As the only girl in the Gu family’s third generation, Gu Qingqing grew up as the apple of her grandparents’ eyes.
Her father was the production team's leader, her second uncle was a renow...
"Dad, I paid attention today. The farm work that usually requires a dozen people to do for several days was completed in one morning. This shows that this method can improve efficiency. Don't you have two deputy captains below? Can you let me do it? Uncle Han and Uncle Qiao went to the team for inspection respectively. Only those with qualified quality will be awarded points. If the quality is not up to standard, the points will be deducted. "
This will fundamentally cure the bad habit of paying people the same for good and bad work.
Otherwise, people like Zhang Bufan could be counted with the same work points as Gu Xiong and others, which would be unfair to the members who really put in the hard work.
Gu Jin was not a dullard. After listening to his daughter, he stood up and rubbed his hands excitedly, turning around in circles: "Your uncle Han is from Dagouzi Village, and Qiao Cong is from our Datunzi Village. In order to avoid the same village letting the water go, let your uncle Qiao inspect the production team of Dagouzi Village, and your uncle Han inspect the quality of the team of Datunzi Village. In this way, they will have nothing to say."
"My dear!" Gu Jin held the girl's head with his big hands and rubbed it hard a few times: "You are really a good girl of my father!"
Without waiting for Gu Qingqing's response, he hummed an unknown tune and headed for the brigade headquarters, not forgetting to wave his hand and say, "Tell your grandma that I won't be back for dinner."
Gu Qingqing looked up at her cousin's confused eyes and shrugged: "Brother, let's eat first."
"Eh? Okay."
In the afternoon, the people of the production team worked together to complete the autumn ploughing and plant rice the next day.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone is working very hard, hoping to finish work early and go home to grind some tofu and make some mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The team does not have much farmland, only 2,489 acres, but there are more than 500 households in Dagouzi Village and Datunzi Village, with a total population of about 8,500, the largest population among all production teams.
There are many families like the Gu family, where their sons get married but do not separate their households.
Therefore, it is common to see a large family with 20 to 30 people, and there are also households with 2 to 3 people. In the early years, the production team planted two crops of rice a year, but later when the grain was distributed, it was found that the roots were not enough, so now the production team plants three crops of rice.
The current yield per mu is 455 kilograms. The fields in Dagouzi Village and Datunzi Village are not fertile, so this yield can only be considered medium. They still have to pay for grain every year, about 200 kilograms per mu, which is 1,493,400 kilograms a year.
After paying the requisitioned grain, the remaining grain would be enough for seeds and reserve grain, and about 200 to 300 kilograms per person, with some fodder grain left. At the end of the year, another ration would be allocated based on 70% of labor per person.
This depends on how much labor a family has. The Gu family receives about 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms of grain every year, making them a well-known surplus-food household in the team. Zhang Bufan's family is a typical food-scarce household.
Gu Qingqing thought that her father definitely wanted to turn the wasteland into farmland, and the silt in the pond could be cleared out and used to fill the ground for compost. The pig and cow dung raised by the team were all excellent fertilizers. The output in the first year might be only about two or three hundred kilograms, and the output would slowly increase by plowing deeper and piling more fertilizer.
After work at noon, Gu Qingqing returned to the Gu family yard after recording her work points. She saw Gu Cai directing Yuan Chaoge to grind beans. She rushed over in surprise and joy: "Third Uncle! You're back!"
He looked at the little girl in his arms and laughed: "It seems that our Qingqing has grown a bit taller. Last time she was only at Uncle San's chin, but now she is almost at his nose."
"She is fed all the good things at home, but she won't grow fast." Shi Rushuang brought a wooden bucket over to collect the pulp: "Your aunt brought you an enamel cup. It's in the inner room. Don't bother your uncle."
Her third aunt Zhang Yuqing worked in an enamel factory. The salary was not high, only twenty yuan, but they could take away any enamel cups and washbasins with chips or peeling paint in the factory, which was considered an employee benefit.
"No, no, our Qingqing is the best." Gu Cai said with a smile: "Uncle San and Aunt San saved up two months' worth of meat coupons and bought a piece of three-layer pork belly. After making tofu, they will make dumplings for our darling baby."
"I want the one with leek and pork stuffing!" Gu Qingqing hurriedly ran to the inner room to look at her enamel cup. She had been eyeing the green enamel cup provided to the troops for a long time.
I don’t know if that’s the kind that Auntie brought her.
"Okay, okay, pork and leek stuffing. You guys also caught some shrimps, so let's get some corn and shrimp."
Gu Baoguang felt his mouth water just by listening to him as he added soaked soybeans into the stone mill with a ladle.
When Gu Qingqing saw the military green enamel cup on the wooden table, she couldn't let it go. She held the cup and looked at it from left to right. She also stuck to Zhang Yuqing and called her "Auntie is the best" and "Auntie is the most beautiful" sweetly a few times before she happily went to Zhao Yu to show off.
