"Song Zhiqing, Li Wende's verdict is out."

Wang Zhiyong came to where Song Fuyu worked and told her the news.

Ever since Yan Ziyuan returned to the army, she would think of him from time to time and almost forgot about the existence of Li Wende.

"Oh? How long was the sentence?"

"According to the information released by the Public Security Bureau, he was listed as a typical example and sentenced to thirteen years in prison."

When Wang Zhiyong first heard that it took so long, he couldn't help but sigh.

Nothing like this had ever happened in the village before. At most, it was just a quarrel between two families, and no one paid much attention to it.

Basically, the villagers carried out criticism and education, and no one was directly arrested and sentenced.

The public security comrades also said that it was fortunate that his action failed. If he had succeeded, he would probably be sentenced to eighteen or twenty years in prison.

Song Fuyu didn't care how many years he was sentenced to. Anyway, that was pretty much how Li Wende's life would be.

After the reform and opening up, all aspects of the country developed very rapidly. By the time he was released from prison, he was already out of touch with the times.

There is no sympathy at all. It is all his own fault and he deserves it.

After Wang Zhiyong and Song Fuyu finished their talk, they gathered the whole village together during the afternoon workday and told them about the incident. They also took the opportunity to reprimand the whole village and the educated youth who had gone to the countryside.

The villagers were shocked to hear that they would have to stay in jail for so long for breaking into someone else's house and reporting to the police.

After that, the villagers of Shanhe Village, even if they went to the homes of people with whom they had a very good relationship, habitually called out to the person outside the courtyard gate first, and waited until the other party opened the door before entering.

I no longer dare to push the door open like I did before.

The village chief also said that through such an incident, it seemed that the quality of the villagers in Shanhe Village had improved a lot.

On the day of the heavy snow, the village chief announced that the work on the fields for this year had been stopped. Any remaining work or areas that needed maintenance would be assigned to the villages' families with few strong laborers, giving them a chance to earn more work points.

As for the educated youth, they did not have such opportunities.

Of course, most people don’t want to continue working and have been looking forward to the day when hibernation begins.

Song Fuyu arrived in Shanhe Village on October 11 and has been in the countryside for nearly two months.

Excluding the initial few days of rest, as well as the time for holidays and leave, I should have worked for more than 40 days, and my work points must have exceeded 400.

She suddenly looked forward to seeing how much food she would get.

After four or five days, Wang Xiaoshan finally calculated everyone's work points and the money that could be distributed after deducting the rationed food.

“Notify, notify!”

"Every household should send someone to the threshing ground at 1:30 p.m. to collect food!"

The village chief's voice was heard on the radio. When people heard the news that food was going to be distributed, the atmosphere in the whole village suddenly became joyous.

Before the afternoon even started, there was already a long queue at the threshing ground.

By the time Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou arrived at the place at around one o'clock with large cloth bags filled with food, they could only stand at the end of the line.

When Song Fuyu saw this situation, he immediately felt a little regretful.

I regret coming too early.

According to the current situation, she should come back at three or four o'clock.

But there were already some people who had arrived later than them in line, and were chatting with them enthusiastically, so they felt a little embarrassed to leave.

"Song Zhiqing, how long have you been in our Shanhe Village?"

"It's been two months."

"Then you have to buy more food, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

Song Fuyu thought that there was so much food in her space that she could not finish it in ten lifetimes.

But she certainly couldn't say that out loud, so she just smiled and said, "I want to buy some."

After waiting for nearly two hours, it was finally her turn.

She handed the bag of grain to the person next to her who was weighing the grain for everyone.

"One bag is not enough. The coarse grains and fine grains must be packed separately. Two bags are needed."

Wang Xiaoshan saw that she only took one bag, glanced at the amount of food she could get, and gave her a friendly reminder.

"Can't we just have one?"

"Your current work points can all be used to pay for coarse grains."

"......"

"Forget it. Are there any extra bags in the village? Can you lend me one? I'll return it after I move the things back."

She glanced at the people behind her. There were still dozens of people queuing. If she went back, wouldn't she have to queue again?

"Xiaoliang, go to the warehouse and get one for Song Zhiqing. It doesn't have to be too big."

They do not lend out bags from ordinary villages, and Wang Xiaoshan agreed only because he had a good impression of Song Fuyu.

The main thing is that some people in the village used to borrow bags and then they just threw meat buns at dogs and never came back.

If they are returned, they will be the bags at home that are badly torn and have many patches on them.

"Song Zhiqing, you worked for a total of forty-five days, and your total work points are 403 points."

"The ratio of grain distributed in our Shanhe Village is 7 to 3, with coarse grains accounting for 70% and fine grains accounting for 30%."

"Can I choose to have 70% fine grains and 30% coarse grains?"

The person who was about to weigh the grain looked at her strangely. You know, everyone in the village was eager to get more coarse grains.

"No, this is the village rule and cannot be changed."

"If you want fine grains, you can buy some after everyone has been distributed, but there is a fixed amount."

"Okay, I get it. You can weigh it for me first."

"You can get 38 kilograms of coarse grains and 16 kilograms of fine grains this time. Sign here, and then go to the side and wait for Xiaoliang to weigh it."

Song Fuyu signed his name in a flamboyant manner.

I felt a little depressed when I heard the number Wang Xiaoshan reported.

I worked so hard for so many days, but I got so little.

"Song Zhiqing, how much did you get?"

Wang Menghan and the others have already received their belongings and moved back, and now they come here to continue watching the fun.

"I only gained more than 50 kilograms in total."

"More than fifty pounds?"

After hearing this, Wang Menghan’s eyes widened.

"You are really amazing. You must have only been doing this for more than forty days."

"Yes, forty-five days."

"I'm so envious! I worked for more than 250 days and only earned 202 kilograms."

"Menghan, we are not comparable to Song Zhiqing. She can earn ten work points a day, and we are thankful if we can earn seven."

Xia Lan was somewhat envious of Song Fuyu, but she also knew that her physical strength was no match for hers.

If they had Song Zhiqing's ability to work, their lives in the countryside would probably be much more comfortable than they are now. Even if they didn't need so much food, they could still make a lot of money.

"I originally thought that Shanhe Village had a high grain yield and could have distributed more."

"Be content, this is already a lot."

"One of my high school classmates worked in a village in the northwest. He did similar work to us, but the food he received was only 70% of ours at most, and sometimes even less."

"For someone like me, we only get 200 kilograms of food a year, and we can buy a little more from the village, so we won't starve."

Two hundred pounds is not enough?

Song Fuyu was a little surprised.

When she was working, she ate about 200 grams of rice a day, which is at most 4 taels.

But think about it, people these days have less oil and water, so don't they have to eat more staple foods?
