Hearing this, Wang Manyin smiled and asked: "If we buy more grain, it will be really abundant if it is distributed to the members."

Upon hearing this, Shaoan fell into silence.

He naturally understood what his brother-in-law meant. Just because the fields produced more food did not mean that the commune members' families would receive more food.

There is a saying now: "Whether it's enough or not, it's three hundred and six. Whether you work or not, you'll have food."

The meaning is very straightforward. No matter how much grain is produced in the fields of the production team, farmers can only receive a maximum of 360 kilograms per year, which is capped.

As for the extra grain, it needs to be supported by the higher authorities, and the production team has no right to deal with it...

If you divide too much in private, it is "concealing the property and sharing privately", and you will make a mistake.

And if the actual grain harvested by the production team is less than the standard of 360 kilograms, they can eat the resold grain above to make up for the shortfall.

From this perspective, it is true that "you can earn money whether you work or not."

If that's the case, why do you still work so hard?

Sun Shaoan didn't think about it at all before, but now that he heard what his brother-in-law said, he felt like there was a fog in his head, and he couldn't figure out what was going on?

He said unwillingly: "Brother-in-law, is there no solution? We farmers can only be the sufferers for the rest of our lives."

"There is a solution, but you can't do it." Wang Manyin said vaguely.

To put it bluntly, it is "concealing the property and dividing it privately".

In this regard, southerners are very flexible. According to a later survey, among the nearly 300 production teams in a town in the south, except for 48 teams who voluntarily reported actual production, the remaining more than 200 teams concealed their output, accounting for 10% of the total.

82% of the total production team.

However, this method is very risky, and Wang Manyin does not want his brother-in-law to stumble through this.

After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Shaoan, do you want to take root in the countryside for the rest of your life, or go out? Be a worker, or something else."

"If there is a chance, of course I am willing to go out." Sun Shaoan replied without hesitation.

He has a restless heart in his heart, but he can't find any other way in this era and can only vent his energy in the fields.

"Then just wait for the opportunity, there will always be..."

In fact, the upward path for farmers in this era has not been completely blocked.

On the one hand, you can get out of farming by becoming a soldier. If you do well in the army, you can be promoted. On the other hand, you can eat commercial food by recruiting workers.

As far as Wang Manyin knows, every year the commune is given some recruitment quotas by the superiors, and some of them will eventually be assigned to various brigades.

Of course, these indicators are not in the hands of ordinary members at all, and have been digested internally as early as the brigade.

There is also another recommendation by workers, peasants and soldiers to go to university.

It is these outlets that Wang Manyin is eyeing.

Although it is difficult, it depends on your ability and whether you can grasp it.

As long as it works well, there is still a certain chance of getting out of farming.

"Shaoan, there are some words that you can only listen to but not believe. You have to think more about everything yourself, and you can't just follow what others say... No matter what era, there is no future for being a pure farmer. If you want to live a good life in this cowardly life, there is a way out.

It can only be done outside. So don’t focus on the one-third of an acre of land in the village. You should take a longer-term view...Slowly realize these words, and don’t say it to other people."

Regarding the future of his brother-in-law, Wang Manyin said a lot in one breath, many of which were taboo. He only dared to say this because he knew that his brother-in-law would definitely not accuse him.

There is a famous saying from later generations that is very appropriate today, "Two people tell the truth together, three people talk gossip together, and four people talk nonsense together."

With Wang Manyin's cautiousness, if there was a third person around him now, he would not say these words even to death.

"I know you are good for me, brother-in-law, but I won't tell anyone this." After listening to the analysis, Sun Shaoan's understanding of his brother-in-law improved a lot.

Brother-in-law is really underestimated!

His father, Sun Yuhou, had never been to school and had been a sufferer all his life. He spoke eloquently when it came to growing crops and serving livestock. However, he did not have much experience to teach him about the principles of life. He only told him to be honest and honest when encountering injustice.

Things will pass if you endure them...

These sound good, but they don't solve the actual problem.

If you are kind, you will be bullied. If you are too honest, you will only be looked down upon by others as a coward.

Sun Shaoan has already experienced this from his second mother He Fengying.

When the second mother first married the second father, she didn't take their family seriously at all because she had just studied for a few days. She often scolded his mother with dirty words, and sometimes even pulled out the dead grandfather and cursed her.

Whenever this happened, my father didn't know how to deal with it at all. He just squatted in the cave dwelling with his head in his hands, like a piece of wood.

Later, Shaoan became anxious after being scolded, so he just ignored it and beat He Fengying severely. At that time, many people laughed at him, and no one could persuade him. The beating made He Fengying's nose and mouth bleed.

From then on, the second mother never dared to insult his family, and she was polite to her own mother when she saw her.

From that day on, Shaoan knew that his father's words were not necessarily correct.

Now that he heard what his brother-in-law said, Sun Shaoan felt that he had benefited a lot.

It completely overturned my understanding of life for more than ten years, and the layers of fog that had previously shrouded my mind were peeled away.

He completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming the production captain, nodded heavily and said: "I listen to you, let someone else be the production captain."

Seeing that the other party really listened, Wang Manyin didn't say anything more.

No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. My brother-in-law is a smart man himself.

He changed the subject again and mentioned that his old father-in-law had previously planned to pay off his debt.

"Shaoan, you and our dad don't have to worry about the wedding debt. I told you last time that I can actually pay it back."

Of course Wang Manyin appreciates the kindness of his father-in-law's family.

But seeing people scrimping on food and clothing to raise money for himself, he didn't have the shamelessness to accept it, so he simply let it out in front of Shaoan.

"I understand," Sun Shaoan nodded.

If my brother-in-law does this, he can guess a thing or two.

It gets dark early in winter, and after finishing the business, Wang Manyin called Lanhua and planned to leave.

When Lan Xiang saw her sister leaving, she cried and shouted to follow her.

Although Shaoping remained silent, his eyes were filled with longing.

Ever since my brother-in-law's family opened a consignment store, their father would not let them go there again.

Wang Manyin agreed immediately: "Dad, let Shaoping and the others go over and play for a long time. We are going to stew minced meat and bones in the evening. I will bring them back after dinner."

"What are you going to do? You are running a sales outlet and people are busy coming and going." Sun Yuhou shook his head repeatedly and refused to let go.

He was afraid that his two children would not know the importance of the matter and would take things randomly, which would make his eldest son-in-law unhappy.

"It's okay, there aren't many people at night. Let's go, Shaoping, Lanxiang!" With that said, Wang Manyin took the two children and walked out of the cave dwelling.

"You can't go, it will cause trouble." Old man Sun quickly stopped his younger son.

"Dad, let's see what you said, why would you cause trouble to your eldest daughter's family?" Lanhua also advised.

"Hey... don't take random things when you go to my brother-in-law's house." Sun Yuhou saw that the two of them were giving in, so he didn't stop him anymore, and just kept reminding the two children.

After watching his son-in-law and the eldest daughter leave, he asked about business matters.

"Shaoan, what did your brother-in-law say?"

The father and son had some disputes in the past two days because of whether to be the production captain.

"Brother-in-law said very well. I don't plan to be the production team leader anymore. I'd better take care of our family first." Sun Shaoan replied vaguely.

Since he promised his brother-in-law, there are certain things he will not tell anyone.

Hearing his son's words like this, Sun Yuhou was a little depressed.

The child has no control over his father, and Shaoan is very independent.

He had been talking for the past two days and his mouth was dry, but he never nodded.

A visit from the eldest son-in-law will help his son change his mind.
