Chapter 67
“This is coming out.”
The three of them were very excited when they heard the news of the dividends and hurriedly put on their clothes.
When he opened the door, the biting cold wind came towards him, and Li Wen woke up instantly.
"Mom, when did you notify me? Why didn't the village ring the bell?"
The wind was very strong, and the bell was roaring constantly, and the bell was ringing, and the dividends were distributed, so the laborers were just enough. The whole village had to go to ring the bell. It was too cold and the children and the elderly could not stand it. Mother Wang Chunmei explained.
"Come on, everyone hurry up and go to the village to line up to receive dividends after dinner."
Second aunt had already brought the food out, but she was in a hurry.
After dinner, the strong laborers of Li Wen's family wrapped their clothes tightly and rushed towards the village committee while creaking snow.
Today, the wind is blowing hard all the time. Second Aunt, whose hair is blown in a mess, complained.
"The strong wind will definitely stop snow. The snow has been falling intermittently for several days, and it should stop. It is also a disaster if there is too much snow!" Wang Chunmei continued.
"If it weren't for the frequent snow removal of our thatched roofs in the past few days, I would probably have been crushed. I can't get it down any longer, as it will be difficult to clean up when I get it down, and I can't leave my relatives during the Chinese New Year." said the second uncle Li Dezhong.
"Her aunt, why did you think the dividends are so late this year?" Cui Yanzi and her mother Wang Chunmei had a family conversation.
"I don't know the situation. It should have been a long time ago in previous years. The village should have delayed something this year." Wang Chunmei shook her head and said.
"The dividends this year are indeed late. I noticed half a month ago in previous years, but it was not very cold at that time. Maybe it was because the accounts were relatively large this year, and the village had been reconciling accounts for a long time." Father Li Deyou analyzed.
"It should be!"
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Several people walked carefully on the snow while talking. Soon they arrived at the village committee.
Today, due to strong winds and snow, the dividend location has been changed and it has not been distributed in the wheat field. Instead, it is distributed in the production team canteen.
"Old Jiu, you have arrived early!" My father greeted Uncle Jiu who had arrived in advance.
"No, we just arrived." Uncle Ninth, Li Decai, who looked happy, said with a smile.
Today, most of the people who came to the canteen are half-aged boys like adults and Li Wen. The children were not given up because they were afraid of making trouble.
"Everyone is very happy today. I guess I can share more money this year." Father Li Deyou took out his dry tobacco bag and said to Uncle Jiu.
"Come on?"
The two were smoking dry tobacco. Li Deyou looked around and the men were basically waiting for the dry tobacco. The women were excitedly urging home, guessing how much dividends would be this year.
I heard that the family next door Chenjiazhuang has only divided more than 40 yuan this year, and many families still owe a lot of production teams. A woman whispered to her neighbors. (Don’t guess randomly if you write it, be careful to die the book.)
Time passed by everyone's expectations, and the village committee cadres had arrived. Now they were reporting the number of households to see if there were any people.
"Okay, everyone has arrived, everyone is quiet, and the meeting is started. The third uncle Li Dequan maintained order on the side and spoke."
After everyone calmed down, the old branch secretary Li Jun, who was sitting in the front row, began to speak.
"It's cold today, so I'll ask everyone to come to the cafeteria for a meeting. I think this decision is good." Li Juncai said with a smile.
"It's the annual dividend conference again, and this time of year is also a summary of the production and life of our entire village."
"Every year-end, it is to test the production performance of the entire production team and every family."
"However, everyone has performed very well this year. The production labor in our village has produced great results." Hearing this, everyone in the village laughed.
"This year, due to the excellent performance of our village, the commune and the county praised our village." Then the old branch secretary Li Juncai made a brief summary of some of the things this year.
Looking at the people sitting below hearing the praise from the commune and the county, they showed a look of joy and pride on their faces. The old branch secretary nodded with satisfaction.
The people of this era value collective honor very much, far exceeding individuals.
"Okay, let the accountant report to everyone." Li Juncai didn't talk too much and just acted directly.
Li Juncai sat on the stool beside him, and Li Dequan's account books sat in the middle.
"This year, in addition to the harvest of grain production due to natural disasters and other reasons, the side job is relatively a bumper year."
"Last year, the total dividends that could be paid and retained in our village were 14,000 yuan." Li Desheng announced.
Wow! With Li Desheng's announcement, everyone present stood up in an instant.
You should know that last year their village only paid less than 7,000 yuan in dividends, and this year it has doubled more than doubled!
There are 128 households in Sanxing Village, which is an average of hundreds.
Members with more laborers calculate how much money their family can spend in a year. Those with less laborers start to calculate whether their family still owes the village.
"Okay, everyone sit down and start to pay dividends. I'll call that family, and the head of the household comes to collect the dividends and press his handprints." Li Desheng shouted.
After half an hour of nervous waiting, the name of his father Li Deyou was finally shouted in front of him.
My father and second uncle hurried forward to collect the engraved private seals.
Three or four minutes later, my father and second uncle quickly returned to the crowd.
"How about it, how much dividends are?" Second Aunt stood up and asked hurriedly.
"Go back and say, I'll see you." Uncle II whispered to Aunt II softly.
"Sit down first, go home with dividends and say that you will be issued later. Dequan said that there are many bills in the village this year, and there are many bills." Li Deyou said.
"Look at what tickets can be issued this year! It's best to have industrial coupons and daily necessities tickets." My mother and second aunt lit up when they heard the bills.
"Mom, Aunt Second must have good tickets this year. When selling canned food, the supply and marketing cooperative, department stores, and food companies all gave a lot of tickets." Li Wen, who was sitting next to him, said softly.
Wang Chunmei and Cui Yanzi knew that Li Wen was definitely right. Li Wen and the leaders of these units in the county also knew each other and must be well-informed.
The other villagers sitting beside him were all looking forward to Li Wen when they heard what Li Wen said.
More than an hour later, the dividends of more than 100 households in the village were paid.
"Okay, everyone has received the dividends. This year our village is very good, and no member owes the production team."
"Even Li Demin, a large debt owed by our village, has paid off the debt he has accumulated over the years, and there are still more than a dozen yuan left."
"Let's encourage Demin." Old Secretary Li Juncai took the lead in applauding.
As mentioned above, Li Demin's family has seven fairies including Li Zhaodi. There are twelve people in the family, and ten people cannot work. Only Li Demin and his old father support this family, and the rest are all for dinner.
In the past, Li Demin's family had his head sluggish in dividends every year. You should know that if you owe money from the village, you owed money from the whole village, so Li Demin never had a tough time.
This year, Li Demin finally straightened his back, with tears in his eyes and smiled to welcome everyone's encouragement.
"It's time to issue bills. This year's bills will definitely satisfy everyone and be surprised." Li Junli said with a smile.
"This year, our village canned workshop was established and we have reached cooperation with three hottest units in the county."
"The dividends in the village, bills, and even everyone's good days and the contributions of a person are invaluable." Everyone knows who it is, right? Li Junli looked at Li Wen and asked with a smile.
"Xiaowen, Xiaowen!"
Everyone who received the dividend responded and looked at Li Wen.
"Okay, let's welcome the good young man from our Li family. Li Wen will come to the stage to receive the award." Li Junli applauded.
Li Wen blushed and came to the front desk at the greeting of the villagers.
"Xiao Wen, this year you have made great contributions to our village, commune and county. The commune and county have awarded you a certificate of awards. Congratulations."
Fourth Master Li Juncai handed Li Wen two certificates and said with a smile.
After Li Wen presented the award, Li Juncai asked him to turn to everyone.
"Let me announce it here. This year, member Li Wen has made outstanding contributions to the commune and the county, helping the country earn precious foreign exchange."
"The county awarded Li Wen's title of county model worker! A special reward was given to a radio ticket, with 40 yuan in cash. The commune also issued a certificate and 30 yuan in cash. Let us congratulate him!" As he said that, the village cadres stood up and applauded.
"Wow, model worker!"
The villagers were very excited when they heard that Li Wen was awarded the model of labor. This was the most enviable reward for farmers.
After everyone calmed down, production team leader Li Junli stood up.
He said: "The county and the commune both gave rewards to Li Wen, and our village is no exception. Therefore, our village cadres discussed and rewarded Comrade Li Wen with 25 yuan in cash and 10-foot cloth tickets."
Then everyone applauded.
Not many people in the village rewarded Li Wen, and the members had no objection.
Then Li Junli motivated the villagers. The village would reward the members who had outstanding labor and production in the future, and also called on everyone to learn from Li Wen.
"Start the invoice!" Li Junli announced.
Accountant Li Desheng took out a small box from under the table and placed it on the table.
Ordinary bills are allocated in advance, and everyone will collect them by household. The village will finally announce the precious bills. The villagers will go to the village committee for exchange at a price, and try to be fair and just.
It took more than an hour of pulling and pulling, and everyone received the bills one after another.
Because the kettle broke, Li Wen's family's mother Wang Chunmei took out two dollars to exchange for two kettle tickets and then exchanged for some coal tickets.
Because there was no oil lamp in the room, Li Wen used his private money to exchange for an oil lamp ticket and a fountain pen ticket.
It was not until the precious bills were exchanged by members that the village announced that this year's dividend conference was completely over.
Li Wen's family was very excited while walking home. Second aunt and second uncle kept praising Li Wen, which made his mother laugh.
Today's dividend conference was open for quite a long time, and it was already past lunch time for everyone to get home. But everyone was not in a hurry to have a meal, but closed the door and came to the old lady's room to check the dividends.
Chapter completed!
