Siheyuan: My Cui Dada is not stealing cattle

Chapter 1 The canteen is closed
Winter 1959.

The weather in December was cloudy and dry, and the branches of the old willow trees at the village head of Nantai Commune were bare, shivering in the cold wind.

In front of the dilapidated gate, only the dry branches of a pair of tall ginkgo trees remained, and the villagers picked up all the ginkgo fruits.

The old persimmon trees behind the house have lost all their leaves, not to mention their fruits.

Cui Dake held his big bowl in his mouth, glanced at the shriveled treetops with his eyelids between his eyes, and didn't even bother to sigh.

He rubbed his burning belly with hunger, and hurried to the large cafeteria on the west side of the commune with his head sullen.

In his pocket were five thin pieces of dried sweet potato that were two fingers wide.

Since I traveled here when I was 14 years old, I have adapted to it now. In this era, people lack food and clothing, and they have to report everything they do, and they have to be shot if they go out of line.

In the past three years, Cui Dake has been cautious and diligent.

Not to mention that the original Cui Dake stole the cattle in the village at the age of 14, and even the seemingly honest little widow didn't bother to provoke him.

Cui Dake has worked in the commune for another day today. He is a farmer who is doing heavy work in his prime. He has no oil and water in his stomach, and he can barely eat a catty of grain for a meal.

As far as the rations in the big cafeteria are concerned, one meal per person is only four taels of coarse grains. What's the use?

Cui Dake, who is only half a day away from turning 18, is in his prime. Fortunately, since the opening of the commune's canteen at the end of last year, he has been eating until now.

Cui Dake is a voracious eater, he eats the group anyway, and it is his own fault if he eats less.

He didn't starve himself to death, instead he ate and grew. Now he has grown to a full height of more than 1.8 meters, with a thick back and a waist.

"Tsk tsk! You must be eighteen years old, right? This little boy looks handsome, but it's a pity that he lost his parents early on. It's hard for this child."

Second Aunt Li followed closely behind Cui Dake. She had short legs and a short stature, but she walked fast, and her thick trousers could be twisted out of shape.

Cui Dake gave a dry laugh and said vaguely, "Hehe, Second Aunt Li, I will be 18 years old after tonight."

Cui Dake is a poor peasant with eight generations of ancestors, and he is honest and responsible. He has been working in the commune team to earn work points since he was 15 years old. Unfortunately, this eldest nephew lost his parents when he was 10 years old. The older he grows, the more he eats. He is 18, but in his situation, finding a wife is probably a big problem.

Second Aunt Li secretly regretted it.

Everyone rushed to the entrance of the cafeteria, and at the entrance of the big cafeteria, Cui Hesheng, the production team leader, with a cold square face and stubble, beat the gong and shouted:

"Attention, attention! Tomorrow the cafeteria will be suspended. After eating, each family will go to the team headquarters to divide the remaining rations according to work points, and each will go home and start a business. Today is the last meal!"

Everyone was startled, and they gathered around in a panic, asking in a hurry:
"Captain, why don't you run a good canteen? My family's cooking pots have been smashed to support the country's steelmaking, and the rations are all handed over to the canteen. Now you say that you don't want to run a canteen. Well, how does this make our family cook for ourselves?"

"Captain, how much rations are left? How to divide them!"

"Hey, Let Rang, Rang Rang, team, captain, don't, don't do it, make it bigger..."

"Big tongue, don't join in the fun! You still owe the team! What kind of rations..."

"Don't be noisy!"

Cui Hesheng stared bull-eyed, his face was so dark that ink dripped out, and he roared: "What's the noise? We'll temporarily suspend the operation until we have surplus food. The policy above says that we must be flexible, so what! Hurry up!" Yes, after eating, share the food and firewood, and go back to the house to cook. If you don’t have a pot, you can buy it, borrow it, and several companies will fight! How can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?!"

Cui Dake was calm in his heart, but he also stepped up and went to the team to line up for dinner.

He was not in a hurry to grab the rations, anyway, the accountant Cui Zhongguo, the accountant of the team, had a tricky abacus, and the rations of the players were indispensable, and he would not let you take an extra piece of grass. .

Cui Dake handed over his rations converted from work points to the cafeteria, but there was not much left.

It seems that this big canteen can't continue.

In fact, there are already signs of this. The leaders all say, "Eat dry when you are busy, eat thin when you are free, and eat half dry and half thin when you are not busy or idle."

But since the big cafeteria was established, people who are busy or not are struggling to eat dry food and eat more than enough food. Can they not suffer from a disadvantage?

This year's double rush season, the big cafeteria didn't cook much dry rice, but mixed most of the sweet potatoes, crushed corn, and added a drop or two of oil for fooling.

When it was his turn, Cui Dake handed over his big bowl, and said to Yunhainiang who was cooking with a smile:

"Auntie, you have a good hand, take two more from the bottom, and make it thicker for me?"

Cui Dake now has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp-edged face. He looks much more handsome than Cui Dake in the TV series in his previous life. When he smiles, his eyes are crooked and his hair is neatly combed. The patched ones don't look like peasants.

Look at Captain Cui next to him, with a wide mouth, bull eyes, big nose, and a generous face with a stubbled beard. Compared with him, Cui Hesheng looks like a farmer as the captain, while Cui Dake looks like a young college student.

Cui Hesheng also nodded at this time: "His aunt, it's time to grow up."

Old Cui's family is considered a big family in the commune, with a thriving population, and a large number of people naturally leads to a large number. Those surnamed Cui can have a slightly thicker voice than others in the production team.

Team secretary Cui Weiyan, production team leader Cui Hesheng, and Cui Dake didn't have five uniforms, and they were still from the same lineage in terms of relatives. They dare not pay attention to these things these days, but they will take care of some old Cui family members, otherwise it would be like Can Cui Dake, a half-child with no father and no mother, survive till now?

Yunhainiang rolled Cui Hesheng's eyes. Although she couldn't understand that Cui Dake was more handsome than her own son, she had such a sweet mouth that she couldn't bear to talk about him.

The big spoon stirred the bottom of the bucket a few times, picked up a few spoonfuls to fill up Cui Dake, and scraped some porridge bottom for Cui Dake. I don’t need to share it with you, everyone will eat their own!”

Cui Dake responded with a smile, took his bowl of porridge, raised his head and thanked Cui Hesheng, and went to the side table to eat.

He didn't look at the sad faces of other people at all.

He swallowed a little bit of porridge in one go, and finished eating the dried sweet potatoes in his arms.

Cui Dake touched his deflated stomach, it was filled with water, and it could rattle when shaken.

The system will be activated after tonight, and Cui Dake can't help feeling excited when he thinks of this.

Cui Dake doesn't know why he traveled to this world. He only knows that he is a college student who just graduated from the 21st century. His name is Cui Daihe. He is about to find a job. Hard to find.

I can only be an otaku while looking for a job at home, and occasionally watch dramas. I just stayed up late today to watch a few episodes of the TV series "People Are Iron Fans Steel".

When I woke up, I turned into my 14-year-old appearance. When I was stunned, but because I looked like Cui Dake, I was mistaken for Cui Dake by others, and after I quietly inquired, The real Cui Dake disappeared in this world.

It's really difficult for Daihe to become bigger and bigger.

Just crossing over is the age of half-stretched body.

There is an old saying that a half-child eats a poor old man, but the real old man would have been lying on the ground a long time ago. If Cui Dake hadn't been careful planning and gritting his teeth, he would have gone to the team to earn work points early. Cui Dake has starved to death, how can he survive until now.

And the other thing that supports me to survive is a countdown in my mind.

I saw a timer-like display in my mind: "It will take 6 hours, 12 minutes and 12 seconds to activate the system."

"Come on, come on!"

Cui Dake consciously withdrew from his mind, quietly stretched out his finger, and quietly scraped up a little porridge water flowing from the edge of his bowl, and quickly squeezed it into his mouth. He is a social elite in the new century, how could he be like everyone else? Lick the bowl?
After eating all the porridge in the bowl, Cui Dake sighed, then picked up his bowl and chopsticks in high spirits and walked out, towards the place where he lived.

Stepping on the bluestone road under my feet, I saw a skinny loess dog lying on the side of the road within a few steps.

Cui Dake's eyes lit up immediately, he stepped up a few steps, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the base of his ears.

Tut tut!Isn't this the rhubarb from the little widow's house? After a few days, I lost a little weight again. Oh, if I lose weight, I won't be able to smell the bones anymore.

"Cui Dake, what are you doing?" The little widow came running from behind panting, staring at him with wide eyes and shouting weakly.

"Oh, it's Sister Liu, what can I do? Isn't this getting close to Rhubarb? Look at how hungry I am." Cui Dake swallowed quietly, and laughed resentfully.

Rhubarb whimpered vigilantly, and quickly shrank behind his master.

"Don't bother you!" The little widow stared wide-eyed, not believing a word.

"Hey, kindly take it as a donkey's liver and lungs~" Cui Dake squinted at Rhubarb, and opened his voice regretfully.Facing the seemingly complicated eyes of the little widow behind her back, she shook her head and swayed back home.

The little widow's name was Liu Yulan, she was in her late teens and thirteen years old, and she wasn't ugly, but rather handsome. Unfortunately, her husband died of a serious illness after the little widow gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Liu Yulan is a well-known pretty widow in Nantai Commune.

The widow looked quite honest in front of her, but Cui Dake secretly discovered that the widow was a fine person, often hooked up with others, and had a deep scheming mind.

Before Cui Dake came here, the original Cui Dake would occasionally help to take care of him, helping to pick up water and chop firewood, but since he crossed over, he gradually alienated the connection with the little widow. The little widow wanted Cui Dake to help her collect food, repair the wall, etc., but Cui Dake directly refused.

Now the little widow is getting more and more displeased with Cui Da.
