Chapter 27

Xu Changgui pointed to a terraced field not far away, "You guys go over there to pick ears of rice."

"Be careful, every grain of this grain is precious."

Susie and the others took the sack and went up the mountain.

The harvesters had just started to cut, and Susie and the others sat by the field for a while before picking up the ears of rice.

Picking rice ears looks easy, but it is not easy to do.

Keep squatting, standing up, and bending over.

Tian Xiaohui had a sore back after picking for a while, she straightened up and looked at the hill next door, "My God, look over there, those kids pick it up so fast."

Susie looked over and saw some children in their seven or eight years of age, bent over to pick up in the field quickly, as if they were tireless machines.

Tian Xiaohui wailed, "I've lived such a big life, and I'm not even as good as these children!"

She instantly ignited her fighting spirit, "I don't believe it anymore, I can't compare to them!"

She frowned, and her movements suddenly accelerated.

Seeing her constantly bending down and straightening up again, Susie couldn't help reminding, "Be careful, and be careful where you hurt yourself."

As soon as the words were finished, Tian Xiaohui said "Ouch", covered her lower back with one hand, and stood up stiffly, "I'm twisting my waist."

Susie shook her head, "You go and sit there first, rest for a while and then talk."

Tian Xiaohui still tried to be brave, but just as soon as she bent down, she grinned her teeth in pain.

"Why am I so useless!" Tian Xiaohui was about to cry, Susie dragged her to the edge of the field to sit down, "You are too impatient. Practice makes perfect when you work, take your time."

Zhao Tingting couldn't take it anymore after picking up her waist for a while, straightened her waist and beat it a few times, and asked Su Qian, "You said how many work points can we get for picking rice ears for a day?"

Susie picked up the ears of rice and threw them into the sack, "Four or five work points at most."

Zhao Tingting pointed to the harvester in front, "Then how many are they?"

This Susie asked Chen Changqing, "Generally, men score ten points a day, and women score eight points."

Zhao Tingting snorted, "Why are there more men than women? It's not fair."

Tian Xiaohui sat on the ridge of the field, "We can't even earn eight cents now, so why are we talking about fairness?"

Zhao Tingting bent down again to pick up an ear of rice, "How much food can I get for that work point?" Her family's conditions are average, and it is impossible to give her any financial support. In the future, she will have to support herself.

Susie squatted on the ground, "It doesn't matter how much food is distributed."

"It depends on how much grain the entire production team has collected, minus the public grain to be handed over, leaving those who bought seeds and fertilizers, and then handing over some surplus grain, and dividing the rest by the work points of the entire team, and then multiplying by your work points, that is Your food."

Zhao Tingting smiled wryly, "Too bad, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support myself."

Susie looked at the ears of rice in her hand and sighed. Many of these ears of rice are empty shells. I'm afraid the yield will not be high, so how much can be distributed to them?
Relying on work points, it is impossible to have enough food and clothing.

What's even more frightening is that there seems to be no other way to go except earning work points.

In this time and space, selling a pack of rat poison is not enough, so there is no way to make money.

Susie was also depressed. Although the little money she had was a lot, it probably wouldn't take long, especially since she was used to spending money lavishly.

It seems that we have to find a way to make money!
Su Qian and Zhao Tingting were busy working, and Tian Xiaohui became anxious after sitting for a while, but just bent over and ouched again.

Susie said helplessly: "You can do it, don't mess around, you will get hurt more and more after a while."

"Why don't you go to Aunt Lan's house to get the food and go back to cook."

Tian Xiaohui had no choice but to go down the mountain slowly with her waist supported.

When work was over at noon, Su Qian and Zhao Tingting couldn't straighten their waists, and they went down the mountain while rubbing their waists.

On the way, Susie asked Xu Zhiqiang, the clerk who worked with them, "How much grain can this acre of land produce?"

Xu Zhiqiang shook his head, "There is little rain this year, so the annual harvest is not good. It is estimated that there are only more than 200 catties of millet per mu of land. When the harvest is good, there will be more than 300 catties."

Susie frowned, "So little?" She remembered the time when she lived, and the yield of rice per mu should be thousands of catties, but she didn't know the exact amount.

I don't know if there are big guys in this time and space who study hybrid rice.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Zhiqiang muttered next to Ping, "The land in our mountainous area is not good. I heard that when the year is good in the south of the Yangtze River, one mu of land can produce [-] catties!"

"Hey, when we can produce [-] catties per mu, we should be able to eat enough."

Susie turned her head to look at him, and said seriously: "Four hundred catties is nothing, and one day it will be possible to produce a thousand catties per mu."

Xu Zhiqiang only thought that Su Xi was joking, shook his head and laughed for a while, and then suddenly said: "Well, Su Zhiqing, why do I think that you look a bit like my mother?"

Zhao Tingting laughed beside him.

Susie couldn't help laughing. Several people said that she looked like that one, and she was really curious.

Xu Zhiqiang blushed, "I'm not talking nonsense, but I really think that Su Zhiqing looks a bit like my mother, whether it's your expression or something, but when you look closely, you don't seem to resemble her anywhere."

Susie was about to make a joke when she suddenly thought of something and her face changed slightly.

She remembered that her biological father seemed to be called Xu Zhihui, Xu Zhihui, Xu Zhiqiang, and it was a ranking, shouldn't it?It can't be such a coincidence!

She turned her head and looked at Xu Zhiqiang in astonishment. The more she looked, the more Susie's heart beat. It seemed that Xu Zhiqiang had a bit of a relationship with her own father!
Susie felt a little terrified, no way, in order to get rid of those people, she fled to this corner of the mountain, can't it be such a coincidence?
Su Qian quickly calmed down, not to mention whether Xu Zhihui had any relationship with Xu Zhiqiang, even if there was, it had nothing to do with her.

She has been adopted by the Su family. Her surname is Su now, even if she is called her father, she is only called uncle.

When Su Qian thought about it, she didn't panic at all, and she didn't want to ask Xu Zhiqiang about anything. When she reached the fork in the road, she took Zhao Tingting and walked away quickly.

When I returned to the collective household, I saw Qiao Mu sharpening a knife outside the house.

A new handle was installed on the sickle. The rusty sickle had been polished to a bright spot by the tree, and he was still sharpening it.

Susie stopped behind him, "How did you fix the handle of this knife?"

Qiao Mu stopped, "Go to Carpenter Zhou's house and make it yourself with his tools."

This manipulative ability is really strong, Susie gave him a thumbs up, "By the way, there is a broken bed frame in our house, can you fix it?"

Qiao Mu replied very simply, "Put it outside, I'll try it after eating."
