At night, Li Yue'e lay on the kang and said to Lu Qing'an: "The third child's family, I don't know what the situation is, and the third child said that at the beginning. ”

You can also send money, and the situation at home is not serious.

In this way, Li Yue'e was a little worried, afraid that her in-laws would dislike his son for being from the countryside.

"What did the third child tell you at the beginning?" Lu Qingan also muttered in his heart.

"Let's just say that her father is a university teacher, her mother is a food factory, and there is an uncle who is a division commander in the Gui Provincial Army. Something happened at home, but it was not big, and marriage would not affect the third child. Li Yue'e said.

"That's all? Didn't say anything else? ”

"Nope." Li Yue'e shook her head.

"Why didn't you ask clearly?" Lu Qingan's tone was a little anxious.

Li Yue'e was angry and reprimanded: "Didn't I tell you at the time, when the third child was here, why didn't you ask yourself?" ”

This bad old man knows that he is in a hurry with her, and he doesn't dare to let a fart in front of the third child.

Lu Changzheng has been away from home for many years, and he is a soldier fighting on the front line, and his blood is actually quite heavy. In addition, he has had ideas since he was a child, and the husband and wife can't actually be his masters, and his affairs have to be discussed with him, so he nodded and agreed.

Although they are parents, sometimes, they are also a little scared.

was reprimanded by Li Yue, Lu Qingan instantly turned off the fire, and only said after a while: "The third child didn't say it, because he didn't want us to think about it." In this case, we should not know how to live our lives. She is also a filial person, and we will be kind to people in the future. ”

Li Yue'e rolled her eyes, "I still need to say it." ”

After getting along for more than half a month, Li Yue'e's good impression of Su Mo is increasing day by day.

"People gave a big basket of pears and vegetables yesterday, but they refused to accept the money. Tomorrow the brigade will distribute the grain, and our grain will be given to the third family, and she will buy it from the province. Li Yue'e said.

Lu Qingan waved his hand, "Just look at the arrangement." ”

"Also, after dividing the meat, we will also give some to others. She can't just take the food every time. ”

"Okay." Lu Qingan has no opinion.

*******

On October 17, 1971, early in the morning, the radio station of the Lujiacun Brigade began to play red songs.

The members of the entire brigade were beaming, because after two days of intensive accounting by the cadres of the brigade, the net value of their brigade's work was finally calculated, and today was the day when they shared their food and money.

After breakfast early, everyone took sacks, baskets, and carts to gather at the sunning area of the brigade headquarters.

Su Mo also went after breakfast, unlike others who held a bunch of tools, she was empty-handed.

She tried to recall that she seemed to have only 71 hours. This work, don't think about how much food she can have, she will go over and order it first, and when everyone is almost divided, she will go back and ride a bicycle to buy food.

The members waiting on the sun-grain flat are speculating about how much this year's work is worth, last year it was eight cents a penny, and this year it is more than last year.

Most people are guessing whether it is a dime or a dime, and boldly guessing a dime and two.

But more people think that at most, a dime and a penny increase, which is already very remarkable.

In their brigade, the highest number of employees this year is 2,100 points, and if a score rises by three cents, it is equivalent to 63 yuan a year, which is two months' wages for most workers.

After the representatives of each household arrived, Lu Qingan and Lu Baoguo took turns on the stage to say some exciting words, which was nothing more than thanking the motherland and the party, and then inspired the following members, which caused thunderous applause below.

In the end, it was only when the accountant Lu Xingjun came to the stage to announce the net value of this year's work. When they heard that the net value of this year's work was one and a dime, the crowd below was boiling.

After everyone was lively for a while, the captain announced the start of food distribution.

The cadres of the brigade had already set up tables and scales at the door of the warehouse, and the packers had already been waiting in the warehouse. The members of the club were also waiting, and when they were called to their homes, they went in to check with the accountant, and then went into the warehouse to load the grain, and then divided the money.

The ration level in the rural areas of Qingxi County is divided into five levels according to the level of labor.

Middle-aged male laborers, eating first-class grain, 600 catties per year; Female laborers in the prime of life, eat second-class grain, 500 catties per year; Third-class labor force and children aged 8~12 years old, eat third-class grain, 420 kg per year; Children aged 3~7 years old eat fourth-class food, 300 catties per year; Children under the age of two eat fifth-class food, 180 catties per year.

The Lujiacun Brigade distributes grain according to the principle of "seven labors and three labors", that is, 70 percent of the head of the grain and 30 percent of the labor grain, except for children.

Taking first-class grain as an example, the 600 catties of grain, the head grain accounts for 70%, and it can be divided into 420 catties. The rest will be divided by the work, and for every ten work, you can get an extra pound of grain. If there are 1,900 pounds of grain this year, and 190 catties of grain can be divided, then 610 catties of grain can be distributed this year.

Of course, it is not possible to divide the grain in all parts, but according to the principle of three, four, three. That is, wheat/rice and other fine grains account for 30%, bud grains account for 40%, and sweet potatoes account for 30%.

Taking first-class grain as an example, wheat/rice can be divided into 180 catties, bud grain can be divided into 240 catties, and sweet potatoes can be divided into 180 catties.

Of course, some families with a large population and a small labor force can negotiate with the brigade to replace all fine grains with coarse grains of equal value.

Soon, Lu Qing'an's name was called, and Li Yue'e beckoned Su Mo to come over to help.

Lu Qingan is the branch secretary, and the highest score of the brigade is equally settled, with 2,100 points, and Li Yue'e has 1,560 points. Lu Boming is an old man, calculated according to the third-class labor force, and eats third-class grain.

Lu Qing'an, the population has 420 catties of grain, 210 catties of workers' grain, and a total of 630 catties of grain.

Li Yue'e, the population has 350 catties of grain, and the labor grain has 156 catties, with a total of 506 catties of grain.

Lu Boming, the population has 294 catties of grain, and there is no work to distribute grain, a total of 294 catties of grain.

A family of three combined, a total of 1,430 catties of grain. According to the principle of three, four, three, it can be divided into 429 kg of fine grain (wheat/rice), 572 kg of bud grain, and 429 kg of sweet potato.

"The third family, white flour and rice, which one do you like to eat?" Li Yue'e asked Su Mo.

"Huh? I can do it, don't pick. Su Mo was a little inexplicable.

"Fine grain, rice costs 100 catties, and the rest is given to wheat." Li Yue'e said to the squad leader in charge of packaging, and then handed him all the sacks she had brought.

Soon, the packers inside packed the corresponding grain and carried it out and weighed it one by one on the scale at the door.

After confirming that the amount of grain is correct, it is time to divide the money.

Li Yue'e and her husband have a total of 3660 points. This year, each labor force will be assessed for 32 days of voluntary work, that is, 320 points will be minus 320 points per person. The rest of the work can be counted as money.

After the volunteer work was apportioned, the husband and wife had 3,020 remaining work points. The net value of the work is one cent and two, and the value is 362.4 yuan.

However, this money has to be subtracted from the money for food and meat, and the surplus can only be distributed to individuals.

Grain is calculated according to the purchase price of the state, wheat is 0.13 yuan a catty, 329 catties is 42.77 yuan, rice is 0.095 yuan a catty, 100 catties is 9.5 yuan, bud grain is five cents a catty, 572 catties is 28.6 yuan, sweet potato is 251 catties, 429 catties is 10.73 yuan.

The food money totaled 91.6 yuan.

Then there is the division of meat, the distribution standard of meat is every 500 points, you can divide one pound of meat, Li Yue'e and her husband can be divided into more than seven pounds, Li Yue'e directly asked for eight catties, 3 catties of lard, five catties of meat.

According to the same price of meat supply and marketing cooperatives, pork fat is 1.2 yuan/jin, meat is 0.8 yuan/jin, and the meat money is 7.6 yuan.

The brigade will also distribute 2 catties of cotton to each household, with a total of 2.3 yuan in cotton money.

Oil is also configured according to about three taels per person, Lu Qing'an's family of three, one pound of oil a month, 12 pounds of oil a year, 0.9 yuan per kilogram of peanut oil, and a total of 10.8 yuan for oil.

In addition to these, Li Yue'e asked the brigade for 20 catties of soybeans, 20 catties of mung beans, 3.34 yuan for soybeans, and 4 yuan for mung beans, a total of 7.34 yuan.

All of these things add up to a total of 119.64 yuan.

The Lu family didn't owe money in the brigade before, so the money that was finally distributed to Li Yue'e was 242.76 yuan. Li Yue'e almost didn't smile and crooked her mouth.

One of the reasons why I can get so much money is because the value of this year's work has increased by almost 50% compared to previous years. The second is a family of three, and two strong laborers. Lu Qingan is still calculated according to the highest work score, and Li Yue'e is also capable, almost taking seven or eight points every day.

If there is more labor and there is no drag, the more money will naturally be shared.

For example, some people who have less labor and more children will not have so much money. Some families, after paying off the arrears in the brigade in previous years, may not have the money to share.

After receiving the money, Li Yue'e pulled the cart and asked the young men on the side to help carry the food to the car, and called the two young men to come back.

Su Mo wanted to help, but Li Yue'e waved her hand and asked her to wait here, saying that it was estimated that she would arrive soon.
