Yang Mumu took the account book, and the three of them huddled together to look at the numbers on it, automatically calculating in their minds how much money they could get.
Yang Mumu looked at the two leaders in front of him and said excitedly: "Uncle, Captain, I am already excited just looking at the money, let's get started."
"Hahaha, yeah, I was also very excited when I heard how much the money was sold for." The captain opened the bag containing the money. "I know you are all very excited, so I won't say any more nonsense. Go to your uncle and sign the payment form. I will count the money for you first."
"Okay, Captain."
The three of them responded in unison. Yang Mumu was the first to take the notebook handed to Uncle Xiang.
"We negotiated a package price for all fish, regardless of species, and sold them to the supply and marketing cooperative at 1 cent per pound. Shrimp were sold at 0.2 cents per pound."
Xiang Qianjin said as she signed:
"Mumu's catch weighed 271.3 kilograms, which is 271.3 yuan. Half of that is 135 yuan. 65 cents. I'll make it an even number, 136 yuan. Please sign if you are sure."
"That's right. That's right."
Yang Mumu picked up the pen and signed his name.
After she signed, the captain took the money and put it in front of everyone and said, "Come, watch me count it. 136 yuan."
"Um."
Yang Mumu watched the captain count out the bills one by one and hand them to her. She was happier than ever before with the 136 yuan she earned from selling fish.
"Thank you, Captain."
The captain was happy to see her joy at getting the money.
"Okay, next."
Song Yan held the pen and looked at Uncle Qianjin with joy on his face.
"Song Yan, yours is 132.5 kilograms, so half of that is 66.25 yuan."
"good."
Song Yan wrote down his name quickly, took the money given by the captain, stood next to Yang Mumu, and touched it again and again with joy.
"Xingzhou's is 140.7 yuan, half of that is 70.35 yuan."
"Thank you, Uncle Qianjin, thank you, Captain."
After Gu Xingzhou took the money, the captain looked at their smiling faces, nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the money has been divided, there is nothing else to do, you can go and do your own things."
"good."
The three of them took the money and left the brigade office. Song Yan waved the money and ran towards the Youth League Home.
"Sister Mu, take your time. I'm going back to find Qingwan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things."
"Okay, run slower."
"Hey, Iwako-chan is smart!!"
Yang Mumu muttered something and then retracted his gaze, looking down at the money in his hand, counting them one by one.
"One card of great unity, two cards of great unity..."
Gu Xingzhou looked at her money-loving look, smiled dotingly, and handed the money in his hand to Yang Mumu who was counting the money.
"Hmm?" Yang Mumu raised her head and looked at him, and asked softly, "What do you mean?"
"For you."
Gu Xingzhou pried her hands open and put the money in.
Yang Mumu held the money in her hand, her eyes sparkling, "Are you really giving it to me? I'll take it?"
Gu Xingzhou looked at Yang Mumu sincerely with his eyes: "Well, here you go. All the money I earn in the future will be given to you. When I have a chance later, I will go home to get the passbook back and give it all to you."
"Okay, but don't give me the passbook yet. We can talk about it after we get married." Yang Mumu put all the money in her pocket without hesitation, shook her head at him, and walked forward, "Let's go back to the Youth Hostel to get busy."
"As you say."
Gu Xingzhou took a big step forward and followed.
Now that there is no farm work to do, I have more free time. Along the way, I saw many members preparing and drying vegetables at home, so they have no shortage of vegetables to eat during the lean season.
After Yang Mumu returned to the Youth League Home, he also prepared to dry the vegetables, starting with the shrimps he had caught yesterday.
When Xia Zhizhi and He Yuan saw Yang Mumu busying around, they brought back all the vegetables they had grown in their own private plots and went to Yang Mumu's yard to learn how to cut and dry the vegetables.
Gu Xingzhou climbed onto the roof and started to inspect the roof. After the inspection, he took a sack and went to the beach to collect sand.
When other male and female educated youth in the Youth Farm saw this, they also followed suit to carry out maintenance and went to the beach to fill sandbags. Everyone was busy.
Song Yan and Liu Qingwan joined the team after they came back.
The members of the team are not only busy with their own housework, but also busy with the promotion of the team's honor.
Those gossipy members formed a "propaganda team" and happily went to visit various brigades, carrying some fragrant roasted pumpkin seeds. They specifically chose to walk around and play when the brigades were busy working in the fields.
After the honor was announced, the talking aunt started to say in annoyance when she saw people:
"Oh, I envy your team for still working hard to harvest the autumn harvest. There is work to do. Unlike our team, we have nothing to do. I can only walk around. Oh, I am too lazy. What should I do?!"
"......?"
Is that human language?
The people who were working were feeling a little confused.
"Forget it, just take your time to work. You don't understand my hardship. Well, I'd better go back to the team to play!" Aunt shook her head in distress, sighed, and left without looking back.
The people who stayed where they were were feeling the urge to beat someone up, they looked down at the work in their hands, feeling envious but also working hard.
After the members of the "Publicity Team" of the Haha Brigade finished chatting, they returned to their homes contentedly amid the resentful gazes of other brigades, and then went to other places to check in, showing their dedication to their work.
The team leader was also busy, exchanging experiences on autumn harvest and how to improve work efficiency with other team leaders. During the conversation, he inadvertently showed off his own team.
Everyone in the team is really busy with their own things.
In two days, all the brigades in the commune successfully knew that Haha Brigade was the first to pay the public grain, its sideline business was booming, its members were happy and healthy, and the happiness index of the entire team soared.
Other brigades were also stimulated and accelerated the pace of autumn harvest.
On the other hand, Shen Xingci went down to the grassroots level with the commune leaders every day to supervise in person. The importance he attached to it made the captains of each brigade tighten up their work and keep a close eye on the autumn harvest, not daring to make any mistakes.
The light rain in the next few days fell on time just as Yang Mumu and Gu Xingzhou had said. This put more pressure on Shen Xingci, and he took it more seriously, giving repeated instructions to each team.
The captains of each brigade also knew the interests involved. They felt tremendous pressure when they saw it raining. Food was the life of the people, and no one dared to gamble.
Except for the Haha Team, all other teams were working overtime, racing against time to harvest the crops and not daring to waste any time.
