"Mu Zhiqing is here!" Wu Dahua greeted Mu Qingli warmly when she saw her.
"Director Wu! Captain Zhou! Good morning!" Mu Qingli greeted with a smile.
"Good morning!" Zhou Dafang looked at Mu Qingli secretly and replied with a smile.
"Good morning! Have you eaten? Come in and sit down!" Wu Dahua said as she pulled Mu Qingli towards the brigade office.
"Mu Zhiqing! The village chief told you yesterday, right?" Wu Dahua took out the scorer's account book and asked.
Mu Qingli nodded: "Yes! I said it!"
"What did you say? What happened?" Zhou Dafang asked in confusion.
"The village chief said that Mu Zhiqing will temporarily be the scorekeeper from now on!" Wu Dahua handed the account book to Mu Qingli and answered casually.
"...Such a big thing, and you didn't even tell me?" This made Zhou Dafang, who wanted to exchange the position of scorer for benefits, very annoyed, and he couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Captain Zhou, you're just a timekeeper, not a leading cadre of the production team. Is it necessary to hold a meeting?"
"...That's not what I meant!" Zhou Dafang thought about how he had just proposed the division of labor yesterday, so his tone became a little lighter.
Mu Qingli lowered her head to look at the account book and ignored their argument.
That is, when digging stones in Xishan, the work points were fixed. Men earned ten work points a day, and women earned eight work points. If they were found to be lazy, their work points would be deducted directly, with no room for negotiation.
If it wasn't as troublesome as recording work points when working in the fields, and it didn't require asking, yes, and discussing, she wouldn't have taken this job.
Now that he is the scorer and there is someone else in the family, Mu Qingfeng can free up time to study.
Mu Qingli worked as a scorekeeper. Apart from the necessary work, she walked around the mountain with the account book. I guess no one cared about her.
After understanding how to keep score, Mu Qingli said hello to them and went out with the account book.
Wu Dahua and Zhou Dafang locked the door of the brigade headquarters and went to work in Xishan.
When Mu Qingli came over, the villagers were working hard.
Mu Qingli went directly to the group of educated youth.
Seeing Mu Qingli coming over with the account book, Wang Shuhui shouted, "Lili! Come here! This way!"
"Huh? Why are you holding a notebook?" Wang Shuhui was puzzled when she saw Mu Qingli coming over.
"Record the work!" Mu Qingli said casually.
"Ah? You are a village cadre?" Wang Shuhui asked in surprise.
"What village cadres? It's the same as before, but with a different job!" Mu Qingli rolled her eyes and said.
This girl, do you think she has some misunderstanding about the village cadres?
Zhang Yawei and Feng Mei both looked at Mu Qingli with gloomy expressions.
One of them had something against Zhou Dafang, and the other had an affair with him. When they heard that the scorer position was vacant, they both mentioned openly and secretly that they wanted to do it.
Zhou Dafang was wavering, not knowing who to let do the job. As he hesitated, Mu Qingli took advantage of the opportunity and directly appointed him as the village chief.
As for the position of timekeeper, it is the same as everyone else's, and they have to work too. However, it is also very important. After all, it holds the lifeblood of the villagers, so many people are vying for the job.
If it were any other educated youth, it wouldn't have worked. If they couldn't get along with the commune members, who wouldn't be afraid of being harassed? If everyone disagreed, then the educated youth wouldn't be able to be a timekeeper.
Fortunately, Mu Qingli usually has a good relationship with the members, and often wins them over with small favors.
The children, in particular, liked the beautiful and generous Mu Zhiqing more. The parents also loved her and were very friendly to Mu Qingli.
Mu Qingli put the account book aside and, together with Wang Shuhui and the others, carried the broken stones back into the valley bit by bit.
"Why does this labor intensity feel like forced labor?" Mu Qingli muttered.
"Labor reform doesn't record work points! But looking at this piece of stone, when will I be able to memorize it all?"
Their bad words turned out to be prophetic. The quarry was actually transformed into a labor camp.
Mu Qingli had only been working as a scorekeeper for two days, and the villagers had only earned a few days of winter work points, when a large number of people from the county and town came.
The army, the police, and the militia were all dispatched. The entire Lao Wo Ling was cordoned off, and sentries were set up on the mountain. The police patrolled and stood guard on the mountain with guns.
The village notified everyone to stop working, and the members were all confused.
It was not until the notice was posted that everyone knew that Lao Wo Ling in their county and Queqiao Ling in the opposite county had been transformed into labor camps. From now on, the task of opening up the mountain would be completed by those labor camp prisoners.
People only now realized that the work points that seemed to be earned over a long period of time were not prepared for them. From then on, the area around Lao Wo Ling was guarded by layers of checkpoints and became a forbidden area. Members were not allowed to enter or leave at will.
When truckloads of prisoners were taken to Laowoling in the Western Hills, the streets of several villages were almost deserted as people braved the cold wind to come and watch. Many soldiers, police officers, and militia comrades were dispatched to maintain order.
Mu Qingli and Wang Shuhui looked at each other in surprise.
"How could it come true?" Wang Shuhui was stunned.
"Haha! Look how silly you are!" Mu Qingli laughed at her silliness.
"Lili! Our words are so effective, let's make another wish!" Wang Shuhui said happily.
Mu Qingli gave him a look that said, "Don't lie to me." "Spirit?"
"Yeah! You see, just by talking to each other, the impossible things have become possible!"
"So what do you want to wish for?"
"Well, I want to go back to the city as soon as possible. I miss my parents! How about you, Lili?"
"Looking at your achievements, I want to become a pillar of the country! Haha!" Mu Qingli said with a smile.
Mu Qingli thought, your wish will come true very soon!
