reborn at sixty

Chapter 10 11. Waste utilization
The old man slapped his thigh, "Yeah, why am I so stupid, why didn't I think that I could still do this, but there are not many stick noodles here, and besides, they are all from the team, will anyone use this as an issue?" .”

Shui Lian sighed in her heart, "Grandpa, is it good for us to use waste, who will say, if we don't say it, no one will say it.

Let's do this quietly, and throw it away, what a waste. Didn't Grandpa Mao always say that waste is shameful? "

The old man couldn't help being happy when he heard her words, "You little girl, you still know this sentence, okay, then we will do as you say."

Fortunately, there was a sieve in that small room, so the water lotus squatted on the ground and sifted through the sieve bit by bit. From the remaining forage, there were more than three handfuls of corn flour from the adults.

In Shui Lian's eyes, this is already a lot, at least enough for their grandparents and grandson to eat porridge for one meal, and this is still one meal. If all three meals are sifted, it is estimated that the food for the day will also come out for the two of them. .

"Hehe, grandpa, look, there are so many, I will come and sift with you every day from now on."

Seeing his granddaughter gesticulating at him with a smile, Liang Shouwang remembered something.

"Girl, you can't come here every day. There are shifts in the evening. If you want to come, you will come at noon and afternoon tomorrow. I said how can the food in Lao Litou's house last until the end of the month? There is still something tricky about feelings..."

Hearing the old man talking to himself, Shui Lian thought to herself, maybe they just subsidized their own family with the grain for feeding the animals, and maybe they wouldn't doubt it based on their grandfather's thoughts.

However, she still worriedly reminded, "Grandpa, it's enough for the two of us to know about this matter. Otherwise, if people find out, it's time to visit the streets, and it's time to say that we are poaching the corners of socialism."

The old man was amused by Shui Lian's stern look, "Your family still knows how to poach the corners of socialism. I really don't know what the old couple of Wu taught you."

Shui Lian pretended to sigh and said, "Grandpa, Wang Mei and the others are too lazy to memorize the quotations, why don't you just let me do it, but your granddaughter and I have a good brain, and I haven't forgotten it..."

The old man smiled and sighed, "You child..."

Liang Shouwang sighed when he saw the worn-out shoes on his granddaughter's feet.

"Girl, hurry up and wait for the dividends. Grandpa will buy you a new pair of shoes. Look, the toes are leaking out. How can you survive this winter."

Shui Lian lowered her head and glanced at the shoes on her feet. I am afraid that such shoes are rarely seen in later generations, but the situation is different now. She only has this pair of shoes like this, so she can keep her warm when she walks. It's not a little bit.

She still picked up these shoes at Wu's house to wear leftovers from relatives and children.

Shaking his head, "Grandpa, when I go back, I'll just find a quick cloth to sew. Our family has no money now, and you owe money to the Wu family. You can't do it even if you look at your own shoes. Wait a minute." Later, I will find grandma to learn how to make shoes, otherwise I won’t be able to go out this winter.”

Liang Shouwang, an old man in his fifties, couldn't help being moved by the child's sensibility.

Touching Shui Lian's head, "Silly girl, this can save shoes, but it can't be saved, or it will be frozen in winter, so what can I do? Don't worry, we still have some money left for the team's dividends."

After feeding the livestock, Shui Lian put the corn noodles into her pocket. She didn't even let go of the dregs. She brought this stuff home to feed the chickens. At least the chickens could lay eggs if they had something to eat. It would be too wasteful to retting.

The old man was not allowed to take it because she was a child, and no one would embarrass a child if anything happened.

Shui Lian went to the production team's compound for nothing to walk around, and to tell the truth, she had been here for so many years, and she really didn't come over to see it, mainly because she had been helping with housework and taking care of the children at home.

Not to mention, the place here is really big. There is a large row of houses in the yard, and the two rows to the east are all straw stacks, which should be used for feeding livestock. In the northeast corner, there is a tall building like a gun tower Building, this should be a place to store food.

Next to the wall is a row of large sheds, where a large flock of sheep and pigs are raised. Below the pigsty is a very large cesspit. When the fields are planted next year, the base fertilizer will come out from here.

There is a row of houses in the center of the yard near the east side. This is a mill. Water Lily can see a group of men and women picking seeds in the house.

In the center of the sloping land behind is a large concrete yard for playing games, and there are three small houses for playing games on the side of the yard, surrounded by a field.

Before she finished reading it, her feet were numb from the cold, and she ran back quickly.

Liang Shouwang couldn't help being happy when he saw the little girl rushing into the room where the stove was lit.

"How about it, be cold, grandpa will take you back later."

The grandfather and grandson were talking, when Geng Lianfeng ran in while going to the bathroom.

"Ah, the water lotus is here too. It just so happens that I was thinking about asking your grandfather to bring it to you. Come on, eat it quickly. These are the peanuts that my aunt stole. You two also come over to taste."

Peanuts are the leftovers from seed selection, shriveled small grains with little meat, but even this stuff is quite rare and delicious in their place.

Shui Lian took it with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie, you can eat too, Grandpa."

She stuffed a few into the old man's mouth, and she tasted two herself, "Auntie, why don't I bring these to Brother Minghao and the others to eat."

Geng Lianfeng touched her little face with a smile on her face, "Girl, you can eat here first, and then Auntie will come over a couple of times later, and you can bring some back for them to eat. I'm afraid someone will check before we leave. , it just so happens that it’s more convenient for you to be here.”

Shui Lian nodded, "Well, I'll wait here, Auntie, don't worry, we have plenty of time."

Liang Shouwang scratched his head a little. He felt a little bad about this, but he couldn't stop it.

Because it wasn't just Geng Lianfeng who did this, I guess everyone did it, but it was all done in a sneaky way. Fortunately, it wasn't for stealing, it was just to add snacks to the children at home.

"Girl, you can't put it in your pocket anymore, why don't you go home and put the cornmeal back first, and grandpa will watch over here.

You'll be here later, okay? If you have too much drum in your pocket, it won't look like that to others. "

Shui Lian thought about it too, agreed, and ran home quickly. These things are enough to keep alive, and safety is the most important thing.

When she came back, Geng Lianfeng had already been here, and this time she took more, and the old man put it in his pocket, and he was afraid that someone would come and see it.
