For rural people, the way to earn money..,
Was basically the only way to earn work points.
Work points, other than being used as the basis for distributing food, if the harvest was good that year, at the end of the year, the villagers could also receive dividends from the production team based on the total work points.
Generally..,
The highest work points a day for a regular laborer was ten points,
And those who could earn "top ten points" must be people who could plow, fertilize, and apply medicine, harvest, and plant crops all year round.
In a production team, other than the production captain, the plow operator, and the plant conservator, who could get "top ten points",
There were very few regular laborers who could get "top ten points" per job,
Most farmers' work points a day were between eight and nine points, and women were even more so because of physical strength,
The highest work points were only between five and six points.
And how much was a work point worth?
Under normal circumstances..,
A work point was only worth five or six cents,
According to this work point..,
The daily value of a regular laborer in the countryside..,
Was only fifty cents.
One could imagine how difficult it was to earn a hundred yuan.
Zhao Xiuzhen, who was following behind old Madam Zhou, did not pay attention to old Madam Zhou's expression. All her attention was attracted by the pile of colorful notes in old Madam Zhou's hands.
Mother-in-law had actually saved so much money!
This was Zhao Xiuzhen's first thought.
This matter must not be known by the second branch!
This was Zhao Xiuzhen's second thought.
There was no need to think about deducting the money from Mother-in-law's hands for herself. Mother-in-law was not a vegetarian, but she could let her sons think of ways to deduct some money from Mother-in-law's hands for them. Especially Yize. He was already at the age of studying, but Mother-in-law was crying about being poor, saying that it was already difficult for the family's money to support Yijie. They really could not afford to support Yize. To think that she and Guoqiang believed Mother-in-law's nonsense!
She would go back and discuss with Guoqiang to see if she could think of a way to persuade Mother-in-law to send Yize to school.
This was Zhao Xiuzhen's third thought.
While Zhao Xiuzhen was thinking, old Madam Zhou carefully put all the money in her hands back into the cloth bag that was originally filled with money. After stuffing the cloth bag into the wide pocket under her shirt, she turned around and prepared to teach Gu Nuan a lesson.
However, she was blocked by Zhao Xiuzhen, who was immersed in her beautiful fantasy.
If it was any other time, old Madam Zhou might be nice and ask Zhao Xiuzhen to get out of the Zhou family. After all, Zhao Xiuzhen's contribution, for the sake of her grandson, she had to give Zhao Xiuzhen..............................................................................................................................................
.................................
. Zhao Xiuzhen was caught off guard. His balance was broken by the external force and he fell to the right.
Old Madam Zhou took a step forward and walked out of the space that Zhao Xiuzhen vacated.
Gu Nuan was holding Zhou Yiyang's hand as they walked out of the room. He suddenly caught a glimpse of old Madam Zhou aggressively walking towards him. He stopped and coldly looked at old Madam Zhou.
Looking at old Madam Zhou's taut face, Zhou Yiyang was a little scared. He remembered the past when old Madam Zhou used to hit him with a broom. He wished he could turn around and hide far away from old Madam Zhou.
But his mother... Zhou Yiyang lifted his eyelids and secretly glanced at Gu Nuan's face. When he saw that his mother didn't seem to want to leave, he was nervous and disappointed. He hung his head.
Old Madam Zhou met Gu Nuan's cold eyes. She didn't know why, but the scene at the door suddenly appeared in her mind.
Old Madam Zhou unconsciously stopped walking.
She was so frightened that she felt like all the cells in her body were trembling. She also felt like she was drowning in water. She still had lingering fears and didn't dare to act blindly without thinking.
An old thing who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
Gu Nuan sneered coldly and mockingly. He held Zhou Yiyang's hand and went out to wash up.
After leaving the room, Zhou Yiyang, whose heart had been tense for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief.
Even though Zhao Xiuzhen didn't fall heavily, he unfortunately twisted his waist. After lying on the ground for a while, Zhao Xiuzhen cried out, "Aiyo!" and supported his twisted waist to stand up.
Old Madam Zhou gloomily watched as Gu Nuan held Zhou Yiyang's hand and swaggered out of the room. Suddenly, she heard Zhao Xiuzhen's groan. She immediately turned around and vented the anger that she didn't dare to vent on Gu Nuan on Zhao Xiuzhen. "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you taking advantage of the fact that it's still early to go harvest the pigweed in the back of the mountain!"
Last year's harvest was pretty good. The harvest in the fields was pretty good. After the public ration was distributed, each family received more food. The Zhou Family was no exception.
It's just that, although they got more food last year, old Madam Zhou didn't plan to use the extra food for her family to eat. Her idea was — — didn't they get through it when they didn't get so much food before?
Thus, at the beginning of the year, they added an extra pig to consume the extra food.
In addition to the one they originally planned to raise, the Zhou Family raised a total of two pigs this year.
Even though old Madam Zhou treasured the two pigs in the family, she never cared about feeding the pigs. This was because this job was given to "Gu Nuan". "Gu Nuan" was an honest person. He always did things meticulously and never played tricks. Even though old Madam Zhou didn't like "Gu Nuan", she trusted him to do things.
However, for some reason, Gu Nuan didn't go harvest the pigweed this morning.
Old Madam Zhou was very angry. She wanted to teach Gu Nuan a lesson for wasting time fooling around instead of working. However, she didn't plan on letting Gu Nuan go harvest the pigweed.
This was because it would be time to go to work soon. What Gu Nuan should do now was to hurry up and make breakfast so that they could fill their stomachs before going to work.
Thus, old Madam Zhou directly called for Zhao Xiuzhen to harvest the pigweed.
In any case, the eldest daughter-in-law had been following her around the whole morning. She was very leisurely, so she found something for her to do.
Zhao Xiuzhen secretly regretted it.
Harvesting the pigweed wasn't as good as feeding the chickens and sweeping the floor in the past!
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have followed her mother-in-law — — no, if she hadn't followed her mother-in-law, she wouldn't have found out that her mother-in-law had saved so much money!
If she suffered a small loss, then she suffered a small loss.
Zhao Xiuzhen quickly adjusted his mood. His gaze quietly slipped past old Madam Zhou's pocket that was filled with money. Then, he obediently left the room.
When she was the only one left in the room, old Madam Zhou felt the bulging money in her pocket through the outer layer of her pocket. She was a bit worried.
Where should she put the money?
Before last night, the place that old Madam Zhou was most at ease to hide the money was her own room.
If she hid the money in her own room, when she didn't go out, she would either be in the room or guarding the room. This money wouldn't disappear from under her eyes, right?
