Yuan Fugui pulled Xiaoxiao aside and explained in detail again which ones to choose as group leaders.
He still wanted to be the accountant, even if it was a small position.
But Xiao Xiao was unwilling.
She wants to take a good rest and plans to have a baby.
I don't want to do anything that would offend people.
Besides, she didn't like doing farm work in the fields every day.
It would drive her crazy, having never done farm work before.
Finally, after Yuan Fugui's repeated requests, they had no choice but to agree.
If when it comes time to distribute grain and calculate work points, and they still can't find a suitable person, then she will help out by acting as a temporary accountant.
Seeing that she was truly unwilling, Yuan Fugui didn't press the issue.
The other party has already agreed to be a temporary accountant, what else can he say?
Besides, Xiaoxiao just said that she plans to have a child.
We can't let an accountant be forced to give up their child.
Xiao Xiao took the opportunity to ask about other rules besides the collective work points.
Yuan Fugui shook his head, saying that the rules were originally very strict, but considering that we lived at the foot of the mountain and were far from the town, they changed their minds.
Everything was very relaxing.
As long as the annual grain quota is met, they don't care about anything else.
The little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great.
As long as it's not strictly controlled, everything is negotiable.
Xiao Xiao finally went back home after Yuan Shitou repeatedly urged her to.
They found Yuan Fugui's appearance quite amusing.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Xiao became pregnant as she had hoped.
The family was overjoyed.
Yuan Shitou, in particular, jumped up with genuine joy.
This shows how much he longed for it.
Now things are really messed up. We already treated Xiaoxiao like a treasure, and now we treat her even more.
It was practically in its mouth.
I'm afraid that even if you hold it in your mouth, you might get bumped or knocked by your teeth.
The corn and rice harvest has finally begun.
These were all planted by various families before, and haven't been harvested yet.
It should be said that collectivization occurred before the system was fully mature.
Therefore, some families are diligent and their corn harvest is definitely higher.
In some places, there was no harvest at all; it was simply a wasteland of weeds.
It couldn't be worse.
The village chief meant that since collectivization had been implemented, there was no need to distinguish who belonged to whom.
They all need to be collected and managed in a unified manner.
Because Laolin Village is the most remote mountain village, the annual grain tax is paid in cash.
The main problem is that even if you have grain, it's very difficult to transport it out.
The mountains are so high and the roads are difficult to travel, how can we transport the grain out?
Now, Xiaoxiao and his friends have opened up a new path.
That area is difficult to traverse, with uphill and downhill sections.
No matter what kind of vehicle it is, it's not easy to pass through; it all has to be picked by hand.
This is a bit troublesome.
Therefore, the village chief still recommends that everyone pay taxes with money.
But now it has been collectivized, and the grain belongs to the production team.
Where did the production team get so much money to pay taxes?
This really stumped him.
The grain can't be transported out, and we have no money.
He was so anxious that he lost a lot of hair.
Thinking that Xiao Xiao had many ideas, he ran to Xiao Xiao to ask for one.
When Yuan Shitou saw the village chief coming to see Xiaoxiao again, he immediately treated him like a thief.
"Uncle, Xiaoxiao is pregnant."
"I know Xiaoxiao is pregnant."
The village chief looked at Yuan Shitou, who was blocking his way, and said irritably.
Yuan Shitou pleaded, "Please let her go, there are so many people in the village, you can just pick anyone."
Yuan Fugui was amused by him: "I just asked Xiao to say a couple of sentences, how could that make him tired?"
"Does being pregnant mean Xiaoxiao isn't allowed to speak?"
Yuan Shitou wanted to stop her, but then he heard Xiao Xiao shout:
"Uncle is here, please come in and sit down."
The village chief rolled his eyes at Yuan Shitou: "It was your wife who told me to go in."
Are you sure you still want to stop me?
Yuan Shitou could only chuckle and follow behind the village chief.
Anyway, we just need to keep a close eye on him.
To avoid making Xiaoxiao do this and that again, which would be difficult for her to refuse.
Xiao Xiao is sitting in the yard, accompanying Yuan Ping'an as he studies.
When the village chief came in and saw Yuan Ping'an studying, he couldn't help but nod in approval.
"How many characters does Dog Egg know?"
After Yuan Ping'an politely greeted the person, he replied:
"To answer Grandpa Village Chief's question, I can now recognize several hundred characters."
I haven't counted the exact amount.
And the village chief, I've changed my name now, it's Yuan Ping'an.
It's not called Dog Egg.
My aunt named me.
The village chief smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ping An, Ping An is a good name."
It symbolizes peace and safety.
Ping An is so capable now; he can actually recognize so many characters.
Not bad, not bad.
Did your aunt teach you all of this?
Yuan Ping'an nodded.
"Alright then, you go ahead and study. Grandpa Village Chief won't bother you anymore."
Turning to Xiaoxiao, he said, "Xiaoxiao, there's something I don't know what to do. I wanted to ask you if you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Uncle, why are you being so polite?"
I will definitely help if I can.
"That's how it is," the village chief explained, recounting his troubles.
Xiao Xiao laughed immediately: "What's so difficult about that? You can sell grain openly."
He will definitely come to buy food from anyone who needs it.
"Won't we be able to scrape together the money then?"
Yuan Fugui clapped his hands: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
Look at my brain, it's really stupid.
He is not fit to be the village chief at all.
Little one, Uncle…
"Don't even think about it, she's pregnant."
Yuan Shitou sensed something was off about his tone and quickly interrupted him.
Don't even think about making small schemes.
The village chief glared fiercely at Yuan Shitou:
"You stinky rock, what are you doing guarding this place?"
I was talking to Xiaoxiao, why are you interrupting?
Oh right, what was I going to say just now?
"You interrupted me, and I couldn't remember anything."
As he spoke, he gently tapped his head.
"Uncle, don't pay attention to him, just tell me what's wrong."
It was a little funny, even for Xiaoxiao.
Stone was just too nervous.
The village chief's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, I remember now."
What I meant was that your cows are no longer needed.
I'd like to rent it under the production team's name. What do you think?
"Uncle, are you planning to rent only from our family, or from the other two families in the village as well?"
"Of course they should all be requisitioned. Anyway, you have no land to cultivate, so it's better to use them all together."
"Whether you want to sell or rent it, and what the terms of the sale or rental, need to be discussed again."
Xiao Xiao didn't care.
Indeed, everything is collectivized now.
If the team doesn't have cows and relies entirely on manual labor, that simply won't work.
Anyway, they're really useless to keep them around.
"Uncle, why don't we sell it to the village?"
Any equivalent amount of grain or other goods will suffice.
"If we rent it, there might be conflicts later."
The village chief nodded: "That works too. I'll ask Tiesheng and the others later and see what they say."
After he finished speaking, the village chief still didn't leave, but turned to look at Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou felt a little uneasy under the gaze: "Uncle Village Chief, why are you looking at me like that? Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
