Chapter 12 The First Day of Work
The female educated youths had never experienced this kind of battle before. Suddenly being looked at by so many people made them feel ashamed and angry.
At this time, they felt like their days were like years, and they wished that time would pass by immediately.
Fortunately at this time, captain Zhou Weiguo came to their rescue.
"What are you looking at? I've never seen a woman before. I want to go home and see your mother."
"All the big men don't know how to respect others!"
"And those who are making noises, if you start making noises again, I will deduct your work points."
Captain Zhou Weiguo has a bad temper , got angry and scolded whomever they arrested. After being scolded, the villagers did not even dare to say a word.
It’s easy to just be scolded, but the key is to deduct work points!
In this era, work points are food, and work points are money.
This is the lifeblood of the villagers. It would be uneconomical if work points were deducted because of this!
Dabazi Production Team is a large village with a large population. The villagers are divided into eight teams, and the team leaders assign tasks to work.
Among these eight teams, teams 1, 2 and 3 are the advanced teams of the production team. They do the heaviest work and get the most work points. If you can join this team, you can straighten your waist when you walk outside. .
Teams 4, 5 and 6 are ordinary teams, and they are also teams with the most numbers. As long as they are not old, weak, sick or disabled, and are not lazy in their work, they are all in these teams.
As for the last two teams, they are prepared for those who are elderly and physically weak, commonly known as the pension team.
These two teams have the easiest work, but they also have the least work points.
Many educated youths in the village who are weak in physical strength and unable to do physical work or endure hardship will also be assigned to these two teams.
Zhou Ziwen and these new educated youths stood in a row and were selected by the eight team captains. Which team leader selected would join that team.
Zhou Ziwen was the tallest and seemed to have a good physique. The captain of the team was a little excited, but he was afraid of the silver pewter gun head.
The captains of the second and third teams also had the same concerns.
After all, their team is an advanced team. If they can't do their job well, doesn't it prove that they don't have good vision?
“This little comrade looks good, I want it.”
The captain of the 1st, 23rd and 3rd teams was still hesitating, but the 4th team captain had already spoken first.
You have to choose someone anyway, so why not pick someone you like.
With Zhou Ziwen's physique, even if he can't work now, with a little training, he can become an effective person.
The other team leaders looked at each other and began to select. They were afraid that if they delayed any longer, everyone would be picked away.
The requirements for the first, second and third teams are relatively high, and not a single educated youth was selected.
Everyone is used to this style of work and has no objections.
Teams 4, 5 and 6 each selected two male educated youths, leaving the female educated youths to the last two teams.
Teams 7 and 8 were so angry that they wanted to curse, but there was nothing they could do.
After all, their team is composed of old, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot work well, so naturally they cannot be strong.
The Chen sisters were assigned to team eight. Perhaps this might be a good place for them.
Anyway, their family conditions are not bad. Even if they don’t earn enough work points, they can still spend money to buy it.
It’s not yet the autumn harvest season, and the production team’s tasks are not that heavy.
This is not important only in relative terms. For Zhou Ziwen and other educated youths who have just gone to the countryside, the work they have to do is relatively tiring.
The Chen sisters were lucky and were assigned to weed the fields.
Weeding is also a big project. The weeds in the ground grow one after another, and weeding basically needs to be done every once in a while.
This job sounds easy, but it’s not that simple.
Because the farm equipment in the village is limited, tasks such as weeding are done with bare hands. Everyone worked squatting, which was quite easy at first, but after a long time, they became extremely tired.
Especially his two feet, it seemed like they were no longer his own.
Zhou Ziwen is in the fourth team. Their task is to open up wasteland so that they can grow wheat in the coming year.
Following the villagers to receive farm tools for land reclamation, the group went to the fields.
The land being reclaimed is all uncultivated wasteland. The soil is hard and dry, and it takes a lot of effort to hoe every time.
Seeing the villagers working with great enthusiasm, Zhou Ziwen also became energetic, rolled up his sleeves and started working.
It was a bit difficult to dig the wasteland, so Zhou Ziwen used the force-generating skills of Bajiquan, not to mention, it was much easier this way.
You can also practice boxing while working.
Bajiquan is extremely explosive, exerting force on the heel, running along the waist, penetrating the fingertips, and finally bursting out.
Zhou Ziwen has roots under his feet, a hoe in his hand, and his hands are like files. With every bend and stretch, there is a large piece of soil.
This action may not seem surprising to outsiders, but it is extremely labor-saving and makes work easier.
Before I knew it, the whole morning had passed.
It wasn’t until the gong sounded that the end of work sounded that Zhou Ziwen woke up from his state of concentration.
Looking back, it turned out that he had already thrown the person far away.
At this time, the captain of the fourth team came to him, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Zhou Zhiqing, I saw you right, you are the material for work."
< br>"Captain Zou deserves the award, I'm just stupid and weak." Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
"When I saw your body, I knew that you were different from other educated youths." Zou Guoqiang, the captain of the fourth team, was smiling, feeling like he had found a treasure.
Originally, he thought Zhou Ziwen needed to adapt for a while, but now it seems that he doesn’t need to adapt at all!
As far as the work progress at this time in the morning is concerned, it is also the best among the four teams.
In the countryside, people who work hard are respected. No, Zhou Ziwen found that the folks in the same team as him looked at him differently.
"It seems that I have integrated well into Dabazi Village." Zhou Ziwen thought to himself.
The reason why I work so hard is just for this moment!
Why are educated youths who go to the countryside despised? It’s not because I can’t work.
In order to better integrate into the group, Zhou Ziwen decided to perform well from the beginning.
The effect is very obvious. Most of the villagers who have seen him work regard him as one of their own.
In this way, his life in the country will be much easier in the future.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen is just a special case, and other educated youths are not as relaxed as him.
For example, Li Weimin, who was in the same team as him, almost couldn't keep up.
I was scolded several times by the squad leader, and then I gritted my teeth and persevered.
I guess he won't have a good night's sleep when he goes back tonight. He doesn't usually work, but if he does it suddenly, he will feel better.
After work, Zhou Ziwen went to join the Chen sisters.
When he saw the two girls, he almost didn't recognize them.
In just one morning, Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi changed their appearance. Their originally clean little faces became dirty, like two poor little tabby cats.
The hair is also a little messy. People who don’t know it think they have gone to fight with someone.
