Listening to what his mother said, Su Daqiang thought of many things from his childhood. He still remembered going into the mountains and hearing the cry of a baby deep in the mountains.
It was getting dark at that time, and he and his brothers pushed and pushed each other, not daring to go in and take a look. They waited until the next day to walk hand in hand into the mountains and saw a piece of cloth covered with patches.
The swaddling clothes are still there, but the child is gone...
Su Daqiang felt very uncomfortable at that time, but he did not dare to think too much. His mother, who comforted him that it might be a baby, took the baby home.
Now that I think about it, the child was most likely thrown into the mountains by his parents to be eaten by wolves.
In such a time of constant war, parents who can raise their children are already good parents.
Su Daqiang knew in his heart that his parents didn't owe him anything, and his third brother certainly didn't owe him anything either.
"Mom, I didn't mean to make you and dad angry. I just felt so uncomfortable when I thought about going to work in the production team that my words came out without thinking. Don't be angry with me."
Su Daqiang blamed himself again: "You can scold me or hit me, but don't make yourself angry."
"I'm too lazy to be angry with you."
Li Xiu'e wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her eldest son and said, "Hurry in and apologize to your father."
"Yes, I'm going to apologize to dad now." Su Daqiang said and hurriedly got up and walked into the house.
Su Siyong said with a smile: "How come our eldest brother is so afraid of work like a child? Every time we ask him to go to the production team, he becomes anxious."
"No, I don't even dare to mention this to him now," Zhang Guilan said.
Apart from being lazy and not working hard, she didn't have any objections to Gouzi's father in other aspects, and he was usually pretty good to herself.
Those sisters-in-law in her natal family had to look down upon her brother, but she didn't have to.
Su Xiaomeng said at this time: "Some people are born to be afraid of work, like the commune member who lives in the same breeding yard as me. He doesn't get up until the sun is shining on his buttocks every time. He doesn't cut the grass and wants me to help him cut his horses.
Grass."
Li Xiu'e was angry when she heard this, "Why would you help such a person? Xiaomeng, you are too honest. If you don't need to do the work, you shouldn't do it, do you understand?"
"The person the little uncle is talking about is the uncle with dysentery, right?" Su Xiaowu interjected, "He asks you to help him with every job. He just pretends to be pretentious every time someone else comes to check, and he takes your credit and gets more work points than you.
.”
"Xiao Wu, is this true?"
"Yeah! I saw it with my own eyes. When the captain was here, he didn't know how active he was. As soon as the captain left, he started to work as a pony."
Zhang Guilan, who was sitting opposite Xiao Wu, heard this and turned to Su Xiaomeng and asked: "Lao Wu, why don't you tell the captain about this?"
"What are you talking about? You can't say it! The captain said that everyone should be united as one. He hates it when people make snitches on other members behind their backs."
"Then you can't let that kind of person take away work points in vain, and they get more than you..."
Before Zhang Guilan could continue, Su Siyong frowned and said angrily: "There are too many things like this in the production team. To be honest, if there are other ways to survive, I don't want to be in the production team anymore."
Everyone has opinions on the work of the production team.
Xiao Jinbao remembers that after the reform and opening up, rural areas began to distribute farmland to households. Before, production teams had always worked collectively.
Reform and opening up will be fifteen years away. We cannot place our hopes on reform and opening up now.
Her little mind was spinning, remembering the articles she had read about the era of large collectives.
Some production teams have high labor intensity and work hard all day long. The rations they receive throughout the year are not enough to fill their stomachs.
Some production team captains are highly organized and leadership-oriented, and lead the members to implement the distribution according to work policy. Everyone is highly motivated to work. Excluding the food that is handed in, the average amount of grain distributed to the members exceeds thousands of kilograms.
Not only are there wheat, sweet potatoes, and corn, but there are also oil crops such as flax, mustard, and hemp seeds. They have all-you-can-eat pork at the end of the year, and their lives are more prosperous than those in the city.
Obviously the production team of Qishui Village is the former.
If members of the commune are allowed to be lazy, work points will be distributed unfairly, everyone will be less motivated, and ultimately the grain output will be low. The production team leader has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Change the captain..." Xiao Jinbao suddenly came up with these three words.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Li Xiu'e thought she heard wrongly, "Jinbao, what did you say?"
"The captain is bad and he doesn't have enough to eat... replace him with someone else."
After she finished speaking, Su Siyong was surprised at first, and then exclaimed, "Mom, our Jinbao is such a lucky star. A baby at such a young age still knows this."
"Of course! It seems that your production team can't pay wages or divide the rice. It's the captain's problem!"
After Li Xiu'e finished speaking, Zhao Fengzhu said hurriedly: "Mom, don't talk nonsense. How nice is Captain Li? He was the one who promoted our second eldest son to become an accountant."
"What's so good about it? Didn't you hear what Xiaomeng said? He's lazy and doesn't do anything. As a result, his work points are higher than his. This is the fault of the captain."
She then added: "There is also the fourth child, what's wrong with him wanting wages? Why should all his work points be deducted? That Li Dashu is the captain of the production team, not the emperor, and he can do what others have worked so hard for in just one sentence.
All my work points have been deducted, which is too much."
Listening to her mother-in-law becoming more and more excited as she talked, Zhao Fengzhu blushed with anxiety, "Mom, you are saying this just because you want to make our second son useless, right? You only have the fourth and fifth sons in your heart, not your second son at all.
.”
"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, Jin Bao also said that the captain needs to be replaced!"
Zhang Guilan agreed with her mother-in-law, "Jin Bao is a lucky star. What she said must be right."
"Can you please stop being superstitious? Isn't it annoying to have good fortune all day long? She is just a little kid, what can she know?"
After Zhao Fengzhu finished speaking in disgust, she said to Zhang Guilan: "My mother-in-law is old, so she can just believe these unfounded things. Sister-in-law, you are also making noises all day long. I can't stay in this house any longer."
"If you can't stay any longer, then don't stay. It's as if no one wants to live with you."
"you……"
"What are you doing? Mom and I are having a nice conversation, and you have to interrupt."
Zhang Guilan was too lazy to talk to Zhao Fengzhu.
She said to her mother-in-law: "There is something wrong with our captain. In the production team in my natal village, my two brothers were given seven pounds of lean meat, eight pounds of pork belly, and six pounds of fat meat at the end of the year. How is it like our village? What is the distribution?
ah?"
Ye Xiangqin on the side couldn't help but marveled, "I actually got so much pork."
"Really? It's not like we only get that little bit of fat, and the frying oil is enough for two meals."
Listening to them chatting happily, Zhao Fengzhu said angrily: "If you want to talk about Captain Li, we can talk about it after the separation of the families. Don't involve the second son of my family."
Zhang Guilan sneered lightly, "Okay! The family will be separated soon anyway."
Jinbao noticed that the second uncle hadn't turned around yet, so he turned to look at the door, "Second uncle, you're so slow..."
"What's going on with the second child? He should be back by this time."
After listening to his mother's words, Su Xiaomeng stood up and said, "I'll go to the production team to find my second brother."
