"We mainly grow rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes here. Because we have a good climate and fertile soil, the yield of the fields is good, and the points are naturally high. One work point is worth five cents. Our brigade's pig farm has ten pigs, five big and five small." Cheng Guozhong replied.
"The points are so high. I heard that in most production teams, one work point is only worth two or three cents! No wonder Jiang Province is said to be rich! There are ten pigs in the pig farm, so wouldn't they be able to kill two more pigs during the New Year...
I heard that some brigades have few pigs in their pig farms, only five or six pigs, and after the task pigs are delivered, there are only two left. When they slaughter the New Year pigs during the Spring Festival, they only slaughter two, and some even only slaughter one. The average distribution of meat among all the people in the brigade is less than one pound. "Xu Zhixin smiled with a hint of joy in her eyes.
It seems that the people in the Lu'an Brigade live a good life. One work point is worth five cents, which means that they can get fifty cents for full work points.
Ten work points make up one full work point. With her ability, it is easy for her to get ten work points a day. In other words, as long as she gets full work points every day, she can get fifteen yuan a month.
Fifteen yuan is certainly nothing in modern times, but it was a lot of money at that time. An apprentice in the city earned about eighteen yuan a month, and fifteen yuan was almost as much as an apprentice's salary. It was considered a lot of money in the countryside.
Even if she didn't have the food in the space, she still had money. She could live a good life by getting full work points every day and would definitely not starve.
"You seem to be quite knowledgeable, little girl. Have you asked around before? Our production team can slaughter three New Year pigs every year during the Spring Festival. Each person can get more than two or three kilograms of meat, which is pretty good. I heard that production teams in poor provinces are like you, but because they slaughter fewer New Year pigs during the Spring Festival, the entire team can get less than one kilogram of meat on average." Cheng Guozhong said with a smile.
"It seems that our team is living pretty well, and we can be considered wealthy. This also shows that you, captain, are a good leader and a capable person!" Zhu Yong praised and gave Cheng Guozhong a thumbs up.
"Yes, this shows that you, Captain, are a good leader and a capable person!" Lu Pinjie nodded in agreement quickly, and followed Zhu Yong's example to give Cheng Guozhong a thumbs up. He was secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that the situation in the Lu'an Brigade was quite good, and there was no need to worry about starving.
Jiang Province is just as rumored, a rich place. Even the rural areas are rich, much better than those poor provinces.
It’s such a blessing to be assigned to work in the countryside of Jiangxi Province!
"When I first saw captain uncle, I felt that you were different from other captains, because you looked more capable than other captains." Xu Zhixin saw Zhu Yong and Lu Pinjie praising Cheng Guozhong, and thought it would be bad if she didn't follow suit, so she started praising him as well.
No one doesn't like to hear good words, and no one doesn't like to be praised. Everyone likes to hear good words, especially to be praised. Cheng Guozhong is no exception. He smiles and has a lot of good feelings towards Xu Zhixin and the other three.
"Although our brigade cannot compare with the city, life is not bad. As long as we don't slack off and work hard, we will never starve."
After Cheng Guozhong finished speaking, he suddenly showed an expression as if he remembered something. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression suddenly became serious.
There is a big mountain next to our brigade, and there are wolves on the mountain. Sometimes the wolves will go down the mountain to wander around at night. Don’t leave the village at night, otherwise it will be dangerous. Don’t go up the mountain. Someone once went up the mountain and never came back. When the villagers found him on the mountain, they found that he had been eaten by wolves and only bones were left. "Cheng Guozhong warned.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong and Xu Zhixin were both terrified and their faces turned pale, especially Xu Zhixin, whose tears were already welling up in her eyes and she was about to cry.
"It's so scary!" I didn't expect that although the Lu'an Brigade was a good place, there were wolves on the mountain next to it, and the wolves would eat people.
"Although I've read about wolves eating people in books before, I never thought it would happen in real life." Zhu Yong swallowed his saliva, "I must be careful next time!"
