The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "We need stones to build the stove. We have a lot of them on the southern slope. I will take you there to move them. There are also mud blocks, which are made of clay dug from the ravines and rivers. We will also lead the way. Let's prepare all the materials first."

So they have to move the stones and make the clay bricks themselves?

Fang Qing glanced at the two boys.

Yin Jiandong asked: "How do you make clay blocks?"

Xing Qingsheng smiled and said, "Making clay blocks is simple and you can learn it in no time. I will teach you later."

"What about building a stove?" Shi Zhiguo asked.

"It's not difficult. You'll learn it after a little study." Yang Aijun interjected.

Xie Chengzhi ended the topic and asked, "Who will be the leaders of your two groups?"

Fang Qing immediately said, "The female educated youth is me, and the male educated youth is Shi Zhiguo."

Xie Chengzhi nodded and said to the two of them, "Starting the day after tomorrow, you will all participate in production labor. I will introduce our production tasks here. At present, the task of our educated youth team is to pick fruits on the mountain at 5 o'clock in the morning. Each person's task is 100 kilograms. The team will provide meals in the morning, and then we will switch to harvesting sunflower cakes. There is also a designated task volume. Completing it will be full work points for the day."

"Five... going up the mountain at five o'clock?" Fang Qing was a little surprised.

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "That is to say, we have to go up the mountain at dawn. You don't know the way, so come to the front yard to gather the day after tomorrow morning, and we will go together."

"As for picking fruits, you can only pick fruits that are ripe and in good condition. You cannot pick them randomly just to complete the task, otherwise your work points will be deducted." Chen Danqing interrupted and added, "I will check the quality."

Fang Qing glanced at him. She didn't remember his name, but knew he was not the leader of any group. She asked, "Why are you in charge?"

"Chen Danqing Chen Zhiqing is a staff member of the brigade. He is responsible for all the writing work of the brigade. He is also responsible for this part of the management work." Zhu Xiaomin saw the disapproval in her eyes and introduced Chen Danqing first.

Fang Qing was a little surprised: "Why do the men go to the brigade headquarters to work in the office, while the women go to the mountains to work? Are you going too?"

Miao Shiwen nodded: "We will go too, but Xiaomin and Xiaoya will help Wenming check the quality of the fruit, and Qiaomei and I will record the people who go to work."

Fang Qing looked at him with a frown: "But we have to pick 100 kilograms of fruit?"

Miao Shiwen replied: "The educated youth went to the countryside to work. The orchard is the mission forest of the educated youth team. Xiaomin opened up the sales channels, and the management in between is naturally us."

Fang Qing immediately said, "Now we are also members of the educated youth team, can we manage it together with you?"

Miao Shiwen nodded: "We will need more people later, and we will select them based on their performance and labor performance."

Fang Qing curled her lips: "That means you can take the easy jobs and leave the dirty and heavy work to us."

Is this woman here to go to the countryside or to get married?

Yang Aijun couldn't help but said, "Xie Chengzhi and Chen Danqing are working in the brigade headquarters here. They have already earned full work points. Zhu Xiaomin and Wang Xiaoya don't need to earn work points. They go up the mountain just to lend a hand in order to better complete the production task."

"Why don't Zhu Xiaomin and Wang Xiaoya need to earn work points?" Fang Qing opened her eyes wide.

"Zhu Xiaomin will be returning to the city to work soon. Wang Xiaoya recommended her to go to university, and she will report in a few days." Miao Shiwen briefly explained the situation.

"Back to the city?" Cao Liqing's attention was immediately diverted, and her eyes were fixed on Zhu Xiaomin. She asked in surprise, "Zhu Zhiqing is going back to the city? Are they looking for work?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "About the same."

Fang Qing looked at her and brought the topic back to the topic: "Why let male educated youth do the writing work? This is unreasonable. They are all educated youth, and they have all been educated. Shouldn't such work be given to female educated youth?"

to whom?

For you?

Several people almost choked on their food.

Miao Shiwen shook her head: "The division of labor is not about gender, the capable ones will be given the top job. This job was originally assigned to Zhu Xiaomin, but she was about to return to the city and handed it over. We and the brigade have repeatedly considered the candidate, and Chen Danqing is the most suitable."

"Well, it was originally Zhu Zhiqing's job. Why was it given to a male educated youth? He should be swapped with a female educated youth." Fang Qing said.

Miao Shiwen was helpless: "I said that the division of labor is not about gender, and the capable ones will be promoted. Most people in the village are uneducated, so we chose people from the educated youth. Chen Danqing is the best among us in terms of writing skills."

Fang Qing shook her head: "We weren't here yet, otherwise we could report to the brigade and we'd make a new selection."

Even though Chen Danqing had a good temper, he was still amused by her and nodded, saying, "If Fang Zhiqing is not convinced, go ahead and complain."

Fang Qing was stunned: "I am just making a fair suggestion. Captain Xie is the leader of the educated youth team, so Captain Xie should respond."

Xie Chengzhi said: "In addition to writing skills, this job also requires an understanding of the entire brigade's production work. New educated youth are not suitable."

Fang Qing immediately said, "Why is it inappropriate? Isn't the production of the brigade just planting trees, growing crops and medicinal herbs? The brigade leader introduced it to us when we first arrived yesterday. What's so difficult about it?"

Xing Qingsheng smiled and asked, "So, Fang Zhiqing, do you know how many natural forests and artificial forests our brigade has now? How many fruit trees are there in the artificial forests? When do they mature? Where are they sold? What is the proportion? How are the natural forests used? When were the artificial forests planted? How many years have they grown? What is their growth like? What is their planned use?"

"That's about the forests and the crops. Fang Zhiqing knows how many acres of land our brigade has, how much of it is planted with medicinal herbs and how much is planted with grain, what kinds of medicinal herbs are planted, and what kinds of grain are they? When we distribute the grain at the end of the year, what ratio do we use to calculate it?" Song Zhian also spoke up, unwilling to be left out.

"You...you tell me, then I'll know. It's just a number?" Fang Qing heard the two people chattering about a lot of things. She felt a little confused, but more angry.

"These are not just numbers, there are also specific situations. For example, this year's sunflower cake planting area is the same as last year, but the output has increased fivefold. What's the reason?" Zhou Dongyi couldn't help but interject.

"What's the reason?" Cao Liqing asked in surprise.

Zhou Dong spread his hands and said, "Because we planted them sparsely last year, we planted them densely this year."

Fang Qing immediately said, "That's it. You told me, and I knew it."

"What's the reason? Why were they planted sparsely last year but densely this year?" Zhou Dong asked.

Fang Qing had no choice but to ask, "Why?"

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing as Zhou Dong led these people into a trap one by one. She said, "Look, we have to waste a lot of time and energy to explain all these situations to you just for Sunflower. Why don't we let someone who already knows the situation take charge of this work?"
