From childhood to adulthood, Lin Xi not only looks better than her, but also studies better than her, and even has several brothers who love her and protect her, and let her do all the good things.

After envy, Lin Xu's eyes were full of unwillingness.

So when she got out of the car, she went straight home without saying thank you.

"The third uncle's family, this Lin Xu, is going back more and more."

As soon as Lin Jianjun's words fell, he heard someone behind him calling him.

"Fourth, you came back just in time, the team has distributed food, and your team's car is behind, hurry up and ask Uncle Lin and them to come out to carry food."

Li Zhicheng and his father drove the carriage, and greeted him from afar.

Xinsheng Village is not a small village, and there are three production teams, namely the first, second and third teams. Each team has about 40 households, which are managed by their respective production team leaders.

Each production captain will have a team leader above them.

The Lin family and the Li family are not in the same brigade, so there are special people in charge of distributing food.

"Yo, my little sister is back, how about studying in the city? Tired or not? The carriage approached, and Li Zhicheng greeted Lin Xi with a smile.

Lin Xi smiled and shouted, "Uncle, Brother Dacheng." ”

"When you are admitted to college, don't forget your brother Dacheng, I still took you to play when you were a child, eh."

Li Zhicheng was slightly knocked on the head by his father with a whip: "Don't be fooled, it's important to get down to business." ”

Li Zhicheng smiled and went with his father to unload food for other people's homes.

When the brother and sister entered the house, Lin Jianjun hurriedly asked Lin Youfa and Lin Jianguo to go out to unload food.

Lin Xi put down his schoolbag and went out with Fan Xiumei to watch the excitement.

Working in the village all year round, this is what I hope for.

Although the work will be liquidated at the end of the year, most of them will not receive any money, and after deducting the rations eaten by the production team, they will still owe money.

Pressing it year by year, it has long become an old account, and everyone is numb.

But the distribution of food is different, this is real, and it is related to the livelihood of the whole family in the coming year, but the most important thing is to prevent the people on the team from missing two pounds and two.

There is little land in Xinsheng Village, and the food distributed is calculated according to labor.

Labor is a man who has reached the age of eighteen, and no one else is counted.

There has been no rain in the period before the beginning of autumn this year, which has affected the output, so the grain allocated to each laborer this year is only 180 catties.

Such a small amount of food is simply not enough for a family with a large population and few laborers.

However, it is not completely impossible, if you don't have money, you can take credit with people who have a lot of food, two cents per pound of grain, and a discount of two cents and five cents at the end of the year.

Fortunately, the Lin family has a lot of labor, although Lin Jianjun and Lin Jianye were not in the production team later, but they also worked for more than half a year, and each person in the team deducted 20 catties, and the others were distributed normally.

Six people, a total of 1,040 catties of grain, in addition to corn, there is also a bag of millet and ten catties of soybeans.

The father and son went back and forth twice, and then they collected all the food into the house.

Lin Youfa: "After dinner in a while, your brother will take a bag and send it to your third uncle's house." ”

Lin Youxiang's family has a large population, and he is the only laborer, so there is definitely not enough food to eat. Mrs. Lin is in their home again, so no matter how difficult the conditions were before, Lin Youfa has never broken this bag of grain for so many years.

Dinner Fan Xiumei has already been prepared, pasted corn tortillas, and potatoes stewed with dried beans in summer.

The family was eating, and Fan Xiumei raised her head: "Xiaoxi is going to the tuition brain, the boss will go to the commune tomorrow to cut two catties of meat, and come back to wrap dumplings with sauerkraut and meat for her." ”

Lin Jianguo nodded hurriedly.

Lin Jiandang: "Mom, it's just idle and there's nothing to do, or I'll go." ”

Eight cents for a pound of meat, six for two pounds, and his mother will definitely give two dollars, so that the remaining four cents are his.

Lin Youfa: "There is not much white noodles at home, so let's keep it for 30 nights to make dumplings, buy some meat and stew some sauerkraut or potatoes." ”

The team gives a certain amount of white noodles to each family every year, and it will not exceed ten catties, so everyone is very concerned about what they eat.

The family was talking, and Mrs. Lin and Lin Youxiang suddenly pushed the door in.

"Mom, third brother, have you eaten? I didn't eat it, so I just ate something here. Fan Xiumei said that she asked Lin Xi to add dishes and chopsticks, but Lin Xiangxiang refused.

"Second sister-in-law, you eat yours. Leave us alone. ”

Although Mrs. Lin still pulled her face, it was rare that she didn't stab Fan Xiumei twice, and went straight to the kang and sat down.

After the family ate, the brothers and sisters cleaned up the table, and Lin Youxiang made it clear what he meant.

"Second brother, I went to my eldest brother's house two days ago, don't look at their family to eat and supply food, but the whole family depends on the eldest brother's salary alone, and life is tight."

Lin Youfa rolled a cigarette, the fireworks were all drawn, and when he saw Fan Xiumei standing in the distance, he threw the match on the ground again.

Lin Youxiang: "I'll go back and discuss with my mother, after all, they are all brothers, this is not a food, it is better for the two families to get together and give the eldest brother's family a hundred catties of food to send over." ”

Lin Youfa was silent.

Although the family has a lot of food, the population is also large, except for the 100 catties given to Lin Youxiang's family, there are only 900 catties left.

Now Lin Xi lives in Liu's house, and he can't eat and live for nothing, so Lin Youfa discussed with Fan Xiumei and sent a hundred catties to their family.

In this way, there are only 800 catties left in the family.

If you take out another fifty catties, there will only be more than seven hundred catties left.

A family of eight, Lin Jianguo got married at the end of the year, and the other party brought another child, which is equivalent to two more at once. Even if you tighten your belt, this little food will definitely not be enough.

Lin Jianjun interjected with a smile: "Third uncle, after all, my uncle earns cash from his salary, and his salary is forty-five a month. Besides, it is more convenient to buy things in the city than us, and the rice is 4.5 cents a catty, which is indeed a little expensive. But bud rice is cheap, only 2 cents a catty, the eldest sister and the second sister are married, it stands to reason that the most difficult time has passed, I guess the uncle is just complaining. Besides, the third uncle, your family has a total of 180 pounds, it should be worse than the uncle's family, right? ”

He felt that Lin Youxiang couldn't cry even on his own grave, and he still had the leisure to cry and die.

Wu Meili: "You kid, my family's little food is not enough to eat, why can I take it out again." It's not that your family has a lot of food, so come and discuss. It's only a hundred pounds left and right, not much, and it's up to your family. ”

Lin Jiancheng: "Third Uncle Bertto, you came here?" ”

What he asked contained several meanings, if you want food, Lin Youzhong can come forward by himself, since Lin Youxiang doesn't come out with anything, there is no need to cross a bar in the middle.

Besides, let their family give out all the food, and the other part is borrowed by Lin Youxiang or is it just that?

Mrs. Lin drooped her eyelids: "I'm in charge of this matter today, this hundred catties of grain is out of your family, and the bicycles are bought, and it's not bad for this bit of food, and it's not someone else, it's your eldest brother." He is well, and there is light on your faces. ”
