Hundreds of people worked quite quickly and the sweet potatoes were harvested very quickly.
After all the crops are harvested, it is time to distribute the grain. Once the grain is distributed, it will take until this time next year.
It’s a year’s food ration.
Apart from the work points and grain required to be paid, the rest was distributed based on the ratio of seven points of labor and three points of work per person.
Because Zhou Yian and Song Songbai arrived late and had fewer work points, they basically still needed to receive additional money.
If you don't pay the additional money, you will be in a loss.
Village Chief Ge reported the total work points for all the families and concluded by saying, "Comrade Zhou Yian, you helped us report this to Gejiazhuang, which helped us successfully win the title of Advanced Brigade. So, Ge Huiji, Captain Wang, and I have unanimously decided to award Comrade Zhou Yian 100 work points. Do you agree?"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"Thank you, Zhou Zhiqing."
Zhou Yian was surprised. Haha, now her work points are higher than Song Songbai's, and she is no longer the person with the lowest work points.
Glancing at Song Songbai provocatively, Zhou Yian bowed happily to everyone, "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone."
After reporting the work points, everyone will get paid if they deserve it, and get compensated if they deserve it.
"Because two educated youth came to our Gejiazhuang this year, the commune provided a resettlement subsidy of 100 yuan per person, so we gave the big tiled house to the educated youth to live in. The 200 yuan was calculated based on this year's work points and distributed to the team members."
There was another buzz from below, "Great, today's work points are worth money."
"Fortunately, our family has a lot of work points."
"If I had known work points were so valuable this year, I wouldn't have been lazy."
"Yeah, who says it isn't?"
Families with more work points received the money happily, and some families with large populations and more labor force received several more yuan.
Zhou Yian and Song Songbai were the last to pay the additional money.
It's not shameful, Song Songbai is at the back.
Zhou Yian couldn't help but want to laugh.
The subsidy for the two of them was not much, only a dozen yuan in total, which could only buy more than 50 kilograms of rice outside.
That means I will get the money for the fine grains that will be distributed later, and I can get several hundred kilograms of coarse grains.
So it is very cost-effective to make up the money.
Although the disadvantaged households in the village could get food without paying compensation, the educated youth certainly could not do so as it would easily lead to gossip.
Zhou Yian helped Song Songbai pay the money. She found that she liked to create the image of Song Songbai as a gigolo, so that no one in the countryside would be interested in him. Even if a girl liked him, her family would not agree.
Haha, Zhou Yian gave himself a thumbs up for his wit.
When distributing food, both of them received a large amount of food. Zhou Yian, in particular, saw that others wanted coarse grains, and there was still some fine grains left, so he spent money to buy dozens of kilograms of food. He wanted to buy more if he was not afraid of being too conspicuous.
Coarse grains are really not tasty, but fine grains are just so-so.
There were several sacks of grain, and Zhou Yian stood there waiting for Song Songbai to carry them back and forth.
The old lady standing nearby was also waiting for her son and daughter-in-law to carry the things home. Zhou Yian asked, "Does that mean there will be no more farm work after this?"
The old lady replied enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, we will make pickles and collect firewood later. We can't stop. After all, winter lasts for four or five months."
The kang still needs to be heated, otherwise you will be freezing in the winter.
"Stock up on some firewood. We'll also need some pickled cabbage. Do you have any pickled cabbage jars? If not, you can ask Old Man Ge to bring some to the county next time. Two for one dollar. It's a little pricey, but it's very useful."
The old man Ge that the auntie is talking about is the old man who drives an ox cart.
"Okay, thank you so much, Auntie."
"What's the big deal? If you don't have cabbage or don't know how to pickle pickles, you can come to my house and ask me. I can even go to the educated youth's yard and help you make it."
They were so enthusiastic. Everyone was very enthusiastic when they first arrived, and they became even more enthusiastic when they learned about the reporting and the 200 yuan resettlement fee.
The enthusiastic Zhou Yian is a little overwhelmed.
Just as the grain had been moved, with only two bags left, Zhou Yian said goodbye and followed Song Songbai back to the educated youth compound.
Give Song Songbai a list of things he needs to do.
First: Harvesting Chinese cabbage
Second: Chopping Wood
Third: Pickled vegetables
Fourth: Stock up on meat!
Stockpiling meat was the top priority. Although there was wild boar meat, they ate it once later and found that the taste was indeed a little worse.
It would be nice if there were roe deer, deer, hares and pheasants.
Zhou Yian passed the pressure to Song Songbai, hoping that he could continue to work hard and strive for the first place.

On the other side, Aunt Qi's son also returned from the county.
"Son, let me tell you, I have found a girl for you. She is very pretty, young, has a good figure and is rich." Aunt Qi said to her son.
"Who is it?" asked his son Ge Jun. "I'm a salaried employee, I don't want ordinary people."
"She's a newly arrived educated youth from the city, quite wealthy, and a good writer. Although she's a bit hot-tempered, once she enters our house, Mom will make sure she's completely obedient."
"Educated youth, that's not bad. Will she agree?"
"What's there to worry about if you don't agree? If we drag you into the woods, won't that mean you agree?"
"Too."
