Actually, what Gu Yunyang said made sense.
But the village does this because it's very profitable.
Where did the half of the grain that was withheld go?
Even though Gu Yunyang didn't say it, Yang Shengnan and Han Xue had actually thought of it as well.
As for whether the office for educated youth will take action?
Han Xue was somewhat puzzled: "Doesn't the educated youth office care?"
Gu Yunyang turned around, not needing to pay attention to the ox; it would choose its own path.
With the ability to control beasts, the ox's intelligence seemed to have improved, and it would follow Gu Yunyang's wishes.
He looked at Han Xue with amusement and said, "Did you know that the subsidies for educated youth are divided into two parts?"
Han Xue nodded: "I know. When I signed up, I received a subsidy of 120 yuan. They said the rest would be provided by the local youth affairs office."
The subsidies given to educated youth varied from place to place, and it was said that the subsidies also differed depending on the location.
The South is almost open year-round, so it wasn't a popular destination for educated youth sent to the countryside.
Most people would choose to go to Northeast China.
Although it's cold there, the soil is black and very fertile.
It snows for half the year, which is the time for hibernation.
This means that you only need to work for half the year, and you can rest for the other half and still support yourself.
That wouldn't work in the South, where there's work almost all year round.
Moreover, farming alone involves two seasons a year, and the plowing and harvesting are truly exhausting.
"Do you know what the educated youth office will do with the other half?" Gu Yunyang asked, amused.
This is a common occurrence; even if you ask, the educated youth office will have something to say.
Han Xue shook her head, and Yang Shengnan said, "I'm being honest. This part is divided into two parts. One part is for building houses in the village, and the other part is a grain subsidy for us."
Gu Yunyang nodded: "So, you understand now?"
Han Xue's eyes widened; she clearly still didn't understand.
Yang Shengnan sighed, pulled Han Xue close to her ear, and whispered, "The housing needs to be provided by the village, and the price is ultimately decided by the educated youth office and the village."
The other part of the grain was the same.
The educated youth office can also make its own purchases and then distribute them to the villages.
Or you could give the money directly to the village and have them make the purchases.
Han Xue then realized that there were so many intricacies involved in this matter.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Although her family is not short of money and does not rely on these work points to make a living.
However, it's never pleasant to have your things taken from you.
Gu Yunyang saw this but had no other good ideas, so he simply said, "The villagers are also holding a grudge."
There was only so much land to begin with, and with the arrival of educated youth, a portion of the grain had to be allocated to them.
So, there's nothing we can do about this, whether we go to the commune or the educated youth office.
If you push me and I push you, it's hard to pinpoint who's responsible for this.
Moreover, halving the amount wouldn't starve the educated youth. If they still had the resettlement allowance they received before, they could simply buy some grain from the village.
At worst, we can just buy whole grains. They may not taste good, but at least they'll keep us alive.
Sweet potatoes actually taste alright, but you can't eat them every day.
Even the most delicious food can become tiresome if you eat it too much.
Moreover, eating too many sweet potatoes, just like eating beans every day, can easily cause flatulence.
"Alright, our village should be fine. Don't worry about it. We're not short of food, so why bother with such trivial matters?"
Both of them nodded.
Knowing this matter, it's a tangled mess that's hard to unravel.
Fortunately, everyone had enough food, so they didn't worry about it.
Upon arriving at the police station, Gu Yunyang instructed Yang Shengnan and the others to guard the oxcart and their belongings under the shade of a tree while he went inside to inquire.
However, once inside, I found it to be quite noisy.
