On my way home from cutting pigweed the next morning, I heard the captain's cough coming from the loudspeaker, so I stopped and stood there, waiting to hear the captain's announcement.
"Dear fellow villagers, please put down what you are doing for the time being. I have something important to inform you. The grain distribution will be held at the grain drying farm at one o'clock this afternoon. Please do not be late.
I'm repeating, at one o'clock this afternoon... "
After listening to the captain's words, I understood that the food distribution was going to be done in the afternoon. I didn't know how much food my work points could be exchanged for. I had heard before that people distributed food on a per-person basis in the village, that is, as long as your household registration was in the village, food distribution was carried out. They will give you basic food, but I don’t know how much.
After eating at noon, I heard the second sister calling to open the door. I went to the yard and opened the door. Before I could open my mouth, I heard the second sister say: "Xiaoxiao, do you have any sacks or bamboo baskets at home?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's good if you have it. We're going to distribute the food in the afternoon. If you don't have a bag or bamboo basket to put the food in, come over and ask. Also, if you wait there after you distribute the food, my dad will help you pick it up." Home, and the school has a half-day off in the afternoon because of the food distribution, so I can help you get it."
"Then thank you and your dad first. It's almost time now and let's go to the grain drying farm together."
"Okay, you go take out the bag or bamboo basket first."
"By the way, second sister, is there a food distribution system for each person in the team?"
"Yes, everyone over the age of 18 can share 320 catties, and everyone under the age of 18 can share 210 catties."
"Then I can just bring two bags. I basically don't have any work points."
When I came to the grain drying field, I saw that many people had come. Everyone was smiling and talking about sharing the grain.
Following the second sister, she walked to where her parents were standing, greeted them, and then stood aside waiting to share the food.
After more than half an hour, I saw the captain walking up to the high platform, and then I saw him say: "Everyone, be quiet. When the food is distributed, whoever's name is called by Accountant Zhang will come to collect the food. Anyone whose name is not called will come over to collect the food." Don’t be anxious, we will ensure that everyone can receive food today.”
As soon as the captain finished speaking, he saw a tall, thin man wearing a pair of glasses standing on the high platform. It seemed that he was the accountant Zhang the captain mentioned.
He took out a notebook, opened it and said, "Liu Zhuzhu, your family has a total of 3,690 work points. How can I change it?"
As soon as Accountant Zhang finished speaking, a man in his fifties stepped forward and said, "Except for the two hundred yuan, everything else will be exchanged for food."
Everyone looked envious when they heard his words, and the second sister also said with envy: "It's good to have more people in the family. The more work points you get, the more money and food you get."
"What's better? You had a lot of people in your family before we were separated. Do you think that's okay?"
After hearing what she said, the second sister trembled and said quickly: "No, it's not good at all. Now I feel like I don't envy him at all."
"Haha, I'm kidding you. There are still many big families who are harmonious. The captain's family is pretty good. It mainly depends on the person."
"That's right. If you meet someone like my grandma, it would be very embarrassing if you have one in the family. If the whole family is like that, they will be in a state of panic every day."
As soon as the second sister finished speaking, she heard a woman crying in front of her.
