Hard times have room

Chapter 513
"Yeah, the grain was harvested before. Under the strong request of the whole village, in front of everyone, all the grain in the village has been weighed, and the total is more than 900 catties."

This is mainly to prevent those cadres. After all, they calculate the distribution of work points, and at the same time, the keys are also in the hands of these cadres. If there is no specific value, wait until a month later, open the position, whether there is less or more, who can Know.

Of course, it was impossible to say that at the time. It was only said that the rats were rampant, and it was only a matter of weighing the scales.

"The more than 900 catties of grain can't even reach 1/3 of the usual summer harvest. That's it, and the tax has not been paid yet."

"It's also a good country and a good government. We have been exempted from taxes, otherwise we would not be able to live our days."

"All the grain harvested in the summer harvest is not enough to pay half of the tax, plus the autumn harvest, which is not visible at all, there is no way to survive." Thinking of this, Su Hongying was full of sighs, but she didn't aim for the worst. Go that way.

The food that is distributed now is the hope of these people. With hope, they can live a small life in peace. No matter how hard or tired it is, it is worth it. The wind and rain will pass.

"Well, yes, but Dad is already drinking wild vegetable soup, let's go too, and wait at the brigade warehouse later." Paulin nodded in approval, and then brought her own pot. The shovel is back in the kitchen again.

She is just one word now, urgent.

The urgency in her heart is no less than that of Su Hongying. The 140 catties of grain are really important to their small family that is now precarious.

After eating in a daze, Su Hongying went back to her room, took out two handfuls of dried grasshoppers, put them on the table, and left this for her and Paulin to eat later.

They don't know how long it will take in the afternoon, so it's right to eat more in advance, so as not to wait for the hungry calf to soften.

The upcoming 100-odd catties of grain will greatly relieve Su Hongying's tense nerves. Now, she has greatly relaxed the "control" of grasshoppers. After all, taking back the grain is the most important thing .

Of course, this relaxation is limited to today, and tomorrow will be different.

By the time Paulin and Su Hongying finished washing the dishes, they came to the large open space in front of the brigade's warehouse with two sacks that they had managed to mend. The place was already full of people.

Young and old, with bright smiles on their faces, in this place, talking and joking with acquaintances, this is a long-lost relaxation for them.

In addition to the old and young standing loosely, what is more noticeable is the long line in the middle, which are all young and middle-aged men or women lining up.

Although some people wanted to jump the queue unruly, but under the anger of the people behind, they went to line up in a daze, and this public anger is not easy to commit.

These young and strong people are queuing up, and the old and young people next to them are the family members of the people in line. However, they only stand on one side, moving from time to time to find someone they know to talk to.

They came too early, and the team leader and party secretary have not come yet, and it will take at least half an hour before the real distribution of food begins.

The happiest people laughing at the scene are the children. Now they are smiling childishly. From time to time, they find their little friends. of joy.

Bao Lin and Su Hongying searched for a while in the crowd before they saw Wang Jiandang who was in the forefront.

Pauline also deliberately counted the position of her father, and the fifth one is a very good position.

After he got home, he didn't delay anything. After eating the wild vegetable soup and grasshopper, he went out. Those who were in front of him, either ate faster than him, and their home was closer to this place, or else I didn't eat at all, and I came here to line up after work, but this kind of person is still a decimal after all.

After all, this grain is piled up in the warehouse of the brigade, and it can't grow legs, let alone run, so they are very relieved.

Even if it's late, it doesn't matter, it won't lack even one or two grains for them.

However, most of them can't escape the treatment of being sprayed by the elderly at home.

The two went to Wang Jiandang to say hello, and went to talk to someone they knew each other. As for the sack, Wang Jiandang naturally took it. He now has two sacks in addition to the bag he was carrying before.

Before going out, Paulin had been arguing with her mother for a long time because of what tools to bring. Paulin planned to bring a backpack. After all, she didn't have many things. She and her mother usually carried the two backpacks, which were definitely enough. .

But Su Hongying doesn't think so, she thinks sacks are better, they can hold things, and they can hold a lot of things. That's one point.

In addition, it is very portable. Just take the sack to the door of the warehouse and put the sack in Wang Jiandang's back basket. It's very simple. She dared to take off the back basket, she was so light, she couldn't be too beautiful, and the sense of superiority was instantly lifted.

Of course, these are not the most important points. The most important thing is that the grain is packed in sacks, so that no one else can see it, so that when they go home with the grain, they don't have to be touched by this aunt, and the aunt will turn it over. Turn it over, and the skin is about to fall off when they touch it.

The most annoying thing is those who like to compare their own grains with others. Why is your sweet potato more beautiful, bigger and more beautiful? It's not dug up. Your rice looks fuller, but mine is not good. too much.
In short, it's very annoying. If it happens that the old lady is not in a good mood, she will be arguing about unfairness and want to change it. It's annoying, very annoying, very annoying.

For the last reason, Paulin was successfully persuaded. In addition to the two sacks, the two also took two small sacks. This is not comparable to those rough sacks. Su Hongying both of those two small sacks Take it with you.

This is for those special foods, such as peanuts and soybeans. Su Hongying knows that there are some, but they are not many. If each family can divide a total of two or three kilograms, it is heaven.

These little things are not suitable to be mixed with sweet potatoes and rice, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with, not only because of the dirty, but also because the beans are mixed with these sweet potatoes and rice, and it will be difficult to pick them out.

Su Hongying went to look for a few people she had been in contact with frequently in the village. Soon, she blended in and started chatting.

As for Baolin, she saw Wang Dongmei, who was alone with two little dolls, very busy taking care of the two little nephews at home.

Dongmei seemed too busy to pay attention to her at all, so Pauline didn't go there.
