Gu Yuehuai came to the village with the bell, the members had nothing to do, and they were worried about the lack of food.

Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai also came, and the two beckoned to Gu Yuehuai.

Although there is no shortage of food at home, it is necessary to advance and retreat with the members at this time, otherwise it is easy to be suspicious.

Wang Fu looked a little more energetic today, and he said: "Comrades of the club, although we have a big holiday, but the shortage of food is urgent, and the team organizes us to go up the mountain to find food!" ”

Hearing this, all the members looked at each other.

Wang Fu said again: "Of course, this is not mandatory, but there are wolves and wild boars in the mountains, it is not safe, if the team does not organize everyone, there is no way to go into the mountains, let's make a sleeve, we can also put a wild boar and rabbit, and we will not starve to death!" ”

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Branch secretary! When will the work be exchanged for food? Who's coming first? ”

This topic exploded in an instant, the food in the team was limited, and the first person to change must be the first to get it, and for a while, the members of the club looked at each other with vigilance, and everyone began to argue.

"My family is an advanced member, and the family is full of strong laborers, and the exchange of work must be close to our family first!"

"Fart! My family is still a labor pacesetter, why should I change the food for your family first? ”

"There are old and young in my family, and if you don't eat, you won't survive, the branch secretary, we are all a brigade, you can't see death and not save it! The whole family is pointing to that bit of food! ”

“……”

Gu Zhifeng looked at the fellow villagers around him, and his tiger eyes flashed with pity and sympathy.

They all experienced the famine years together, when corpses were everywhere, and it was common for them to change children and eat, and some even left their homes to make a living in distant places, and they still don't know whether they are dead or alive.

At the end of the day, these people are just trying to live.

Gu Tinghuai looked sideways at Gu Yuehuai, who had a calm face, and said in a low voice: "Nannan, you say, how will the branch secretary distribute the grain?" ”

Gu Yuehuai pursed his lips tightly and looked at Wang Fu who was standing at the top with a straight back, his spirit today was almost like two people yesterday, indicating that he already had his own thoughts in his heart and knew how to deal with this group of difficult members.

Her red lips opened slightly, and she said lightly: "Coordinate the calculation of food and distribute it equally." ”

Hearing this, Gu Tinghuai was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Equal distribution? Can the guys be willing? ”

As the saying goes, "the children of work, the children of work, the lifeblood of the members!" This is the remuneration of labor, at the end of the year, how much food can each household get depends on this, because of the lack of food, so it is not distributed according to the work, but evenly divided, who wants?

Those who have a lot of strong labor in their families earn a lot of work, and they are "surplus grain households" every year, and the equal distribution is equivalent to distributing their own grain to "grain shortage households" in disguise.

Gu Yuehuai tugged at the corners of her lips: "What if you don't want to?" If it is not evenly divided, people will starve to death. ”

In his previous life, Wang Fu also announced the decision to distribute the grain evenly when his hair was about to turn gray, and the team was indeed made a big fuss, but if this was not done, it would be a big problem for who would distribute the grain first and who would distribute it later, and it would not be possible to distribute it to anyone first.

In the famine year, in order for everyone in every family to survive, everyone finally agreed to this decision.

Gu Tinghuai sighed, his face full of amazement.

Gu Yuehuai's "guess" was quickly confirmed, and Wang Fu, who was at the top, was silent for a moment, and said: "Everyone is a big team, they have known each other since they were children, and they don't look up and look down every day, at this critical moment, should we unite and tide over the difficulties together?" Therefore, the team decided to divide the food evenly among each family! ”

When the words fell, the crowd was silent at first, and then it was completely boiling.

The members of the "surplus grain households" family immediately shouted: "Why? Why do you need an average score? My family has a lot of strong labor, and if I save these old jobs this year, if I divide the grain equally, isn't it in vain? Why do we have to do it for nothing? ”

After all, they have to borrow grain every year if they can't eat enough, but this year's lack of grain can be shared equally, so they have a big bargain, so they praised again and again: "The decision of the branch secretary is so that our entire brigade can survive, it is correct!" The commune doesn't care about us, it has its own team to manage it, we agree! ”

The crowd split into two factions and began to argue fiercely.

Wang Fu looked calm, not stumped by such a scene at all, after all, he had already thought of this result when he made this decision, and it was already better than he expected that there would be no fight now.

After arguing for a long time, Wang Fu raised his hand and rang the bell.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The bell rang in everyone's ears, and the scene fell silent in an instant.

Wang Fu knocked the cigarette pouch in his hand and sat down on the stone under the big bell.

He said: "The team has made a decision, no matter how much you object, it is useless, now in this situation, we can only ensure our lives, everything else is secondary, I hope that comrades can treat it rationally, and when the situation is better next year, they will compensate." ”

Wang Peisheng echoed on the side: "What everyone is thinking about now is not staring at the little food left in the team, what we want to think about is how to live better!" Let's rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft water, catch fish and shrimp, set rabbits and wild boars, there will never be a lack of a bite to eat, but you must know that it is not only our big labor production team that is short of food now! ”

"If we don't plan for the future, will we regret it again when the other team members have scavenged everything they can eat? When the time comes, it's too late, and when you're hungry, you'll have to eat grass roots! Gnaw on the bark! ”

"Okay, what can be said, what should be said, everything has been said, go back and pack up, put the basket on your back, and let's organize to go up the mountain!"

As soon as the two cadres in the village said this, it was a certainty.

Wang Peisheng's words obviously hit the hearts of all the members, indeed, the mountain is so big, the river is so deep, if you don't look for food, someone else will look for it, and what will be left of the production brigade for them when the time comes?

The members of the club had their own thoughts, but on this occasion, they did not continue to quarrel, and they went home to carry baskets and baskets.

Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai also went back, while Gu Yuehuai walked towards Wang Fu and asked, "Branch secretary, do you want to go up the mountain together?" Originally, there wasn't much work at the breeding place, so it would be nice to be able to find food together. ”

Wang Fuba took a puff of dry cigarettes, smiled wryly and nodded: "What I said is that at this time, if you can find more food, just find some, Xiao Gu, you go and inform the educated youth, let everyone go up the mountain together, it's difficult for the team......"

Gu Yuehuai listened to Wang Fu's long sigh, pondered for a moment, and said: "Branch secretary, I know that there is a wild jicama field on the mountain, and this is the season, let's find it before other brigades, we should be able to harvest." ”

Jicama, the root is hypertrophied, the meat is white, crisp and juicy, rich in sugar and protein, and can be eaten raw or cooked.
