Chapter 214: Paying the Grain

In the past, when everyone was in the centimeter system, because of cultivation and various reasons, the yield was not high, and after paying the public grain, there was not much left, so it could only be mixed with sweet potatoes and dried wild vegetables to boil until the autumn harvest.

But now that the land has been divided into households, the situation is very different, and everyone takes care of the common land and takes care of their own land, which is not the same attitude at all.

As far as the harvest after this reform is concerned, the average yield per mu of the public ownership system is 180 catties, and the average yield per mu of the public ownership system can reach about 230 catties.

For a time, the villagers who had tasted the sweetness of dividing the fields into households were even more enthusiastic about their work, and the group of publicly-owned villagers who were watching began to clamoring to divide the fields.

After Mu Xiu received the notice to hand over the grain, he and Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart in the early morning of the next day to pull the harvested wheat to the grain recycling station to hand over the grain.

The place where the grain is handed over is basically in the town, and many nearby villages will come over, because the process is more complicated and time-consuming, it is necessary to queue, inspect, grade, dry, remove slag, and return to the warehouse.

Therefore, most people are in the early hours of the morning, when the sky is not bright, some families are wearing donkey carts, some are driving ox carts, and some are pulling rack carts to the grain station.

The scorching sun baked the earth, and under the eaves, there were villagers from Shili Eight Villages, who were sweating profusely and waiting to hand over the public grain, everyone holding straw hats in their hands and fanning the wind.

All the staff of the grain station are all on the battlefield, and in the grain station, slogans such as "happy to make patriotic food" are written on the walls of the conspicuous position in red letters on a white background.

In this kind of weather, standing under the eaves is no different from standing under the sun, although this year's harvest is good, but everyone is listless in the scorching sun at this moment, drooping faces, just hoping that it will be their turn quickly.

Chen Xuhui went to get a receipt, and then waited in line.

"You can't do this food, it's not dried well, and then pull it back to dry it for two or three days." A white and chubby staff member took a long poke in his hand, stood on the shelf car, and very skillfully plunged into the grain bag and poured it with his hand, and the wheat was in the palm of his hand, and he was very impatient at this time to say to the person in front of him.

That person looks like the kind of person who is honest, he can't say good things, and the people who come to hand over the food will say good things when they see the staff, accompanied by a smiling face, or stuff a cigarette, just because they are afraid that the staff will pick their own food problems, and then let them pull back, after all, it is not easy to be in a hot day, and the cadres of the brigade urged and urged, and everyone rushed to the food station and the distance was not close.

"My grain is really dry, I don't believe you can take a look at it!" The man hurriedly pulled the wheat from the bag with his hands, anxious to prove that his wheat was fine.

"Go and go, don't waste time here, I said it's not good, it's not good, hurry up, next." The staff member picked up a few and threw them in his mouth, bit them, and waved them impatiently.

The grain looked dry and plump, and it was obviously well sunburned.

In the crowd, everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak, for fear that the staff would also embarrass themselves, so the man could only tie up the food bag, put it on the flatbed, push it up slowly, and prepare to go home in frustration.

The quality of the grain depends on the staff to assess, and the public grain handed over will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on, the good grain should be handed over according to the number of catties, and the grain quality is poor, and more should be paid.

Mu Xiu really couldn't stand it, obviously the food was okay, but the staff was deliberately embarrassed, so she went around in a circle, ran over, and said a few words to the man, the man first looked surprised, and then nodded hesitantly.

After a while, the man's son turned the grain bag over, turned the poke hole down, and then lined up again.

By the time Mu Xiu saw them again, they had already billed the weigh.

It turned out that Mu Xiu asked them to buy a pack of cigarettes, and a different family member lined up to hand over the cigarettes, and this method really worked.

In the place where the grain station was weighed, the staff of the grain station was holding the cigarette from the front door with vigor, while pulling the abacus, a wooden chair sat next to the scale, and a large oilcloth sun umbrella stood next to the chair.

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you squeezing, line up, line up, line up." The staff shouted and wiped their sweat, if it weren't for the oil and water in this job, who would want to stay here on such a hot day!

At this time, it was Mu Xiu's turn to weigh the grain, and it was almost noon since he came out in the early morning, and Mu Xiu was a little irritable.

After moving, Chen Xuhui didn't have time to wipe his sweat, so he handed the staff cigarettes first, and the staff took the account book on the scale of the cigarette house while playing haha, and then skillfully took out the wheat and squeaked and bited.

"Okay, okay, first-class food, let's move down." The staff spit out the bitten millet towards the lower side of the scale, and said to Chen Xuhui.

Chen Xuhui and Mu Xiu moved the bags to the granary again, the entrance of the granary was at both ends, and they had to go up the steps five or six meters high.

The staff issued the receipt, Mu Xiu carefully put it away, tossed for most of the day, and finally completed the task and could leave the grain station.

"Brother Chen, let's go back quickly." Mu Xiu had no appetite at all when he was sunburned, he only felt thirsty.

"Okay." Chen Xuhui drove back in an ox cart.

Along the way, Chen Xuhui wanted to speak and stopped, Mu Xiu seemed to see through Chen Xuhui's thoughts, she sighed and said, "Brother Chen, I know that we are not right, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves, who makes us speak softly." ”

"Then why don't you tell them the leader and let the leader punish them." Chen Xuhui said sullenly.

"When they do this, the top leaders may not know, but if they dare to do this, then they must not be afraid." Mu Xiu sighed and said.

At present, like this state-owned grain station grain factory, all of them are public, and all the people in them are iron rice bowls, like this kind of hard work, there is no benefit, who wants to do it, so the small actions of these people below, as long as they are not too excessive, the leaders are turning a blind eye.

It is precisely because of this that under the wave of reform in the back, the first to bear the brunt of the closure were these factories that were crowded into the public meal.
