It's a pity that he was greeted by Ye Lin's white eyes, Ye Lin didn't understand, how did Hu Lao pick it up, he was eating meat here, eating white flour steamed buns, maybe his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were gnawing at home.

Replace it with someone else, don't say eat it, it is estimated that he can't eat it, he is good, and he has the leisure to take it out, as if he is afraid that others will not know how good his life is, if he is not old, Ye Lin wants to go up and smoke him.

"Don't mess with me, believe it or not I'll whip you. ”

"You ......" Originally, Hu Laoli wanted to say something, but seeing Ye Lin's eyes, Hu Laoli swallowed what he was about to say.

Because he knew that Ye Lin was a second-class person, even if he really beat him, he would have no place to reason, even if he made trouble at the police station in the end, it would be the same, that is, if he was beaten, it would be in vain.

Seeing that Hu Lao stopped talking, Ye Lin shook his head, and then went into the backyard.

The conversation between Ye Lin and Hu Lao Pick just now, many people in the middle court heard and saw it, and when they saw Ye Lin enter, these people all laughed, of course, not laughing at Ye Lin, but laughing at Hu Lao Pick.

No one thought that this Hu Laojiao, who would die if he didn't take advantage of it, and was quite unreasonable, would finally be planted in Ye Lin's hands, not only planted, but also planted very thoroughly, and it is estimated that Hu Laojiao would be depressed for a long time.

"Son, what did you shout with Teacher Hu just now?" Ye Lin returned to the house, and Li Ran looked at him and asked.

"It's nothing, it's not Hu Laojiao, holding a bowl of land stew, holding a white-flour steamed bun and talking with me. ”

"Uh!" Hearing Ye Lin say this, Li Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Ran thought to himself, this Teacher Hu is also really, knowing that Ye Lin is not very cold to him, and still talking to Ye Lin in front of him, isn't it okay to find trouble.

"Life is good! I also ate potato stew. Ye Qi said with sarcasm.

As for the origin of the meat that Hu Lao picked up, there are few people in the entire compound who don't know, part of it was given by an uncle, and part of it was given by several sons, basically he got it by playing a scoundrel.

"Yes! Li Ting also said.

"Cut, isn't it just 'eight sides'! I thought it was such a good thing. Ye Lin said nonchalantly.

In this era, the noodles bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives were called "eight noodles", and the rice eaten was called "ninety-two rice".

Beginning in the 50s, in order to save grain, the state decided to change the processing standards, advocated the consumption of "92 meters" and "81 meters", and stipulated that all supply and marketing cooperatives were only allowed to sell "92 meters" and "81 meters."

The so-called "ninety-two rice" refers to 100 catties of brown rice milled into ninety-two catties of white rice.

The so-called "eighty-one side" refers to 100 catties of wheat milled into 81 catties of white flour.

This allows for the retention of more aleurone layers and germs, which is intended to reduce waste and increase food rations.

At that time, it was calculated that if everyone ate "92 rice" and "81 noodles", the whole country could save 800 million catties of grain a year, and at least 2 million more people could be fed, which was definitely a large amount at that time.

And "ninety-two meters" and "eighty-one noodles" have been used until now, and now all the rice noodles sold by supply and marketing cooperatives are still this, in fact, except for the steamed steamed buns that are a little darker, there is nothing.

This is normal because there is quite a lot of oatmeal in it.

Who can be like Ye Lin, a hundred catties of wheat can produce a maximum of seventy catties of white flour, although it is a bit of a waste, but there is nothing, because the wheat bran is not thrown away, but used as feed for chickens, ducks and pigs in the space.

Anyway, it's all fed, if the wheat bran is not enough, don't you still have to feed the wheat, so there is nothing wrong with having more wheat bran.

"Brother, why don't you serve a bowl of braised pork, take a white flour steamed bun, and preferably serve another bowl of chicken, and go to him to have a drink?" Ye Qi gave an idea.

Hearing Ye Qi say this, Ye Lin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm idle." ”

"What are you scared about?" Li Ran glared at Ye Qi and said, "You three remember for me, what you ate at home, you can't say it outside." ”

Li Ran was talking about Ye Qi, Zhai Ying and Li Ting, and did not bring Ye Lin with him, because Li Ran knew that Ye Lin would never talk about these things outside, at least not at the door of his house, and as for other places, it didn't matter how much he talked about it.

"Oh, got it, Mom. ”

"Auntie, I see. ”

"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't say it. ”

The three girls hurriedly assured Li Ran that the three of them were not sensible, but Li Ran understood that in this era when everyone couldn't eat enough, if anyone ate meat every day, and they ate it casually, it would not be a good thing, but would cause trouble.

"Well, you have to remember. ”

"Hmm. ”

The three girls started at a starting point, and Li Ran was relieved.

Li Ting has been staying at Ye Lin's house until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, especially in the last few days, she has stayed at Ye Lin's house at night, firstly because it is colder and it is more troublesome to go back, and secondly because she wants Zhai Ying to teach her to do her homework.

On the thirtieth day, Ye Lin got up early in the morning, but Li Ran got up earlier than him, Li Ran was cutting red paper in the hall, and when he saw Ye Lin getting up, he asked, "Son, why did you get up so early?"

"Mom, you're not the same. Ye Lin rubbed his eyes.

"Let's wash up and eat later. ”

"Oh, by the way, Mom, haven't you already bought the couplet or something? Why are you still cutting red paper?" Ye Lin thought that Li Ran was going to write a couplet.

Also, for the Chinese New Year, if you don't write couplets, what kind of red paper will you cut.

"You child, I am a red envelope, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, the children in the courtyard will come over in a while, I am not going to order red envelopes." ”

"Uh! yes, how did I forget that. Ye Lin patted his head.

"Alright, you don't have to worry about this, go wash up. ”

"Oh, good. ”

Ye Lin quickly finished washing, and at this time, just when Ye Qi and Zhai Ying got up, the two of them also asked the same question as Ye Lin, and of course the answers they got were the same.

After breakfast, Ye Lin's family sat in the hall and waited for the children in the courtyard to come to pay New Year's greetings, but the children did not wait, but waited for the second uncle.

"Is Mr. Li here?"

Hearing the second uncle shouting outside, Li Ran hurriedly went out of the house and said, "Second uncle, I'm here, what's the matter with you?"

"That's right, there is a meeting in the courtyard, and I hope your family can come and participate. ”

Li Ran is a teacher, and he is the director of the junior high school, so the people in the miscellaneous courtyard are very polite when they speak to Li Ran, even if it is the second uncle.

"Okay second uncle, I'll go now. ”

"Okay, then I'll inform someone. ”

"Good. ”

After the second uncle left, Li Ran thought about it and went back to the house, and said to Ye Lin and them: "Let's go, let's go to the meeting." ”

"Really, what kind of meeting is there in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve?" Ye Lin was a little impatient, but his mother spoke, and he couldn't help but go.

Ye Qi and Zhai Ying don't care, anyway, there is nothing to do at home, it is better to go and see what the meeting is, besides, how lively the meeting is, the whole hospital will go, it is hundreds of people.

There are no chairs for you in meetings, so the person who goes will either bring their own bench or chair, or bring nothing at all, and stand in the place, which is not a hard and fast rule, it all depends on the individual.

Ye Lin's family has a lot of chairs, and one is more than enough for each person, so the family of four moved one each.

The venue is in the front yard, because the front yard is the largest, otherwise it would not be possible to stay so many people, of course, in fact, one family can go to one, but there are very important things to hold meetings in the courtyard, so basically everyone will come.

Of course, there are some people who won't go, that is, children, but now it's the New Year, and maybe you can mix some peanuts and melon seeds to eat when you go to a meeting, so even children run over.

Ye Lin's family came relatively late, when they came, most of them had already arrived, the first, second and third masters were sitting on the main seat, and there was a table of eight immortals in front of them.

There is also a dustpan of peanuts and a dustpan of melon seeds on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Grandma Liu also came, Li Ran took Ye Lin and them to Grandma Liu's side, and sat down next to Grandma Liu.

"Grandma Liu. Li Ran hurriedly said hello to Grandma Liu.

"You're here too. ”

"Hmm. Li Ran nodded.

"I don't know what meetings are going on all day long. Grandma Liu complained.

And she said it louder, and the three masters heard it clearly, but they could only smile bitterly, although they wouldn't call Grandma Liu like others, but they also had to call the old lady.

"The eldest grandson comes, come and sit with grandma. Grandma Liu beckoned to Ye Lin.

"Hmm. Ye Lin nodded and sat in front of Grandma Liu, so that Grandma Liu could just hold him from behind.

Seeing that the people were almost here, the first uncle cleared his throat and said: "The people are almost here, then let's have a meeting, today's meeting is organized by the second uncle, then please ask the second uncle to say a few words." ”

After speaking, Uncle Yi stood up, holding a dustpan of peanuts, and walked over to the crowd.

When the third master saw the first uncle like this, he hurriedly took the remaining dustpan melon seeds and went down to send them, in fact, it was not considered to be a hair, that is, whoever went to him, who grabbed a handful, and the peanuts and melon seeds were the same.

During the Chinese New Year, you can buy peanuts and melon seeds without a ticket, but it is much more expensive than usual, so there are still not many people who buy it, even if you buy it, you also buy a little bit, so many peanuts and melon seeds today, it must be a few uncles out of their own pockets.

Of course, the one most likely to pay out of pocket is the second uncle, because the first uncle said just now that he organized this meeting today, and since it was organized by him, then of course he paid for it.

However, this is nothing for the second uncle, who has a good face and likes power, because in his opinion, face and power are much more important than money.

And it doesn't cost much to buy these things, at most three or five yuan, and it is definitely worth it in the second uncle to earn back face with three or five yuan.
