Chapter 3
I don't know if it's because of Shen Feiyang's rebirth. Although she didn't take any medicine, she woke up early the next morning and felt that her body had improved, at least she didn't have a fever.

She tried to get up, although she was a little weak, but the girl's body was good, so she got up slowly.

First of all, the thing she wants to do the most is to make a meal for herself. She is too hungry. The bowl of translucent porridge yesterday is not important at all. She woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, but she really has no strength, so she She forced herself to sleep again, and finally felt better now, but her stomach protested even more seriously, and she felt that she could eat a cow now.

Shen Feiyang pushed open the door limply, and sure enough, outside was the main room and the kitchen.In the middle is the stove, with a large iron pot with eight seals on it. There is a small bench in front of the stove, and the firewood is pushed against the wall beside it.

The main houses in the northern countryside are basically the same. Although Shen Feiyang was born in the [-]s in his previous life, he is also a rural child and has lived in the countryside since he was a child, so he is not unfamiliar with this kind of rural earthen stove.

He took the matches on the ground and stuffed them into the stove, and then found a piece of pine tree, touched a box of matches on the stove, and lit the fire in Zaoli.

Then he quickly took a ladle of water from the water tank next to him, poured it into the pot, brushed the pot a few times, and then scooped another ladle of water to cook porridge.

With her current body and her hungry stomach, the most suitable thing is to drink some porridge.

After all these were done, she opened the cellar door in the middle of the main room according to her memory.

It took Shen Feiyang a little effort to get the grain bag out of the cellar, she is still weak now.

In fact, this family is so poor that there is really no need to hide that bit of grain, but it may be a habit. Shen Yunfang just hid half a sack of cornmeal in the dark cellar.

She grabbed two handfuls of cornmeal and stirred them with the water in the ladle, just as the water in the iron pot was boiling, she put the cornmeal into the pot while stirring.

By the way, I went to the chicken coop to have a look, washed the two newly hatched eggs with water, and put them together in a large pot to cook.

She sat on the small bench, adding branches to the stove, and thinking about her own thoughts.

In fact, this family shouldn't be so poor, it's not about money, it's about food, Shen Feiyang looked at the 20 catties of corn noodles at his feet.

The rice and corn in the production team came down a month ago. Although she is the only one in her family, she still has 480 catties of grain every year.

This year, Shen Yunfang received 120 catties of rice, 480 catties of wheat, [-] catties of corn, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of millet, [-] catties of millet, [-] catties of rice beans, and [-] catties of mung beans, a total of [-] catties.

It sounds like 480 catties of food is quite a lot, but for people in the 70s, this food for a year is really not enough.Because these grains are all shelled, if the skins are removed, it will be good to have 360 ​​catties, which is equivalent to one catty of grain per day for one person.For a person who has no oil and water in his stomach all year round and has to work hard, a catty of food a day is really not enough for him.In addition, which family can be alone like Shen Yunfang, and which family does not have a few half-aged children. If these children work in the production team, it will be fine. If they have centimeters, they can make do with the food distribution. Three hundred catties of grain, if the children are too young to work, the village will distribute the grain according to their age groups. Of course, these grains have to be counted as centimeters for adults.It is said that half-children eat poor old men. When children grow up, they eat no less than adults. Therefore, if the family gathers food together, they can barely eat enough. If they are big-mouthed, they will be hungry at the end of the year.

According to normal calculations, although the production team's distribution of these grains is not very rich, as long as they don't eat cooked rice every day, they can still handle it.In addition, every family in Gaijiatun divides their private land according to their head, and they can focus on corn and so on. Therefore, although the villagers in Gaijiatun don’t have much income every year, as long as they work hard, they won’t be hungry.

Shen Yunfang is a little girl, no matter what it is, she is allocated more than 400 catties of grain a year, which is enough to eat, but now the Shen family only has more than 20 catties of corn noodles.

Where did the rest go?

Shen Feiyang sighed, the little girl seems to have a problem with her mind.

In her memory, she kept more than ten catties of the more than 100 catties of rice, and let her future elder brother carry the rest to her future mother-in-law's house. The reason is that the future mother-in-law wants to eat rice at home. She was crying on the top of the kang. As the second daughter-in-law, she had to do her best even though she hadn't passed the family yet, so if she had rice, she had to let the old man eat first.

Forgot to mention, even though Shen Yunfang is only 15 years old, she has already made an appointment.

This is another story.At the beginning, Shen Yunfang's father died on the battlefield to save his comrade-in-arms, and this comrade-in-arms was Shen Yunfang's future father-in-law.Needless to say now, it's just a show of repaying the father's favor, and Shen Yunfang's old mother did not hesitate because she was greedy for the 50 yuan dowry gift from others, and also wanted to find a good family for the only girl. agreed.

In her old man's mind, my husband died for your old man. If you have a little conscience, how can you treat your daughter badly in the future, and her life is relatively well-off. People who can take out 50 yuan as a dowry will have a good life. It's definitely not that bad. In the future, she, an old woman, and a girl will also have something to eat.

Judging from this matter, although Shen Yunfang's old lady also loves the girl, she can't hide her selfishness and snobbery in the bones of the Zhang family.

For so many years, Shen Yunfang has met her fiancé Li Hongjun three times, once on a blind date, and once on an engagement, all when she was four years old.In addition, her mother passed away a year ago, and Li Hongjun came back from the army to visit her. This should be the first time the two met.

Also from then on, Li Hongjun would mail her a letter every month, and there would always be a five-yuan RMB in the letter.

The money in Shen Feiyang's hand was saved by Shen Yunfang in this way.

So although Shen Yunfang, a silly girl, was not very happy in her heart, but because Li Hongjun sent her so much money, and because she was afraid of offending those in her in-laws, she had to give the more than 100 catties of rice she had just allocated to her elder brother, and let him Take it back to honor your future mother-in-law.

So Shen Yunfang, a silly girl, didn't like it very much, but she was afraid of offending those in her in-law's family, so she had to give the more than 100 catties of rice she just got to her elder brother, and asked him to take it back to honor her future mother-in-law.

Then the aunt sneaked into the house to cry poorly, took her hand and said how she helped her mother and daughter back then, implying that she should not be ungrateful.

I don't know what this silly girl was thinking, but in order to have a good reputation, she actually gave that aunt a hundred catties of corn.

So in the end, she only had dozens of catties of corn left.

Maybe Shen Yunfang, a silly girl, still had some hope to do this. Shen Feiyang recalled that no matter whether it was before or after the food distribution, the child rarely opened fire in his own house. My aunt's house, this one is messed up, and that one is messed up.

Of course, no one would give her a good look if she saw her like this, but in order to save food, she just pretended not to see it, and she would go to other people's dining table as soon as the meal came.

This is really not to bite people.

That's it, she still wants a good reputation, probably in Gaijiatun, her reputation is so bad.

Just thinking about it, Shen Feiyang felt ashamed for Shen Yunfang, and also worried about her IQ.What kind of godlike logic is this.

He gave away all the food he depended on for survival to outsiders for nothing, just to gain a good reputation, and then made troubles in front of his own home.Could it be that the people in Gaijiatun are all dead? Isn't the reputation here not a reputation?

Shen Feiyang rubbed his temples, he was really sad, he slapped his ass and left after getting into trouble, and her successor had to live here with the eyes of others.

In less than 10 minutes, the porridge was ready. She quickly removed all the firewood from the stove, and took the only two large bowls at home, one for the porridge and the other for the peeled eggs.

She rummaged on the stove again, but found no sugar, only a green wine bottle filled with some soy-colored liquid. She took it to her nose and sniffed it, making sure it was soy sauce.There is also a small half bag of large grains of salt that must be poured next to it.

There are pickles and miso at home, but they are all hidden in the cellar. Thinking of climbing up and down, Shen Feiyang gave up.She picked up the soy sauce bottle, poured some on the eggs carefully, and then used chopsticks to crush the eggs little by little, so that every egg fragment was covered with soy sauce.

Then she just took a bite of porridge, one bite of soy sauce egg, and after two and a half bowls of porridge, she ate up the two eggs.

Shen Feiyang touched his stomach, and felt that if there was another bowl, she could eat it.Hey, I'm still not full.

She got up from the small stool, and the sound of water could be heard in her stomach following her movements. Could it be that she was full of water?

Instead of complaining about himself, Shen Feiyang quickly cleaned the cauldron and two bowls, and then looked at the sky, not knowing what time it was in the morning.She still decided to feed the few chickens in her family first, and then go out to work.

 The author himself has not personally experienced that era, and many settings in the article are learned from his mother and mother-in-law. Because a Shandong native and a Northeastern native, the 70s described are different.

  The author consulted many people later, and it turned out that the 70s in everyone's mouth was similar but not exactly the same.There is no other way, the author has synthesized a lot of things, and it may not be in line with the 70s in everyone's mind, so dear friends, you can read this article as an overhead essay.
