Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 182 New tricks

The production team's autumn grain allocation plan is similar to that of summer grain. Half of the public grain tasks must be completed before they can be allocated to commune members.

Then pay the surplus grain, followed by over-purchased grain.Some also have support food, contribution food...

After these are completed, the production team will make a pre-distribution plan and get approval from the brigade and the commune before the real distribution of food will start.

However, the Loess Plateau has experienced nine droughts in ten years, and many villages in the Shigejie Commune eat resale grain every year, and there is little chance of paying overbought grain.

Unless some production team leaders want to make money and report big numbers... Don't say it, someone really does that.

As a result, the other party was highly affirmed, successfully elected as an advanced production team leader, and was highly praised by the commune broadcast.Then the man got a certificate of merit, a white towel, and an enamel teacup with the word "Award" printed on it.

After this incident, the members of the village did not say anything.

However, Wang Manyin heard that the crops were confiscated from the private land of the production team leader's family.Whenever the crops grow knee-deep, most of them will be destroyed by people secretly using sickles at night.

As a result, the mother-in-law and aunt scolded her husband frequently, and kept saying good things to the villagers.

Until the other party resigns from the position of production team leader, it is considered to keep the crops on the private plot.

With a few thousand catties of rice as the base, the second team's autumn grain task this year will soon be half completed.In everyone's anticipation, the second wave of pre-distribution food began.

This time it was Mizi Guzi, and the whole process was also under the supervision of Director Zhao.

Wang Manyin's family shared 30 catties and easily carried it home with one hand.

After a while, they will be divided into corn, sorghum, potatoes... until the end of the year for final accounts.

In the past nine months from the end of the new year to now, Wang Manyin has earned more than 1700 work points in total, which is about one-third less than other labors.

By the end of the year, it is estimated that 2000 work points will be considered good.

The main reason is that he asks for a lot of leave, and he takes rest on rainy days, so he can't earn work points either.

Full-time 3600 points, except for breeders, shepherds and other special types of work, few people can get so much.

Of course, the village cadres are an exception, and they get hundreds of additional subsidy work points every year.

Speaking of which, the more than 1700 work points are the result of Wang Lianshun's care.If Wang Manyin hadn't taken care of the rice fields for more than two months, the work points would have been even less.

As for Lan Hua, she didn't earn a single work point this year.

By the end of the year, the couple will definitely belong to the money-finding households.

And orchids can only be allocated basic rations.

Calculated according to "seven people work three times", Qicheng's grain is about 252 catties.

At present, the food received by Wang Manyin's family is divided in advance, and when the final accounts are settled at the end of the year, it needs to be paid, and it is calculated according to the stipulated par food price, which is also called ration payment.

For example, wheat costs [-] cents a catty, and corn costs [-] cents a catty.

If these grains are sold on the black market, the price will double immediately... So Wang Manyin's family can also be regarded as the wool of the team.

According to the calculations in previous years, more than 200 catties of rations, plus the usual distribution of mutton, cooking oil and other supplies, probably need to make up more than 20 yuan.

For Lanhua now, she really didn't take this little money seriously.In early summer, the couple earned more than 100 yuan just by taking rhubarb and catching scorpions.

Of course, if she joined a tailor club to earn money as a tailor, she would be working as a farmer, and she would need to pay for work points.

Correspondingly, the ration can be divided into 360 catties.

***
Once the corn and sorghum enter the field, the autumn harvest will come to an end, and the laborers in the village will become much more relaxed.

If you ask for leave at this time, no one will say anything.

Wang Manyin came back from the supply and marketing agency to deliver goods, seeing that the time was still early, he called Da Huang and wandered all the way to Dongshanmao.

Not long ago, it seemed that the dog-beating incident had passed, and the villagers brought back their native dogs one after another.

Of course, I am afraid that these guys will run around and ruin the crops, so most of them are currently locked up in the courtyard.

The same is true for Wang Manyin.After he released the rhubarb from the space, he kept it tied to the dung pile, and only spread it when it was dark.

I have free time today, so I just took this guy out for a walk.

After regaining his freedom, Rhubarb was very excited and kept jumping around his master left and right.

After harvesting more than ten acres of rice in Dongshanmao, the cliff ditch became much more empty.But in case someone steals the fish, Liu Xiangyang and Wang Fuchang still live in the grass shed.

When he came to the rice field, Rhubarb lowered his head and sniffed.

Soon, a flock of quail was startled.

Although the rice field was dug by the group of brats, some remnants of rice grains and bugs could still be found.Therefore, there are a lot of quail living inside.

But these guys can't stay in the north for too long. In ten days and a half months, they will probably fly to the south for the winter.

In addition, without the cooperation of peregrine falcons, rhubarb's hunting effect is greatly reduced.

After chasing three groups of quails one after another, it finally got something. Meizizi ran to the owner with a prey in her mouth to show off.

After Wang Manyin stroked the dog's head and praised it, he turned the road and walked towards a nearby mountain ridge.

Most of the mountain ridges in Dongshanmao are steep, and few people usually climb up.Only idlers like Wang Manyin would do such boring things.

He climbed up to the top along the path with rhubarb, and released the peregrine falcon from the space.Then, I found a sunny Gelao and lay down halfway to get warm.

As the weather gets colder, the cry of frogs can hardly be heard in the Dongla River.Of course, in space, of course, the croaking is still the same, even louder than the previous days.

In just a few months, those little tadpoles have grown into little frogs and started to catch pests in the fields.

Of course, they are now also prey.

More than a dozen wild ducks raised by Wang Manyin have grown to a weight of half a catty. Now they have left the embrace of the hen and are trying to find food in the space by themselves.

For these guys, he intends to adopt a semi-free range mode for the time being.

For this reason, Wang Manyin deliberately made a huge wicker cage by the water, and put more than a dozen ducks into it after cutting their wings.

In this way, they can peck the fish and shrimp in the water at any time, which saves the trouble of feeding.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the autumn wind is howling.

The freed peregrine falcon keeps circling overhead, seeming to merge with the blue sky.

Wang Manyin was lying half-recumbent like this, under the warm sun, but found a bit of the lazy feeling of his predecessor.

From afar, I heard Xintianyou's voices coming from the mountain plateau opposite the Dongla River.

"There are mountains and slopes, and there is a lot of bitterness for those who stop the sheep. The lambs kneel down and have milk, but the people who stop the sheep have nothing to say..." No need to look at the person, Wang Manyin knew that it was the old man Du from Shichuan Village who was singing.

This old man's broken voice is very recognizable, and he sings Xin Tianyou very well.In the sound, people can hear the indescribable sadness, melancholy and sorrow.

After listening for a while, he felt his eyes moist.

There are thousands of sufferings in the world, but the suffering is the sufferer.

There is a saying in the Loess Plateau that is very reasonable, "Xintian You can't stop his head, but if he dies, the poor can't relieve their sorrows."

After coming to this world for almost a year, Wang Manyin gradually liked this accent.

But he can only sing, and he can't sing like others at all, mainly because he lacks the precipitation of sorrow and joy in life.

And from Wang Manyin's point of view, Xintianyou can only feel it when he sings on Geliang Liang, along the river beach.

If you stand under the spotlight of the stage, you will feel that you have lost its charm.

This old man Du is also a miserable person. When he was young, because his family was poor, he couldn't afford the bride price and was always single.Until he was almost 50 years old, he met a woman fleeing famine from other places and passed out at the entrance of his cave.

Old man Du fed the other party a few bites, and then there was a mother-in-law.He originally thought that someone would warm the bed from now on, but in the second year, after the woman gave birth to a child, she was gone.

Old man Du worked hard to raise his son, married his mother-in-law, and had a grandson... Within a few years, his son died of a serious illness.Then, the daughter-in-law ran away with a young carpenter.

Now, only their grandparents and grandchildren are left in the family.

It was precisely because of the bitterness in his heart that Old Man Du's voice was so infectious that it made people want to cry.

But there is only one old man Du who suffers on the Loess Plateau.

At the beginning, Wang Manyin held the mentality of a passer-by, thinking that the matter had nothing to do with him, and held it high, hoping to live in peace until ten years later.But after seeing a lot of things, he gradually integrated into them, hoping to do his part, so that he would not be in vain to come to this world for a while.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the voices of children not far away.

Wang Manyin turned his head and looked in the direction of Yagou, and saw Maodan and a few broken babies holding sorghum poles in their hands and fighting with each other.

"Damn, what are you doing? Didn't catch any fish today?" He sat up straight and greeted.

"Uncle Man Yin, why are you here? Come down quickly, and I'll give you something delicious." As he spoke, Maodan raised the sorghum stalk in his hand in a showy manner.

Wang Manyin yelled Rhubarb, and then quickly climbed down from the mountain ridge.

As for the peregrine falcon in the sky, don't worry about it at all.

When this guy sees other humans appearing, he will go straight back to the cave.

When they got down to the bottom of the ditch, Wang Manyin found that besides the sorghum stalks, each of the broken babies was carrying a bunch of grasshoppers.

"Uncle Man Yin, try it, it's so sweet!"

"We got it from the field..."

Seeing Wang Manyin approaching, these guys scrambled to hand over the sorghum poles.

What they hold is not ordinary sorghum stalks, but sweet sorghum stalks grown in the village.This kind of sorghum looks very similar to ordinary sorghum, but when the stalks mature, they are full of water and taste sweet, similar to southern sugarcane.

Since it was the wish of a few broken children, of course he would not refuse.

Wang Manyin reached out to take a piece with great interest, and bit the end with his mouth.Turning his head slightly, peel off the epidermis.

The white inner flesh was exposed inside, and it was sweet to chew, which really made him experience the feeling of being a child.

Eating dried sorghum is also risky. You must be careful with the outer skin. It is very sharp, and one step of caution will scratch your mouth.

But for the broken children in the village, it's not a big deal at all.

In addition to sorghum stalks, corn stalks in the field are also sweets in their mouths.

Wang Manyin also ate this when he was a child, and it tasted strangely sweet and slightly bitter.

After eating a sweet stick, Wang Manyin simply passed the dead quail in his hand to several children as a reward.The main thing is that there are too few, and I can't keep myself from lighting a fire at noon.

The Broken Babies are naturally very excited to be able to exchange a sweet stick for a quail.

They simply found some firewood in the cliff ditch, and started to roast grasshopper quail.

As for the source of the matches... which brat didn't play with fire when he was a child?These are things that are always in the pocket.

***
The corn and sorghum fields are vacated, and the next step is to plant winter wheat, rape... and harvest sweet potatoes and planed potatoes.These two kinds of crops are the latest to be harvested, as long as they enter the field before the frost.

As for the vacated fields, they can be used as spring fields.

When the potatoes and sweet potatoes are planed, the autumn harvest is officially over.

However, when the suffering people have no free time, they often have not waited to plant wheat. The upper levels have already started to notify migrant workers to build water conservancy and farmland infrastructure.

Very punctually, Director Zhao held a mobilization meeting in the village... This year, the county is planning to hold a battle for the original Xihe stone embankment revetment and land reclamation project, and each production team will send [-] to [-] laborers.

According to him, it is necessary to cut and straighten several river courses of the original West River, so that thousands of acres of fertile land can be reclaimed.

After the meeting, Wang Lianshun and Wang Fugui immediately went to Wang Manyin to discuss.

"Man Yin, according to the distribution of the white chicken shit, the second team needs [-] migrant workers. We also need to grow wheat and do the work in the field, so no one can do it. In addition, I thought about sending people to the county to work as construction workers. What should I do?"

Mentioning this matter gave Wang Lianshun a headache.He originally planned to send more people to work as construction workers after the autumn harvest, so as to earn more money for the second team, even if the loan was repaid.

Looking at the situation now, it's enough.

"If it doesn't work, I can only send a few mothers-in-law and aunts to work." Wang Fugui also responded worriedly.

Building infrastructure is a task, and the production team must complete it without any discount.

After hearing this, Wang Manyin immediately came up with an idea: "Uncle Lian Shun, who said we don't have enough manpower, don't we still have educated youth?"

Wang Lianshun's eyes lit up.

Immediately, he said hesitantly: "Those guys can do it? Besides, they are baby bumps, don't cause any trouble."

Wang Lianshun knew too well the ability of educated youths to make trouble.

Not long ago, the villages used the educated youths to hand over the grain, which made the grain station very noisy.In the end, the leader of the grain station had no choice but to issue a notice to the villages, prohibiting the educated youth from handing over grain.

And not long ago, when there was a dog-beating incident, some educated youths even used shotguns to make a big commotion in Niujiagou, which shocked even the commune.

"Even if there is any trouble, it has nothing to do with us. The educated youths in the village should be used flexibly, and they can come up with some tricks. In Yuanxi County, I saw that someone had set up an iron girl commando team. We can learn, for example, to form 'knowledge' "Youth Commando" and "Iron Girl Commando". This can show the different style of our Guanzi Village. The educated youths are educated and versatile. They can not only work on the construction site, but also perform for other migrant workers."

"Yes, Director Zhao likes this kind of fancy stuff. As long as he reports it, he will definitely be willing to take the educated youth there." Wang Fugui's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Wang Lianshun was even more satisfied.

He now regards Wang Manyin as a dog-headed military adviser, no matter what problems he encounters, there will always be a solution here.

After the discussion, Wang Lianshun said again: "Manyin, didn't you say to go to the county to contact the contracting team? Now is about the time, don't be too late and wait for people to recruit enough, and don't need manpower."

"Don't worry, Uncle Lian Shun, I'll go over to ask in the next few days."

No need to remind, Wang Manyin is also worried.
