Chapter 472
Lin Lan was telling Xiuyun’s mother and Dong Huaihua that Han Qingsong brought back so mushrooms and offered to give them each a handful to take ho. They were very fragrant when they were stewed in the at.
Neither of them declined as the both of them said it would be great.
The distribution of at was different from that of food. If the distribution was based on the roster, the latter would not be happy since there might not be any good parts of the at to be left over, so it was decided to draw lots.
Of course, not everyone would go up to draw the lots, but they would write their nas and put them in a bucket. Then, the butcher would call out the nas with every paper he drew. Because they were all folded, no one could see them, and since the butcher himself was illiterate, there were no tricks at play.
Moreover, there were cadres supervising the draws.
Xiuyun’s mother was lucky as she was drawn first. Instead, she let Lin Lan go first.
Lin Lan gave her a push, “Hurry and go.”
Xiuyun’s mother went to obtain her share of the at.
Lin Lan’s luck was not bad since her na was called by the 5th turn. The pork was divided according to the number of people in the family, but Han Qingsong wasn’t counted. However, since Lin Lan earned a good amount of money, the 7 portions of at were earned all the sa.
So people rely ate a lot and were less intent on working, so those with few work points and small numbers might only share a catty or even half a catty.
There were 7 people in Lin Lan’s family, but since there were more work points, the total amounted to a full 10 and a half catties.
Even if this wasn’t the most in the village, that haul had to be part of the top lists.
Without the n involved, won were the ones who led their children to claim the at. In this situation, since the work points and even the food were not enough, the at could only be taken care of according to the number of people in the family, which caused dissatisfaction among other Commune mbers.
After all, even if they were allowed to make their own money, they would not be able to make a mouthful of at at all. What they managed to eat would be equal to what others left over.
Nevertheless, Lin Lan was different. She was the chief planner of the Publicity Team, so she obtained the most work points. She usually would get food and at when going out to perform. Finally, the at could be divided with peace of mind.
Even if soone expressed their contempt, they couldn’t say anything to her face, so they could only be jealous.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “You don’t need to give us all the fat since you can also save so for others. Give 6 catties of pork belly and the other catties can be divided into ribs, pig’s cheeks or sothing else.”
The guy who was in charge of dividing the at was taken aback as no one had ever requested this before. Others would rush to ask for fat at instead of lean at, let alone bones and blood.
The Production Team leader and the accountant were watching. Seeing that Lin Lan was so enlightened, they said, “If you’re going to have bones, you can exchange 2 catties of it for one catty of at.”
