Chapter 30: Work

The location of Baijia Village is okay, the northwest is the mountain, the northeast is the plain, a small river flows through the village from east to south, although it is downstream, but when there is no drought, it is enough to feed a village.

Most of the land near the water is planted with rice, and the northeast boundary is a small amount of wheat, a large amount of sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains, which are also the food that the people of the village rely on for survival.

After gathering in the center of the village, the captain Xu Changchun briefly introduced a few educated youths, and did not give the villagers who like gossip a chance to discuss, and directly began to assign work.

There is still a choice in the work.

If you want to earn ten centimeters, you have to do some work to carry water and pull a cart, and if you want to be lighter, there are eight points, six points, or even two points.

This kind of centimeter is the era of fate, except for some lazy people and second-rate people, no one will get along with ten centimeters.

Most of the male laborers who are the head of the family will choose a job of ten centimeters, and women generally choose eight centimeters, and Jiang Chaoyang also reported ten centimeters and was sent to carry water.

And at dawn, there was no need for Jiang Chaoyang to report, the captain only glanced at her and gave her the easiest job.

Go to the pit and throw sweet potato seedlings or bury the pit, five centimeters a day.

Although the centimeters are very small, Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with this job, except that her body is too small to do heavy work, that is, she wants to steal a few sweet potato seedlings and plant them in the holy land.

Isn't this a job that suits you so much?

She can't help it, it's too difficult to want a seed, this world is different from the beast world, everything is public, there is no letter of introduction, no unit certificate, if you want to get food seeds, it seems that you can only steal it.

As for the stolen seedlings? It's a big deal that she will return the seedlings after she keeps the seeds next year.

Dawn followed the army to the northeast of the field.

She was also accompanied by a little girl who was one or two years older than her, who was sent by the captain to "guide" the four female intellectuals.

It is said to be the captain's daughter, Xu Shanchuan's sister, Xu Xiaoxi.

is different from Xu Shanchuan's bamboo pole shape, Xu Xiaoxi is very likable, with a round face, big eyes, and a slight baby fat, and his personality is also very lively. In addition to the fact that her skin is a little tanned because she often works in the fields, there is a kind of "joy" in other places, and she is a very favored person at home.

Dawn looked at the appearance of others, and then thought about her own face with a pointed chin, and felt a little depressed, if it weren't for the fact that she was whiter than Xu Xiaoxi, she wouldn't have reversed the roles of the two if she didn't know.

Her current image is like a masochistic village girl, it seems that if she wants to raise it better, she still has to find a chance to drink it every day.

……

The lively Xu Xiaoxi talks a lot like her brother, "Your name is dawn!" Your name is so special. ”

"Your voice is also good, soft and glutinous, like sticky bean buns."

"You have good eyes...... too"

……

"You still have a kettle? This thing is not easy to buy, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are often out of stock. Xu Xiaoxi looked at the thermos in Xiaoxiao's hand with envy on his face. My mother has always wanted to buy it but couldn't buy it. ”

Dawn, who was praised from head to toe, finally had a chance to speak, "I bought this in Tsu City, and there were only two left." ”

"Tsu City? No wonder! Xu Xiaoxi's attention was immediately diverted, and his eyes lit up and he asked, "Isn't Jin City very prosperous?" I've heard people say that the city is full of high-rise buildings, and everyone rides bicycles, wears watches, and wears foreign clothes! That's right! And a car on four wheels! ”

Dawn looked at Xu Xiaoxi's yearning face, thought about it and told the truth, "What you said should be a car or a bus." There are many people who ride bicycles, but there are also many poor people, and people in the city need money to eat, dress and even drink water, and often support a large family with a person's salary. ”

"That's it!" Xu Xiaoxi's eyes widened in disbelief, and his interest immediately decreased, "Isn't that just a glamorous appearance?" It's not as good as us in the countryside, but as long as we are willing to work, the coarse grain can barely be enough to eat. ”

"Yes!" Dawn nodded, although it was harder in the countryside, and when the two of them talked all the way to the ground, Xue Mei's three female intellectuals had already received tools, and their work was eight points, and the work they got was to dig a pit with a hoe.

There are still some skills in this seemingly unskilled work, first of all, the depth of the pit should be paid attention to, and the second is that the spacing between the pits should be grasped.

Too dense is not conducive to the growth of sweet potatoes, too wide and a waste of land.

At dawn, taking advantage of Xu Xiaoxi's kung fu to teach the three of them how to dig a pit, he put his warm pot and tea jar in the center of the ridge.

In this way, she can take care of it even when she is working, lest someone steal her water or just carry her thermos away.

Originally, she didn't think much about it when she was holding the kettle herself, but just now Liu Xiaoxi said that they didn't have any family, so even if they did, there shouldn't be many other families.

In this way, her kettle is a rarity, in short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Put the warm pot and come back just in time to put sweet potato seedlings, which is also Xu Xiaoxi's job.

The two of them each held a bundle of sweet potato seedlings and threw them into the pit one by one.

In addition to being a bit tedious and dry, this work has no technical content, and children as young as seven or eight years old can do it, and at dawn I saw that many children younger than her were also doing this work.

She didn't feel embarrassed at all, and while throwing seedlings, she secretly put them into the holy place.

There are a number of sweet potato seedlings of this kind, and even if there is a loss, it will not be too much, so I didn't take more at dawn, and I only got about fifty and stopped.

The lost seedlings were soon watered, and then at dawn they were responsible for burying them.

It's easy to do it here at dawn, but it's not good for a few other educated youths, the male intellectuals don't know the situation yet, and the female intellectuals start crying after working here for two hours.

Chen Fangfang looked at the two big blisters on her hands, and tears fell down.

Among the three people, she was the only one who won the lottery because she didn't work much at home. Xue Mei and Wu Qin are both the eldest in the family, and they are used to doing housework, although they also feel tired, they are not as exaggerated as her.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxi's face was accustomed to it, "It's good to pick the blisters later, just start working like this, pick the blisters, pick them up again, and just grind the hands out of the cocoon." ”

Dawn: Are you sure this is comforting?

Sure enough, when she heard that she would be tortured repeatedly, Chen Fangfang's whole body was about to crack, and her tears fell even more fiercely.

Xu Xiaoxi was a little stunned when she saw her like this, thinking that Chen Fangfang didn't believe her, and said anxiously, "What I said is true, I don't believe it, look at my hands!" ”

As she spoke, she was about to stretch out her hand.
