The characteristic of this era is to pay enough to the state, leave enough for the collective, and distribute the rest according to the rules.
"Paying enough to the state" means paying public grain, with priority given to selecting high-quality grains, and delivering them to the commune grain depot according to the prescribed weight of wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, soybeans and other grains.
"Leaving enough for the collective" meant leaving enough grain for the production team's own use, such as seeds for the next year's production, feed for cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, and food for entertaining guests.
"The rest will be distributed according to the rules" means that the remaining food will be distributed according to the regulations of each region.
Generally, the distribution is based on the method of 70% of people to 30% of labor. In fact, in many areas, the ratio is 60% of people to 40% of labor, or even 50% of people to 50% of labor. This refers to the ratio of per capita grain to per capita grain.
The larger the proportion of per capita food, the more it guarantees the basic survival rights of military martyrs' families, lonely elderly people, orphans, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and families with small labor force.
"Is three hundred and sixty enough? " describes the characteristics of grain distribution in this era. Each person can get a minimum of three hundred and sixty kilograms of grain per year, and these three hundred and sixty kilograms of grain are all unprocessed raw grain.
Depending on the harvest season, after the per capita rations were distributed, the work points earned by each family could be exchanged for grain, or for money according to the value of the work points in that year.
The land in the north is rich in grain. As long as there is no particularly severe natural disaster, the distributed grain is basically enough to eat if you save it a little.
But there will definitely be times when there is a shortage of food. Fortunately, every family has its own private plot. The food and vegetables grown in the private plots cannot completely solve the problem of food shortage, but they can alleviate some difficulties.
Housewives who are good at budgeting plant crops in every corner of their private plots, leaving no space wasted. This way, they can supplement their chicken butt bank throughout the year. This is how every household survives.
After paying the public grain tax, it is the happiest time for everyone, as the grain will be distributed.
The team sent out a notice yesterday, asking everyone to go to the drying yard to collect food today.
In previous years, she had to shamelessly collect the head rations. The minimum head ration for one person was 360 kilograms, and for her, Dabao and Erbao, it was 1,080 kilograms. Although there was often only a small portion of fine grain, it was better than nothing. She could buy some more food to make up for it, and she could still get by.
Logically speaking, people who don't work are not eligible to receive per capita rations, and the people in the team also complained about this, but her father-in-law is the branch secretary, and her husband is a soldier, and military families should be given special care, so no one dared to object.
During this period of this year, their family also earned some work points, so they can collect rations with confidence. Gu Tingzhou's rations are related to the army, so his do not count. Qinghuan's rations are related to Hanjia Village, so it is still divided among the three of them.
No wonder people have so many children these days. One more child means one more source of food, especially for a baby. It’s such a great deal.
Li Qingyun was too lazy to queue up, so she asked Gu Tingzhou to wait until the afternoon when the grain distribution was almost over and then borrow a cart to bring it back.
This year was a good year, and the coarse grains and fine grains were divided in half, and students could choose the types of grains themselves. In the end, Gu Tingzhou brought back a total of 200 kilograms of millet, 200 kilograms of wheat, 50 kilograms of soybeans, 50 kilograms of various beans, 300 kilograms of corn, 200 kilograms of potatoes, 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 30 kilograms of onions.
She didn't plan to buy more food this year. The food in the space was more than enough, and the cabbage and radishes from her own land were enough for the winter. Now she had also received potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Since the autumn harvest, the three of them have earned a total of 23.40 yuan in work points. Gu Tingzhou took the money directly and gave it to Li Qingyun. Gu's father asked him if he wanted to exchange it for food, but he refused, saying that the family had enough to eat for the time being.
Li Qingyun gave Qinghuan the eight dollars that belonged to her. After all, this was the result of her hard work over this period of time.
"Sister, I don't want it. I live and eat at your house every day, and everything costs money. Not only did you not ask me for money, but you also stuffed some of your own money into my pocket when I went back before. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford to hire Chunsheng for help. Please put it away." Qinghuan said sincerely.
"Okay, if you need anything, just ask me."
Li Qingyun was very pleased that the sister she helped was a grateful person. Seeing that she really didn't want it, she kept it. Anyway, Qinghuan would get married in the future, and she would have to prepare a dowry and so on, so there were indeed a lot of places to spend money.
After the food was distributed here, the next day, Gu's father accompanied Gu Tingzhou to Hanjia Village. Gu's father was also familiar with the party secretary and team leader of Hanjia Village. After some banter, he finally got back Qinghuan's head food for a year.
As the Han family was arrested, they no longer recognized work points and so on. It was good to be able to get the food back, and the family was quite satisfied.
In total, they brought back 100 kilograms of millet, 50 kilograms of wheat, 50 kilograms of corn, 60 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 100 kilograms of potatoes.
Qinghuan also specially gave five kilograms of millet to Gu's father to thank him for making the trip. After all, if he hadn't gone there, Hanjia Village might not have given it to her, after all, her influence was not influential.
Li Qingyun was very happy to see that she now had some method in her actions and knew how to deal with human relationships. She also taught her a lot of ways to behave in society.
On the same afternoon, after Gu's father and his companions returned with food, the village fish pond was also ready to catch fish. This large fish pond had been filled with water for several days, and there was only a shallow layer of water left, which was just the right time to go down and catch fish.
Today happened to be the weekend, and Dabao didn't go to school. After lunch, he followed Maotou to watch the fishing. Li Qingyun was worried, so she had to follow the two of them, fearing that the crowds would squeeze them into the fish pond. Only Qinghuan was left at home to take care of Erbao.
Following Gu's father's order, the men in the village took all kinds of tools, rolled up their trouser legs, and went into the water to fish. The joy of eating fish made them forget the coldness of the pond water for a short time, and they worked hard.
Big fish were thrown into a temporary pool built on the shore, where they jumped around and enjoyed their last moments.
Although Gu Tingzhou's leg injury was basically healed, the water in the pond was icy cold. Li Qingyun was afraid that his wound would be frozen, so she didn't let him go in. The two of them stood on the shore, watching this rare spectacle with great interest.
One has not been seen for decades, and the other has never been seen.
A circle of children gathered around the pond, pointing and commenting on whose fish was bigger, which one was heavier, and which one was lighter. It was very lively.
