Perhaps they should have borrowed a cart from the village committee first!
I suffered the loss due to lack of experience!
It might be better to carry it on your back, but it is really tiring to carry it!
After finally returning to the educated youth site, everyone was exhausted.
The old educated youth have all returned and are preparing lunch.
A few people just happened to steam the rice they bought.
When the old educated youth saw the new educated youth coming back with food, they guessed that they were going to the town to buy food.
When I first went to the countryside, my family received subsidies from the government, so life was a little better.
Once the policy subsidies are gone in a year, life will be difficult!
"You went to town. There were no bullock carts today. Did you walk there?"
The person who asked the questions was Chen Xiuying, a very amiable female educated youth.
Hearing this, several people fell silent.
Were there ox carts in the village?
I met a few people on the way there and back, all of them were walking, and I had never thought there were ox carts.
Xu Nanxing hadn't expected this either, and quickly asked, "Chen Zhiqing, does our village have ox carts? When will they be available?"
"Villagers only go to town during festivals and on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month for the big market, so ox carts are only available at these times."
If it's the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, then we're using the lunar calendar.
Rural areas are indeed accustomed to using the lunar calendar.
Fortunately, my mobile phone can display the solar calendar and the lunar calendar.
I am really unlucky today. It is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there is no ox cart to ride.
But there is still a very important question to ask.
"Chen Zhiqing, do we educated youth get meat coupons every month? And other coupons?"
The subsidies for educated youth are different in every place, and the most important thing is whether they reach you.
"For us educated youth who have been sent to the countryside for the first year, we will receive a subsidy of 8 yuan per month! You newcomers will be able to receive it next month. This subsidy is valid for one year.
As for coupons, we educated youth were issued them according to the standard for residents. Each of us received half a pound of pork coupons, three ounces of vegetable oil coupons, and 27 pounds of grain coupons each month. During the Lunar New Year, we also issued coupons for sugar, matches, kerosene, and soap, though the amount of each item was limited. Chen Xiuying replied patiently.
When they heard that each dish only contained half a pound of meat and three ounces of oil, several people couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement.
Xu Nanxing also remembered that in the original owner's memory, the standard for residents in Beijing was to provide 1.5 kilograms of pork coupons and half a kilogram of vegetable oil coupons per person per month.
The quotas between the two places are indeed quite different.
As for food coupons, she didn't know if 27 kilograms per month was enough for her to eat.
Because in modern times, she rarely eats rice, and doesn't even eat it at night.
But it doesn’t matter. When you are hungry, you can secretly eat the food in the space.
Xu Nanxing also asked many other questions.
I was so tired last night that I could hardly keep my eyes open while eating. After dinner, I went back to my room and fell asleep, so I didn't have time to ask.
She first asked about work matters.
I just found out that Shanghe Village started to implement a quota work point system this year.
For many years before, the attendance work point system was implemented.
Adult male laborers earn 10 work points a day, underage men under 18 earn 6 to 8 work points a day, adult female laborers earn 8 work points a day, and underage or elderly women earn 5 to 6 work points a day.
This remuneration method, which has a relatively large egalitarian element, has indeed affected production enthusiasm to a certain extent.
This has resulted in many people going to work but not putting in any effort and slacking off.
The harvest is decreasing every year.
The current quota work point system is also called "small contracting".
For example, before, when hoeing the fields, men, women, young and old worked together. Men were paid 8 to 10 points, and women were paid 6 to 8 points, regardless of how much work they did.
Now, the same piece of land is worth 300 points. Then it is subcontracted to several people, and the more work done, the more money earned.
You can work alone or with a few people, and you can finish it in 3 days or 5 days. The work points are still the same, and you can distribute them among yourselves.
There will be no slacking off or wasting work points.
There are also some tasks such as collecting fertilizer, delivering public grain, cutting grass for pigs, etc. Most of these are completed with the quota work points.
For example, if you delivered public grain, you would earn 1.7 work points by carrying a load of 100 kilograms of grain to a grain station.
There is also the task of collecting grass for pigs, which is worth 2 points for every 100 kilograms of grass. Some people can get 8 to 9 points in the morning.
One hundred pounds...
100 jin...
When Xu Nanxing heard that one hundred kilograms of pig feed was only worth 2 work points, he felt like crying.
She had previously planned to follow the example of other heroines in novels and choose to pick grass for pigs.
She definitely couldn't work in the fields, and she was aware of this!
Now I have to harvest 100 kilograms of pig grass...
I carried 10 kilograms of rice today, and my hands almost didn't feel like my own.
I can’t imagine how much 100 kilograms of pig grass is.
Forget it, I have space at hand, I can just use it to cheat when the time comes!
But now she also thinks the new system is good and it won't force you to do any work.
I heard that some brigades would assign educated youth dirty and tiring jobs such as carrying manure and cleaning pig pens.
During lunch, Li Wenyuan mentioned that the educated youth took turns working.
Boys are mainly responsible for fetching water and chopping firewood, while girls are responsible for cooking and watering the vegetables.
They are in groups of two and take turns.
Because there was an odd number of girls before, there were three people in one group and two people in another group.
Yesterday, Song Liandi and Wang Xiangjun were a group of two cooking, and today it is the female lead group, which includes Su Qingqing, Chen Xiuying, and Chen Jiaxin.
Chen Xiuying said to them, "How do you want to divide the group? Should you two be in one group, or should we find the old educated youth?"
