Brigade headquarters. Backyard granary!
Both the east and west gates were crowded with commune members and educated youths wearing coarse cloth clothes, and some were wearing white research uniforms - white lab coats.
They are teachers and students in the laboratory of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry School, and they are also the only people from other villages who are qualified to participate in the distribution of grain and money.
However, seeing these people holding various sacks waiting to share the food, the people from other villages who came to watch the excitement were quite surprised and started talking about it for a while.
"Yeah, aren't those the people doing research in the province? Why are they here? Are they also here to distribute food?"
"It should be. Didn't you see that those people also had sacks in their hands?"
"What do the people in Babaoliang Village think about sharing food with outsiders? Do the members of their village have no objections?"
"Who knows, Babaoliang Village has been very evil in the past two years..."
Listening to the discussions from other villagers, Zhou Yang and Wang Ping all smiled without explaining.
Distributing food to the teachers and students of the Provincial Agricultural and Animal Husbandry School is a decision made by the village after joint discussion!
Not only food, but also money will be given to these 27 people when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year.
As for the reason, it’s simple!
After all, these teachers and students have been doing their best to help the villagers since they came to Babaoliang Village.
Whether it is a pig farm, a chicken farm, or a veterinary station, the village has benefited a lot.
Even the latest scientific research results must be shared with the villagers.
It can be said that without the teachers and students of these agricultural and animal husbandry schools, it would still be difficult to develop the breeding industry in Babaoliang Village.
As the saying goes, a person with a lot of wealth does not count.
Anyone who has been involved in the breeding industry knows that whether you are raising pigs, chickens, or cattle and sheep, the most feared thing is disease.
It is precisely because of Qin Xueyi, Gu Ning, Qinggele, Liang Ying and others that the breeding industry in Babaoliang Village can be as smooth as it is now.
When working, people are just as exhausted as the people in the village.
Now that the food is distributed, naturally we can’t treat people as outsiders!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Ping came to the front of the crowd with a tin trumpet, and then said loudly: "Comrades, let's start dividing the food now. It's still the same as before, the fourth team and the fifth team will be divided separately."
"The order of food distribution is to the commune members first, then to the educated youth and teachers and students of the agricultural and animal husbandry schools, and finally to the five-guarantee households in the village!"
"When you hear your name, immediately go to the front to check the work points and food. After verifying that they are correct, sign or fingerprint, and then the village will arrange a carriage to take the allocated food home to you!"
After reading out the basic principles of grain distribution, Wang Ping handed over the specific work of grain distribution to Zhang Genwang, Li Jianguo and several accountants.
The four teams share food points!
Li Jianguo held a tin trumpet in one hand and a food distribution booklet in the other, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Meiliang...has Comrade Zhang Meiliang arrived?"
"Here...here, here it is!"
Then, a tall commune member led several family members and trotted to Li Jianguo.
"Comrade Zhang Meiliang, there are seven people in your family, four of whom participated in labor. This year, they earned a total of 12,560 points, accounting for 1,256 work points. Do you have any objections to the work points calculated by the team?" Li Jianguo asked.
"No, it's almost the same as what I calculated!" Zhang Meiliang said loudly.
Li Jianguo nodded and continued: "According to this year's distribution plan, each person has 2,044 kilograms and 7 taels of grain, including 404 kilograms of wheat, 67 kilograms and 3 taels of oats, 33 kilograms and 6 taels of millet, 210 kilograms of millet, and 16 kilograms of soybeans. 8 taels, 505 jins of corns, 808 jins of yam eggs, your family can get a total of 14,312 jins and 9 taels in terms of head grain..."
Before he finished speaking, the whole scene exploded instantly.
Whether they were from Babaoliang's own village or people from other villages who came to watch the excitement, they were all shocked by the amount announced by Li Jianguo.
Good guy, one person weighs more than 2,000 pounds. This is too scary!
More importantly, this is just human head food.
You must know that normally, when allocating grain, each village basically follows the principle of "seven per person and three for labor", that is, the grain per head accounts for 70% of the total harvest, and the labor share accounts for 30%.
In other words, each of the working population in Babaoliang Village can get at least one thousand kilograms of grain.
This adds up to at least three thousand kilograms, and if distributed according to the five-to-five principle, it would be even more.
And just when everyone was shocked and dumbfounded, Li Jianguo's voice rang out again: "This year, the village will be distributed according to the principle of "five people, five labors". Each work point can be divided into 7 kilograms and 9 taels of grain. 1 catty and 3 taels of wheat, 2 taels and 2 oats... Your family can get 9,922 catties and 4 taels of grain, which adds up to 24,244 catties and 3 taels!"
"hiss!"
This last number was once again like dropping a depth charge on a calm lake, causing everyone present to take a breath.
A family with only four laborers was allocated more than 24,000 kilograms of grain in one year. This sounds like a fantasy.
Even Zhang Meiliang's family in front of the crowd stood stunned on the spot. He still clearly remembered that last year, his family of seven only shared more than 2,700 kilograms of grain, which was a fraction of what they received this year.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and press your fingerprints to get the food!" Li Jianguo reminded him immediately.
However, after Zhang Meiliang came to her senses, she did not immediately go to the accountant to press her fingerprints. Instead, she took her wife to Zhou Yang and Wang Ping.
Then, he said excitedly: "Zhou Zhiqing...Captain Zhou, Party Secretary Wang, twenty-four thousand kilograms of grain, I, Zhang Meiliang, dare not even think about it. I thank you, I kowtow to you..."
With that said, he would kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Yang and Wang Ping.
This shocked Zhou Yang, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and at the same time said: "Brother Liangzi, don't dare to do this, it will shorten your life!"
Wang Ping also stepped forward and said: "Old Zhang, don't embarrass Comrade Zhou Yang!"
"In addition, hurry up and collect your food. Other comrades are still waiting to share it, so don't waste your time!"
"Okay, okay...I'll just press my fingerprints right now. Thank you!"
After saying that, Zhang Meiliang went over to press his fingerprints and receive the food!
Seeing sack after sack of wheat, oats, and corn being weighed and loaded onto trucks, and then delivered to the commune members' homes, people in the village were delighted and smiling, while people in other villages were envious and shocked.
Today's grain distribution meeting in Babaoliang Village has definitely refreshed everyone's understanding. In the past few years, in all villages, including Babaoliang Village, if one person can get 500 kilograms of grain throughout the year, it is considered worthy. It's a good year.
However, Babao Liangcun easily raised this limit to more than 4,000 kilograms. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would believe it.
When they saw the commune members in Babaoliang Village, as long as there were six or seven people in the family, they could easily distribute 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of grain, and the people watching the excitement in other villages became numb!
What is particularly shocking is that when Lao Li's family distributed food, 19 people of all sizes could receive thirty-nine thousand catties of food per head alone.
Including work-shared grain, the total is more than 58,000 kilograms!
Hearing this number, everyone was stunned...
In addition, what shocked those in other villages even more was the village's treatment of households with five guarantees.
The so-called five-guarantee households refer to the lonely elderly people in the production team who have no ability to work and have no children to rely on, the disabled who have lost the ability to work and have no one to rely on, and the orphans who have lost their parents and have no one to rely on.
The state defines these people as "five-guaranteed households", which means "clothing, food, housing, medical care, and nursing care."
The production team collectively paid for the oil, salt, firewood, rice, vinegar, and all expenses for food, death, and burial for the "Five Guaranteed Households."
Families receiving the "Five Guarantees" do not have work points recorded because they have no ability to work and cannot participate in collective labor.
It can be said that all living expenses of the five-guarantee households are collectively reimbursed by the production team.
Babaoliang Village currently has 13 households of 500 with a population of 19, all of whom are elderly people living alone.
For these elderly people who are unable to work, after discussion in the village, they will be given normal head rations based on the standard of 2,044 kilograms per person.
At the same time, he sent someone to deliver food to their homes for him.
He also promised that after dividing the grain, he would help them grind the wheat and oats into flour and shell the millet. This benefit was so good that it made people jealous.
