In China's sixties and seventies, when China was in the period of the People's Commune, agricultural production was generally organized by the production team, and the members of the society used the production team as the labor unit to work and receive remuneration. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But agricultural work is often carried out on a vast and scattered land, and it is very difficult to monitor the level of effort of the laborers. As a result, it is difficult to judge the quality of labor in each process before the final product is harvested. Therefore, the production team generally adopted the "division of labor" system as the basis for the measurement and distribution of labor. This "work division system" is based on the potential work capacity, and each employee is assigned a work division standard according to gender and age, and the work score is recorded according to the number of working days, and the work score is distributed according to each person's work score at the end of the year. Therefore, in the countryside, if any family does not earn enough work for one year, then the next year the family will have to go hungry. At that time, no one had surplus grain to borrow, even if they went to the village or team to borrow it, they did not necessarily have to borrow it, and it did not mean that they would not pay it back if they borrowed, and the loan would be deducted from the next year's work, and the rest would be their own.

Ye Xiang, the daughter-in-law of the village party secretary, came to the Wang family at this time to tell the new daughter-in-law of the Wang family, Cuilian, about the arrangements for work, for women, work can also be divided into several types. On the way here, Ye Xiang had already thought of a job suitable for Cuilian, according to the meaning of her own man, Wang Jianguo, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, was married to take care of the sick old lady and young daughter, so she had to choose an easy job.

"Cuilian, my sister-in-law won't ask you anymore, so I will directly arrange for you to be responsible for the drinking water of the people in the field, once a day in the morning, twice in the afternoon, there are 5 points of work, and after this time, the type of work will be adjusted, what do you see?" Afraid that Cuilian would think that this work score was low, Ye Xiang hurriedly added at the end. You must know that this type of work is usually for those half-grown children, but now it is the summer period, first, there is no place to be easier and can take care of the family's work at any time, secondly, the weather is hot, there are many people who drink water, and it is not possible to rely on a few children to send water, so you have to arrange an adult, but the average person who wants a labor force to earn so many jobs, now can arrange the village chief's daughter-in-law to do this thing, others will not gossip, but also feel that the village chief is a selfless cadre.

"My sister-in-law said that it was okay, I could do anything, as long as I didn't delay taking care of my mother." As for why she married into this family, Cuilian knew very well. It's already very good to be able to earn a few jobs by yourself now, and it's already very embarrassing for the father-in-law and Wang Jianguo to think about themselves and not completely let themselves find a home to serve their mother-in-law, but they can't make the two of them uncomfortable because of the type of work.

"Okay, then let's make a decision, it's still early, you let Xiaoya take you to the village in a while, there is a stove room, firewood or something, the buckets are all there, and then a few half-old children in the village will go to the field with you, including my second girl, Xiaoya knows each other, you see, if there is no problem, I will go to work." Ye Xiang is also a simple person, since Cuilian agrees that everything will be arranged by herself, then she is not polite, she directly arranges the work properly and prepares to go to work, if she goes late, it will be counted as the whole work, and those long-tongued women in the village should talk nonsense again.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you are busy, I have no problem here, I will ask Xiaoya to take me to the village stove in a while." Seeing Ye Xiang's crackling explanation, and she looked like she was in a hurry to get to work, Cuilian didn't delay her any longer, and after sending her away, she also went into the house to change her clothes for work, and was going to let Xiaoya take her to the stove in the village to see if there was anything that needed to be cleaned up in advance.

"Mother, wait a minute, I'll help you into the house and lie down, and after a while, the little girl will take me to the village stove room, and I'll let her come back quickly, do you think it's okay?" Cuilian, who had cleaned up, said to Wang Zhao who was on the recliner in the courtyard.

"Okay, you all get busy, don't worry about me, what can I do as an old woman, go ahead. Cuilian, you are the first day to participate in Qinghegou's work, but you have to be careful, don't let people gossip. Seeing the new daughter-in-law change into new clothes and dress up for work, Wang Zhao was satisfied with Cuilian again. As the old saying goes, what you do is like something, although she is a new daughter-in-law, but no one in the countryside wears a new one, well, she is sensible.

"Mother, don't worry, I know, don't embarrass my second brother, little girl, go and give grandma a bowl of water to cool and put it where grandma can get it." Mother, I'll help you. After settling Wang Zhao's family, locking the courtyard door, pulling the little girl, Cuilian walked towards the stove house in the village.

At this time, the people who remained in the village were either old people who could not work or children who could not work, so the road was so quiet that you could not even hear the barking of dogs. Also, at this time, people can't even eat, where will the food come from to feed the animals? Cuilian was amused by her whimsy.

"Mom, this is the village stove house." Walking into a large independent courtyard, Xiaoya pointed to a bright room and said to Cuilian.

"Oh, I see. Xiaoya is really good, now that her mother is ready to work, can Xiaoya help her mother go home and take care of grandma? When she arrived at the destination, Cuilian didn't need Xiaoya's little tour guide for the time being, thinking that her mother-in-law was not at ease at home alone, so Cuilian hurriedly asked Xiaoya to go home, so that someone could take care of her, and she could run errands if she had anything.

"But, but, Mom, I haven't shown Xiaohua my new hairstyle yet, and I want to stay with you." Xiaoya looked at Zhao Cuilian in embarrassment, although she had only been together for a morning, Xiaoya already liked this new mother very much, and she didn't want to be separated from her new mother.

"Xiaoya's new hairstyle can be seen by Xiaohua at noon, but grandma is so pitiful and lonely at home alone, if Xiaoya goes home to accompany grandma, grandma will be very happy, and mom will be very happy, and mom will boil water and send it to the mountains and come back to accompany Xiaoya, so Xiaoya will be able to see her mother in a while, okay?" Cuilian patiently persuaded Xiaoya, without a little impatience.

"Then my mother promised Xiaoya that she must come back soon." In the end, Xiaoya still lived up to Cuilian's expectations and obediently agreed to go home to take care of her grandmother.

"Mom promised Xiaoya to go home and make lunch for Xiaoya as soon as she was done, okay?" Cuilian didn't expect that Xiaoya's child had only been sticking to herself in the morning, maybe she had never enjoyed maternal love, and suddenly she got it, and it was inevitable that she would suffer some gains and losses. It is this kind of performance that makes Cuilian feel even more sorry for this child who has no mother since childhood.

"Okay, then I'll go home first, mom come back soon." Xiaoya nodded, and went home after being sent to the gate of the yard by her new mother.

"Little girl, slow down on the road." Cuilian stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched the little girl go home, and did not return to the stove until she could no longer see her. There are two large pots on the earthen stove in the stove room, and it looks clean, and I think that people boil water here every day. And the firewood is chopped and stacked, it is very convenient to use it directly, and there is a well in the yard, so it is also convenient to draw water. It's an easy job! Don't think about anything else, Cuilian pulled up her sleeves and prepared to burn the fire to wash the pot and boil the water, and the children who came to fetch water came after a while.

In fact, there is not so much attention in the countryside, everyone used to be direct and raw water, not to mention cool to quench thirst, do not cost firewood, and save labor. But since a few urban educated youths came to the village, under the persuasion of them to pay attention to hygiene, the village chief and the branch secretary decided to boil water for the big guy to drink in a time-consuming and laborious manner, so that Cuilian had an easy job, otherwise she was afraid that she would have to sit on the weeding job. Although it is not heavy work, it is not so convenient to go home to take care of Wang Zhao; If she goes home at any time while weeding, even if she is the daughter-in-law of the village chief, there will be a lot of gossip from others. Therefore, to have such an errand, Cuilian is very content.
