Chapter 1267: Going to the Countryside 8
Wang Zhengguo would not be merciful to these educated youth. He would teach them what they should teach and make them do what they should do. They would start with the light work. If they did not know how to cook on a clay stove, the older educated youth would teach them. The older educated youth were also taught by Wang Zhengguo. Whether the meals they cooked were delicious or not was up to them.
The arrival of the educated youth brought a considerable burden to the Wanglou Brigade. The first thing they had to do was to build houses for them, and then they had to distribute food rations to them. The more they were given, the less was left for their own brigade.
Therefore, many fellow villagers were unhappy and felt that Wang Zhengguo was right.
The attitude towards the old people who were sent down to the countryside was completely different from that towards the educated youth. First, they were old, and their work points and food rations were reduced by half. Second, they were all important figures in the past, and everyone was in awe of them. Who knew if they would make a comeback? Especially the old revolutionaries who had fought in the war. Which of the villagers would not be grateful to the heroes of the War of Resistance?
The four elders who lived in the cowshed often received private gifts from fellow villagers, and everyone also did not allow the ignorant children in their families to be disrespectful to them, saying that if they had not fought, there would be no peace today.
This resulted in the Wanglou Brigade having completely different attitudes towards the educated youth and the sent-down elderly.
Those who do the job well get high work points, while those who do the job poorly get low work points.
Wang Dachun glanced at them and took out his booklet. "Today is your first time working, but I've recorded your work points. Xing Yushan did the best job, so he got seven points. Zhou Zhou got six points. Jie Hong got six points. Zheng Huihui, Wang Huan, and Liang Guodong all got four points. Mo Bai got two points."

Xing Yushan is capable, Zhou Zhou is serious and obedient, and Jie Hong is full of energy, even though she has argued with Wang Zhengguo.
Although Liang Guodong and Mo Bai are both young men, they do not work as well as Zhou Zhou and Jie Hong, especially Mo Bai. The time he spends working is far less than the time he spends resting, and he is the one who complains the most.
Zheng Huihui and Wang Huan came up to him and asked, "Captain, how many work points can we get?"
"How come we only get four work points? How much are four work points worth?" Zheng Huihui and Wang Huan were very dissatisfied. Wang Huan continued, "Zhou Zhou looks even thinner than us. She can be blown down by a gust of wind. How can she do more work than us?"
When they got off work in the evening, Wang Dachun told them directly, very bluntly: "After autumn, food will be distributed according to work points. After deducting various expenses, those with high work points may have a small surplus. Those with few work points will become the households with a loss, which will be embarrassing!"
"Yes!" Wang Dachun nodded decisively. "Although Zhou Zhou works slower than you, she is very serious. She doesn't work for a while and then take a break like you do. In the end, you didn't do as much work as Zhou Zhou, and you are even less capable than Xing Yushan. Mo Bai, today is your first day of work, so I won't say much. Go back and think about it carefully."
A little girl passing by them laughed and said, "I can earn three work points by picking grass for pigs!"
"Cutting grass for pigs?" Xing Yushan's eyes lit up, and so did Zhou Zhou. They all humbly asked Wang Dachun for advice.
This is the right attitude! Wang Dachun expressed satisfaction and said patiently: "Five catties of pig grass equal one work point. Many children who cannot do farm work will choose to use this method to earn work points, because our brigade has cattle, sheep, mules, horses and pigs, and they all need to eat grass."
