For a strong labor force in the production team, the annual ration is 480 kilograms.
Women's rations for strong laborers are 450 jins, and children's rations are 380 jins.
Luo Xuan is a child and has a ration of 380 kilograms a year, which translates into about 32 kilograms a month.
It sounds like a lot.
But the rations for the production team and the rations for the urban residents are not the same concept!
Rations for urban workers are divided into fine grains and coarse grains.
If we take the standard ration of 30 kilograms per month for urban residents as an example, the ratio is roughly 12 kilograms of fine grains and 18 kilograms of coarse grains.
All these coarse and fine grains are fine grains with the skins and shells removed.
The rations for the commune members were still in the shell, and included dried sweet potatoes, corn kernels, and wheat kernels.
Since the grains of rice during this period are not so full, after shelling, only less than 60% of the rice can be pounded out.
The rations for the production team members are peeled and shelled, and the dried red potatoes and other make-up items are removed. If an adult is to have enough food for a year, the food gap will be huge.
Most of the time, everyone has to rely on fruits and vegetables instead.
(That’s nice to say, there’s no fruit to eat! In fact, they all rely on digging wild vegetables and getting some konjac, taro and the like to satisfy their hunger.)
That’s why there is the saying “half a year’s worth of melons and fruits”.
Since Luo Xuan had no labor ability, he did not have enough work points to exchange for grain in the production team.
As the old saying goes: If you are half a young man, you will defeat me.
Luo Xuan would definitely not be able to eat enough just by relying on the small rations he was allocated.
Yesterday when we separated.
Under the urging of her cousin's stern eyes, Mrs. Wang reluctantly handed over Luo Xuan's food rations for the remaining four months of this year, plus the food compensation Luo Xuan received for giving up the house.
There were also a few gas tickets and cloth tickets in Luo Xuan's name. She also handed them all to Luo Xuan in front of Wang's cousin.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang felt filled with resentment!
"Last night, people were cooking white rice in the breeding room, and it was the kind of rice without bracts!"
While rubbing the jute, Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and said coldly: "I drank too much horse urine yesterday, so I couldn't sleep at all.
When Xiaocao came back from him, I didn’t even have to get up or ask. The smell of grilled fish and white rice on the little girl’s body... Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s just a nose irritant!”
When I think about eating glutinous rice at home.
And that guy Luo Xuan had just separated the family, and he dared to cook white rice and eat it. Wang was immediately furious: "Eat, eat, eat, you will know how many you have... Hehe, wait for him to cry."
Time is still behind!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li gave Mrs. Wang a cold look and said, "Luo Xuan is a single family now, and you can't control how he eats.
Why do you say Luo Xuan like that?
He used to earn work points for the family, cooking, sweeping the floor, and doing housework. Now, even though you two have separated, your friendship is still there."
Another woman next to him also interjected: "That's right. As the old saying goes, 'Leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.' You'd better not say that to Luo Xuan."
Wang raised her head and was about to argue with the woman.
Suddenly he remembered that he had a quarrel with Ou Qiniang and Mrs. Zhao yesterday afternoon.
If you have another argument with this woman, you will easily become isolated and helpless.
After figuring out the stakes, Wang secretly swallowed her saliva and did not dare to say a word.
Wang understands the principle of "uniting the majority of the people".
"Aunt Zhang, please go over and help me cook a meal."
The Wang family had just died down, but Luo Xuan, sweating profusely, ran to the storage room carrying a knife of pork and a small bundle of vermicelli and asked Aunt Zhang to help cook.
Aunt Zhang had already gone to help Luo Xuan build a house early this morning.
But the manpower arranged by the production team leader worked very hard this time, so Aunt Zhang went to help build the house for a while, and there was not much work left.
There were more people and less work, and Aunt Zhang didn't want to spend time there, lest she add to Luo Xuan's burden.
So she ran back to the storage room halfway and continued to twist the hemp rope.
"Luo Xuan, you can cook for yourself."
Aunt Zhang glanced at the piece of pork on Luo Xuan's hand and said casually: "It's not like you don't know how to cook. If I go there with a mouth, I will eat you up."
"It's okay!"
Luo Xuan waved to Aunt Zhang carelessly, "If you lose all your money in gambling, you will be rich. I'm not afraid that Aunt Zhang will eat me for one or two meals. Besides, I still have something to trouble you with."
Mr. Wang lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "I had some bad money on hand, so I started working hard to make it."
Mrs. Li on the side grinned and taunted Mrs. Wang when she heard this: "I'm afraid you are envious of helping to build a house, getting work points and eating meat!"
"Who cares about that little bit of pork! Huh, my parents feed more than a dozen chickens! I'm still worried about not having any meat to eat during the Chinese New Year?
Let me tell you, yesterday my family finally got the idea and knew how to buy a bag of medicine for my mother to treat headaches. If my man can please my mother's family, then I will dare to go back to catch chickens during the Chinese New Year! "
Ms. Wang refused to admit that she was greedy for gain, and she was also greedy.
She put on a look of compassion and sighed, "Repairing and building houses is the biggest thing in our lives as rural people. When it comes to helping, you have to rely on your own family to feel at ease.
A piece of bamboo that is cut older will withstand the sun, rain, and insects and rats in the future. I am afraid that if you hire outsiders to do the work, there will be no one to keep an eye on it. If the treatment is not good, no one will see. Do you have to come out?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li thought to herself: Now you can say "one family"? Mrs. Wang, you are very calculating, but I'm afraid Luo Xuan will ignore you this time.
You deserve to be treated weakly to him!
Luo Xuan was going to build a house this time. It was originally the production team leader Peng Zhikun who came forward to organize some capable people in the production team to help with the work on a voluntary basis.
But Luo Xuan was determined not to let them work in vain.
You have to insist on using your own work points to pay for the work of these people.
When there are big things in the countryside, everyone helps me and I help you, which is equivalent to exchanging work for work.
Luo Xuan is not considered a labor force, so he cannot exchange jobs with others.
But for nearly eight months this year, Luo Xuan worked for the production team by cutting cattle grass, cutting pig grass, gleaning wheat ears, and helping to dig sweet potatoes, and he also saved money on the production team's account. 216 cm.
A day's work for a strong adult is 10 centimeters, and a day's work for a strong woman is 8 centimeters.
For a young man like Luo Xuan, if he had to hand over enough cows, grass and pigweed every day, the production team would give him three work points.
Just by slowly saving 3 work points this day, Luo Xuan also accumulated 216 work points.
Today, a total of five female laborers came to help Luo Xuan build the bamboo shed, so Luo Xuan had to pay them 50 work points in total.
For this kind of work points, all you need to do is go to the accountant of the production team and look up the numbers on the ledger.
As long as the accountant modifies the accounts, the work points originally recorded in Luo Xuan's name can be transferred to their name.
Captain Peng Zhikun, including the five women, did not want Luo Xuan's work points.
But Luo Xuan's attitude was very firm: If everyone didn't accept the work points, he would find someone else to help!
at last.
Except for the production team leader Peng Zhikun, the other five women had no choice but to agree to accept Luo Xuan's work points.
Aunt Zhang ran away halfway through helping today, or because she really didn't want to take advantage of Luo Xuan.
As the captain, Peng Zhikun usually works one day's work, which is calculated as one and a half hours' work.
As the leader of the production team and Luo Xuan's elder, Peng Zhikun could barely accept Luo Xuan's work points.
Therefore, Luo Xuan needs to take out 50 work points and transfer them to the five women as compensation for their labor.
When Luo Xuan built a house this time, he was determined not to owe anyone a favor. In fact, it was out of long-term considerations.
Soon, everyone will be hungry...
If you owe too many favors now, you will be very passive when the time comes.
In difficult times, the situation is grim.
If he is not careful, Luo Xuan will fall into a huge whirlpool, making it possible for him to receive his lunch box.
If you don't owe anyone a favor, the initiative will be in Luo Xuan's own hands when the time comes to choose who to help and who not to help.
By then Luo Xuan will have no worries or guilt in his heart.
Wouldn't it be nice to take the initiative in your own hands?
