"Repair the road? What's going on? Why are they suddenly repairing the road?"

"I don't know. There was no notice or anything before."

"Yeah, why are we going to build a road without any preparation?"

"Maybe it's because the road in our village is too dilapidated."

"That's true. Every time I go out on that bullock cart, I always get sick from the shaking."

"It's time to fix it."

Chen Mingchang held the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Be quiet and listen to me."

"Alright, alright, stop talking and listen to what the captain has to say."

Everyone fell silent and looked at Chen Mingchang,

Chen Mingchang said: "Because this time the road is built from the entrance of our village to the town, a total of 21 miles, and the requirement is to try to complete it within one month, so our village will need about 30 young and strong people."

"Is there anyone in our village who volunteers?" Chen Mingchang finished speaking.

Everyone bowed their heads.

"We have to repair 20 miles of land in this month. How long will it take every day? This kind of work is really exhausting."

"Not really. Besides, the weather is very hot and the sun is very bright."

"Yeah, we won't go there. It's better to get a few more work points every day."

Seeing that everyone was shrinking from the task, Chen Mingchang raised the loudspeaker again and said, "The daily wage is five yuan, and every household that completes the task ahead of schedule and provides labor will be rewarded with ten yuan."

The words fell.

"Me, me, me, me"

"Captain, I'm here."

"This way, Captain, I'm strong."

"Hey, Uncle Chen, my son can go. My son will go."

"My son too, let's sign up."

"It's not that I want money, but I think this is our village's business after all, and we should contribute our part."

"That's right. It doesn't matter whether there's money or not. We'll do it even if you don't pay us."

"Yes, repairing the road is good for us, right?"

"That's it."

"Yes, I think so too. I'll sign up my man as well."

"Yes, yes, let's all be more positive."

"Captain, isn't thirty too few? How about fifty?"

"Yes, Captain, we think thirty is too few. It's twenty miles away."

The captain felt ashamed when he saw the people below whose attitudes were completely opposite to his just now.

"Everyone, listen to me first."

"Don't make any noise, just listen to what the captain says."

"Yes, yes, don't make noise."

Don't miss it, in case they charge more.

"We only need 30 young and strong men this time. Anyone who thinks they are strong and can do physical work can sign up. I have to make it clear here that we have to work from morning to night, and we have to do it within a month, so we may have to extend the daily working hours at any time.

It is currently scheduled from 7am to 6pm, with a one-hour break in between.

The daily wage is five yuan. If you think it is acceptable, then go to the village chief to sign up.

There is also another requirement for registration, which is that the average daily work points must be above seven points. "

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of discussion below.

The captain and his team roughly counted the scores at the scorer's place and found that there were very few who scored more than eight points.

So we decided to set it at 7 points.

"Seven points? I work so hard all day and only get six points."

"Look at you, you've been lazy all day long, and now you can't even eat a hot mouthful of shit."

"My son can do it. He is very strong and can grow 8 to 9 centimeters a day. I will sign him up right away."

"My man can do it, too."

"I, I can also get 7 centimeters every day."

Suddenly, a crowd of people gathered and pressed towards the village chief.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished what I want to say." The captain said again.

"You can sign up, but there is one thing. The daily workload is so limited. If the work cannot be completed or someone is found to be cutting corners, then we have to replace them. And if the progress is delayed, the wages will be reduced by half."

After the captain finished speaking, those who were just thinking about signing up suddenly became hesitant.

However, there are still quite a few people who sign up.

The captain watched from the side.

A man in his fifties came up and said, "Write it for me."

"Uncle Agui, why are you here to join in the fun?" Chen Mingchang said helplessly.

Uncle Gui said, "What's wrong? My work points are also eight points a day."

"That was many years ago. Five centimeters a day is already enough for you. Besides, you are well aware of the situation between you and Aunt Gui. What would Aunt Gui do if something happened?"

After that, Aunt Agui appeared and said, "You old man, why can't I see you? Why are you here to join in the fun? It's hard for you to even carry half a bag of rice. Why are you repairing the road?"

Then Aunt Agui twisted Uncle Agui's ear and left.

There were quite a lot of people signing up at once.

"Brother Qin, let's sign up too. It's five yuan a day, which means ten yuan a day. We can buy several packs of Daqianmen." Liang Rengui was very tempted.

But Liang Rengui was idle every day and hardly worked except when he was with Qin Si.

Where does the average of seven work points come from?

But Qin Si was different. He earned ten work points every day without fail.

"No." Qin Si said firmly, without any hesitation.

His eyes wandered around, as if looking for something.

"Aren't you tempted at all? That's five dollars. This salary is much higher than what you get in town."

Liang Rengui was puzzled. He saw that Qin Si was short of money before, so why didn't he go this time when he had money?

Qin Si looked for a long time but didn't see what he wanted to see, so he lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I'm leaving."

Qin Si prepared to leave.

Liang Rengui immediately chased after him

"Hey, Brother Qin, wait for me. If you don't go, then I won't go either."

The main reason was that he couldn't go anyway.

"By the way, why do we suddenly have to build a road? But it's good to build a road." Liang Rengui chattered in Qin Si's ear.

"But, Brother Qin, I heard that the educated youth Shen from the educated youth institute found a job at a newspaper in town. If the road is built, it will be very convenient for Shen. Shen also bought a 28-bar truck, which is very impressive."

Qin Si paused, "What did you say?"

"What did you say?" Liang Rengui looked at Qin Si's sudden serious expression, somewhat confused.

"What did you just say happened to the Youth Institute?"

"Oh, you're talking about this, Brother Qin, you may not know this, but Shen Zhiqing bought a bicycle, it was so impressive, everyone in the village was extremely envious, so I went to ask around, and I heard that Shen Zhiqing found a job at a newspaper, and he will have to go to the newspaper more often from now on."

After listening, Qin Si turned around and went back to the threshing ground.

"Brother Qin, where are you going?" Liang Rengui immediately followed behind him.

Qin Si remained silent, but went straight back to the threshing ground and registered with the village chief.
