In the blink of an eye, a week has passed!
After entering November, the temperature in Yunshan County dropped sharply.
Although it didn't snow, the outdoor temperature was close to freezing during the day and even lower at night.
The common people also put on thick clothes. Although they didn't need leather jackets and cotton trousers, they still wore trousers and sweaters.
At this time, the entire Saibei Province has basically entered winter, and most of the production teams are idle.
But these people do not include Babaoliang Village. The educated youth members here still insist on going to work every day and are as busy as ever.
As various industries in the village begin to take shape, the manpower required has also increased significantly. Even if the educated youth engaged in planting are free, they still need to help in other departments.
Take the feed factory as an example. Last year, only 30 people were needed to ensure the normal operation of the feed factory.
However, due to the expansion of production capacity this year and the addition of more than 30 huge fermentation tanks, the most important thing is that there are more livestock in the village this year.
In order to ensure that these livestock have enough feed and that the fermentation tank is not empty, the village mobilized 200 people from mid-October to work in two shifts to produce feed.
In addition, the same goes for bone meal factories, pig farms and chicken farms. There are also a large number of cattle, sheep, mules and horses that need to be driven to the wild for grazing, which takes up the vast majority of the village's labor force.
At present, except for those households with five guarantees and underage children who have no labor force, there are almost no idlers in Babaoliang Village.
But as busy as it is, what the villagers are most concerned about now is when to distribute the grain.
Almost every day, people come to ask Zhou Yang this question. It's not that everyone has no food at home, but because by this time in the past few years, the food in the village should have been distributed. This year, it's November, and there is still no movement.
In addition, everyone went to the brigade headquarters to hand over tasks every day. They were all very greedy when they saw the mountains of food there, but they were still not given to everyone.
But there are also difficulties in the team. Because the team had to hand in mission food and love food to the superiors some time ago, and also exchange fine grains and miscellaneous grains with the commune and other disaster-stricken production teams, the total amount of food in the team has been changing, and there is no need at all. Share the method with everyone.
Fortunately, after this period of busy work, Liang Feng finally straightened out the accounts.
Later, Wang Ping, the village party secretary, once again convened a short meeting with village cadres to discuss the distribution of grain to the educated youths in the village!
After some deliberation, it was finally decided that in addition to leaving 70,000 jins of wheat and 300,000 jins of corn as emergency food, all the remaining coarse and fine grains would be given to the educated youth members.
Afterwards, the village immediately posted this year's distribution plan and the statistics of each household's work points on the bulletin board of the brigade headquarters. While announcing it, the educated youth members were asked to check their own work points.
If you have any objections or feel that your work division is wrong, report it to the production team for verification immediately.
However, when the distribution plan was posted, it immediately aroused heated discussion among the villagers.
There are two main things that have caused heated discussion among everyone. One is the amount of grain to be distributed this year. According to published data, the village will distribute 480,000 kilograms of wheat to the educated youth members this time (70,000 kilograms of emergency wheat are to be exchanged for returned), 80,000 catties of oats, 250,000 catties of millet, 40,000 catties of millet, 20,000 catties of soybeans, 600,000 catties of corn, and 950,000 catties of yam eggs.
Then someone simply added up the quantity of these grains and found that it was more than 2.4 million kilograms.
There are only less than 600 people in the village, and even if the more than 2.4 million kilograms of grain are distributed to each person, that is about 4,000 kilograms, which is more than 10 times more than last year.
Of course, the distribution of food in the village will not be as simple and crude as per head, but it is still conceivable that everyone will be able to get a generous share this year.
Another thing that everyone is talking about is that the food distributed in the village does not include beetroot.
In this regard, the explanation given by the brigade headquarters is that the beet pimples are used as feed, that is, to feed livestock.
This made some elderly people in the village feel very distressed. Many of them came from the famine years. Although beetroot tastes bad, in their eyes, it is still a life-saving food.
But now the village wants to use these things to feed livestock. Isn’t this nonsense!
As a result, many people found Wang Ping, hoping that they would not spoil these beet knots.
Since all the people who came were elderly people in the village, Wang Ping couldn't turn a blind eye and found Zhou Yang immediately.
After learning about this situation, Zhou Yang still insisted on his idea. The beet pimples were not distributed to the members, but were all used as feed.
The reason why Zhou Yang insists on doing this is because the livestock in the village really need this stuff to increase their nutrition.
After all, the meat factory now raises pigs itself and knows the role of bone meal, so the bone residue they supply to Babaoliang Village is intermittent and very unstable.
If there is not enough bone meal, the nutritional content of the biological feed will be insufficient, and the effect of raising livestock will be greatly reduced, so beet pimples must be needed to supplement nutrition.
To be honest, if feeding corn dregs to livestock was not too shocking now, Zhou Yang would have wanted to use all the 600,000 kilograms of corn as feed. The effect of that thing is not a bit better than beet knots.
On the other hand, Zhou Yang felt that the village had already distributed a lot of food to the educated youth members this year. With good food, who would eat such a bad-tasting beet dumpling, although it is indeed very sweet.
Then Wang Ping explained Zhou Yang's explanation to the village members. When they learned that this was what Zhou Yang meant and that it would also affect the development of pig farms and chicken farms, the old people said nothing more. .
After unifying their thoughts, on the evening of November 3, the village informed the members that they would distribute grain tomorrow!
Early the next morning, the loudspeaker in the village rang: "Attention, members of the commune, educated youth, and teachers and students of agricultural and animal husbandry schools. Everyone must gather at the brigade headquarters before eight o'clock to prepare for the distribution of food. Here we come. Just bring your sacks and bags when the time comes. You don’t have to go to the barn to borrow a car. The village will be responsible for delivering your food to your home..."
The loudspeaker sounded three times in succession, and did not stop until Wang Ping's voice resounded throughout the village.
After hearing the notice, all the people in the village rushed to the brigade headquarters with sacks or even baskets in hand.
At the same time, after learning that Babaoliang Village was going to distribute grain today, many commune members from nearby Dawuhao, Zuojia Village, and Xiaohuangtu Village rushed over to watch the fun.
Everyone said that Babaoliang Village had a good harvest this year, and everyone wanted to see how much food they could share.
As a result, Zhou Yang and others did not expect that a large number of people from other villages suddenly came to the brigade headquarters.
And with so many people pouring in, coupled with the convoys responsible for transporting food to each family, the brigade headquarters, which originally seemed a bit empty, turned out to be a bit crowded.
Upon seeing this, Wang Ping immediately suggested that all the members from other villages go back so as not to affect the distribution of grain in the village.
But Zhou Yang thought of what he had to do next and rejected Wang Ping's proposal.
Not only did he not let those from other villages leave the brigade, but he also asked Cui Qianjin to find a few young and strong men, let them set up a stove in the backyard, and then make tea for everyone.
In addition, they also asked people to open the conference room next to the brigade office. If anyone feels cold, they can go in and warm their hands.
Then, with Wang Ping's order, the Babaoliang Village grain distribution meeting officially began...

PS: Chapter 2 is delivered!
