Chapter 25: Counting work points and distributing food

After delivering the task grain, the village chief Zhang Guoqing began to organize accountants and work point clerks to count and verify the work points of all members and educated youth, preparing to distribute the grain in a few days.

The villagers also received the news of food distribution, and they could no longer wait, and the food at home also improved a little.

But the situation was not improved much. The grain distributed after the summer harvest was mostly eaten after a few months.

"Ou Zhiqing, food will be distributed in a few days. How much food do you think you should prepare?" Aunt Wang asked Ou Ruoxing while she was busy with her work.

Ou Ruoxing thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I've only been working for a few months. I don't know how many work points I can get. I don't know how much food I can exchange for~"

Families that receive more grain naturally get more work points. Otherwise, they may not even get the basic work points, and may even have to pay extra work points to the production team.

"Oh, Ou Zhiqing is just so modest. Look, you've been getting full work points every day since you came to the countryside to work. How is it possible that you don't get much food?" Aunt Wang was amused by her words.

"Hey! That can't be compared with you, Auntie~" Ou Ruoxing said indifferently, "By the way, Auntie, if the food we get is not enough, can we exchange some food with the production team?"

The Ou family, far away in Beijing, did not live a very good life. Although the food in the city sounded good, they had food coupons, but they were only given a certain amount of food every month, and without food coupons they could not buy any food at all, unless they bought it on the black market.

So Ou Ruoxing wondered if she could exchange some from the production team and then send it back for them to eat.

"You've asked the right person. The grain distributed after the autumn harvest each year usually has to be eaten until the next summer harvest. So, families with the means will exchange more grain with the production team."

"Besides, the price of grain exchanged in the production team is also cheaper, a few cents cheaper than the grain in the supply and marketing cooperative. The most important thing is that you don't need grain coupons." Aunt Wang explained it carefully to Ou Ruoxing.

Yes, only workers can get food coupons, and farmers have no way to get food.

Although the grain from the supply and marketing cooperatives was not very expensive, it did require tickets. If you didn't have tickets, you would have no choice but to buy them.

If you buy it on the black market, not only do you not need a ticket, the price is really high, and you also have to take risks. If you get caught by the red armbands, it will be no joke.

"That's great! I was worried about what to do if the food we get is not enough~" Ou Ruoxing blinked and said playfully.

This soft and cute look made Aunt Wang very fond of him.

How great it would be if this was my own daughter!

The village accountant and work point staff worked overtime day and night to check the statistics, and finally completed it on the third day.

The village chief also announced the news of tomorrow's grain distribution through the village radio.

For the members, distributing grain is the top priority every year, as it affects how many work points they can earn through a year's work, how much grain they can exchange for, and how much money they can get.

This is how grain is distributed after the autumn harvest every year. Village cadres count and check the work points, and then exchange them for grain based on the number of people in each household. If there are any remaining work points, the amount of money each work point can be exchanged for is determined based on the grain price of that year.

The village chief's daughter Zhang Cuicui also came out to join in the fun. She came up to Ou Ruoxing and chattered about some interesting stories about the distribution of food and money in previous years, which made Ou Ruoxing laugh.

Oh my goodness! This production team has so many people, and there are so many interesting (funny) things (information).

"Ou Zhiqing, you don't know that every year when food is distributed, some families don't get much food at all, because they don't even have enough basic work points, and they owe food to the production team every year. You say you don't want to give them food, but you can't just watch them starve to death. If you give them food, they can't pay back the debt every year. The production team is so fed up with it." Zhang Cuicui frowned and said irritably.

When Ou Ruoxing was reading period novels in her previous life, she also found that some authors often wrote about similar plots. She had not really experienced them, so she didn't feel anything and just glanced at them.

Now, when I heard this little girl say this, I really felt the same way. "Huh? How could someone not have enough work points? This shouldn't be a villager from our village, right?"

In her opinion, the villagers worked very hard to earn work points, so it was absolutely impossible that they did not have enough work points and owed the production team food.

If she were to say, it was quite normal for the educated youth who went to the countryside to behave like this.

After all, they all grew up in the city and are not very old. Compared with the old farmers in the village, the gap is too obvious.

Hearing Ou Ruoxing's words, Zhang Cuicui couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the anxiety she had just felt was gone.

"Hahaha, Ou Zhiqing, you would never have thought of this, right?" Zhang Cuicui said with a beaming smile, "It's not the educated youth who owe the production team grain every year~"

"They are well-known in the village for being lazy and greedy. To put it bluntly, they really eat everything and leave nothing. They are not good at anything!"

"You don't even know..." He said a lot of things and finally closed his mouth with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.

But after she said this, Ou Ruoxing had a better understanding of the situation in the village.

In a word, some people are like dog-skin plasters. You should never stick to them. If you accidentally get stuck to them, you will lose a layer of skin even if you don't die.
