Chapter 1057 Labor Makes Me Happy

Hu Laosi, a farmer in Lunch Village, is off work today.

The so-called off-duty means that you don't have to work today, and you can do nothing from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night.

Yes, nothing to do.

Hu Laosi felt a deep sense of guilt.

Hu Laosi's schedule is as follows. On Monday, he will work on his private land, plant something according to the needs of the village, turn in part of it, and then grow enough food for his family for seven days.

There are classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays, yes, classes.

Call it a literacy class.

Hu Laosi still doesn’t know why he needs to take literacy classes since he is not blind. But now he can also write his own name and calculate his weekly salary. Although he hasn't felt it is useful yet, but the village chief said it is useful, it must be useful.

Go to work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, two days of day shift and one day of night shift, rotating next week.

The working place is in a big box, manning a "planting workbench" that is two meters long and one meter wide. He will plant whatever others order. It is probably a labor intensity that can be done with one hand with his eyes closed. .

Hu Laosi felt that he was almost getting moldy from idleness.

Then rest on Sunday, yes, that’s it, still need to rest!

Did you say it's not too much?

Hu Laosi doesn't want to rest. Farmers can work 24 hours a day without sleeping. They can just work during the day and rest at night. Why do they need to take a separate day to rest?

He was looking for something to do every night, but what?

Now that we have everything at home, we don’t have to go to the woods in the middle of the night to pick fruits or steal bird eggs.

A group of farmers were wandering around the street in a panic at night, and were caught by the guards.

Then he was taken to night school!

The night school didn't teach anything else but some things called poker and mahjong.

What's so fun about this thing?

Farmers learned the hard way.

Their hands touching mahjong are ready to move, and every cell is shouting, we want to work!

Labor makes us happy!

Work or die!

In the peasant night school, refusal to study and truancy often occurred, and serious conflicts occurred between teachers and students. It is said that the principal of the night school was in pain and was looking for a solution.

What's more frightening is that the village also stipulates that farmers become adults at the age of fourteen and do not have to work until they reach adulthood.

Go to school and study every day.

Of the six children in Mr. Hu’s family, only the eldest, second and third children need to go to work. The fourth, fifth and sixth children have to go to school every day.

This makes Hu Laosi very worried. If children cannot be exposed to labor from an early age, won't they lose at the starting line? How can I become an excellent farmer in the future?

What’s the point of going to school for a farmer’s child, right? Can going to school make farmers work more efficiently? Do you still want to come back to farm?

The village chief said that this is an old concept and needs to be changed.

If you study well, you can become a big shot, for example... being a village chief or something, that would be a glorious honor.

Can a farmer still be a village chief? Hu Laosi didn’t believe it.

But the village chief said whatever he said. Hu Laosi was grateful to the village owner and the village chief from the bottom of his heart. Their family had no worries about food and clothing, lived in a spacious house, and didn't have to worry about it every day. They didn't have to fight for their lives. Who did they rely on?

However, after several consecutive reincarnations, Hu Laosi has become accustomed to such a rhythm.

Everything in life suddenly became predictable and nothing changed. When he got up in the morning, he knew what he was going to do for the day. Although Hu Laosi didn't know why, he felt that his whole heart was at peace.

When people on earth are tired of the mechanized and unchanging life, for people in the Exile Era, they can still see the sun the next day when they wake up, instead of facing knives and guns in a dirty cell. It is already the greatest happiness.

It is also the happiness they have pursued for countless generations.

Today, Sunday, Hu Laosi decided to take his fourth, fifth and sixth children to the breakfast village to see what to buy.

It was not because of anything else, but because his sixth child came first in this exam. The teacher specially praised him and gave him a certificate.

Although Hu Laosi complained all day long that it was useless for the children to go to school and it was better to go to farm, but when he got this grand certificate, he was really happy than anyone else. He wanted to stick the certificate on the door for everyone to see.

In comparison, the fourth and fifth babies are a bit unsatisfactory.

One of them ranked eighth, and the other ranked tenth. Although their grades were not bad, they were not good enough to win certificates. They were asked to study but refused to study. In the blink of an eye, they were seen going to the fields to farm. Now, I have to persuade him to come back.

Hu Laosi decided that he would buy whatever his six children wanted, while the fourth and fifth children could only give them a discount. He had to let them know that if there was a gap, they should work hard!

Among the eight villages, the most prosperous one now is the breakfast village. After all, it is the earliest developed commercial village. There are all kinds of things from the earth and the era of exile. Hu Laosi directly took a few children and got on the bus, and a few The acquaintances greeted each other and laughed loudly: "I went to the breakfast village to buy new clothes for my child, knitted by the weavers, and to eat ice cream on my behalf. I heard That thing is ice-cold and very delicious...Yes, yes, this child is very motivated. He got first place in the exam, and the teacher personally sent the certificate home..."

The pride is palpable.

After getting off the car, he saw the commotion in front of him. Farmers didn't like to join in the fun, because for farmers, no good things would happen in a busy place. He quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed his child, "Let's go around. Go quickly..."

"Hey, hey, what are you guys doing here? Don't delay my business! Get out of the way! My business is coming! That farmer! Are you here to sell your child?"

Everyone turned their heads suddenly and saw Hu Laosi holding three children with one hand and planning to leave.

"Yes, it's you! You brought these three children with the intention of selling them." The shark looked at Hu Laosi up and down. "See, you only have one hand left. It won't be easy to feed a family. These three children None of the children are very strong. One child will cost you three days of rations, but no more."

"Hey, what's your expression?" The shark man saw the angry look on Hu Laosi's face, "I gave you too much ration for three days. A farmer like you is nothing but a waste. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat for a long time. Get up and eat, sell your child to me, and you can live a few more days."

Hearing what the shark said, the four and five children next to them suddenly looked frightened and started crying.

No wonder my father is so generous and wants to buy us things. He plans to sell us and buy things for his sixth brother...

The four and five children immediately hugged Hu Laosi's thigh: "Abba, wuwuwuwu, I will study hard in the future and never dare to be disobedient again. Please don't sell us..."
