The villagers here do not have such treatment. They work for a year and can only get their food during the Chinese New Year. Various tickets and work points will also not be distributed until the Chinese New Year.
Some families work for a year, but still have to borrow food to make a living. These are called "upside-down households", and there are such people in every village.
The last day of every month is a holiday. Villagers don’t have to go to work and will go to the market in town.
This day was also the happiest day for the educated youth, as they were given food and money. Everyone had discussed the night before that they would go to the town together to buy what they needed the next day.
As soon as the sky was getting light, the young people in the Youth League compound were eager to try and ready to set off.
When they arrived at the place where the ox cart was parked, the cart was already full of people, ready to set off.

So even though he is over seventy years old, he is still happy to be a rickshaw driver for the villagers.
Zhang Hongyang said, "Uncle Chen, you guys go ahead! We can go slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Uncle Chen laughed and said, "We are in the countryside, where can we find beautiful scenery? Okay! We'll go first."
With a crack of the whip, the ox cart slowly set off.
Jiang Baige didn't want to buy anything, she just wanted to find out where the black market of Hongqi Labor Society was.
