"I can't even stop your mouths when I'm eating. If you think the food is not tasty, don't eat it!" Li Fuman's face darkened and he glared at Li Ailan.
Li Ailan pouted and complained to several other elders in the family in front of Li Fuman with an unhappy face.
"Grandma, Dad, Aunt Zhang, am I wrong? These days are so difficult, who can eat without working? Grandpa, I'm not saying you're too partial. We are your grandchildren, and this guy is just a burden."
"Shut up!" Li Fuman knocked the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table, and the table made a dull sound of "clang".
Li Ailan was so scared that her whole body trembled and tears came out.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiulan quickly comforted Li Ailan, "Ailan, it's Jinfeng's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. Don't be angry. Next time... next time I will let her do more work and earn work points."
Wang Guixi, Li Ailan's grandmother, saw her granddaughter crying because of Li Jinfeng and quickly said, "Ailan is right. It's true that no one in a family doesn't work and still eats and drinks for free! Jinfeng, if you don't have anything to do, go to work today!"
"Nonsense, how can Jinfeng do any work when she's injured like this? Li Ailan, stop talking nonsense here. If you continue to sow discord, I'll talk to the captain and assign you the dirtiest and most tiring work." Li Fuman roared.
He is the head of this family and his words carry some weight.
At least after he yelled, Li Ailan didn't dare to say anything, and even her crying became much quieter.
Li Jinfeng quietly drank the porridge and ate the cornmeal. Although she was not full yet, she had enough energy to hold on until she could find a place where no one was around and secretly eat something to fill her stomach.
Wiping her mouth, Li Jinfeng spoke slowly, "Master, I can go to work, but I can't do any heavy work, so the work points I earn may not be as many as Sister Ailan's from tending the cattle on the team."
"Hmph, her job of tending the cows is the easiest in the entire production team, and it pays the fewest work points. Even digging cow dung would earn her more points. You don't have to be upset with her."
Li Fuman ruthlessly exposed Li Ailan.
Speaking of which, the job of looking after the cows was originally Li Jinfeng's, but Li Ailan felt it was easy and insisted on taking the job. For so long, she has been the one feeding the cows every day.
It is easy, but as Li Fuman said, the work points are few, not even enough to buy a steamed bun at the end of the day.
Li Ailan's face turned red instantly. She wanted to argue with Li Jinfeng, but because Li Fuman was present, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
After finally finishing the meal, the whole family had to gather under the big locust tree in the village and wait for the team leader to assign tasks for the day.
At this moment, production team leader Zhao Zhongxing was already there with his work points book.
After a while, the villagers came one after another. After everyone gathered, he began to assign tasks one by one.
"Zhang Weidong, you plow the land in Zhangjiagou. Huang Aihua will help you and lead the livestock."
"Sun Yuejin, you pick the rice from the three mu of land on the slope. Zhou Tiesheng, you go..."
Following the captain Zhao Zhongxing's order, many people soon received their tasks.
Those who received the task went to work happily, and those who did not receive the task continued to wait under the big locust tree.
Li Jinfeng noticed that the tasks assigned by Zhao Zhongxing were different for almost everyone. Some people had to harvest rice, some had to plow the fields, lead the animals, sow seeds, water the fields, cut grass, and carry loads.
But basically, everything is done according to each person's strength. Men carry loads and plow the fields, while women harvest rice, weed, and plant rice seedlings.
