I Am That Little Fox [Quick Transmigration] Chapter 91: The Village Tyrant and the Little Educated Youth (6)
“Look at your father.” Liang Sheng frowned and gave them a kick, spit out the grass stem, straightened up and walked in the other direction.
Two young men who had been beaten followed him, pushing and squeezing each other in a low voice.
Walking through the small bamboo forest, Huang Pingping patted her chest and said, “I was scared to death. Aren’t you afraid?”
“Don’t be afraid. If they dare to do anything, I will let them have a taste of fists.” Bai Xiaoxi held the basin in one hand and clenched a white fist with the other, looking very arrogant.
Huang Pingping chuckled and said, “Boys are much stronger than us, you can’t beat them.”
Bai Xiaoxi shook her fist and said, “We’ll find out later.”
In the evening, Tan Zhili informed them that they would start planting rice seedlings tomorrow and the newcomers would also start work. There was a sudden groan in the educated youth spot.
Tan Zhili said to Bai Xiaoxi and the others: “You are divided into pulling out seedlings, which is a relatively easy job. When you get to the fields tomorrow, learn from Auntie and the others first, and you will be able to get started soon.”
“Does the lighter work mean less work points?” Others were afraid of being tired, but Bai Xiaoxi was concerned about this issue.
Tan Zhili explained with a smile: “It’s not necessarily. Some women pull seedlings with both hands. The speed is very fast, and the work points are not less than strong labor. But seedling pulling is not just about speed. You have to wash the mud on the roots of the seedlings while pulling, otherwise if the roots are too heavy, the picker will be unhappy, it will be inconvenient for the people who transplant the rice seedlings.”
Bai Xiaoxi nodded, indicating that she understood.
She has only seen the scene where rice is planted in the fields, but she did not expect that there will be many trivial matters in the process of planting rice seedlings.
Early the next morning, the day was bright, everyone got up and went to the field.
There are already a lot of people in the fields, and the women in the rice-pulling team are very enthusiastic, vying to teach the new educated youth.
Bai Xiaoxi was particularly ambitious. She learned how to pull seedlings with both hands and shoot the bow from left to right. She was always quick at learning things, but within a short time, she was already very proficient in the movements.
The few young educated youths who came with her were still tiptoeing. She wore a big bamboo hat and sat on a special I-shaped bench, pulling out, washing, and knotting the rice seedlings. Her movements were all done in one go, which made others marvel.
“I see, Xiaoxi is the material for earning ten work points.”
“No, she looks faster than me.”
“Look at her hands. They are as white and tender as tofu. Why are they so agile at work?”
Generally, one day for transplanting rice seedlings is worth ten work points, and for pulling out rice seedlings, which is lighter, it is worth eight work points. However, some women can earn ten points for their skillful hands and feet. As for the newly arrived educated youth, they work too slowly and only have six work points. Compared with them, Bai Xiaoxi’s speed was unparalleled.
The women were busy working with their hands and talking a lot. They picked up the bottom for a few educated youths and talked about other people in the team.
