Mother Gu and sister-in-law Gu were also assigned to pick soybeans.

Li Qingyun went with them to get the farm tools and went to work in the fields.

The work of pulling soybeans and breaking corn is recorded by quantity, and the work points earned are determined according to the quota of work completed by the members.

The soybean field is divided into small plots. After pulling out a small plot, the scorer will inspect and accept it and count it as one work point. A woman will get eight work points, which means that after pulling out the soybeans in eight plots, she will no longer be scored on the same day. However, there are very few people who can finish so much work in one day.

The scorers would also check whether the members were cheating or trying to break into the socialist corner by deliberately shaking the beans on the ground and then secretly picking them up to eat at home. If this happened, the work would be in vain and no work points would be given, so everyone worked honestly.

It is not enough to just pull them out, they have to be neatly tied into a wooden cart or backpack to make it easier for people to pull them away.

Work points for corn are calculated based on the area of ​​corn that is broken, and it is not an easy job. After working in the cornfield for a whole day, your whole body will feel itchy and it is easy to cut your skin.

A man’s full work points per day are ten work points, and few people can earn ten work points in a day. Young and strong men can earn more full work points, while the elderly may just take care of their fathers.

He is a carpenter, a special craftsman. He has been asked to do several jobs this month. It is almost the end of the year and many people are getting married, so he needs to make furniture and kang cabinets.

He had specially set aside the two days to make the trip. The next day after that, he went out to make furniture for someone else. It was estimated that he would be busy until the end of the year.

Brother Gu went with them for two days and helped with most of the work. It was almost finished and Father Gu could handle it alone, so Brother Gu came back first to busy himself with the autumn harvest. Their family couldn't have no man away.

Although the sun is not shining, it is still very tiring to keep bending over to pick soybeans.

After finally weeding out a piece of land, Li Qingyun felt that her back could hardly straighten up.

Looking again, Gu's mother and sister-in-law had already plowed half of the second plot of land, and Qinghuan had also plowed almost half of the second plot of land. She was the slowest one and had just finished one plot of land.

The scorer even came over to remind her to pull it out properly and not to slack off, but after watching her for a long time, she was indeed trying hard to pull it out, but it was still very slow, so he could only shake his head and leave.

The daughter-in-law of Tingzhou's family is really slow in doing things. She doesn't have the efficiency of a rural woman at all.

Li Qingyun has tried very hard, but she just can't keep up with the speed of those who are used to doing it. She doesn't make it hard on herself and just tries her best.

At noon, every household took out the food they had prepared, took a break for a while and then continued to work.

Li Qingyun took out the scallion pancakes she had made in the morning from the basket she brought with her, and put some of her own hazel mushroom meat sauce in it.

Using the water in the kettle, Gu Tingzhou made ten pancakes, and she and Qinghuan each ate five pancakes.

Most of the people living nearby brought multi-grain steamed buns. The better ones brought steamed buns made of two or three grams of flour, or multi-grain pancakes with boiled water. Some also brought green onions with dipping sauce and the like.

The food at Li Qingyun's house didn't look too special. No one could see the meat sauce inside the pancakes, so there was nothing special about it.

There were also some nosy aunties who secretly said that Li Qingyun was very creative and was so meticulous in her work, but they only dared to say it in private.

People like Liu Cuihua whispered and definitely didn't say anything good behind her back, but Li Qingyun didn't care.

Li Qingyun also saw the two children of Widow Wang in the crowd. They looked to be in good spirits, sitting on the ground and chewing on cold multi-grain pancakes.

This time, the team leader also asked them to work together, and how many work points they could earn depended on their abilities.

In this era, it is actually very difficult to starve to death in the north as long as you are willing to work.

Erniu also followed Gu Tingzhou and the others to break corn and earn work points this time. He looked much stronger recently, much better than the first time I saw him.

After eating, we rested for a while and then started working again.

"Wife, are you still okay? If not, don't do it anymore. Go back and rest early." Gu Tingzhou checked her hands. Fortunately, she was wearing gloves. She had been pulling soybeans all morning. Although her hands were a little red, fortunately there were no blisters.

"It's okay, I'm fine. I work slowly and I'm not too tired. You go and do your work first." Li Qingyun waved at him.

"Then you should go home early from work and don't overwork yourself." Gu Tingzhou's words made the young girls and wives in the village extremely envious.

They all vied with each other to make jokes and imitate his words.

Gu Laoer is not at home all year round, but I didn't expect that he loves his wife so much. Which man is not afraid that the woman at home does not do enough, works slowly, and earns fewer work points? There are many men who quarrel and fight over these trivial matters.

Gu Laoer was afraid that his wife would be tired from doing too much, and he really treated her like a spoiled brat, which was really unbearable to watch.

Some people say that this is the good family tradition of the branch secretary's family. Father Gu is also very caring. When he was young, he and Mother Gu were a couple that were envied by the villagers.

The men in the Gu family really don't beat or scold their wives. Even when the original body did that before, Gu Tingzhou never touched her.

Mrs. Gu would have a nervous breakdown from time to time, and Brother Gu would just protect her in front of others and educate her behind their backs.

When Mother Gu saw what was happening here, she looked dismayed. The second son became even closer to his wife this time, like one person, and their eyes were so charming that you could even see silk threads in them.

Don't let the second child leave and she will be pregnant again. There is already a younger one at home. But she changed her mind and thought that more children means more blessings. If things don't work out, she will help take care of the baby. She will ask the second child to give some living expenses as a token of appreciation, so as not to make the eldest family unhappy.

Speaking of which, the two daughters of the eldest family took care of the children more themselves, but the second daughter's family was separated as soon as she got pregnant, and then there were all kinds of troubles. She took less care of her two grandsons and only served them for a whole month during the confinement period.
