The work was assigned quickly, and soon it was Li Jinfeng's turn.
Zhao Zhongxing saw that she had a scar on her forehead, and Li Fuman had asked for leave from him because of this matter before, so Zhao Zhongxing thought about it again and again and decided to assign Li Jinfeng an easy job.
"Jinfeng, since you haven't been feeling well these past few days, go distribute the farm tools to everyone. Make sure to carefully register the tools you've borrowed, and remember to put them away when they're done working. If you still have the energy for other work, join the women on the team in turning and drying the rice in the threshing yard nearby. I'll give you three cents."
In this era, work is rewarded with work points.
A young, strong and hardworking man can usually earn ten work points for a full day's work.
The women got six to eight work points, but this was usually only given to the team's experts in harvesting rice or transplanting rice seedlings. Li Jinfeng got three work points, which was actually pretty good, after all, the work was not hard.
Besides, distributing tools and drying rice were easy tasks, and Li Jinfeng also knew that one should be content with what one has, so she did not make any demands or express any dissatisfaction.
What's more, her three work points are much better than Li Ailan's work of looking after cows every day, which only earns 1.5 points a day.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll go right away!"
The people in the production team were all from the same village. They had known each other for more than ten or twenty years and knew each other well.
Although Li Jinfeng followed Zhang Xiu Lan and remarried in recent years, she worked diligently in the past seven years without being lazy for a single day. She was also polite to others in her daily life. Zhao Zhongxing had a good impression of her, so he was relieved to hand over the key to the warehouse to Li Jinfeng.
After assigning Li Jinfeng's tasks, there weren't many tasks left for the others. Everyone went to get tools or to go to the fields.
When Li Jinfeng arrived at the warehouse, many people were already standing there waiting to be assigned tools.
Li Jinfeng also saw Li Dahu, the eldest son of the Li family, Li Dahe, the second son of the Li family, and Li Aiju, who had always been at odds with her.
Li Aiju also saw Li Jinfeng, and her eyes immediately bulged out, with an expression of disgust on her face, not concealed at all.
If she remembered correctly, the tasks assigned to Li Dahu and Li Dahe were plowing the fields and tending cattle respectively, while Li Aiju's task was to harvest rice.
A plow is needed to plow the fields, and a sickle or a machete is needed to harvest rice. However, during the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production in recent years, basically every household has no iron tools except for the iron pots used for cooking.
These farm tools were also purchased at great expense by the production team from the agricultural machinery station in the county. They were old and many of them were no longer usable.
Li Jinfeng opened the door of the warehouse and everyone lined up consciously.
Collect small items first, then large items. When borrowing farm tools, you must remember clearly whether they are good or bad, new or old.
Of course, there is a limited amount of agricultural tools. Once those at the front of the line have received them all, those at the back may not have any left.
Even so, they cannot rest. Even if they have to pull with their hands, they must finish the work assigned today, otherwise they will not earn any work points, and then the production team will give that family less food rations.
The small farm tools were distributed quickly, and soon they reached Li Aiju.
Everything was fine when it came to other people, but Li Aiju just didn't like Li Jinfeng and was always looking for trouble.
Pointing at the farm tools Li Jinfeng had brought out, he said with disdain, "How can you use such a blunt sickle? The handle is even broken. Li Jinfeng, are you deliberately being mean to your comrades to delay our progress in harvesting the grain?"
