The situation of Zhengxing Production Team and Xiaolaojun Production Team is different.
Because Zhengxing Brigade has a large courtyard house left by a landlord in the old days.
therefore.
In the canteen of Zhengxing Brigade, members are not allowed to take food home to eat.
The rules in the cafeteria are: All members, from the production team leader down to the child who has just learned to walk.
Everyone must eat in the cafeteria.
So if Luo Xuan was eating in the yard just now, a discerning person would know at a glance that Luo Xuan must have cooked the food at home!
I don’t know how to cover it up...
Peng Zhikun stood at the door of the yard, finished smoking a cigarette, and then walked in again.
I saw him handing the thing in his hand to Luo Xuan, "This is a condolence gift given to you by the brigade headquarters.
Our production team will also give you 2 gas stamps, 6-foot-3 cloth stamps, and 4 yuan and 80 cents as a New Year subsidy for you."
I am not a member of the Zhengxing Brigade now.
When you get home, you can only be considered a guest.
It is normal for the Zhengxing brigade to distribute a New Year's gift to themselves in the name of "sympathizing with the outstanding members of the commune."
6 The production team also took out two gas stamps worth 2 taels and 8 yuan each as a New Year gift for themselves.
These are all "public" actions and are paid out of the collective public accounts of the brigade and production team. No one can say there is anything wrong with them.
Luo Xuan accepted the gift,
He opened his mouth and asked, "Cousin, what are our production team going to do for the Chinese New Year this year? Are we going to have a New Year's reunion dinner in the canteen?"
Peng Zhikun shook his head, "Now there are few grains of grain in the production team's storage room.
If the canteen is open to the members to eat during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for three days and they will have to eat up all the food!"
Luo Xuan was shocked: "Is food already in short supply to this extent?"
Peng Zhikun smiled bitterly: "A month ago, our production team had no rations except for 'war preparation food' and 'seed food' for next year.
The food we eat now is from the food reserves in the brigade headquarters, so that everyone can eat two meals of sweet potato porridge a day."
Luo Xuan knew that the Zhengxing Brigade had always been short of food, but he never expected that all the food would be consumed so early!

Compared with the Xiaolaojun production team, the Zhengxing brigade has a larger member population.
Moreover, the land is all real and has been entered into the database of the commune.
Every year when the public grain is paid, the Zhengxing production team has to actually take out a large amount of grain and deliver it to the grain station.
"So how will the production team arrange the New Year this year?
Luo Xuan asked, "How many fat pigs are being raised in the breeding room now? How many New Year pigs have been given quotas for this year?"
"There are still three pigs in the production team.
Not to mention how fat it is, I estimate that one pig can only kill about 100 kilograms of meat."
Peng Zhikun said, ""These three pigs are not big. If two New Year pigs are killed according to the quota, each member of the commune can only get 8 taels of pork."
"Eight taels of pork! The big guys have worked hard for a year, and the little guys are looking forward to it every day and every month. Everyone is just looking forward to having some meat during the New Year."
Peng Zhikun sighed, "These 8 taels of meat are still with the bones and bones. If the bones and hair are removed, the pork that one person can get is not enough to fill his teeth!"
Alas, what year has passed?
So, I don’t care anymore, I’m going to go all out and make mistakes, and I’m going to kill all three pigs this year!
Calculated this way, each member can get 1 catty and 2 taels. Excluding the fur, that’s still 1 catty.”
Peng Zhikun gritted his teeth and said: "This afternoon, the production team will collect all the remaining 2,100 kilograms of grain in the storage room!
Just leave enough food for the big cafeteria for tomorrow. It can be regarded as letting the members prepare dough in the cafeteria for a year in advance.
Three pounds of fine grains and four pounds of coarse grains per person can allow the members to go back and spend the New Year."
There are requirements from above: During the Chinese New Year this year, the large canteens of each production team must provide the members with sumptuous meals for several days, so that everyone can have a good New Year.
But because of the Zhengxing brigade, its performance is relatively top-notch in the entire commune and its reputation is relatively high.
therefore,
From time to time, other commune cadres and people from other production teams would organize groups and go to Zhengxing Brigade to visit and study.
This makes the reception task of Zhengxing Brigade very heavy.
A lot of food was spent on receiving these brother commune cadres and production team members who came to visit and study.
This is a very important thing in daily life.
But no matter how rich your family background is, you can't afford to eat like this.
As a result, the food shortage situation in Zhengxing Brigade became extremely serious.
Luo Xuan muttered: "Well, tomorrow, the people from the hunting team will probably be back.
When the time comes, they will take out some wild boar meat, dried pheasant, wax hare and other meats and hand them over to the brigade headquarters.
The old secretary and the team leader will make unified arrangements.
As for our 6th production team, on behalf of the sand quarry, I donated another 20 kilograms of pork and put it in the big canteen as an extra meal for everyone."
Now the sand quarry is designated to supply large amounts of sand to all public units in the entire Red Star Commune.
In particular, there are agricultural machinery factories and sand foundry factories, which are two major customers.
Therefore, the overall efficiency of the sand mining plant is quite good.
Moreover, Luo Xuan had already formulated a policy for collecting payment from the sand quarry: try to ask the other party to use food stamps and meat stamps as cash.
As long as those units settle the payment for the sand quarry.
If food stamps and meat stamps are converted into cash according to the market price, the sand quarry will give them a 10% discount.
There is a serious shortage of meat stamps and grain stamps in the production team, but agricultural machinery stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, commune compounds, food stations, grain stations...
These units have a lot of money in their hands!
Just look at their finance room to see if they are willing to make adjustments.
With this 10% discount, how can those comrades in charge of financial settlements in public institutions not be willing to do so?!
therefore,
Now there are 230 kilograms of meat stamps and 670 kilograms of food stamps on the sand quarry's account.
But in this matter, only Ji Xuyuan, who was in charge of finance, and his successor Dai Hongmei were involved.
There is also the boss behind the scenes, Luo Xuan, these three people are the only ones who know the truth.
Even Dai Hongmei's husband, Yi Yang, a tractor driver at the sand quarry, was not very clear about the specific situation.
Moreover, since the sand quarry is under the name of Zhengxing Brigade Headquarters, it is actually an independent entity that is responsible for its own profits and losses.
So, should these food stamps and meat stamps be taken out, and how much should be taken out.
This all depends on Luo Xuan's will, no one can control it.
In the afternoon, Peng Zhikun was busy gathering the members to share the New Year rations in the storage room.
Each member is also given 2 taels of 8 cents stamps, 1 foot 7 cloth stamps, and 2 taels of 5 sugar stamps each.
All the members were gathered in the storage room of the production team, and everyone was eagerly waiting to distribute things.
Wait until the food receipts are distributed.
Soon everyone will gather in the breeding room of the production team to watch the butchers killing the New Year pigs and waiting to divide the pork.
Luo Xuan's house was also crowded with people: Uncle Ding, Dai Hongmei and his wife, Captain Peng Zhikun's wife Aunt Qi, Zhang Da and his wife, and others.
Even Zhou Laosan was gathered together at this time, waiting for Luo Xuan to give out year-end benefits to everyone.
"Zhang Da, this is yours."
Luo Xuan picked up a red envelope and handed it to Zhang Dadao: "In it is your wages for the past few months, as well as a little bonus for you."
After sending the money,
Then Luo Xuan gave Zhang Da a bowl of meat with pickled vegetables, 1 live chicken, 1 rabbit, 2 dried pheasants, and 3 pounds of pork.
"Yeah, thank you Luo Xuan. I have so many good things, plus the pork, oil and sugar tickets distributed by the production team."
Zhang's smiling face was distorted, "This year can be regarded as the fattest year we have ever had!"
Dai Hongmei and Yi Yang worked the hardest, so they got the same things as everyone else, but their red envelopes were the biggest.
Including the dividends from the sand quarry, Dai Hongmei and his wife actually received a full 590 yuan this year!
"So much money?"
Dai Hongmei used to help her family guard the agency store, and money came in and money went out every day.
She was also shocked by this huge sum of money, "Luo Xuan, did you calculate correctly? How could there be so much money?"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "You can't be wrong. Sister Hongmei, don't even think about it. Brother Yi Yang is a tractor driver, and his salary is not low to begin with.
In addition, you spend the whole day going to the units in the commune, come and go, to contact sales and discuss business.
I run up and down every day, looking for someone to sign, someone to get a seal, and settle the payment.
You guys have worked so hard, and you and Brother Yi Yang deserve this little bit of wages."
"Okay, okay! Hahaha..."
Yi Yang was overjoyed, "Let's just say, if you follow Luo Xuan, you can eat meat in big mouthfuls... Is it so rare for the production team to get that little thing? Humph!"
Dai Hongmei kicked Yi Yang and said angrily: "Eating meat? I think you have eaten a lot of tofu from other older girls and younger wives, right?"
Yi Yang scratched his head, "Hey, if you don't say this, it will make people laugh..."
"Are you still afraid of other people laughing at you?"
Dai Hongmei complained a few words, but after all, in front of so many people, especially Luo Xuan, she finally kept her mouth shut.
I sent red envelopes and New Year gifts to Aunt Seven, who was so happy that her teeth were crooked and she said, "That's great! Over the years, we have been the ones who have pooled our money to buy things and give gifts to others."
Unexpectedly, now I can actually get the New Year’s goods!
The two useless little brats in our family will finally be able to have a good time this year."
at last,
Luo Xuan gave Zhou Laosan 6 yuan, a pound of pork, and a fish.
He is still living in the shack. Fortunately, Zhou Laoer will be back tomorrow carrying the prey.
Luo Xuan gave each member of the hunting team a generous reward, including rice, flour, oil, cloth coupons, and meat coupons.
By then, the two brothers will have plenty of supplies for this year's New Year.
After dividing things,
Luo Xuan waved his hand: "Let's go to the production team's breeding room to watch the New Year pigs being slaughtered."
Zhou Laosan cheered, "Let's go and watch the pig being slaughtered!"
Kill seven but not eight, kill eight and quarrel.
This is the custom of killing pigs and chickens during the Chinese New Year in rural areas of Bashu Province.
Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which is a good day for the production team members to kill chickens and ducks. There are piles of bonfires everywhere so that everyone can boil water, scald the hair, and burn the chickens and ducks.
In the breeding room of the production team, Uncle Ding's wife, who was originally a breeder, was driving three fat pigs into the yard.
By the time Luo Xuan and Zhou Laosan arrived at the breeding room, there was already a sea of people there, and it was so crowded that there was no way to get through!
