As she left the room, Grandma Ma reminded her to come to the main room for lunch after she finished packing. Today was the first day the two of them had met, so let's make it a good start. She was going to make Lu Qingyan her best dish: scallion and egg stir-fry.
Lu Qingyan smiled and agreed.
Although it's winter now and there's no farm work to do, it's not like there's absolutely nothing to do.
These people can go to the mountains to chop firewood and hunt, which can also be counted as work points.
Lu Qingyan was skilled in martial arts, so she was like a fish in water on the mountain. Every time she went in, she could bring back a lot of good stuff, such as a few rabbits, a few pheasants, and even once, she caught a wild boar!
The people of Green Water Village were overjoyed. They hadn't even gotten a single bite of the pigs they raised, so how could they not be happy to have this ready-made meat?
Liu Yi was extremely jealous. Lu Mian was clearly a woman just like herself, and she didn't believe that women could be that capable. As for pheasants, rabbits, and wild boars, she was sure that someone was helping her behind the scenes.
Zhao Guoan was surprised. He had never heard of Lu Mian having any great abilities. Could it be that she didn't have the opportunity to work at that time, so her talent was not displayed?
For these villagers, nothing was more important than eating meat. Lu Qingyan gained considerable goodwill through her prey.
Regardless of what others thought, Lu Qingyan lived her life at a leisurely pace, and got along very well with Grandma Ma.
Time passed day by day, and spring arrived; it was time to get to work.
"Captain Guo, what should we do with these four new educated youths?"
The villagers' daily tasks are assigned by the production team leader. Although each task is assigned different work points based on its difficulty, which seems fair, there are actually many hidden tricks involved.
In the fields, women could earn a maximum of ten work points a day, while men could earn fifteen. Digging ditches and carrying manure earned one more work point than farming, but it was extremely filthy. Many people were unwilling to do such smelly and dirty work for that extra work point.
In contrast, there are some lighter jobs in the team, such as cutting pig feed to feed the team's pigs and sheep, or herding sheep. These jobs are worth about seven work points, which is not high, but many women in the village are eager to do them. These jobs can also be assigned to half-grown children, who are worth five work points a day.
Women scramble for these jobs because they are not only easy, but also don't require them to stay outside all day. They have a lot of flexible time and can go home to do some housework. Compared to the extra centimeter, the value they can create for their families is actually greater. As long as a family has enough labor and doesn't need a woman to earn this work point, they will try every means to ask Captain Guo to intercede and arrange for their women to do this kind of work.
In any case, this job will definitely not fall to the educated youth.
"Are they strong?" Captain Guo sized up the four men. Zhao Guoan looked tall and strong, even stronger than his two sons, so he must be quite strong. The other three men, the one wearing glasses, looked weak, and the other two were girls. What could they possibly do?
"Big." This time, Lu Qingyan was the first to speak, causing everyone to look at her.
Captain Guo's face darkened: "Lu Zhiqing, don't cause trouble here."
