Dai Dayun stared at the manure ticket in Li Jinfeng's hand for just a moment and nodded immediately, "Isn't this our production team's manure ticket? How did it get into your hands?"
Wang Daxian, the team leader of the Dandelion Production Team, learned the term "manure ticket" from other production teams.
The Dandelion Production Team had fewer people but more land, so it had two more mu of private plots than other production teams.
In those days, there were no chemical fertilizers, and the fields of the production team were all nourished by the manure from every household.
In the past, when there were no private plots, everyone's manure was brought to the commune and there never was a problem.
After having my own private plot, I thought about taking good care of it.
This way, the manure becomes a compact substance.
After the people in the production team used the manure on their own private plots, there was definitely not enough manure for the production team's fields.
But you can't control these things, so Wang Daxian came up with a way to exchange manure for work points.
It's just that the work points are a little less, but everyone is willing to distribute more manure. The work points they get in return can be exchanged for some food, so why not?
"It's like this, Auntie..."
Li Jinfeng told Dai Dayun about how Li Ailan went to the county town to buy popsicles and was cheated out of her money by someone who used manure as food coupons.
When Dai Dayun heard that they were Li Jinfeng's family members and that they had met while buying popsicles in the county town, he immediately asserted, "That must have been done by that kid from the Tang family, Tang Mingshan!"
"That boy, who is in his twenties, has shifty eyes and is the only one in the production team who doesn't work properly. He goes to the county town every day to do some kind of business.
He's either selling popsicles or soda or something like that. How can that be as solid as the work points earned in the production team? His parents are about to disown him, but he still refuses to change his ways!
These days, private buying and selling of grain is not allowed.
But no one cares about small items like popsicles and soda.
If the business of buying and selling grain is called night market business.
Selling popsicles and soda, which do not require tickets, is a white market business.
Most people of this generation are not impressed by these small business owners, and always think that they are engaging in speculation and profiteering.
So Dai Dayun did not have a good attitude towards Tang Mingshan.
"Girl, I know Tang Mingshan's parents. Once I talk to them about this, I will make him spit out the four dollars and eighty cents!" Dai Dayun said to Li Jinfeng.
"No, auntie, I'll go get the money myself!" Li Jinfeng stopped Dai Dayun.
Dai Dayun and Tang Mingshan were in the same production team. If she went to ask for it, she might offend Tang Mingshan.
We will see each other every day in the future, and I don’t know how much trouble will arise.
Li Jinfeng told Dai Dayun about her thoughts. Dai Dayun's eyes became hot and he almost cried again, "Girl, you are so kind! But if you don't let me go, I'm afraid that boy won't give you the money."
As a member of the production team, Dai Dayun knew something about it.
It would be difficult to get Tang Mingshan to spit out the fat meat that is right in front of his mouth!
"It's okay, I know what to say! By the way, aunt, is Tang Mingshan in the production team?" Li Jinfeng asked.
Dai Dayun shook his head. "No, he's been busy making money these days because of the grain delivery to the county. He didn't even come home last night!"
After hearing what Dai Dayun said, Li Jinfeng felt more and more that she had to meet Tang Mingshan.
But it looks like the money won't be returned today.
"Girl, why don't you come to my house with me? I can't help you at all since you're here, and I feel really bad." Dai Dayun said.
"Auntie, come to think of it, I really have something I need your help with!"
