These days, who is not tightening their belts and living a life?
Even people in the city have to plan carefully and go hungry from time to time, let alone those from the countryside?
Therefore, when they knew that money was going to be distributed, everyone from the brigade basically came.
Even those educated youths who were waiting to see the excitement of the Educated Youth Spot all rushed over. Although the money was calculated on a per-household basis, it did not stop them from coming to watch.
As soon as Xia Yao arrived, all eyes were directed at Xia Yao, obviously waiting for Xia Yao, and with what they said, Xia Yao was a little flattered.
You know, just a few months ago, when she first came to this brigade, as soon as Su Linlin's words came out, everyone was on Su Linlin's side, and they were all worried that she had sold the two little beans.
In just a short period of time, her status in the brigade has grown by leaps and bounds, and she has become an indispensable figure in collective meetings. Xia Yao was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses.
"Xia Zhiqing is here, it's time for us to distribute the money."
Captain Zhou spoke first, and his words excited everyone.
"Are we really going to give out money today? I thought the captain was just joking!"
"Who is the captain? How could he be joking about something so important?"
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!" Captain Zhou's voice became louder, "If we keep talking later, we won't give out the money."
Upon hearing this, the room inside and outside the office was so quiet that you could hear a mosquito flying in.
Captain Zhou's serious face only maintained for a moment, and soon he couldn't hold it any longer, and the smile on his face couldn't stop smiling: "Everyone must know that we are gathered here today just for one thing. !—Give money!”
"This is the first income for our brigade's chicken farm!"
Captain Zhou spoke, and cheers started.
"Does this mean that once our team sells a chicken, we can get a share of the money?"
Aunt Fang is now also the main force in the chicken farm. As long as she calculates her current work points, her breathing becomes short of breath. No matter how much she calculates, she can get dozens of dollars!
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Captain Zhou.
Captain Zhou waved his hand: "Let Xia Zhiqing answer this question for you."
Then, all eyes were focused on Xia Yao.
Xia Yao didn't hesitate and said: "We definitely can't divide the money every time. Just calculating this account is a big project. This is the first and only time! If you want to divide the money again in the future, you have to wait until the end of the year." ”
“It’s good to have more money at the end of the year!”
No one has any objections to dividing the money at the end of the year. Before the change, the team only divided the money based on work points at the end of the year. They could all afford to wait.
However, Tian Dashan always wants to show his presence at this time.
"With all the money in your hands, how do we know how much money we have at the end of the year?"
As soon as Tian Dashan said these words, everyone standing around him stepped back. For fear that Xia Yao would think that they and Tian Dashan were in the same group, even the people who usually ran around Tian Dashan shut their mouths. .
The brigade office is still worthy of trust in everyone's hearts.
After Tian Dashan finished speaking, the office was deathly silent, with no one speaking in agreement.
He looked ugly and looked around for Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua. However, they were still under the trench and could not support Tian Dashan at all.
"Tian Dashan, if you don't trust the team, you can apply to withdraw from our cooperative after distributing the money this time."
Before, Tian Dashan found fault everywhere and even instigated the red armbands from the county to come, but in the end, he shamelessly let the Tian family join in.
Now that he was causing trouble again, Captain Zhou didn't want to coddle him at all, so he simply gave him an ultimatum.
After saying this, Tian Dashan immediately performed a face change for everyone. He smiled and said: "Captain, I am doing this for your sake. What if some people are not convinced and go to the county to make trouble?"
That's what he said, but his eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he didn't mean it.
Aunt Guihua sneered and was about to take off the disguise on Tian Dashan's face, but Xia Yao took the lead and said in a clear voice: "Who would think so? Captain Tian, the person you are talking about is not you, right?"
"But don't worry, the team will remember every account clearly. Whether it's the chicken farm or the work points in the field, Accountant Xu and the scorekeeper will remember it clearly."
"For example, Granny Tian and Aunt Cheng earned one work point this morning, and they are all recorded in this book!"
Tian Dashan was originally impatient to hear Xia Yao say these words, but when he heard his name, his eyes immediately widened: "What? Only one work point?"
"Yes!" Xia Yao nodded, "It's all written down in the notebook."
"Captain, I have another suggestion." Xia Yao looked at Captain Zhou, "Why don't we publish the team's work points every day, so that everyone knows how much they have done and how many cents they have earned."
"Why don't we start from today?"
"OK!"
Accountant Xu immediately sat up straight.
The scorekeeper also nodded quickly.
As the two people in charge of work points in the brigade, it can be said that they are deeply disturbed by it. Some people always feel that they have less work points, and some even try to make trouble to get more work points.
If it can be announced, they won't even think about tampering with it.
"If someone is really dissatisfied with their work points, just bring it up and we'll have a meeting to resolve it and see if they've under-recorded it. If they really have under-recorded it, they'll deduct it from the scorekeeper's work points. If they're acting rogue out of nothing, they'll be punished. Picking shit.”
Some people were still thinking about making a fuss because of the previous sentence, but after hearing the last sentence, they all lost their minds.
Everyone knows that scorekeeper Zhou Dazhuang is a selfless person. Even if his own father does less work, he will still get points deducted, let alone people like them. He will never favor anyone.
When the time comes, not only will you not get any work points, but you will also have to pick up manure. Who is willing to do this?
Everyone looked at Tian Dashan with accusing eyes, blaming Tian Dashan for causing the incident. Without Tian Dashan, this work score would not have been announced. When everyone takes a look, they will all know who has done the least. It is simply useless. Escape!
Tian Dashan was furious and secretly cursed the two women at home for not standing up for him at this time.
Seeing that Xia Yao had gained most of the approval, Tian Dashan could only suppress the thoughts he had in his heart. After giving Xia Yao a hard look, he simply shut his mouth.
Forget it, just pretend that you are just here to share money today.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the smiles on everyone's faces were equally bright.
Every time Accountant Xu reads a name, a family will run up to him with smiles on his face.
"It's from Wang's family, 56 yuan."
"Zhou Osmanthus, 78 yuan."
Aunt Guihua's name was called, and her whole body became energetic.
She quickly ran up.
"78?"
Aunt Guihua’s lips almost reached behind her ears. This is seventy-eight yuan! Their family can earn two to three hundred for all their work points throughout the year!
"Aunt Guihua goes out early and comes back late every day. She has spent a lot of effort on the chicken farm. The chickens in our chicken farm can grow so well because of you and the other aunts! If you don't take the money, who will?"
Xia Yao spoke, and the smile on Aunt Guihua's face became even brighter.
She just likes Xia Yao to speak honestly!
Aunt Guihua took the money and raised her chin arrogantly, but when she glanced at the crowd, she didn't see her old rival Cheng Dahua. Her intention to show off was in vain, so she was not so happy.
"Xia Yao, 88."
When Xia Yao was mentioned, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Yao again.
"Xia Zhiqing has more money than Aunt Guihua..."
"What's wrong with having more than me? If it weren't for Yaoyao, how could our team earn so much money? I'm afraid you still save an egg every day and sell it to the purchasing station!"
The speaker smiled uncomfortably: "That's what I said."
"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see that someone questioned the brigade just now?" Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes, "We are all in the same brigade, so just be less calculating and stop staring at other people's acres of land every day. ! Take care of your own people!"
"When the time comes, I'll earn a work point and post it... Let's see who gets embarrassed!"
As Aunt Guihua talked, she pulled Tian Dashan out and talked again.
Tian Dashan moved his mouth, but still did not argue with Aunt Guihua.
"Lu Jing, 78 yuan."
When he heard Lu Jing's name, the hairs all over Tian Dashan's body stood up, and he subconsciously shouted: "Why does Lu Jing have so much money? He doesn't usually go to the chicken farm!"
"Xia Zhiqing's idea can't be attributed to Lu Jing, right? Besides, how can a kid from a landlord's family get so much money?"
After Tian Dashan finished speaking, his face turned pale.
Unknowingly, he spoke his mind.
Captain Zhou said with a cold face: "Why is Lu Jing not doing anything? He built the chicken farm with a few young adults in the village. Where were you at that time?"
"Also, don't always talk about the landlord's son. The Lu family went to the farm, but don't forget Lu Jing's identity! He is a veteran! He is a glorious veteran!"
"If you think he doesn't deserve the money, just go to the county and tell him! By the way, let the county take back the subsidy to him!"
Tian Dashan took a deep breath and was about to speak when he was interrupted again by Captain Zhou.
"continue!"
Everyone had no objection to Lu Jing taking money, but once they heard Captain Zhou's words, they became excited again.
Only Tian Dashan's face turned blue and purple.
Xia Yao took a few steps back and walked to Lu Jing's side.
While others were immersed in the joy of getting money, she looked at Lu Jing with worried eyes.
"Are you OK?"
At that moment just now, Xia Yao didn't miss Lu Jing's gloomy look.
At this time, Lu Jing's eyes were cold, as if nothing happened just now.
"It's okay." Lu Jing didn't say much, turned around and walked out.
Xia Yao held the two's money in his hands and followed them without thinking.
She thought of Tian Dashan's performance just now, and felt a chill in her back.
The book does not mention the grudge between Tian Dashan and the Lu family, but according to the reputation of the Lu family in the brigade, it is obviously unlikely that the wrong party is the Lu family, so the problem lies with Tian Dashan.
