Chapter 13 Zhao Xueer's request for a meeting of the production team
The entire Yushu Village has more than 100 households and more than 1,000 people, all belonging to the Yushu Village Production Brigade. The production brigade is divided into four teams, which are divided into East Team, West Team, and North Team according to the southeast, northwest and northwest directions of the village.
There are four teams, one team and one team in the south. In this way, it will be easier to manage the people in the village, and it will be more convenient to assign tasks and record work points.
Yun Xiaotang's family is located in the west of the village and belongs to the West Squadron.
At this time, the whole village came out. After a while, the open space at the entrance of the village was filled with crows and crows. People were crowded together, people were sitting next to each other, and there were so many people that they could not be counted.
Zhao Xueer and Zhao Tianer protected Yun Xiaotang between them to prevent their sister from being squeezed.
No one in the village paid attention to them. Most of them described them as dry and their eyes were far away. In these days when it was hard to even get enough to eat, who had the time to care about other people's affairs.
As for those families with only children left at home, there are more than a dozen households in the village.
Just take care of yourself and don't care what others do.
On a high ground at the entrance of the village, Captain Li, the captain of the production team, stood in the middle, holding a large speaker in his hand. There were two people on his left and right, who were the captains of the four teams.
"Members, are all here?"
In the crowd, people who looked listless at first burst out, "Everyone is here."
Captain Li nodded and picked up the loudspeaker, "Members, winter has passed, the new year has arrived, spring has come, and our spring plowing will begin. Don't be afraid of hardship, don't be afraid of tiredness, work hard, and welcome the new year.
Come and have a good time tomorrow.”
People also shouted together.
"In the past two years, our harvest has not been good due to natural disasters. But at least we still have food to eat. There are many places where people can only eat Guanyin soil and tree bark. We must cherish the present and the opportunity to work."
"This year, we must plant the land well and have a good harvest. We will get a lot of dividends and food at the end of the year. We must not only be full, but also eat well. We must not only have clothes to wear, but also new clothes to wear...
…”
Yun Xiaotang, who was protected by her sister, sighed in her heart. She was worthy of being the captain of the production team. Such eloquent words made her want to roll up her sleeves and go to work in the fields immediately.
Sure enough, the members were all excited, "We want to have enough to eat, and we want to have new clothes to wear!"
After the mobilization meeting, it is time for each team to assign tasks, and everyone will start working tomorrow.
Zhao Xue'er put Yun Xiaotang into Zhao Tian'er's arms and walked up to the team leader, "Captain Li, can I work in the fields with the team? I am strong and can do a lot of work."
According to her age, she should belong to the herding group and go to herd cattle. But the work score of herding cattle is low, which is not enough.
After Captain Li finished explaining the upcoming spring plowing work, he was just about to leave when he heard the girl's request.
He turned to look at Zhao Xueer who was standing below, sighed at how sensible this child was, and thought of their family's situation, he agreed.
"Girl Zhao, I'll tell the captain of your West Team in a moment, so you don't have to go to the herding group to herd cattle. You can work in the fields with the adults."
At this moment, Yun Xiaotang pulled Zhao Tianer over and said, "Captain Li, can I go herding cattle with my brother? I will definitely be able to herd the cattle well."
A milky voice came from his side. Captain Li lowered his head and looked at Xiao Douding who was speaking, and then at Zhao Xueer.
"Captain Li, let my sister Chun'er and Tian'er go herd cattle together. Otherwise, we will all go out to work, and we won't worry about her being alone at home."
Zhao Xueer originally planned to stop her sister from herding cattle, but when she thought of her going to the fields and Tianer going to herd cattle, leaving her sister alone at home, she really felt uneasy.
Seeing that Zhao Xueer agreed, Captain Li didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
Among the people leaving one after another, one person stopped and looked towards them.
He knows her.
Zhou Nanyue's eyes lingered on Zhao Xueer for a moment, he knew her.
They had business cooperation in their previous life, when he was a real estate tycoon and she was a young entrepreneur who founded a supermarket chain.
but?
His eyes finally stopped at Yun Xiaotang, who was holding two funny little tweets.
The little girl looks about four or five years old. Her clothes are patched, but she is clean and tidy.
Her little face was all red, and she held her brother and sister's hand and smiled beautifully.
In the previous life, this little girl died.
He remembered that Zhao Xueer only had her younger brother Zhao Tianer as her only relative. This girl was supposed to die in the winter of 1960.
At this time, it looked like he was being well-raised.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Nanyue turned around and followed Mrs. Chen home.
As soon as he got home, he saw the crazy woman huddled behind the door and looking at him, her eyes full of fear and hatred.
Since the last time, she didn't dare to pick up a stick and hit him again after she found out that he didn't fight back like before.
This woman only went crazy when she saw him, and was quiet at other times. She could even go to work before.
However, it was Mrs. Chen who took her to work with her. The other villagers regarded them as a plague and stayed away when they saw them.
It's because their family used to be landlords and their status was not good. Others were afraid of getting close to them and being said to be close to capitalism.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nanyue sneered.
The woman behind the door saw the little boy in the yard showing a cold and stern smile that was inappropriate for his age. She trembled and murmured back to her room, not daring to come out again.
Zhou Nanyue didn't care about her actions and walked back to the room.
…
After bidding farewell to Captain Li, Yun Xiaotang was led home by her brother and sister. On the way, Yun Xiaotang fell silent.
She only regretted that she was only four years old now and could not do more for this family. Being able to herd cattle with Zhao Tian'er was already what she tried her best to do now.
Zhao Xueer held her sister's hand and said nothing. She knew that this year's harvest would not be good, and before long, the "public canteen" would also be cancelled.
Those villagers who originally thought they could survive the winter and eat in public canteens may have to have hope first and then be disappointed.
Sighing inwardly, she looked towards the horizon. The sunset filled the sky, and there were a few crows lingering on the branches of the elm trees in the village.
As soon as people walked by, the crows started up and made a "quacking" sound.
When she got home, Zhao Xueer poured a pot of water and put it on the stove to heat, and then took a sweet potato and put it into the stove fire.
In the yard, Yun Xiaotang picked up a few round stones and played with her brother.
There is no way, there are no other entertainment projects in this era. Apart from eating and working, there is nothing else. If you have a radio at home, you are a big family in the village.
After playing for a while, the sweet potatoes were roasted and the three of them ate them.
