As the saying goes, if a brigade doesn't want to be advanced, it's not a good brigade. Shen Erzhu has been diligently leading everyone in production just to get the title of advanced brigade.
Not only did he want it, but everyone wanted it too. There were many benefits to getting the title of advanced brigade. Not only were the work points valuable, but with the title of advanced brigade, it would be easier for the sons and daughters in the family to get married. Once they said their brigade was an advanced brigade, others would look up to them.
So everyone responded very positively to what Shen Erzhu said.
"Next spring, we will work hard to start production!"
"Next spring, we will work hard to start production!"
"Next spring, we will work hard to start production!"
Their voices were really loud. Shen Shuyu stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's loud and vigorous voices, and felt her ears buzzing.
What could Shen Shuyu do? She just joined in the slogan shouting.
The current grain output is high per mu, not to mention the future.
With the current output, after paying the public grain tax, we can only say that we will not starve to death, but we can't even think about eating enough, unless we eat this meal and don't need to eat the next one.
Thinking of the grain output, Shen Shuyu had some thoughts in his mind.
Nowadays, there are few families that have split up their families. Most of the time, the parents still stay together and eat from the same pot.
When distributing food, the whole family would go out, and there was no need to push a cart. Everyone in the family, young and old, could carry a bag of food back.
But when it was Shen Shuyu's family's turn, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Chunling had divorced and came back to live at home. She received the full work points for a woman every day. With the extra work she did, she earned a lot more work points.
In addition to food, you can also get ten yuan.
Everyone in the big house was a strong laborer and worked without any laziness. In addition to food, they were given 26 yuan.
The second branch received 23 yuan, while the third branch received a little less. Only Uncle Shen San and Liu Pandi worked. Even if they were capable, one person could not do the work of three people, so they only received 17 yuan.
Liu Pandi held the seventeen yuan in her hand and felt exhausted. After the family property was divided, she worked without slacking off and worked herself to death, but only got seven yuan. When the child was born next year, there would be one more mouth to feed, and she, Liu Pandi, would have to work hard.
In the past, the work points of the whole family were calculated together. In addition to food, they could also get 70 or 80 yuan, which she thought was quite a lot at that time.
Once the family is divided, not only can we not be lazy at work, but we also have less money.
How can she live like this? She hesitated and whispered that she wanted to live with her in-laws. Uncle Shen didn't want to pay attention to her. The family had already split up, and she still said this. "Okay, wait ten years. After ten years, I will talk to my parents and let them live with us."
Liu Pan choked. She was talking about now. Ten years from now, maybe his parents would not be able to work anymore and would have to wait for their son and daughter-in-law to take care of them.
The man said this, is he asking her to serve her in-laws? Liu Pandi glared at him and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Uncle Shen: "Don't you want to live with your parents anymore?"
"I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to do it anymore. We've divided the family property, but now we're eating together. This is unfair to the first and second wives."
What was she thinking? She wanted to eat with her parents-in-law now because she thought they could help her, but the man said that ten years later, what else would she want?
Zhang Cuicui couldn't help laughing when she heard this. It seems that the third brother can control his wife.
Zhang Cuicui was quite content with the money she got. Although it was not much, she could still make a living if she lived frugally.
With food and money, life is so much happier than during the famine years. At least no one will starve to death now, and we can occasionally eat meat and have candy.
Li Caixia is also satisfied. The money is in her own hands. She will work hard next year and save money year by year, and their second wife will also have some assets.
Since going to the countryside, Gu Jiandong has earned full work points every day, but in addition to food, he also received three yuan.
Not long after he went to the countryside, he was given three yuan, which was considered the best.
After receiving the food, the educated youth did not return to the dormitory. Seeing that they had received so much food and money, the other educated youth were very envious.
Forget about sharing the profits, it’s lucky they don’t even have to put any money into it.
Among the educated youth who came with Gu Jiandong, two female and one male educated youth had to pay money to the brigade because they did not have enough work points and had to pay back the food they had bought on credit.
In fact, if Shen Shuyu's family calculated their allocation of food carefully and ate sparingly, they would have enough to eat without having to spend money to buy food.
But Old Man and Old Lady Shen wanted their eldest granddaughter to eat well and have enough, so they still had to buy food.
After the food was distributed, Old Mrs. Shen spent some money to buy 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 50 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of corn, and 50 kilograms of wheat.
Not only Old Mrs. Shen bought grain, but Second Mrs. Shen also bought some. She has a daughter who married into the city and has a job, and they eat commercial grain.
But commercial grain is fixed in quota and quantity. There are several children in the family who are eager to eat, so the commercial grain is not enough. Not only do you need food coupons to buy food at the grain station, but the price is also not cheap.
My mother's family is from the countryside, so every year when the grain is distributed, Second Lady Shen's daughter would ask her mother to buy some coarse grains.
Few villagers buy food. They work every day and earn enough to eat.
Most of the people who bought food were educated youth, but they didn't buy much. Fifty kilograms was the most they could buy.
They wanted to buy more, but they didn't have enough money.
There was a male educated youth who wanted to borrow money from Gu Jiandong. Gu Jiandong was very stingy with outsiders. What's more, this man had a shifty look and even flirted with Shen Shuyu. How could he lend money? It was considered good-tempered that he didn't fight back.
"No loan."
He said he didn't want to lend money, so Bai Luobo rushed over and pushed the male educated youth who asked to borrow money to the ground.
After pushing the person down, it rolled its eyes and twisted its butt at the educated youth.
