Baigu looked at his younger siblings with gentle and doting eyes.

After talking about the business, Yu Min said goodbye: "Brother Bai, let's make an agreement. We will come to you after dinner tomorrow after work."

Bai Gu simply nodded: "Okay."

"Then let's go first. See you tomorrow."

"Ah."

The two left Bai Gu's home. Liu Feng hesitated and asked, "Yu Zhiqing, did you want Bai Gu to teach you how to swim and catch the sea from the beginning?"

This is natural.

However, she didn't say that.

Yu Min said half truthfully: "I have some ideas in my mind, but I am still hesitating. After all, I am not very familiar with him. I went to Bai Gu's house with you just now and saw that he seemed unwilling to accept our unprovoked kindness. I I didn’t think so much at the moment and just said it.”

Liu Feng had no doubt: "Oh, so that's it~"

A night without dreams.

She got up at 2:6 in the morning the next day. The time to start work is at 8 o'clock. Today's first day is over. The team leader assigns work. Not only to leave a good impression, but at least not to be late.

By seven-twenty, she was almost done.

I made a cup of milk powder and ate two chicken cakes.

She was in a team with Zhang Lanfang. Seeing that her door was open, she prepared to go over and ask her to set off together.

Seeing her pale face, Yu Min looked worried: "Sister Lanfang, why do you look so bad? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Lanfang forced out a smile and waved her hand: "No, it's me."

Yu Min suddenly realized.

She suggested: "Then do you want me to ask for leave for you?"

Zhang Lanfang shook his head: "No need, the corn and rice have been harvested, and the peanuts in the fields have been dug up. I just pick peanuts these days, it's not tiring."

Her family's financial situation is average, so she relies on her work points to survive.

The work points of Baijiaping Brigade are quite valuable. One work point is 1 cent per year. Her 8 work points a day is 8 cents. If you work full time, 360 days a year is 288 yuan.

Of course, she couldn't get so much money.

Because her rations were distributed by the team, she needed to use her work points to deduct these.

Furthermore, she can't get full attendance, let alone 8 work points every day. After one year, she can have 50 yuan in pocket money.

50 yuan is divided into a year, which is only five yuan a month.

How dare she use it more.

Among the five old educated youths, three male educated youths can get 5 work points, which is the same as the strong laborers in the brigade. She thought to herself that she had worked hard, but she was still not as good as Wang Shuxia, who could only earn 10 work points a day.

The team's work score is divided into ten points and ten days.

An hour is a minute.

You said, then I can work as a foreigner?

how is this possible.

The team leader has full work points and is responsible for supervision. If you are lazy, your work points will be deducted.

The Baijiaping brigade has more work to do than the inland production brigade, so it can earn more work points. There is no need to worry about not having enough work to do and not earning more work points.

Because it's close to the sea.

In addition to normal farming work, the team also has a fishing team that goes to sea every day and catches fish and sends them to the commune's icehouse. After the annual tasks are completed, the remaining fish are converted into money and distributed to each brigade.

With good luck, the entire team will benefit this year.

Of course, those who benefit the most belong to the members of the fishing team.

It's not the most popular, though.

Because going to sea is risky.

Closer to home.

After Yu Min heard this, he didn't persuade him any more.

Arrived at the meeting point.

Yu Min glanced at his watch. It was only 7:45.

There are already many people working in the fields. Bai Guomin, the captain of the first team, was standing straight at the edge of the field, patrolling with a serious look on his face. When he saw the two of them, he didn't talk nonsense.

Although most of the crops have been harvested.

However, the corn stalks have not been pulled out and the rice stalks are still piled in the ground, and they all need to be collected. At the same time, the harvested land needs to be plowed again to avoid clumping, which will make it difficult to cultivate in the next year. Finally, plant ash is used as fertilizer.

Bai Guomin took out his notebook and registered under Zhang Lanfang's name, then looked at Yu Min: "Your name is Yu Min, which Yu, which Min?"

Yu Min replied: "Those who have a surplus of food every year are smart."

Grandma said she was a loser and had a surplus; but my mother said that she had a surplus every year and had a surplus.

Bai Guomin nodded clearly: "I understand."

After writing it down, he raised his head and ordered: "Zhang Lanfang, you are an old educated youth, bring some educated youth with you and pick peanuts with her."

Zhang Lanfang held her stomach, her voice was a little weak, and nodded: "Okay, captain."

Bai Guomin waved his hand: "Well, go ahead."

In this way, Yu Min followed Zhang Lanfang to the brigade headquarters. Outside was a grain drying field, which was now filled with peanut stalks like a hill. There were already seven or eight aunts sitting there picking peanuts.

Yu Min also knew one of them.

It was Aunt Zhao Ju.

She also happened to see the two of them, and immediately raised a warm and friendly smile and waved her hand: "Lan Fang, Yu Zhiqing, you are here."

The two greeted each other:

"Auntie."

"Aunt Zhao Ju."

Naturally, he sat next to Aunt Zhao Ju.

Zhang Lanfang is in the middle, Yu Min is on her right, next to an unknown middle-aged aunt.

On the way just now, Zhang Lanfang said that picking peanuts is not the task of a certain team, but that all the peanuts are harvested, and a team arranges two people to pick peanuts together.

After all, there are not a few peanuts grown in Baijiaping.

The wet weight is at least 5000 kilograms, and a total of ten acres of land were planted.

This is a popular job.

Not only is it not tiring, but you can also hide some in private while picking peanuts and take them back.

Generally, the team members who pick peanuts every year are women, and they take turns. However, except for a small team of Bai Guomin, other teams will not let educated youths do it.

Bai Guomin is a well-known member of the team for his integrity and selflessness.

It is worth mentioning that he is also Bai Gu's uncle and a bamboo craftsman in the brigade. He lives next door to Li Guozhu's family.

Yu Min has never done farm work.

Although you can sit down to pick peanuts, you still need to get rid of the mud on the peanuts. Many of them are dry, which is quite labor-intensive. Within an hour, her hands were red and swollen.

The other aunties did it quickly and easily.

At the same time, there is still energy to chat.

Yu Min didn't talk much at first, but now he was too tired to speak, and the speed of picking peanuts had slowed down visibly.

Zhang Lanfang felt uncomfortable in her stomach and had no energy to speak.

Suddenly, she panicked in the direction of Yu Min. Yu Min was alarmed. When he looked over, he saw Zhang Lanfang sweating profusely and looking very painful.

Yu Min quickly supported her: "Are you okay? Why don't you take a leave and go back to rest."

The other four people also looked over.

Aunt Zhao Ju looked concerned: "What's going on?"

Yu Min explained vaguely: "She has an upset stomach."

The four of them understood it instantly.

Aunt Zhao Ju hurriedly touched here and there on her body: "Oh, if I had known I had brought a candy, it would have been much better to have something sweet."

Hearing this, Yu Min's heart moved.

Zhang Lanfang calmed down for a while and was no longer stubborn. She nodded to Yu Min: "Okay, Minmin, I'll take it easy for a while. Please help me back later."

"no problem."

Yu Min handed her a White Rabbit toffee: "Hurry up and have a candy."

The packaging of White Rabbit toffee in 2023 is the same as that in 1969, so there is no need to worry about the filling being exposed.
