Here we come." Zhang Fenghai saw that everyone had arrived, and said, "What you did yesterday is still the same today. The new educated youth go to the back to pick corn, and the **** men are the same."
"You get to know each other first, and then divide the work in two days."
Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a large pile of stored corn, and many people from the Shangjiang Brigade were working.
Shen Man didn't talk nonsense, walked straight over, and followed everyone to peel the corn from the head.
She is not unfamiliar with this job. She used to help others when she was a voluntary laborer. It was a bit unfamiliar at first, but there is no technical content in peeling corn.
It was slow at the beginning, and then it was fast.
"Oh, it's the first time I've seen such a nimble educated youth!" A woman next to her looked at her and couldn't help sighing.
Hearing this, Shen Man looked back at her, then smiled politely, and continued to work.
Others have also noticed her side, Qiao Xin is picking up the corn slowly, eyes rolling.
"What's the smelly show off! What's the matter with peeling corn. Hmph..." That's exactly what she thought.
If you know how to peel corn, stay in the countryside!
Zhang Fenghai stood on the ground and loaded the corn on the tractor. Seeing that Shen Man was at the same speed as the rest of the team, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Finally there are educated youths who are willing to integrate here. Those old educated youths have been here for three to five years, and they have not seen their work actively.
Autumn is the harvest season, not only the Shangjiang Brigade is busy here, but other brigades are also busy.
Comrade Shen Man, who had been busy all day, finally waited until dark. Her hands were sore from peeling the corn all day, and her knees were cold when she knelt on the ground.
She tried many methods, but sitting and squatting were not suitable. She sat on the ground to cool off, and her legs became more tired after squatting. In the end, she could only kneel on the ground.
Everyone got off work before it was dark. There were several scorekeepers in a team, and everyone counted the work points for today's work.
"Shen Man has eight work points."
"what?!"
Those who exclaimed were from their educated youth side, and none of the locals from the Shangjiang Brigade made a sound.
"What?" The scorekeeper was a **** male in his late teens, looked at them and said, "What's your opinion?"
"Of course I have an opinion!" Qiao Xin stood up and said, "We all do the same job. Why do we each have six work points, but she has eight work points?"
In fact, they are newcomers, and all the old educated youths have eight work points. It's just that everyone's scorekeeper is different, so I didn't hear it.
The scorekeeper sneered, "How much work can you do? Everyone has seen the speed and quantity of Comrade Shen Man's work. The work you do is not as good as a ten-year-old child."
It's not that he deliberately targeted Qiao Xin, but that this person really didn't do much work.
The captain gave them care to score six points now, otherwise two points would be too much.
"How do you talk!" Qiao Xin became angry when she heard the scorekeeper's words.
Xu Jie on the side hurriedly grabbed her, "Xinxin, don't do this, this is not in my hometown."
His meaning is obvious, and others have the final say on their territory.
Hearing that Qiao Xin couldn't do anything even if she got angry again, she turned her head and left.
After the scorekeeper recorded the score, Shen Man went back with everyone.
At the collective household, everyone cooks together in the evening.
Shen Man helped peel the potatoes, and then cut them into pieces, and the rest was done by division of labor.
This is how you eat with a partner, what do you think about waiting to eat ready-made ones?
Qiao Xin on the side yelled about being tired, but no one paid any attention to her. In the end, she was so hungry that she could only pick beans honestly.
Dinner is still stewed potatoes with corn noodles, beans, and beans. These are vegetables in the garden, and I don’t want to eat them in winter.
After dinner, everyone went back to their respective houses, while the old educated youths gathered together, not knowing what to do, and closed the door.
"Is this still a distribution?" Li Tianbao sat in the yard washing his face, and couldn't help expressing his feelings.
Wang Yue said: "Is this abnormal? We are not familiar with each other, and there is no way to reject our newcomers."
She said and looked towards Qiao Xin's room, where Xu Jie was also there, but the two of them didn't close the door, fearing that it would affect badly.
Everyone knows that they are together, and it is normal to talk together, and no one will meddle in their own business.
It is really not easy to have people you know to help each other here, it is better than being alone.
