At night, Li Yue'e lay on the kang and said to Lu Qing'an: "The third child's family doesn't know what the situation is. The third child just said that."
I can still send money, and I'm afraid the situation at home isn't serious.
In this way, Li Yuee was a little worried again, fearing that her in-laws would dislike her son for being from the countryside.
"What did the third child tell you back then?" Lu Qing'an also muttered in his heart.
"Let's just say that her father is a university teacher, her mother works in a food factory, and her uncle is a division commander in the Guangxi Provincial Army. There is something going on at home, but it is not serious, and the marriage will not affect the third child." Li Yue'e said.
"That's all? Nothing else?"
"No." Li Yue'e shook her head.
"Why didn't you ask more clearly then?" Lu Qing'an sounded a little anxious.
Li Yue'e got angry and scolded: "Didn't I tell you then? Why didn't you ask yourself when the third child was here?"
This bad old man knows how to be in a hurry with her, and he doesn't even dare to let out a fart in front of the third child.
Lu Changzheng had been away from home for many years, and he was a soldier fighting on the front line. He actually had a lot of blood evil energy in his body. In addition, he has had ideas since he was a child, and the couple can't actually be his boss. Everything about him has to be discussed with him, and he only nodded in agreement.
Although they are parents, sometimes they are a little afraid of Lu Long March.
Being scolded by Li Yue'e, Lu Qing'an turned off the fire in an instant, and said after a while: "The third child didn't say anything because he didn't want us to think too much. In this case, we just pretend that we don't know how to live. She is also filial, and we will treat her differently in the future. Just be nice."
Li Yue'e rolled her eyes, "You don't need to tell me."
After getting along with each other for more than half a month, Li Yue'e's affection for Su Mo can be said to be growing day by day.
"I was given a big basket of pears and vegetables yesterday, but I refused to accept the payment. Tomorrow the brigade will distribute the food. We will give some of our food to the third family, which will save her money to buy." Li Yue'e said.
Lu Qingan waved his hand, "Just look at the arrangements."
"Also, after dividing the meat, we will also give some to people. She can't be the one bringing food every time."
"Okay." Lu Qingan had no objection.
*******
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 overjoyed, because after two days of intensive calculation by the brigade cadres, the net work points of their brigade were finally calculated, and today was the day for them to share their food and money.
After breakfast early, everyone gathered at Shaiguping at the brigade headquarters, carrying sacks, baskets and carts.
Su Mo also went after breakfast. Unlike others who came with a bunch of tools, her hands were empty.
She tried to recall, and it seemed that she only had 71 work points. For this work point, don't think about how many food points you can get. She went over to count them first, and when everyone had almost divided them, she went back and rode her bicycle to the brigade to buy food.
The members waiting on Shaiguping were all guessing how much this year's work points would be worth. Last year it was eight cents per work point, but this year it was somehow more than last year.
Most people were guessing 1 cent or 10 cents, and boldly guessed 10 cents or 20 cents.
But more people think that an increase of 10 cents or 3 cents at most is already great.
In their brigade, the member with the highest work point this year is 2,100 work points. If one work point is increased by three cents, it is equivalent to an extra 63 yuan a year. That is two months' salary for most workers.
After representatives from each household arrived, Lu Qing'an and Lu Baoguo took turns to take turns on the stage and delivered some exciting speeches. They were nothing more than thanking the motherland and the party, and then encouraged the members below, causing thunderous applause from below.
Finally, accountant Lu Xingjun came on stage to announce the net value of this year's work points. When they heard that the net work points for this year were 12 cents, the crowd below became excited.
After everyone was busy for a while, the captain announced that the food distribution would begin.
The brigade cadres have already set up tables and scales at the entrance of the warehouse, and the packaging staff have been waiting in the warehouse for a long time. The members of the commune were also waiting aside. When called to their homes, they would go in to check with the accountant, then go into the warehouse to load grain, and then divide the money.
The ration levels in rural areas of Qingxi County are divided into five levels according to the level of labor force.
The prime-age male labor force eats first-class grain, which is 600 kilograms per year; the prime-age female labor force eats second-class grain, which is 500 kilograms per year; the third-class labor force and children aged 8 to 12 years old eat third-class grain, which is 420 kilograms per year; those aged 3 to 7 years old A child under the age of two eats fourth-grade grain, which weighs 300 kilograms per year; a child under two years old eats fifth-grade grain, which weighs 180 kilograms per year.
The Lujiacun brigade allocates food according to the principle of "people work seven times and work three times", that is, the head food accounts for 70%, and the work share accounts for 30%, except for children.
Taking first-class grain as an example, of the 600 kilograms of grain, 70% of it is per capita grain, which can be divided into 420 kilograms. The rest must be divided according to work points. Every ten work points can be divided into one more kilogram of grain. If there are 1,900 work points this year and the work points are divided into 190 kilograms of grain, then this year you can get 610 kilograms of grain.
Of course, the grain distribution cannot be all fine grains, but should be divided according to the principle of three, four, and three. That is, wheat/rice and other fine grains account for 30%, corns account for 40%, and sweet potatoes account for 30%.
Taking first-class grain as an example, wheat/rice can be divided into 180 kilograms, corn can be divided into 240 kilograms, and sweet potatoes can be divided into 180 kilograms.
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 called Su Mo over to help.
Lu Qing'an is the branch secretary, and the one with the highest work points in the brigade will be paid equally, with 2,100 work points, and Li Yue'e has 1,560 work points. As a couple, one eats first-class food and the other eats second-class food. Lu Boming is an old man. He is counted as a third-class labor force and eats third-class food.
Lu Qing'an has 420 kilograms of grain for the population and 210 kilograms of grain for the workers, for a total of 630 kilograms of grain.
Li Yue'e has 350 kilograms of grain for the population and 156 kilograms of grain for the workers, making a total of 506 kilograms of grain.
Lu Boxing, the population has 294 kilograms of grain, and the workers are divided into 294 kilograms of grain.
A family of three can share a total of 1,430 kilograms of grain. According to the principle of three, four, three, it can be divided into 429 jins of fine grains (wheat/rice), 572 jins of corns, and 429 jins of sweet potatoes.
"Which one do you like to eat more, white flour or rice from the third family?" Li Yue'e asked Su Mo.
"Ah? I can do it all, I don't have to choose." Su Mo was a little confused.
"For fine grains, 100 kilograms of rice is required, and the rest is wheat." Li Yue'e said to the team leader in charge of packaging, and then handed him all the sacks she had brought.
Soon, the packers inside packed the corresponding grains, carried them out, and weighed them one by one on the scale at the door.
After confirming that the amount of food is correct, it’s time to divide the money.
Li Yuee and his wife have a total of 3,660 work points. This year, each labor force will be assigned 32 days of voluntary work, which means each person will be deducted 320 work points. Only the remaining work points will be counted as money.
After apportioning the voluntary labor, the couple had 3,020 remaining wages. The net value of work points is 12 cents, worth 362.4 yuan.
But this money must be deducted from the money for food and meat distribution. Only the remaining money can be distributed to individuals.
Grain is calculated according to the national purchase price. Wheat is 0.13 yuan per catty, 329 catties is 42.77 yuan; rice is 0.095 yuan per catty, 100 catties is 9.5 yuan; corn is five cents per catty, 572 catties is 28.6 yuan; sweet potatoes Two and a half pounds, 429 pounds is 10.73 yuan.
The total food money was 91.6 yuan.
Then it was time to divide the meat. The meat distribution standard was that for every 500 work points, one kilogram of meat could be divided. The work points of Li Yue'e and his wife could be divided into more than seven kilograms. Li Yue'e directly asked for eight kilograms, 3 kilograms of pork suet, and five kilograms of meat.
The price of meat is the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperative, lard oil is 1.2 yuan/catty, meat is 0.8 yuan/catty, and the total price of meat is 7.6 yuan.
The brigade will also distribute 2 pounds of cotton to each household, with a total of 2.3 yuan in cotton money.
Oil is also allocated at about three taels per person. Lu Qing'an's family of three has one kilogram of oil a month, 12 kilograms of oil a year, peanut oil is 0.9 yuan/jin, and the total cost of oil is 10.8 yuan.
In addition to these, Li Yue'e also asked the brigade for 20 pounds of soybeans and 20 pounds of mung beans, which cost 3.34 yuan for soybeans and 4 yuan for mung beans, a total of 7.34 yuan.
All these things add up to a total of 119.64 yuan.
The Lu family had no debt from the brigade before, so the money finally distributed to Li Yuee was 242.76 yuan. Li Yue'e almost smiled crookedly.
The reason why I can get so much money is because the work points are valuable this year, which has increased by almost 50% compared to previous years. The second is a family of three, two strong working men. Lu Qing'an still calculated based on the highest work points. Li Yue'e was also very capable and almost always received seven or eight work points every day.
There is a lot of labor and there is no burden, so the money will naturally be distributed.
For example, those with a small labor force and many children do not have so much money. Some families may not have enough money to pay back their debts from the brigade in previous years.
After receiving the money, Li Yue'e pulled a cart and asked the young men on the side to help carry the grain to the cart. After calling the two young men, she started to go back.
Su Mo went to help, but Li Yue'e waved her hand and asked her to wait here, saying that she would be here soon.
