But the people in the village really can't make ends meet. After the farm work is finished, each person will probably only need half a pound of food a day, or maybe even less than half a pound.
So, he still speaks.
Now that he heard that Zeng Wangcai was doing so well, he felt less worried.
Zeng Laosan saw that Zhang Xiuzhi didn't say anything, so he quickly explained, "We're not giving it to the villagers to eat, we're taking it to the commune. Our harvest this year is actually better than last year, but life is getting worse and worse, and the commune wants too much.
