Chapter 16
In fact, Shen Yulin and Shen Yuxiu didn't have much homework, as long as they calmed down, they finished it in a while. When they went out to play, Shen Yulin suddenly felt a little puzzled.

This homework doesn't seem that difficult to do, why did my elder brother always fail to finish his homework and get beaten up.

No one answered Shen Yulin's doubts. Seeing that the two of them were going out to play, Grandma Fang told them not to run far away. After all, they are eating in the cafeteria now, and the cafeteria should have dinner when people get off work. If they miss the meal, no one will be there. Leave them a meal.

But the two children were obedient and didn't run away. The three adults who went to work and the other two children didn't see anyone until the team was off work and the cafeteria was about to open.

Grandma Fang took the three children and waited and waited until it was almost dark, and each household started to go to the cafeteria, and finally saw the three adults returning with the two children. Carried a bundle of things.

"What is this memorizing? Why did you come back?" It was getting dark, and Grandma Fang couldn't see what they were memorizing, but she hurried forward to help.

"Mianhuai note." Fang Youshun asked her to put the things on her back aside, and hurried to help her daughter and son-in-law. When the two put down all the cotton locust notes, she immediately urged several people: "Hurry up and wash your hands. Go eat first, there will be nothing to eat when it's late."

"Hey." Shen Jinggui agreed, and Fang Yan and Fang Yan hurriedly washed their hands with the two children, and rushed to the cafeteria with the whole family.

It wasn't until she returned home after dinner that Grandma Fang lit the kerosene lamp and asked Fang Youshun, "Aren't you tired after a day's work, and you still went to get so many cotton locust strips?"

"I don't want to weave some baskets and baskets to sell when I have free time." Fang Youshun said a little tiredly while slipping his shoes on the kang.

In fact, the commune stipulates that those who are 45 years old and above belong to the elderly, so they are not allowed to go to work, but he always feels that it is not a problem to be idle at home, so he goes to work every day, and at least he can earn some work points to subsidize his family.

"Now you eat in the cafeteria, you have an allowance, and our family doesn't lack anything. Why are you working so hard?" Grandma Fang disapproved.

"This cafeteria may not be able to eat for a few days." Fang Youshun snorted lightly, with a bit of sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" Grandma Fang was taken aback.

"You don't know, our brigade is doing better. Now some of the brigade's cooked food is almost falling into the ground, so we don't collect it." Fang Youshun sighed faintly as he spoke, and seeing Grandma Fang's puzzled expression, he continued Said: "Don't think about it, they don't go to collect food, what will they eat and drink after they finish eating the current food storage?"

"Then... why don't they collect food?" Grandma Fang was a little puzzled.

"Why? I don't want to work. Don't they all eat in the cafeteria now? I don't have anything to eat in my cafeteria, so I go to the cafeterias of other teams and other teams to eat. Otherwise, the higher-ups can't watch them starve to death?" Fang Youshun Speaking of this, I am a little angry.

In fact, not only other brigades, even our brigade, there are also some small teams who don’t want to work anymore. Who wants to work hard to collect food and feed it to those who don’t do anything? It’s not stupid.

Grandma Fang was stunned. Ever since she started eating big pot meals, she has been watching the children at home. She really doesn't know what happened outside recently.

But she spent her whole life digging in the ground, so Grandma Fang believed in one truth: there is food in hand, so don't panic.If you don't do anything and just rely on others, is that okay?
Fang Youshun saw that Grandma Fang was a little dumbfounded, and explained: "Actually, not everyone in those brigades doesn't want to do it, and some people feel sorry for them and want to collect food, but the small captain and the big captain don't say a word. If they go to collect food privately, that's Stealing collective property will be arrested and beaten by everyone, so who dares to collect it?"

Grandma Fang became even more stupid when she heard this: "Is there something wrong with them? If you don't collect food yourself, why don't you let others collect it?"

"That's not it." Fang Youshun was also very angry when he mentioned this: "Don't look at our team is still working to collect food, that is our son-in-law and our team leader, and a few good friends are pressing hard. Even here, there are still people who do foreign work and don’t work, they don’t think about it, they used to work so hard that they might not be able to eat all year round, but now they all don’t work, and then they will drink the northwest wind.”

Grandma Fang sighed and didn't know what to say.

"So, I just want to go back to my old job, get some cotton locust slivers, get some sorghum stalks after harvesting autumn, make some baskets, mats, etc. to sell in the market when I have nothing to do in winter, and replenish them at the time Secretly buy some food and store it at home, and if one day there is really nothing to eat, we won't be caught blind." Fang Youshun talked about his plan slowly.

"But..., but isn't the team not allowed to fire at home?" Grandma Fang was a little worried.

"I'm not afraid to stop the fire, but I'm afraid that there will be no food when the fire is made. It's not like we never escaped. Do we still care about it when people are hungry? After all, it's better to plan more than not plan at all." Fang Youshun A look of helplessness.

Grandma Fang also nodded in agreement.

That's right, you don't even have to eat, so what's the use of just keeping the fire off?It's always better to be prepared than unprepared.

"Okay, let's go to sleep first, that's what I said, it's all a matter of nothing, maybe it won't reach that point." Fang Youshun said that just as he was about to lie down, he saw Shen Yuxiu with her round eyes wide open. His eyes looked at the two of them curiously, obviously he had been listening to them talking just now.

Fang Youshun's heart skipped a beat. What he was going to do must not be known by others, so he couldn't help scaring Shen Yuxiu: "Xiaoxiu, what I said to your grandma tonight must not be told to anyone. If you tell someone, grandpa will be taken away."

Shen Yuxiu's eyes widened when she heard that, and she covered her mouth with her two small hands: "Don't tell, don't tell anyone, and don't tell your parents."

Although she didn't understand the conversation between the two old people just now, she could tell that grandpa didn't want to be hungry. She naturally knew that being hungry was not a good thing, and she didn't want to be hungry, and she didn't want grandpa to be arrested.

"Good boy, just remember it, go to sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow." Seeing her like this, Grandma Fang was afraid that she would be really scared, so she quickly coaxed her to sleep quickly.

Shen Yuxiu lay down obediently, but she complained in her heart about those who wanted to eat after not working.

Why don't they work?Why do you have to eat other people's food?Why let her go hungry too?

Fang Youshun wanted to store food, so he had to get along with Shen Jinggui. After all, he just came here this year, so he didn't know how to get here, but Shen Jinggui had lived here for decades, and it was almost tens of miles around. He knew everything about the nest, and where he could buy food, he naturally knew everything about it.

Of course, it is impossible to store food openly and aboveboard. The two of them still went to work during the day, and in the middle of the night, the two of them dug soil pits in Fang Youshun's idle warehouse. Put them into the pit, put all the purchased rice grains into the rice tank, seal the mouth with oil paper, sprinkle the lime left over from the house on the mouth of the rice tank, sprinkle soil on the lime and step on it firmly with your feet.

After everything was completed, anyone who came in to see the barn looked idle, and no one would have guessed that there was still food buried under the ground in this room.
