Chapter 35 Lu Yunxiao is in trouble
Two days later, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky from time to time. Now the entire Victory Brigade has turned into a vast expanse of white.
At the same time, it was time to distribute food. As soon as the sun rose, Deng Minghao and Li Ruolan went to collect food with the other educated youth at the educated youth point.
It had only been four months since the new educated youth came to Shengli Brigade. Deng Minghao normally earned nine work points, and 12 or full work points during the busy farming season.
Li Ruolan earned seven work points, and even ten points during the busy farming season.
There were also rules for distributing grain in production teams. Generally, the distribution was 70% to 30% or 80% to 20%, that is, 70% to the population and 30% to the work points.
Generally, the annual quota for strong male laborers is 600 kilograms, and for female laborers, it is 500 kilograms. Children are divided into third, fourth, and fifth grades, usually 420 kilograms and 300 kilograms respectively. Children under two years old are given 180 kilograms per year.
This amount of food will be distributed only if the work points reach a certain standard after working for a full year. If the work points are not enough, other rules will naturally have to be followed.
As they were new educated youth who had just arrived and had only been in the Victory Brigade for four months, their calculations could naturally not be based on this situation.
So they could only exchange work points for food. The work points Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao earned together could only get them about 300 kilograms of food.
300 kilograms of food were not enough for two people to survive the winter, but they could still use the money to buy food from the production team. The price would be much cheaper than at the grain station, and no tickets were required.
Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao discussed it and decided to buy another 500 kilograms. This was enough for them to eat for a year, and 800 kilograms was not enough. However, the two of them could only buy that much at most. If they wanted to buy more, the production team would not sell it to them.
Both of them bought corn, which was 1.5 cents per pound, and they spent 75 yuan for 500 pounds.
They have everything they need in their space, so there is no need to eat corn every day. The corn they buy will just be fed to pigs.
The two sows in the space are now pregnant. Soon, they will have a lot of piglets. There is not much corn in the warehouse, so these can enough to feed them for a while.
Because Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun had received a share of the money when they sold the wild boar, they had some money left over, and each of them bought about fifty yuan worth of food.
350 kilograms, plus the 150 kilograms of food they shared, a total of 500 kilograms. If they eat sparingly, it will be enough for them to eat for a year.
Zhou Shengnan, Zheng Fanghua and Liu Kunming did not receive many work points and only received about 100 kilograms of food.
They also bought fifty yuan worth of food, and each person carried back 450 kilograms of food. Together with the chestnuts, red dates, yams and other things they had stored during this period, they could ensure that they would not go hungry even if they were not full.
If all else fails, wait until spring and pick some wild vegetables and fruits, which will last you about a year.
After distributing the food, the entire team became completely idle and entered the hibernation period.
The snow started to fall again, and it continued to fall until mid-December, when the sky cleared up.
After hibernating at home for more than half a month, Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao basically spent the time in the space. The crops in the space mature about once every four months, and they were busy harvesting various things in the space.
The harvest included 2,000 kilograms of corn, 1,200 kilograms of wheat, 1,500 kilograms of sugarcane, and 400 kilograms of cotton.
We harvested a lot of fruits, including strawberries, blueberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, and cherry tomatoes. However, the orange and apple saplings are still too small. They have grown a lot in eight months, but we haven't seen any results yet.
After harvesting all the crops in the field, the two men rested for two days and then replanted two acres of corn, one acre of wheat, and one acre of upland rice.
The pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese that will be raised in the space in the future will definitely need to eat corn for every meal, so we must plant more corn, otherwise there will not be enough for them to eat.
After replanting the land, Deng Minghao and Li Ruolan began to crush the corn in the space with a manual crusher.
The wheat also needs to be ground into flour, and as for the sugarcane, they are going to make brown sugar.
Although the two of them stayed in the space most of the time, they would still go out to cook when it was time for dinner so that smoke would come out of the chimney and others would not notice them.
As the New Year was getting closer, Li Ruolan had planned to go to town to buy some New Year's goods, but who knew that after the seventeenth day, it started snowing again.
Deng Minghao has to go to the roof every day to sweep away the snow on the roof, otherwise if there is too much snow, it may collapse the house.
Deng Minghao got up early in the morning and was sweeping the snow on the roof in the heavy snow when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
Li Ruolan went to open the door and saw that the person knocking was Qin Wan.
"What's wrong with you? How did you get into this state? Come into the house and get on the kang to warm up." Li Ruolan looked at Qin Wan in surprise, then took her hand and went into the house.
Qin Wan was in a sorry state at this moment. Her nose and cheeks were red from the cold, her eyes were also red, and her body was covered in blood. It looked like she had fallen.
Qin Wan stood still and said, "Something happened to Lu Yunxiao! I want you to come and save him!"
Deng Minghao had already come down from the ladder at this time, and came over with a frown: "What's going on? What happened to Lu Yunxiao?"
“Since the beginning of winter, Lu Yunxiao has come to give me things every now and then, but this time I haven’t seen Lu Yunxiao for five or six days.
I thought he was sick, so I went to his house to see him, but Lu Yunxiao was not at home. I saw that the people in his family looked strange and said they would report to the police. Only then did they tell the truth.
After winter came, Lu Yunxiao's sister-in-law became pregnant again, but there was not much food at home. She was craving for game, so she asked Lu Yunxiao's eldest brother to go to the mountains to hunt.
Lu Yunxiao's elder brother asked Lu Yunxiao to go with him, and the two of them went into the snow mountain together. As a result, Lu Yunxiao's elder brother came back from the snow mountain, but Lu Yunxiao was left in the snow mountain.
I asked them if they had gone to look for Lu Yunxiao, but they said the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, so they didn’t go.”
Deng Minghao and Li Ruolan were both shocked: "Just because the mountain was closed due to heavy snow, they just left Lu Yunxiao in the snowy mountain?
Is Lu Yunxiao their biological child? Aren’t they too cruel? "
When she was reading the novel before, Li Ruolan felt that Lu Yunxiao was not valued at home, but he was just the second male lead and there was not much description of him in the book.
Li Ruolan didn't know anything else about Lu Yunxiao, such as whether he was Lu's biological child.
However, seeing the cold-blooded state of the Lu family, Li Ruolan felt that Lu Yunxiao was probably not really a biological child of the Lu family.
Deng Minghao immediately went back to change his clothes: “I’ll go change my clothes, you go see if Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun are willing to go together.
After we change our clothes, we will go find the captain. It would be even better if we can bring a few militiamen with us."
The militiamen all have guns in their hands. If they encounter wild beasts or something in the mountains, guns can guarantee absolute safety.
