"What's wrong? Look at how you're sweating from running.”

Liu Jun took a few tissues from the table and wiped the sweat off An Hui's face.

When Liu Jun went to the barbed wire fence to do farm work, he asked the farmer there to buy this tissue from 711.

After Liu Jun settled down in Tianshui Wai, He Muyang helped him apply for a "transit farming certificate". With this certificate, Liu Jun could go through the barbed wire and work in the farmland of Tianshui Wai that day.

Naturally, he would also have the opportunity to interact with the farmers in Xiang City!

Liu Jun's butt really couldn't get used to the coarse straw paper that was made of straw. Large straw grains that hadn't been completely crushed could still be dug out from the straw paper.

He rubbed it on his butt, and it was a sour feeling.

Liu Jun's pink anus was bleeding.

Moreover, some time ago, An Hui had also received a "sign of growth". Liu Jun had also bought her a few boxes of "Little Wings".

Nowadays, when the women's "relatives" came, they used real menstrual belts. It was too unsanitary. Liu Jun was even worried that An Hui would contract some gynecology disease.

"Brother, Li Jiaju and Xian Guangwei have been sent back. They are now undergoing labor reform at the quarry at the pass.”

"What do you mean by that? Isn't it just two people?"

"No, that day, Sister Jing went with them. There were also two educated youths from the neighboring village. There were five people in total. Brother, you don't know, right? One of the villagers from the neighboring village drowned. Fortunately, Sister Qu Jing and the others were fine.”

"So be it if they drown. This is the path they chose. This path was originally made of bones.”

When Liu Jun was fishing for gold, he had seen a lot of corpses below. Not including those that were washed away, he had seen no less than 2,000 incomplete corpses below.

Liu Jun had once checked the information. According to incomplete statistics, at least tens of thousands of souls were buried under Deep Town Bay.

"Brother, should we go and see them?”

Liu Jun didn't answer. Instead, he asked,""How long are they going to be there?”

"It seems to be three months, but if you perform well, you can come out early.”

"Let's go in a few days. When the college entrance examination materials are printed, send two copies to them. As for whether they could make it in time for the college entrance examination, it would depend on their own luck.”

Today was October 10th, 1977. In 11 days, the major newspapers would announce that the college entrance examination would be resumed, and the college entrance examination would be held around December 7th.

If they didn't come out early, they wouldn't be able to make it for the college entrance examination this year.

Especially Li Jiaju, whose household registration was in Ice City. He would definitely have to go there to register for the college entrance examination.

It would take at least 40 hours to get from here to Ice City by train. If he didn't come out on December 4th, he would basically miss the college entrance examination this year.

As for the plane, forget about it. If you want to take a plane, you need to write a letter of recommendation to prove that you're from a department above the county level. Without a letter of recommendation, the civil aviation would not sell you a plane ticket at all.

"Don't go to the fields for the next few days. I'll talk to Uncle He tonight and assign you a job to record work points. You can also use your time to read more books.”

"Brother, that's not good, right? The person who recorded the work points was the wife of the village accountant. It would probably not be easy to snatch her work.”

"It's fine. I'll go and look for Accountant He tomorrow. You don't need your work points anymore. Give them all to his family. He'll definitely be happy to let you work for a period of time.”

Speaking of work points, he had to explain.

At this time, all the members worked together in the village.

After every season's grain was ripe, after removing the agricultural tax, mission grain, and other miscellaneous items that had to be handed over to the country, the remaining grain would be kept as seeds for the coming year. There was also the village grain (The grain stored in the village warehouse was usually used to provide financial aid to the members who were in dire straits, or to borrow grain from the members who were in famine, or to deal with possible natural disasters.)

The rest would be distributed to the village members, and the distribution of food was based on work points.

The way work points were calculated was different in every place. Generally, it was distributed according to the two dimensions of labor and manpower.

People were the population. As long as you were a member of the village, you had the right to distribute the food.

Labor was labor. According to your usual workload, you will be given a certain number of work points.

The ratio of manpower to labor usually ranged from 3:7 to 8:2.

There were no mandatory regulations in this country. Each community (township) decided the ratio of people to labor according to their actual situation.

For example, there may be disabled people in the village who can't work, but according to our country's regulations, no one in the village can starve to death.

Therefore, the disabled could also receive the " human " rations distributed by the brigade.

If the work points of the " people " were relatively low, they would need to give them some relief food. In short, they definitely could not let the food of the other party not be enough to eat and starve to death.

Please forgive me for using the term " not starving to death ".

It was mainly because the concept of " eating one's fill every meal " did not exist in this era.

Other than the New Year and the holidays, the members 'families would let their families eat to their heart's content. Usually, they would plan their lives. Generally, if they could eat 70% full, they would be considered a very well-off family.

After talking about labor points, let's talk about labor points.

Labor points were easy to understand. They were earned based on your labor.

A strong laborer could usually get 8-10 work points a day. The number of work points depended on the specific work you did.

For example, weeding was a relatively light job. Normally, if one worked for a full day, they would get six work points.

For example, plowing. Driving oxen to plow the fields was also considered a technical job. Usually, they would get 10 full work points. Under special circumstances, they would even get 12 extra work points.

In theory, a person could only get 10 work points per day.

To get 12 extra work points, one had to either save the brigade or make an outstanding contribution to the brigade.

For example, people in the northeast would go hunting in the mountains. Those who were assigned to hunt in the mountains could even get hundreds of work points according to the amount of prey they harvested.

Generally, a minor child could get 4 work points a day by helping in the fields, an elderly person could get 6 work points, a woman could get 6-8 work points, and a middle-aged person could get 8-10 work points.

Of course, this referred to not slacking off and working hard.

If he was lazy, his efficiency would be low. Once or twice, others would pretend that they didn't see it. However, if it happened too often, others would naturally have objections and expose the matter. Everyone would boycott him together, and then the brigade would give him less work points.

In short, there were many ways to calculate work points.

There was fairness, there was the ways of the world, there was mutual deception, there was the use of power for personal gain, and there was also taking care of the weak. It was still very thought-provoking.

[The second half of this chapter is a little dry, but I still recommend reading it.]
