The Lujiacun brigade was not lucky this year. It was the last day to pay the public rations. The members could only wait and watch other brigades that had paid the public rations share the money to eat meat with envy.
After finally paying the public food, the members were so happy that they gathered around Shaiguping at the brigade headquarters, discussing and guessing how much this year's work points would be worth.
Seeing that there were fewer people going up the mountain, Su Mo took a day off and went up the mountain to collect firewood.
Lu Changzheng still asked Lu Guoping to collect firewood for the Su Mo family this year. But she grew vegetables in the living room and often burned the fire wall, which required a lot of firewood, so she went to the mountain to collect firewood during the holidays, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
It grows in winter, who would think there is too much firewood? If conditions permit, they will naturally be well prepared and live more comfortably in winter.
Su Mo found a place close to the mountains, and first let go to absorb a wave of energy. After the absorption was saturated, he found a chestnut tree to induce birth.
The chestnut tree, whose leaves were about to fall out, quickly grew young leaves, blossomed, and bore fruit. After a whole floor of chestnuts fell, Su Mo stopped and picked up the fallen chestnuts into the space.
Then it continues to absorb energy, promote birth, absorb energy, promote birth. With each cycle, Su Mo's superpower capacity can increase a little.
After repeating this cycle for more than ten times, Su Mo felt that the bottleneck of his supernatural power had been loosened. He sucked back the energy of the plants that had been spawned before, and successfully pushed his supernatural power to the late second stage.
Each time this ability is upgraded, it needs to be consolidated for a period of time to allow the crystal core to adapt to the energy intensity. If you continue to advance immediately after upgrading, it is very likely that the crystal core will rupture, making it difficult to upgrade your abilities in the future.
After upgrading, Su Mo quickly started to collect firewood, filling up the space while collecting firewood. When it was almost done, she picked two bundles and brought them to the place where the cart was placed.
Here, she had already placed some firewood as a cover. Seeing that there was no one around, Su Mo quickly took out a lot of firewood from the space, which was roughly enough for her busy period.
Then he moved the firewood onto the cart and started transporting it home.
Li Yue'e was a little worried when she saw that Su Mo had been gone for a long time and had not yet made a trip home. She asked the children to watch An Lele while she went up the mountain to find Su Mo.
After seeing Su Mo, Li Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief, "You kid, why are you so slow? What do you think happened to you?"
"Mom, it's nothing. I want to finish it at once and then transport it home." Su Mo responded.
After Li Yue'e helped Su Mo transport the firewood back, she went up the mountain with her. When she saw a huge pile of firewood placed there, Li Yue'e also sighed.
The third child didn’t know what his luck was, but he married a wife who could afford everything.
The two transported it twice more before they finished transporting the pile of firewood.

On November 1st, the Lujiacun brigade distributed grain and money. Although the proportion of fine grains grown this year increased and a vegetable group was added, the brigade had more than a dozen educated youths this year. Then in May, foreign guests were received, and each person was more than last year. Five more days of assigned work points.
Although the team's total income has increased compared to last year, the net value of work points is one point less than in previous years. This year's net value is 10 cents.
Although this net worth is already very good, the money everyone received is much less than last year, and everyone feels unhappy.
As a result, some people blamed the educated youth for this problem, and made some strange remarks from time to time.
Although Su Mo has no food points in the brigade, the two children only have one. A child under two years old eating fifth-grade food will weigh 180 kilograms a year.
So during her lunch break, Su Mo also went back to the brigade to get food for the two little cats.
This year the brigade has grown a lot of fine grains, so infants and young children can receive all the fine grains. Su Mo then asked for rice so that when the children were older, she could make bone porridge for them.
Then, Su Mo bought another 200 kilograms of corn from the brigade and kept it for Lu Boxing to help the people in the bullpen.
Rice costs nine and a half cents per catty, and corn costs five cents per catty, totaling 360 catties of rice and 200 catties of corn. Su Mo paid 44.2 yuan for the grain.
Su Mo had a limited lunch break, so after transporting the grain home, she hurried to the commune to work, so she didn't know that there was a conflict between the commune members and the educated youth.
The next day, the pigs were killed and the meat divided.
Many members of the brigade began to crowd out the educated youth, and they jumped in front of the queue of the educated youth. When asked, they said that they had helped to stay early. As a result, the educated youth came to queue early tomorrow, but they were squeezed to the back.
Educated youths are not fools either. It is obvious at a glance that they are being targeted.
This is how pigs are slaughtered and the meat is divided. Only those in the front can pick the good meat, and others in the back pick the leftovers. These days, who doesn’t want to be fat? Not only is the lean meat not a bit oily, but it is also chewy.
When it came to dividing the meat, the educated youth here barely tolerated it, but after the meat was divided, some educated youth with good financial conditions thought of buying more meat.
Those people began to behave like monsters again, preventing the educated youths from buying meat, saying that the people in the village should have priority for the meat, and when the people in the village didn't want it, it would be the educated youths' turn.
The educated youths were so angry that they asked Ma Jianming to bring several representatives to Su Mo that night and asked her to help deliver justice.
Su Mo was an educated youth, and her status in Lujiacun was not bad. The educated youths all agreed that it would be more effective to go to Su Mo than to complain to the commune.
After listening to this, Su Mo felt really sad.
This problem is really difficult to solve. The seeds of antagonism have been sown and reconciled once, and there will be another time.
However, those people did go too far. No matter what the educated youth were, since they were assigned to the brigade, they were members of the brigade, and the rights they should enjoy could not be deprived of them.
But it was not appropriate for Su Mo to come forward on this matter herself, so she took the representatives of the educated youth to find Lu Qing'an and Lu Baoguo and reported the matter to them.
Lu Baoguo has always been in charge of the affairs of the educated youth. Lu Baoguo also had a headache after hearing this.
These kids do a lot of shit. He is not very active in his work, and he has to go to the educated youth center every three days to mediate conflicts.
If others cut in line, they won’t cut back in? Do you have to come to him for everything? He is not their father.
If someone stopped him from buying meat, he would have slapped him with a loud mouth, and why would he be gibbering?
He has said that every member of the commune is eligible to buy meat, so why does he have to clearly indicate his preference for them?
I really don't know how to adapt.
Now that they are coming to him to complain, those people will be punished publicly, and maybe they will be targeted even more privately.
Doesn't he have to protect them again and again?
Lu Baoguo sighed, waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go back, I will discuss it in a meeting tomorrow."
After the educated youths left, Lu Baoguo looked at Lu Qing'an on the side, "Party secretary, your old daughter-in-law is also an educated youth. Why don't you take over the matter of being an educated youth? It will be easier for management."
Lu Qing'an was startled, and quickly put his hands behind his back to leave, "How can I have time? The team is busy with things, and we have to take care of our grandchildren. My mother-in-law has a backache these days, and I'm looking after the two little ones."
After saying that, he walked away in a flash. If you think he is stupid, he will not do this shit.
