The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Lu Mingzheng was stunned for a moment, turned to look at him, and then looked at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Why do you think they ran out from behind the gate just now?

Was it because he saw the two of them talking that he didn't come out?

Strangely discerning.

Zhu Xiaomin obviously saw it too. She glanced at Chen Xudong and got a bright smile from him, so she had to get in the car silently.

After seeing Lu Mingzheng off, the tractor left the county directly and drove towards the town.

Chen Xiaodong sat leaning against a stack of sacks, glancing at Zhu Xiaomin from time to time, and the corners of his lips unconsciously evoked a big aunt's smile.

Zhu Xiaomin felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and finally glared back.

Chen Xudong couldn't help laughing, nodded and said: "Sister Xiaomin, in fact, not only Brother Lu, but all of us also feel that you treat him differently from us. You really have to think about it."

Of course it’s different!

Zhu Xiaomin’s brain hurts.

Even if she lives a new life, even if she has the mentality of an old lady, after all, Lu Mingzheng and her have been husband and wife for more than ten years, and they have had some quarrels and have a child. They can't look at them the same way. They are all looking at their own juniors.

But now, she herself doesn't know, because of this difference, what does her attitude towards Lu Mingzheng mean in the eyes of him or others?

Zhu Xiaomin sighed, rubbed her temples and ignored him.

The tractor stopped at the edge of the threshing floor, and the women shelling sunflower seeds smiled and greeted the two.

Zhu Xiaomin jumped out of the car and responded one by one. Seeing that Sister-in-law Chen was there, she smiled and said, "Why did Sister-in-law Chen come out today?"

Sister-in-law Chen has a pair of skillful hands, but unfortunately she is not in good health and cannot do forced labor. She only relies on mending clothes for others in exchange for food to supplement the family income.

Sister-in-law Chen smiled: "It's not hot these days, and I can do the work here, so I came over."

Aunt Huang Liu next to her smiled: "Girl Xiaomin, your sister-in-law Chen comes here often. It's because you were busy on the mountain that you didn't see her."

It is not every day that people from Liushu Village come here. A group of more than 20 women from the natural village come in three groups and take turns.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. I've been in the mountains all day long, and I almost forgot about the days."

After chatting with everyone for a while, someone from the brigade headquarters had already come down to help pick out the crumb cakes. Zhu Xiaomin said hello and went back with him.

Chen Xudong went to the finance department to pay the accounts and took his people back to the base, but Zhu Xiaomin went to Gu Mancang's office.

Because the harvesting of peaches and sunflower seeds had come to an end, Gu Mancang waved to her immediately when he saw her: "I wish you an educated youth, come in quickly." He poured her a glass of water and asked about the wool first.

Zhu Xiaomin said with a smile: "I was just about to say this." The price of the wool was decided last time. This time I only mentioned the specific weight. After that, he took out the cloth and cotton coupons given by Yan Yimin and said, " This is some tickets to supplement us in addition to money. I haven’t sent it to the finance department yet, but I want to ask the secretary first how we plan to divide the food and money in the team this year.”

"How to divide what?" Gu Mancang didn't understand.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Secretary, our brigade is now divided into two types of work points. One is the original production task, which is recorded as the brigade's work points, and the other is the sideline business of the base, which is recorded as the base's work points. The output of the base is currently Everything has been converted into money. At the end of the year, the food and money will be divided. Has the secretary considered how to divide it?"

Gu Mancang said: "The most convenient thing is that the base is divided into bases and the brigade is divided into brigade."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "But last year's dates and some fruits with a small output this year are also divided per head. Those are all output of the base."

Gu Mancang was a little unhappy: "Zhu Zhiqing, if the base can be built, it must have the support of the brigade. Besides, planting fruit trees was also included in the overall task. Isn't it bad to separate them too clearly?"

Only the later maintenance of the fruit trees is combined with the tasks of the base.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Of course, our first team is a whole and should not be separated."

From what I heard, it didn't sound like they were going to be divided.

Gu Mancang was suspicious: "What do you mean..."

Zhu Xiaomin counted on his fingers: "Our base was built last year, and a lot of it was paid for or even borrowed by the brigade. If we make money this year, we have to fill in the account first."

He liked to hear this.

Gu Mancang nodded immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin added: "Also, afforestation is the task of the entire team, but it does not produce food. These people only get the food divided by the team's work points, which is not appropriate."

Gu Mancang nodded again.

Zhu Xiaomin concluded: "So, if everyone divides their work, more or less, there will be many people picking up jobs next year."

At any time, there are some cheaters.

Gu Mancang nodded again: "Then what do you mean..."

Zhu Xiaomin sighed: "I think that the work points of both sides should be calculated together, and the grain should be calculated as before. In addition to making up for the gap last year, the money will also leave a part of the future development fund, and the rest will be divided according to the work points just like the grain."

In the era of big pot rice, this kind of division is the least controversial.

Gu Mancang nodded and said to himself: "We have discussed it before, but we are afraid that you will not agree."

Just a rough calculation shows that the base's income has reached more than 40,000, and a large team of strong laborers only has more than 300 people. After a rough calculation, one person can actually get a hundred, which is really an astonishing number.

Even in the city, most families cannot save so much money throughout the year.

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "Didn't I just say that the construction of the base cannot be separated from the support of the brigade, and it is impossible to distinguish clearly. But, what I want to talk about is these coupons."

"Coupon? What happened to the coupon?" Gu Mancang asked.

For him, food and money are the bulk items, so there is no problem with either of them. What's the problem with these coupons?

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Secretary, the things we didn't produce much before, such as last year's dates and this year's fruits, were all divided per head, one or two pounds per person, right?"

Gu Mancang nodded helplessly: "The team has also studied it, but it is not appropriate to only give points to people at the base."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "It's true that it's not easy to calculate the food clearly. But in this way, those who have been working at the base for a long time will inevitably have some complaints. If they do this, we are afraid that we will not be able to employ people next year."

Apart from anything else, during these hours, whether it was going up to the mountains to pick peaches or picking sunflower cakes at the base, nothing could be done without anyone.

Gu Mancang nodded immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin pointed to a stack of tickets on the table and said, "So, with these tickets, I want to win benefits for the people at the base."

"You mean, these tickets are only for people at the base? However, the production teams from several nearby villages are also working for the base." Gu Mancang said immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I want to divide it into two parts. One part will be paid according to the work points of the base. Later we will calculate how many base work points are used for one foot of cloth ticket. The other part will be given to the brigade. The brigade has marked the price. Who wants to use the money? Buy or exchange for food.”
