"Okay! Let's eat canned food."

The young people and children in the village were the happiest and screamed and clapped their hands. It was obvious that the village's decision was a wise one.

Recently, the village distributed cans to the workers in the canning factory, which made families who did not have them eager to eat!

How could the members not be happy when they heard about the welfare in the village today?

"Let's start distributing cans!" Following the shout of production team leader Li Junli, five or six men walked out of the village committee carrying baskets.

"Just send one person from each family to come forward and collect the cans!" Li Junli said.

As Li Junli finished speaking, hundreds of women poured out of the wheat field.

Li Wen's family had all eaten canned food, and except for a few little ones, the adults didn't particularly care. They sent the second sister to get the canned food, but everyone stepped back one after another.

Ten minutes later, everyone returned to the crowd in the wheat field after receiving the cans. The children did not care about the coldness and did not let go of the cans. The angry adults started to clean them up.

"Okay! Next, let me share with you the grain reserves in the village. As you all know, our village is different from the production teams of other villages. Every year, the village reserves some grain to prepare for emergencies. This year's autumn grain harvest has been short, and there have been many grain shortages recently.

Commune members began to seek support from the village, but I didn’t even ask because of the end of the year reckoning. I will distribute food to everyone today so that everyone can have a good year," said Li Juncai, the old party secretary.

"Head of the household, follow me to the granary," Li Junli walked towards the granary.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that they needed food. Everyone also knew that the village had a spare granary. This was decided by unanimous vote in the village in the past few years. Every year, part of the food was saved and used in disaster years to survive. But they didn't expect that just now

If it is implemented for one year, it will be a year of disaster.

Every summer and autumn harvest, the village will divide a portion of the grain after harvesting, and the rest will be distributed at the end of the year, so that everyone can have a good year, and it will also help some poor families in the village borrow grain. But these two years have been really difficult.

, so the village will distribute food in advance according to the situation.

Li Wen's father Li Deyou was the head of the household, so Li Deyou hurriedly queued up to receive food.

The head of the household went to line up, and all the children in the family ran home to get their poles and tools.

Distributing grain was a delicate job, and it was said that each household head should do it, but every household was afraid of being under-divided, so women and children followed one after another.

Li Wen's family waited in line for more than an hour before his father Li Deyou, his second uncle and his eldest brother came out carrying food bags.

"There are quite a few heads of the household," said her mother, Wang Dongmei, with a happy face as she looked at the two sacks and a pole of grain carried on her back.

"Tell me when I go home."

Li Deyou winked, took the lead and walked home with the sack on his back.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon after Li Wen's family received the food. The weather in the north was too cold and everyone couldn't bear it. Following Li Deyou's footsteps, they rushed home.

When I got home, my father put down the food and sighed. Because of the queue and the more than ten minutes of walking with the food on his back, the faces of my father, second uncle, and eldest brother were all red with heat.

"The grain reserves are divided according to the proportion of work points. We have a bumper harvest this year, and the grain we share is no less than that of the Liuhu family." Li Deyou took a puff of dry cigarette and said with a smile.

(Six Tigers refers to a family in the village that gave birth to six young men, and they are all strong laborers)"

"That's right! The restaurant we met through Awen did a lot of excrement this year, and we did earn a lot of work points. When it came to sharing the harvest, he was one of the best in the entire production brigade." Second uncle Li Dezhong said with a smile.

"Today we distributed one hundred catties of wheat, two hundred catties of corn, and more than one hundred catties of sweet potatoes. These grains will last until next summer's harvest. Our family finally has enough food," Li Deyou smiled happily.

Li Wen calculated that the grain distributed to the family today plus the grain storage is almost one thousand kilograms. By June next year, each person will have about four taels of grain a day, which is indeed enough.

In the past few years, the granary has bottomed out every year at the end of the year, and the most difficult time comes just after the New Year. There is no food at home, and there is no food in the village, so we can only apply to buy resold grain.

The members' dividends for the year have also been wiped out in the past few months, and many families cannot wait for the rebate grain. They can only borrow it from the East and ask for it from the West, and then pay it back when the rebate grain arrives.

At this time, both adults and children in the family smiled happily when they heard Li Deyou said that there was enough food in the house. Food is the most important thing for people, and nothing makes people happier than having a full meal.

Then everyone began to put grain into the warehouse and sweet potatoes into the cellar.

By the time all this was done, it was already dark.

"The food has arrived today, and I will bake pancakes for everyone to eat. "My mother is very generous today, and everyone is very happy."

An hour later, the hot pancakes made by Erhe Noodles came out of the oven. Everyone drank corn and hazelnuts, and had another bite of pancakes with shredded potatoes. This life was really satisfying, and it could be seen from the happy faces of the few little guys.

"Master, do you think this year's dividend will exceed one hundred?" Second aunt Cui Yanzi looked at second uncle Li Dezhong and asked with a smile.

"You ask me? I don't know. But this year is another year of famine, so I don't know how much it will be divided." The second uncle frowned and thought for a while and said.

"That's right. Apart from the peach orchard and the canning workshop, the village won't earn much this year," Li Deyou said, nodding.

"Anyway, it's definitely better than the previous two years," said her mother, Wang Chunmei, with a smile on her face.

"Definitely, it was so difficult the year before last. Not many animals in the village were killed. We still divided more than 40 yuan during the New Year. This year, our Awen family's income in the village has increased by an unknown amount, and the dividends are definitely indispensable." Cui Yanzi.

Analyzed with a smile.

"In recent months, when trading cans, several units have received a lot of subsidy bills. The state only collects taxes and does not require bills. Even if the money is less, there will be no shortage of bills this year," Li Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, notes are much more useful than money," the second aunt said with a happy smile.

After eating, everyone chatted for a while, then turned off the oil lamps and went to sleep. After all, the price of oil is not cheap.

In recent days, the weather has become increasingly cold. Because the weather is very cold, the village has notified the pigs to be handed over yesterday.

Early this morning, Li Wen and his family packed up because they were going to the town’s purchasing station to deliver pigs today.

"Our pig will definitely be the first in the commune this year," the second aunt smiled happily as she looked at the three fat pigs in the pig pen.

The two village mission fat pigs already weighed almost 200 kilograms. Even after Li Wen caught the little piglets, they were now standard big fat pigs. It was estimated by visual inspection that they weighed 1,560 kilograms.

As long as Li Wen is at home, these pigs will secretly take out some corn or wheat from the space and feed them every day. With the addition of a small swill stove, it is normal for them to grow quickly.

"Mom, can you not sell the little black pigs?" The little girl often feeds pigs with her family, especially the little black pigs that Li Wen caught, and it was Li Wen and a group of children who fed the big ones, so the little guys all feed the pigs.

Feelings arose.

Not to mention the little girls, killing pigweed is the task of Li Yong, Li Tao and Li Min. When the pigs are killed and sold every year, several children are also very reluctant to part with them.

Li Wen saw the little black pig that was only one hundred and sixty-seven years old. If it were a half-big pig in later generations, he would be a little reluctant to part with it.

"Mom, otherwise we won't give in to this little pig, and we won't kill him. Anyway, we still have two big tanks of green storage at home, which is enough for this pig to eat until spring."

"It's a pity to kill the pig now. It's the fattening time. I want to wait until the pig reaches 200 pounds before killing it," Li Wen said, glancing at his mother Wang Chunmei.

Everyone who was preparing to catch the pig in the backyard also stopped.

"Then let's do what Awen said! In previous years, there was no pigweed every winter, the cost of feeding increased, and the pigs also grew slower, so we all killed the pigs in advance."

"This year is different. There are still several large tanks of green pigs. It would be a waste to keep them. It is better to keep the small one. After all, we feed it ourselves and are not the village's task pigs." His father Li Deyou said with a smile.

"Okay, let's keep them. Mom and the children are raising these pigs very well this year. With these two big ones, there will be no shortage of meat." Wang Chunmei agreed with a smile.

"That's it, these two pigs rushed to the village breeding farm to see how the village arranged it." Li Deyou waved his hand and said.

Opening the pig pen, the family drove two big fat pigs to the village breeding farm.

Along the way, everyone in the village was very envious and admired Li Wen's family for raising these two big fat pigs, and complimented them one after another.

"Everyone is here! I'm really happy to see these big fat pigs," production team leader Li Junli said happily.

Sanxing Village is relatively large, so there are more task pigs every year, basically maintaining around 20 pigs.

This year, the pigs in the village are fatter than in previous years. Many pigs weigh more than 140 pounds. This is all because of the canning factory.

Every time the canning workshop peels the fruit, the skin is collected by the villagers and fed to the pigs. Therefore, the pigs have been well fed in the past few months, and their weight has naturally increased rapidly.

"Lao Wu, your pig is really big. It weighs almost 200 kilograms," production team leader Li Junli said in shock as he looked at Li Wen's fat pig.

"Your pig has a lot of fat. Let's keep one in the village and kill it to share the meat. We will give the other to the purchasing station later. It will definitely be the first one and it will also bring us rewards." Li Jun smiled brightly.

Arrangements were made.

"Okay, you can make arrangements for the army, but my family has two pigs this year, so the meat must be shared," Li Deyou said with a smile.

"Don't worry, we will divide it by weight. Your family has made a lot of pork this year! It can divide ten pounds of pork," Li Junli praised.

"Look what you said, my family has invested a lot in feeding these pigs. If it weren't for the sake of sharing more pork, who would have dared to take the big risk to feed two pigs? If one of them died, we would have to pay the village money," Li Deyou said with a smile on his face.

Smiled.

"However, when the time comes, it will be enough for us to have forty pounds, and the rest of the villages can just replace it," Li Deyou and Li Junli discussed.

"Are you sure?" Li Junli asked as he would no longer regret it after handing over the pig.

"I'm sure, forty pounds of pork is enough for our family and relatives to share," Li Deyou nodded and confirmed.

"Okay, the villagers will have to thank you," Li Junli said with a smile.

Li Wen's family needs money, so that's easy to handle. The village just happened to have a lot of income this year, so they paid it directly in cash, leaving dozens of kilograms of pork. There are only more than a hundred households in the village, so each family can get a lot of money on average.
