Chapter 1133 Pinkeye
Taking a look at Zhou Mingxuan and Liu Jingxue who were picking food for each other, Zhao Junhao shook his head. The sour smell of love had changed his brother, who never approached lesbians, into something new.
However, he had seen this scene many times and was used to it.
Picking up his favorite dishes, Zhao Junhao suggested, thinking of the conversation of the villagers he overheard today.
"Xiaoxue, there isn't much work to do in the fields this month, so why don't you work all day? Just work half a day and rest half a day like before, or work one day and rest one day.
You have plenty of time and money, so there's no need to work so hard."
He did not hide anything and told what he had overheard, but he did not specify who said it.
"Looking at the current income of the production team's breeding farm, by the end of the year, our production team's work points will be worth a lot of money, probably three times as much.
Last year, one work point in our production team was worth 32 cents.
It has tripled this year, almost one dollar per work point.
When the money is distributed at the end of the year, you will definitely get a lot of money based on your work points.
Although you have made great contributions to the production team, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous of you." Zhao Junhao reminded.
Liu Jingxue frowned when she heard this. She had not considered this before.
Before this, the team leader found her and told her that the production team was short of staff and asked her if she could do more work in the future and if she could stop working half a day and resting half a day during the non-autumn harvest period.
Considering that she would not be too tired if she worked half a day longer, and that the scale of breeding in the production team had expanded several times and the number of people was indeed insufficient, Liu Jingxue agreed.
It was fine in the past, because there was a lot of work and not enough manpower, and the villagers were worried that they would not be able to handle it, so they had no objection to the 20 work points a day.
But nowadays there is not much work to do, and people can finish the work by themselves and earn their work points. This is indeed not good for those who rely on work points to save money.
After listening to Zhao Junhao's story, Zhou Mingxuan also frowned and advised,
“Xiaoxue, how about we not work for another day and a half and take a half-day break.
It was like that before because the production team was indeed short of people, and we had to do so at the request of the team leader.
There isn't much work to do in the fields right now, and the production team has enough manpower to handle it, so you don't need to work so hard."
"Why don't you just stop working and have a good rest at home.
When the autumn harvest begins, I’m afraid it will be more tiring than before because we don’t have as much manpower as before.”
Liu Jingxue thought about it. It was only August and the autumn harvest had not started yet. The work points she had accumulated this year were not much different from last year.
During the autumn harvest, I could earn thirty or forty work points a day.
The autumn harvest lasts for more than a month. When it is over, my work points this year will probably be nearly double that of last year.
If they get more work points, other people in the production team will get less work points, which will make some villagers feel unhappy.
After all, work points mean money, and most of the money earned by the farm is distributed based on work points.
I am not short of money, so there is really no need to compete with the villagers for work points and thus their money.
But it seems a bit too boring to rest at home all day without going to work.
After all, I have already watched all the movies, TV series, variety shows, and novels stored in the space. Some of them have been watched several times and I really don’t want to watch them again.
It’s better to go back to the previous working method to kill time.
"Then I will tell the team leader tomorrow that from tomorrow until the autumn harvest, I will still work half a day and rest half a day as before."
"Why don't you just stop working for a while and rest at home," Zhou Mingxuan suggested.
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "It's better not to.
It's too boring to stay at home without working all day.
It’s better to work half a day and rest half a day.
I don’t want to make medicine or research prescriptions during this period. I will go to the mountains to pick some mountain products and dry them in the sun, and then prepare firewood for the winter.”
She lowered her voice and said, "When I have time, I'll go in and see if I can find some high-year ginseng."
Now that we have health-preserving pills, the elders no longer need to drink ginseng wine to nourish their bodies, but as they love wine, they still can’t avoid drinking.
Drinking alcohol can harm your body, but drinking ginseng wine is less harmful to your body than drinking ordinary wine.
Last winter, when making ginseng wine, Liu Jingxue did not use 500-year-old ginseng, but instead used ginseng of a younger age.
After all, considering the current physical condition of our elders, ginseng that is more than 500 years old is really too nutritious.
If you take too much tonic, it will be like taking poison.
It is better to have some high-grade ginseng in your hand than to have nothing at all.
Liu Jingxue said this because she wanted to prepare an excuse in advance for when she would need to take out high-aged ginseng in the future.
Mr. Wu said indifferently, "As long as you take care of yourself, you can make your own decisions on other matters."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Not to mention me, even Brother Mingxuan and Brother Zhao, as long as they are careful, the deep mountains now are not dangerous at all for them."
Ever since the two of them started dating, Liu Jingxue changed the way she addressed them at the request of Mr. Wu and Zhou Mingxuan.
Liu Jingxue was not lying. Last winter, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao took Lightning with them and went deep into the mountains often.
Since the beginning of spring this year, the meat they used daily was obtained by the two men and one wolfhound who went into the mountains.
Since it was not hunted by herself, Liu Jingxue could not replace it with meat produced in the space, so she could only put more spiritual spring water into the water tank every time she came.
After finishing his business, Zhao Junhao took a mouthful of rice and began to care about the lightning that he had not seen since last night.
"Which farm should Lightning be guarding tonight? I'll go bring him food later."
Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "On my way back from work, I met the militia and they took Lightning away directly.
I don’t know where they asked Lightning to guard today.”
In fact, Liu Jingxue knew it as soon as she used her spiritual sense, but she couldn't say it, so she could only say that she didn't know.
"Then I'll take the food I left for it and visit the various farms.
The food they prepared must not have much oil or water, and Lightning would not be used to it." Zhao Junhao said.
He really loved Lightning. If he could defeat Liu Jingxue, he would have thought about taking Lightning for himself more than once.
Liu Jingxue naturally would be happy to have someone help take care of Lightning.
To be honest, since she went to Lingyuan last year, she couldn't take Lightning with her openly, so she entrusted him to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao. Since then, when Lightning was not in the space, it was basically these two people who took care of him.
Liu Jingxue has actually never taken care of Lightning all along, which has caused Lightning, when not possessed by Tuanzi, to become closer to Zhou Mingxuan, Zhao Junhao, and even Old Wu.
"Okay, then I'll leave the task of delivering food to Lightning to you." Liu Jingxue was not polite at all.
Ever since the team leader arranged for people to patrol several farms at night and actually caught someone from another village who sneaked into the village at night to cause damage, Lightning from Liu Jingxue's family and Huzi from Uncle Ji's family were requisitioned.
When Liu Jingxue went to work during the day, Tuanzi would possess Lightning, keep watch outside, and work with Liu Jingxue.
At night, Lightning would be taken away by the militia, and either patrol with them or guard a farm.
Of course, the lightning at this time was not possessed by Tuanzi.
After all, Tuanzi cannot leave Liu Jingxue's area within 20 meters.
Although he is not Tuanzi, Lightning was raised on spiritual food and diluted spiritual spring water, and his intelligence is unmatched by other dogs.
He is more humane than Huzi from Uncle Ji's family and is quite popular among the people in the production team.
Lightning lived up to everyone's expectations. After it took charge of the farm, it caught several people who wanted to do bad things.
Without exception, these people were jealous of the Red Star Production Team and wanted to secretly poison the poultry in the farm, or steal them and sell them for money, or they wanted to find out the secret of why the Red Star Production Team raised poultry so well.
Whenever these people were caught, they were severely beaten up by the villagers and sent to the town’s public security bureau.
No matter who comes to plead, it's useless.
In fact, the team leader knew very well that behind these people, there must be a few other production team cadres who were jealous of them.
Don't think he didn't see it. Every time they came and saw the farms of the Red Star Production Team, and heard him report the profits of the Red Star Production Team to the commune cadres, they looked jealous and hateful.
Thanks to Lightning, everyone in the production team now looks up to it and feeds it whenever they see it.
But the one who followed Liu Jingxue during the day was Lightning who was possessed by Tuanzi. It looked down on the things the villagers fed it and was so aloof.
The villagers' joy of feeding the animals can only be experienced in the evening or at night.
