Chapter 6: earn points for work (2/2)
”Li Weihong, go and mow the grass on the fields in the east.”
”Wang Chaoying, Liu Fubang, you two open the river ditch at the west end”
Everyone went to work when they got their assignment.
The tasks assigned by Liu Gensheng are based on men and women. Basically, men do some heavy physical work, such as digging canals, ploughing fields, and carrying burdens. Women do light work, mowing grass, sowing seeds, watering land.
The work is different, and the work points are also different.
In this day and age, a full day's work is ten work points. Men who do heavy work will be given a little more work points, and if they do well, they will be given ten work points.
Women do light work. Even if they do well, at most, they will get six or seven work points, seven or eight work points in a day, usually three or four work points, four or five work points.
The food that is distributed is linked to the work points. The higher the work points, the more food can be distributed. Therefore, every household is thinking that if they can get more work points and more food, they can eat more food at home.
Soon, Zhao Xiulan was also assigned a job - cutting hogweed!
Liu Gensheng knew that Zhao Xiulan fell into the water and had a fever, and looked at Zhao Xiulan's face today, and she was very weak, so she simply assigned Zhao Xiulan an easy job.
Zhao Xiulan saw that Liu Gensheng had deliberately assigned himself easy work, thanked him gratefully, and then took the farm tools, sickle and basket of the brigade, and ran to the mountain to mow hogweed.
The men who were sent to cut the hogweed, and the cattle herders, went down to the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Xiulan went up the mountain with the memory of the original owner.
Now is the era of great famine. In addition to the steelmaking in the past few years, many trees have been cut down, the hills are a little bald, and there are not many plants and trees.
