The setting of the big pot meal made the work point system meaningless, and more and more people were passive and lazy.
No one cared at all about the upcoming autumn harvest.
Anyway, you eat the same amount whether you work more or less.
The village chief saw it all and was worried.
The grain harvested in autumn will have to be eaten until the double harvest season in June and July next year.
If we keep slacking off like this, if there are a few autumn rains, the rice will fall to the ground and all our hard work for the past six months will be in vain.
"Old Liao, what kind of days are we living in? What will happen if this continues? In the past, at least we had work points to intimidate them." The village chief whispered.
Accountant Liao gave a bitter laugh. "I don't know. Before, when work points were recorded, I was somewhat useful as an accountant. Now, I'm useless. I might even be fired one day."
"Don't think too much, things will work out in the end. The most urgent task now is to mobilize them to work. In the past, we were worried that the crops in the fields wouldn't grow well and we wouldn't have any harvest. Now we have a bumper harvest, but we're worried that no one will come to harvest it." The village chief sighed heavily.
"We are old and can no longer order these young people around, and their parents can no longer control them."
In the past, the atmosphere in the water village was very good and everyone was very positive and motivated.
I don’t know when it started, but there have been people who are thieves, greedy, lazy and cunning.
As the village chief's generation gets older, they can no longer control them.
The village chief also talked to their elders about it, but the elderly people were rather stubborn and were afraid that the children who talked too much would dislike them and stop providing for them in their old age, so they simply pretended not to know about it.
Because of the autumn harvest, the village primary school is also on holiday.
Daya and Su Qianshan followed Su's mother to the fields. Although they could not do any heavy work, they could still do the light work of carrying ear stalks and picking ear seedlings.
Without having to cook or go to school, Su Qing had nothing to do.
On the first day of autumn harvest, Su's mother came back cursing before it was time to get off work.
"What a bunch of damned bastards! They deserve to starve to death. All they do all day is talk and act like they're so noble. Ugh."
Su Qing whispered, "Brother, Su Che, who offended my mother?"
Su Che glanced at them and said, "It's still He Aiguo's bunch. They don't work in the fields, but recite some fancy poems. I don't know who they learned it from.
He also said that those of us who work are stupid and extremely lacking in spiritual wealth. I was so angry that I said a few words to him.
They didn't work and didn't let us work, so Mom called us back."
Su Qing couldn't help but sigh that in just a month or two, the disadvantages of the big pot system were exposed.
The original intention of the "big pot meal" is still good, which is to allow everyone to concentrate their efforts on developing certain fields and industries.
I didn't expect that those cunning people would take advantage of me.
I have to say that some people deserve to live an unhappy and poor life.
"Don't be angry, Mom. We won't starve anyway. In my opinion, they're not miserable enough. Their lives are still too good. If the day comes when they have to eat dirt, they'll be more anxious than anyone else."
Mother Su calmed down for a while and then calmed down. "I know this, but I just can't bear to see them waste food like this. Don't you know, not only do they not work, but they also throw the rice we cut on the ground and step on it. Don't you think they are stupid?"
"I'll talk to the village chief tomorrow. This isn't going to work. Okay, stop being angry. I steamed two baskets of meat buns this afternoon. Wash your hands and have dinner."
"No, Su Che, go to the cafeteria and get our share of food first. I wouldn't give it to them even if I had to feed it to the dog."
The next morning, Su Qing went to the town in a swaggering manner. She wanted to find an excuse to take something out.
I came back just in time for lunch.
"Mom, stop working and eat first."
Su Qing took out the braised pork and meat buns she bought from the state-owned restaurant.
As soon as the braised pork with a rosy color and a fragrant aroma was taken out, it immediately attracted countless people's attention.
Su Qing didn't hide it. She didn't steal or rob. She just spent some money openly.
Besides, there were too many people at the end of the village recently, so she didn't dare to cook anything with a strong fragrance, which made her very greedy.
"Qianshan Qianfan, quickly take your sisters to wash their hands."
Those who had originally planned to eat in the cafeteria could no longer stay there, so they sat around Su Qing's family with a bowl of wild vegetable porridge.
The smell of meat in the air makes even the most disgusting wild vegetable stew taste better.
"Mom, so many people are watching us eat." Daya said in a low voice.
Su Qing said with a smile: "Just watch, if they have the guts, come and rob me, and see if the knife in my hand agrees." After that, Su Qing took out a shiny pig-killing knife from his backpack.
The people around them really gave up their thoughts. They were even planning to shamelessly go forward and ask for a bite or two of meat.
He Mei and He Li were also driven by Luo Quanxiang to work.
Someone in the family always has to go to work, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Unfortunately, the two of them became the ones who "always have to go."
He Li watched San Ya and the others eating meat with her eyes wide open, her little mouth smacking the same rhythm as San Ya's chewing.
Last time, San Ya was the only one present, so she dared to snatch the candy. Now that Su Qing is here too, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she had three hundred guts.
After eating, Su Qing packed up his things and prepared to go back with Si Ya on his back.
Mother Su called her back, "Xiaoqing, take Daya and the others back with you. The girls are very delicate, and there are burrs on the rice ears. Don't let them get allergic to them."
In fact, Daya and the others couldn't stand it anymore. Their arms, which had held the ears of corn, were covered with many small red spots and felt itchy.
