Chapter 47: Separation
Yang Kaifu covered his forehead which was a little painful.
He stared at the latter with a sullen expression and said word by word, "Paying public grain is the traditional rule. You have to pay it, whether you want to or not. Even if I am dismissed as the team leader, there are still people going door to door to urge you to pay!"
Because of the trust between each other, their village paid public grain and then distributed it to each household.
Now that this bad thing happened, Yang Kaifu, like a clay man, also got a little angry, and at this moment he scolded without mercy.
"Zhang Dagen, you keep saying you work hard to earn food, but you've been working for a few days now. How did you manage to earn those work points? Don't you feel guilty?"
Zhang Laizi stood aside nonchalantly, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
He also didn't get much food.
Seeing that everyone's attitude was not very good, He Jiancheng quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Everyone, don't worry. Even though we've only been given this much food, we can apply for relief food later. With weekly food transfers, it will eventually be our turn..."
The village party secretary's attitude was sincere.
Everyone started whispering to each other again. In fact, everyone understood that they could not avoid the public grain tax and it would come sooner or later. They could only tighten their belts and wait until the time for the relief grain to be distributed.
Qin Qing looked at Captain Yang, who stood in front of her with his back straight. Her eyes were filled with worry. She asked softly, "Dad, is there really any relief food?"
Qin Zhilin pursed his lips and did not answer.
Instead, Zhu Lihua squeezed her daughter's hand and shook her head to signal her not to ask. At this moment, she would be in the center of the storm if she was not careful.
Qin Qing understood in his heart that the people in Yangjia Village had indeed never experienced a famine, so they believed the nonsense about relief food.
As for those refugees, they probably saw through these tricks long ago, so they were all in a depressed mood, which led to Zhang Laizi's act of hitting people.
The meeting ended in a bad mood.
That same day, Yang Kaifu had people drive tractors to pull large bags of grain into the farm.
Listening to the rumbling sound of the tractors, many people's hearts were bleeding. They saw a good harvest this year, but who knew they would not be able to live a good life.
Finally, someone who realized it later ran up the mountain quickly, fearing that it would be too late and there would be nothing.
The remaining food was distributed the next day. Qin Zhilin and Goudan carried the food in the early morning. In total, their family received 30 kilograms of unhusked rice and five yuan.
With just this little bit of food, we have to wait until next autumn harvest. No wonder some people are making a fuss.
Yang Liansheng was given a kilogram of rice and two yuan, and walked into the yard with difficulty.
It also included the small amount of rations that Zhang Ying was allocated.
Zhang Ying stood up and carried the small amount of food over. She kicked the bag with her toes and said in surprise, "Captain Yang is really a bit cruel with just this little food. How can we survive with such a small amount of food?"
Yang Liansheng replied coldly, "Whether there's more food or less, I can still let you starve!"
The boy meant something.
Zhang Ying immediately jumped up and down like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, cursing, "What do you mean? Ah, explain it clearly. How can you survive the winter with just this little food you earn? You still have to eat and use our food."
"Aunt, if you're willing to work, you'll get more food."
"Bah! I have a father but no mother to teach me. You are the one who teaches me..."
The young man was slightly startled, and then his breathing became heavy, his handsome eyes staring at the woman gloomily.
