Chapter 46 I earn work points to support my family, and you are as beautiful as a flower.
"Honey, time to eat wontons."
Gu Yiye came in and called Lin Shanshan to have lunch.
Upon entering, Gu Yiye saw a large, bright red "囍" (double happiness) character, and his heart pounded. He quickly walked to Lin Shanshan, hugged her tightly, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Shanshan."
Lin Shanshan gently asked him in his arms, "Do you like it?"
Gu Yiye gently stroked her soft hair, his voice tender and sweet: "I like it, I like it so much."
The two hugged for a while, and then Gu Yiye took the initiative to separate. If they didn't separate, he wouldn't eat wontons for lunch and would eat his wife instead.
Gu Yiye held Lin Shanshan's hand as they went to eat wontons. The temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
After eating the wontons, Lin Shanshan went to check on the vegetable garden and was pleasantly surprised to find that the potatoes were also ripe. The potatoes had been planted in two rows, and after the two of them dug them out, there was two more rows of space.
We're still short a few wheat seeds.
Lin Shanshan planted two rows of wheat in her space. Because these two plots were new, she harvested 200 jin of wheat seeds in less than five minutes.
Including the 200 jin I bought from Uncle Wang, and the 100 jin I harvested yesterday, I now have a total of 500 jin of wheat seeds.
At a rate of 15 jin per mu, you can plant 33 mu of land.
Lin Shanshan asked, "Brother Gu, how many militia members are willing to come and reclaim the land?"
Gu Yiye did the math and said, "There are about 10 people."
Lin Shanshan said, "That's perfect. Each person is responsible for 3 mu, and we also need to cultivate 3 mu of land."
Gu Yiye: "Okay, how should we distribute the grain after it's produced?"
Lin Shanshan thought for a moment and realized that the rice in the brigade was planted together and that they had to pay grain taxes to the state.
The current slogan is: Pay enough to the state, keep enough for the collective, and what's left is yours.
In a good year, families who earn more work points can receive more than 500 jin of grain as a ration. If the family eats frugally and adds the "vegetables as a substitute for grain" grown on their own plot of land, they can barely make ends meet for a year.
If the harvest is bad and you don't earn many work points, you'll only get about 300 jin of grain as a ration, and it's all with the husk on, so you won't be able to get enough to eat all year.
In order to get everyone to willingly reclaim land and plant wheat, and to grow wheat well, Lin Shanshan and Gu Yiye discussed: "Director Liu said that we only need to pay 10 jin per mu to the brigade. I have the blessing of Shennong bloodline, and I estimate that a yield of more than 1,000 jin per mu is not a problem. After paying 10 jin to the public, there will still be 990 jin left. How about giving each of the comrades who reclaim land 200 jin per mu?"
Gu Yiye did the math and said, "Each person is responsible for three mu, and they can get 600 jin at harvest time, which is more than the food rations they can get by earning work points in the team. I think it's a good idea. They will be motivated and will probably even bring their families to work with them."
"Yes, divide the land and give rewards. In addition to the basic 200 jin, whoever is in charge of the land will receive an extra 20 jin for every 100 jin of land they are responsible for."
Gu Yiye agreed, saying, "Yes, let's do it that way. My wife is really smart."
Lin Shanshan smiled with her almond-shaped eyes like an adorable little fox, and said coquettishly, "Well, I have my flaws too. Before, no one helped me, so I had to go to the fields to earn work points and pretend to be diligent, but actually I'm very lazy. If I hold a hoe for too long, I'll get blisters, and it hurts so much."
Gu Yiye looked at him with doting eyes and said, "Leave the work points and land reclamation to me. You're a strong man, so I'll take care of earning work points to support the family. You just need to be beautiful."
"Also, take good care of yourself and give me a healthy baby!"
