After settling the issue of the private plot, Yi Qingqing felt more at ease.
[Found the check-in point for the sweet potato field in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 check-in point to check in? ]
[Found the check-in point for the sorghum field in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 check-in point to check in? 】
[Found the soybean field sign-in site in Xiangshui Village. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in? 】
[Found the sign-in location of Xiangshui Village Farmland Cluster Area. Do you want to spend 3 sign-in points to sign in? 】
Once again I hate myself for not having enough check-in points!
Yi Qingqing looked at these sign-in locations with regret. One day, she would sign in at all of them!
It doesn't take a lot of strength to turn over the sweet potato vines, but you have to be careful, and you have to bend over frequently, which can't bear the waist and back. It's usually done by women.
One person is responsible for three ridges.
Yi Qingqing sat next to Aunt Guihua. After watching her do it once, she learned it. After all, it was not a technical job.
She didn't feel tired, but she didn't try to stand out either. She just matched Aunt Guihua's speed, slightly behind her. When Aunt Guihua stretched her waist to rest, she would slow down and drink some water. When Aunt Guihua worked fast, she would move faster.
After all, her demand for work points is not that high, so it is better for her to be low-key when working.
Are you really just taking a powerful pill and working hard if you can? If you are in a group and you do much more than others, are you helping others or not?
Help me, I guess you will have to work harder in the future.
If I don't help you, you can't leave work early by yourself. That would make you hate me.
Even if she controlled herself, other team members thought she worked efficiently and admirably.
Just look at the educated youth in other teams and you will know. The recent work is not too heavy, so it’s okay for the male educated youth, but which one of the female educated youth is not lagging behind their team members?
Especially Tang Zhiqing from Team 7, who looked sickly and couldn't do his work. Every time he did it, he needed help from other men.
There is also Zhou Zhiqing from Team 8. I don’t know what’s wrong with him recently. He doesn’t do his work properly and just keeps arguing with Tang Zhiqing.
On the side of the new educated youth, Li from Team 2 and Wang from Team 5 both fell behind. Qian from Team 3 and Liu from Team 4 were not much better and both dragged down the group.
Looking at the neat and orderly progress of the women's group in Team 1, it is pleasing to the eyes and you can't tell at all that Yi Zhiqing is a new educated youth.
There is also competition between teams and groups. At the end of the year, when evaluating model workers and advanced workers, the speed and quality of work are the most important criteria for judging.
When getting off work at noon, Yi Qingqing still felt quite relaxed.
It's just that the sun is quite strong today, and it's a bit hot. Besides, it's only the beginning of summer, and it will get even hotter later. I have to ask Aunt Dongmei to buy me a straw hat.
"Oh, my waist can hardly stand up straight." Qian Lailai now feels like a dried vegetable under the sun, wilted. When he thinks about when such days will end, most of his enthusiasm for the past two days has disappeared.
Yi Qingqing sighed. Life was really hard for the educated youth who went to the countryside in that era. After finishing school, when they were teenagers, they had to leave their hometowns alone to do farm work in the countryside. But that was the way the times were and there was nothing they could do.
She could only comfort Qian Lailai and tell him to be more positive and that as long as he didn't give up on himself, things would get better one day.
Yi Qingqing and Qian Lailai parted ways at the intersection and first went to Aunt Guihua's private plot to pick a handful of leeks, a few tender cucumbers, a loofah, and a few green onions. Then they went to the village chief's house and bought a straw hat from Aunt Dongmei, and also prepared a bamboo hat and a raincoat.
I had a light lunch. I fried some scallions, had a bowl of scallion noodles, a fried egg, and ate some cut cucumbers with some sugar as fruit.
After eating, she took the hoe and went to the back of her house, planning to make a private plot of land. She cleared the weeds and dug out the boundaries with the hoe.
Section 19
I worked until the afternoon whistle blew for work, and then I went back without stopping to put things away.
"Why did you come back from outside? And you're still holding a hoe?" Qian Lailai, who hadn't recovered from a nap yet, asked her curiously.
"I took advantage of the lunch break to tidy up my private plot. I plan to open a door at the back like Xie Zhiqing did, and make a small yard to enclose the private plot. I asked Aunt Guihua this morning, and she told me to just find Uncle Yougen," Yi Qingqing said as she went back to the house to put her things away, and went out with a kettle filled with water and the soap for Aunt Guihua.
Qian Lailai hadn't come to her senses yet. What did she say? She actually worked in the morning and went to clean up her private plot during lunch break? Seeing her come out, Qian Lailai couldn't help but say, "Yi Qingqing, you are born in the Year of the Ox, you are so capable!"
Hearing this, Yun Guyuan almost couldn't help but nod his head. This girl really impressed him every time, but was she too tired? How could a girl like a delicate flower have the energy of a wild flower?
After another afternoon of hard work, Yi Qingqing has perfectly integrated into the group of aunts.
Work with them, rest on the ridges of the fields together, gossip and chat with them, and listen to them talk about the gossips of other families. Among them, the most popular gossip is about their children's marriages and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Yi Qingqing rarely commented on anything, but she listened very carefully, and from time to time she would ask what was next? What happened later? This made the speaker feel very accomplished.
Li Mengxue was also feeling very uncomfortable at this time. Her supermarket space could not help her with her work.
And she is exposed to the sun day after day, and even sunscreen can't save her skin.
After working like this for three or four years in the sun and wind, will her face still be presentable? Isn't it a waste of her body? She can be a little beauty if she dresses up!
How could she, a person who loves beauty so much, bear this?
No, I have to think of a way to find a less demanding job. The work points don’t matter, but the key is that I can’t make my face rough.
Li Mengxue thought as she moved forward, and the first thing she thought of was the primary school behind the educated youth site.
Being a teacher is the best thing because you don’t have to go to the fields except during the busy harvest season.
There are only Chinese and math teachers in the school. I wonder if we can add a foreign language teacher?
In the evening she took some things to the captain's house.
"What? A foreign language teacher? No, no, it won't work. For a farmer's kid, it's enough to recognize a few words and learn arithmetic. Why does he need to learn to speak like a foreigner? No, no, teaching in a city school? That's a city matter," Zhao Youtian waved his hands repeatedly.
Li Mengxue hit a snag, but she was still unwilling to give up. "Captain, to be honest, I feel that I am not very successful in working in the fields, and I don't want to drag down the progress of the team. I have my own way to make a living, so I don't care much about the number of centimeters, as long as the work is easier. Please."
She pushed the things in front of the captain.
Zhao Youtian shook his head. "You can't come to me for this matter. Take this thing back and go to the village head's house to find your team leader and ask her to reduce your workload. As long as you don't care about the number of work points, this matter should be accomplished."
