Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 502, Determining Work Points
At the educated youth point, everyone was looking at so much tofu and discussing how to eat it during the festival tomorrow!

After all, tomorrow is Little New Year.

Although it is no longer the Little New Year, people still have the habit of making something delicious on this day.

The situation in rural areas is a little more relaxed. As long as no officials from the commune come to check, everyone will just celebrate the Little New Year.

Just don't mention it.

That night, Xie Laosi came over again, which was a rare occasion.

He was holding a flour bag in his hand.

He said, "Here are five pounds of noodles for you to eat during the New Year! I don't know if it can be delivered in time for the New Year."

"Great! I was just wondering what to eat tomorrow!"

Everyone was also very happy.

After all, what we received today are all coarse grains. How can we celebrate the festival without fine grains!

Su Yanan looked at the flour and lamented, "Captain, is there no rice?"

"That's right, do you have any rice? We eat corn grits or flour every day, can we have some rice?"

Little Tianjin Zhang Mingyuan was muttering there.

The Shanghai educated youth also ate noodles, but rice was still their main food.

For people like Zhang Mingyuan, breakfast usually consists mainly of rice, in addition to noodles.

It’s a bit unbearable to do this every day.

Xie Laosi took the cigarette handed over by Yang Xiaole and said with a smile: "Yes, why didn't you tell me earlier? Next time, I will keep the rice for you. We also grow rice in the village, but most of it has been handed over. Only each household has kept a little."

He can understand it too.

These are city kids.

The ration in the city is generally one-third fine grain.

But how many parents don’t think about their children? Most of the adults’ fine grains are given to their children.

Therefore, the food that children in the city actually eat is definitely more than one-third fine grains.

"Oh, okay, thank you, Captain!"

Su Yanan hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing this, Xie Laosi asked inside, "By the way, is Song Zhiqing feeling better? Is he still having a fever?"

Su Yanan shook her head: "She doesn't have a fever anymore. Yang Xiaole gave her an injection."

Hearing this, Xie Laosi nodded.

Then he smiled at Yang Xiaole and said, "It seems that it is right to let you be the barefoot doctor of the brigade!"

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a while.

Ok!

It seems that I am indeed more suitable.

Everyone asked curiously.

Xie Laosi then explained the situation again.

Feng Aijun smiled and said, "Xiao Le, you are becoming more and more important in the eyes of the captain now!"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Seeing this, Xie Lao Si said, "You have been here for such a long time. Although it is winter and the farming season is not very busy, there is still work to do occasionally. Other production teams are discussing the work points. Go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow and get the work points determined. Report to the public and we will determine them for you then!"

"Ah? Work points?"

"Is it decided now? What does it mean to report to the public for discussion?"

……

Everyone asked while discussing.

Xie Laosi smoked a cigarette and said: "You can apply by yourselves, and then we will see whether you are qualified or not. The standard we give you is 4 points for female educated youth and 6 centimeters for male educated youth.

If you have any objections, you can speak up yourself. For example, if you want 10 work points, but everyone feels that you don’t have enough points and can only get points, then you can only get points. Everyone must be convinced.”

After that, he continued, "Of course, in the future, your work tasks will also be determined based on your work points. There are also special tasks in special periods. For example, the shoulder pole team has 12 centimeters a day and 14 centimeters a day. It all depends on your ability."

"Ah? Still like this!"

"Then I feel like I can at least get ten centimeters!"

"That's right, we have the strength too!"

Everyone was talking there.

Xie Laosi didn't say anything, just smiled.

After a while, he said, "Okay, after registration tomorrow, the scorekeeper will have a "Member's Labor Handbook", which will record your daily attendance. This will be used when the production team distributes dividends at the end of the year.

The scorer will register you. If you have not registered, the first thing you should do after dinner is to go to the scorer to report your work situation, so as to avoid confusion about work points later.

By the way, you were given 10 points for your previous training and digging, but you won’t get such a good deal in the future.”

Xie Laosi didn't stay long. He asked about the situation briefly, said hello and left.

After the people left, everyone was talking about it.

Then there was a lot of discussion there.

After being here for so long, I know that the men in the team are 6 cm, the women are cm, and the boys are cm. Everyone has other situations according to their circumstances.

Men all think that they are already in their twenties and there is no way they can get the work points of women.

As for the work points for a half-brother, it is even more impossible.

These women are a little more low-key, and I don’t think they can necessarily surpass these women.

Only Wang Laoer was wailing there: "How can I get work points if I'm like this? I can't even work with my hands!"

You deserve what you get.

Yang Xiaole didn't say a word from beginning to end.

I really took it for granted.

However, he is a member of the brigade committee, brigade custodian, and may become a barefoot doctor in the future.

These are all subsidized by work points.

As long as you do more than 365 days of collective labor out of 60 days a year, it will be enough.

No matter how bad it is, you can still get full marks.

Everyone was talking and clamoring for food.

But today’s food is not steamed corn bread.

It's corn grits porridge.

One reason is that there are no tools to process it into cornmeal, and another reason is naturally that we have to be more economical.

In the evening, Yang Xiaole read the newspaper given by Xie Laosi to everyone.

Convey the spiritual instructions from above.

After the meeting, it was time for the night story time.

This is more positive than anything else.

That night, everyone blushed again.

After hearing the meeting was over, Yang Xiaole went out to the bathroom. It wasn't that he was irritated by this.

But I really need to go to the toilet.

However, there were two fewer people at the educated youth point at this time.

Yang Xiaole was curious.

Zhao Weibing and Liu Jinlian.

No need to think, you know what these two people are doing.

It’s not that we do any primitive actions, but there will definitely be some kissing.

I walked around but couldn't find the two people.

I didn't care.

When they came, it was obvious that they were a couple.

It's not strange for them to be affectionate.

As the leaders of the nation's youth, the youth of Beijing are wilder than those in other places.

People from other places all learn from the students in the old city.

There is no such thing as Pat Pozi anywhere else.

Only the old city has it.

I returned to the dormitory, took a shower and went to bed.

……

The next morning, everyone got up to the sound of singing on the trumpet.

Without eating breakfast, they just brushed their teeth and washed their faces, and then came to the yard.

But it’s not about setting work points.

Still having a meeting.

Because it was the slack season during the farming season, each person who came would receive three work points, and those who did not come would have their work points deducted.

It seems to be becoming a normal feeling.

We still read yesterday's newspaper, but the content at the back is also to let members know the situation outside.

But these newspapers are not the latest.

The meeting ended after more than an hour.

Xie Laosi looked at everyone and said, "Well, the annual work point assessment has passed, and the new educated youth also need to have their work points assessed. Everyone understands, but these educated youth comrades don't. Let me explain it to everyone."

Then he started talking there.

Just briefly talk about the rules of work points.

After it is decided, you can get your work points by completing the tasks.

Including some work points earned on daily basis.

In addition to spring planting and autumn harvest in the production team, there were also miscellaneous assigned tasks such as repairing ponds and building roads, and normal work points were earned for completing them.

Work points will be deducted if the task is not completed.

Those who are unwilling to perform assigned tasks will have their work points deducted.

In addition, there are some work points similar to "piecework".

Cutting grass for pigs, picking peppers from the production team's vegetable fields, and other manual work
The production teams did not have standardized working hours, and points were calculated based on the weight they harvested. For example, at the beginning of spring, 10 kilograms of green grass would be counted as 3 points, picking 10 kilograms of cotton would be counted as 5 points, and tying 10 sticks of flue-cured tobacco would be counted as 4 points.

However, the amount of cotton planted is small, so during the quarantine period, some cotton will be planted to supplement the village's cotton.

After the introduction, Xie Laosi said, "The standard for you now is 6 for men and 4 for women. If you have any opinions, you can raise them yourself. Those who can lift 150 kilograms will be rated 10 points, and those who can lift 120 kilograms will be rated 8 points."

After hearing this, everyone frowned.

After listening to it just now, everyone understood.

Let’s not talk about whether you have the strength to do it.

It is not so easy for men and women to get full work points.

For men who are ten centimeters tall, not only must they have the strength to meet the standard, but they must also be able to use all eighteen types of weapons used in the fields.

Women have to know how to do all kinds of farm work in the fields.

This is really annoying.

In other words, if you want to get the same work points as these members, you have to wait until next year to get the points.

How could you possibly get this little score if you haven’t even learned this?

After all, demanding work is only a small part of farm work, not all of it.

The standard for carrying the burden just now is just one of them.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xie Lao Si smiled and said, "Do you have any objections? If you don't, it's settled. If you want to change it, it will only be at the work point assessment meeting at the end of next year."

"I'll do it! How do I take the exam?"

"I'm coming too!"

The one who stood up was Boss Wang, a very strong guy.

The other one is naturally the heroine Liu Jinxiulian. Xie Laosi nodded and said, "You are educated youth. Although you are here to receive education from poor and lower-middle peasants, we should relax some standards for you and not test you too much."

"No need to relax the standards! All those who can be tested must be tested!"

Liu Jinlian felt that she could do it.

When she was in school, the school sent students to the countryside to support agriculture, so she knew a little bit about it.

And they also did some farm work during difficult times.

Xie Laosi smoked welding smoke, smiled and didn't answer!

Instead, he pointed to a pile of red bricks nearby and said, "There's a carrying pole over there. Three bricks are worth one point, and ten points are worth one workman. The more you can carry, the more points you'll get. Ten points at most. Apart from this, I'll test you on driving a horse-drawn carriage or a sled later."

Yang Xiaole took a look and found that the brick weighed about five pounds.

Three bricks weigh 15 jin. 30 bricks weigh 150 jin

This matches the 150% of 10 pounds I just mentioned.

Seeing this, Liu Jinlian went over directly.

Looking at a pile of red bricks, he picked up one and weighed it.

Then they started filling the baskets.

Seeing this, Boss Wang naturally followed.

Liu Jinlian directly got thirty yuan, which is the standard for full marks.

I tried it and it worked.

Seeing this, Xie Laosi said to Tiehua who was holding a notebook next to him, "Tiehua, write it down for them."

"Captain, I can lift it."

While thinking, Liu Jinlian shouted happily.

The important person who caused this laughed out loud.

This made her feel strange for a moment.

Seeing this, Tiehua said directly: "You haven't finished yet! This pole can't just be carried up, it has to be able to walk two miles back."

After that, he continued, "Besides, this thing is not something that can be done in one trip. Even if you try to hold on according to this standard now, you will still have to work for a whole day. If you fail to complete it, you will still lose points. Your work points at the end of next year will still be deducted."

These words made Liu Jinlian look bitter.

It also made Boss Wang quietly stop installing bricks.

Liu Jinlian hesitated for a moment.

Take a few pieces off.

At least I have to get some work points for women. I can't be worse than the children in the village.

……

At the same time, Feng Aijun and others had the same idea.

Yang Xiaole said, "You have never been to the countryside. To put it bluntly, you are not as good as those half-grown boys in the countryside. They have been doing farm work since they were young. Carrying water is a common thing for them. Every year during the busy farming season, their parents have to work in the fields. It's just that they don't do as much as adults."

These words made everyone feel depressed.

No!
They are not even as good as kids of fourteen or fifteen years old?
Yang Xiaole nodded and said directly: "It's true that it can't compare."

If they simply carry the load, it's no surprise that many women in the village can carry 200 kilograms.

What's the use?

You have to be able to work.

While thinking, Liu Jinlian tried the carrying pole and threw a few more pieces.

No matter how I try, my shoulders hurt.

After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and got up.

Can bear.

Then he moved.

But the basket was swinging back and forth, which made it even more painful.

I finally found the previous feeling, but after walking more than ten meters, I gave up.

Really can't walk.

Finally, he came back wiping his tears.

Boss Wang was the only one left at the scene.

Boss Wang was not satisfied with just 6 points, but he also did not get ten work points, so he got eight.

Carrying things and moving forward slowly.

Walking around in circles in the yard under everyone's gaze.

Seeing this, Xie Lao Si looked at the others and said, "Okay, is there anyone who wants to try it?"

"I come!"

Guard Zhao shouted there.

Because there are so many people, the burden of preparation is also heavy.

Others also tried it.

The scene was quite lively.

Soon, only a few female educated youth, Yang Xiaole and Wang Laoer were left in the team.

Wang Laoerze was sighing and saying, "What should I do?"

"Hey, what else can you do? Six points! You can't be better than your big brother! Your big brother can only get seven work points at most."

Yang Xiaole looked at it and muttered something.

"Hey, Yang Xiaole, why don't you go?"

Feng Xue looked at him and asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole looked at everyone's gaze and was originally planning to go over there in a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be a bit too conspicuous.

Finally I followed him.

He found a carrying pole, picked up 150 kilograms of things and put them on the pole, then shouted to Tiehua: "Scorer, I'm starting!"

Tiehua was registering everyone one by one and asking for their names.

There is no need to ask Yang Xiaole's name.

"Hey, okay! How much?"

"150 pounds!"

Yang Xiaole said this, then picked up his load and walked away.

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I was prepared to see the joke.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaole was walking steadily and quickly.

The slower I walked, the more it hurt.

Speed ​​can actually share some of the pain.

But this was child's play for him.

Start the latest and go the fastest.

The entire circumference of the yard is about 200 meters.

Soon, the five laps were over.

Even Boss Wang, who arrived early, hadn't finished yet and was still gritting his teeth and holding on.

Xie Laosi nodded in approval.

Tiehua smiled and said, "Of course you can! Okay, let's pull the sled later."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole piled the red bricks back one by one.

150 kilograms is just a standard. During the busy farming season, work points will be reset based on the weight.

When harvesting, you are racing against time.

It is also the biggest opportunity for members to increase their work points.

Otherwise, who would do the work if the work points for 150 kilograms and 200 kilograms are the same?

Only a fool can do it.

Wang Laoer and the others didn't seem too surprised when they returned to their seats.

Just from the fact that he pinched Guard Zhao's neck with one hand that day, you can tell that he is very strong.

The fellow villagers were quite puzzled.

They were all there admiring how good this doll was.

The assessment is in full swing.

The results came out in a short while.

Zhao Weibing and Feng Aijun barely reached the standard of 8 points, and none of the others could exceed work points.

According to the regular points.

These people don't even have six points.

I have the strength, but some things cannot be solved solely by skills.

Wang Lao Er muttered, "It's better to cut grass for pigs! Ten catties is only three cents. This is a mountainous area, if you cut it casually, it will be dozens of catties!"

Yang Xiaole looked at him like a fool: "Do you think this grass is easy to cut? Pigs will eat any grass?"

When production teams set work points, they could not be absolutely fair or without loopholes.

But for now, that's pretty strict.

After everyone had tried it, Xie Lao Si said, "Okay, this is carrying a load. There's also pulling a sled. Do you want to try it?"

Yang Xiaole naturally wanted to go.

After all, we have already carried such a heavy load before.

"I come!"

Seeing this, Xie Lao Si nodded and said, "Okay, there is no place for you to try now. You drive the horse and direct from the back, from the front to the back, go back and forth, and you should be able to pass."

Pointing at the venue.

Yang Xiaole looked at it.

In fact, it is necessary to be even and not drive the sled to all places.

The same principle applies to plowing the fields. If you don't keep the right direction, you'll end up making a mess.

The horses were naturally prepared long ago.

Pulling the horse-drawn carriage, they began to experiment in a small place far away.

These are all small things to him.

The test was carried out according to the standard.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately gave up their seats in the middle and looked around.

It took a while to complete the circle.

Replace them with Feng Aijun and Zhao Weibing.

Fortunately, both of them have handled horses before!
Although the horse always runs crookedly, at least it can complete the basic operations.

Not particularly crooked.

Seeing that it was over, Xie Lao Si finally nodded and said, "Okay, the two of you will get eight work points. You get seven work points, and Yang Xiaole gets ten."

Zhao Weibing and Feng Aijun are eight.

Boss Wang can barely be counted as 7.

Only Yang Xiaole has 10.

As for the others, they will not be assessed for the time being, which can be regarded as a kind of care for the educated youth.

So the assessment ended just like that.

People who were already shivering with cold ran back home one after another. As for the women, they still had to cook, so they had already gone back home.
