In the first year, the educated youth who went to the countryside were allocated 30 yuan of food rations per month by the state.

If you work more, the basic ration will be deducted, and the remaining food can be taken away and exchanged for food or money.

The young soldiers do not need to be compensated because they need an adjustment period in the first year. But it is only for this year, although the young soldiers can still receive food.

However, your own evaluation will not be good, and you will basically have no chance of getting a first-class job in the future.

This means that in the future, even if you work hard, you may not get the job.

When Dong Daqing saw the educated youth calling out people, his whole back straightened up.

When Hu Xiaopang heard that there was still 23.6 yuan left, he said, "Change it into rice for me."

Dong Daqing smiled sarcastically, "There's not that much rice, it can't be exchanged.

Even if you exchange it according to the work ratio, you can only get 20% of the fine food."

The people behind Hu Xiaopang listened carefully. After all, it was their first year in the countryside, and they were not aware of many details.

As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. The policy of the village production team you are assigned to depends entirely on the conscience of the production team.

When Hu Xiaopang heard this, he could only sigh. After eating cornmeal for so long, he really wanted to eat rice. The only two times he had eaten it were when he got it from the black market.

"Then let's exchange them in proportion."

Hu Xiaopang walked aside with the 37 grams of rice and 155 grams of cornmeal he had exchanged in his arms.

The wages are similar, so naturally the pay is the same. The only difference is Zhou Rongrong and Shen Shili.

The two Zhou brothers who were arrested did not say anything and simply transferred their food supplies away.

Shen Shili and Zhou Rongrong have no work to do during these days when they are on leave.

Not only that, but a little bit was deducted. When Lin Weiwan agreed to go back to Hai City with the Zhou family, the Zhou brothers and sisters not only paid for Lin Weiwan's transportation but also paid for the half month's deduction of work for Lin Weiwan.

So… among the group of educated youth, only Shen Shili and Zhou Rongrong did not receive any food, and it was because Shen Shili’s household registration and food were transferred away.

The reporter and accountant Li calculated the amount of 28 yuan for the supplementary production team. They left quickly with dark faces.

Shen Shili didn't expect this result, but there was nothing he could do.

Since I was detained in the team, I couldn't leave without paying.

Now I see that I only have 200 yuan brought out from home.

"Rongrong, I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Take this two hundred yuan. Take good care of yourself and the child.

You are pregnant and you can't go to work. If you are in good health, you can go to work. The workers will keep you in mind. I will send you the money when I get paid."

Shen Shili looked at Zhou Rongrong's face which was covered with waxy yellow urine these past two days, and handed the two big black dogs in his arms to Zhou Rongrong.

This money was from Shen's mother's private savings, secretly given to Shen Shili.

Zhou Rongrong found her small floral cloth wallet from the kangqin.

There was only two yuan and fifty cents left in it, so Shen Shili stuffed the two hundred yuan into it.

"Brother Shi Li, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. You should come and pick me up soon. I'm so scared here by myself."

Zhou Rongrong threw herself into Shen Shili's arms. She had her back to Shen Shili but a serious expression on her face.

The next day, Zhou Rongrong sent Shen Shili to the village entrance and watched the man leave. She felt very upset.

As if he had no one to rely on, he just left like that, abandoning himself in the countryside and leaving like that.

He said that if he found a job, he would ask his connections to find it for him.

But it's not that easy to find a job. If Lin Weiwan had been willing to give me the job, how could it have turned out like this now?

Looking at the cabbage piled up like a small mountain, Lin Weiwan thought of many ways to eat it.

Soon it was Lin Weiwan's turn to receive the cabbages. According to the work ratio, Lin Weiwan received six cabbages.

Look at Aunt Chunhua's family. They have eight sons. Not to mention how much rice they earned, they already filled a cart with cabbages.

Indeed, in this era, having more children means more labor and more food.

Ye Jibai pushed a cart and helped Lin Weiwan tie up the potatoes and cabbages.

There is a cellar in the front yard, but it doesn’t matter whether Lin Weiwan’s dishes are put in the cellar or not.

Lin Weiwan decided to just stock up on sauerkraut and then ask Auntie Li to get some Chinese cabbage.

Although there are more and tastier cabbages in the space, the surface work still needs to be done.

She picked up some hair algae and started working directly on the ground, removing the bad leaves. Lin Weiwan secretly sent them into the space as food for the chicken family.

Put the rest on a wood rack to dry. The sun is good today, so let it dry for two days to control the water accumulation. The sauerkraut will taste better and less likely to spoil.

Zhou Rongrong walked out of the yard, and many people on the street looked at her with pity.

The man returned to the city by himself and took his pregnant wife to the countryside.

It's so unpleasant to say this to others, it's the same as being abandoned.

Zhou Rongrong felt uncomfortable being stared at, and saw Auntie Wang next door carrying a basket, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Wang Qiuyan looked at Zhou Rongrong's pale face and thought of herself when she was pregnant and had poor food and clothes.

"I'm going to my sister's house. Why are you wearing so little? Wear more clothes when it's cold."

Zhou Rongrong didn't expect that Aunt Wang, who usually didn't talk much, would be so kind and care about her.

Thinking that I only had this little money in my pocket, Shen Shili said he would pick me up and send me the money.

But anything that is not in your possession is not yours, and the little money you have now will be used less and less.

The cotton-padded jacket I wear for winter in the house is from when I was in school, and I have been wearing it for two years.

"Thank you, Auntie. My family left me some money. I was thinking of going to the market tomorrow to buy some cloth."

As he said this, he took out the floral bag from his pocket, inside of which were two big black coins.

Wang Qiuyan took a look and said, "Put it away quickly. Don't lose it."

"Don't worry, auntie. This is my gift for today. I'll keep it safe when I get back."

Zhou Rongrong smiled particularly sweetly and put the wallet in her pocket.

Not far away, she saw Lin Weiwan. Zhou Rongrong glanced around and ran straight towards Lin Weiwan.

Looking at Zhou Rongrong standing in front of him, Lin Weiwan subconsciously took two steps back.

Now she is a pregnant woman, and it is hard to explain what happened so close to me.

"Xiao Wan, don't be like this. We have known each other for so many years. Do you really want to be with me?"

Zhou Rongrong looked at Lin Weiwan tenderly, with a cautious look, as if she was afraid that Lin Weiwan would get angry.

Lin Weiwan stared at Zhou Rongrong. What was going on?

"There is nothing to talk about between us."

"Xiao Wan, do you hate me for bringing the Zhou family here to disturb your life? Or are you upset because Shi Li and I got married?

If you want to stop me because of these, you can hit me or scold me, but don't ignore me.

I have been thinking a lot these days. We are classmates and sisters, and this shouldn’t happen.”
