"Didn't I take a leave of absence early in the morning today and go to the county seat to see my pregnant daughter? Then I just entered their textile factory dormitory, and I was terrible. Guess what I heard? Under the big tree, the aunt fanned the fan and leaned next to the others.

"Hey, if you like to talk about it or not, why don't you say half of it! We don't know you yet, you can't hide your words, you can say it while we are free! A few of us rushed home to cook in a while, but we didn't have time to listen to you! It's up to you to talk to whom. ”

"Eh, I said, I said. I heard my daughter's people from their textile factory say that there is a county town, and their grain production is amazing! 10,000 catties per mu, my God.

I couldn't believe it, but they all said it was in the newspapers. The newspaper also published a photo of the field, and the whole field was crowded with grain.

I wondered if it was really a newspaper report as they said, and that would be fine. The yield per mu is 10,000 catties, and planting a few acres of land is enough for many people to eat for a year. ”

"It's really fake, why does this sound so unreal. If someone tells me that there is some magic cast by the gods to make the crops grow in a day, I may still believe a little. ”

Yiyi was sitting under the big tree with these aunts in their brigade to enjoy the coolness, so she also heard what they said.

Yiyi was put here by her grandmother, and let these aunts help watch her; And these aunts are not simply chatting under the big tree, but are in charge of guarding the grain that is drying in the grain field next to them, and from time to time they need to drive away the sparrows that want to peck at the grain that is drying on the ground.

Some children in the barn who are about nine or ten years old are holding slingshots or using baskets to try to catch the sparrows. After all, if you catch it, you can add some meat to your own home, and fried and grilled sparrows taste good.

And Yiyi squatted next to these aunts, pretending to be playing with sand and flowers, but in fact she was petting the cat, but others couldn't see the little ones.

"Yiyi, didn't you say before that you could let me come out to eat openly? When will it be, and how long will it take? Xiaoxiao asked Yiyi while purring.

"It's coming, it's coming." Yiyi answered Xiaoxiao perfunctorily, but her hand never left Xiaoxiao, she seemed to be a cat machine with no emotion, and she had been petting the cat.

At this time, Yiyi did not listen carefully and think about small questions, but was thinking about other things. She was thinking about what the aunt had just discussed, and according to the information from the aunt who had gone to the county seat to visit her eldest daughter, it was supposed to be another incident that had exacerbated the impact of the disaster.

Through the world plot, she learned about the general historical development process of this world, and the major events have been achieved. This aunt heard in the county seat that there is a county town with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, and the report is true. However, the real yield per mu is not tens of thousands, in fact, because of the impact of a certain degree of drought, the grain output has also decreased.

The reason for this false reporting is also related to the fact that grain production has been reduced due to the impact of drought. Because some local cadres were afraid of being criticized, they falsely reported the actual price, and then after exaggerating layer by layer, the reported grain output finally became 10,000 catties per mu.

After the county was reported and praised for falsely reporting production, there were cases of one county after another imitating the false production. As more and more counties have been praised by newspapers for their grain yields of 10,000 catties per mu, many people have changed from the first doubts to believing that there is really a yield of 10,000 catties per mu.

As everyone gradually believed that the yield of 10,000 catties per mu really existed, in order to prevent the areas under their jurisdiction from being criticized and questioned by the leaders because of the low grain output due to the impact of the drought, the county towns began to falsely report their own output.

After each production brigade reports its grain production, it is required to hand over the grain in proportion to the grain, that is, to sell it to the grain purchasing station at a fixed price.

False reporting of excessively high grain production in various localities has led to a problem. The amount of public grain that needs to be paid exceeds more than half of the actual grain production, or the whole grain is paid, and there are even grain arrears.

The grain was sold to the grain purchasing station as public grain, and the members had no food to distribute. In particular, when such an event occurred during a prolonged and widespread drought, the situation of farmers who did not have enough food in the first place was even worse.

However, it is still some time before this trend of over-reporting and exaggerating grain production has taken shape, and it is only the first case of over-reporting of grain production.

At present, only a very small number of people in Hongqi Commune naively believe that the news in the county newspaper is true, and most people still do not believe the real situation without seeing it with their own eyes.

And their area is about to harvest rice, and everyone's attention has also shifted from whether other counties really have a yield of 10,000 catties per mu, and devote themselves to the work of harvesting their own rice.

After all, even if there is really a yield of 10,000 catties of grain per mu, the grain from that county will not be given to them in vain. Only when they hurry to harvest the ripe rice that they have grown themselves, and what they harvest is the grain or money they can distribute.

On the day that Yiyi's brigade had harvested the rice and handed over the grain, they learned a news that shocked and surprised them.

A production brigade under the Red Star Commune next door to their Hongqi Commune did not pay the grain, and almost finished eating the grain in their brigade's warehouse.

After learning that there was a situation in which 10,000 catties of grain per mu appeared, this brigade began to let go of its own food, did not control the amount of food it ate, and ate a round belly every day.

Moreover, they do not harvest rice when the rice is grown well enough to be harvested. It is said that they plan to wait for those places with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu to send them back sales, and they think that it will be good to buy grain when the time comes.

They felt that since the grain output in some places had reached 10,000 catties per mu, there was no need for them to work hard anymore when they could not catch up with them in 180 mu of exhaustion.

That's it, and it didn't take long for them to run out of food in the production brigade. This was only discovered when their commune sent people to find out why they hadn't paid their rations.

By the time the commune people arrived at the brigade, the rice in the fields had already matured and fallen into the soil, and there was no way to eat them. There was not much food left in the granary, and the entire brigade of people was either lying at home or chatting at the door, in short, they didn't work.

When the news reached Yiyi's brigade, everyone was shocked. After all, it has only been less than a month since the last batch of grain was harvested, and it is said that the last batch of grain that was supposed to be handed over together after the rice harvest this time was eaten was eaten.

And it's a real sin to let the grain rot in the ground without harvesting it.

Most of them have been farmers for generations, and they have known since they were young that food is not easy to come by, and every grain they usually eat is planted by them with hard work in the sun and rain.

Usually, if any child in the family picks his mouth or wastes food, he will be beaten. However, there are few families with surplus food for their children to waste, most of them are just in a state of food and clothing, and it is good to have enough food at home, and there will be no waste at all.

Some of the older generation in the brigade who had experienced wars and disasters were even more reluctant to go over and break the legs of the people in that brigade.

However, the popularity of this topic about this brigade lasted for a while in the first brigade, but it was soon occupied by the east and west and then forgotten.

After all, although the place where this happened was close to them, it was still some distance away, and this incident did not affect them much.
