The other team members were still working hard, far behind Jiang Yunshu. Even Tian Cuihua, who was one of the best workers in the team, was left behind by her.
The team members' stereotypes about educated youth, especially female educated youth, were broken when they met Jiang Yunshu.
Those who had sons who were not married yet looked at Jiang Yunshu lying on the ground with fiery eyes. She had money and could work. It was really hard to find such a daughter-in-law at that time.
After working on the farm for a day, Jiang Yunshu was remembered by the team members.
Before the sun set, Du Dafa, who was in charge of recording work points, arrived. The team members gathered around him to watch him record the work points.
There are several ways to assess work points, including fixed points, active points, and active points. Land reclamation belongs to the latter, which is a type of active points. This is done to prevent team members from being lazy and to increase their enthusiasm for work.
Whoever works more and better will get the highest work points.
The other members of Jiang Yunshu's group each scored seven or eight work points, Tian Cuihua and Jiang Yunshu each scored nine work points, and Lin Tiezhu and the other two male team members each scored ten work points.
Nine work points was the highest number of work points a woman could earn in a day, but Jiang Yunshu, who was working on her first day, didn't know this. When she looked at the number nine in the column next to her name, her brows furrowed.
Jiang Yunshu knew Lin Tiezhu. When they were clearing the land and weeding, he was working on the field next to hers. Although he worked very fast and hard, he was not as fast as her.
Then why does she only get nine work points, while Lin Tiezhu and the two men who are not as good as her only get ten work points?
Although Jiang Yunshu, who has plenty of food in the space, does not rely on work points to support herself, some things belong to her and cannot be easily tampered with or taken away by others.
Otherwise, others would think she was easy to bully, and if this happened once, it would happen again and again.
Just when Du Dafa finished recording his work points and was about to leave, Jiang Yunshu stopped him.
The team members who were about to go home after finishing their work, after seeing Jiang Yunshu's serious little face, had a hunch that something was going to happen, so they all stayed to watch the show.
Du Dafa had a very good impression of Jiang Yunshu. This young woman from the city was not spoiled and worked better than others. With a big white tooth showing on her tanned face, she said with a smile:
"Jiang Zhiqing, is there something wrong?"
Jiang Yunshu ignored everyone's stares and said, "Scorer Du, this is my first day on the job. Is there anything I did wrong?"
Du Dafa was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Jiang Zhiqing, you did a great job. Even the team leader praised you for your ability."
With Du Dafa's affirmation, Jiang Yunshu was able to continue. He said, "Since I'm so good at acting, why do I only get nine work points while others get ten?"
"This..." Du Dafa hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Work points are determined by everyone. There is a huge difference in physical strength between men and women. Female team members are definitely not as good as male team members in terms of work. However, female team members can earn up to nine work points a day. Jiang Zhiqing, you got the highest work point today."
The word "not as good as" was particularly harsh. Jiang Yunshu's slightly furrowed brows could have pinched a fly to death. She hated being derogatory and compared the most.
They all have one nose and two eyes, so why should men with extra stripes down there be more noble than women?
She was not convinced.
Jiang Yun calmed down before speaking, "Scorer Du, your statement is wrong. Leaders always say that women hold up half the sky, so why do you still discriminate against women? Are all the leaders wrong?"
Du Dawei, who was of good family background, quickly shook his head: "The leader is right."
"If that's right, why treat us differently? How are we women inferior to men? I demand fair treatment."
As soon as these words were spoken, the female team members present were all excited. In terms of work, they were no worse than men, but the work points they received were much less than those of men, and they had no status at home.
For example, before the spring sowing begins every year, manure needs to be applied to the fields. The women load the manure, and the men carry and distribute it. The men can earn ten work points a day, while the women can only get seven work points at most.
Any work that men can do, women can do too.
Just when Du Dafa was racking his brains over how to resolve the issue, Tian Cuihua stepped forward to support Jiang Yunshu: "I think Jiang Zhiqing is right. I work hard every day and can barely get nine work points.
Wang Fugui, a lazy guy who does nothing all day and only moves a little, can get three or four work points. If that's the case, what's the point of us working? We might as well go home and mend shoe soles and take care of the kids."
Speaking of Wang Fugui, the team members haven't seen him in the team for a long time. Maybe he is sleeping in the arms of a widow at this moment.
The old bachelor Wang Fugui cannot live without women in his life. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't lie on a woman for a day.
However, what everyone was discussing now was the fairness of work points. Wang Fugui was just a small episode and was quickly exposed. The female team members who felt it was unfair stood up one by one to support Jiang Yunshu.
In the past, they also knew that this was unfair, but they didn't dare to do so for fear of becoming troublemakers. Since no one said anything, they pretended not to know.
But things are different now. Some people have pointed out that if they don't do something, things will become more and more unfair in the future.
They work hard, getting up early to go to work, and only pack up and go back when the sun is about to set, all for a few work points.
Work points are food and also their lives. It concerns their own vital interests. The female team members became more and more excited as they spoke, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market in the early morning.
One sound followed another, one wave higher than the other. Du Da, who was trapped in the middle of the crowd, pulled his hair in worry.
