Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 675 This year’s special food distribution

"Then do you want me to knock on your door in the middle of the night?"

"Is there anything else to say here? But sister, if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, there will definitely be trouble. How can I not open the door?"

"Haha. That's funny. Someone is coming later. If you want to, just open the door. If not, just don't talk to her."

Han Li returned to the house and shook off the snow from his body, lit a candle and added firewood to the stove to burn water.

After touching the fire and it was quite warm, he took out animal skins and coats from the decomposition space and spread them on it as bedding.

After making a cup of tea, ironing his feet, and pouring the footbath water out, Han Li looked at the snow that was still falling in the sky, and thought to himself that with this weather, he didn't know if he would be able to travel tomorrow. If he had known that, he would have just been there. We should discredit and go back. It would be a joke if we were trapped here.

At this time, the people in Datongpu were still busy, and their voices sounded like they were drunk again.

Han Li smiled, turned around and locked the door. He put the candle and the enamel cup on the kang, sprinkled some rosin powder on the clothes he took off to remove the smell that he had just picked up at Datong Pu. Get into the warm bed and read by candlelight.

The dim lights and warm quilt made Han Li fall asleep after a long day of riding. He put down the book, waved his hand, fanned out the candle, and pulled the animal skin over to sleep.

Han Li had just fallen asleep when he heard the noisy arrival of guests outside. After a while, the sister-in-law named Zhenzi opened the door to the arm room for them. Although they didn't know who it was, they complained that they didn't have room. When the kang is not warm, etc., it should be that he often goes out to stay in hotels, either at the public expense, or that his own conditions are not bad.

However, it seemed that Han Li was destined to be unable to have a good rest today. After he settled in, he probably bought some vegetables from the stove. After closing the door, he started drinking alone, drinking in a bar. Normally, drinking alone would not affect Han Li. Go to bed immediately.

But this man must have been angry for something today. He was drinking and cursing at the same time. The thin wall couldn't block his voice at all. The noise made Han Li unable to sleep peacefully. He took out some cotton from the decomposition space and plugged his ears. It's just a little bit better.

I don’t know how long it took, but Han Li had fallen asleep again. Suddenly he heard someone knocking on his door. This time Han Li was woken up again. Before he could speak, he heard someone outside. A woman speaks.

"His eldest brother, the Chinese New Year is coming in more than a month. Our family doesn't have any money for the Chinese New Year yet. Do you want me to help you relax?"

As soon as Han Li heard this statement, he knew that it was the situation that Sister Zhenzi said. However, before he could refuse, the person who checked in next to him opened the door and pulled the person into the room with a whoosh. Then I heard a sound coming from the next room.

"how much is it?"

"piece"

"What? Why do you want one piece when everyone else is getting fifty cents? Do you have gold on your body?"

"Brother, how are you doing? If it doesn't work, I'll go out, it's snowing all over the sky."

"Mard, let's do what you say, but you'll have to do what I say later."

When Han Li heard this, he didn't want to listen anymore, because he knew what would happen next, so he stuffed cotton into his ears and pulled up the animal skin to cover his head.

But the soundproofing of this wall was really fucked, and the sounds kept pouring into his ears. It was impossible for a person to sleep in this situation, not to mention a master like Han Li whose energy and blood were far beyond ordinary people.

Fortunately, the guy who checked in later was in really bad health. Before three minutes had passed, the troops next door had already retreated.

After a while, Han Li's door was knocked again, but this time he pretended not to hear the knock. The knock on the door went quiet after a while, but the person who heard the sound should have gone to Datongpu. .

Even without this annoying sound, Han Li still didn't sleep well tonight.

The next day, Han Li got up and did some simple activities in the house. After washing, he opened the door and saw that snowflakes were still slowly falling in the dark sky, and the snow on the ground had reached more than his ankles.

Han Li sighed, thinking that he would have to go back today if it snowed, otherwise it would be too painful to have another scene replayed at night.

When Han Li took out a bucket of water from the well and put it back into the house for burning, he then took some fodder from the hay shed, walked to the stable and mixed some cornmeal and soybeans to feed the horse he rode. , after it was full, Han Li dissolved a little salt in hot water, added cold water to adjust the temperature, and then led the horse to the water tank to drink.

While the horse was drinking water, a flashlight shone on Han Li, and then the voice of the sister-in-law was heard.

"Brother, you got up so early, what are you doing?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"

"It's not like you woke me up, because my job is like this. I can sleep for a while when I have time, and I wake up when there is any noise. But since you got up so early, shouldn't there be some noise last night that kept you awake all night?"

"The thunder outside won't delay my sleep. I plan to go to the county town at dawn. I'll feed the horses now so that I can save trouble while walking."

"Going to the county seat in this situation? Are you familiar with this road?"

"I'm not familiar with it. This is my first time here."

"Brother, if you are not familiar with the road, I advise you to leave later."

"Sister, is there anything in this?"

"There was no snow on the road when you came here, and the horses would avoid the potholes on the road. But now that it has just snowed on the road, the horses can't see the uneven places. It would be better if you walked slowly and at a slower speed. Hurry up and the horse will easily injure its legs if it steps into the pit. If that happens, you will become a horse and a rider."

"Ah, horse hooves are not that brittle, right?"

"I don't know if it's brittle or not. I just heard that this happened to someone before. So in order to avoid this situation, many people wait for the locals to walk twice and wade out a path in the snow. It’s best to leave after that.”

Although Han Li didn't know if he would be so unlucky to encounter this kind of thing, he had been advised to eat enough and leave a little later, so it was best for him to be safe.

"Thanks for the reminder, sister. Then I'll wait for others to take a trip before leaving."

"Is this right? You must not have slept well last night. Now go back to the house and rest. I will tell you when someone walks on the road."

Han Li tied up his horse and went back to the house to sleep. It was impossible to sleep. He lit the candle again and made himself a cup of tea. He sat in front of the table and slowly read a book.

When I finished my drink and made tea, there were already other people moving in the yard, but the leaders among them took a look at the situation, and then returned to the house cursing. It seemed that the sister-in-law was not right. wrong.

Seeing this, Han Li had no choice but to wait calmly, hoping that some people from the surrounding villages would go to the county town early today. But just when it was time to start dinner, the man on top of the small stove shouted in the yard.

"This morning we served rice porridge, sorghum, shepherd's purse, and rutabaga. We didn't prepare much, and it would be gone if we arrived late. Those who cook on the big stove first go to the accounting office to pay."

This voice made most people walk out with their lunch boxes, but Han Li really didn't want to eat that sorghum steamed bread, so he put down his book and took out a large ribba from the decomposition space and roasted it on the stove. When it was soft, he had a cup with it. Tea has been explained for breakfast.

Before Han Li's big ribs were baked, his sister-in-law named Zhenzi pushed open the door and came in. Before anyone came in, the sound could be heard.

"Brother, why don't you go out to eat?"

"sister."

"I thought you were asleep and didn't hear the shouting. It turns out you prepared food yourself, so it's okay."

The sister-in-law remembered that she had not eaten, so she came over to call him. She would have to wait for someone to notify her to leave. Now she saw the big cake on the stove. Han Li couldn't let her go back empty-handed, so he said quickly.

"Sister, wait a minute. I can't finish such a big dish by myself. I'll share some with you."

"It was embarrassing enough for me to eat a bottle of canned food from you yesterday. Now, what's the point of eating this foreign thing from you?"

"Sister, this weighs five kilograms. I can't finish it by myself, so you should help me share some of it."

While Han Li was talking, he broke off half of the big bra and handed it over to her. However, the sister-in-law didn't answer anything she said, and she accidentally let it fall on her big bra. She could feel the size through the cotton-padded clothes. Small.

When Han Li felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say, the sister-in-law giggled and nodded at him and said.

"Brother, please follow me and wait for me. Did you hold back what you heard from Qianggen last night? Do you still despise the kind of person you were yesterday? In this case, I will accept it. You can wait for the news later."

After saying that, Han Li nodded again, took the half of the big leba and turned around to leave.

This sister-in-law's behavior made Han Li a little bit dumbfounded. What does this mean? It's better to leave early if you finish eating later. Even if you rush at a snail's pace, it's better than letting others misunderstand you.

Then again, I would do something like that in an unfamiliar place like this because my brain was twitching. To be honest, even if I change the venue to the wilderness, I will feel safer than here.

At this time, Han Li was not in the mood to wait for Da Lieba to heat up naturally. He sat next to the stove and opened the damper and started to bake it quickly.

After Han Li finished eating, there was no sound of people or cars leaving outside, so he packed up his things and carried a kettle to the accounting room to check out.

"Sister, I'm checking out."

"Check out? No one is walking on the road yet? Aren't you worried about something happening to the horse's leg on the road? The horse's leg is a small thing. If it pins you down, your leg may be broken."

"Well, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent that I need to leave immediately. At most, I will lead the horse and walk slowly on the road."

When the sister-in-law heard what Han Li said, she looked at him carefully for a while and said with a giggle.

"Brother, are you thinking wrongly if you are leaving in such a hurry?"

"That's not possible. I really have something to do."

"Okay, this is nothing. Anyway, I have been misunderstood a lot of times, but I still want to tell you, I never do this kind of thing. The person who said this to me last time, his egg yolk They were all kicked out by me.

What I just meant is that if you don't leave tonight, I will try to find one for you. It's definitely not the kind of thing that knocked on the door last night, but if you want to leave, forget it. The canned and big ribs are delicious. This time I will treat you as my sister and I will treat you to something nice next time I have a chance. "

"Sister, are you kidding? I'm really not that kind of person. Don't worry about food. I'm in a hurry to go back and see you?"

"Okay, I'll check you out right now. But for so many years in the carriage shop, except for those who have no money or are sick, I have almost never seen a cat that doesn't eat fish. But brother, you are from a big city. It’s normal for educated youth to have a higher outlook.”

"Sister, can we not mention this matter? I really have something to do when I go to the county seat."

It took Han Li a long time to complete the check-out procedures amidst the teasing of his sister-in-law. At this time, it seemed that the two-person affair at Datong Shop was about to start again.

However, Han Li had no interest in watching it now. With the help of his sister-in-law, he tied the reins on the horse, put on the saddle, tied the girdle and led him out of the carriage shop.

"Brother, if you are in a hurry to go to the county seat, I won't stop you, but you must go slowly on the road, especially on that section of the road, it is best to lead the horse."

Han Li thanked the sister-in-law again before getting on his horse, but in the current situation he could only let the horse move at the slowest speed.

At this time, there were still snowflakes in the sky. As Han Li wrapped himself up tightly and hurried on, the head of Shanghe Village, Zhao, Captain Liang, and other people from the village committee were sitting with several elderly people. Let’s discuss together how to distribute food this year.

Although it started to snow yesterday, these people had suffered from hunger in the past. No one knew what the situation would be like next year. This year, they happened to encounter a herd of wild boars and a blind bear. Their village took a clever trick. , took advantage of it.

But what about next year? What if next year is the same as this year? Will there be such good luck again? If not, will the children in the village really be allowed to go to the mountains to risk their lives? These are the children they watched grow up.

Are you saying that prey in the deep mountains is so easy to find? Sometimes you may not be able to reap the rewards even if you stay in it for months.

Finally, after everyone discussed it, it was unanimously decided that in order to prevent this situation from happening again next year, Shanghe Village decided to distribute grain but not dividends this year.

Grain distribution without dividends means that you will be given as much grain as you need in proportion to this year's harvest, but the equivalent of the relevant work points will not be given this year. All the money will be recorded in the village committee's ledger. Villagers who do have urgent needs at home can get it from Advance payment by the village committee.

If things go well next year, everyone will receive the bonuses they deserve in the past two years.

If the situation is still not good next year, all the money that will not be distributed to everyone this year will be used to buy food. This will at least make the villagers' lives a little better.

But when the loudspeaker in the village shouted the news, it immediately aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

PS: This year is the seventh day of the Maosui infusion. I had the infusion in the morning and a review in the hospital for a long time in the afternoon. Finally, I was prescribed a lot of medicine and went home. If there is no recurrence within two days, the update will gradually stabilize, and I will try my best to make up for the missed chapters from the past few days. I’m too tired today and that’s all I can do. Sorry! ! !

Mao Sui faced the wall and whispered, "It's the end of the month, please support me if you have monthly tickets!" ! !
