"Is he pushing a cart with grain? Why does he seem to be pushing a grain cart faster than others are pushing empty carts?"
"Oh my god, he is indeed a wild man who grew up in the mountains. His strength is beyond the reach of us."
"Before, everyone said he was a savage, but I didn't believe it. Today, I finally learned something new."
When everyone saw that Wang Jianguo could push a cart carrying hundreds of kilograms of grain freely, they couldn't help but sigh that savages are savages, and ordinary people simply can't do such a thing.
The big guys would not reject such a savage. After all, he could do the work of five or six ordinary people. In previous years, five or six people were responsible for pushing the grain collected by this team, and they still could not finish it. But this year, Wang Jianguo alone was not enough for him to push the grain.
Basically, not long after they were placed at the edge of the field, Wang Jianguo would carry them away and push them to the threshing ground, so they would not accumulate into piles.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and work. If you don't work well, your work points will be deducted." Team leader Fan Ming came over for inspection and saw several people here just watching Wang Jianguo work and forgetting to harvest the crops. They were caught red-handed by the team leader.
Those villagers worked very hard. Although Wang Jianguo's work looked good, it was not as good as earning work points. If any work points were deducted, they would be heartbroken. It was not worth it.
The autumn harvest campaign is an important production activity for the production team throughout the year. We cannot fail at the critical moment. I am for everyone and everyone is for me. We must have a sense of collective honor.
The big guys who reacted quickly bent down, picked up their sickles, and kept cutting crops.
Because there is a lack of machinery, and this is a mountainous area where no birds live or chickens lay eggs, large machinery cannot enter the fields, so harvesting is basically done by manpower, and the hard work is self-evident.
After a big autumn harvest, everyone is exhausted. Some people have lost a lot of weight, their hands are covered with blisters, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have back pain and leg cramps.
Huang Yuelan didn't have to work hard to earn work points, but she thought that Wang Jianguo worked very hard, so she cooked a meal at home and sent it to Wang Jianguo.
After working for a whole morning, everyone was exhausted. When the time came, the team leader blew the whistle, and the villagers put down their farm tools and found a place to rest.
If you ask who has worked the hardest this morning and who has worked the most diligently, everyone will choose Wang Jianguo without objection.
They pushed the grain back and forth without stopping to rest. Many people might go to the toilet or drink water to be lazy, but they worked all morning without being lazy. Everyone was watching them.
But what was strange was that while everyone else was almost collapsing on the ground due to exhaustion, Wang Jianguo still looked like he was full of energy.
Although the team leader is a village official, village officials also have to work. On this day, he not only supervised the work everywhere, but also helped to harvest the grain. He also saw that Wang Jianguo worked very hard. There was no one else in the entire production team who could compare with him. It would be unfair to him if he didn't give him a ten-point score today.
The production team usually recorded work points based on a 10-point system. Generally, getting 6 points was considered very good and the individual would feel very satisfied. This type of work was basically dirty and tiring, and could usually earn 4 or 5 points. Teenagers and boys were also given work points, but usually only two or three.
In this comparison, Wang Jianguo can do the work of several days in one day.
"Brother Jianguo, come over here and have a rest." Huang Yuelan was holding a basket. In the basket was the lunch she brought, including stir-fried dishes and soup.
Knowing that harvesting grain was very hard, Huang Yuelan went to the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh some meat for Wang Jianguo and made stir-fried meat. She also cooked some mung bean soup, for fear that he would get heatstroke.
Seeing his wife coming, Wang Jianguo immediately threw the car in his hand to the side of the road, even though it was tilted, and walked over with a silly smile on his face.
"Wife, you're here." When Wang Jianguo saw the meal brought by his wife, he was touched and felt very happy.
Huang Yuelan handed him a towel and asked him to wipe his sweat first, then handed him a water gourd and asked him to wash his hands with water. "Eat something first and take a rest. Didn't you see that others have taken a rest under the shade of the trees? Why didn't you come over to take a rest?"
"I don't feel tired, so why should I rest? I just want to finish the work early so that the grain in our team can be collected earlier." Wang Jianguo had never worked in a production team and was not very clear about some of the regulations.
"Remember this in the future. If the team leader blows the whistle and says it's time to call it a day, you should stop working and just rest with everyone else. Otherwise, even if you are as strong as an ox, you will collapse from exhaustion sooner or later." Huang Yuelan knew that even robots needed to be lubricated from time to time, let alone living people. They must get enough rest and combine work with rest.
Wang Jianguo knew that his wife was concerned about him, "Well, remember, I will definitely do what my wife said next time."
When Huang Yuelan came over just now, she happened to see that all the other villagers were resting, and only Wang Jianguo was working there. The villagers looked at Wang Jianguo as if he were a fool, and even thought that the fool was smarter than Wang Jianguo. After all, fools know how to rest, but Wang Jianguo doesn't.
Huang Yuelan served all the food and brought it to Wang Jianguo. Wang Jianguo took it, which was still hot. He knew that his wife had made it in a hurry, and said, "Wife, you eat too."
"Don't worry about me, you eat first." Huang Yuelan was thinking about going home to eat. There were so many people here, and she was not used to it.
Wang Jianguo thought that the food would get cold when he got home, so he said to Huang Yuelan: "Will my wife eat with me? If my wife accompanies me, I can eat more."
After hearing this, "Okay, then I'll eat with you." Huang Yuelan took out another bamboo bowl to serve the rice, and ate with Wang Jianguo on the ridge of the field.
Seeing his wife eating with him, Wang Jianguo's appetite increased greatly and he immediately started eating with big mouthfuls.
When the people around saw Huang Yuelan delivering food, they couldn't help but feel envious, especially some men, their eyes almost popped out.
"Look at Huang Yuelan. Her skin is so good, so fair and rosy. She's almost attracted all the men on our team."
"Of course not. She doesn't have to work. I heard that the savage loves her very much. He bought her some vanishing cream from the supply and marketing cooperative. How can it harm her skin if she puts that on her face?"
"No wonder. We don't have any vanishing cream to use. We also have to work in the fields, facing the earth and working hard. It's strange that our skin can be good."
Huang Yuelan was originally a beauty in Hongqi Commune and had been pretty since she was young.
Now, after some maintenance, she looks more beautiful than before. Although she is a married woman, if she goes out and says she is an unmarried girl, no one will believe her.
The villagers who were resting nearby were very envious and jealous when they saw Huang Yuelan's little appearance, but who wouldn't want to have a face like that?
"What's the point of having good looks? You're just an old hen that can't lay eggs. Sun Gousheng broke off the engagement with her before."
"Yes, the most important thing for a woman is to be able to work and earn work points for her husband's family. The most important thing is to pass on the incense to her husband's family. She doesn't have these two things. What else can she do? I believe that in our Hongqi Commune, apart from the wild people, no one else really cares about her."
Although Huang Yuelan is now more beautiful and her fair skin is dazzling wherever she goes, some jealous people suddenly feel much more balanced when they think about the fact that she was broken off from engagement because she was unable to have children.
When their production team was looking for a daughter-in-law, they didn't look at which daughter-in-law was pretty or educated, but only looked at which daughter-in-law could work, earn work points and have children.
The best daughter-in-law is tall and strong, who can do hard work in the fields and help take care of the children and do housework when she gets home. Of course, she also has to give birth to children one after another. In short, she is a money-making and childbearing machine.
If a family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it would be a great blessing.
People like Huang Yuelan, who don't work, don't earn work points, and are particularly good at spending money, are unlucky for anyone who meets them.
However, everyone saw that Wang Jianguo not only did not feel unlucky, but also treated him as if he had found a treasure. They immediately thought that Wang Jianguo was a big fool.
After working hard for more than half a month, the production team finally completed the grain harvest and everyone can take a break.
The next few days are to pay the public grain, and the remaining food can be distributed to each household based on the number of people.
Looking at this year's harvest, paying the public grain tax will not be a problem at all. The villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their hard work throughout the year was not in vain.
The two brothers Yueqiang were not idle either. They heard from their sister that they would go to school in September, so they worked hard to earn work points.
These children would take a basket or a basket and pick up some rice ears from the fields that had been harvested by the adults.
They could pick up a lot in a day. It was the first time that the two of them earned work points through their own labor. They were so happy.
"I think working and earning money is much better than just hanging around in the village."
"Me too. We can't be like before, doing nothing but eating and getting into trouble every day, causing sister to worry. We should help sister with work and share her worries in the future."
"right!"
Seeing that her two younger brothers were becoming more and more well-behaved, Huang Yuelan was happier than anything else.
Their parents are both dead, leaving the three siblings to depend on each other. She doesn't want her two younger brothers to become lawless, nor does she want them to develop bad habits and go astray.
You have to know that the supervision now is stricter than in later generations. If you go astray, you will either go to jail or be sentenced to death. If you want to regret it, you can only wait until the next life.
"Yue Qiang, come here, both of you. Come and try on the new clothes that your sister made for you."
As soon as they heard that their sister had made new clothes for them, they immediately put down their work and ran to their sister's side.
"Sister, are our new clothes ready?"
"Here, one set for each person, and a schoolbag." Huang Yuelan made schoolbags with the leftover scraps from making clothes. Since they were the same color, they matched the clothes and looked pretty good.
The two brothers were so happy to see the new clothes and new schoolbags.
He immediately took off the clothes made of torn sackcloth bags, put on new clothes, and then put on his new schoolbag. He immediately felt a lot more energetic.
The two younger brothers were not ugly originally, but their previous clothes were too ugly, so after putting on the new clothes, the younger brothers suddenly looked a lot more handsome.
Although the Huang Yueqiang brothers could not see what they looked like, when they saw each other it was as if they saw themselves.
"Sister's craftsmanship is really good. The clothes she made for us are really beautiful."
“This schoolbag is also beautiful.”
