Paying public grain is an activity in which the entire production team's labor force must participate.
Generally, in production brigades with the necessary conditions, tractors would be at the front pulling fine grains such as rice and wheat.
If the tractor could not load the goods, they would use a donkey cart to pull them, or strong laborers would push wheelbarrows, or they would carry them directly to the commune.
There are many types of public grain now. In addition to rice and wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts must be handed in according to a certain proportion of the brigade's total output.
In addition, each brigade must submit task pigs, task sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry every year.
The harvest of Cihang Village Brigade is very good this year. Although the brigade does not have a tractor, there is a donkey cart in front pulling a full cart, and a dozen men are pushing wheelbarrows in the back, and the wheelbarrows are also loaded with goods.
Further back, the men were carrying corn, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains, with sweet potatoes being the most abundant. Behind them were the men carrying the sweet potatoes, driving three big fat pigs from the brigade's farm.
The pigs of Cihang Brigade are growing very well this year. It is estimated that each of the three pigs weighs about 140 to 150 kilograms.
Behind the pigs were eight sheep, and further back were some female comrades holding chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry.
When Zhou Yubai drove Shen Chuning to the commune, he happened to meet the team of the brigade going to pay public grain heading towards the commune.
The villagers all had happy expressions on their faces today. When they saw them, they greeted them cheerfully, "Zhou Laosan, Accountant Shen, you guys are going to the commune so early too!"
"Accountant Shen, you must keep a good record when our team pays the public grain!" someone shouted.
Chen Chu Ning also smiled and joked with everyone, "Don't worry, I will definitely remember it well. Besides, with my uncle He, the old accountant, supervising me, I dare not make any mistakes, right?"
When Shen Chuning said this, she and Zhou Yubai happened to be next to He Guoqiang, so she flattered him a little.
When He Guoqiang heard her words, his back straightened up a little bit.
By the way, he even felt that his future son-in-law Shen Zhengxu, who was following him, was more pleasing to the eye.
Shen Zhengxu was pushing a wheelbarrow full of corn.
He was also a little surprised to see Shen Chuning. He was still telling his father last night that he would first go with the brigade's grain delivery team to transport the grain to the commune today, and then come back to pick up his little sister to go to work.
I didn't expect my younger sister to go so early today.
But when he saw that it was Zhou Yubai who was riding the bike with his little sister, he felt relieved.
Zhou Yubai had ridden his bicycle for some distance, and when Shen Chuning looked back he could still see his own brigade marching forward with torches in hand to pay their public grain taxes.
She used to be lazy, and the team set out too early to pay grain, so she couldn't get up at this time.
So this was the first time she saw the spectacular scene of the brigade paying public grain.
Although she was not in the team, she could still feel the joy of the harvest from the villagers in the team, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Wife, I'll pick you up from get off work this afternoon." Zhou Yubai said after sending her to the gate of the commune.
"Aren't you busy today?" Shen Chuning couldn't help but ask.
Although the oil field has not yet been officially exploited, various preparatory work has been carried out in the mountains.
I heard that after paying the public grain tax, the village’s labor force will have to help build the road.
Of course, work points are also required for road construction. After the work points are recorded, food and cash subsidies will be given according to the total work points. The brigade will then distribute the subsidized food and cash to each household.
Everyone was naturally excited about the news. It was not often that they could exchange their labor for extra food and cash income.
"It's not very busy, so I still have time to pick up my wife from get off work." Zhou Yubai said to Shen Chuning with his deep eyes gently.
But Shen Chu Ning felt a little embarrassed by his gleaming eyes, “Okay, I’ll wait for you in the afternoon, you go now!”
In the past, she could never have imagined that this fierce man could have such a gentle expression.
As the man spent more time at home during this period, she felt more and more that he was two-faced in front of and behind other people.
He is so cold in front of people, as if everyone owes him eight hundred dollars.
But she is very clingy behind people's backs, especially when they are at home. He would even want to carry her to the toilet.
Shen Chu Ning didn't notice that when the man left, he looked towards the staff dormitory of the commune.
Yin Linjiang had just left the staff dormitory and was about to go to work at the commune when he saw Zhou Yubai and Shen Chuning standing at the gate of the commune, inseparable.
Although he had tried hard to force himself to stop thinking about Shen Chuning, he couldn't help feeling sour when he saw such a scene.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and greeted Shen Chuning politely and politely: “Comrade Shen, you came to work so early today.”
Shen Chuning smiled and said, "Well, I plan to check the amount of public grain that each brigade needs to pay again, so as to avoid mistakes in the rush when collecting later."
Now, when collecting public grain, the accountants, team leaders and branch secretaries of each brigade first check the harvest of their own brigade, and then report the total harvest of the brigade to the commune. The commune then calculates the public grain that should be paid according to the harvest of each brigade.
This public grain tax is not calculated directly by how many kilograms of each type of grain should be paid, but is calculated in the form of money.
When handing in the public grain, the comrades at the grain station would determine the unit price based on the different types and qualities of grain handed in by each brigade, and then calculate the total price of the public grain handed in for accounting.
The process is very complicated, and the accountant who is responsible for the accounting plays a very important role in this process, and there can be no mistakes.
Before the grain-collecting team arrived, Shen Chuning used the abacus beads to check the amount of grain collected from the several brigades this morning.
As she was calculating, she suddenly felt a figure standing in front of her.
When she looked up, she saw Peng Kaiyuan standing in front of her desk!
"Teacher!" Shen Chu Ning was surprised and happy, "Why are you here?"
Peng Kaiyuan is now serving as the accountant of Xiaohe Village Brigade, but the order drawn by Xiaohe Village Brigade this time was relatively late, so it is definitely not their turn to pay the public grain today.
Peng Kaiyuan smiled and said, "We have cleared all the accounts of our brigade. This is your first time to experience such a big thing as collecting public grain. I am worried, so I came to take a look."
"But it seems that my worry as a teacher is in vain. You have done a better job of accounting than an old man like me." Peng Kaiyuan said, and laughed with satisfaction.
Shen Chu Ning also smiled and said: "When I was a student, I was able to do the accounts beautifully, and it was all thanks to the good teaching in the exams. It's all thanks to the teacher."
No one doesn't like to hear good words.
When Peng Kaiyuan heard Shen Chuning's words, he felt very happy, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
At this time, the eight o'clock bell rang, and the annual grain payment officially began.
