Eating melons

Not to mention that their own belongings are no worse than those at home.

Their confidence comes from their own talent, and they are very confident and don’t need to think about these things at all.

Of course, the most important thing is that they don’t take those trivial things seriously.

When they arrived at the threshing ground, fortunately there were still people ahead of them who had not received their grain yet, so they did not need others to wait for them, and they did not need to be treated like monkeys.

But there were only a few people in the family, so they would be all gone soon. Seeing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi immediately ran to line up, fearing that someone would get ahead of them. Maybe this is the characteristic of Chinese people.

In just over twenty minutes, it was their turn.

"You came late and didn't hear me just now. Let me tell you again, the money from selling the pigs this year will be used to buy piglets next year, so we won't share any of it. Therefore, the price of work points is not as high as last year."

Accountant Zhou made a special explanation for fear that they would misunderstand why the money was so little this year.

Upon hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi immediately shook their heads and waved their hands, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all the same, it's all the same, we must put the overall situation first."

Although this has little to do with them, even if it does, they dare not have any opinion about it.

The price of work points was not that high, so the result was that after working for a year this year, the money they received was almost the same as last year.

Wei Wei received over 160 yuan, and Jiang Qi received a little over 150 yuan.

Liu Jiaojiao turned it over. After all, not only did she work much longer this year, she also worked much harder.

The main thing is that she has to work hard. It is obvious that their family conditions are better than each other, but they work harder than each other. I have never seen anyone so unyielding.

Compared with last year, Wu Mei got a lot more, a little over two hundred.

The three male educated youth each received more than two hundred, nearly three hundred.

Wu Mei was so excited that she didn't know what to do with the huge sum of two hundred yuan. She had never received so much money before.

To be honest, if it were in the past, she would have received the huge sum of two hundred yuan, and after calculating how much money she had spent this year, she might have taken out half of it to help her family when she returned.

Because her family is under great financial pressure.

This year, she only spent fifty or sixty yuan on food, meat, etc., and that was even if she ate well.

Moreover, I earned more than half of it from Liu Jiaojiao and Wei Wei this year.

So forty or fifty yuan is enough for her throughout the year, which is completely enough.

However, in order to prevent any unexpected accidents from happening, and also to prevent herself from always taking advantage of Wei Wei and the others at future dinners, she would keep a hundred yuan in her hand.

But after hearing what Wei Wei and Jiang Qi said, Wu Mei decided to keep the money for herself and not give it to her family.

When you go back, bring some fine grains and mountain products with you, and give red envelopes to your parents and younger siblings during the Chinese New Year.

After all, she also has to live, and she has to plan for the future early. She can't let her children end up like her. It's enough for her to suffer some hardships herself.

The money is not much more than last year, but the amount of food distributed is more than double that of last year.

Although work points are not as valuable, the ratio of them to food is still the same, or even more. After all, a lot of wasteland has been opened up this year, and there is a lot more food than last year.

It’s just that those people gave the highest proportion of fine grains, so the coarse grains were not much more than last year.

Even Wu Mei is the same. The main reason is that she is eating with Liu Jiaojiao and others, and she can't cook two dishes every time. Otherwise, Liu Jiaojiao and Yu Xi will feel uncomfortable after watching them for a long time.

I didn’t have the conditions before, but now I have them, so I should be a little nicer to myself.

After all, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were right. The body is the capital of revolution. We cannot ruin our body just to save these little things. We need to work and replenish nutrition.

People should be kind to themselves, and they should have long-term vision and not just focus on the petty gains in front of them.

Because they would go to the brigade to buy fine grains every once in a while, the people in the Red Star Brigade did not find their way of exchanging grains strange at all.

As soon as Jiang Qi got home, he lay down on the kang and said, "Alas, this year's batch of educated youth are quite unlucky, especially Fang Yin. Who knew that we wouldn't get any money this year?

The difference between getting paid and not getting paid is huge. This year, I've done much more work than last year, but I didn't expect the pay to be that much different."

Wei Wei didn't think the money was small at all. A hundred yuan was not a lot in her eyes, but that didn't mean it was the same in the eyes of others.

"This is already very good. If you compare it to other places, even without the money and even without considering the large amount of grain, the price of these work points alone is quite high."

She heard about this from the grandparents in the village when she lived with her grandparents in the countryside in her previous life.

When they were eating government food, a whole family might not be able to save enough money for a hundred yuan in a whole year.

At that time, there was a family in the village. Because they had three daughters but no son, they thought that they would have no descendants, so the family members were not very active in working.

After the family split up, there were five people in the family. Although there were only two main laborers, the children could also help with the work.

The family was not particularly active at work, but they were not lazy either. They were just average. Later on, the family could not even afford the children's tuition.

It’s not that I couldn’t bear to pay, it’s that I really couldn’t afford it. Tuition fees at that time were only a few cents.

Several children were about to go to school. Every time they had to pay tuition, the teacher would ask them to pay it again and again. The girls at the back felt that this was very embarrassing, so they stopped going to school.

It is easy to imagine how worthless work points were at that time.

This shows how valuable the work points here are. The two educated youth were only half-baked at their work and only worked for more than half a year.

This is even before sharing the money from selling the pigs. There is still more than a hundred yuan left for so much food, which is something that other places cannot even think about.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why she works so hard.

Because the older generation often talked about things in that era, she still had a deep impression of the hardships of that era.

She knew deeply how important land and food were to people of this era.

If she works lazily and doesn't take it seriously, no one in the village will like her.

If she wasted the food, it would actually be disrespectful to the local villagers.

Although that is what we said, only the Red Star Brigade offers such good treatment, not the other brigades.

I can only say that Zhang Xinwang is really courageous. You know, this brigade's breeding farm was established with the guarantee of Zhang Xinwang's life.

At the beginning, there was no farm. This was set up by money contributed by every household, and the scale was very small at the beginning.

Zhang Xinwang had guaranteed that if the company suffered losses or went bankrupt, he would be beheaded.
