Rebirth started from educated youth in 1977

Chapter 7 First Day at Work

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of the iron rod hitting the iron sheet sounded, which was the horn of work.

Nan Yi took Liu Zhen to the bullpen of the third team.

It is said that it is a cowshed, but it is not actually used to raise cattle. The water buffalo on the southern side are all grazing.When there is no need for arable land, cattle are usually driven into ponds or rivers to soak in a leisurely manner.

At night, they will be shut down. No, shut down is an inappropriate word. It should be said "please", and the cattle will be respectfully invited into the cowshed.

The cowshed is the bedroom for cows, the utility room for farm implements, and the granary for temporarily storing grain.

On the side, there is a grain drying yard, where the recovered grain will be dried, and then temporarily stored in the cowshed. After the harvest is over, the members of the team will pick the millet to the brigade.

At that time, the people who received grain at the grain station should also come to the door.

"Uncle Yaowei, Auntie, I'm Nan Yi and this is Liu Zhen. We're here to report to you. What do you do? Uncle Yaowei, just tell me what to do."

Before the words came, Nan Yi's cigarette had already been handed out.

Xian Yaowei took the cigarette and put it on his ear, "Yaodong has already told me, Liu Zhen, you go to mow hogweed, do you know how to mow it?"

"I know, I know, I've taught her just now."

"That's good. The dung pan is in the cowshed. Go get it yourself. There aren't many pigs on the team. After hog grass, you have to go down to the field to pick up rice ears."

"okay."

Nan Yi gave Liu Zhen a wink and took her to the cowshed.He had to bring another area, and he was not sure whether Liu Zhen knew Dung Kei.

Walking to the cowshed, Nan Yi pointed to the various farm implements and introduced them, "That one is a windmill, which is used to blow away the dust and unfilled grains in the millet; that one is a basket, which is used to carry the millet; that one is a a plow, an ox ploughing the land;
The rake is used to break up the large pieces of soil that the plough has turned up; that is the threshing machine, with the handle of rice in its hand, the grain will fall into the bucket below; that is…”

After introducing the farm implements over and over again, Nan Yi picked up the dung pan and said, "At the beginning, don't fill it too much. You can't bear the load without picking something on your shoulders. Pick less, run a few more times, and pick it up. At times, don't walk too fast, don't let the dung pan sway, it will feel heavier.

Shoulder pain, don't put down the burden immediately, grit your teeth and insist on walking a few more steps; one time is longer than one time, don't give up easily.

The burden should be slightly heavier at the front and slightly lighter at the back. The shoulder should be in the middle of the shoulder. Don't put a towel on it if you have shoulder pain. If you put something on it, the shoulder will be worn, and if it is broken, it will fester.

The most important thing, if you really can't bear it, just go to the field and call me, and I'll help you choose. "

"Ah."

"Go."

How to chop pig grass, this does not need Nanyi to teach, Liu Zhen can't do anything else, she still knows how to cook with a knife.

Watching Liu Zhen walking towards the river dam, Nan Yi walked to Xian Yaowei's side again.

"Nan Yi, come with me, you have to work according to the amount of twelve work points, this Yaodong has already told me, I will arrange tasks for you."

"Okay, Uncle Yaowei, that's it, I don't have a sickle yet."

"It's okay, it will be assigned to you when you get to the field. You are a strong worker, and the tools will definitely be handed to you."

Following Xian Yaowei to the edge of a field, Xian Yaowei picked one from a pile of sickles on the side and handed it to Nan Yi.

I tried the feel, and my fingers scratched the teeth of the sickle. Well, it's a good sickle.

"Here, come here, you finish the cut, and you will get the twelve work points for today. If you finish the cut early, you can leave work earlier, or you can cut a little more, and I will give you more work points.

We in Wenchangwei don't talk about egalitarianism. If you work more, you will get more. If you can do fifty work points a day, I will count it for you. "

"Well, Uncle Yaowei, you smoke."

Nan Yi scattered another cigarette, went down to the field and stood beside his responsibility ridge, lit a cigarette, smoked it quietly, threw the cigarette butt into the soil, and stepped on it with bare feet.

Bah, another mouthful of spit in the palm of my hand.

Scrub, bend down, swipe... swish...

Xian Yaowei watched it on the ridge for half an hour, but Nan Yi, this silly boy, didn't even straighten his waist once, even when he tied the rice handle, his waist was still bent.

"Yaowei, what are you looking at?" Ge Cuizhu walked over to Xian Yaowei and asked.

Ge Cuizhu, the scorekeeper of the third team, is responsible for scoring work points for the members of the team.A scorekeeper is not a full-time job, and he is given three to five work points a day, and he has to work himself.

Needless to say, this kind of good work is not something ordinary people can do.

First of all, if you have a high diploma, you have to go from elementary school to the third grade, and be able to write all the names of the team members; secondly, if you know how to understand naturally, if you don't understand, please continue to be naive.

"The new educated youth is a piece of work material. There is no stronger guy in our team than him."

"This is trying to sell your strength, it may not work after a while."

"No, look, when he cuts his head, he will be given [-] work points, and I'll go threshing corn."

"Go ahead."

Nan Yi got up at four o'clock, the team started work at six o'clock, and it was seven forty when he straightened his waist.

In about 10 minutes, Nanyi's workload has been completed by more than a quarter.

Wiping off the sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, Nan Yi walked out of the field, walked to the river, washed his muddy legs, put on his Jiefang shoes, and walked towards Liu Zhen.

"How is it, can you eat it?"

"Brother, I can do it. Look, I've already picked half of it, and when I'm ready, I'll go chop the hogweed." Liu Zhen put revolutionary grass in the dung pan with a smile on her face.

"Be careful, if the revolutionary grass falls to the ground, it will make you slip, don't fall into the river."

"Ah."

"You go slowly, I'll go get something to eat."

Back at the ancestral hall, open the lead pot, there are still about two bowls of thick porridge left in the pot.

Make it out of a lunch box, sprinkle a little salt in it, pour a little soy sauce (soy sauce), and Nanyi is done in 2 minutes.

Clean the lunch boxes and lead pots, and try to slow down the pace of returning to the fields. You can smoke two cigarettes on the way to digest your food.

……

I kept my head down and went back to the ancestral hall.

……

keep doing it!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Yi straightened up again and shouted at Ge Cuizhu not far away, "Auntie, please come and have a look."

Ge Cuizhu came over, looked at the already bare lane, and then lowered his head to glance, there were no ears of rice falling in the field.

"Come on, Nan Yi, you are really good. Your task for today has been completed. Are you going to take a break or do it again?" Ge Cuizhu said with a bright smile on his face.

It is a good thing for the team to have one more skilled worker in the team.

An expert can at least drive dozens of foreign millers, and can also add a few more grains of rice to each member's bowl.

"Hehe, I'm not going to do it today. I just came yesterday. I didn't pack a lot of things, and I didn't have anything to buy. I'm fast, and I just went to the commune to add something."

"That's right, don't go for a walk, Yaodong has a bicycle, can you ride it?"

"Can ride."

"Then ask him to borrow it and ride a bicycle."

"Okay, thank you Auntie."

After washing his muddy legs again, he went to the brigade to find Xian Yaodong, and asked him to borrow a bicycle. Nan Yi went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune.

It was the busy farming season, and even schools had busy farming holidays, so there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

One stands at the counter, the others... none of them.

Nan Yi looked at the goods hanging on the counter and the wall along the glass and cement counter, and walked back and forth, knowing what to buy.

"A blanket, I want the bright red one, a pound of chicken shit candy, two pieces of Hongli toothpaste, and, show me the skirt on the wall."

Just like reporting the name of a dish, Nan Yi reported what he wanted to buy, and when he was there, he pointed to a dress on the wall.

After all, it is the teller in the commune, not the city, and the attitude is not so domineering.

While picking up the skirt, he began to pay the bill, "Blankets are 28 yuan, two industrial tickets; chicken dung candy is [-] cents, no sugar tickets; Hongli toothpaste is [-] cents, no tickets are needed; skirts are [-] yuan, three feet of cloth tickets. "

Nan Yi looked at the skirt again, and tugged at the cloth head again to try to see if the knot was firm, and to see if the seam was tight.

"Is there a smaller size for the skirt?"

"No, this is the smallest."

"Okay, I want it, help me pack it."

The teller took back the skirt, folded the skirt into a cylindrical shape, wrapped a long piece of oiled paper on the outside, tied a loop of straw paper rope, clicked, and cut the thread with scissors.

Then, he tied the blanket with straw paper rope and threw it on the counter, "47 yuan and fifty cents, two industrial tickets, and three-foot cloth tickets."

"Here, thank you."

After handing over the money and tickets, Nan Yi pulled the things that could be bought with the apprentice's salary for more than three months, into his yellow schoolbag, and carried the blanket in his hand.

There is not much to go around in the commune, so grab your good stuff, get on your bike, and head back straight away.

………………

Good dish, I finished it yesterday. The only dish for dinner is Sansu, and there is a water hyacinth that Nanyi got back in the morning.

No one knows how to cook water hyacinth, so when Nan Yi came back, he hurriedly added this dish.

"Hey, I don't know when it will be next time to eat meat." Lin Guangwei said weakly, sighing as he grabbed the rice.

"Light Viagra, I still have some money. Next time I come to sell meat, I'll cut some."

"Forget it, Nan Yi, you'd better save some money. The rest of us can still count on our family. You'll have a good deal on your own. Let me tell you, it's easy to be hungry in Wenchang Wai, but if you want to eat well, then Difficult.

The tickets you bring are also saved for use. Throughout the year, there are no other tickets here except for oil tickets. It will be difficult for you to make clothes and buy soap in the future if you want to get tickets. "

"It's alright, I'm an easy person to adapt to. The rich can get by with the rich, and the poor can get by with the poor."

No, we have to move out with Liu Zhen quickly.

Nan Yi had already seen that the oil jars of the educated youth were about to bottom out. There were only so many people in the countryside that he could not see three to five taels of oil in a year.

Gas tickets are too difficult to get. If he takes out a handful of gas tickets, it's hard to explain where he came from.

A hutong string, where to get so many gas tickets?
Even a fool knows that this is definitely not normal.

　You can buy oil tickets for rapeseed oil, peanut oil or something, don’t even think about it, only those who have the means can buy them; the fritter tickets mentioned in the previous chapters are for buying fritters, not the same thing.
