Is Du Erni starting to complain about being poor?
It's really speechless.
Gu Yunyang glanced at Du Erni with amusement and interrupted her, saying, "Aren't you from the Red Flag Brigade? As long as you work in the fields to earn work points, it's hard to say in previous years, but didn't you also receive assistance from the brigade leader?"
This year, the work points for the Red Flag Brigade are worth more. Besides, the Red Flag Brigade grew so many sweet potatoes, isn't that enough to feed you all?
Huh?
Du Erni's attempt to complain about being poor ended abruptly.
What else could she say?
Gu Yunyang said that they received help from Gu Hanping last year.
If she dares to deny it, and then tells Gu Yunyang and Gu Hanping, can she still expect Gu Hanping to help her in the future?
Moreover, as everyone knows, the Hongqi Brigade set up a sugar-making workshop this year, so they planted a lot of sweet potatoes.
Not only were they planted in the orchard, but they also reclaimed additional land on the mountain.
The work points for the Red Flag Brigade this year are definitely worth more than last year; last year, one work point was only worth one cent.
This year it should at least double, right?
Even more than that.
Those sugar workshops can earn tens of dollars a day.
That money will amount to several thousand yuan by the end of the year.
If you divide it up, each family won't get a share... Hmm? It's only a few dollars.
How could there be so little?
No, that's not right. It should be a few yuan per person, so it would be ten yuan for a family.
What's that enough?
Gu Yunyang continued, "Besides, the Hongqi Brigade has started growing mushrooms now. One mushroom spawn bag can produce several kilograms of mushrooms at a time. You can grow them at home. If you grow mushrooms well, how can you go hungry? Besides, doesn't your husband work at the meat processing plant? Can't he support a few children? Then I'll start to suspect that you're not doing anything at home."
Um……
Du Erni was too embarrassed to speak.
She did relatively little in the past; although she wasn't as inactive as Ning An, she was far less effective than Hao Pingping.
Du Erni hadn't thought of this either; she just instinctively complained about being poor and said she wasn't getting enough to eat.
If I had known, I should have said it was due to insufficient nutrition.
"Alright, it's almost your turn, Aunt Du. Go and collect your grain."
After making a fuss for a while, Gu Yunyang stalled for time, and now it's their turn.
Although there are many people queuing up at the commune during the day, there was no long queue when Gu Yunyang arrived.
Unlike the capital city, where you have to line up the night before to receive food rations.
It's alright in the summer, but in the winter, even wearing a military overcoat would freeze you to death.
Du Erni knew there was probably no way to get food today, so she turned around and took Gu Hanbin's ration book to collect the food.
Gu Yunyang could see the whites of her eyes clearly.
She's truly someone who'll do anything for anyone, and who'll throw the baby out with the food.
He was too lazy to pay attention to Du Erni. He took his newly issued ration book and went upstairs. A clerk took it and, although he saw that it was a ration book that had just been issued that day, did not say anything.
"The grains include rice, a small amount of refined flour, and coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, sorghum, potatoes, and pumpkin. Your ration is twenty catties, with 30% refined grains. You can take six catties of refined grains, and the rest are coarse grains. What do you want?"
Gu Yunyang had already thought it through. After he finished speaking, he said directly, "Give me all rice for the refined grains. As for the coarse grains, give me all sorghum."
Potatoes and pumpkins are used as whole grains, and extra are given when you receive them.
In fact, many urban residents also plant a couple of pumpkin seedlings in their own yards or nearby.
Pumpkins are very productive, and they supplement the family's food supply.
So even though the rations have been reduced, people in Guangdong Province are not starving; they can always find some supplements.
Potatoes are also highly productive; we planted some casually in the base space, and there are more than we can eat.
