The next day, except for the ten families agreed yesterday, the rest of the people were working honestly in the fields. Although they were still a little lazy and still half-hearted in their work, everyone was full of energy. There is a huge difference compared to yesterday, and his eyes are full of hope.
While working, I would look up to the mountain from time to time, trying to see if the families who went to pick sweet potato leaves on the mountain had come back.
At this time, Qiao Hua was coming back from the captain's leave. She took some things from home, carried a basket, and headed to Qiao Mu's house. She had been worried about her mother's condition since she learned the news last night. After dinner this morning, I asked for a leave from the team leader, and hurriedly brought some things from home to see the arbor.
After entering the door, I didn¡¯t even have time to find a place to put my things down, so I looked around worriedly:
"Mom, you are so courageous. You dare to make your own decision on such a big matter. You have also planted so many sweet potatoes on the mountain. You are not afraid of being tired at such an old age. I can't even go to the fields now. I'll be here soon. I feel sore in my waist and back.
Forget it, it's too late to tell you this now. I came here this time to bring you gold. I should have brought it to you a long time ago, but didn't you say you wanted to get a gold bracelet last time? , I happened to meet an old goldsmith some time ago, so I took it upon myself to ask him to make a thin bracelet, here it is!
It¡¯s a little thin, but it¡¯s not eye-catching! "
While she was talking, Qiao Hua had already taken out the gold bracelet from the basket and handed it to Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu also took it in surprise.
No matter how old a woman is, she will always like surprises and gifts. Even if sometimes she says don¡¯t spend money, I don¡¯t like it, etc., in fact, most of them are just words.
How much is still happy inside.
Of course, what I¡¯m talking about here are gifts from my wife and children. I¡¯m not talking about random people giving gifts to women, and women will be happy.
"You are really spending a lot of money. It costs a lot of money to have the gold made into a bracelet by a goldsmith. The pattern is also beautiful, and it looks very delicate!
How much it cost to hire a goldsmith, I¡¯ll give it to you! "
¡°Mom, it doesn¡¯t cost much!
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for helping us exchange gold. If you hadn't exchanged one tael of gold for our family and given us 170 yuan, our family would have been without food a week ago.
Alas, at that time, I was thinking that I might not get much food during the summer harvest, so I had to exchange some money to pay for it, and I felt relieved. But who knew that the summer harvest was not about not getting much food, but basically no food. During this period, Lao Liu survived by secretly going to the black market every morning to buy grains. What he bought were all coarse grains.
Oh my god, mother, you don¡¯t know that the price of food on the black market is crazy. A pound of polished rice costs five yuan, and you have to pay for food stamps. Sweet potatoes can be sold for two yuan a pound. This is simply robbery. Money, originally I was worried that the little money at home might not last long and I had to find a way to exchange it for gold. Now I don¡¯t have to worry! "
Qiao Hua waved her hands repeatedly. She paid no money at all for asking the goldsmith to make the bracelet. She only paid five kilograms of sweet potatoes. Although the price of five kilograms of sweet potatoes is not low now, how can this be measured in money? What's more, how could she have the nerve to ask for her mother's money.
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
While speaking, Qiao Mu had already put the bracelet on his hand and continued:
"I won't give you the money, but you can take some sweet potatoes back. There is still nearly a month until the sweet potato harvest in the mountains. It's not a big deal to go to the black market to buy food in the wild.
After all, even if your family only eats one pound of sweet potatoes a day, you will have to spend nearly a hundred yuan just to buy sweet potatoes. It is really not cost-effective!
Don¡¯t refuse this. I have secretly planted so many sweet potatoes in the mountains. There are also many scattered planting sites in other places. I put the sweet potatoes in the kitchen, which weighs about fifty kilograms. You can take them all with you. , don¡¯t be afraid that I won¡¯t have anything to eat, I also hid a lot in other places, so I won¡¯t be hungry! "
Qiao Mu has always had the attitude that if you are good to me, I will be good to you. Whether it is a heart-to-heart exchange, or an exchange between interests, there must always be an exchange.
You can¡¯t just give without getting anything in return.
"Mom, why don't you tell me how many sweet potatoes you have planted? The number of sweet potatoes you have planted makes me feel a little panicked!
This yard is only so big"
Qiao Hua was really a little panicked. Her mother was so bold that she was worried. She was afraid that Qiao Mu would continue to do this after seeing the benefits.
¡°I haven¡¯t planted many, maybe a few dozen!
Let me tell you, I asked others to bring the sweet potato seedlings from other places. One plant can grow five or six kilograms, so although I only planted dozens of them, I also harvested hundreds of kilograms. The little I gave you is nothing! "
It was only at this time that Qiao Hua realized that the yield of sweet potatoes was low these days, with a normal sweet potato fruit weighing less than a pound, so Qiao Hua suspected that it was normal for Qiao Hua to plant too many trees.
"How come there are so many?
Oh, mother, did you buy the high-yielding grain seeds mentioned in the newspaper that can yield tens of thousands of gold per mu?
It¡¯s great. With this kind of seed, if our village can plant a little in the fields in the second half of the year, it won¡¯t be too much. A few dozen acres of it will be enough for everyone in our village. Although sweet potatoes cannot be used as public grain, But it can satisfy your hunger!
You have to suggest it to the village chief later! "
Qiao Hua was a little surprised at first, but then she thought of the propaganda saying that the yield per mu was ten thousand jins and one hundred thousand jins of grain, so she didn¡¯t think it was too strange. She just thought that Qiao Mu got these high-yielding sweet potatoes from those places. Okay. Very coaxing.
She didn¡¯t need Qiao Mu to find a reason to make it up, she rounded off Qiao Mu¡¯s words herself.
"Hmmwell, yes, that's it!"
What can Qiao Mu do now?
Pushing the boat in Shunshui is perfunctory.
No one is checking anyway.

In late August
The People's Daily published a long editorial on its front page titled "Distribution According to Work, Glorious Labor", officially drawing down the curtain on egalitarianism.
At the same time, the work point system with the principle of distribution according to work as its core has also officially begun to be promoted nationwide.
No one knows the source of the change, and no one cares. At this time, everyone is still generally concerned about what to do for the next meal, and working harder to earn work points, hoping to get more food when the harvest is at the end of the year.
Although the overall changes have not been significant, it is clear that farmers have become more active in their work.
These changes have also fully sounded the alarm to the people above. The implementation of various policies cannot be taken for granted. It cannot be feasible just because it is feasible in theory. Many changes in many aspects must be considered, and even the psychology of the people must be considered. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
