Mrs. Zhang and Sun Chunying looked at each other. Under the old man's nose, they couldn't hold on any longer.
"We just heard that your production team is selling bean sprouts to the county recently?" Sun Chunying asked with bright eyes: "I heard that you can earn more than 10 yuan a day! Is it true?"
1 day, more than 10 yuan! Lucky 20 yuan! What is this? This is simply a dream!
Because for rural people, when they settle accounts after autumn every year, a labor force that works almost every day cannot earn thirty or fifty yuan a year!
Because not only do you earn work points, you also have to spend them.
Is 365 kilograms of rations given to you for free? Corresponding work points will be deducted!
Will the cabbage, potatoes, and radishes grown in the fields be given to you for free? Work points will also be deducted!
If you ask for leave during busy farming periods, your work points will be deducted.
If your family builds a house and cuts down trees, your work points will be deducted.
Etc., etc.
Some families have a large labor force. If the work points of the whole family are added up and there is still some left after deducting deductions, the family can get a share of the money. In total, the family can only get a few dozen yuan.
Some families have a small labor force. For example, if a man raises a family and earns no work points just for eating, then the few work points he earns will definitely not be enough to deduct the rations. In the end, he will have to owe the production team money!
Return next year.
If you don't pay next year, you won't have to pay it back the year after.
I won’t be able to continue the year after next.
For some families, until the 1980s when the distribution of property was distributed to each household and the production team was disbanded, the repayment was not completed.
But there is no need to pay it back at that time, and the debt will be lost.
So a little over 10 yuan a day, including those who failed, comes to about 300 yuan a month, which is an astronomical figure for rural people.
When the Zhang family heard about it, they couldn't wait a day and came immediately to find out the truth.
Hua Qiang said nothing.
Sun Chunying looked at Aunt Ma.
Aunt Ma snorted noncommittally.
Well, originally the village wanted to keep this matter a secret. With such a great good thing, they were afraid that other villages would take it away, so they kept it hidden.
But it can't be hidden at all.
Most of the wives in the village were married from outside the village. They could not hide for a few days before they all went home and told their parents and brothers.
Including herself.
But something evil happened, and the bean sprouts grown in other villages were not as good as those in their village!
Even if the daughter-in-law from Shantun Village goes home to give birth in person, without any intervention from her mother-in-law, the bean sprouts she produces are vastly different from those in her village, and people from other supply and marketing cooperatives don't want them at all.
This is really both joyful and sad news.
But since then, the secret of bean sprouts has spread.
Silence is the default!
Mrs. Zhang said to Hua Qiang: "My dear, we are here today to ask you something. Can you speak to the team and let us move to your backing village?"
The water in Kaoshantun is good, and only the water here can produce good bean sprouts. The county only accepts bean sprouts from Kuoshantun. They also know this news, so if they want to make money, moving to Kaoshantun is the best way.
