Chapter 107
The team leader held the work points book in his hand and his voice was not very loud, but the villagers were much more enthusiastic than usual.
Chen Zhuangshi listened to everyone's cheers and felt confident thinking about the good harvest this year. When he calculated the work points yesterday, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep.
He got up early this morning before daybreak.
The food is good this year, and the seeds and grain stored in the warehouse are better than in previous years. Next year will surely be a better year than this year.
"Our brigade and the three villages all had good harvests this year. This year, children under the age of ten in our village will be given 100 kilograms of grain per year. Children over the age of ten and the elderly who earn an average of three work points per working day will be given 300 kilograms per year.
A laborer who earned eight to ten work points was given 600 kilograms of grain per year.
Those who earned five to seven work points received 400 kilograms per year.
This year, one work point in our village can be exchanged for eight cents.
In our village, there are 240 working days in total, but for those with a score below 7, the average is only 150 days. For those with a score of 10, the average is 200 days.
Chen Zhuangshi talked about this year's situation and felt very confident.
We asked around among the nearby brigades, but none of them had as good a harvest as their village.
"The number of rations is fixed for each person. I don't care how you guys think about changing them privately. What we distribute in the brigade must be distributed according to the regulations. We will start distributing rations now, don't rush to come one by one.
Don't worry, I won't waste your time."
Chen Zhuangshi saw that everyone in the village wanted to rush forward, so he shouted a few times to prevent anyone from hurting anyone.
We all live in the same village. If something bad happens, will we ever see each other again?
If we talk about being anxious, he is more anxious than anyone else right now!
After all, the other two villages were still waiting for him to visit.
"Qinghe, take care of the child. I'll go over to help first." Bai Xiuxiu had to help the accountant check the work points together with Miaomiao, so that they could distribute them faster.
Wang Qinghe responded with a yes.
It was nice to see his wife helping out in the front, and Xiuxiu not working at home, waiting for him to come home. But it was also nice to see her working outside, full of energy and spirit.
It looks good no matter how you look at it.
"Sister Xiuxiu, you're here. I thought you were going to queue and couldn't come." Miaomiao was very excited when she saw her coming.
This job was tedious, and since she was helping Accountant Wang alone, mistakes were inevitable.
When two of us are together, there will be fewer problems.
In the crowd, Zhou Jiaojiao stood next to her man. Seeing Bai Xiu Xiu in front of her, she was so angry that she dug her nails into Wang Qingqi's arm.
"Hiss...Wife, what are you doing?" Wang Qingqi was thinking about the report he was going to report the day after tomorrow morning, and was brought back to his senses by the pain caused by his wife digging him.
Zhou Jiaojiao said nothing and withdrew her hand.
If it weren't for Bai Xiu Xiu, the job in the Women's Federation would definitely have been given to her.
Now she is the one who is in charge of the work in front.
This glorious thing should have been hers to do.
There are more than 300 households in Xiahe Village, but the brigade has enough people to organize grain distribution.
After a while, it was Wang Qinghe's turn.
"Are the young couple not living with the rest of the family this year?" Chen Zhuangshi looked at Wang Qinghe, who was still holding the two children, and patted his arm.
"You are the most capable person in our village."
Miaomiao began to calculate the work points of Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe: "Wang Qing and Bai Xiuxiu, the two children each have 100 kilograms of grain, a total of 200 kilograms, 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of cornmeal, and 160 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu, both have 10 work points.
A total of 1,200 kilograms of food, 200 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of cornmeal, and 800 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
The total amount was 1,400 kilograms of food, including 220 kilograms of rice, 220 kilograms of cornmeal, and 960 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
The total work points you two have earned this year is 5,800, which is 464 yuan in total."
After calculating the work points, Miaomiao was shocked. So much money?
So much food?
Although this year's harvest is only this big, it is still very enviable.
As soon as Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe's work points were exchanged for money, the Wang family immediately became excited.
Wang Shoucheng was heartbroken. If he had known that Wang Qinghe had not hunted any prey in the mountains, they would never have agreed to let them share the prey.
The most hateful person is the eldest son's wife. If she hadn't been causing trouble every day, things wouldn't be like this now.
This is not the old society anymore, and he really can't force Wang Qinghe to not separate from them.
In front of so many people, it is even more impossible to steal their money.
Over the years, their family has not done well in Wang Qinghe's affairs. The captain and Chen Jinhua know it. They can't make a fuss, and they don't know if they can use the four hundred yuan as retirement money when they catch them and want to divide the family.
Wang Shoucheng was thinking about this matter in his mind.
"I'll help you look after the child." Seeing the Yang brothers pulling the ox cart over, Chen Jinhua took the initiative to help Wang Qinghe hold the child.
"Thank you, Auntie." Wang Qinghe put the food on the team's ox cart and looked in the direction of his wife with some concern.
"You take the children back first. I'll help distribute the food and then go back." Bai Xiu Xiu knew that he was worried about her, so she took the money and went over to persuade him to go home first.
The Wang family couldn't do anything to her in front of so many people.
"Then I'll go back first and come back after delivering the food." Wang Qinghe carried the two children onto the ox cart and hurried home.
The production team only had ten cows in total, and they were brought out today to help everyone pull in food. Normally, they were very valuable, and after they took the food back, they had to return it for others to use.
Soon the distribution of food continued.
When the money was allocated to the Wang family, Wang Shoucheng still felt sad about losing the 400 yuan from his eldest brother.
"Is your family still taking food together as before?" The captain did not speak in a good tone when he saw Wang Shoucheng.
"Yes, our family will still be together." Zhao Guifen also hurried to confirm, in case any daughter-in-law would have other ideas later.
Bai Xiuxiu and Miaomiao began to help Accountant Wang check whether their family's work points were correct.
After confirming that there was no problem, Bai Xiuxiu took out the work points book: "You have two granddaughters and one grandson in your family, a total of 300 kilograms of grain, and several daughters-in-law. The work points of the fifth daughter-in-law are recorded in her natal family. The second daughter-in-law has an average of about three work points per day this year.
The third daughter-in-law got five work points, and the fourth daughter-in-law got three work points. The old lady got one work point per day on average this year.
The second and fifth sons of the four sons received three work points, and the third and fourth sons received seven work points.
Wang Shoucheng also received three work points this year."
After Bai Xiuxiu read it out, the Wang family members all looked unhappy.
There is not a single person in the family who can work!
"Totaling 6,500 work points."
"This is impossible!" Wang Shoucheng suddenly felt sick. How could this be possible?
There are so many people in his family, and it’s almost the same as the eldest brother’s family?
Is this reasonable?
Bai Xiuxiu wanted to laugh when she heard this. What was impossible? This family knew that as long as her man was around, they would never go hungry, so they were all lazy.
