Just then...

Accountant Wang walked forward, holding an account book, and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet. When I call your name, come to the team leader to collect your money. Everyone, line up and we'll go one by one."

As soon as Accountant Wang finished speaking, everyone immediately cooperated and fell silent. Then, men and women stood on each side and began to line up consciously.

Accountant Wang coughed dryly and began to read out the names.

"Li Tieshan's family, come up and get your money."

"Wang Dazhu's family, come up and get your money."

"He Youde's family, come up and get your money."

Accountant Wang spoke slowly and unhurriedly. After he finished taking care of each household, he would start calling the next household's name.

Every time a household was called out, the owner would happily walk up, take the counted money from the team leader, and then carefully put it into his pocket.

He Youde's wife took the money, held it tightly in her hand, and had a happy smile on her face!

"Hey, with this money, we can buy a few more pounds of pork when we slaughter the New Year pig at the end of the month."

Wang Dazhu's wife, who had just received the money, nodded happily in agreement.

"Yes, with this money, I can buy a lot more New Year's goods! My grandson was clamoring for candy a few days ago. When I have some free time... I'll go to the commune and weigh out a pound of fruit candy to give to the children at home."

Wang Yaozu's mother, who had only one precious son at home, heard their conversation and joined in with a smile.

"If you ask me, this money came at the perfect time. My son Yaozu has been clamoring for a new outfit and a pair of Liberation Shoes for the New Year, and I was just short of the money... so here I am, making up for it!"

After Wang Yaozu's mother finished speaking, she raised the two dollars in her hand, and the smile on her face was even happier than if she had bought new clothes!

......

After receiving the money, the villagers all smiled from ear to ear!

Of course...there are a few exceptions.

There was a family that separated after they got married. The man in the family died of illness, leaving only orphans and a widowed mother, with no able-bodied labor in the family.

There is a family where only elderly grandparents are left at home, living with their two young grandchildren.

There was another family where the husband broke his leg while climbing the mountain. His wife was the only laborer in the family, and they had three children to support.

Each of these families has their own hardships and difficulties!

When these people received the money, their eyes were filled with tears of sadness and joy.

For them, these two dollars are already a lot...

In this age where even a penny can make a hero fall!

More than two yuan...if exchanged for coarse grains in the village, it would be enough for the whole family to eat for more than half a month.

When I think about the spring, summer, autumn and winter of next year...

Their village can earn several times the profit from harvesting tea leaves.

The joy and excitement in these people's hearts are accompanied by a sense of security that hard work has paid off and the future is promising.

Several families in the village with many children share the same feeling as them.

This kind of large family believes that having many children means more blessings. Even if the family is almost poor and can't even make ends meet, it cannot stop them from having children.

The only lucky thing about them is probably that they were born in the south where there are abundant natural resources.

So even the food that the family received every year was not enough to eat...

But as long as they are a little more diligent, go to the mountains more often, and bring back more edible wild vegetables and fruits, they can barely make ends meet.

But if from now on...

The people in their village can get some money from selling tea every year, so why should they worry about not having a good life!

Moreover, if this trend continues, their family will be able to support a few more children.

When I think about their big family growing and flourishing in the future...

The descendants are as numerous as the stars, and the family is prosperous like the rising sun!

They couldn't contain the smiles on their faces.
