In the Shilipu production team, each household has at least five people.
Even if the tree is big, it needs to be divided into branches, and if there are many people, the family needs to be divided. Even in some families, where there are many brothers and sisters, when the children grow up, they live separately.
But when it comes to a Saibei family that has many children and many blessings, their family will almost never have less than five people.
In view of the specific situation in the Shilipu production team, the meat distribution this time is different from previous years:
If according to previous years,
The cadres in the production team will divide the pork and mutton into piles of meat balls corresponding to their family members in advance according to the number of people in each household.
For example, the largest pile of more than 10 piles of meat corresponds to a commune member family with 8 people in the family.
Then,
There is also a slightly smaller pile of meat, corresponding to a family of 7 people.
By analogy, a smaller pile of meat corresponds to a commune member's family with 6 people in the family.
When it’s time to divide the meat,
The cadres of the production team will ask a family of eight people to come up at the same time to select the pile of meat they like.
After the families with 8 members have finished selecting, they will then start to organize the 7 members to come forward to select beef and mutton.
In previous years, for the production team cadres, their approach seemed fair.
But only they themselves know the trick: among the piles of meat placed on the wooden board, the meat on the surface is relatively better meat.
And underneath all this good meat,
There will be some meat with more bones or leaner meat hidden there.
In this way,
The members who come to choose pork and mutton are betting on luck, which is equivalent to a blind man touching an elephant.
And which pile of meat is better?
There are only production team cadres involved in dividing the meat and butchers responsible for dividing the meat.
and the breeders of the production team, they finally understood.
Wait until you have a good relationship with them and those members come to pick the meat.
The cadres of the production team and the breeders naturally have ways to do this through some subtle body movements or eyes.
To hint to their relatives or family members which pile of meat they should choose
But this year,
Because of the involvement of Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong.
At this moment, all the cadres and masses involved in the meat distribution stood on the same starting line:
Let’s all play guessing!
No one can take advantage of the little privilege they have.
Those half-grown men standing outside the cordon were first puzzled by Peng Yong and Zhang Xiaoli's series of operations.
But after a while,
Many half-grown men have figured out the brilliance of this operation!
A kid clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Hahaha Sandan, I wonder if you can still get the pork belly this year as you wish?"
Xiao Rongrong also laughed, "In previous years, my family would always share the meat from the hind legs, which made my father beat me several times. This year's method of dividing the meat is good! No one can take advantage."
"Damn! These educated youths from other places have so many bad ideas."
The breeder's youngest son, for the first time this year, tasted the bitter taste of losing his privileges.
The furious Gou Sheng couldn't help but jump to his feet and cursed: "No wonder people say that the monkeys in the south are all thieves and thieves. Bah!
They are not cadres in the production team, so why should they take care of the affairs of our production team?"
The militia captain walked over with a rifle on his back, stretched out his hand to twist his ears and asked, "What did you say just now? Come on, Gou Sheng, can you say it again in front of your face?"
The breeder's son left the dog behind.
In the past, their family had more than one father who was a breeder.
And because of their family, they have a close relationship with Li Liangang, the leader of the Li family.
Moreover, this breeder's family is also a core member of the Li family of the production team.
Good family background and high seniority.
So over the years, the breeder's son has become accustomed to being the king among the children in the village.
Now, in front of so many friends, his ears were twisted by the militia squad leader.
No longer will he lose face, and this method of dividing the flesh will leave him with no advantage to take advantage of.
When I think about carrying a bunch of bad meat, I came home and was being talked about by that bitch, looking embarrassed.
Gou Shengbian felt extremely angry!
What's more, there is his favorite little girl next to him, Huang Zaohua, who is looking at him!
Gou Sheng puffed up his chest and shouted, "Let go! What's the point of saying it again?"
The militia squad leader looked at the furious Gou Sheng with a half-smile, "Then just say it again, and I'll listen to you."
"Well, you are Da Da! We are of the same generation in terms of seniority. Why do you call me Da Da?"
Gou Shengyimanjie has never been afraid of the militia squad leader in front of him.
While he was being squeezed by the militia squad leader, he gasped and replied viciously: "Those southerners are not cadres of our production team.
What a shame! Why should you care about the affairs of our production team?"
"Why?"
The militia squad leader chuckled and said, "Boy, you'd better clamp my tail tighter. You used to hit my baby every three days, and I never had a problem with you."
"Let me tell you. I'm afraid you won't be able to work as a breeder for two days."
The militia squad leader let go of his hand,
With a face full of gloating: "Luo Xuan has already found out, you have been working as a breeder for several years.
The grain allocated from the storage room and the feed consumed in the breeding room are not accounted for, there is a gap of 1,000 kilograms!"
"What the hell can't be paid for?"
Gou Sheng was furious: "There are 5 donkeys, 6 mules, more than 20 pigs, 5 oxen, and 113 sheep in the breeding room. They eat more and less every day. Gui Qiu can calculate it so clearly?!
Besides, Luo Xuan is a warehouse keeper, and he can’t stretch his hands that far, so it’s my father’s fault!”
Gou Sheng is actually not young this year, he is 15 years old.
According to the custom of Saibei, he should be called Xu 17 years old.
If it had been left to an earlier age, Gou Sheng would have almost reached the age of marriage.
so,
In order to cultivate Gou Sheng's housekeeping skills as early as possible, the breeder will tell Gou Sheng about many things at home.
Gou Sheng's father has been a breeder in the production team for 7 or 8 years.
The Shilipu production team raises so many livestock, cattle and sheep.
One year later,
When the breeder "shuns" 2,300 kilograms of grain to the house, it is simply a matter of not showing off the mountain.
The sheep will need to chew less corn cobs, the fat pigs will need less gourds of water, and the cattle will need to chew less soybeans. Who can find out?
My father often brings soybeans, black beans, corn and sorghum to the house.
Gou Sheng naturally knows these things.
The members of the production team can also make a rough guess as to how the breeders will bring grain to their homes.
But the suspicion seems to be unfounded.
In addition, during those years, Li Liangang was running rampant in the village, almost covering the sky with one hand.
As for the breeder who has a good relationship with Li Liangang, he is naturally not afraid of the members talking about him behind his back.
Gou Sheng's attitude is very arrogant.
But today there seems to be a militia squad leader with ulterior motives. He seems to be deliberately trying to make people angry.
The militia squad leader smiled and said, "Don't think that your family is doing all the bad things without anyone noticing.
Let me tell you, Luo Xuan is a very capable person. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the government in front of him will definitely be fired."
"Ah! Who are you kidding?"
Gou Sheng disagreed, "In the whole village, my father is the best at raising pigs, cattle, sheep and mules. You said Luo Xuan is so capable, then let him raise them."
"I'll take care of you."
Zhang Xiaoli finished cleaning up the piles of meat and patted the meat residue on her hands.
Then he walked over slowly: "I am majoring in animal husbandry. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle large-scale breeding.
But it’s just a production team with just a few cattle and sheep. I feel like I can still cope with it.”
"You, me."
Men and women in Saibei mature early.
Gou Sheng, who was already confused and started to understand a little bit about human affairs, immediately panicked when he saw the fairy-like Zhang Xiaoli: "You, me"
For a moment, Gou Sheng didn't know what to say.
To say that my sister is like a fairy, she is bragging.
But Gou Sheng clearly heard Zhang Xiaoli talking about her major in animal husbandry.
Gou Sheng didn't understand what the animal husbandry major was. But he had a vague feeling that that major should be very powerful.
But if you want to praise Zhang Xiaoli a few words, please.
But the other party is here to steal his father's job. This is really embarrassing. I don't know what to say.
He wanted to scold him, but he was so ashamed that he really didn't dare to provoke Zhang Xiaoli, who was like a fairy.
He wants to die down and lose his reputation in the production team among these half-grown men.
But after it was completely destroyed, it would be difficult for Gou Sheng to survive.
Even if he went on a blind date two years ago, he would have to lower the threshold.
Here in Saibei, when young men and women are about to go on a blind date, the other party will send spies to the production team to inquire about each other's reputation.
If someone's reputation is bad, girls with better conditions will not come.
Seeing that Gou Sheng was silent, the militia squad leader smiled playfully and approached Gou Sheng: "How about it? If it is found out that your father really stole the food in the breeding room, you will not be able to take over his duties in the future!"
"
"Hey, Huang Zaohua, she's starting to avoid you."
The militia squad leader was afraid that the fire would not be strong enough, "I heard that between the two of you, what do you mean?"
"puff--"
Gou Sheng looked at Huang Zaohua, who had tried every means before to get close to him and smile at him.
Now I am drifting further and further away from myself.
The furious Gou Sheng suddenly threw the wicker basket in his hand to the ground!
He ran away and ran home.
"Hey, hey, Brother Gou Sheng, aren't you going to participate in the meat sharing?"
Sandan and Gou Sheng became one and the same, and when he saw this, he quickly shouted, "If you weren't here, you wouldn't be able to get a share of the good meat."
Gou Sheng's voice came from far away: "Now everyone is guessing blindly. It doesn't matter whether you pick or not. When it comes to the end, let my dad bring back the pile of meat left."
My father probably won’t be able to do this job as a breeder, it’s bigger than the sky!
If he were Gou Sheng's father,
If he becomes just an ordinary production team member in the future, it will directly affect Gou Sheng's cost of going on blind dates in the future, and his confidence in negotiating betrothal gifts.
This is a big deal!
Gou Sheng planned to go back and quickly asked his mother to ask a matchmaker.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, when all the members were resting at home, they went to Huang Zaohua's house to propose marriage.
Let’s see if it’s possible, before my father is fired from his position,
Hurry up and settle this matter.
Here in Saibei,
Once a man and a woman are engaged, they rarely regret the marriage.
This is mainly related to the reputation of both parties. Also, the cost of breaking up a marriage is too high and ordinary people cannot bear it.
The dog ran away.
But the work of dividing pork and mutton is still going on.
Dou Jiande, the production captain, took the roster of members and stood on the feeding steps and started to call loudly:
"Li Jianping, Li Jianhua, Li Molian, Zhao Dawei, Yi Feng, and Hu Haijun are all 12 households with eight members.
Now, come here and choose your family’s portion of meat this year.”
The named commune members and their sons and daughters came forward with baskets and began to select pork and mutton.
The meat pile specifically for a family of 8 is larger.
But at the same time, the yellow paper covering the piles of meat is also larger, and it wraps up all the tasks tightly.
Just by looking at it like this, no one can tell whether that pile of meat is good or not.
Many children circled around the pile of meat, squatting down and standing up, stretching their necks, carefully guessing which pile of meat would be fatter.
And which pile of meat has fewer bones?
After all, based on the sharp edges and corners on the yellow paper, these young men thought they could guess some omens.
"Pick quickly!"
Dou Jiande was impatient, "There are many people waiting behind you! If you don't do it, I will throw it directly into your basket."
The production team leader urged me hard.
These half-grown boys and girls are helpless.
He had no choice but to rely on luck and his own intuition to step forward and put a pile of meat into his own wicker basket.
When they uncovered the pieces of yellow paper covering the pile of meat.
Some of the young men and young girls present were ecstatic.
There were many people with tears in their eyes, who stamped their feet and felt annoyed: If I had known that this was a pile of hind leg meat, I should have picked the pile next to it!
It's terrible now. I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful life this year.
When I go back, my parents will be nagging me for the entire first month of the year. Alas!
After all the piles of meat, big and small, were finally cleared away by the big guys.
These people who were sent by their families to share the meat were either very happy or regretful.
In short, those who got the meat could only carry the wicker baskets and rush home.
Zhanjun's family lives on the plains, and it's a long way to go.
Today, the older woman who was sent to the production team by him to participate in the meat distribution was returning home in a hurry with a basket full of pork and mutton.
But on the way, I met an aunt from the Guanzhuang production team: "Hey, Ai Liujing, your production team is dividing the meat so early this year?"
Ai Liujing smiled slightly, "Yes, Auntie, the cadres of the production team told everyone to share the meat back early so that they can prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner early."
The aunt came forward and said,
He stuck out his head and looked into Ai Liujing's frame, "So much meat? How come your production team has so much meat divided up this year?"
The Shilipu production team has indeed received a lot of meat this year.
Ai Liujing was also excited: "Actually, it's not too much, right? This year in our production team, it seems that every member of the team received 1 catty, 2 taels, and 7."
"How much is 2 taels per catty?!"
The aunt from the Guanzhuang production team was full of surprise and jealousy, "Where did your Shilipu production team get so many New Year pigs and the slaughter quota for New Year sheep?!"
Ai Liujing smiled and said, "No, the quota of New Year pigs and New Year sheep given to us by the commune is still the same."
"It's just that the pigs in our production team are so fat that they can't even walk."
Ai Liujing started fooling people,
He looked completely rational and confident, "And the sheep in our production team are also big! A fat pig weighs 1,000 kilograms, and a sheep weighs more than 500 kilograms!"
When the woman heard what Ai Liujing said, she almost spit out blood on the spot!!
A fat pig weighs 1,000 pounds?!
Even a sheep can weigh more than 500 kilograms??!
Woman, who are you fooling?
Seeing the disdain on the other person's face, Ai Liujing added: "If you sing strangely, you can raise a fat pig weighing more than a thousand pounds. A three-foot pot can't boil it, and a six-foot pot can cook half of it."
"how?"
Ai Liujing looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile, "Auntie, do you dare to question that the fat pigs in our production team do not weigh 1,000 kilograms?"
"Don't dare!"
When the mother-in-law heard this, her face turned pale with fright, "The yield of sweet potatoes per mu is more than 30,000 yuan, and a pumpkin is as big as 1,000 kilograms. I believe it!"
The woman from the Guanzhuang production team quickly turned around and ran away.
He said something from a distance, "Woman, don't you dare go out and say that a pig in your production team weighs 1,000 pounds. I believe this! I really believe it."
