Chapter 340: Food Distribution
Before Zhao Yuyin and Widow Hu and other spies fell into the trap, the Ping An Brigade was busy paying public grain.
This time, the amount of public grain paid by the Ping'an Brigade was much higher than before, which attracted the attention of the higher-ups.
Because of the lesson of a period of time when false reporting of grain production led to famine, the higher-ups were quite strict about this matter.
So the leaders of the commune sent people to investigate.
This investigation revealed that Ping'an Brigade did not falsify the data. It was only because Ping'an Brigade planted Nanyou No. 2 rice this year that their rice production doubled.
The commune leader was very happy: "Well, well, well, well, Comrade Jiang, you are all great in your brigade. Only your Ping'an brigade planted this kind of seeds here. You are really brave and you did a good job."
This matter is beneficial to their entire Red Star Commune.
"I will ask our city's reporters to report on this. Your Ping An Brigade will definitely win the Outstanding Brigade Award this year."
As soon as the leader said this, the already happy captain became even more excited and his face turned red.
"Thank you, leaders. This is all because of the leaders' good leadership. This is mainly because of our comrade Lin Zhen. If he hadn't found the newspaper and brought the seeds of Nanyou No. 2, we wouldn't have discovered that this rice is so excellent!"
He didn't mention Song Wei because Song Wei had told him many times not to mention her name when meeting the leader.
The team leader didn't understand. This was such an honorable thing, why didn't Song Zhiqing care about it?
Song Wei: Thanks for the invitation. It’s not a big deal. I feel like a horse being followed by so many people.
Lin Zhen: ...I think I told you not to mention me.
But the captain pulled him over directly.
Song Zhiqing, forget it, but it's not right for a grown man like you to hide! Soon, the news that the rice production in Ping'an Brigade had doubled spread to the brigades around the Red Star Commune.
The other communes were immediately in an uproar.
Now that the public grain has been paid, the work in the fields has become much easier. The team leaders, squad leaders, village secretaries and so on from other brigades have all come to see the team leader of the Ping'an Brigade.
"Old Lei, are we still brothers? You secretly changed the rice seeds without telling me!"
"You are really good. You have taken all the limelight this time. You bought a tractor and planted watermelons. Now the rice yield has doubled. And you have a vegetable greenhouse. When did your peace team change so much?"
The people from other teams were so envious that their eyes turned red.
By this calculation, Ping'an Brigade is definitely the richest among the surrounding brigades this year.
The Fu Kang Brigade, which had always been number one, was now feeling a little uncomfortable. They were always ahead in everything and were the first to buy a tractor. In the past, they had never taken the Ping An Brigade seriously.
After all, the Ping'an Brigade was very poor before and couldn't even afford a tractor.
But I don’t know when the Ping An Brigade changed.
The off-season vegetable greenhouses in winter caused a sensation in the entire city, and even leaders and reporters came to ask about it.
Later, for some unknown reason, we were approved to grow watermelons. This summer, we must have made a lot of money just from selling watermelons.
The Ping'an Brigade has also bought a tractor, and the Dog Brigade is also very famous, and now it's the rice.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
Jiang Lei has been the captain for so long that he still has some ability to deal with them.
He was happy even if he was treated sarcastically.
After all, their Ping An Brigade didn't have the ability to be envied by others before.
All in all, all this is thanks to Song Zhiqing and Lin Zhen.
It's a pity that both of them are too low-key and don't want to publicize it.
The advantages of Nanyou No. 2 are so obvious, it goes without saying that all the surrounding teams will use this seed next year.
After paying the public grain tax and counting the weight of the grain, the whole brigade was as festive as if it were New Year, and the faces of the old people were all smiles.
When the adults are happy, the children will naturally be happy too.
Soon it was the moment everyone was looking forward to the most, and everyone started to distribute the food.
This year's centimeter value has doubled compared to last year! Everyone was so happy that they started discussing it enthusiastically.
The family gathered together to discuss how much food to exchange, what kind of food to exchange it for, and how much money to exchange it for.
This year's work points are valuable, and most people are willing to exchange them for better food.
Song Wei and Lin Zhen did not ask for money, but directly exchanged it for rice, flour, and a small amount of coarse grains.
Seeing that they had exchanged so many fine foods, everyone else was extremely envious.
But it was just a few words of crickets about how the two young people didn't know how to live.
The ugliest people this year are Old Man Lin and his family.
Old man Lin and his two sons all came. In order to exchange their work points for more food, they did not exchange any fine rice or flour.
Otherwise there won’t be enough food for so many people at home.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After all, there are a few laborers in their family. Although their total work points are not the lowest, there are too many people in the family.
Now two of them are still paralyzed at home, and they need others to serve them besides eating.
Old man Lin looked at Lin Zhen, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Lin Zhen didn't even look at him, and was about to leave with the food, but was stopped by the team leader.
"Lin Zhen, don't leave yet. Everyone, don't leave after you've taken the food. The work points for the watermelons are calculated separately. We don't have that much food, so the work points for the watermelons can only be converted into money. And there are a few people who invested money in the greenhouse before, so we have to settle this account clearly as well."
Speaking of this, everyone who had invested in greenhouses before was smiling happily.
Those who didn't vote were extremely upset.
"Captain, are you still investing money in the vegetable greenhouse this year? I want to invest some!"
"Me too, my family also invested some."
The captain calmed the man down and said, "Let's discuss this matter and then decide. Don't panic. Let's divide the food and the money for the watermelons first."
This year, we made more money from watermelons, and the profit from grain, rice, doubled, but overall it’s just that much.
Therefore, not all work points can be exchanged for food, otherwise there will not be enough food.
After the food was exchanged, the team leader called everyone up one by one to exchange their work points for watermelons.
Everyone was grinning with joy as they received the money.
This year's money is twice as much as last year! The watermelons must have made a lot of money.
In the end, only the money invested in the vegetable greenhouse was left.
Song Wei and Lin Zhenguang made a profit of more than one hundred yuan each, while the others made at least a dozen yuan.
After all the accounts were divided, the team leader said, "We have gained some experience this year, so I decided to expand the scale of vegetable greenhouse cultivation. Do you plan to continue investing money?"
The crowd who just got the money and it’s not even warm yet: ………
But having tasted the sweetness, they gritted their teeth and decided to invest.
Song Wei and Lin Zhen also invested, but not much, only one hundred.
They don't expect to make money from the vegetable greenhouse, so let other villagers earn some too.
The captain held a meeting that evening, and this time more people participated in the investment.
The team leader happily asked the accountant to record all the accounts.
