Finally, eggs are also a good thing. Now there is no food to eat, let alone eggs. The price of eggs on the black market is as low as ten cents each.

That's it, it's not easy to buy.

For example, the second uncle Liu Haizhong used to like to eat scrambled eggs when he had nothing to do.

This year he also stopped eating. Although his salary allows him to eat eggs, he cannot buy them.

Two hundred eggs are enough to last for a while.

If you have nothing to do, scramble an egg or something, it will definitely make those beasts in the courtyard cry.

Early the next morning, Widow Guo began to prepare breakfast.

Xu Damao got up with a smile, then took three large white steamed buns from his bag, and then took three kilograms of national food stamps and stuffed them into the opponent's hand.

After all, he mined with me for so long last night and helped him obtain so many resources. He should be given some reward based on emotion and reason.

Then he said with a smile:"I won't eat at your house anymore.""

"I'll go for a walk and you can eat."

Looking at Xu Damao's leaving figure, Widow Guo smiled:"This projectionist is so generous this time."

"This is several times more than previous returns."

Carrying a green canvas backpack, he arrived at the door of Qin Jingru's house. Seeing that there was no one around, he stuffed two packs of compressed biscuits, a roast duck and six white flour buns in the bag.

Then he opened the door and entered Qin Jingru's house.

Generally. The doors of rural courtyards are rarely locked. Especially these days, every household is very poor, and there is no need to worry about someone stealing anything. After entering the door, I saw Guo Huaigui preparing a meal.

On the table was the food he gave me yesterday. There was half a nest of steamed buns and three corn pancakes.

Seeing Xu Damao coming, the other party jumped down from the kang enthusiastically:"Comrade Xu, you are here."

Xu Damao said:"You're welcome, I'll come to your house for breakfast."

As he spoke, he took out six white flour steamed buns from the bag and said with a smile:"I have a weak stomach, and I can't get used to these thick corn tortillas, so I brought some steamed buns with me. Don't mind."

Then he took out the roast duck.

Qin Huaigui's family drooled when they saw this, thinking to themselves:"What are the conditions of this projectionist? We ate white flour steamed buns and roast duck.

Xu Damao said with a smile:"I have been stuttering all my life. I can't eat without meat at every meal.""

"So, sister-in-law, please go chop this roast duck up, chop it up, and let’s eat it together."

It's a novel experience to call your future mother-in-law sister-in-law.

This made Xu Damao a little excited.

After saying that, he tore off the two hind legs of the roast duck and put one into Qin Jingru's bowl and the other into Qin Xiangru's bowl..

He handed the remaining roast duck to Zhang Shiyu, who quickly took it to the kitchen and cut it into pieces and brought them back.

Then Xu Damao said with a smile:"We won't eat steamed buns and corn pancakes in the morning, right?""

"Let's eat some white flour steamed buns together, otherwise I won't be able to eat them alone."

Hearing this, the family happily ate there. This white flour is not something that can be eaten all the time.

Even when the year is good, you can't eat several kilograms of white flour in a month.

Now the year is bad. Everyone replaced white flour with whole grains, so that they could have more food at home and be able to last longer.

They had not known what white flour tasted like for half a year.

Soon, there were only a pile of duck bones left on the table. It was clean and there was absolutely no shreds of meat.

After the meal, Qin Huaigui smoked for a long time and then said:"Comrade Xu, I think you like our Jingru very much.""

"Otherwise, I will promise this girl to you!"

"In this current situation, children are suffering from following us. It's better to be a child bride for you, as long as you can take care of her food."

Qin Jingru next to her could not help but prick up her ears when she heard this, with a look of excitement on her face.

Then she waited expectantly for Xu Damao's answer.

This matter was not Qin Huaigui's impromptu idea. He and his wife last night It was agreed.

From what happened yesterday, it can be seen that the family conditions of the projectionist Xu Damao and Xu who came to the village to show movies should be good. In the year 1960, it was the most serious period of starvation in the country. Some people really starved to death..

Their family has three children, and the burden is quite heavy.

These children are hungry, and they feel distressed. If one of them really starved to death, it would be even more sad.

So even though Qin Jingru was still young, she was given away. There was a bit of reluctance inside.

But at least I could eat enough with Xu Damao.

And by sending her out, the family saved a ration, and the remaining two children had a greater chance of survival.

Besides, Seeing that the projectionist Xu's family is in such good condition, it would be better if he could help his family in the future.

Moreover, the other person is from the city and is not far away. If he wants to have children in the future, he can go and see him.

So he came up with the idea He thought this, and his mother-in-law agreed, so he took this opportunity to bring it up.

When Xu Damao heard this, he just took a sip of water and squirted it out, then quickly waved his hands and said,"No, no!""

"You are joking, child brides are not popular in this day and age. It would be a mistake to say this out loud."

After hearing Xu Damao's answer, Qin Jingru's face collapsed.

Xu Damao quickly said:"I really like Jingru, she is very cute and rare."

"But she is still young now, so let’s not talk about it for now."

"I will visit her often in the future"

"I know that the family has been short of food and clothing in the past two years, and I can see that she is starving, and I feel very sorry for her."

"But it’s not appropriate to be my child bride now, so let her call me brother first and treat me like a sister."

"However, when I get it working, I can take her into the city and keep her by my side if I have the chance. I'll still have no problem with her eating."

"I dare not say anything else. I still have the ability to let her eat white noodles every time and meat every now and then."

At first, they sighed inwardly after hearing Xu Damao's words, thinking that the other party looked down on Qin Jingru, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events, and the other party did not stop talking. They also said that if there was a chance, they would bring Jingru into the city.

They understood it as soon as they thought about it. , Projectionists are educated people and rigorous in their work.

These days we are cracking down on bad feudal habits, and bad habits like child brides will be severely cracked down on.

They said they would give Qin Jingru to others as child brides, but of course they would not dare to accept it.

Still others Very thoughtful.
