Chapter 164: Food Distribution Farce (I)
The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao was on her way home after cutting grass for pigs, she heard the captain's cough during the sound test coming from the loudspeaker, so she stopped and stood there, waiting for the captain's notice.
"Fellow villagers, please put aside your work for a moment. I have something important to announce. The grain will be distributed at the threshing ground at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Please do not be late.
I repeat, this afternoon at one o'clock... "
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that food would be distributed in the afternoon. She wondered how much food her work points could be exchanged for. She had heard before that the village distributed food according to the number of people, which means that as long as you were registered in the village, you would be given basic food when the food was distributed. She just didn't know how much.
After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao heard her second sister calling for her to open the door. She went to the yard and opened the door. Before she could speak, she heard her second sister say, "Xiaoxiao, do you have any sacks or bamboo baskets at home?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"That's good. Aren't the food going to be distributed this afternoon? I was afraid you didn't have bags or bamboo baskets to carry the food, so I came to ask. Also, after you get your food, just wait here. My dad will help you carry the food home. The school will be closed for half a day in the afternoon because of the food distribution, so I can also help you get it."
"Thank you and your father in advance. It's almost time now. Let's go to the threshing ground together."
"Okay, go get the bag or bamboo basket first."
"By the way, second sister, does the team distribute food according to the number of people?"
"Yes, everyone over 18 years old can get 320 kilograms, and everyone under 18 years old can get 210 kilograms."
"Then I can just bring two bags. I have basically no work points."
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the threshing ground, she saw that many people had already arrived. Everyone was talking about grain distribution with a smile on their faces.
Lu Xiaoxiao followed her second sister to where her parents were standing, greeted them, and stood aside waiting for the food to be distributed.
More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao saw the captain walk up to the platform, and then he said, "Everyone be quiet. When the food is distributed later, whoever's name is called by Accountant Zhang will come to get the food. Don't worry if your name is not called. We guarantee that everyone will get food today."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, a tall and thin man wearing a pair of glasses stood on the platform. It seemed that he was the Accountant Zhang the captain mentioned.
He took out a notebook, opened it and said, "Liu Zhuzi, your family has a total of 3,690 work points. Tell me how to exchange them."
As soon as Zhang the Accountant finished speaking, a man in his fifties came forward and said, "Except for the two hundred yuan, all the rest will be exchanged for food."
Everyone was envious when they heard his words. The second sister also said with envy: "It's good to have more people in the family. This way, you can get more money and food with more work points."
"What's so good about it? You had a lot of family members before you split up. Do you think it's good?"
After hearing what she said, the second sister shuddered and quickly said, "No, not at all. Now I don't feel that I envy him at all."
"Haha, I'm just kidding. There are still many large families that are harmonious. The captain's family is pretty good. It mainly depends on the people."
"Yeah, if there's even one person like my grandma in the family, it's bad enough. If the whole family is like that, there will be chaos every day."
As soon as the second sister finished speaking, she heard a woman crying in front of her.
