"Tomorrow the village will have to distribute food and money. You are so hardworking and capable at the beginning of the year. You will definitely be able to distribute a lot of food and money this year, right?" Zhang Weihong asked Gu Shichu while sitting on the kang eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Gu Shichu.

Gu Shichu thought about it and realized that she was getting stronger due to her martial arts training. It was easy to do farm work, so she naturally earned more work points than when she first came here. So she nodded and replied: "It should be a lot, and the food should be enough for me."

one Year."

Zhang Weihong said with envy on her face: "I really envy you. I can't help it. I don't know if the food distributed can last for half a year. My parents have to give me a lot of subsidies, otherwise I will starve to death."

Gu Shichu said: "You envy me for having more centimeters, then I also envy you for having parents' subsidies."

When Zhang Weihong heard this, she laughed and said, "That's true. We can all live a pretty good life." But when she thought about her companions in the Educated Youth Institute who were not used to working like herself, she felt a little depressed and sighed.

explain,

"Those comrades in the Educated Youth Institute are having a hard time. They have never done farm work, and the work points they earn will definitely not be enough to support themselves... The less they eat, the worse their health becomes. The worse their health is, the fewer work points they earn, and then the work points are less.

The food distributed will be less... This is an endless cycle."

Gu Shichu heard that he sympathized with the young people who came to the countryside. They wanted to build the countryside with enthusiasm, but their ideals were suddenly shattered by reality. He would also slap them hard to make them realize the truth of life.

.

Strong educated youths can persevere after seeing the difficult reality, but some weak ones cannot persevere. They either try their best to return to the city, or they commit suicide because they can't bear it. Of course, there is another way out - find a villager to marry.

Or if you get married, you can rely on the capabilities of your husband's family or your in-laws' family to make life less difficult.

Gu Shichu said: "There is nothing they can do, but they can find some wild vegetables and fruits to fill their stomachs. It is better than nothing."

Zhang Weihong said with a sad face: "They can't take away the wild vegetables and fruits from the villagers, alas!"

When Gu Shichu saw that she was so worried, he said: "You have to grab it if you can't. If you don't want to be hungry, do you need to be polite and modest? The wild vegetables on the mountain are not a collective benefit. Whoever picks them belongs to them. Even if you can't grab them, you have to grab them."

People in the village have to work hard. If you work hard, you may gain something, but if you don’t work hard, there will be no gain.”

Zhang Weihong was stunned for a moment after listening to her words. She understood a little but didn't understand a little, but she was too busy taking care of herself that she couldn't help others even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go to the grain drying field and line up together tomorrow." Zhang Weihong said, "It's time to share the food. It must be very lively. I wonder how much meat can be shared today?"

Gu Shichu glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll call you at the Educated Youth Home when the time comes."

Early the next morning, the village chief began to announce through the village's loudspeaker that each household must send a representative to the grain drying field to receive the grain and money.

Gu Shichu went to the Educated Youth Home and called Zhang Weihong and went with her.

Others in the Educated Youth Court looked at their retreating figures and began to talk about them.

"How come Zhang Weihong is so familiar with that person named Gu?" a female educated youth named Li Qing asked the person next to her while combing her hair.

"Who knows? But I saw her going to see Gu Shichu with her textbook." Wen Keyi, an educated youth, said while wiping his face with balm.

"Tsk tsk, can't she still want to study with a village girl? This is too self-indulgent." Another female educated youth named Lin Shengnan said with disdain.

"How can you look down on others? Don't village girls have the qualifications to study?" Li Qing rolled his eyes and said.

"A village girl with only brute strength must be an idiot with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. She still wants to learn? She can't even read a word in Douda. Don't insult us scholars!" Lin Shengnan snorted coldly.

When she went to work, she saw Gu Shichu working. Although she was not taller and stronger than others, she worked like a tiger and was very powerful. She was fast and did her job well. The captain liked to praise her. Lin Shengnan listened.

Many times, I couldn't help but feel jealous of her.

Her name is Lin Shengnan, and she likes to be competitive. When she went to the countryside, she could only do farm work, and she also wanted to be the best. Unfortunately, she had more than enough ambition and lack of strength, and her ability could not keep up with her ambition, let alone compare with Gu Shichu.

Just like the female educated youth from the city

In comparison, she is only average.

Now seeing that Gu Shichu would be in the limelight today and get a lot of food and money, how could she not be jealous? Of course she would say some mean things. She couldn't do farm work as well as Gu Shichu, so she could only despise and despise her.

Her origin means that she is a wild and vulgar village girl.

Others saw that she was getting more and more weird and arrogant, so they couldn't help but stay away from her. Although they also envied Gu Shichu, they were self-aware. The more Gu Shichu earned, the more things he shared, and the less they did, the more they did.

There are few things, which is fair. What’s so sour about it?

So they did not agree with Lin Shengnan's words, but changed the subject and said: "Let's pack up quickly. If we go too late and can't even get a seat, what if we can't hear the captain's words clearly while standing outside?

"

Hearing what their companions said, they immediately sped up, fearing that they would be late.

Because it is a good thing to share grain and money, naturally all the villagers can't wait to get it, and they can't wait to get what they deserve right away. Therefore, everyone is very active and queues up at the grain drying field without being rushed.

of.

Gu Shichu and Zhang Weihong were queuing up, waiting as eagerly and excitedly as the people around them for the captain and others to come on stage to announce each family's harvest.

After everyone gathered, the team leader summarized last year's experiences, lessons and gains, said some words of encouragement, and then began to announce the things that everyone cared about.

"Li Dafu's family earns 11,326 work points a year, which can be divided into 687 jins of rice and 890 jins of corn..."

"Zhou Shitou's family earns 3,730 work points a year, which can be divided into 196 catties of rice and corn..."

"Chen Erniu's family earns 9,562 work points a year, which can be divided into 485 jins of rice and corn..."

…

When each family heard about their own home, they all came to the stage with joy to confirm, sign their names, get money, and then led their family members to the village grain depot to move their assigned grains. Everyone was smiling.

"Gu Shichu's family earns 6,557 work points a year, which can be divided into 349 jins of rice, corn...the money is 98 yuan and 76 cents..."

When Gu Shichu heard his name, he immediately became energetic and happily went to the stage to sign for confirmation.

"Gu Yatou has gained a lot this year! She is better than the seven or eight strong laborers!" When the captain saw Gu Shichu, he couldn't help but praise him. He likes capable people. Gu Shichu never worked neatly.
