Chapter 267: Dividing Food and Money 1

The distribution of grains marks the end of the autumn harvest.

Pay enough to the state, leave enough for the collective, and the rest belongs to the people.

Feng Qingxue has been busy delivering babies and treating injuries recently, so she did not participate in the final calculation and did not know the rules. However, she knew that Wanglou Brigade had a higher harvest than most of the surrounding production brigades.

Adults under the age of 60, both men and women, can get 450 kilograms of rations, children under the age of three can get 150 kilograms, children aged three to seven can get 200 kilograms, and children aged seven to twelve can get 260 kilograms. Young men and women aged twelve to sixteen and the elderly over sixty can get 360 kilograms of rations, which is the amount for one year.

Other production brigades have low harvests, and adults can't get 300 kilograms of grain, let alone the elderly and the weak.

No wonder the people in Wanglou Brigade are always so energetic.

This ration is all calculated based on coarse grains, that is, dried sweet potatoes, corn kernels, etc. are included, and they are raw grains with skins.

Everyone can also ask for fine grains. According to the regulations, they can receive fine grains that account for 30% of the rations, that is, they follow the ratio of 7:3, and they cannot exceed this ratio.

This regulation does not mean that you will be given 315 kilograms of coarse grains and 135 kilograms of fine grains according to the ration standard, but you can choose to take out 135 kilograms of 450 kilograms of rations to exchange for fine grains, three for one.

Fine grains are wheat and rice. 135 kilograms of coarse grains can only be exchanged for 45 kilograms of fine grains.

In this way, an adult can receive a maximum of 315 kilograms of coarse grains and 45 kilograms of fine grains.

In addition to this exchange method, coarse grains can also be exchanged for freshly dug sweet potatoes. One kilogram of coarse grains can be exchanged for four kilograms of fresh sweet potatoes.

Not everyone can get food if they want to. If you have enough work points, you can get all the rations. If you don’t have enough work points, you can only get the rations earned by work points. The upside-down households must first pay off their debts from last year, and the remaining work points can participate in this year’s food distribution.

This year, Wanglou Brigade had a bumper harvest, and the income of each production team naturally rose accordingly. The total income minus various expenses was divided by the total working days. One working day was ten work points. Different production teams had different harvests and incomes, and the final calculated work value was also different. The work value of Feng Qingxue's production team was fifty cents.

Fifty cents of work value is ten work points and fifty cents. One work point is five cents, which is the production team with the highest work value in Wanglou Brigade. The lowest work value is the tenth production team, which is only thirty-five cents.

Although it is only thirty-five cents, it is not lower than the work value of two cents in Caohu Brigade.

From the autumn harvest last year to the autumn harvest this year, Lu's father earned a total of 1,800 work points. According to the work value, the total income is 90 yuan. This year, the price of raw grain is seven cents per catty. This income must first be deducted from the 450 catties of food money, a total of 32.4 yuan. If there is no need to deduct firewood fees and other expenses, he can finally receive 57.6 yuan.

Lu Tianjun, Lu Tianzhi, Guancheng, Guanyu, Feng Qingyun and Feng Qingxue are in the same household registration book. Their work points are not high. Lu Tianjun has 965 work points, Lu Tianzhi has 357 work points, Guancheng has 560 work points, Guanyu has 226 work points, Feng Qingyun has 165 work points, and Feng Qingxue has 1360 work points, a total of 3633 work points, and a total income of 181.65 yuan.

Feng Qingxue's ration is 450 catties, Lu Tianjun and Guancheng each have 360 ​​catties, Feng Qingyun has 200 catties, Guanyu and Lu Tianzhi each have 260 catties, and the family has a total of 1890 catties, which needs to be deducted 136.08 yuan.

Finally, there is 45.57 yuan left, and the firewood fee must be calculated first.

The corn cobs and wheat stalks after threshing are collective, not distributed to every household for free.

So, after taking into account other expenses, Feng Qingxue's family was left with only 20.6 yuan as a year's income.
