As expected by Yu Zhengjun, a week before New Year's Eve, the village chief asked each family to send a representative to share the food and money.

The person in charge of the notification shouted towards the Yu family's yard: "Old Yu, go to the village chief's house! The food is distributed!"

"I'll be right there!"

Yu Zhengjun quickly put down the half-knitted bamboo basket in his hand, stood up and wiped the handle.

"Dad! I'll go with you!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Yuejin rushed over from his room, looking forward to it.

Yu Zhengjun glanced at him and nodded: "Okay, then you can come together."

An Nian stood up slightly and saw the two people leaving through the window.

"Seriously."

Yu Luyuan reminded her with a smile.

An Nian hurriedly sat back and continued reading. Four days were enough for her to develop a good habit of obedience.

However, her mind was no longer on the book at the moment. After a while, An Nian turned to look at Yu Luyuan and asked curiously.

"Brother, don't you go and take a look?"

Yu Luyuan didn't even raise his head: "No need to go, it's almost the same every year."

"Isn't it lively?" An Nian raised her chin and looked at him, "It should be a very happy thing to share money and food."

"It's not as simple as you think." Yu Luyuan didn't want to offend her. Seeing her curiosity, he stopped flipping through the book. "Money and work points are linked, and every year everyone has a big quarrel because of this."

There are also some who get into fights.

"Huh?" An Nian raised his ears and listened carefully.

Yu Luyuan knew that she had only immersed herself in work before and didn't understand these things, so he simply turned around and started to tell her in detail.

“Every year after the autumn harvest of grain in our village, we need to pay the public grain first, and then reserve the grain needed for next year, and the remaining part can be distributed within the production team.

Our village is relatively simple. The village chief concurrently serves as the leader of the production team. Several team leaders are also very obedient. Basically, the village chief has the final say. "

"Uncle Liu is so awesome."

An Nian sighed, she didn't expect Uncle Liu, who looked honest and honest, to be so capable.

"Well, Uncle Liu is a fair man, and everyone obeys him." Yu Luyuan smiled and nodded, "In previous years, we distributed food according to the principle of seven labors and three labors for each person, and it should be the same this year."

“What does it mean to work seven times and do three things?”

Yu Luyuan explained:

"The population of each household in the village is different. Some households have more than a dozen people, while others may have only five or six people.

But these people do not mean that they are all laborers. It is very likely that a family of five people will have five laborers, and a family of ten people will have only three laborers.

In order to reflect fairness, the village will distribute [-]% of the grain evenly to ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

The remaining [-]% will be distributed according to work points, and whoever does more will get more points. "

An Nian nodded: "I understand. But what we are talking about here is food? I heard my parents said before that the village will also divide the money."

"Well, that's another one."

Yu Luyuan saw that the way she tilted her head to look at him was really cute, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to press her head, with a smile in his voice.

"The grain output in our village has always been relatively high. After paying the public grain, retaining grain seeds, and dividing the rations, there will basically be some leftover.

The remaining grain can be sold to grain stations at market prices, thus generating an income.

The income will also be distributed according to work points. Basically, one person can get about ten yuan. "

"How little..." An Nian's mouth moved, "Have you worked hard for a whole year and only got ten yuan?"

"It's pretty good. There was a famine in the early years, and everyone didn't have enough to eat. Not to mention the money, there was no food to eat."

An Nian didn't even know how the folks in Lu'an Village managed to survive in the early years as mentioned by Lu Yuan.

Why are they still passionate about this country despite not having enough to eat?

What an amazing group of people.

"Okay, don't delay reading. Where did you see? Is there anything you don't understand?"

An Nian quickly came to his senses: "Yes, brother, please help me look at this chemical formula. I don't understand it very well."

"it is good."

Yu Luyuan sat next to her and began to explain in detail.

In just four days, Yu Luyuan had already witnessed the terrifying learning ability of his little wife.

She has an excellent memory and has a photographic memory of liberal arts knowledge.His understanding ability is also very strong. As long as he teaches science knowledge points once, An Nian can quickly learn them.

This also gave Yu Luyuan a sense of crisis. He originally planned to read some military books but reviewed his previous knowledge again.

Not to mention, the addition of physical knowledge gave Yu Luyuan another layer of understanding about shooting and firearms.

-

Yu Zhengjun and Yu Yuejin spent a whole day there, and they came back exhausted after the Yu family's dinner was served.

"Hurry, hurry! You're hungry."

Hearing their voices, Li Youmei put down her bowls and chopsticks and quickly started loading the rice.

An Nian also went to help serve the bowls.

Yu Zhengjun and Yu Yuejin sat down and started eating. After their twitching stomachs had eased, they had the strength to speak.

Yu Zhengjun sighed:

"It was such a farce today. The old Lu family and the old Zhang family almost started fighting again."

"Why do they make trouble every year?"

Li Youmei rolled her eyes, obviously she was used to this kind of thing.

Only An Nian looked at his father-in-law curiously and listened carefully to the gossip.

"Well, it's not a matter of dividing the money. There are 20 people in the old Lu family, and they only have 2 strong laborers, but the per capita rations and money are much more. The old Zhang family has 2 people, 2 strong laborers, but only their money and food one tenth.

It happened that the two families were next to each other in a responsible manner, and the two old Lu family members could clearly see the hard work they did every day for the old Zhang family. "

An Nian's eyes widened in surprise, and he moved closer to Lu Yuan, whispering.

"Brother, actually this equal division is quite unfair, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Yu Luyuan nodded lightly, "It really dampens everyone's enthusiasm for work."

An Nian frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "I always feel that this distribution method is unscientific and will not last long..."

An Nian has an outsider's perspective in this era. She does not comment on what people call communism, but judging from the current average distribution method, it is actually very unfair to those who are actively working.

Why can't I get as much food and money as others who work hard?

An Nian thought about it for a moment. If it were him, no matter what happened this year, he would definitely not work so hard from next year on.

Playing badly and fighting hard will yield the same result.

Of course it's a mess, how easy it is.

Yu Luyuan didn't answer her words, but he couldn't help but vote in favor.

-

The family finished their meal and did not disperse.

After the dining table was wiped clean, Yu Zhengjun piled the food stamps and money he received today on the table.

He counted Yu Yuejin's among them and pushed them in front of him.

"Thank you, dad!" Yu Yuejin happily lowered his head and counted.

Yu Zhengjun counted out three hundred kilograms of food stamps and ten yuan from inside: "Nian Nian, this is yours."

"Me too?" An Nian was startled.

"Of course you do! Your work points last year were all full." Yu Zhengjun nodded affirmatively.

Yu Yuejin also raised his head and looked over: "Sister-in-law, I almost had a fight with An Daqing in order to snatch this money from the An family."

"Ah, it's really hard work. Come on, I'll give you my sister-in-law's ten yuan."

An Nian was not short of money, so he handed over the money he received with a smile.

Yu Yuejin reached out to take it.

"Snapped!"

As soon as he stretched his hand halfway, he was slapped by Li Youmei with the tip of his chopsticks.

"You are so brave, you dare to take your sister-in-law's money."

"Hiss!" Yu Yuejin gasped in pain, and the back of his hand was red. "Oh my god, you are really my biological mother. It doesn't hurt at all to hit me!"

"I feel so bad for you. You just need to be dealt with!" Li Youmei glared.

Yu Yuejin felt extremely wronged: "I was just joking with my sister-in-law."

"Are you kidding?!" Li Youmei wanted to slap him again.

An Nian quickly stopped:

"Mom, I really want to give this money to Yuejin. You know, I still have a lot of money on hand, and I don't need it.

Isn’t Yuejin getting married soon?With more money on his hands, he can arrange the wedding better. "

"It's okay. Nian Nian, just keep your money. You don't have to worry about the wedding, your parents are here."

Li Youmei didn't expect that she wanted to divide her money because of this, and she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

"We are a family. If Yuejin wants to get married, my eldest brother and I should contribute a share."

While saying that, An Nian also pulled Yu Luyuan beside him under the table.

Yu Luyuan grabbed her finger with his backhand, placed it in his palm and rubbed it carefully. The expression on his face was still calm, but he still spoke to help according to her wishes.

"Mom, Niannian and I have the same idea. The ten yuan will either be given to Yuejin or to you."

Li Youmei quickly shook her head and refused:

"No, no, Mom can't have it! You have already spent a lot of money on the house, and this house was built with your allowance."

"I am the eldest son in the family, so building a house is what I should do."

Yu Luyuan said with a smile.

"Mom, don't refuse in a hurry. Yuejin is 23 this year, and my younger sister and I are both married. It's really unreasonable not to help him.

Chen Xiaocui has been waiting for Yuejin for several years. If it is not settled, her parents will probably force her to marry someone else. "

When Yu Yuejin heard this, his hair stood up: "Cui Cui said she only likes me!"

Yu Luyuan smiled and said nothing, but looked at Li Youmei quietly: "Mom, what do you think?"

Li Youmei was confused. She and the old man really didn't have much money.

Before anyone else could speak, Yu Yuejin was the first to lose his hold.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I really don't need your money. I actually took a job... I can go there after the Chinese New Year. I can earn at least dozens of dollars for a trip."

"What kind of job?" Upon hearing what he said, everyone sat down.

Being looked at by his family members with such cautious eyes, Yu Yuejin moved his butt uncomfortably.

"Just helping someone deliver a load... Doesn't Chengzi from the next village work for the county's transportation team?

Their team was too busy during the Spring Festival and didn't have enough manpower, so they wanted me to work as a temporary worker. "

"Can you drive?" Yu Luyuan frowned.

Yu Yuejin shook his head blankly: "I can't. But Chengzi said that you don't need to be able to drive. You just need to go on the road with him. There will be two people to look after you on the road."

Yu Luyuan understood that what the other party wanted was a car escort.

The work of the transport team is not easy to do. Ten years ago, in the 60s and [-]s, the local transport teams were all soldiers who had retired from the army. They were very skilled, and they were even equipped with guns at that time. Some people on the road were careless. If you do, you will be severely punished by them.

Things are different now. They are no longer equipped with guns. The drivers in the transportation team have all passed the exam. They can drive and repair cars, but their skills may not be good.

They drive on the road, and if they encounter someone who robs them on the road, they have no other choice.If there are few people on the other side, go all out. If there are many people on the other side, then you can only abandon your goods and cars and run for your life.

Anyway, I can definitely get the car back in the end. With such a big truck, the other party has no place to hide it.

As long as you can save your life first, everything else is easy.

All the above shows that it is very, very dangerous for a person to drive on the road in this era!

Yu Yuejin was still talking there: "Chengzi said that I can get at least 50 yuan when the bus comes down."

"What was he pulling?"

"The cotton cloth from our county's textile factory has to be sent to Haicheng Garment Factory, and there are people there who are responsible for receiving it."

"Just cotton? The money isn't right."

The rest of the Yu family didn't understand what was going on, but Yu Luyuan knew and asked to the point.

Yu Yuejin's eyes flickered, and he looked at his family with his neck curled up.

"Chengzi said that we can bring some things when we come back from Haicheng. He didn't resell them! He said that he just brought goods to people in the county, and he was paid 100 yuan for each time he brought goods.

This is the invisible income of their transportation team. Everyone knows it, but it is not stated openly.

If their team wasn't really short of manpower this time, he wouldn't have told me and asked me to make money too.

Chengzi also wants to help me! "

Noticing that everyone's eyes were getting more and more serious, Yu Yuejin panicked a little and looked at his elder brother for help.

"Brother! I really want to go! Not only do I want to make money, I also want to go out and have a look. I have never been far away.

Chengzi said that Haicheng is very prosperous over there, and I really want to see it. "

He is only in his 20s, his eyes are still clear and bright, and he is full of curiosity about the outside world.

"I can only go out for a few days during the Spring Festival. After that, spring plowing will begin, and things will become more and more complicated. I..."

When Yu Yuejin said this, he couldn't go on anymore. He buried his head deeply and his voice became low.

"If you all don't agree, then forget it...I...I'll stay at home..."

For some reason, An Nian's nose felt a little sore listening to his low voice.

This era has restricted the wings of too many people, and they may never leave the villages they are familiar with in their entire lives.

When they were young, they still longed to "fly". As time went by, they had families, children, and heavy pressure, and those longings became dusty memories.

"Brother, is it true that Yuejin can't go? In fact, it's good to go out and have a look, right?"

An Nian bit her lip and looked at Yu Luyuan pleadingly.

Yu Luyuan looked down at her, and then sighed softly for a long time, then raised his head and looked around at the rest of the family.

My father and mother also looked a little unbearable, but they didn't speak.

The younger brother buried his head deeply, as if he was in despair.

Yu Luyuan thought for a moment, looked at his younger brother, and said, "I'll go with you."

"What?" Yu Yuejin raised his head suddenly.

Everyone could see his eyes clearly, they were very red, and they didn't know if he had cried secretly just now.

"I don't trust you and Chengzi to go out. Neither of you has much experience and skills. If you are in danger, it will be difficult to protect yourself, let alone make the 50 yuan you want."

"But brother, aren't you going back to the army?"
