The team leader rode his bicycle back to the village with a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
The people who were leaving work were originally laughing, but now when they saw the team leader, they consciously stopped smiling.
When the team leader got off the car and pushed his bicycle away, the brave ones asked what happened?
"I was called to the town commune this afternoon for a talk. They assigned two more educated youth to our village. The few educated youth already in the team were already dragging down our village's production targets, and now two more female educated youth are coming. I'm really worried!"
"What? Two female educated youth?"
"Isn't this a joke? These girls have become stupid from studying. They are so delicate and weak. If you ask them to do any work, they will be a mess!"
"That's right, the female educated youth who came here last year mistook the wheat seeds for grass and cut them. I felt so bad!"
"Can't we just quit? We can just replace them with two male educated youth."
"How can we live like this? We've finally made ends meet, and now here come two otherworldly people..."
When the villagers heard this, they all had complaints in their hearts.
The female educated youth also looked down on them as rural people, saying that everything about the rural areas was not good.
The male educated youth were at least able to do some physical work, but the female educated youth were really...
Oh, what a sin!
The team leader had no choice. The commune had issued the quota and he couldn't refuse.
Alas, it’s all because of poverty.
It’s also the fault of the female educated youth who performed poorly and always held back the production team. The villagers didn’t welcome them. Who should we blame?
No matter what, the place still needs to be cleaned up.
There is no youth housing in the village, and there is no spare money to build one.
They are all accepted by the elderly and widowed people in the village, or those who have empty rooms in their homes.
Of course, it is definitely not accepted for nothing.
Depending on the living conditions, they will be given fifty cents or one yuan per month. They can negotiate the price themselves. If it is suitable, just ask the team leader to meet them.
Food and drink are separate. If you want to eat at a fellow villager's house, you have to pay money and food, and take on the chores of fetching water and firewood.
Even teeth will clash, let alone when both parties are strangers with no relationship.
The new educated youth and the landlords of the houses they rented would have to go through some rough patches for a while before they could get used to each other.
During this period, there were a lot of jokes and troubles.
Now, he has received the notice. In a few days, the educated youth will arrive, and everyone will see what to do.
......
Jiang An and Jiang Lai also heard the news, but they didn't take it seriously and carried the things back home.
Let them come as educated youth, anyway they have the ability to support their families.
Having just heard that the third brother was back, they all quickened their pace.
My third brother went to my eldest uncle to find a job, but I don't know if he found any. I'll go home and ask...
At this time, Lin Fangfang had already prepared dinner for the family.
The dishes are still rich, but they won’t be as rich tomorrow.
But the rice, flour, oil and powder that my third brother and sister-in-law brought from home can last for a while.
Qian Duoduo fed the pigs and chickens at home.
She was very happy when she found four eggs from the chicken coop today.
You can cook boiled eggs tomorrow morning!
Suddenly someone patted her head. She subconsciously looked back to the left, but saw no one.
She was hit on the head again, which made her angry!
"Jiang Lai, you're asking for a fight!"
"Lilililil~"
The young couple were like two kids, chasing and fighting each other in the yard, not behaving properly at all.
As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, Jiang An and Lin Fangfang spoke up to persuade them appropriately.
"Hey, sister-in-law, is the third brother back?"
"I'm back. Go back to your room and change your clothes. The food is ready. You brothers should wash your hands and come to the main room to eat."
Lin Fangfang nodded and told her husband and second brother.
Then she waved to her second brother's wife, indicating that they should follow her and go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
After a while, the whole family sat at the dining table, divided the bowls and chopsticks, and started eating.
Maybe because they had some meat in their stomachs and weren't that hungry, Song Yue and Su Miantang obviously ate smaller portions than the others.
Song Yue wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly:
"We're almost done eating, let me make an announcement."
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked over.
"The third brother went to your uncle today to ask about a job. He has already found a temporary job at the food factory in town. The salary is not high, only fifteen yuan a month. After deducting the long-distance bus ride every day, he only has twelve or thirteen yuan left to put into the public account..."
Song Yue muttered to herself, labor costs are really worthless in this era!
I only make fifteen yuan a month, and regular workers only make thirty yuan.
There is no comparison with later generations, of course, the prices are also incomparable, terrible.
After hearing this, the others were very happy for the third brother.
Temporary workers are not bad either, they earn fifteen yuan a month, have rest days, and get allowances for overtime. The benefits are also pretty good, better than digging in the fields for a living.
If we divide the family business at the end of the year, the remaining six months’ wages will be confiscated.
In general, the third brother worked to support the family, and they worked in the fields and earned work points.
If the three brothers work together, life at home will definitely get better!
By the way, there is also my third brother’s wife. She is doing translation work. Once she gets royalties, she will be happy to confiscate half of it. For the next six months, this whole family will mainly rely on my third brother and his wife for support!
For a moment, both the first and second wives felt a little ashamed.
Song Yue saw it, and after thinking quickly in her mind, she said:
"The third brother and his wife will have to work hard for the next six months. The eldest and second brother's couples won't be idle either. Someone has to cook, do the housework, feed the pigs and chickens, and dig for food in the fields."
