Chapter 51
With a creak, the door was opened from the inside, and Zuo Daya saw that the door was really her little girl who had gone out to study art, with the wrinkles on her face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"Si'er, you're back!" She couldn't hide her joy in her tone. "Come into the house, you're tired." The old lady reached out and took the burden off her back.

"Well, mother, they followed me for sugar..." Yuan Si was afraid that these children would follow her into the yard, so she hurriedly asked the old lady for help.

"What kind of candy? Where did you get the candy? Don't make trouble here, go and go." The old lady drove away the children who were waiting for the candy like a chicken.

After closing the courtyard door, Zuo Daya took her daughter into the house, "Don't worry about those poor children, no one's food is blown by the strong wind, but their shallow-sighted parents actually urged them to come out to beg Eat." The old lady said poisonously.

Yuansi nodded, she also didn't like giving food to others for no reason.

"You came back by yourself, did your master send you?" When she got to the house, she put the bundle on the table, and the old lady thought about it.

"My master sent me to the entrance of the village, and then he left." Yuan Si lied because she was afraid that the old lady would be worried.

"Hey, that's good." Sure enough, the old lady nodded after hearing this, "Then why don't you let your master come to sit at home, fortunately, they are all at the door, and a glass of boiling water is fine."

"Mother, have you forgotten that my master is a fairy, and he doesn't eat fireworks." Yuan Si was speechless.

"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory. By the way, have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, I will cook for you." The old lady finally cared about her daughter.

"Mom, I just heard from those children that the cafeteria in the team has been disbanded, what's going on?" said Fan Yuan, thinking about what a child said just now that the cafeteria was disbanded.

"What's going on, I can't afford food and drink for so many people without food." The old lady briefly explained the situation.

After the wheat was harvested, most of the wheat was handed over to the country, and the remaining ones were not enough for the entire brigade to last until the autumn harvest. Therefore, in order to keep eating, the canteen could only cook the porridge more and more thinly.

At first everyone knew the situation and could understand it, but then everyone ate a bowl of clear soup and got hungry and lost their patience, so they started arguing.

Ordinary commune members feel that some people eat too much and occupy too much, otherwise it is impossible to order such food every day.Of course, they are referring to the team cadres and the workers in the cafeteria.The people in the cafeteria felt wronged, it was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, the captain gave such a little food for every meal, and they couldn't help it.Although they can take a little advantage and scoop some thicker food for themselves in advance, but that is only relatively speaking, their stomachs are not much fuller than theirs.

The captain scratched his head even more, he kept arguing about this stuttering every day, the land was not planted well, and he hoped that the autumn harvest would produce more grain so that everyone could have enough to eat.

The captain saw that this was not going to work, so he hurried to the commune to report the situation.The commune is even more bachelor. Anyway, I have no food. It is your own business to fight or kill. You told me and I listened, but there is definitely no food. If you really can’t eat in a bowl, Then eat separately.That way you don't have to bite each other.

So in August, the four teams of Lijia Village disbanded the big canteen at the same time, divided the remaining food by centimeters, and went home to cook for themselves.

"Can you tell me what they are doing is a personnel matter. They talked about it at the time. They said that they will work and eat together in the future. Everything will be controlled by the state. They don't have to cook by themselves. They took away my pot. As a result Changing your mind as soon as you kick a child, saying that is not as good as a child's play." The old lady got angry when she said this.

"When there was still food to be distributed, the two of us only got less than fifty catties of wheat grains. This is all as if we are mice, and this thing can survive."

"Also, the pot was taken away by me back then, and now I'm asked to go home to eat by myself. Our family doesn't even have a decent pot. Do you think this is how people live?" The old lady thought of the iron pot in the county. The price hurts for a while.The problem is that if you want to buy a pot, it's not just about the price, it also needs industrial rolls. Where can she, an old farmer, get some industrial rolls?

Yuan Si frowned when she heard that there were only fifty catties of wheat grains, "You ate fifty catties of wheat grains alone in two months?"

"Huh, fifty catties didn't arrive. Your eldest sister came to borrow grain at the end of August. I was angry when I saw your eldest sister's head slumped, so I brought her ten catties of wheat grains." Speaking of this matter The old lady looked gloomy.

The boss just followed the old man's unstoppable energy, and gave birth to four sons for his husband's family but failed to stand up. The old lady really hated iron for being weak.But no matter what, it's all the flesh that fell from his body, hate it, and he can't just watch her come and go back empty-handed.Knowing that her wicked mother-in-law ordered the boss to come back this time, she also pinched her nose and took ten catties for him.

Yuansi did the math, and when 34 catties of wheat were ground into flour, there were only [-] catties left. She was not at home, which meant that the old lady could eat half a catty of flour a day.This should be pretty good compared to the big cafeteria before.

The old lady said the same thing, "Our family is considered to be in a good condition. Those families with many children dare not ask for white flour. They have replaced them with corn kernels. Anyway, everyone in the family can eat together." Fine grains and coarse grains The exchange ratio is one to five, and one catty of wheat grains can be exchanged for five catties of corn grains.

"At first I thought about tightening my belt and sticking to it for two months, and it would be fine after the autumn harvest, but it turned out that after the corn was harvested, the commune took people away and took it away. I didn't know where it was for support. , anyway, I know that everyone has worked so hard for more than half a year to grow food and can’t eat enough. In the end, let’s save some for us, or we will starve to death.” The old lady said that what happened when the autumn grain was divided should not be angry. no.

"Ah? They said they would take them away, so no one stopped them?" Yuansi raised her eyes when she heard this, and robbing the village of autumn grain was equivalent to robbing her of her rations.

The old lady couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw her daughter's such a bear, "You can put it down, people come with guns when they come, who dares to stop them. Hey, they have bigger mouths than us, what are you talking about?" What are you talking about?" Although the old lady has a strong mouth, a ignorant old lady is still afraid of the people in the government.

"Mother, how much food did our family get for the autumn harvest?" Yuansi asked with a frown.

"Hmph, you haven't been home for half a year, and you don't have centimeters. As an old woman, I only have eight centimeters a day, so I was given 120 catties of corn cobs, and the rubbing was not enough for a hundred catties." In previous years, the food was distributed directly. Corn kernels, as a result, the corn cobs distributed this year have more moisture in them, which means that ordinary people can get less food in their hands.

Seeing the little girl frowning like a little old man, the old lady knew that the girl was worried about not having enough food, so she comforted her: "You don't have to worry about these things as a child, mother digs a lot of wild vegetables in summer, and also mashers." I bought a lot of poplar leaves, save some to eat, and it will be enough for our mothers to deal with until next year."

Yuansi's face turned green, thinking of the smell of boiled poplar leaves in the paste, it was enough.
