This year's work points are one cent more than last year's.

Don't underestimate this dime. A family can basically earn more than ten yuan a year.

Everyone had a smile on their face. After dividing the food, they counted the money. Before the New Year pig was slaughtered, each family shared the pork. They thought they could share some more fish in the afternoon. This year, there will be no more abundance. .

Gu Zhiyuan's household registration has been transferred to the county machinery factory, and all the work points he earned before have been transferred to Xu Ningyan's name.

Xu Ningyan received full work points every day. Although she was the only one working there, it was still a lot.

In exchange for grain, she exchanged more than half of the fine grain, rice and noodles, and a small half of the coarse grain.

The remaining work points were converted into about twenty yuan.

Although it is not as good as other families, this is only her work share, and no one in the village can compare with it.

The work points of the educated youths are still calculated in the final calculation. They are not as good at work as the villagers. Except for a few educated youths who have been in the countryside for many years, for the rest of the people, their work points throughout the year are good if they can live without going hungry.

This year, I gained a lot of work points by going to the mountains to pick wild products, medicinal materials, and so on.

After all, even for the few female educated youths who received the least work points, if the ratio of coarse grains to fine grains was [-]%, the grains would be divided dozens of kilograms more than last year, and each of them would still receive two yuan and seventy cents.

Although there are only a few dozen more kilograms of grain, it can make them fuller, not to mention they can get money.

Several female educated youths could hardly believe their ears. After taking the money, they pinched their arms for fear that they were dreaming.

After finally being convinced, he held the food and burst into tears.

The expressions of other educated youths were even more complicated.

Xu Ningyan and Gu Zhiyuan got jobs one after another before, and they were not jealous.

How can a gangster or a country girl compare to them?They all have such good luck.

How come they, these educated youths from the city, with their upright talents and upright talents, are not as good as them?

Now looking at the extra food and money in their hands, I have to admit that they are indeed inferior to others.

Immediately, the jealousy was reduced by [-] to [-]%, and each of them silently picked up his own food and returned to the educated youth spot.

After everyone dispersed, the team leader and party secretary carried several kilograms of bacon and a pig's trotter to Xu Ningyan's courtyard.

I just said that the bacon and pig's trotters were given to the two of them by the brigade before.

But the two of them didn't come back, so they helped pickle and dry the bacon and pig's trotters. Now that they are back, they will naturally give them to them.

Xu Ningyan looked at the bacon and pig's trotters and knew that her work points would not be so much. This was the subsidy given to her by the brigade, so she accepted it.

The team leader and party secretary were also very busy, and they had to arrange the manpower to catch fish in the afternoon. I heard that the two of them would not leave until the fifth and sixth day of the new year, so they felt relieved. Anyway, there was still a lot of time, and some of them were in a hurry while talking. After explaining a few words, he left.

After lunch, the village became lively.

Adults, children, and the elderly who were warming themselves by the fire at home all walked out of their homes and came to the big weir pond in the village.

The two large weirs and ponds are not far apart, and the water has almost been released, revealing a thick layer of silt.

This silt is also a good thing. It will be cleared out and transported to the fields. It will be a good base fertilizer.

Now only the deepest part of the water is left, and there is still water up to the waist of the knee, and the other places are exposed.

In addition to the mud, there are also stones, broken lotus leaf stalks, dead aquatic plants, and of course more fish.

In the weir pond that has not been used for several years, in addition to carp with a fat belly, grass carp as long as a person's arm, and grass carp that cannot be seen in the mud, there are also small crucian carp as big as a palm and some wild miscellaneous fish that cannot be named. .

There are even loaches, eels, soft-shell turtles, clam shells, and turtles.

Adult men and half-grown boys all went down to the weir and pond, with their trousers rolled up to their thighs, each holding a basket or basket.

A half-grown boy was catching fish in the mud. The men took baskets to the water and saw grass carp and black fish still swimming in the water.

The fish's tail flapped wildly, and mud and water splashed onto the man's clothes and face.

No one cares about wiping, and throws the fish one by one into the basket, and then transports them to the shore.

The shore was surrounded by people, including lesbians holding children, older girls and younger wives, and old people holding their children. They were afraid that these monkeys might accidentally sneak into the weir and pond to play in their cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

When they see a big fish, people on the shore will scream in surprise and instruct people in the water to chase and intercept it.

There are also young and strong lesbians who feel that they are not afraid of the cold and jump into the weirs and ponds to fish.

They did not go into deep water, but only touched crucian carp in the mud on the shore. Within a short time, they could touch half a basket of crucian carp, all of which were as big as a palm or as long as a chopstick.

This kind of crucian carp is the most delicious, with sweet meat. It can be eaten in soup, braised in braise or half-dried in the sun and pan-fried. Add chili and vinegar to make it spicy with rice.

At this time, no one eats the soft-shelled turtles and turtles. They are all disgusting and throw them aside when they see them.

Xu Ningyan, on the other hand, was interested in a soft-shelled turtle. This was a wild soft-shelled turtle, a good thing that would not be available at a high price in future generations.

Braised soft-shell turtle and stewed with shiitake mushrooms make me drool just thinking about it.

Gu Zhiyuan, who couldn't help but fish with him below, asked for one.

Gu Zhiyuan wore a sweater on top, a jacket on top, and a pair of trousers rolled up to the top of his legs. Because his legs were taller, standing in the mud, even if he was splashed with mud and water by fish, he looked very different. .

Standing out from the crowd is obvious.

I was a little unfamiliar with fishing at the beginning, but I quickly got the hang of it and caught fish quickly and steadily.

Hearing that Xu Ningyan wanted to eat this, he didn't ask much. He put down the basket and stopped catching fish, and went to catch soft-shell turtles.

When everyone touches turtles and turtles in the mud, they will throw them to a dry place on the shore to avoid being bitten by accident. These turtles and turtles will not let go easily if they bite people.

Gu Zhiyuan picked two soft-shell turtles and a turtle, pulled the dry weeds on the shore and tied them before handing them to Xu Ningyan.

The other younger children thought that Xu Ningyan wanted to play with turtles and turtles, so they all came up with ideas.

It is said that if you turn the turtle over and hold it down with rocks, it will not be able to turn over. In summer, the turtle will soon be sunburned to death. Then you can play with the turtle shell.

Children in the countryside don't eat turtles and soft-shelled turtles, and they always play with them like this when they encounter them.

Xu Ningyan felt complicated. She looked at these children and dealt with them with a few vague words.

He looked down at the two soft-shell turtles as big as a bowl and a turtle as big as a basin in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

The people around were extremely lively, and those fishing for fish below did not feel cold even if they were standing in the cold mud and water.

Not to mention the people on the shore, they were even more excited when they saw baskets of fish being caught.

Some people are already mentally calculating how much fish each family can share.
