Facing Chen Zhaodi's disgusted look, Liu Xinyu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said while packing it up neatly: "I want to make a different schoolbag, but I haven't found the right material after searching for a long time."

Make a schoolbag?

Isn't it just a bag for carrying books? Just use cloth. What the hell are these wires, wooden sticks, bamboo strips, and even discarded bicycle inner and outer tubes?

Different schoolbags?

Are you planning to make your schoolbag into flowers?!

Chen Zhaodi glanced at Liu Xinyu's obviously altered clothes, glared at Liu Xinyu with some dissatisfaction, and while bending down to help pack them, she said: "What kind of schoolbag do you need to make so many messy things?"

Liu Xinyu explained, but there was no physical object. After explaining for a long time, Chen Zhaodi was still confused.

Alas, forget it, we still have to have a finished product.

Once the finished product is ready, we can let everyone discover the benefits of the backpack through demonstrations.

"Nai, why are you free today? The rice has been put into storage? When will the team distribute the grain?" After putting all the sundries back into the utility room, Liu Xinyu first poured a glass of water for Chen Zhaodi, and then poured a glass for herself.

Shui, then looked at Chen Zhaodi's question.

Share food?

Chen Zhaodi was stunned for a moment. This girl has never worked a day, and she is actually thinking about sharing the food?!

However, Liu Xinyu is also considered a member of the team, and there is still food for everyone, but it is definitely not enough for her.

Fortunately, the Zhang family will subsidize her a little. When school starts and wages are paid every month, she will definitely not be hungry. Whether she can live a comfortable life remains to be seen.

"Milk?" After not hearing Chen Zhaodi's answer for a long time, Liu Xinyu raised her head and realized that Chen Zhaodi was looking at her in a daze.

"Oh... there is only a little grain left in the drying field. The team asked us to take turns to rest and slow down. Your father and second uncle have already started to pack bags. After filling the bags, they will go to hand over the public grain. There are at most ten more grains left.

God, the team should distribute rations." Speaking of rations, Chen Zhaodi hesitated for a moment and continued: "There should be rations for your people this season, but I'm afraid there won't be any next season."

Liu Xinyu nodded silently.

She still understands the distribution system of the production team.

The Minqin Brigade uses the production team as the accounting unit. After harvesting and delivering the public grain each season, the accountant will make a plan according to the production team's practice.

First, 10% will be reserved as public grain, and the remaining grain will be distributed according to the ratio of 70% of the population and 30% of the work share.

The elderly and children cannot earn work points, but they can still receive food rations to maintain their basic living.

Liu Xinyu graduated from high school this year, which means she was just a student before and had no work points, so she can only get rations this season.

She has been a teacher at Minqin Primary School since September. Although she is only a substitute teacher, because she receives a monthly salary, of course she can no longer share rations with the production team.

Seeing that Liu Xinyu had no special reaction, Chen Zhaodi added: "This season's rice harvest is good, and the food for the population should be over one hundred kilograms."

The Minqin Brigade is located in a mountainous area with few paddy fields. This year, more than ten acres were buried due to mudslides. I heard that each person can get more than 100 kilograms based on the population. Liu Xinyu feels very satisfied.

Of course, the grain distributed is not rice, but rice in the husk.

One hundred kilograms of rice can produce about seventy kilograms of rice, which means that the population this season will only have about seventy kilograms of rice.

Liu Xinyu's appetite is not big, and she can eat 70 kilograms of rice for about two and a half to three months.

She will have to live here until at least March next year, and the food will certainly not be enough to survive until March next year.

The shortfall can only be bought with money, and I don’t know if I can buy public grain from the production team.

At the end of each year, the production team will release a batch of public grain for the members to purchase. This kind of grain does not require food stamps.

Of course, if you have money, you can go to the grain station to buy food, but the food at the grain station requires food stamps, and she doesn't have many food stamps.

Liu Xinyu's face looked a little heavy. Chen Zhaodi didn't know what she was thinking, but she talked to her about catching and selling eels.

"Nai, if I and my second uncle are free, let them continue to catch them. The eel cages should be placed in the two places where they were placed before. And you should be more careful when selling eels. It seems that there are already people in our village.

Passed on." Liu Xinyu did not intend to continue to get involved in catching eels, but she still had to remind her.

Chen Zhaodi had known about the rumors in the village for a long time, but she didn't take it as a big deal. She looked at Liu Xinyu and said: "It's just spreading, it's just those few people who don't know how to gossip."

Chen Zhaodi is not a person who has no plans. Since she said this, Liu Xinyu stopped talking and asked the villagers about the time to go to the grain station in the town to hand over the public grain, and then started to think about going into the mountains.

When Liu Qingshan was alive, he would always bring her some good things back from the mountains in September and October every year.

This year he is gone, so Liu Xinyu has to find her own way to find what she wants.

"You want to go into the mountains? I think you should forget it! Let your father and second uncle look for something. Although the mountains here are not deep mountains and old forests, there have been basically no tigers and wolves in recent years, but they used to be

Yes. If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of the worst. Don't go into the mountains alone!" When Chen Zhaodi heard that Liu Xinyu wanted to go into the mountains for a look, she immediately became serious and repeatedly told Liu Xinyu not to go into the mountains without permission.

Okay, let's wait until the next time I and my second uncle go to the mountains to cut firewood.

"By the way, grandma, do you remember that my dad once bought a piece of canvas?" Since she couldn't go into the mountains, Liu Xinyu returned to making schoolbags.

Chen Zhaodi nodded: "I did buy it, but your aunt borrowed it for use and hasn't returned it yet. That damn girl is also true. It's been almost two months since I borrowed it and I don't know if I'll return it."

At this point, Chen Zhaodi slapped herself on the forehead: "By the way, I almost forgot, the old lady of the Jiang family is sick again. I plan to go and have a look. Do you want to come with me?"

Liu Xinyu has only one aunt, named Liu Lifang, who is married to the struggle brigade next door, and has two daughters and two sons with her uncle Jiang Youming.

The eldest daughter Jiang Yuzhu is one year younger than Liu Xinyu. She is fifteen years old this year. She only studied for two years before going home to help with housework and raising her younger siblings.

The second daughter, Jiang Yumei, is eleven years old, the same age as Liu Xinju, and is still in primary school. It is said that her grades are pretty good.

Previously, Liu Qingsong and his wife planned to let Liu Xinju drop out of school, and Liu Lifang and his wife also planned to let Jiang Yumei drop out after hearing about it.

The eldest son Jiang Jian'an is seven years old this year. If nothing else happens, he will start school in September.

The youngest son Jiang Jianle is one year older than the fourth child of the Liu family, and is not in good health because he was born prematurely.

Liu Lifang's father-in-law passed away a few years ago, and her mother-in-law is not in good health and gets sick every now and then.

There are two members of the family who are not in good health, so their lives are certainly not easy, and they are even tighter than those of the Liu family.

The clothes that were sorted out last time for Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Yumei are still in Liu Xinyu's possession.

After Liu Xinyu came through, she met Liu Lifang's family on the day of the engagement banquet.

I originally planned to give the clothes to Liu Lifang after drinking the engagement wine, but was delayed by the commotion.

Liu Xinyu thought for a while, then let's go and have a look together, just in time to send the bag of clothes.
Chapter completed!
