Eating melons

Chapter 645: The Trouble Started Again

There was an especially large amount of grain this year. After handing over the public grain, there was still a lot of grain left after distributing it to the people in the team.

But the account was empty, so the villagers needed to discuss before making a decision whether to sell the grain or distribute it to everyone.

Later, there was the matter of going up the mountain to hunt and paying public grain, and everything was very rushed, so they simply waited until the hunters came back to distribute the grain.

The food was finally to be distributed, and everyone in the Red Star Brigade was a little excited, especially the new educated youth.

Because their food supply has long been exhausted, they have to buy food every month.

During the autumn harvest period, the workload is so heavy that people have to eat their fill, so the amount of food is visibly decreasing every day, and the same is true for money.

If this continues, their wallets will not be able to hold on. Not only will their food run out, but their money will run out as well. Therefore, they are very excited to see the money and food being distributed.

Wei Wei and her seven companions were always the least active in distributing grain every year, and this year was no different. They once again wasted time until the very last moment, and only slowly walked towards the threshing ground around noon.

But as soon as they arrived at the threshing ground, they found something wrong.

In previous years, by the time they arrived at the threshing ground, there were almost no people there.

It cannot be said that there are not many people. In fact, there are still many people watching the fun and the show, to see how much money others get. However, there are not many people queuing, and it will be their turn soon.

This year, the threshing ground was still crowded, but there were still many people queuing there.

They came so early, but they didn't know how long it would take for them to get their turn.

Seeing this scene, everyone was a little confused. Liu Jiaojiao asked in confusion:

"Is there so much grain this year? Is it so difficult to distribute? Why hasn't it been distributed yet?"

Wei Wei shook her head. "I don't know. Could something have happened again? Is there something else we haven't eaten yet?"

Seeing Wei Wei only thinking about eating melons no matter what she did, several people felt helpless. They didn't know what to say about Wei Wei's temper.

Especially Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin, now they finally understood why Wei Wei always hid at the back when she went to watch the fun for fear of being beaten.

With her nature of just wanting to watch the fun, she could easily get beaten up.

Wei Wei felt that there was something to eat, so she immediately came forward, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

As soon as Wei Wei and her friends came forward, someone immediately started to gossip with them.

Only then did they realize that these new educated youth were causing trouble again.

After hearing this, several people were impressed. These new intellectuals were really capable of causing trouble and could cause trouble wherever they went.

When the people from the Red Star Brigade saw the few people coming, they immediately pulled them together to gossip, and described what had just happened in a lively and vivid manner.

Of course, we don’t know if they added anything themselves, but they think there must be something.

After just a few words they guessed what had just happened.

It turned out that these new things made him a little upset when he saw the money he got, so he started to make a fuss.

The new educated youth had no money or food and were waiting for this money as an emergency measure.

It should be said that the next year will depend on the money and food distributed this time.

Within a few days of arriving at the Red Star Brigade, they knew how many pigs the Brigade had raised. When they saw the hundreds of pigs and so many chickens, ducks, and geese, they knew without a doubt that they could get a lot of money.

So even if they don't have many work points, they should still be able to get a lot of money.

One pig is not a lot, so if we calculate it at one hundred yuan, there are at least two hundred pigs in the Red Star Brigade, which means twenty thousand yuan.

Not to mention that there are more than two hundred of them, and there are also so many chickens, ducks and geese.

Therefore, they are very much looking forward to this money distribution.

But who would have thought that reality would give them a slap in the face.

In fact, they didn't realize anything was wrong until it was their turn.

Because when those people in front received their money, each of them received at least a few hundred yuan, and some even received thousands, and one person even received more than two thousand.

But they never thought that they were busy all year round, and that the hundreds or thousands of dollars they earned were earned by the whole family.

Those who received 500 or 600 yuan had at least four laborers.

For a small family like that, it actually only costs about two to three hundred or three to four hundred yuan.

Those who earn thousands of dollars usually have at least four male workers in their family, and they are not lazy.

As for those who earn over two thousand yuan, it must be because their three or four sons are all married, the family has not been divided, and the family members are not lazy.

The money was earned by several people in the family, but only one person from each family was sent here to collect the money. The new educated youth did not know this and thought that one person got so much, so they were very excited.

So when it was their turn, they were dumbfounded when they saw the twenty or thirty yuan they had.

The one with the highest work points among this group of new educated youth only received more than 50 yuan. This was because the autumn harvest this year lasted for a long time, so the period for earning high work points was longer.

Li Hu was an impatient person. He started yelling as soon as he saw the forty or so yuan in his hand.

The other new educated youth also felt something was wrong because they had too little money, which was a terrible contrast to the hundreds or thousands of people before them.

Therefore, the new educated youth immediately confronted the accountant and others.

Because they were new educated youth, they might not be familiar with the rules of the brigade, so although Zhou Youfu and Zhang Xinwang looked unhappy, they patiently explained to them.

Because the farm doesn't share money, the work points are like this and the price can't be raised. Besides, they have only been here for a short time and have only so many work points, so this is the price.

Then I checked the work points with them and compared the numbers. It was exactly this amount of work points, exactly this much money.

But the new educated youth still didn't believe it, thinking that even if they didn't share the money, the gap shouldn't be so big.

Because others have hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but they only have dozens of dollars, so they are definitely treated differently.

After a long commotion, Liu Yang and Li Hong came out to explain and the few people had to believe it.

But even so, they were still unwilling to believe the fact that the brigade had no money.

Because even if they wanted to buy a tractor, with so many pigs and poultry there, it was impossible to use all the money to buy a tractor. It would not cost so much money, so there must be some money to be shared. Therefore, they clamored for the team leader to share the money.

But where will we get the money to share now? After buying a tractor, we need to save money to buy piglets next year, and we also need to buy fertilizers and seeds, otherwise what will we use to plant all the land we have opened up?

If we split up, we will have nothing to lose next year.

After knowing the whole story, the new educated youth had no choice but to give up no matter how unwilling they were.

They really didn't expect that they would be so miserable and encounter such a thing in the first year.

But because of the commotion and so many people checking work points together, a lot of time was wasted, so everyone was delayed.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that nothing happened at this time, otherwise I would have wasted so much time and would have been scolded to death.

Of course, the situation is not much better now. No one in their team said anything about not getting any money, so why should they question it?

The people in the Red Star Brigade were not very happy about distributing the money to the educated youth in the first place. Now, after this commotion, the Red Star Brigade’s impression of the educated youth has become extremely bad, including the old ones.

If it were the old educated youth who came now, the people from the Red Star Brigade would not only not gossip with them, but would also be lucky not to be sarcastic and scold them.

The reason why he was so friendly to them was because Xiao Xuemu helped him buy the piglets, and he would need their help again next year.

From this perspective, they have also made contributions, but those people have made nothing but useless contributions, which are no different from those who just robbed people.

In fact, the year Wei Wei and her companions first arrived, the seven of them and those filthy people from the Red Star Brigade at the Youth Educatorate Institute all knew about it.

I also knew that they were almost breaking up, otherwise they would not have eaten at the team leader's house instead of at the educated youth's house at the beginning.

Therefore, the people from the Red Star Brigade separated them from those from the Educated Youth Institute from the very beginning and did not talk to them together.

Of course, if Xiao Xuemu had not helped the team buy piglets, they might not have been separated or treated differently.
