Early the next morning, Gu Jin blew a whistle and ran to two villages. When the villagers went to the storage room to get their tools, he assigned them tasks and then went to the fields in groups of three or four.
Gu Qingqing worked with the educated youth. They turned the soil and weeded while she planted vegetable seedlings.
Today is the first day of implementing the group contracting system. The villagers' groups can go home first after finishing their work. Gu Jin and Qin Wu will patrol everywhere and lend a hand from time to time.
Gu Jin and Qin Wu were the captain and secretary of the party branch of a production team respectively. They were both cadres who had been released from production. Even though they did not participate in the production team's labor, they still received ten work points every day. At the end of the year, the grain, oil and meat coupons were distributed to the production team.
But these two people can't sit still. Every day, in addition to arranging the production tasks and formulating production plans for the production team, they go to the fields with the villagers. Although Gu Jin looks silly, he is very efficient, not to mention Qin Wu. These two people who often talk nonsense are also very efficient when they work together.
After walking around, Gu Jin rubbed his nose and said, "Mengzi, the villagers' enthusiasm and efficiency have improved, but the quality seems to be not so good."
"We all want to finish the work and go back quickly. Look at that grass, even if I lead the cow, it can chew it cleaner than him." Qin Wu frowned: "This can't continue, we have to rework."
"Gu Hanzi?" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Qin Wu turned around and nudged him with his elbow: "What are you doing? Think of a solution."
"I'm thinking..." Gu Jin slapped his hand away and said vaguely: "Let's go to the pig farm first. There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year..."
While planting vegetables, Gu Qingqing discovered that these educated youth were working much more efficiently than they had in the previous two days, and the male educated youth no longer looked listless.
"Qingqing, thank you for yesterday." Sun Yuanyuan came over to talk to her and handed her the vegetable seedlings next to her.
"I'm just telling the truth. It's not your fault and I can't blame you for it." Gu Qingqing took the seedlings and bent down to plant them. "Oh, by the way, I still have a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes at home. I can't finish them. I'll send some to you at noon."
"I don't feel comfortable with this," Sun Yuanyuan said, waving her hands in embarrassment. "We are already growing vegetables, and we also used our work points to exchange for some food from the team. Although it's borrowed, it's enough for us to eat now."
"Sister Yuanyuan, please don't refuse. There are so many of you, and the food you have won't last long. Although it's just coarse food, it's enough to fill your stomach. After the autumn plowing is over, you will have to do hard labor. How can you work if you don't eat enough?"
Gu Qingqing made the final decision: "That's it. I'll send it to you after work."
"...Okay, then I'll trouble you." Sun Yuanyuan couldn't refuse again and again. She felt more and more that the Gu family was good people, especially the captain's daughter, who was pretty and kind-hearted.
"Qingqing," Ye Zi also came over and said softly, "Zhang Qing is not being lazy on purpose. He just couldn't adapt to the new environment the past two days. He couldn't stand the climate and wanted to take a break..."
Zhang Qing was the educated youth whose hoe was kicked off by Qin Wu. After listening to Ye Zi's explanation, Gu Qingqing smiled cheerfully. He wanted to pat her shoulder to show her that everything was fine, but he looked at the dirt on his hands, stopped in mid-air, and retracted his hands.
"It's normal to feel uncomfortable at first. My family will make tofu tomorrow, and I'll send you some then. Grandma once said that if you're not used to the local climate, you can get better by eating local tofu."
"Also, if you have a headache or feel unwell in the future, go to the clinic in Dagouzi Village and take the receipt to Uncle Suanpan. The medical expenses will be reimbursed."
Uncle Abacus is the brigade accountant. He is very good at using an abacus and Murakami's accounts are never wrong after he has handled them.
"Okay, thank you, Qingqing." Ye Zi agreed repeatedly. Today, when they went to work, the villagers took the initiative to greet them. She thought it was a good sign, which meant that the villagers began to accept them.
After work at noon, Gu Qingqing and Gu Xiong picked up a basket full of sweet potatoes and potatoes and delivered it to the educated youth site. When they came back to eat, they saw Gu Jin squatting at the door with his head tilted, obviously he had encountered some trouble.
"Father?" Gu Qingqing walked over quickly: "What's the matter?"
"Nothing, it's just a matter of dividing the work into small groups. The efficiency has improved, but the quality is not good. Qingqing, do you have any other ideas?"
Gu Jin looked up at the lady hopefully.
"That's it? It's simple." Gu Qingqing sat down on the stone block next to him and said slowly, "Let me tell you..."
