Walking on the road, Xu Qian saw that many villagers in the village were carrying burdens and holding grain bags.

Perhaps carrying large and small bamboo baskets, and many people also pushing wooden carts, they all came to distribute the food.

When I came to the place where the food was distributed in the brigade, Xu Qian saw here again, the two female educated youths who wanted to come to her house last time to pick vegetables for free, Wang Mei and Liu Ruxi.

It seemed that the two of them looked haggard, their faces were tanned, and they were not as proud as they were during the summer harvest.It seems that during the period of autumn harvest, I really suffered a lot.

The two of them stood in a corner with a big bag and a bamboo basket on their backs.

Of course, they look more beautiful after all, so they don't have to be with the girls in the village.So even if they were young guys standing in the corner and going to strike up a conversation, there would be quite a few of them.

The old lady Zhou also saw it, and she snorted contemptuously, this kind of sly woman.

She despises them the most, that is, those young people don't understand these things, so they regard them as treasures.

In the village, there are quite a few women who hold the same opinion as Mrs. Zhou.Therefore, Wang Mei and Liu Ruxi didn't have a good reputation in the village.

This time after the autumn harvest, the main grains are corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans, cotton, and unhulled rice.

Corn is the staple food, 180 catties per adult.Children under the age of six are sixty catties.Each child over six years old and under 12 years old is ninety catties.

Xu Qian's share, plus that of her four children, totaled 420 catties of corn.

Sweet potatoes are miscellaneous grains and there are also many distributions. Each adult is divided into 12 catties, and children under the age of six are divided into 120 catties.Children aged six to [-] are divided into [-] catties.

The four of Xu Qian, mother and son, shared a total of 780 catties of sweet potatoes, which was more than what she harvested in her private plot.

Then there are soybeans, ten catties for adults and five catties for children.Xu Qian's family shared thirty catties.With so many soybeans taken back, we can make soybean milk for the children.

The cotton team grows less, and adults and children are the same. They are distributed according to the head, and the cotton with seeds is divided into half a catty per person.

Xu Qian's family divided a total of two and a half catties, and after removing the cottonseed, there was not much left.But it should be enough to make a thinner cotton coat for four children.

The four children of Xu Qian's family have to make two cotton padded clothes this winter, so that they can be changed and washed easily.

This kid Du Qian, when he first came to the house, he wore a tattered dress.

There were too many fleas on the clothes, so Xu Qian immediately burned them.

Du Qian was only five years old, and there was no suitable clothes for him at home, so he had to make two sets of winter clothes for him.

The same is true for the triplets in her family. This year, they will have to make two new winter clothes for them, otherwise they will have nothing to wear.

They were only a few months old last winter, and now they are over a year old. They have grown up a lot, and their clothes have to be redone.

After the cotton is distributed, the rice is distributed. The rice is 12 catties for an adult, [-] catties for children under the age of six, and [-] catties for children between the ages of six and [-].

Xu Qian plus the child, a total of [-] catties of rice.

Calculated in this way, if sweet potatoes are not counted, the rations a person gets for a year are about 270 catties.

This is definitely not enough to eat, but if you add a few hundred catties of sweet potatoes, it will be enough.

Xu Qian didn't go to work, so they had a family.There are no work points, and the only way to make up the work points is with money.

But the money was not much, so I made up 18 yuan and [-] cents.

After Xu Qian finished her work points, she went to the team leader and bought two hundred catties of rice for 22 yuan and [-] cents.

A total of 41 yuan was spent.

On the other side, Zhou Wenguo, the elder of the Zhou family, and the old lady's family also weighed out their food distribution.

They distributed a total of 150 three catties of rice. 870 catties of corn.And a thousand catties of sweet potatoes, three catties of cotton, and fifty catties of soybeans.

In addition to these, the Zhou family's big house also received money, a total of 56 yuan.

They were able to share so much money mainly because old man Zhou and Zhou Wenguo both got ten work points.Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou can also get eight work points.

The two daughters, Chunmei and Dongmei, although they don't earn many work points, they also earn some work points during the busy farming season.The work points of a family add up, which is naturally quite a lot.

Zhou Wenguo and the others were reluctant to eat up all the food.

So he sold one hundred catties of rice, three hundred catties of corn, and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes.

He didn't dare to sell the remaining 900 catties of grain, because there were still six people in the family who needed to eat.

Of course, these grains alone are definitely not enough.But with the [-] catties of sweet potatoes recovered from the private plot and the [-] catties of sweet potatoes distributed, it must be enough to eat.

Food in this era is really cheap.One hundred catties of rice was sold for 11 yuan and [-] cents.

Three hundred catties of corn were sold for 27 yuan, and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes were sold for only 15 yuan.

The money for selling grain, and the money allotted together, totaled only [-] yuan and [-] cents.

This was earned by the whole family working together.

Compared with the wages of workers, this amount of money is indeed quite different.But farmers don't need to buy food or vegetables, so the money they save is what they save.

Although workers are paid a lot, they need to buy both food and vegetables, and they need to buy everything.Therefore, the money saved is actually not much.

Compared with the boss Zhou Wenguo, the third brother Zhou Wenbing received almost the same food, but no money.

Even because of the problem of not earning enough work points, he owed the brigade five or forty cents.

Zhou Wenbing has six children in his family, and the brigade needs them, so he will be given rations for his six children.

And these rations were paid for with his work points.There are too many children, even if he gets ten work points, it won't be enough.

There was no other way, so Zhou Wenbing had to sell more than half of the food for more than 50 yuan, which was paid back to the team.

I can still save some for myself. All his family raises daughters, not only young, but also small appetite.

So even if he sold more than half of the food, plus the sweet potatoes from his family's private land, he still wouldn't be hungry.

If his family wants to really feel better, they still need to wait for his six daughters to grow up.

The whole family earns work points, even if the girl earns less, the family can still be richer.

The old Zhou family has a big family, after buying and selling grain.Other villagers in the team also bought or sold grain there.

Of course, the object of buying and selling grain is the brigade.

Otherwise, it is speculative.

When Xu Qian and the others were about to go home, they saw Liu Ruzhu, an educated youth, also buying food there.

But this time, she didn't spend as much money as last time, and she sold two hundred catties of wheat.

This time, she only bought a hundred catties of rice, and didn't buy any more. The total cost was only a dozen yuan.

Xu Qian reckoned that she didn't have much money left.When Liu Ruxuan just came here, she spent a lot of money, not worse than her.

What I eat on weekdays is basically fine grains, eggs are available every day, and I buy them in baskets.

And she often buys chicken and meat.She often bought meat, prepared dishes, and sent them to her fiancé.
