Chapter 198 Distraction
Gu Siwei drove the boat through the canyon, attracting grass flowers and cubes. The boat speed increased instantly, and it ran towards Silver Pine Cliff like a speedboat.
At this time, no one lamented the speed of grass flowers and cubes. Everyone was immersed in one thing, which was the recruitment matter that Yang Chuanwu just mentioned.
It’s so lively with all the chatter!
Although most of them are over the age, but if a family doesn’t have a son, and if the son is not qualified, then there are still grandchildren. Anyway, there are more people in the family now, and there is always someone who can afford it.
Gu Siwei listened quietly to the chatter of the big guys, with a smile on his lips. He understood the mood of the big guys, but knowing the historical trend, he did not agree with it. The lumberjack job is really not a job that can be done for a lifetime, let alone eight
No matter how hard it seems, these lumberjacks will not be able to survive the wave of layoffs ranging from tens to ninety percent.
But he couldn't say it, and no one would believe him if he did, so Gu Siwei could only smile and watch the others chatting.
"Siwei, are you about the same age?"
Someone thought of Gu Siwei and asked casually.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused their attention on Gu Siwei. Everyone understood the truth, that is, if Gu Siwei was of the right age, he would definitely be among the quota.
Why?
First, Gu Siwei was educated and could not prevent others from becoming literate. However, his children and grandchildren may not be able to read a lot of Chinese characters in total, so how could he compete with others?
As a result, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became a little subtle, and many people felt that the possibility of their own family members was diminished.
Gu Siwei noticed it, so he said with a smile: "I am not old enough. I am still one year younger. People say I am eighteen years old. I am only eighteen years old and I am not qualified at all."
After hearing what Gu Siwei said, many people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Some people may feel that their thoughts are too unreasonable, so they comfort Gu Siwei: "Siwei, if there is no chance this time, there may be a chance next time. How can it be possible after the factory has been built?
I estimate that it will take at least two or three times to recruit a group of workers. You will definitely be old enough by the next time."
"Yes, yes, don't lose heart in the fourth dimension."
A group of people actually started to persuade Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei said with a smile: "I have no interest in being a worker. To be honest, if I wanted to be a worker, I would have done it a long time ago. I don't like to be restrained. If I become a worker, I have to work all day long. Now I
It’s great, the freedom to come and go at will is much more comfortable than being a worker.”
"Yes, why didn't we think of it? We can't compare with you. Our hunting skills are good. We have a full meal at any time. Naturally, we don't care about this. Let alone this time, even if there is a war, it won't bother you.
What, go into the old forest for a minute and have nothing to worry about eating and drinking, unlike us...".
Only then did everyone remember that although the man in front of them was young, he was very capable and he didn't need to be a worker to support the whole family.
Needless to say, just look at the lives of other people, not to mention the village, the whole Shimo Village, including a group of people in the town, except for the township head, no one's life is better than that of Gu Siwei.
Suddenly Gu Siwei's competition alarm was lifted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, after a while, everyone started talking about recruiting workers again.
After arriving at the bottom of the cliff, and then up the cliff to the edge of the field, not only these people joined the discussion, but Sun Qiumei and Zhao Fangming also became very enthusiastic?
Nothing else! Zhao Fangming is also within the age range, and Zhao Fangming has read a little, which gives him an advantage over the naughty kids in the village.
Zhao Fangming is not considered a member of the village. It was not counted for the past two days, but from the moment he and Sun Qiumei got married, he was already a member of the sixth team. Why should he be excluded for such a thing?
So everyone discovered that after Gu Siwei left, another Zhao Fangming came.
This job is very interesting, and many people can't help but talk to each other, so the speed will naturally slow down.
Gu Siwei didn't care, but Liu Fulin really couldn't stand it anymore.
He cut for almost half an hour, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he broke out and threw the sickle in his hand into the ground.
"If you are thinking about being a worker, just go home and think about it honestly. Siwei here invited you to come and harvest the crops. You are not asked to work for free. You here are still working as foreigners with the promised wages.
, are you feeling guilty?
Those who think about their children becoming workers cannot help but talk about it. Now throw down your sickles and go home. If you don’t do this job, there will be others who will do it!
Don’t occupy the manhole without shit, make room for others!”
As soon as everyone heard what Liu Fulin said, no one said anything. They all buried their heads in picking up the crops. The efficiency was two or three times faster than before.
Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu were obviously the ones holding back. Although both of them had sickles in their hands, they did not have the courage to swing them high like others, and then fell hard and brought up a piece of rice to fall.
If the two of them really did this, they wouldn't know whether the rice would fall or not, and they would probably have to fall with it themselves.
Why?
Because the two of them will cut their own legs!
It's not impossible. Two or three times, they almost cut off their own legs. Fortunately, the two of them were slow and stopped. Otherwise, it would be a joke for the Sixth Team if their legs were injured before the crops were stopped.
The two of them were ranked last among each other, let alone compared with adults, even Sicui was better than the two of them.
"I didn't expect that harvesting rice would not be as easy as I thought."
Hu Yanqiu straightened up his waist, but before he could straighten up, he let out an ouch at first. No need to ask, Gu Siwei knew very well that there are no words to describe the soreness in his body after bending down for a long time.
"My waist!" Hu Yanqiu said.
After hearing the advice, Gu Siwei said: "It's good now. If you look again tomorrow morning, you will find that the waist is no longer yours."
Hu Yanqiu was not a squeamish girl, but Gu Siwei's words aroused her stubbornness. She straightened her waist and hit her twice with her hand.
"Don't underestimate people, it's you. Tomorrow I will still work, and I will do it better than you!" Hu Yanqiu challenged Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei didn't care. He smiled softly, made a gesture of cupping his hands, then took up the sickle in his hand and started cutting the rice in front of him.
First, stretch out your left hand and pull a bunch of rice into your arm, then turn the sickle and chop it down the rice stalk. The correct demonstration is that where the sickle passes, the rice is separated from its roots like a blade cutting through tofu.
, but there are always one or two, or seven or eight, or a dozen rice plants on Gu Siwei's side that are not so obedient and unwilling to be separated from their own roots, so now they are in trouble.
It was like this again. Gu Siwei had to lower his head to see which guy was disobedient. He turned around with the sickle again to deal with these guys, and then cut off an armful of rice.
The two of them had cut less than half a row here. Liu Fulin, Sun Qiumei and Zhao Fangming had already cut two rows, which meant that they had cut back and forth, and on the third row they met Gu Siwei again.
Seeing these two people cutting rice makes my balls ache!
If there is a word for pain at this time, Liu Fulin and others will definitely put it on their heads.
Liu Fulin thought for a while and said: "Siwei, Yanqiu, you two will cut it separately. How about you tie the cut rice into bundles? Do you know about bundling?"
Sun Qiumei knew from the look of the two of them that they didn't know how to do it. She didn't laugh at them, because they were not suitable for farm work. Apart from anything else, just looking at their appearance, they had thin skin and tender flesh.
Yes, it doesn't look like someone working in the field. How can someone working in the field be so dark and dirty?
Sun Qiumei said to her husband Zhao Fangming: "Fang Ming, go teach them two and see if they can prick."
Zhao Fangming wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he put down the sickle in his hand and came to the side of Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu.
Hu Yanqiu was a little disappointed, and said with a bitter face to Zhao Fangming: "Why do I feel that we are like useless people now, we can't do anything, and we are just causing trouble to everyone."
Gu Siwei said cheerfully: "Just you, don't bring me with you, okay? I'm not a useless person, I'm just not good at this activity."
"What activity are you good at? You're not good at anything other than labor, right?" Hu Yanqiu looked at Gu Siwei and asked.
Gu Siwei made a thumbs up gesture at her, meaning you guessed it right.
Hu Yanqiu felt that there was nothing he could do against Gu Siwei, so he could only mumble a few words and then carefully watched Zhao Fangming teach him how to tie the rice on the ground.
This job is still quite simple, but it is really difficult for the two of them to do it. Zhao Fangming tied more than ten bundles, and almost every bundle was about the same size. Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu tied it.
They all work on their own, sometimes they are big and sometimes they are small.
When Zhao Fangming saw that the two of them had learned almost enough, he said, "You can do it yourself," and then went back to bend down to cut the rice.
Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu continued to tie rice, tied the rice cut by others into bundles, and stacked them together at the same time.
Even after switching to a lighter job, the two of them still failed to keep up with the movements of the large army. In the end, there was no other way, so Sicui and Liu Dezhu came over and tied them up together.
At this time, Gu Siwei thought of the pony. Unfortunately, you can't find these monkeys when you want to use them. When you don't use them, they hang around in front of your eyes all day long.
With Liu Fulin scolding them, everyone no longer dared to discuss the matter of recruiting workers and concentrated on working. Before they knew it, it was noon, and the huge sun hung in the sky. It was called a heat, and the whole body was covered with heat.
I haven't done it before, and the sweat on this side hasn't dried completely, but the sweat on the other side is now coming out.
If others don't talk about it, they will talk about Gu Siwei and Hu Yanqiu. They are like fished out of water.
"Uncle, why don't we let you all take a break, have a meal, take a short rest after the meal, and wait until the sun is not so bad before we can continue?"
Gu Siwei came to Liu Fulin's side and exchanged a few words with Liu Fulin.
Liu Fulin used the sickle handle in his hand to prop up the straw hat on his head, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, then turned around and started asking about Sun Laibao and his wife who were nearby.
"How about it?"
"Just wait another half an hour and let the cooks go back first. We're fine here," Sun Laibao said.
After hearing this, Liu Fulin shouted loudly to everyone working in the fields: "Everyone, please work harder and wait for half an hour to eat. After eating, everyone will take a rest and wait until the sun is a little west before continuing to work. Everyone, please pay attention to drinking water."
, don’t get a heat stroke then.”
