Soon it was time to distribute the grain. The grain drying field outside the production team's warehouse was full of people. Everyone's face was filled with the joy of the harvest. After half a year of hard work, the harvest results can only be seen today.

Leaving Ye Yao at home looking at the little meat buns, Su Jiao also came to the drying area. She came to buy food today.

She and Ye Mingyuan didn't work this year. Only Ye Yao earned a few points from cutting pigweed a few times at home, but it was of no use, so there was no work points to offset the food, so she could only buy it with money.

The ration distribution ratio for the production team in their commune is seven per person and three labor, 70% of the basic ration per person, and the remaining 30% is passed on to the commune members according to their points.

It can be said that their family has no work points this year, so she can only spend money to buy basic food for the four members of their family. Of course, if there is still food left over after all members of the team have distributed it, she can spend more if she is willing. Money keeps buying.

As soon as she came to the grain drying ground and stood still, many women looked towards her, many of them curled their lips and frowned, as if they looked down on her.

Su Jiao didn't bother to talk to her. Isn't it because she didn't work and spent money to buy food, so they were jealous.

Wu Xiaoqin, who was standing with Li Shoucai, also saw Su Jiao and immediately waved to her, "Jiaojiao! Come here quickly!"

Hearing the sound, more eyes were looking at her. Su Jiao smiled and nodded to say hello to those who were on good terms with her. Su Jiao seemed not to notice those ulterior motives and walked straight towards Wu Xiaoqin.

"Why did you come here empty-handed and buy food in a while? How do you get so much food?"

Wu Xiaoqin looked behind Su Jiao in confusion, and found that she was indeed the only one, so she asked.

After asking and not waiting for Su Jiao to answer, she asked and answered to herself: "But it's okay, my family is here to keep money. Whichever of our two families will get the first turn to share the food will be given to whoever has the support first."

Su Jiao smiled and said, "No need, my parents have already distributed the food and are now hauling food home. My third brother will bring the food home in a while, so there will be no delay."

Just as Su Jiao was about to continue talking to Wu Xiaoqin, the captain's voice came from the front, asking representatives from each family to come up and draw lots to arrange the order of food distribution.

Su Jiao said nothing more, patted Wu Xiaoqin's arm and went to draw lots.

The order she caught was pretty high, it was the tenth house, and Li Shoucai picked the thirteenth house.

Brother Su came when he was assigned to the seventh family, and after waiting for a while, it was her turn.

I went up and calculated it, and found that his family's head of food was less than 1200 kilograms.

Xiao Roubao's head food for a baby under one year old is 180 kilograms, and the rest is the same as that of Ye Mingyuan and Ye Yao, which is 320 kilograms.

This was obviously not enough to eat. Last year, the three of them shared nearly 1400 kilograms and couldn't even get enough to eat. They had to rely on Su Jiao to sneak some from the space every now and then to mix it in, and Ye Mingyuan used Meng Long's connections to go to the county to get some to barely have enough to eat.

The cart couldn't be hauled in one trip, so Su Jiao asked her third brother to send one cart home first, and she would buy the rest and bring them back together when there was enough left after the grain distribution was over.

She heard Wu Xiaoqin say that the production team would have a good harvest this year, and there would be a surplus of grain.

When Su Sange came back with the cart, Li Shoucai's family had already finished dividing the goods. Li Shoucai had already carried the burden home for one trip and had just come back to prepare for the second trip.

Su Jiao asked Brother Su to pull the cart and help Li Shoucai home first. There was so much food that it would take more than ten trips to carry it.

Wu Xiaoqin and Su Jiao were chatting over the remaining food, and they were so shameless that they came to get close to them and wanted to borrow the cart.

Su Jiao didn't forget that these were the ones who pouted at her before. She wasn't that generous, so she simply ignored them.

Several people were bored and left with ugly faces.

After everyone in the team had finished sharing, and sure enough there was still some leftover, Su Jiao stepped forward and told the captain that she wanted to buy more.

There were already several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes in the daily ration, but Su Jiao didn't buy any more. What she wanted to buy most was rice and wheat, and she wished she had three to five hundred kilograms of each.

Because the human head grain she just bought was too little, she didn't dare to mix it in too much from the space, otherwise it would be too obvious.

But out of the corner of her eye, she saw those women who were also guarding their own food so jealous that they wanted to shoot out laser eyes, so Su Jiao decided to restrain herself.

It's just that I need another 100 kilograms of wheat and rice each, and I also bought some symbolic amounts of corn, millet and sorghum.

Even though she was like this, those jealous people were still dissatisfied. When Su Jiao was paying, someone spoke sourly.

"Oh, you're still young and you still don't know how to live. You can't eat so much if you buy so much refined food. You just gave birth to a child, so you can't be so selfish anymore. You still have to save some money for the child, otherwise When the child grows up, will he go out to drink the northwest wind and become a bachelor?"

Su Jiao hadn't said anything yet, but Wu Xiaoqin, who had just come up with a load of support and was about to help Su Jiao carry the newly bought grain to the place where they kept the grain, heard this and was immediately unhappy.

"Auntie, you should worry more about your own family. We delicate men work in the commune, which is an iron rice bowl, and we can earn more than you. During this time, you'd better think about how to tighten your belt and save money.

I remember that you still have two unmarried sons in your family. You are in Buduo province. What will they do if they can't get a wife? "

Wu Xiaoqin hung the two baskets of grain on the pole, picked up the burden and walked forward, "Come on, Jiaojiao, don't talk to them. There are some people who just don't want to see others living a better life than themselves, and they have a dark heart."

The old woman was stabbed in the lung tube and said angrily: "My dear daughter-in-law, who are you talking about!"

Wu Xiaoqin hummed without looking back: "I'll talk to anyone who talks to me!"

Su Jiao looked at the angry aunt who was gasping for breath, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and trotted forward to help the swaying Wu Xiaoqin with the basket.

The day after the grain distribution was completed, the team sent a few good house builders to pull the adobe and tools on carts.

Su Jiao took a look and saw that there were no people who were making trouble every day. They were all with good reputations. Li Shoucai was among them. It was obvious that they were carefully selected by the production team leader. Su Jiao made a mental note.

The trenching and dredging task of the commune has begun. Su's father is the production team leader of the second team and must lead the team. He set out early in the morning with people. However, knowing that the Ye family wanted to build a wing and a bathhouse, he specially sent the two brothers of the Su family to left behind.

Su's mother also came here early in the morning with her two brothers from the Su family. She was afraid of disturbing Little Roubao, so she asked Su Jiao to take Little Roubao to Su's house, while she stayed here to watch the arrangements.

Su Jiao was really inexperienced in building houses, so she didn't argue with her mother. She told her mother to remember to take sugar from the kang cabinet and give some sugar water to the members who were building houses, and then went to Su's house with the meat buns and woolen yarn.
