"Well, Lin Zhiqing, is this wooden box made in your village?" Lin Weiwan asked Lin Huahua directly.

"Yes, there is a carpenter named Li in the village. He is the last one you visit when you walk north from the Youth League Center. There are two wooden gourds hanging on the door. It is easy to find."

Lin Huahua looked at Lin Weiwan with a smile, and Lin Weiwan's face was spinning under her gaze. She was so beautiful. If she looked like this, Zheng Zhiqing would definitely like her.

Thinking of this, his face changed slightly, and he asked Lin Weiwan tentatively, "Xiao Lin, you are so pretty, do you have a date?"

Wu Xiaoqiao had been listening to the conversation between the two, pouting her lips and listening attentively with her ears perked up.

"No, I'm seventeen years old and I'm anxious to find a partner. Where's Lin Zhiqing?"

Lin Weiwan looked at Lin Huahua, who lowered her head shyly, and guessed that she had someone she liked.

“Not yet.” Lin Huahua thought about how she was rejected by Zheng Zhiqing for the first time, and her face turned ugly again.

Lin Weiwan looked around the whole room. The earthen walls were covered with discarded newspapers, and wooden boxes were placed side by side, with two wooden stools underneath.

Directly opposite are two water jars, two earthenware jars, two thermoses and two enamel basins containing toiletries.

"That box was left behind by the educated youth who left a while ago. We are sharing it now. The left side is for food. You can mark your own food and put it in. Here are three keys for the door."

Lin Huahua wiped her feet, went downstairs and took out three keys from the box and handed them to the three people.

"Every morning is seven o'clock. You have a rest tomorrow and can get up at any time. Breakfast will be made by you and Wu Zhiqing. We will leave your breakfast for you. We will work together the day after tomorrow. You must prepare everything tomorrow."

Lin Huahua felt that she was a few years older after all. Although the new educated youth Lin was too pretty and made her feel a sense of crisis, she still explained the matter briefly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, you are so nice." Lin Weiwan gave a good guy card to the cheerful and generous Lin Huahua.

"Then Lin Zhiqing, how are the points calculated here? Can we ask for leave on weekdays?"

Lin Weiwan continued to ask, and Wang Qiaoyun and Du Shanshan also stopped what they were doing and listened.

"In Dongsheng Village, a full month is now calculated as 25 days. Based on the 25-day rule, if you take one day off, you will be deducted one point. If you take one more day off, you will be given one extra point.

We will take breaks on rainy days and special weather conditions, and you will also get points counted and deducted.

As an advanced brigade, Dongsheng Village had standards for the educated youth's 꺠 points. Female educated youth had to get at least six 꺠 points a day, and male educated youth had to guarantee at least eight 꺠 points.

During the busy farming season, the female educated youth's full day was calculated as 10 points, and during the slack farming season, it was calculated as 8 points.

A while ago, there was an educated youth who was lazy and ate a lot. In the end, the points he earned were not enough to support himself, so he was sent back by the brigade.

The production team will evaluate each worker and divide them into four levels. The first-level worker will get full points, the second-level worker will get one less point, and so on. The village will conduct an evaluation every quarter.

One cent is one cent, and after the autumn harvest every year, the grain and vegetable distribution and the advance payment for the change of seasons are deducted, and the rest is given directly in cash."

He said, "Look here and take a look at the three new educated youths who have just arrived."

"If you get more points at the end because of illness or injury, you may still owe the commune money at the end of the year, and you will have to pay for it when the time comes."

The three of them felt heavy in their hearts when they heard Lin Huahua's words, facing an unknown environment and strong labor.

"Lin Zhiqing, I'm going to the city tomorrow to buy some daily necessities and pick up a package. Does our village have a bullock cart to take us there, or do we have to walk to the city on our own?"

Lin Weiwan thought that the first two packages sent from her must have been delivered long ago.

"Tomorrow is the 30th, an even-numbered day. Ox carts will come into town. They will leave at 7am and will be gone in the evening. The location of the ox carts is known."

Lin Huahua calculated it and said.

"Du Zhiqing, are you going to the city tomorrow?" Lin Weiwan asked Du Shanshan.

"Yes, I also need to buy some daily necessities. I don't bring enough with me."

Du Shanshan agreed immediately upon hearing this. She only had two yuan in her hand and a small supermarket that was only a few meters high, without even an enamel basin. She had to find a way to go to the city.

See if there is a black market like the ones described in the novels, and try to sell some of the rice and flour in the supermarket for money.

"Then let's get up early tomorrow and go make the ox carts early." After Lin Weiwan finished speaking, several people had already fallen down to rest.

Wang Qiaoyun looked at Lin Weiwan and Du Shanshan with an unpleasant expression as they made an appointment to go out, leaving herself alone.

Lin Weiwan and Du Shanshan were both educated youth sent to the countryside in the same way.

The next day, Lin got up early, dressed and washed his face, and came out with a kettle on his shoulder, just in time to see the old educated youth getting ready to eat.

Lin Weiwan took out her lunch box and filled it with some corn paste that looked nice and thin, and two cornmeal balls that were only the size of her fist.

Sitting quietly aside and eating, Du Shanshan didn't know what to think.

Wang Qiaoyun frowned, her eyes swept over the male educated youth, and then glanced at the food on the female educated youth's side.

Seeing Lin Weiwan and Du Shanshan eating with their heads down, his brows furrowed even deeper and his face turned ugly.

Zhou Rongrong and a few others also came out of the house and ate breakfast.

Cui Hongying's expression also looked much uglier as she held the porridge and two corn cobs in her lunch box.

"Lin Zhiqing, come back for lunch today. Lunch will be for you." After Lin Weiwan finished his breakfast, he said hello to Du Shanshan and left quickly.

Walking to the entrance of the village, I saw the old man from yesterday driving a bullock cart to the entrance of the village.

"Good morning, Uncle Chen. We are going to the city." Lin Weiwan saw that there were already four aunts and a girl from the village sitting on the ox cart, and they quickly pulled Du Shanshan's ox cart.

"Three cents a trip, one cent for the round trip." Chen Dasheng held a piece of grass in the corner of his mouth.

Lin Weiwan took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Chen Dasheng.

Du Shanshan glanced at Lin Weiwan, and when she saw Lin Weiwan taking out some money and handing it to Chen Dasheng, she couldn't help pouting and took out a dime from her shabby bag and gave it to him.

Chen Dasheng directly gave Lin Weiwan's share of the money to Du Shanshan.

Cui Hongying and a few others were walking in the distance. They saw Lin Weiwan and his companions already sitting on the ox cart, so they rushed over and climbed up.

"Hey... there's still room for three people, don't crowd in." Chen Dasheng frowned again as he looked at the new male and female educated youth.

Cui Hongying sat down opposite Lin Weiwan, while Wang Qiaoyun, Zhou Rongrong and Wang Ping were blocking the seat, and no one wanted to give way.

Zhou Weinan, Shen Shili, Hu Jinbao and Shen Minghua, as male educated youth, did not squeeze into the oxcart with women.

"Uncle Chen, can you pull one more?" Wang Ping asked Chen Dasheng.
