Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

"Some people are lucky enough to have people help with the work even if they don't have to work. Unlike us, people still have to earn work points when they are not feeling well." A strange female voice sounded outside the Educated Youth Home.

The speaker's name is Wang Yanni. Because the original owner is liked by the villagers, Wang Yanni has always disliked the original owner, and she usually has a lot of yin and yang in her. Today, the original owner suffered a heat stroke and was replaced by Lin Jiu. The captain gave Lin Jiu half a day off. Logically speaking, he would not have any work points in the afternoon. But the original owner was so good-natured that all the girls and boys in the village liked her, so even if Lin Jiu didn't work in the afternoon, the people in the village would do her share of the work for her and record her work points in her account. In the name of Lin Jiu, this made Wang Yanni even more angry.

It is difficult for the educated youth who go to the countryside to integrate into the local area due to some of their own reasons, and the villagers in the village do not like the educated youth very much. They think that the educated youth are here to steal food from them. In addition, when these educated youth first went to the countryside, they could not carry anything with their hands or shoulders. , but they still like to point fingers at others and report them at every turn. There are also idlers who secretly kill and eat the villagers' chickens and ducks. It can be said that if there were no policies here, the villagers would have driven these educated youths away long ago.

There are those who are not popular, and naturally there are those who are popular. Just like the original owner, although she is also a girl in the city, she is not like other educated youths in the city. He works hard, studies hard even if he doesn't know how to do it, and he respects people very much. Getting along with such a person gives people a comfortable feeling. The key is that the original owner has a good handle on the world of people and sophistication. With such a temperament, he will naturally Eat well in the village.

"If you are envious, you can try not to go to work tomorrow and see if anyone can help you." Lin Jiu said lightly.

"Lin Jiu, you are heating water again." Wang Yanni came out of the kitchen carrying a box of cold porridge.

"It's burned, what, is there a problem?"

"Why is there no problem? It's such a hot day now. If you wash it with cold water, you will die. If you are so good at boiling water, you can't do it if you don't pick up the firewood!"

Lin Jiu glanced at Wang Yanni mockingly, "Wang Yanni, do you want me to help you recall who picked up these firewood? And do you want to break off your fingers to see how many times you picked up firewood this year? ?”

Wang Yanni's face turned red and white.

"Liu Zhiqing, Yang Zhiqing, I left hot water in the pot for you. Although it is more comfortable to take a cold bath in summer, taking a bath with warm water is better for the body." Lin Jiu said to Liu Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing with a smile.

"Okay, thank you!"

"By the way, I brewed some patchouli tea. It's cool now. It tastes good to me and relieves the heat. You can drink some later too. I also dried some in the afternoon. Remember to brew it tomorrow."

"Are you looking for mint and honeysuckle this afternoon?"

"Well, I also planted a few trees in front of the Educated Youth Point, so I don't have to look around for them next year."

Everyone had porridge in the evening. The porridge was mung bean porridge cooked at noon. Now it is cool and goes down just right.

After dinner, Lin Jiu ignored Wang Yanni who was sulking beside him. After washing his own dishes, he took a book and started reading in the room.

"Lighting the lamp so early, kerosene is free!" Wang Yanni started yelling again when she saw Lin Jiu lighting the kerosene lamp.

"Use your oil, or do you live by the sea and have such lenient control?"

Nowadays, there is no electricity in the village, and kerosene and tung oil are used for lighting. For tung oil, you only need to pick up tung oil seeds from the mountains and send them to the oil press for pressing. To buy kerosene, you need industrial coupons, which may not be available.

Although the original owner's parents were sent to the Qiwu Cadre School in Fenjiang, they would send some tickets to the original owner every one or two months. The original owner also liked to read books at night. In winter, burning a fire in the fire room can both keep warm and Since it can provide lighting, there is no need to light the lamp early, but it is so hot in summer that we can't light a fire in the pit, otherwise it will cause people to die from the heat.

So on summer evenings, the original owner would light a kerosene lamp to read, and other educated youths would naturally follow suit.

"Comrade Wang Yanni, you don't need to stay here now. If you can't sleep, you can go sit in the courtyard. Last night when Comrade Lin Jiu lit the lamp, didn't you also sit in front of me and read a book. This person should not pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl. Just scolding your mother, taking advantage of everyone, and at the same time blaming others in a high-sounding way. People like you are really hypocritical and disgusting."

Shen Qinghai was holding a kerosene lamp and was about to enter the fire house when he heard Wang Yanni's words and immediately responded.

"Shen Qinghai, who are you calling hypocritical?" Wang Yanni suddenly became angry.

"Didn't you hear clearly? Then let me say it again. People like you are really hypocritical and disgusting." Shen Qinghai repeated what he just said before walking into the table and lighting the oil lamp in his hand. The two oil lamps suddenly The room was brightened up, and other educated youths also entered the room with books and small stools.

Wang Yanni prides herself on being a quality city dweller. She has always been pretentious and looked down on the original owner's ability to get along with the villagers. While she looked down on the original owner in her heart, she also took advantage of the original owner and other educated youths. Those who were more educated youths had long disliked her, and now that they had the opportunity, they would naturally not be polite to her.

On the second day, Lin Jiu went to work with everyone after breakfast. Today's work was the same as yesterday, still weeding the corn fields. The pulled grass was piled together. Naturally, someone would transport them out and wash the soil before taking them away. Feed the cows.

The brigade raised two oxen and hired the widowed Aunt Chun from the village to herd and feed the cows. They were given 700 work points a year. This was regarded as the brigade's care for the orphans and widowed mothers. After all, the family had no breadwinner and there were three or four others below. With a half-year-old child, the family would not starve to death just by relying on Aunt Chun's work points.

In the morning, when the weather was not too hot, Lin Jiu hurriedly pulled out the grass on the piece of land assigned to him by the squad leader. After asking the team leader to check, Lin Jiu went to Aunt Zhang's field next to her and helped Aunt Zhang pull weeds. Aunt Zhang was the aunt who scraped Lin Jiu yesterday. After Lin Jiu left yesterday, the grass belonging to her own field Aunt Zhang also brought several aunts to help with the work, and the work points were recorded on her head. Naturally, she had to return the work today.

"Lin Zhiqing, you did the job very quickly today. I told you not to work so hard. No matter how hard you work, your work points will not be considered full marks." Aunt Zhang said in a low voice.

"Aunt Zhang, I know. It's not like yesterday when you worked for me. Today I can't give you back all your work!" Lin Jiu responded with a smile while pulling weeds.

"It's just a simple matter, so it doesn't deserve such meticulous attention from you."
