This year is a bumper harvest compared to previous years. With the grain distributed, our families can survive and won't go hungry.
Next, there are potatoes, broad beans, and beets from our own plot, which will be ready in a year.
The fifth brigade quickly finished distributing the grain, but Song Lili's expression was not good, because the Song family received significantly less grain than the others.
Song Lili could understand that it was less. Only Song Yongren and Song Jianshe in the Song family earned work points, so it was definitely less than a family of five where all the workers were laborers.
Although the sisters also have work points, they can't compare to the work points of a strong laborer, and they can't even compare to the food rations of two people, which is unreasonable.
Song Yongren and Song Jianshe showed no signs of distress. Each of them carried a sack of wheat, while the two sisters carried the remaining half-sack, and they went home.
Yang Mei's family was also included; they didn't receive much, but it was more than Song Lili's family.
Yang Weimin received a special subsidy, which was the team leader's subsidy. With two strong laborers in his family, plus Yang Mei's occasional half-work points, it was reasonable for him to receive these subsidies.
Yang Weimin looked at Song Yongren, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.
Song Lili sensed something from this very keenly, pursed her lips, and followed behind without saying a word, with Song Fang beside her.
As for the half-sack of wheat, Zhang Qinghua carried it, and Li Qinghua helped Yang Mei's family carry it.
Song Lili was preoccupied and didn't pay attention to these things. She knew clearly in her heart that the Song family was being targeted.
But who could it be? Xu Youcai or Luo Weijia? Song Lili couldn't tell.
In her view, these two people had some kind of grudge against them.
Xu Youcai bumped into the original owner of this body, which led her to this place. She also provoked Luo Yuejin, so revenge is understandable. Besides, Luo Juan's gaze towards her wasn't very friendly either.
However, Xu Youcai shouldn't be targeting the Song family. After all, since he knocked down the original owner of this body, Xu Youcai should be the one being targeted.
So, Song Lili set her sights on the Luo family. But is the Luo family really so petty? Do they have to treat a conflict between children like this?
After returning home, with only her family around, Song Lili immediately asked, "Uncle, did you give us less grain than we should have?"
Song Yongren sighed, "Quite a lot, quite a lot, all the work points are recorded!"
Song Lili said angrily, "How is that possible? Our family doesn't even have as many as the crippled second uncle's family. There are only two people in their family, and the crippled second uncle still gets half a work point."
The crippled second uncle's family members all died during a famine a few years ago, leaving only the old man and his sixteen-year-old brother, Yang Lizhu.
Song Jianshe was also in a bad mood, but he knew that the grain distribution this time was not less. "Lili, have you forgotten that Grandma was sick in the spring? Grandpa took care of her for a month, so naturally the work points were less."
"What grandma... What did you say? Grandma?" Song Lili fell silent, as if she had been suddenly choked.
If Song Jianshe hadn't mentioned it, Song Lili would have almost forgotten that the original owner of this body had a grandmother, but she lived at her uncle's house, and she hadn't seen her even once in the several months she had been here.
She knew even less about falling ill in the spring, deflated like a punctured balloon, "Oh, I forgot..."
What could she say? She couldn't say anything. Taking care of her elderly mother was her duty, so what else could she say?
However, she found it strange that she hadn't seen any of her uncles, aunts, or other relatives in the family before.
She thought to herself, "I'll ask Song Fang later to find out what kind of people the Song family members are. Knowing your enemy and yourself is the key to victory."
Now that she knew the grain hadn't been distributed incorrectly and no one was targeting the Song family, Song Lili was very frustrated. How could such a small amount of wheat possibly last a year?
But there's nothing we can do about it; there are only so many work points, and they can't possibly give you any extra food.
Song Lili thought, if all else fails, I must find a way to ensure that no one in my family goes hungry!
Sigh... why is it so difficult?
The next day, Yang Mei came to find Song Lili and said she was going to grind flour and asked if she wanted to come along.
Song Lili said she wanted to ask Song Yongren, and Song Yongren happened to overhear her, so he let them go together, because the men had to plow the fields, and the wheat fields hadn't been plowed yet, which also counted as work points.
As soon as she stepped outside, a girl called out to her, "Lili, where are you going?"
While Song Lili was still wondering who this person was, Yang Mei had already answered with a smile, "We're going to grind flour, Hongxia, are you coming? Let's go together!"
Qin Hongxia heard Yang Mei's words from her own yard, so she came out to intercept her. Naturally, she agreed and went back inside to pack her things.
Song Lili asked Song Fang, "Hongxia lives so close by, how come I haven't seen her for so long?"
Indeed, I've been here for several months and haven't seen them even once, which is completely illogical. Logically, you should see your neighbors frequently.
Song Fang said, "Hongxia's mother is quite fierce. She always makes Hongxia do the work. It's normal for her not to see Hongxia for several months."
Song Lili was puzzled. "Is this normal? This isn't normal, is it? Who goes months without ever showing up in front of others?"
But Song Fang said it was normal, and she couldn't refute it. If she did, she would give herself away, so she could only remain silent.
When Qin Hongxia came out carrying a large sack of wheat, Song Lili was startled.
Qin Hongxia looked to be about the same age as her, but she carried that huge sack of wheat all by herself, swaying like a roly-poly toy, making one worry that she might fall over at any moment.
Everyone thought it was normal, and no one showed any surprise. Yang Mei simply stepped forward to help Qin Hongxia from behind, and they walked towards the river behind the village.
