The distribution of grain marks the end of the autumn harvest.

Pay enough to the state, leave enough for the collective, and the rest belongs to the people.

Feng Qingxue was busy delivering babies and treating injuries recently, so she did not participate in the final settlement and was not clear about the specific ratio. However, she knew that Wanglou Brigade had a higher harvest and more food rations than most of the surrounding production brigades.

Adults, both men and women, under the age of sixty can get 450 kilograms of food rations, children under three years old can get 150 kilograms of food rations, those aged three to seven can get 200 kilograms, and those aged seven to twelve can get 260 kilograms. Young men and women aged between twelve and sixteen and the elderly over sixty can get 360 kilograms of food rations, which is enough for one year.

The harvests in other production brigades were poor, and adults could not even get 300 kilograms of grain, let alone the elderly and the weak.

No wonder the people of Wanglou Brigade are always so energetic.

This ration is calculated entirely as coarse grains, which includes dried sweet potatoes, corn kernels, etc., and they are raw grains with the skin on.

Everyone can also request fine grains. According to regulations, they can receive fine grains accounting for 30% of the rations, that is, the ratio of coarse grain to fine grain is 7:3, and it cannot exceed this ratio.

This regulation does not mean that you will be given 315 kilograms of coarse grains and 135 kilograms of fine grains according to the ration standard, but that you can choose to exchange 135 kilograms of the 450 kilograms of coarse grains for fine grains, a three-for-one exchange.

Fine grains are wheat and rice. 135 kilograms of coarse grains can only be exchanged for 45 kilograms of fine grains.

In this way, an adult can receive up to 315 kilograms of coarse grains and 45 kilograms of fine grains.

In addition to this exchange method, you can also exchange coarse grains for freshly dug sweet potatoes. One pound of coarse grains can be exchanged for four pounds of fresh sweet potatoes.

Not everyone can get food if they want. If you have enough work points, you can get all the food rations. If you don't have enough work points, you can only get the food rations you earn with the work points. Those who are in a disadvantaged position must first pay off their debts from last year, and only with the remaining work points can they participate in this year's food distribution.

This year, Wanglou Brigade had a bumper harvest, and the income of each production team naturally increased. The total income minus various expenses was divided by the total working days. One working day was ten work points. Different production teams had different harvests and incomes, and the final calculated work values ​​were also different. The work value of Feng Qingxue's production team was 50 cents.

The work value of 50 cents is 10 work points and 50 cents is one work point. This is the production team with the highest work value in Wanglou Brigade. The lowest work value is the tenth production team, which is only 35 cents.

Although it was only 35 cents, it was not lower than the 20 cents wage in Caohu Brigade.

From the autumn harvest of last year to the autumn harvest of this year, Lu's father earned a total of 1,800 work points. Calculated based on the work value, the total income was 90 yuan. The price of raw grain this year is 7.2 cents per catty. First, the income must be deducted from the 450 catties of food rations, a total of 32.4 yuan. If the firewood fee and other expenses do not need to be deducted, he can finally receive 57.6 yuan.

Lu Tianjun, Lu Tianzhi, Guancheng, Guanyu, Feng Qingyun and Feng Qingxue are in the same household registration book. Their work points are not high. Lu Tianjun has 965 work points, Lu Tianzhi has 357 work points, Guancheng has 560 work points, Guanyu has 226 work points, Feng Qingyun has 165 work points, Feng Qingxue has 1360 work points, a total of 3633 work points, and the total income is 181.65 yuan.

Feng Qingxue's rations are 450 kilograms, Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng have 360 ​​kilograms each, Feng Qingyun has 200 kilograms, Guan Yu and Lu Tianzhi have 260 kilograms each. The total rations for the family are 1,890 kilograms, and 136.08 yuan needs to be deducted.

Finally, there was 45.57 yuan left, and the first thing to do was to calculate the firewood cost.

The corn cobs and wheat straw after threshing are collective property and are not distributed to every household for free.

So, after taking into account other expenses, Feng Qingxue's family was left with only 20.6 yuan as a year's income.
