After dinner, those who need to work go to work, those who need to rest rest, and those who need to work work.
Naturally, Qin Yulin went to work. The people in the next house were resting. Su Nian, Sun Yanyan and Qin Yuxian all went to Uncle Liu's yard to continue cracking chestnuts.
When they arrived, there were several aunties and grandmas in the yard knocking on the door with kerosene lamps.
"Su Zhiqing, you are here? These are the aunts in our village who don't usually go to work.
This is Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wu, and Aunt Si. They heard about the income-generating initiative for the village and have come to help!" Uncle Liu said with a smile when he saw Su Nian and the others coming over.
Su Nian had a smile on her face, but she was actually worried. Why didn't Fourth Master show up? It would be great if Fourth Master and his three thousand beauties could come along and contribute!
Who's so unreliable? He's blabbing all over the village! It's fine if you want the villagers to earn more, but the point is, don't you see? This is just a little extra work. Is the profit enough for everyone?
I heard that Captain Chen was going to give more dividends to those who helped, and also record work points, so these well-informed gossipy women came?
Despite their doubts, Su Nian and the others still greeted them with a smile: "Hello, aunties!"
"Su Zhiqing, Sun Zhiqing, Qin Zhiqing! Hello! Thank you so much for coming up with ideas to generate income for the village collective! All of our members will be grateful to you!" These old ladies, known as the Fourth Aunt, greeted Su Nian and the others with a smile.
"You're so polite, Fourth Auntie!" Su Nian said with a smile, then found a small stool to sit down and crack chestnuts.
As for the old ladies who had lifted the bar with Su Nian and the others, they didn't say anything. They rolled their eyes and pouted, looking down on these female educated youth who only knew how to take shortcuts and do easy work.
Now that there are many people, the chestnuts are cracked out quickly.
In the dim light, Aunt Wu and Aunt Wang, Dazhuzi's mother, quietly put two handfuls of chestnuts into their pockets.
Su Nian had good eyesight, so of course he saw it.
At this time, Captain Chen also came back from the town, humming a little tune as he entered the yard.
Su Nian guessed that the deal was done again.
"Captain Chen is back?"
"You look so happy! Did you find some money on the road?"
"Captain Chen, what good thing happened?"
As soon as Captain Chen entered the yard, several old women surrounded him and asked him questions.
Captain Chen was also confused when he saw so many people in the yard.
He got off his bicycle, put away his bicycle, which made all sorts of noise except the bell, and asked sullenly, "Why are you all here?"
"Captain Chen, we heard that you can earn work points by cracking chestnuts. Since we have nothing to do, we came to help!" Aunt Wu said with a smile.
"Captain Chen, is this true? We helped with the work, so we can be credited with the work, right?" Dazhuzi's mother asked anxiously.
"Captain Chen! Why aren't you talking?" Aunt Zhang saw that Captain Chen was not very happy, and was afraid that it was not true, so she added another sentence.
"Captain Chen, I just came here to help. I don't want any work points!" Seeing that Captain Chen's face looked unpleasant, Fourth Aunt hurriedly said.
"Who said that?" Captain Chen did not answer their question but asked instead.
"Captain Chen, you can't deny it! My son Zhuzi has already said it when he went back. You can't give this job to outsiders and not to our villagers!" Seeing that Captain Chen was about to deny it, Zhuzi's mother hurriedly said.
"What is an outsider? Who is an outsider?" Captain Chen asked with a serious face.
"Those educated youth are all from outside, and they are not of the same mind as us..." Dazhuzi's mother was pinched by someone as she was saying this, and she stopped talking.
"Haha! Those educated youth have their registered residence here and have taken root here, so how can they be outsiders? If you want to talk about outsiders, I, the team leader, am the outsider, right? I don't even have my registered residence here, and I'm not on the same page with you!" Captain Chen said with a sneer.
Dazhuzi's mother knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she couldn't help but smile awkwardly and kept silent.
"Captain Chen! You are a good cadre! Dazhuzi's mother is not good at speaking, so don't bother with her! We are of the same mind and we are all doing this for the good of the members!" Aunt Wu hurried to make amends.
"Okay, stop wasting your time. If we ask all the idle people in the village to earn work points for this little bit of work, what kind of income will our village generate?
"It's not even enough to cover our food rations, and we can't afford it either. Let's just stop generating income and earn work points honestly!" Captain Chen said angrily.
"No! Captain Chen! The year-end dividends are also good! Look at the village next door, every family can get two more pounds of meat at the end of the year! We don't want work points, we are just here to help. We can't let these girls suffer alone for the village collective affairs, right?" Aunt Wu quickly changed her words.
"Yes! Captain Chen! Fifth sister-in-law is right!" Aunt Zhang also immediately changed her words.
She is of the same generation as Fifth Aunt and always calls her sister-in-law.
Just like that, when the old ladies saw that Captain Chen was about to quit, they quickly changed their tune, kept flattering him and saying nice things, for they were also afraid that Captain Chen would make things difficult for them.
"You have this awareness, which means there is still hope. I will tell you clearly! I said that the reason for recording the work of the female educated youth is to encourage them to actively generate income for the village collective.
If you have your own ideas and they work, you'll be credited with work! Don't always think about the meat in other people's bowls!"
Seeing that they did not continue to make a fuss, Captain Chen softened his tone.
"Understood! Captain Chen!"
"I'll go back and tell my husband about this! Let them use their brains more!"
A few old ladies exchanged pleasantries with Captain Chen, and no longer asked for work points. In the end, they all smiled and left dejectedly!
Dazhuzi's mother and Aunt Wu couldn't wait to cook chestnuts as soon as they got home.
