Looking at everyone, Han Yuheng said, "Everyone has seen that the rice grown by our production team has matured and the quality is better than last year. Due to the good weather, we plan to carry out the sumr harvest on May 13."
"I hope everyone can prepare tools in advance. If you don't have tools, you can borrow them from the production team. As for group division, this year we will divide it based on family unit. We hope to improve work efficiency in this way," he added.
As soon as he finished speaking, a villager raised his hand and asked, "Team leader, what about those responsible for drying? Will they be divided according to family units too?"
"We will leave those easy jobs to those with weak physical strength, sick, and pregnant won. Of course, the work points they can get every day will be less than those working on the field," the vice captain explained.
"Vice captain, how many points can we get for doing this job?" asked a pregnant woman.
"You can get up to six points."
At first, many villagers wanted to find so easy jobs. But when they heard that the points they could earn were so low, they hesitated.
After all, it is common for pregnant won to work in the fields. At least the work on the field can get them 8 points. Strong ones can even get 10 points.
Li Chenmo nodded when he heard this. With the points gap, the production team can control those villagers who want to earn a lot of points but are unwilling to work hard.
Although the work point system itself is unfair, with this new regulation, it will be fairer than in previous years.
"Any more questions?" Han Yuheng asked.
Seeing that no one asked questions, he said, "Then everyone can co forward and register their nas."
After he finished speaking, the villagers lined up to register their nas. Except for those who cannot do heavy work, most villagers want to work in the fields. Even Doctor Xie registered his na to do work in the fields.
Li Shu, on the other hand, was registered by Han Yuheng to join the drying team. Although she could only get 6 points at most, she was already very satisfied. At least they allowed her to work despite her poor health.
When it was Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu's turn, everyone looked at them with curious eyes. Last year, neither of them participated in the sumr harvest. This year, both of them are in good health and have no excuse to skip work.
Han Yuheng saw them and asked, "Brother Chenmo, will your wife and children also join the sumr harvest this year?"
Li Chenmo shook his head and said, "No, my wife is too weak to do field work."
"What about Dong Li? He is already 11 years old and is strong enough to work in the fields," the vice-captain asked.
Considering Dong Li's young age, Lu Jueyu didn't want him to work in the field. But before she could speak, Li Chenmo said, "He should be able to work. Vice-captain, please add his na."
Hearing this, the vice-captain nodded and said, "Although he is young, everyone is having a hard ti. So, if possible, he should start working. We should not set a bad example for the children."
Lu Jueyu frowned slightly when she heard this but held her words back. She knew that there were children younger than Dong Li who had already started working in the fields. If she made an exception for Dong Li, she would definitely be criticized, and she might even be labeled as one of the five black categories.
Therefore, she could only remain silent until she left the village hall. Along the way, the villagers who knew that Dong Li would work in the fields looked at them with various gazes.
On the way ho, they even heard so villagers say bad things about them, saying that they adopted Dong Li and Dong Huang so they could earn work points for them.
Neither Li Chenmo nor Lu Jueyu took these words to heart, but when Dong Li and Dong Huang were walking back from school, they were stopped by a group of villagers.
When a group of villagers saw them, one of them said, "Dong Li, do you know that you will have to work in the fields during the sumr harvest this year?"
Hearing this, Dong Li and Dong Huang were both excited. Since they were adopted, their adoptive parents have not allowed them to help much at ho. The best they can do is water the vegetable gardens in the morning.
Whenever they finish their howork and want to help around the house, their mother asks them to go out and play with their friends. Said they should enjoy their childhood.
While they are happy to receive the love of their adoptive parents, they also feel guilty that they cannot provide help. So when they heard they could help earn work points, they were ecstatic.
They can finally do sothing for their parents and no longer beco a burden to them. But the next words from the villagers instantly extinguished their joy.
"Oh, I already know that Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo had so ulterior motives when they adopted these children. Now everyone finally believes , right?"
Another villager nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Lu Jueyu adopted these children just to earn work points for her. What a cunning woman!"
Hearing this, a young woman said, "Auntie, everyone knows how cunning she is. If she hadn't trapped Brother Li back then, would Brother Li have married her? So, if she adopted these children out of selfishness, that would not be surprising."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Huang bent down and grabbed a handful of soil. She ran up to the woman and threw dirt on her.
The young woman was caught off guard and exclaid, "Ah, what are you doing?!"
