Li Lin squatted and slowly weeded while thinking to himself, it seems that I have to think about whether there is any other farm work to do, otherwise when will this tiring and sun-burning work end?
As I was thinking this, I suddenly saw a few children walking with difficulty not far away, carrying baskets on their backs.
This made her curious and she looked at Lin Meina and asked, "Sister Meina, what are those children carrying in their backpacks? They look very heavy."
"Oh, it's pig grass. The brigade has a few pigs on duty, but the work points for pig grass are low, so no adult wants to do it. But children can do it. Not only is it not tiring, but the work points earned can also supplement the family income." Lin Meina heard this, looked up, and saw that it was a child picking pig grass, so she explained.
When Li Lin heard about such a good opportunity, his eyes immediately turned and he thought to himself that he would go to the team leader later to see if he could go and collect grass for the pigs.
She is not afraid of low work points, as long as the work is easy.
"Li Zhiqing, let me tell you, the work points earned from picking grass for pigs are too few. By the end of the year, I'm afraid you won't even get a few kilograms of food." Seeing Li Lin's eyes moving around, Lin Meina knew that she wanted to pick grass for pigs.
This situation is exactly the same as it was in the beginning. The work became easier later, but when the food was distributed, only a few pounds were given.
She said nonchalantly, I have money and tickets, I can buy it.
But in this remote and poor place, the food distributed to each family was barely enough to fill their stomachs, so no one sold it to her.
Later, she took a risk and went to the black market to buy food for the winter at a high price.
The next year, she went to work obediently, and even though the farm work was tiring, she persevered and persisted.
Now seeing Li Lin like this, she kindly gave her a reminder. As for whether the other person would listen to her or not, that was their business. Anyway, she had kindly given her a reminder.
"I'll go ask first. I'm not sure if it will work." Li Lin waved her hand nonchalantly.
Seeing her like this, Lin Meina stopped trying to persuade her. She lowered her head and began to concentrate on her work.
Hu Yingying heard the conversation between the two and just looked up at Li Lin, then pretended she heard nothing and continued working slowly.
The two of them were doing quite well here, but Liu Lan on the other side was not doing so well.
Although she had done some work at home, those were all housework and could not be compared with working in the fields.
Look, he hadn't been squatting on the ground for long when he started complaining: "When will this work be over? My legs are numb and my hands are in a mess.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand for Zhao Li next to him to see.
"Don't complain. We all learned from you little by little. We'll get used to it slowly." Zhao Li heard this and just casually looked up and lowered her head.
"Yeah, if you complain about doing this little work, won't you cry when the busy farming season comes?"
Li Dilai took over the conversation, but seeing the two new female educated youths across the street doing their jobs well, she pouted and said, "Look at the people who came with you. Not only are they doing a good job, they haven't complained either. Look at yourself."
When Liu Lan heard this, she turned around and took a look, then said angrily: "I think they are just pretending. If you don't believe me, just wait and see how long they can pretend."
But everyone was busy working to earn work points, so they didn't have time to watch others work. So they pretended not to hear Liu Lan's words and continued to do their own work.
