Chapter 1065 The Joy of Dividing Food
Just when Wang Caihong was distracted, she heard the alert voice of one of the men. She subconsciously wanted to run out to find her mother. In the past, no matter what she did, her parents supported her unconditionally. They helped her to deal with any big problems. However, they couldn't handle this matter!
"Follow her and keep an eye on her! She must have gone to find Wang Caihong. I'll keep watching here!"
A man ordered another person in a low voice, followed by the sound of trotting away.
"Pah!"
The cigarette butt with sparks was thrown on the ground, only half an inch away from Wang Caihong, scaring Wang Caihong into shrinking into a ball, wishing she could turn into a mouse and hide in a hole.
Compared with Wang Caihong's embarrassment, Zheng Xinyue was secretly happy at this time, because the village distributed grain today, and every household was as happy as the New Year.
Zheng Xinyue was injured and Gu Changfeng didn't let her go to work, so she happened to participate in today's grain distribution. The lively scene was so exciting that everyone had a smile on their face.
The woman who usually talks a lot stopped chatting at this moment, and listened to Zheng Dagui's speech with her ears perked up.
Zheng Xinyue did not go to the meeting with everyone. She smiled and watched the golden pile of soybeans, with her hands behind her back and her head held high, feeling very proud.
After a short speech, Zheng Dagui got to the point and began to distribute grain in an orderly manner according to the records in the work points book.
Zheng Dashan was responsible for recording as an accountant, Zheng Dazhuang was responsible for weighing everyone, and the young and strong people in the village were responsible for packing grain for everyone. The most disorderly people in the village were now queuing up in an orderly manner with their grain bags. The division of labor was clear and the speed was fast. As long as they could get the grain, they were willing to wait a little longer.
What made everyone happy was that there were obviously not many soybeans in the fields, and they thought that each family would only get a few dozen kilograms, not more than a hundred kilograms at most.
But when they really distributed the grain, they found that after each family had fully distributed the grain according to the work points, there were still hundreds of kilograms of soybeans left on the threshing ground. They had no idea where they came from?
The villagers were all confused. They were strictly guarding against the loss of food. Where did the extra soybeans come from?
Zheng Dagui discussed with Zheng Dashan and the prestigious elders in the village and held a brief meeting for everyone.
Zheng Dagui proposed two points. First, the extra grain should be handed over to the commune! Second, it should be divided equally according to the number of people, but the responsibility is everyone's. Whoever reports it will be unlucky for the whole village!
The villagers certainly want to share the food. Compared with survival, nothing else is important. Fighting openly and secretly is meaningless. It is still the most important thing to eat enough.
So, the villagers were unprecedentedly united and chose to keep it secret.
There are a total of 20 to 30 households in the village. Each family has been given dozens of kilograms of soybeans, and everyone is so happy.
I don't know what happened to the cabbage and radish in the field? They have been growing like crazy these days, just like blowing air. In three or five days, they can be divided again.
Because cabbage is a secondary crop, the commune will not ask for all of it to be handed over, and at least half of it can be kept. In this way, if you save some, it will be enough to eat until the autumn harvest next year.
With the confidence of grain, the young men in the village, even those who are not good-looking, want to find a beautiful girl to be their wife.
Because they are awesome! The girls from the other four brigades all want to marry here. It was difficult to find a partner before, but now they can choose carefully. As long as they give 20 kilograms of corn as a gift, there will be many who rush to come.
After the grain is distributed, it is time to celebrate. In the evening, the Zheng family prepared a sumptuous dinner. Gao Guilan, who had delicious food, missed her son-in-law and said with a sad face:
"Is Changfeng angry? Why didn't he come all day?"
