Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

At 3 pm, Gu Qianjin returned with the grain-paying team, looking exhausted.

Everyone looked forward to seeing Gu Qianjin

Gu Qianjin waved his hand and said, "The task of delivering public grain has been successfully completed. Three days later, we will distribute grain after we have checked the work points!!! You should also calculate your own work points. When the time comes, we will check the problems on site. Don't worry, you will not lose a single cent of the grain you deserve."

Everyone cheered in unison: "Great!!!"

Everyone went home happily to calculate their work points for the year. After working hard for a year, they could finally get their share of the new grain!!!

The per capita rations of the Second Brigade are the same every year: young and middle-aged laborers are allocated 540 kilograms of grain per year, female laborers are allocated 480 kilograms of grain per year, and as for children and the elderly, they are divided according to whether they can work in the fields. Those who can work are allocated 360 kilograms per year, and those who cannot work are allocated 240 kilograms per year. Children under the age of 2 are allocated 180 kilograms of grain per year, of which fine grains account for 30% and coarse grains account for 70%. Those who work in other places cannot participate in the distribution of per capita rations.

The remaining food was divided according to work points. Those with more work points got more, and those with fewer work points got less.

If it's still not enough, you have to pay for some food.

Gu Nuanyi roughly calculated her work points. It was only five months from the time she came back in May to the end of the autumn harvest. Excluding the days of vacation, she earned four work points a day. Her work points were higher during the autumn harvest, at eight points a day, but that was only for ten days. In total, she only earned more than 5 work points...

Gu Nuanyi took a deep breath: "If I rely on work points to eat, I will really starve myself to death..."

three days later

Gu Qianjin asked everyone to line up at the brigade headquarters and prepare to distribute food.

Everyone rushed to the brigade headquarters pushing their own carts. Those who didn't have carts carried shoulder poles, and lined up excitedly to wait for their share of food.

"Hey, how much food can your family get this year?"

"Not much. This year we have a new kid in the family, so it's just enough to eat..."

Everyone was chatting while queuing, and they couldn't suppress the smile on their faces.

Gu Nuanyi went late, and she herself didn't get much food. If she went too early, she would be lectured by those enthusiastic aunts, so it would be better to go later...

It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Gu Nuanyi pushed the cart slowly towards the brigade headquarters.

The timing is just right, there are two people in line ahead of us

Gu Qianjin: "Hey, Xiao Nuan is here!"

Gu Nuanyi nodded: "Uncle, I'm here to get the food."

Gu Qianjin thought of Gu Nuanyi's pitiful work points, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Stand in line, it will be your turn soon"

Gu Nuanyi soon lined up. The brigade's finance officer flipped through the account book and said to Gu Nuanyi, "You only came back in May this year, so I can't calculate your per capita rations for the whole year. I can only give you 5 kilograms of food, plus your work points, the total is 240 kilograms, including 310 kilograms of fine grains and 93 kilograms of coarse grains. Take a look, and sign if everything looks right."

The brigade secretary twitched his lips: "Xiao Nuan, is this enough food?"

Gu Nuanyi looked at the brigade secretary and said, "Uncle, can I buy some grain? I want fine grain."

The brigade secretary twitched his lips and said, "You are quite picky, girl. I can, but I can only sell you 100 kilograms. More than that won't work."

Gu Nuanyi paid 15 yuan more to buy 100 kilograms of fine grains

The brigade's finance officer shook his head: "Tsk, what a waste!!!"

Gu Qianjin knocked on the brigade finance officer's head and said, "They can afford it, why are you so greedy?!"

When it’s time to cook, every household is filled with the rich aroma of food, and the children are so hungry that they don’t even play outside, but sit by the stove early to wait for dinner.

Today, we all cooked vegetable porridge. Although there were more vegetables than rice, they all cooked it thick.

If possible, add two red dates and cook together. The whole pot of rice porridge will be sweet.

The children ate without even looking up. It was so rare to have a bowl of this thick vegetable porridge!!!
