Chapter 348

Before Jiang Baohua could even call out their names, the commune members were already shouting spontaneously, "Xiao Wu and Educated Youth Xu!" At least they had a conscience! Jiang Baohua felt deeply gratified. "Alright, that’s it! Come and collect your dividends!" Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye had already collected theirs. Most of what the commune members were receiving today were dividends based on the production team’s investments and their individual labor points for the year. Since the factory had only been in operation for a short time, the most any family received was a little over ninety yuan, while the least was around twenty-three. The educated youths had also received a share—a genuine windfall for them. Add to that the wages members had been earning from their labor, with some having worked for two or three months, and many had accumulated several dozen yuan. Between that and the bumper harvest of the production team, households with plenty of labor power were heading home with several hundred yuan at the end of the year.
