Chapter 0006: Survival Tips for Production Teams
Go tell Captain Uncle, your father, I can no longer move; if I move this leg again, it will be rendered useless
No.
In the afternoon, while digging sweet potatoes, Li Dong was still pondering this issue. As a result, he ended up damaging quite a few. There was no way around it; he was not familiar with the task and was also distracted. When Li Chunhua saw this, she remarked that the number of damaged ones was greater than those that were intact, even though it had looked promising in the morning.
After a moment of consideration, the wealthy man from Korea said, "Didn’t he mention that he has relatives in the city? If you have the time, accompany him to the commune to send a telegram and see if it’s possible for them to come and take him away."
This is a situation where nothing gets accomplished, yet everything is consumed.
You cannot.
Han Xiaojuan took two more sweet potatoes, and Li Dong happily accepted them. "Xiaojuan, later I will go to the reservoir with Dad, and we will catch a few more fish to eat tomorrow."
Han Xiaojun had hidden the sweet potatoes well and served the lunch, which included rice, pickled vegetables, and a plate of greens, but there was hardly any oil. Li Dong murmured, "Didn’t you put any cooking oil?"
One, Two, Three ... ...
Captain
Li Dong rubbed his sore wrist, as for his legs, forget it, they were swollen and uncomfortable to the point that he wished he could chop them off. Xiao Juan had massaged Li Dong for an entire night, but there was no improvement at all
The shaded area was left for a few children and several pregnant women. Li Chunhua took a look and said, "This child has a good character"
Not acceptable
Li Dong chuckled, pulling down his pant legs, revealing more than ten small sweet potatoes the size of carrots. When Xiao Juan saw this, she exclaimed in surprise and delight. "Are you happy? Dad will roast sweet potatoes for you tonight"
The wealthy individual from South Korea shook his head. "This is not the right time; when you take over, what will you say if there are fewer people? We must wait until you have taken over before discussing it."
Do not say, in a short while, Li Dong fell asleep. The next day, he was assigned to cut pig grass, which was a 60% workload. Just yesterday, he was doing an 80% workload, and the work points were decreasing. However, Li Dong did not care.
Understanding the meaning of the first line of numbers, along with the third line, 2018.8.15, which refers to living one's own life, but the second line, 200, remains unclear, leaving me utterly perplexed about what this is all about
Han Xiaojun looked at Li Dong with a wary expression, having already eaten two. "I will bring back a bit more tomorrow"
Harvesting sweet potatoes is a task that can be considered neither too light nor too heavy. It can be performed by women, the elderly, and children. Generally, it is arranged for some women with slightly less physical strength, along with the elderly and children, to go together.
Li Dong does not look down on workers; rather, he truly admires them. However, he feels inadequate himself, as he believes he is not cut out for this kind of work and would be exhausted.
This frightened Han Xiaojun greatly; there is now less than 100 grams of cooking oil at home. If she eats fish again, the cooking oil will be used up. Terrified, Han Xiaojun immediately held the cooking oil close to her chest. "I won't eat fish."
Forget it, let him go pull sweet potato vines. When she returned home in the evening, Li Chunhua complained to Han Guofu a lot. "He can't do anything, but he's the best at stealing food. Others might take one or two, but he took seven or eight at once."
Li Dong wore a speechless expression; this child, waiting to go back and get ten or eight jin of cooking oil, eats fried fish every day. "Forget it, forget it"
Xiao Juan tidied up the dishes and chopsticks while Li Dong lay on the bed to rest for a while and ponder some matters. "What does this number actually mean? It only increases when exposed to sunlight."
The wealthy in South Korea are helpless; fetching water is no longer feasible. If we continue to speak as Li Dong suggests, and ask him to fetch water again, he will jump into the water. Even operating the waterwheel is no longer possible. The boss over here was quite exhausted yesterday, and if we continue to involve Li Dong, the boss will surely be worn out in just a few days.
Han Xiaojun looked at Han Guofu, who was frowning, and tugged at the hem of his clothes. "What’s wrong, Xiaojun?"
Well then
If one could hide in the shade, the numbers would slow down and eventually stop. Is this guy a solar charging panel? Li Dong helplessly endured the blazing sun
Li Dong suddenly got up, but unfortunately, he did not have a watch. He decided to experiment a bit and ran outside. At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the numbers began to change under the sunlight
Li Dong was unaware of these matters. He was pondering, and the time had passed 95, yet apart from the change in numbers, there was no other sign of activity. "What is this thing? Forget it, I won't think about it anymore"
Seeing that Li Dong had no intention of going fishing, Xiao Juan breathed a sigh of relief, hid the cooking oil, climbed onto the bed, and picked up a fan to fan Li Dong. Her new father always had trouble sleeping without someone fanning him. While fanning, Han Xiao Juan also massaged Li Dong's hands and feet
Han Xiaojun has a pouting mouth, her new father is greedy, lazy, and unable to endure hardship. What can she do? The food supply for the two of them is visibly dwindling. What can she do?
Who would have thought that such a trivial task could not be sustained, it is truly like a hollow cabbage that has grown tall for no reason, while the wealthy Korean squats in the corner, pondering with a puff of dry tobacco, how to handle this matter. "Snap."
Li Dong waved his hand, saying, this child, forget it, as an adult, I won't argue with a child
She has no idea why Li Dong is working under the scorching sun, it's exhausting, and sweat is pouring down. "What is this? Relying on the sun to increase the numbers."
The wealthy wife of a Korean man, Li Chunhua, slapped her thigh and exclaimed, who is this person? What are we going to do about this? This person is the husband of our family, and everyone will surely blame their own husbands. With the son about to take over, we cannot let any trouble arise
Forget it, I'll eat first, and later in the evening I'll have some roasted sweet potatoes, Li Dong muttered, finishing three bowls of coarse grain rice with a look that said he was really becoming more and more able to eat, there's no way around it, doing physical labor, eating meals without much oil or vegetables, not to mention snacks.
You see, shall we go to the commune tomorrow
This guy looked at Li Chunhua with such disdain that he could have slapped that unfortunate child to death. How could one be so foolish? Even a fool could see it. Li Dong, however, did not care; he was determined to roast sweet potatoes and make sweet potato porridge, no matter the cost.
Make sure to pay more attention tomorrow
What should we do then
Li Dong, upon hearing that Han Xiaojun was going to compete for work points, slammed the table. "Xiaojun, you are still so young. I plan to wait for the commune primary school to start and help you go to school. Don't worry about the work points; you have your father for that."
Old man, what should I do, I have raised a big uncle
Xiao Juan
The number remained completely still. Li Dong scratched his head, puzzled. What on earth is going on with this number? It is not showing any signs of movement at all.
90:02:54
The wealthy individual from South Korea looks quite displeased. You see, this situation has become quite troublesome. Yesterday, the boss brought along the water cart, but he completed more than half of the work. This kid could manage at most one-third of it. Isn't it just that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish the task, which is why he had the boss take the lead?
Running all the way home, before even entering the door, he shouted, "Xiao Juan, Xiao Juan, look what Dad has brought you!"
Can we bake two more?
What?
Han Xiaojun stared blankly at Li Dong, who spoke as if it were a matter of course. What kind of person is this? What work can be done while sitting? You are not an official; the accountant and the scorekeeper in the team also need to run around and keep track of people.
I want to earn work points
Then what do you suggest we do, it is certainly better than doing nothing at all
The wealthy Korean frowned while smoking a pipe, and his eldest son squatted beside him, contemplating. "Dad, why not just let him go?"
Alright, keep these for now. Dad will dig some more back this afternoon
What should I do? I know what to do
After howling all night, I woke up the next morning feeling utterly unwell, calling for Han Xiaojun to come over, as I could not go to work and operate the water cart today
In just one morning, nearly five points were added, and the number is approaching ninety. Li Dong muttered as he glanced at the women preparing to leave work, noticing that each of them had their pant legs rolled up high. "Huh?"
Li Dong lamented about his misfortune, wondering why he ended up here, unable to continue the work of wading through water, and missing out on the full twelve points of work credits. "I hope Uncle Captain can help my dad find a lighter job, one that doesn't require running back and forth, preferably something that can be done while sitting."
Han Xiaojun immediately hugged the sweet potato. "Save it to make sweet potato chips, in exchange for oil and salt."
Ninety is not time, ninety hours
Speaking while clapping hands, I picked up the tattered hat, and with a snap, in this scorching heat, it is truly a torment. I must find an opportunity to leave the village, at least to visit the county town, to seek some avenues for making money. As for farming work, it is better left to the professionals.
Go to the commune, Li Dong excitedly waved the sickle, scaring the wealthy Korean into a shiver, this child. "Alright, just in time for Wei Guo to go to the commune for business, you can follow him."
Unless it is a commune cadre who can sit down to work, although Han Xiaojuan is small, she understands some matters; it is truly embarrassing to say such a thing. However, Li Dong has an attitude of entitlement, and Han Xiaojuan, feeling helpless, can only run to the home of the team leader's grandfather
Captain Uncle, are you serious? That's wonderful
Well, this is something! He rolled up his pant legs and stuffed in sweet potatoes. Although they were all small, even the tiniest fly's leg is still meat, and there were at least two or three pounds. When Li Dong saw this, he thought to himself, why didn't I think of that? He quickly rolled up his pant legs, all the way up to his thighs, and stuffed in at least ten sweet potatoes.
... ...
Upon seeing Han Xiaojun still wanting to speak, Li Dong finished the rice porridge in his bowl in a few gulps. "This matter is settled then. Alright, Dad, I'm off to work."
What, isn't this work meant for the elderly and children
Other tasks, weeding, good heavens, the seedlings and weeds are indistinguishable. I hardly pulled out any weeds in the entire afternoon, but the seedlings suffered quite a bit. The wealthy in Korea are afraid that if Li Dong continues to weed, they will end up with no food left.
Li Dong slapped his thigh, indeed, it is truly time
There are still two turtles at home, I will stew them later, Li Dong hummed and went to sleep
Usually, Li Dong uses a bit more cooking oil when preparing dishes, ensuring there are at least some oil droplets. However, now there are hardly any oil droplets left.
The morning work went quite well, digging sweet potatoes. The sweet potato field is located near the hillside. Li Dong originally intended to find a shaded spot, but upon stepping outside, he discovered something strange: whenever he was in the sunlight, the numbers on the screen would increase rapidly.
In the afternoon, I brought back sweet potatoes, but Han Xiaojun took them away again. It was not easy to trick two of them into being roasted, and they smelled so good. In this day and age, sweet potatoes are truly fragrant, and they leave a sweet taste in my mouth
Suddenly, the wealthy man from Korea stood up and said to his wife, "Today, the team is harvesting sweet potatoes. Take him with you to harvest the sweet potatoes; this task is lighter."
What, after working all day, it still doesn't work
