"Lanlan, did you see that person? She's Wang Pozi. Stay away from her from now on. She's not a good person. She always likes to take advantage of others. There's no one in the team who doesn't hate her."
When Su Tao mentioned her, disgust showed on her face, thinking of how her aunt had given her a few peaches before, and this man shamelessly took two of them away from her.
She gets angry whenever she mentions this, and once it happens, there will be a second time. Last time, she was so angry that she took the Sun Jianhua brothers with her to pick all the peaches in her yard in the middle of the night. When picking, she specifically picked the big and red ones, leaving only some that had just grown.
When Mrs. Wang woke up the next day, she saw that the precious peach tree she had planted was completely damaged. Not a single peach was left that she had originally planned to exchange for money.
This directly made her mad and she cursed for a long time at the door. She even went to complain to Captain Cheng, but she didn't know who took it, and Captain Cheng didn't care about these things. So they could only swallow the loss in silence.
Many people in the team knew the news and were watching the show behind the scenes. They all said that this was Wang Po's retribution because she liked to take advantage of small opportunities.
The next day, Su Tao happily went to the team to watch her act up. Her appearance of chewing melon seeds and crossing her legs made many aunts very happy.
"So it's her. Next time I see her, I'll take a detour. I'm not stupid. I won't stay away from her."
Song Tanglan is actually a very stingy person. Whether in her previous life or this life, she is more generous to people around her, but she is very stingy to strangers.
"I feel sad when I think of the peaches Aunt Li gave me." Those were the big peaches Aunt Li picked specially for her. She couldn't bear to eat them herself and planned to take them back to share with the other two. Unexpectedly, they were snatched away halfway.
Fortunately, she got her revenge. Thinking about the peaches she harvested, she didn't lose out.
As the two of them were laughing and joking, the team continued to shrink under the constant urging of Accountant Zhang.
When she finally arrived at Song Tanglan's place, she hurriedly took out the notebook her second sister had given her and looked at it. Today she was going to collect not only her work points, but also those of her second brother-in-law.
This is a huge number and cannot be wrong. However, after studying for a few days, she still hasn't figured out how the team's work points are calculated. There is both money and per capita work points, and she still doesn't understand it.
Fortunately, Song Tangcheng knew his younger sister very well, so he wrote down and marked their work points clearly on the notebook.
As long as the above amount is the same, you can sign.
The working hours this year are not as many as last year, but the work points are not less than last year, because the harvest this year is good and their work points per person are more than last year.
So I checked the amount and signed it.
"How do I get it? How much do I get?"
"Just split it 30/70."
"Okay." Accountant Zhang said, and then he quickly wrote a note on his hand and handed it to Song Tanglan, asking her to go to the warehouse to collect food.
The same people were still guarding the warehouse this year. Song Tanglan hurriedly walked to her second brother-in-law and handed him the note.
Cheng Fangyuan looked at the work points above and praised: "Little sister, you are good. You have earned a lot of work points this year."
But he didn't know that Song Tanglan felt embarrassed and guilty when she heard his praise.
The truth is that she was lazy every day. When she was in a good mood, she earned five or six work points, and when she was in a bad mood, she earned only four work points. She was considered a drag on the third team, and only her family members were thick-skinned enough to praise her.
"Brother-in-law, did my second sister tell you what to change?"
"Exchange for more sorghum rice and beans. Your second sister asked me to exchange for some peanuts and rapeseed to be used for oil pressing. The rest can be the same as in previous years. Do I decide or do you choose?"
"Second brother-in-law, you decide. You can help me choose my portion too. I'm not picky. As long as it's edible, it's fine."
In fact, she wanted to say that it would be great if all the work points could be exchanged for fine grains. Unfortunately, if all the work points were exchanged for fine grains, they would not be able to fill their stomachs and would easily be criticized.
Cheng Fangyuan nodded when he heard this, picked up the list and started writing.
In the end, we exchanged more than 80 kilograms of fine grains, and the rest were all exchanged for coarse grains, including a lot of rapeseed, which can be taken to the oil mill of the next brigade to be pressed for oil as soon as possible.
There are only two ways for farmers to use oil. One is to eat lard, or take rapeseed to the oil mill next door to press oil. Of course, some people buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative, but the oil from the supply and marketing cooperative is more expensive than the oil pressed by themselves.
Therefore, the rapeseed planted by the team will be exchanged by the people in the team every year. For example, Xiao Cheng's family exchanges it every two years, taking turns with Brother Cheng's family. Every time they take it back, they share it and save it for consumption, which can last for a year.
After Cheng Fangyuan and others had selected the food they wanted, they handed the work over to the rest of the people and prepared to transport the food back. However, he saw Song Tanglan still standing there motionless, so he asked in confusion.
"Little sister, what are you standing there for? Let's go back."
Song Tanglan was still staring at the team at this time. He was suddenly reminded and was stunned for a moment. He turned around and hesitated for a while before he spoke out his little thoughts.
"Brother-in-law, I want to exchange money for some food."
"No need to change, so much food is enough for us to eat." Cheng Fangyuan didn't understand why they should spend this money. Not only would they not be able to finish eating the food after spending so much money, they would also have surplus food every year. In addition, the harvest in recent years was not bad. He felt that there was no need to spend this money.
Seeing this, Song Tanglan could only whisper, "Think about it, brother-in-law. Winter is almost here. If this snow is delayed, next year's harvest will definitely be small. We're fine in the countryside, but the situation in the city will be much more difficult. I want to exchange for more food so I can send it back home."
Cheng Fangyuan thought about it and nodded, but suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't worry, let's transport the grain back first, and then I'll go find the accountant to exchange it when we're done, okay?"
Song Tanglan thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. The grain had just been distributed, and if she took out money to buy grain, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to target her. Thinking of this, she nodded and helped push the cart back home.
Song Tangcheng was already waiting at home at this time. After all the food was pushed into the house, he picked up the notebook and started counting it.
"Ah Cheng, my little sister said she wants to exchange some food and send it back home. I'll go there later."
When Song Tangcheng heard this, he stopped what he was doing and asked curiously, "Lanlan, why do you want to buy food and send it back home? Isn't it convenient to buy food at home?"
"Second sister, you need to think long-term. This winter has been so strange. If it lasts longer, won't the harvest next year be very small? And it's not just our brigade that's snowing; the whole north is the same. Then food will be scarce, and we won't be able to buy food at home even if we want to! Anyway, food won't go bad if it's stored, so it's better than having money but no food to buy!"
After Song Tanglan finished speaking, he poured a glass of warm water and drank it. When Song Tangcheng heard this, he paused and felt that this matter really needed to be carefully considered.
