"Comrades, hurry up for work..." Early the next morning, under the village head's shouting, villagers began to come out for work.
Today's task was to till the village fields again. The main labor force in the village was men, so men did the heavy and tiring work. The six male educated youths in the village could basically get ten work points every day. Women who could do the work could get seven or eight work points, and those who couldn't managed five. Among the female educated youths, only Wang Qing could get eight points, while Qian Xiulan got about six.
In the past, when Fu Wenwen and Su Xiaoxiao went to the fields, they could get at most four points, not even as much as the slightly older children in the village, who could get five points.
Now that Fu Wenwen was the timekeeper, she could also get ten full work points. It had to be said that this was a good job.
Fu Wenwen was truly grateful to the village head for giving her this job, so she worked diligently and meticulously.
Because of what happened yesterday, when Fu Wenwen came to work today, she saw the educated youths looking embarrassed, wanting to approach but hesitating, much like newlyweds having a spat.
Fu Wenwen smiled at them and took the initiative to greet them. "Good morning!"
"...Educated Youth Fu, you... you too... good morning!" Hearing Fu Wenwen greet them first, the educated youths stiffly raised their hands, couldn't stay any longer, and quickly dispersed to start work.
Liu Zihua had wanted to step forward and say something to Fu Wenwen, but Fu Wenwen didn't even spare him a glance. She smiled at all the educated youths, but the smile vanished from her face the moment she looked at him.
If she hadn't needed to tell him his assigned work, she wouldn't have bothered talking to him.
Liu Zihua felt very uncomfortable. In the past, Fu Wenwen used to chase after him. He disliked her pestering and had never given her a pleasant look.
Now that he had gotten his wish, he wasn't happy at all.
Especially when he saw that the spark in her eyes was gone, it made Liu Zihua even more agitated.
"Fu..." Liu Zihua wanted to call out to Fu Wenwen, but after Fu Wenwen finished assigning the day's tasks, she turned and went elsewhere, ignoring Liu Zihua.
"Sister, sister, come here!" Zhang Cuihua saw Liu Zihua constantly staring at Fu Wenwen and quickly beckoned Fu Wenwen over.
"Sister Cuihua." Fu Wenwen trotted over. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, your arrangements are very reasonable! It's just that I see that educated youth Liu keeps staring at you," Zhang Cuihua said to Fu Wenwen, glaring at Liu Zihua suspiciously.
"It's alright, I'll ignore him, pretend he doesn't exist," Fu Wenwen said to Zhang Cuihua with a smile.
"That's right, that's how it should be! Men are all cheap and fickle. You chased him before, and he found you annoying. Now that you're ignoring him, he's staring at you! Truly cheap!" Xiao Hong nodded vigorously and spat at Liu Zihua.
"Heartless man, he's no good," Zhang Cuihua snorted coldly.
"Good sisters, let's ignore him! If you act like this, he'll think you're talking about him." Fu Wenwen chuckled. Zhang Cuihua and Xiao Hong were so endearing.
"Yes, yes, let's ignore him." Hearing Fu Wenwen's words, Zhang Cuihua nodded and stopped looking back at Liu Zihua.
Fu Wenwen smiled lightly.
Today, the women's task was to follow behind the men and scatter fertilizer on the soil they turned up. The work was relatively simple, so everyone got six work points.
