"Have you achieved any results for the thing I asked you to remind me of before?" Liu Ye put down the book in his hand and asked Ruan Yu in a low voice with some caution after Wang Yue left.

"I asked my mother to talk to Aunt Wang privately. Don't worry, Aunt Wang said that when she sent Ah Yue to the health center, she asked the doctor to help prescribe medicine."

Liu Ye asked in a subtle way, but Ruan Yu knew exactly what she was asking and immediately whispered the answer to Liu Ye to put her mind at ease.

"That's good!

This is no small matter, so it's better to be careful. If a child is born, wouldn't it cause trouble for Ah Yue?"

Only after hearing Ruan Yu's affirmative answer did Liu Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but pat my chest and sigh.

"Speaking of this, my mother came back and told me that Ah Yue had asked Du Peng about this matter.

Sister Yue asked Du Peng what he would do if she was really pregnant with his eldest brother's child.

Ruan Yu glanced at Liu Ye and brought up another thing that Ouyang Mingnuo told her when he came back.

“That’s a difficult question to answer.”

Liu Ye smiled. This was simply a fatal question for Du Peng now.

“It is said that Du Peng answered quickly and straightforwardly.

He said that, in his opinion, this child should not have come into this world. However, he respected Ah Yue's choice. "

When Ruan Yu said this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that if Du Peng was not truly upright and was just acting, then it would be really terrible.

However, Wang Yue is not really a love-brained person who only cares about feelings. When it comes to the couple's relationship, only the couple themselves have the final say.

"By the way, the old branch secretary's 70th birthday is in two days."

Liu Ye thought about it, and suddenly remembered what her mother told her when she left home. She said to Ruan Yu, "My mother has been worried about what gift to give these past two days."

When mentioning this happening right before her eyes, Liu Ye frowned and looked at Ruan Yu with a headache, unable to help but feel worried.

"To be honest, we are also worried about this matter."

Ruan Yu did not hide it from Liu Ye and whispered, "I was planning to send some supplements or something, but my mother-in-law said that I should wait and see."

If we really talk about giving gifts, Ruan Yu feels that there are a lot of things that can be given at home.

But here, when you send gifts, you have to consider other people. For example, if you send two cans of malted milk, it can easily solve the problem, but if you really send it, what about other people?

Although the old branch secretary's birthday party is not planned to be a big one this time, he will still invite relatives and villagers who are particularly familiar with him to come over for a meal.

When something like this happens, people who come to celebrate the birthday will at least give birthday gifts.

So at this time, it is always better to blend in with others than to stand out alone.

So in the end, Ouyang Mingnuo's plan was to wait until the day came to see what others gave, and then they would give gifts together with their relatives.

"Yesterday, Aunt Hongying came to our house to talk to my mother. She sighed when she mentioned the old branch secretary. She said that the old branch secretary has been in a bad mood recently, and she was thinking about whether she could use this birthday party to make the old branch secretary happy!"

Although Ruan Yu didn't say it explicitly, Liu Ye still heard the deeper meaning in her words.

Liu Ye nodded, and at the same time did not forget to mention another thing that was worrying her.

"What happened to the old secretary?"

Ruan Yu was stunned. She had hardly gone out in the past two days, so it had been a while since she had greeted the old branch secretary. She didn't know that he was in a bad mood recently.

"It's all about the public grain payment for our Kaoshantun Brigade."

When Liu Ye talked about this, a look of sadness appeared on her face.

She is different from Ruan Yu.

Although Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen now settled in Kaoshantun, they actually did not need to rely on the work points and food they earned from working in the fields to survive.

Therefore, the current troubles actually do not have much impact on her.

But for Liu Ye and the others, this impact is no small matter.

"As you know, we suffered a flood this year, and large tracts of farmland were submerged and no crops were harvested. If it weren't for President Wu and his team quickly arranging to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, we would have had to borrow food from the government to survive the entire winter.

Regarding this year's situation, the state has reduced and exempted more than half of the public grain payment quota, but this can only solve our temporary troubles.

If we encounter any unexpected events next year, we can't always ask the government for help!

Therefore, the old branch secretary and his colleagues have been rushing to the county for meetings recently to discuss how to expand production, increase grain output, and strive for a good harvest next year.

But this is easier said than done. "

Liu Ye did not hide some of her own opinions. She counted on her fingers and told Ruan Yu about the shortcomings of many things in the commune.

“Look, you’ve worked in the fields and earned work points before.

Take our brigade for example, during the busy farming season, the maximum work points a person can get is 20 points. No matter how much you do, you can only get 20 points.

So many people can obviously do more work, but because of the limit on work points, everyone would rather finish today's tasks and take a rest than swing the hoe any longer.

Although the old branch secretary would make mobilization speeches every time, the actual effect was not very significant.

It’s not that everyone is unwilling to be proactive. As you know, most of us can only afford to eat enough to fill our stomachs.

After working so hard, where does food come from?

Therefore, over the years, the grain production of our commune or brigade has always been limited. After paying the public grain tax, the amount left to be distributed to each household and each person is becoming less and less.

So the old branch secretary and head Wu had a dispute with several other leaders in our commune."

"What dispute?" Ruan Yu blinked. In fact, she knew President Wu well. He was a very smooth leader.

No matter what is handled, it is done to perfection.

It's rare to be able to argue with others!

"I heard that it was Sister Guiqin's husband who brought back the news. He works at the railway station, so he is naturally more informed than us.

It is said that some comrades from the brigade outside signed their names and pledged their rights, and started the household contract responsibility system! "

She looked up at Ruan Yu, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she thought she didn't understand what he meant, so she continued to add in detail: "It means to distribute the land of our commune equally to each of our families according to the number of people.

From now on, we will farm our own land, and after the harvest, we will pay enough grain to the state and the collective according to the quality and quantity of the land, and the rest will be ours!

The more you work, the more you get; the less you work, the less you get! "
