Zhao Xiulan nodded and replied, "Okay."
It was the secretary of the commune who entertained Zhao Xiulan and Niu Wei. The two comrades had already been notified in advance about their visit, so the party secretary came to entertain the two comrades in person.
For the communes and production teams below them, the cadres sent from above must be well entertained, and they must assist and cooperate well with their work.
Therefore, the secretary in the commune was very enthusiastic when entertaining Niu Wei and Zhao Xiulan.
Some of the cadres who came down before would show their faces to them. Now that Zhao Xiulan and Niu Wei have a very good attitude, they are relieved.
Otherwise, I have to think about how to please these two cadres from above.
Zhao Xiulan didn't talk too much, she didn't talk to the party secretary of the commune so much, and directly checked and checked the amount of food.
The secretary of the commune led them to the accountant's office, and then asked the accountant to show Zhao Xiulan and Niu Wei all the accounts of the commune this year.
After Zhao Xiulan saw the ledger, she had a headache. The accounts on it were "chaotic", and it looked complicated and troublesome.
It takes a lot of time to check the accounts.
However, the level of bookkeeping in this era is limited, the level of education is generally low, and there is a shortage of professional accountants. Maybe the accountants in the brigade or the commune are only at the level of junior high school students.
I didn't say anything, people's level is limited, so they can only make the account like this. It's a big deal to trouble you to check more, and it's pointless to blame others.
There are two ledgers in total, Zhao Xiulan handed one to Niu Weidao, "Let's check one ledger each, it will be faster."
Niu Wei had no opinion, took the account book and began to check it carefully.
The two people work in a division of labor, but they are relatively messy, so the calculation speed is still very slow.
Zhao Xiulan took out a piece of paper and simply made a report. Fill in the number on the ledger and make a statistic at that time, which will be convenient and accurate.
It was only halfway through and it was time for lunch.
She was fine, she didn't feel very hungry.
Niu Wei, a big man, has a big appetite and gets hungry faster. At this point, his stomach can't help but gurgling.
Niu Wei was a little embarrassed when he heard the movement of his stomach.
Isn't this telling others that you are already hungry?
The secretary of the commune smiled and greeted, "The two comrades have been busy for a long time, why don't you put the work in your hands for a while, and I will take you to the cafeteria for some food now, and come back to work when you are full?"
Zhao Xiulan saw the unfinished work, and it would take at least two or three hours to finish. After such a long time, I was afraid that there would be no food in the cafeteria, but Niu Wei must not be starved.
Zhao Xiulan put down the pen in her hand, nodded and said, "Then let's go eat first, and come back later."
Niu Wei also had a similar idea, "Okay, let's go to eat first, and then come back to work later."
"Let's go!"
The party secretary of the commune led two people to the canteen of the commune. Compared with the canteen of their grain bureau, the food in the canteen of the commune below was obviously much worse.
What everyone eats is usually a large pot of vegetables, there is no oil or water in it, and it is difficult to buy even refined grains.
The conditions of this era are like this, it doesn't matter if you eat almost anything, sometimes you can't even eat the bad food.
Zhao Xiulan heard some news that many people starved to death in many severely affected places this year.
So now for them, as long as they have something to eat, there is no need to be picky.
