Chapter 225 Food Distribution

"Okay, Mom, we know how to do this."

"Yes, this job is not difficult at all, but what about the sweet potato vines?"

"This is easy. We can cook the tender leaves in the next two days. If we can't finish them, we can boil them in water and dry them into dried vegetables. As for the leaves that are too old to be eaten, we can just feed them to the pigs.

Anyway, we have two pigs at home, so we won’t waste food.”

"That's right!

How could you forget about the pigs at home?

It is true that they will not be wasted. This is only the case now. If it were a few years ago, wouldn’t people still eat the sweet potato vines?

That is to say, now, there is no shortage of food at home, and even if there is a shortage, we can at least get enough water to fill our stomachs, otherwise we have to eat anyway.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes in the private plot, the wheat in the field can also be planted. If you plant them at this time, you can harvest them in the summer of next year.

Even if the yield is extremely low, it would be good to have two seasons a year.

The only thing is that Huangzhuang is not as good as the other brigades. It is too close to the mountains. Not only is the land not very good, but the use of water is also not very convenient.

But even so, everyone is still full of energy. There is no other way. If they don't work, they will have nothing to eat, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

After finishing planting wheat, it is time to distribute the grain in autumn.

Even though the food distributed this time was only sweet potatoes and soybeans, everyone was very happy.

As for corn, it has to be threshed and handed over to the public before it can be distributed.

It was not quite clear how the grain would be distributed, but on the night before the distribution, Guo Huaian calculated the work points his family had earned and heard him say.

"Although our family settled in Huangzhuang relatively late this year, at least we haven't had to take any leave so far.

Even though I have worked a few times since school started, it is still not a small number.

It’s not as good as other people’s, but for us, it’s not bad to earn this much in the first year.

Let me first talk about our family's great hero, your mother, who has earned 1200 work points since she started working."

As soon as I heard this, I felt something was wrong and said it quickly.

“That’s not right!

Did you also include the work points you earned?"

"The work I usually do for you after class is already recorded in your name, so the work points must also be yours."

"this?"

"There's nothing different. We are a family. Even if you want to separate, the brigade won't agree, and it will be troublesome.

Besides, I just helped you finish the work ahead of time, and we didn’t add too much, otherwise the fellow villagers in the team would disagree.”

"Too."

“It’s just that since school started in September, I’ve only earned some money on Sundays and during the busy farming season, and the rest was in the few months before school started.

But it’s not bad at all, I earned 1156 work points.”

"That's not a small amount, is it?"

"Yes?

Dad still has to go to work, and compared to mom, he only lacks a few dozen work points.

How can it not be more? "

"That's because the working hours are short this year. What if it's next year?"

"this?"

"Next year, we'll talk about next year!"

"That's right. What I didn't expect is that our three children, despite their young age, are all really capable!"

"is it?"

"is not that right?

From June until now, each of the three children has earned the same amount of work points.

Each person earned 130 work points, so three people earned 390 work points."

"so much?"

"is not that right?

Even though they can't compare with other kids in the team, they earned this much in their first year, so it's no worse than others.

Moreover, it was the first year, and it was really difficult for the three of them to work together to earn so many work points."

"No, we can't do anything else to help. We can only cut grass for the pigs."

"That's right. If you can't work in the fields, then you can just cut grass for the pigs first."

"That's right. If it weren't for the time period, I would have been able to earn more."

"Okay, it's not easy to earn more work points. There will be plenty of time later."

"That's right. With five people in our family, we have earned 2746 work points this year!"

"That's right, but if we really calculate it in detail, if we count 274.6 work points as one work, that's work points."

"No matter how you calculate it, even if the food we get is not enough for a year, it should be enough."

"Yes, this time we will distribute sweet potatoes and soybeans first. Let's see how the food distribution goes. If it doesn't work, we can buy some sweet potatoes and soybeans first."

"No, there's definitely enough sweet potatoes for us to share with the team, plus the sweet potatoes from our own plot, so I don't think we need to buy any.

If we want to buy food, we should buy more corn and wheat. I just don’t know if there will be any wheat left by then.”

“If you have it, buy it. If you don’t have it, buy corn. It’s not a big deal to just eat sweet potatoes.

After next autumn, their three children will go to primary school in the commune, so it would be better to buy more corn so that they can bring lunch to school.

We don’t have the means to make white flour steamed bread, but these cornmeal steamed bread and pancakes are no problem for our family.”

"That's right, but I don't know how to divide the food."

"I have already found out about this!"

"How to divide?"

"Yes?

Dad, how do we divide it? How much food can we get with the work points we earn?"

"how?

Are you worried about not having enough to eat?"

"You're definitely going to be worried, right?"

"That's right. We came here for the first year. Didn't we know that before?"

"Okay, just listen to me slowly."

"Oh!"

"how to say?

That is, 70% of the people are fed and 30% of the workers are fed. In other words, 70% of the food is fed by people and 30% by workers. "

"In that case, we should have enough food at home!"

"How can it be?

Not all people are the same. As far as the people in our family are concerned, they are divided into three levels based on their age.

You two younger ones are in one category until you turn 10, and your older brother turns 10 this year, so he will be in one category when he turns 17, and he will be in another category when he turns 18.”

"what?

Can it be calculated this way?"

"How else can I put it? This little brat is trying to eat me to death?"

"Oh!

Yeah, is there anything else?"

"Of course I have. Listen to me."

"Oh!"

"In the worst harvest areas, the basic food ration is 400 kilograms, and the best can be 480 kilograms."

"so much?"

"Is it much?

Don't forget that the food you will be distributed will be raw food, that is, food without being peeled.

After removing the fur, the number is not this same!
