Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 208 The more it is not allowed, the more problems there will be

"Mom, is it the Luo Chengjia you went to report?"

"What, it was reported to Luo Chengjia this afternoon that it was mom who did it."

"I didn't go to report it. I went to Aunt Zhao's house in the afternoon to arrange marriage for my second son. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

"How much time does it take to report? Mom, when you went out, you said you were going to report someone, and the police came this afternoon. It's not you who reported it."

"Who are you talking to? No one is big or small. I said I didn't report it, so I didn't go. I was just talking in the afternoon for fun. Who knew it was such a coincidence that someone else reported the Luo Cheng family. What does it have to do with me? thing."

Seeing that her mother-in-law refused to admit it, Xu Cui'e's inner speculation was somewhat shaken. But this is too coincidental. At noon, I said I was going to report someone. In the afternoon, the police came to investigate Luo's marriage. Now that her mother-in-law has gone crazy, the topic is over. Walls have ears, and if the argument continues, Luo Cheng will not know who reported it, but he will expose himself, and what if it is a coincidence and it is not his mother-in-law who reported it.

At night, most of the people in the courtyard were talking about Luo Cheng's family. There was no fun these days, and they could talk about any topic for several days. Even though the police officer left, Luo Cheng's family was still in peace. But it doesn't mean that there is no discussion about this matter. At least those who watched the excitement today can see some of the roots of Luo Cheng's family.

We can’t even get enough of coarse grains, and there is a lot of fine grains, flour, etc. at home. No wonder someone raises a monkey. The monkey's fur is very smooth. It seems that the monkey is not very hungry at ordinary times.

What happened this afternoon was to see the conditions of the Luo Cheng family. In addition, even the police did not do anything to Luo Cheng. From now on, there is no need for anyone to say that he is eating well.

At Luo Cheng's house, Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian couldn't guess who was coming. It wasn't that there was no suspect, but there were several suspects. In addition, I haven't had any conflicts with anyone recently, so it's really hard to guess who it is when someone suddenly comes like this.

The people at the police station refused to tell him who reported it. Many people these days have their own principles. If money clears the way in the future, let alone tell you who reported the crime. If there is any benefit, they will take the initiative to arrest the person who reported the crime first.

When Wang De from the security department left, he said he was going back to his uncle to help Luo Cheng find out who made the report. But Wang De is unreliable. Unless he gets into trouble himself, his uncle will not use his power to help him.

But no matter what, he came over in the afternoon, and the two police officers gave him a little face, and didn't ask about some things in detail. So when Wang De left, Luo Cheng gave him a bird to prevent his trip from going in vain.

As the night progressed, Luo Cheng's family did not sleep uneasily because of what happened in the afternoon. It was over as it was.

At night, the city is a bit eerily quiet, but in many places the countryside is somewhat buzzing with insects. Sioux City can also be considered a southern city. The grain output in many places last year was not high, but it was not a bad harvest either.

But the actual situation now is that many local communes are out of grain. Once the grain is harvested, it is handed over to the commune first. Generally, it is handed over to the public grain in proportion to the harvest. However, due to various reasons, the commune grain stations cannot retain much grain at all.

"Boss, you take the second and third sons and leave tonight. Hurry up and go to Jiang Gan."

"Dad, isn't there food in this cafeteria every day? Why do we need to escape like this?"

"The commune's granary is out of grain. There was quite a lot of grain in the granary at the end of last year, but too much was taken away by the higher authorities. The most important thing is the conditions that are met below."

"Are there any new provisions?"

"There's nothing new, it's just the one issued last month. I've been thinking about it for many days. The more forbidden this is, the more problems it will cause."

Collective canteens are gradually being eliminated in many places, and the slower they are eliminated, the more they need to exist. In many places, it’s not that they don’t want to cancel, but that they simply cannot cancel. If we don’t give everyone food, and suddenly cancel it, everyone will eat whatever they want.

The commune here in Luocheng can cancel the canteen because it can still provide everyone with a certain amount of food to last them until the spring harvest.

When there was a problem in Sioux City, some people first discovered that there was not enough food. In addition, members of the commune, who are actually farmers, began to officially implement the practice. If they want to travel far away, they must have a certificate issued by the commune. Without a certificate, I can't take the train or stay in a hostel or hotel in the city. Not even staying with relatives.

To put it simply, farmers are not allowed to leave the countryside without permission, and farmers who blindly move into cities are called blind migration.

In this place in Sioux City, the production was only slightly reduced last year, so it is not that now the cafeteria can only drink water. This year, there is also a drought here, which is worse than in many places. At most, we have to carry water for irrigation, and a reduction in production is unavoidable.

Last year's harvest was at best a little less, so we could only drink water. There will definitely be a real reduction in production this year, and there are some far-sighted people in this world. If all the food is taken away like last year, I am afraid that there will be no food left to drink this year. What are you doing here if you don't leave?

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the chirping of insects, which was still bright before, seems to have become the sound of crying in some people's ears. Let's go, leave early, some places can still take you.

"Are the radishes also unsaleable?"

In the early morning, Luo Cheng woke up in the future era again and checked the time on his phone. It was almost eight o'clock. But he has nothing to do today. Regarding decoration, he may just contact Zhou Meng later to see if the plan she mentioned yesterday has been worked out. Then contact the person to discuss the decoration price, and then proceed directly to the construction.

As before, Liu Xiaofei slept with half of her body on top of him. Usually when Luo Cheng gets up, he has to pull her down. But today he wanted to lie on the bed and watch videos on his phone, so he didn't pull her down, but just covered her up like a quilt.

Girl-like skin is smooth and moist. Especially the two palm-sized pieces of flesh on the chest are very comfortable to press on the body. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have a girlfriend, who must be light in weight. If you are a fat man, try using it as a quilt cover.

Luo Cheng was holding his girlfriend and playing with his mobile phone. He had originally planned to go out to collect tomatoes tomorrow. But I didn't expect that this morning when I was browsing on my phone, I saw a place where radishes couldn't be sold, so they were shoveling them into the ground with a cart and using them as fertilizer. The radish is the kind with green skin. In Luo Cheng's opinion, it must be a new and improved variety, or he has never been to other places in his time, and the only varieties of radish he has seen are white radish and carrot. Although this green-skinned one is also tinged with white, it has grown very big and is still mostly green.

However, looking at the taste reviews, many people say that spicy radish made from pickled radish is delicious. The chewy bits have more texture than regular radishes, so it would be a shame to waste them in the fields like this.

I checked the price online, and not to mention, the green-skinned radish is more expensive than the white radish sold here. White radish only costs a few cents, and that kind sells for more than a dollar here.

Maybe it's because Luo Cheng often looks at unsaleable products and has been locked by big data, so videos of this kind are often pushed to him. It’s okay to forget that this carrot is unsalable, after all, it often happens in a small area. The emergence of unsalable products is also closely related to following the trend and blind planting.

The radishes there are unsaleable. More than 500 acres of radishes were planted at once, which is too much. Luo Cheng didn't want to bother with this radish. If it was a white radish, he might contact him. It was different from the radish varieties of his era. It was difficult to 'purchase' it even in his own era.

Besides radishes, what really worries him is the low price of food. The price of corn in many places is no longer high. It used to be said that the price of corn was not as good as mineral water, but now it is not even comparable to the price of coal.

Many people simply burn the corn cobs as coal, which costs 80 cents per pound. People would rather burn it than sell it, but that's just an angry comment. Corn can be stored for a long time, unlike vegetables. If it cannot be sold at a high price, it will rot in the ground.

So Luo Cheng just calmed down when his brain got a little hot. His assets can't save those farmers who grow corn. There are too many, and people won’t sell them because they are too cheap, which doesn’t mean they can’t be sold.

Cheap grain hurt farmers. Luo Cheng felt that his era actually had some advantages, that is, in the era of planned economy, prices were really stable. Not to mention the black market, at least those with urban household registration have rations. If they go to buy grain with a grain book or have grain stamps, the price of grain has not increased by a penny.

Except for corn and some vegetables, this may be only a few months after the beginning of spring. There are not a lot of unsalable items, and one thing is that if you can post them online, they must have been fermenting for a long time.

In a month or two, many vegetables will be on the market. At that time, if transportation is not convenient in some places and the varieties grown are too repetitive, there will be many unsaleable vegetables.

In fact, in addition to vegetables, there are also fruits. As for fruits, Luo Cheng also does it, but he just makes money from the price difference. Fruit was very precious in his time, and ordinary people might not eat apples even once throughout the year.

Of these fruits, Luo Cheng would only bring some cantaloupes and sweet potatoes back, and the rest would be at most a little secretly for his family to eat.

After reading the news about the unsalable vegetables for a while, Luo Cheng was watching a short drama. He planned to get up at ten o'clock. One hand is holding the mobile phone to watch videos, and the other hand is grabbing my girlfriend's butt to play with, which is quite comfortable.

But it didn't take long for Liu Xiaofei to be pinched awake, and then she lay in Luo Cheng's arms and watched the show together, even though she had a mobile phone. The most important thing is that she doesn't like the drama that Luo Cheng likes to watch very much. If she doesn't like it, she just ignores it and keeps complaining about it.

This is just like the plot of tearing up Japanese soldiers with their own hands. What Luo Cheng saw was that Japanese soldiers were torn apart and died in various exaggerated ways. This is a feeling of revenge. As long as you die, it is a good death. But people in this era make all kinds of complaints, saying that it is illogical and exaggerated. Therefore, older people like to watch some magical dramas, and most of the people who watch TV now are older, and young people do not watch TV at home.

Some concepts of the times can be changed, but some are engraved in our bones. For example, can Luo Cheng change some of his ideas about women? Liu Xiaofei had slept with others before she was with him. Even though it was Luo Cheng before, he would never accept this. In his time, it actually didn't matter whether he had a marriage certificate or not, but if he slept with someone else, he would be married for the second time.

But now Luo Cheng can accept this, but there are still many concepts that cannot be changed. For example, it is very normal for men and women to cheat in this era, but Luo Cheng absolutely cannot accept this. How can his woman be played by others.

Macho chauvinism is like this. Women can be independent in some aspects in front of Luo Cheng, but if a woman tells him that she can play however she wants, he has nothing to do with it. In Luo Cheng's eyes, this scheme is not feasible. His woman is his. Luo Cheng could accept a peaceful breakup with Liu Xiaofei, but if he cheated on her, he wouldn't mind the last news.

The concept of male chauvinism is very scary, and women really shouldn’t be with such men. Other men can tolerate the mistakes you said every woman will make, but in the eyes of macho men, you will see terror and fear.

And if a well-behaved woman is with a chauvinistic man, she will live a very stable life. A person like Luo Cheng will definitely put himself in front of his woman in everything. If life at home is not going well, he will never say anything bad about the woman, but will always blame himself for his inability.

When watching the drama, there are some disagreements over some concepts, but Luo Cheng usually doesn't argue with Liu Xiaofei. If Liu Xiaofei didn't complain about various things, the two of them wouldn't be able to watch the show together.

"Luo Cheng, you are going to practice driving again today. Are there any good-looking female students in the driving school? If you are going to practice driving, you'd better not wear this suit."

"There are some good-looking people who don't look as good as you. I have to practice driving today. The exam is coming soon. The more you practice, the safer you will be."

Luo Cheng smiled and said to Liu Xiaofei that in his eyes Zhou Meng was indeed good-looking. But she is older than him. Maybe being older in this era does not matter to many men, because if a woman takes good care of herself, her appearance will appear smaller. But Luo Cheng can't do it. Regarding his age, Luo Cheng is also bound by traditional ideas.

In his day, a man would be laughed at if he married an older woman. That bullshit female junior holding a gold brick is pure bullshit.

Therefore, Luo Cheng not only admires Zhou Meng's appearance, but also loses a lot of points in terms of age.

Since Liu Xiaofei said not to dress so nice when going to practice driving, Luo Cheng obeyed her. Wearing a formal suit when practicing driving is a bit inappropriate. Wear a casual one, and the matching shirts and suits are also low-necked. Such clothes cannot be controlled by those with a body type and lack of muscles.

It looks good if you wear it, but wearing this kind of clothes to practice driving actually makes you look a bit coquettish. When you get your driver's license, drive your own car, and match your car with your clothes, you won't be a slut, but you will be classy.

This is the same as wearing a formal suit and going to a construction site to move bricks. If you wear a casual suit and go to drive a practice car, people will only say that you are handsome and well-dressed, so what if you are not waiting in line to practice driving like the rest of us.
