With the approval of the team leader, Huang Yuelan felt relieved, knowing that she was almost certain to get the political work points.
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Come home with me to eat. Don't worry, I'll have the scorekeeper write down your work points in the notebook later, so you should keep a record of it too." The team leader had just finished his official duties, and when he saw that the big words on the wall had been written, he prepared to go home for dinner, and asked Huang Yuelan and the others to go with him.
Huang Yuelan smiled and said, "No need, my two brothers have already prepared the meal at home. Thank you for your kindness, Captain."
Of course, this is just an excuse. After all, every family is not well off nowadays, and eating for free is a shameful thing. Besides, it's not just one person eating for free, there are five children and two younger brothers, a total of eight people!
Although my children are not very old, they are very strong and eat more than each other!
The food they cook is almost enough for the whole family. If there are eight of them going, will there be anything left for the rest of their family to eat?
Therefore, Huang Yuelan would never take her children to the captain's house to eat, as that would be too immoral.
The captain saw that Huang Yuelan was unwilling to go to his house for dinner, so he stopped forcing her and said, "You don't have a work point book yet, I'll go back and get one for you."
"It's just a few work points. I can go home and find a notebook to write it down. No need to waste a notebook." Huang Yuelan thought that she would save as much as possible for the team leader.
The team leader said: "You wrote so well. If there is such a task in the future, I will have to trouble you again. So I will give you a notebook so that it is convenient to remember the work points. Notebook paper is definitely not as convenient as a special work point book."
It seems that I have gained the deep recognition of the team leader. If there are such things in the future, the team leader will hold me responsible. It seems that there will be plenty of opportunities to earn political work points in the future.
Huang Yueqiang and the others who were standing nearby heard this and felt secretly proud of their sister.
My sister is right. If you write well, you will have many opportunities!
Soon the team leader took out a notebook from the office that was used by members to record work points and handed it to Huang Yuelan: "Thank you for your hard work. You should go home and eat early. It's time for me to go home too."
Huang Yuelan: "It's not hard, it's not hard! It's all my duty. It's the captain who has to work hard."
As long as the money and work points are in place, she wouldn't feel tired even if she worked for half a month, let alone all day.
On the way back, Huang Yuelan opened the work points book and took a look. The book was divided into quite detailed sections. The leftmost column was for the date, with year, month and day written on it. The second column was the type of work, such as carrying manure, weeding, planting rice, etc. Next was the work points, which were divided into 10 points. There was also a work points summary at the bottom.
The outer cover is made of oil paper, which is dirt-resistant, durable and not easy to rot.
After all, the work points book is equivalent to a labor record. It not only records what was done, but also how much was done. At the end of the year, you can use this book to collect food and money.
It was a rare opportunity to have her own work points book, so Huang Yuelan had to keep it carefully and make sure not to let the children, especially the fourth and fifth children, tear or draw on it.
While waiting for everyone to finish lunch, the idle villagers and some old villagers who were unable to work came to the brigade’s site to bask in the sun.
When everyone returned to the team's venue, they found that everything here had changed.
There are a lot more promotional words on the wall, and the big words are written so beautifully.
"When was this written? It looks just like what is printed in a book. It's really good!"
"Yes, it's all over the walls around here! I wonder who painted it."
"It's really well written, the lines are straight and even, the lines turn where they should, and the writing is very neat!"
"Yes, the last time the word 'tie' was written in a very crooked way, this time it looks much better."
Everyone was very curious about who wrote such beautiful characters. They remembered that there was no one in the village who was so good at calligraphy.
The villagers don't have high requirements for the quality of handwriting. They basically think that it's good enough as long as it's neatly written. After all, writing on the wall is different from writing on paper, and writing on the wall is more difficult.
Just when everyone was wondering who wrote the words on the wall, the captain came back from lunch.
Soon some villagers came up and asked the team leader.
"Captain, who wrote the words on our wall? Did you ask people from other production teams to write for our village?" One of the villagers thought that since there was no one good at calligraphy in his village, it was very likely that the captain borrowed them from an outside production team.
The team leader was immediately unhappy when he heard this. What? Didn't their first production team deserve a person who could write well? They had to borrow from other production teams!
"It was written by someone from our production team! Why did we borrow it from other production teams? Even though our team has few people, don't we deserve to have people who can write well?" asked the team leader Fan Ming.
The villager could tell that the captain was unhappy. He smiled, showing his big black front teeth, and explained quickly: "Captain, you misunderstood. I was thinking that there was no one in our village who wrote so well before. Captain, who wrote this?"
"It was written by Huang Yuelan, Wang Jianguo's wife." The captain told everyone.
Although it was unexpected, I accepted this reality after thinking about it for a while.
"It turned out to be her! I didn't expect that her handwriting is pretty good!"
"It was actually written by the hunter's wife? How can his wife write so well?"
"What you said, she only went to high school for one year. If her father hadn't suddenly had an accident, she would definitely have graduated from high school and might have worked in the supply and marketing cooperative by then." One of them said.
The other villagers immediately remembered that Huang Yuelan did go to high school, so it was no surprise that she could write such beautiful characters.
Before, everyone focused on her scandals and her ability to have children, but didn't pay attention to her cultural level.
Now I understand. Not only is she good-looking and good at giving birth to children, she also writes well.
I thought the mission was completed and there was nothing else to do, but unexpectedly the captain found me again.
"Yuelan, can you draw?" asked the team leader Fan Ming.
To make a blackboard newspaper, you need not only good handwriting but also good drawing skills because you have to draw illustrations.
"Yes, what's the matter, Captain?" Huang Yuelan guessed that the captain would not come to her for no reason. Since he came to see her and asked her if she could draw, he probably wanted her to draw something.
Painting, like writing, is rewarded with work points. Huang Yuelan wished there were more political tasks like this.
The team leader smiled after hearing this and said, "That's good. The thing is, the previous task was indeed just writing, but later the superiors saw that some teams also added pictures, so they asked other production teams to draw illustrations as well to play a better propaganda role."
Huang Yuelan hadn't expected that things would become so complicated now. A task that could have been completed by writing had to be completed by drawing, and the rest of the production team had to follow suit to draw!
