Chapter Seventy-One: The Matter of Public Rations

The weather is very hot, and the seedlings in the field are rising day by day, green and lush, and it looks very gratifying.

Qiao's father and several old people from the fourth team had to go to see it three times a day, estimating the time when they could plant seedlings.

The seedlings of late rice are different from those of early rice, the early rice seedlings are relatively low and generally raise seedlings in dry land, while the seedlings of late rice are raised in paddy fields, and the seedlings grow tall, and when the seedlings are planted, a large section of the tail must be cut off.

However, the growth of this batch of seedlings is different from their common late rice seedlings, which is relatively low, so several experienced old farmers have been discussing.

Speaking of which, Qiao Jiayue is already very new to farming, she only provides seeds, and she doesn't want to interfere with the specific planting methods.

Recently, she has been studying the aftermath of the curse, such as Grandma Qiao and Aunt Qiao, and now they are almost invisible in the crowd of broken mouths.

And their mouths were intact for a few days, and it was difficult to eat and drink, let alone speak, so they were very depressed, like the wilted vegetable seedlings.

Grandpa Qiao is happy all day long, and it can be seen that he has been quite comfortable recently.

And the most obvious manifestation should be Aunt Qiao, the corners of her mouth have increased less, her big eyes are full of smiles, and her waist has straightened.

Sometimes when she meets Qiao Jiayue, she will stuff a few wild fruits over.

After Aunt Qiao found out that Grandma Qiao's best scolding skills could not be displayed, she became bold and began to pack up a few children in the family.

Among them, Qiao Hongmu is the most miserable, and he was taught a bruise on his body, who made him Grandma Qiao's most beloved grandson, with the most bad problems!

Qiao Jiayue has always been very strange, Grandma Qiao is so superb, how can Grandpa Qiao marry back? The key is that Qiao's father and several brothers are not crooked.

Curious, she asked Qiao's mother, only to know that Grandpa Qiao was not simple, he had read private school like Qiao Xiangyang, so the two old men usually got together to chat most often.

However, he didn't go to a private school in the local area, and no one else knew about it except Qiao's father.

As for why Grandpa Qiao married Grandma Qiao, it is said that it was because he was favored by others, so he had no choice but to accept this marriage.

He clearly knows Grandma Qiao's temperament, several children are raised by him personally, although the most promising is Qiao's father, and the other children are not particularly prominent, but they are also crooked.

As for Aunt Qiao, Uncle Qiao's marriage to her was completely designed, so his relationship with Grandma Qiao was the worst.

However, under the secret guidance of Grandpa Qiao, in addition to beating his daughter-in-law, Uncle Qiao has a good education for several children.

When Qiao Jiayue heard this, she was also emotional, no one knew who had any hole cards, so it was better not to underestimate people.

She is actually not close to Grandpa Qiao and the others, and now that she knows these inside information, she may not have to reject them so much.

But now that the conditions are simple, she doesn't dare to take things to honor his old man, so it's better to say a few more good words when they meet.

Half a month after the typhoon, the cadres of the commune finally came to check on the disaster situation, and at the same time informed them of the need to pay public rations, the amount of which was reduced by one-third compared with the previous notice, and could be converted into any grain.

Chen Dongfang plucked out a lot of content from the commune cadres, and it turned out that many cadres of the brigade who were seriously affected by the disaster went to the commune to cry, saying that the rice fields were out of production, casualties and other things, and wanted to reduce the public grain.

However, this year's ration was already higher than in the past, and even if it was reduced by one-third, most of the brigades still could not afford to pay it.

Chen Dongfang has actually been taking the accountant and production captain of the brigade to settle accounts these days, and by the time of leap June, the Gaoshan Brigade could barely collect two-thirds of the public grain.

The rice harvest, which everyone had been worried about, was not criticized by the commune cadres, but they were praised for doing a good job and reducing losses for the commune and the country.

Qiao Jiayue went to see the pumpkin that Qiao Hongzhi had planted before, and the vines were long and numerous, and they had already produced small fruits.

Local varieties of pumpkins have at least half of these small fruits before they grow, so the number that can eventually grow is not very large.

However, how can the pumpkins exchanged by the system be the same?

"Abba, you didn't include pumpkins when calculating the grain production of the brigade, did you?" Qiao Jiayue said with a smile.

"Pumpkins belong to the vegetable category and are not cumulative. Father Qiao felt as if he had guessed what Qiao Jiayue was going to say, "What other characteristics does that high-yield pumpkin have?"

"Abba, you're so smart, this pumpkin can grow until the beginning of winter. She hadn't looked carefully before, only to find out later that there were small notes.

Father Qiao was surprised, "So long?"

Qiao Jiayue nodded, "So as long as there are finch wheat and pumpkins, it doesn't matter if everything else is converted into public grain." ”

Father Qiao smiled, "You think a lot, is it that we should pay the public grain earlier!"

"Yes!" Qiao Jiayue nodded vigorously, it depends on whether the school can do it.

Father Qiao narrowed his eyes, "The brigade headquarters is about to have a meeting to discuss the matter of paying public grain, you don't have to wait for me at night." "There's a grind for this!

At the brigade headquarters, the flames danced, casting everyone's shadows on the wall, and with a slight movement, the magnified shadows opened their teeth and claws.

"Smack!", Qiao Yibing slapped the table, "I don't agree, since it is unlikely that other brigades will hand over the public grain, why should we be the first bird?"

"As much as other brigades pay, we will also pay. Qiao Yisheng echoed on the side.

Chen Dongfang's face turned red, he proposed the idea of paying the public grain early, but the other cadres of the brigade did not cooperate.

Qiao Zhenghuo snorted twice: "We have been tired and tired for half a year, and nothing has fallen well, so what are we doing actively?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pinched by Qiao Tie on the side, "Shut up, don't you know what to say?"

Qiao Zhenghuo recalled what he had just said, his eyes flashed, and he retracted his thoughts of wanting to justify.

Qiao Zhengxing, the accountant on the side of Qiao Gaotie, and Lu Yuehua, the women's director, were motionless, narrowing their sense of existence, anyway, they were invisible people in the team headquarters.

"There are so many brigades in the commune, and our Gaoshan Brigade is the first to hand over, that's glory, you know? Thinking about the previous private storage of grain, how bad the reputation of the Gaoshan Brigade is, now is an opportunity to make up for it. ”

Chen Dongfang did not give up, and after handing over the public grain, both the commune and the county party committee would take a look at the Gaoshan Brigade, and their attitude towards him as the captain would be unusual.

He needed recognition and commendation from the commune and the county party committee to improve his status.

The longer he stayed in the Gaoshan Brigade, the more he felt that these brigade cadres did not take themselves seriously, and they were too aggrieved.

"Fart, what do you have to make up for, and your reputation can be used as food? I think you want to make benefits for yourself!" Qiao Yisheng pointed at Chen Dongfang's nose and scolded.

Chen Dongfang's face turned even redder, he stood up suddenly, tripped over the stool, and his fingers were shaking, "You don't have much blood, who am I doing this for, not for your Alpine Brigade!"

Qiao Yisheng and Qiao Yibing immediately quarreled with Chen Dongfang, and with Qiao Zhenghuo and others helping on the side, Chen Dongfang couldn't defend himself, and he was about to vomit blood with anger.

Qiao's father, who had been silent, picked up the enamel cup and smashed it on the table hard, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"I agree with the captain's idea, our brigade is the first to pay public rations, and we have set an example for other brigades, and we can ask the commune for rewards. ”

The person who was about to say something heard the word reward and instantly fell silent, leaving only a few heavy breaths.
