Chapter Three, Xian Yaodong(2/2)
"You three are both unlucky and lucky. You are here to jump in line at this time. But fortunately, you are coming to Wenchangwei. We have no shortage of water, fertile land, and no need to build canals.
As for you, stay here for two years with peace of mind and let your family think of a way to get you back to the city.
Don't ever think of escaping by yourself, let alone go to the other side. The militia company has already killed many people who tried to swim across, so don't be next."
Xian Yaodong pointed to the Guide to Yi.
"Uncle Xian, please be at ease." Nan Yi patted his chest and said, "I won't use my brain wrongly, especially on the other side, and I won't think about the past. I'm not a deserter. If I want to go over, I will follow the army.
Kill him with dignity and dignity."
"Okay, good boy, work hard. If there are more quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers, I will definitely remember you." Xian Yaodong pointed to the front and said: "Look, the front is Wenchangwei, and the big house at the end is the original one.
Ancestral hall.
When the educated youth began to come over, it became your educated youth spot, and all the educated youth lived there.
It turned out that the educated youth worked together with the members of the brigade. Later, the brigade designated a special area for the educated youth to take responsibility."
"Uncle Xian, do the members dislike the educated youth and don't know how to work?"
"Well, the ones that were transferred in the early years are fine, but the ones that were transferred in the later years are not good. There are all kinds of troubles. We can understand that they can't work well. After all, they are from the city.
If you have never done farm work before, it will be fine if you learn slowly and little by little.
But some people just use their brains and can think of any way to avoid work.
Those who pretend to be sick, those who cheat, those who take advantage of their good looks to hook up with girls from the brigade...
I have no choice but to set aside a separate piece of land for you educated youths, and it’s up to you whether you’re good or bad. Now, the most capable of the educated youths only gets eight work points a day.”
"Uncle Xian, don't worry, I'm a good hand at farm work. I don't hang out with the educated youth. I work with the commune members. Look at it, I will definitely get ten work points. If I catch up with the harvest, I will get twelve work points.
You have to give it to me too."
In general, the maximum work points a working-age male in a production brigade can receive every day is ten, twelve or even more work points. The excess work points are actually rewarded.
The most capable women can only move up to eight centimeters a day, unless they have a skill that can generate income for the brigade.
Depending on local conditions, each brigade basically has its own sideline business, such as hunting, fishing, raising chickens, ducks and geese, raising pigs, cattle and sheep, weaving, burning bricks, bamboo strips, carpentry, etc.
"You kid, aren't you bragging?" Xian Yaodong looked Nan Yi up and down.
"It's a donkey or a horse. You'll know after I take a walk. Not only can I work, but I can also bring opportunities to Wenchangwei."
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
Nan Yi smiled mysteriously, "Uncle Xian, we'll talk about this later. Right now, we don't know each other well enough, and we can't completely trust each other."
"Okay, you are not very young and you are quite methodical in doing things. Then I will wait and wait for you to show me the opportunities you mentioned." Xian Yaodong said with a smile.
Xian Yaodong looks harmless on the surface, but he definitely has a lot of twists and turns in his belly.
