Chapter 13 Preliminary understanding of the current situation
When everyone arrived at the cafeteria, they each took their own dishes and chopsticks to eat, and the dishes and chopsticks were fixed, and they washed and put them away after eating. Children who are unable to take care of themselves are cared for by kitchen helpers. From the day you can wash your own dishes, you will be treated as an independent person in the orphanage.
Today's aunt on duty sat on a fixed chair, watching everyone receive their own meals, although the room was crowded, but the atmosphere was very dull, a large group of boys and girls rarely heard the sound of laughter, everyone buried their heads in eating, the speed was extremely fast, only the sound of the collision between the bowls and spoons in the room, and the low sound of chewing.
Breakfast is simpler than Huang Liangliang's lunch last night, the staple food is still millet porridge and hard multigrain steamed buns, a large bowl of pickles is placed on the table to eat casually, but there is a big bowl of egg soup on each big table, although the frangipani in it is almost invisible, obviously a whole tube of soup is put with an egg, but this is already a rare nutrition for the children in the welfare home.
She already knew from Huang Yanru's mouth that in this era, the three years of natural disasters have just passed, the price of rice has skyrocketed in the past few years, all food is quite expensive, and all of them need to be purchased in limited quantities with tickets, and they are already thankful that these orphans can eat enough, but I don't know how many people starved to death in the past few years.
The welfare institute has opened up a large vegetable field by itself, and the aunts are responsible for taking care of the older children on weekdays, but the vegetables produced there are sold to some government agencies to subsidize the daily expenses of the welfare home.
The eggs also come from the welfare institute's own chicken farm, because the welfare institute is affiliated with the state, so the government supports the welfare institute to be self-sufficient, and most of the chickens and eggs raised are also exchanged for money and food subsidies.
No matter what kind of life Zhong Ming lived in his previous life, he has become an orphan in this life, and he always has to face the reality, Huang Liangliang has no intention of being picky, she is like others, eating breakfast quickly and silently. It's just that I only ate half of the multigrain steamed buns, and put the remaining half in my pocket, thinking that if I was hungry during the day, I could still top it.
Within half an hour, everyone had finished breakfast and lined up to wash the dishes. Because it was summer vacation, after breakfast, the older children had to go to handicraft classes and carpentry classes, and Huang Liangliang was allowed by Wang Ling to take a day off, so she followed a few younger children to the recreation room.
The small library and recreation room in the orphanage are open most of the day, and orphans gather here to listen to the semiconductor radio when they have free time.
The semiconductor radio was something that Huang Liangliang had never seen before, and when she first saw it, she was very surprised that in a small iron box, it could make human voices.
It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the radio was playing a song that had recently become popular, and a gentle female voice was slowly singing, "Sing a song to the party, I compare the party to my mother; my mother only gave birth to me, and the party's brilliance shines on my ......heart."
The tune is very melodious and good, but Huang Liangliang pays more attention to the lyrics, she can probably guess that the "party" in the lyrics is the court here, it seems that no matter where she goes, the court governs the country, but unfortunately she has no more channels to understand this era, if only she could go to school and be literate, then she can learn more about the world through books. But now, I'm afraid she can only rely on this radio first.
When it was ten o'clock, the radio began to broadcast the news, Huang Liangliang listened carefully, although she could not understand most of the content, but she still listened very carefully, the radio repeatedly mentioned Chairman Huang, it seems that he is preparing to launch a big revolution, this revolution is mainly manifested in the cultural aspect, there are also new words like "capitalism" and "proletariat" that Huang Liangliang does not understand.
After the news broadcast, Huang Liangliang became more and more confused, she probably knew that Chairman Huang should be the emperor of this country, he was preparing to launch a big change, although this is not important to Huang Liangliang who is now an orphan, but change has always affected the development and future of the country, I don't know what kind of changes this change will bring to the country, Huang Liangliang only hopes that it is good, after all, she should stay here for a long time, naturally hoping to live in a peaceful and peaceful era.
Listening to the song on the radio again, Huang Liangliang got up and prepared to leave, as soon as he got up from the small stool, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the other side, still with that annoying ice cube face, and I don't know when he came over.
Huang Sang frowned, as if he was thinking about something, but his senses were still very keen, and he soon felt that someone was watching him, so he looked up in the direction where his eyes came, and saw Huang Liangliang with a bulging face, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch involuntarily.
Huang Liangliang originally wanted to ignore Huang Sang, but he always felt that this person was haunted, and he could be seen everywhere, and he always pretended not to know himself, which was very annoying! Huang Liangliang glared at Huang Sang uncontrollably for a while, then raised his head and turned away, like a proud little peacock, thinking in his heart: Hmph, it's best to pretend not to know, she still wished she had never known this unlucky guy!
Huang Liangliang went back to the dormitory, first went to look at the mattress and towel blanket that were drying there in the morning, and when he touched it, it was already seven or eight percent dry, so he collected them and carried them back to the dormitory.
The other people in the dormitory hadn't come back yet, so Huang Liangliang made the bed first, and tidied up his one-third of an acre, seeing that everything was in order, and there was nothing else, so he was ready to rest for a while, waiting for the others in the dormitory to come back, and go to lunch together.
Soon, the other three people in the dormitory came back, and Huang Huifang saw Huang Liangliang in the room, and didn't pay attention to it, and snorted heavily, looking down on her. Huang Liangliang naturally wouldn't bother with her.
After Huang Yanru's contact with Huang Liangliang in the morning, the relationship with her has become much closer, and she took the initiative to greet her, and Huang Yuanyuan also smiled at her kindly, showing kindness.
Huang Liangliang is a polite person, greeted Huang Yanru and Huang Yuanyuan one by one, waited for them to deal with the matter at hand, and went to the canteen with them.
