I'm sorry, I can't serve you all.

Chapter 137 The Acceptance Criteria Should Be Lowered

"76 catties." The young man said.

"Ah? Yes, it's only 76 catties. I pulled 160 catties." The old man stammered.

The beer belly frowned and said impatiently: "It doesn't matter whether you pull 200 catties or 300 catties. If the quality of the grain is not good, there is nothing to do. You can already pull the full grains over."

"This, this is already the fullest. My wheat seeds are all separated from these."

"What do you mean by that? It was built by the windmill, and the windmill was also assigned by the higher-ups. It's all based on this standard. If you have any opinions, tell the higher-ups."

"No, no problem. I'll bring the rest tomorrow." The old man said hastily.

Jinyue leaned over and looked, the wheat that felled was also very full, why, the common people can eat it, but they can't?
"Clean up quickly, next one." The young man shouted.

Seeing the old man kneeling in front of the wheat, wiping his sweat and stuffing it into his pockets, Jinyue felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked Su Shu to line up and go to help the old man.

The old man gratefully thanked him several times.

There were two halves of the bag when I came here, and there was almost one bag left when I went back. The old man fumbled in his trouser pocket, took out the halves of the hemp rope, tied several knots, and managed to make it into a longer rope.

Before tying the pocket, he didn't forget to tug on the rope to make sure it was well knotted.

Seeing the figure of the old man hunched over and walking away, Jin Yuexin twitched several times.

She wondered about his family situation, his family.

Maybe he is a widowed old man, or maybe he has a son who needs to be taken care of. In short, there must be something hard to say about an old man who has come all the way to pay the public rations.

Suddenly, she caught up and called the old man to stop, saying that there was only thirty catties left, there was no need to make an extra trip, and she would pay for him first.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then he waved his hand and said that would not work, I handed over your grain, so what should you do.

Jinyue thought to herself: With such a weird standard, I estimate that two-thirds of it will be knocked down, and I must run it a second time.

But what she said was: "It's okay, I have to come to the town to do some errands tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I'll hand it in by the way."

The old man scratched his head and said, "That still doesn't work, I have to go to your house to pay back the food."

Jinyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not in a hurry, this year, next year, the year after next, anytime is fine."

Jinyue still wants to say: It's okay even if you don't pay it back, I just wanted to help you.

The old man opened his small eyes full of wrinkles, thought for a long time and finally agreed.

The second person to hand in the grain is already weighing.

Hearing that someone was going to pay the old man's food, the two staff members looked at Jinyue several times.

Although Jinyue has never been good at making eye contact with men, but at this moment she boldly met their eyes.It seems to be saying: Yes, it's me, how about it, isn't it a heroine?

The beer belly frowned as soon as Jinyue's food pocket was opened.

He grabbed a handful and put it in front of Jinyue, saying, "Look, look, what are you bringing?"

Jinyue is already scolding her mother in her heart, what is it that you can't see?Are you blind?

She said blankly, "Food."

The beer belly was obviously irritated by Jinyue's attitude.

"Have you never lived here, or your family has never paid public grain, and this is what you have to pay? Why do you have to pay for others? Aren't you doing harm?"

The old man hurriedly said that he would not pay it, and he would bring the rest tomorrow.

Jinyue stood in front of the old man and asked, "Is there any question?"

The beer belly looked at Jinyue angrily, and asked, "Which village are you from?"

"Fan Wan."

"Fanwan, is that the village whose surname is Liu?"

"Liu Jie." The young man added.

"Yes, yes, didn't he tell you how to pay the public rations?"

To Jinyue, this sentence is as annoying as scolding the other party "Didn't your parents teach you?"

She said angrily, "I think this food is fine."

"No problem? Let me ask you, is this your new food this year?"

"no."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Why do you need new food for the public ration? Is it last year's food that you can't eat?"

"You..." The beer belly seemed to be getting bigger with anger.

"Is it because your family's food is thrown away every year when you can't finish it? If not, why can't you hand over the old food? The people regard food as their paramount priority, food as their first priority, safety as their foundation, and quality as their root. These You people should know the truth better than us." Jinyue said calmly.

The beer belly was stunned, he really didn't expect to meet a woman who could say such a thing in this place, so he couldn't help but look at Jinyue twice more.

The young man was also surprised and didn't move for a long time.

The others present were completely stunned.

After a while, the crowd began to buzz and discuss.

"Yeah, why can't you pay the old grain?"

"Shouldn't the acceptance criteria be lowered?"

"The harvest was not good at first, and most of the food was handed in."

The beer belly yelled at the crowd angrily: "What do you all want? I still say the same thing, if you are not satisfied, tell the higher-ups."

Then he looked at Jinyue again, and said, "I will reflect what you said, but today I must follow the requirements."

"This old man is only thirty catties short, can't he get it from these?" Jinyue pointed to the old man's shelf car.

"These were laid down just now, and they don't meet the standard."

"Then you let him run twice in the hot weather? Who will be responsible if there is an accident along the way?"

The beer belly said impatiently: "What are you talking about? Who do you think you can change the above standards at will?"

Jinyue also glared: "I'm just seeking truth from facts. Standards are dead, but people are alive. A person who truly serves the people will not just implement the standards, but will adjust the standards according to the actual situation."

"I don't have that much ability, you can do it if you have the ability."

Jinyue really wants to say, if I'm really in this position, I'm not necessarily inferior to you.

At this time, Yu Heizi and Taohua's eldest daughter came in with a shelf cart.

Yu Heizi's face, soaked in sweat, looked oily and shiny, while Taohua's eldest daughter, who was probably in her teens, was also struggling to push the cart, her bangs sticking to her forehead wetly.

Yu Heizi obviously saw Jinyue too, and greeted him with a smile from afar.

Jinyue thought that he might be able to help, so she explained the situation.

Yu Heizi immediately agreed, saying that thirty or forty catties should be no problem. He used to pay the public grain once a year, but this year he only dried it twice. He was afraid that it would not be dry enough, so he brought an extra hundred catties.

The problem was solved, and the old man left with gratitude.

That day, many people handed over the rations, only Jinyue's rations were taken back intact, but Yu Heizi helped her pull them, and Peach Blossom's eldest daughter sat on the rations.

Su Shu pulled the empty cart.

Because of this, Su Lao Er was still a little unhappy. He said that he had said several times that the food was not good, but Jinyue still didn't listen.
