Chapter 46

Qingxi Brigade is located in the deep mountains, and the only source of water is the small river that is less than five meters wide and is the deepest.

With such geographical conditions, it is naturally impossible to cultivate paddy fields and cannot plant rice.

Nowadays, the more than 300 acres of farmland and the more than 100 acres of wasteland in the village are all dry land. The crops harvested from autumn are corn, sorghum, soybeans, millet, and sweet potatoes.

Nowadays, the production team will pay enough food to the country and keep enough collective food to the public. The remaining food will be distributed according to the principle of "seven people and three people".

The so-called "seven people work three times" means that the basic food is 70% and the labor and food is 30%.

Basic rations are based on the head and according to the policy regulations, the basic rations can be distributed as soon as they are implemented.

At this time, there is a saying about the distribution of rations, which is called "Is it enough, 360 or not".

But in fact, not everyone can get so much food, 36 is the standard for adults.

Each brigade varies according to actual conditions. Qingxi brigade is divided by age, from eight to fourteen years old, 80% of adults, 60% of adults aged eight to three, and half of adults aged three.

Of course, the food rations in this regulation are not standard food, but gross food, or it can be said that it is not entirely food.

The so-called gross grain is sorghum, millet, rice, wheat with shells, and corn is corn kernels.

In this era, the best flour is Riqiang flour, which is basically unavailable in rural areas. It is a very good life to have a meal of black noodles (whole wheat flour). White noodles can be used to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, if you expect that "three hundred and six" are all raw grains, you will be wrong again.

Although the soil in Qingxi Brigade is still fertile, there is only so much arable land, and the grain output is limited, so the remaining amount is naturally not much.

Therefore, thankfully, half of the basic food rations are food, and the remaining half are mostly sweet potatoes and potatoes.

According to the policy, basically five kilograms of sweet potatoes are worth one kilogram of grain, and six kilograms of potatoes are worth one kilogram of grain.

Yun Shu's little abacus in her heart was squeaking. The three of them were all children. Xiaozhuang could divide it into 180 kilograms, Dazhuang was 216 kilograms, while she could divide it into 288 kilograms, which was 684 kilograms.

Of the nearly 700 kilograms of grain, at least 300 kilograms were sweet potatoes, which was 1,500 kilograms, which was enough for three children to eat.

But it’s quite fresh to make Yunshu bake a sweet potato from time to time, just eat it as a meal.

The little plan she made was to ask her grandfather to come forward and exchange it with the families who had a lot of labor but not much labor.

There is no family planning these days. There are two or three fewer households, about four or five more, and seven or eight more are nothing. Yunshu's second uncle who was separated in his room in his previous life. Her mother gave birth to twelve children, even Yunshu's grandmother, and also had six children.

At that time, every family had no oil and water. Just seeing that after half a year, those who could support all these children were capable parents.

Because there are many children, these five pounds of sweet potatoes worth one pound of grain become good things, so naturally people want to change them.

Yun Shudong thought about it, and by chance, he saw the old lady of the Wang family and Wang Tiezhu family in the crowd. Even Xiaowen was held in Xia Zhaodi and brought over. Now the open space is full of boiling, and she is not afraid of scaring the child.

but……

Yunshu's eyes rolled and he walked back with Dazhuang and Haichuan.

"Sister, I'll share the food soon!"

Maybe he was afraid of being hungry. Although he had been kept by Yunshu for almost two months, Dazhuang was still very persistent in pursuing food. Now he saw Yunshu not going forward but retreating, so he was a little anxious.

Yun Shu glanced at Dazhuang and looked at Haichuan. At average age, Haichuan from Wang Ye’s family was obviously more calm. I have to say that the words of parents being the first teacher of their children are definitely the truth.

But who said that the one who couldn't hold back his anger was her younger brother! Yun Shu was not disappointed. After all, a normal child like Dazhuang seemed to have a reaction. Whether it was her or Haichuan, they seemed out of place with ordinary children.

"Anyway, it's not our turn for a while. Why not go home to get a heater and a water cup and pour some water for your uncle Yongqing and others. Let's get a small stool and sit by your side, it won't be a problem."

When Da Zhuang and Haichuan heard this, they naturally had no disagreement.

The little stools at home are made by Yunshu himself. Except for the middle and the scroll needs to be explained, the other materials are simple. The wood used is picked out from the firewood stack at home, and the ones are covered with hemp ropes. Yunshu's skillful hands wove the hemp ropes finely, which is also beautiful.

Dazhuang and Haichuan each took two horse stools. Yunshu held a kettle in his left hand, put a troubling of tea leaves in it, and a bamboo basket in his right hand, which contained four or five large thick porcelain bowls.

These days, it is not easy to buy such bowls. These bowls were brought by Uncle Jianye last time, but they were kept in vain. The wooden bowls that Yunshu took out from the space at home were still used by the wooden bowls that Yunshu took out from the space.

When the three of them returned to the brigade, the distribution of grain had already begun. When the queue was at one of their houses, the accountant and cashier turned the account book to which page, and then read the basic food, the grain carried, and the one who was in charge of the big scale would weigh out how many kilograms of grain. Even if it was not bad, it was less than two taels. After all, so many eyes were staring at them.

Everyone was staring at the food, and when Yunshu and Dazhuang and Haichuan walked in front of him, they were discovered.

Dazhuang and Haichuan were a little uncomfortable with being stared at by so many eyes, but Yun Shu was not afraid. She smiled at her grandfather and the village party secretary who were confused, and her little white teeth could reflect under the sun.

"This food distribution will not be finished for a while. I saw that my grandfather and several uncles didn't bring water, so I went home to carry the thermos."

Nowadays, there are only a handful of people in the village who have hot pots. This is a big item. Not only is it hard to buy, but it is also very expensive. It is rare to take out such a hot pot like Yunshu.

When she took out a few bowls and arranged them, everyone saw that it was still tea, and the expression on their faces became even gentler.

Village Party Secretary Zhao Yongqing smiled at the team leader Wang Dazhi and said, "Brother, this child is generous and filial. He is thinking about you, and we will benefit from it."

Wang Dazhi also felt his face shiningly, and there was a smile on his lips. He said in a rare humble manner: "Daya is indeed a good child." Then he asked Yunshu to pour water for some uncles.

Yun Shu stood beside her grandfather, while Da Zhuang and Haichuan stayed with four little horses to enter the crowd, one of which was handed directly to the old lady of the Wang family, and the remaining three were also given to those who were old or had to fight for a long time with disabilities.

Yun Shu looked at the old lady of the Wang family who had a gray face but had to hold back her anger and Xia Zhaodi, whose eyes were flashing next to her, and a smile appeared on her face.

What’s wrong if you don’t spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together? So what’s wrong if you rumored in the village?

They gave the gifts, and they were not bad at all. They treated their grandparents with their parents, their grandchildren, who had no parents, were more than Wang Tiezhu's own son.

So, who can destroy the conscience and say that they are unfilial?

Some people never know why the flowers are so red if they don’t give them some colors.
