Chapter 6 No Excuses
Compared with Qiao's father, this middle-aged man has a ruddy face and a sturdy figure, and at a glance, he knows that he is not short of food.
And this person is none other than Qiao Gaoliang, the captain of the Alpine Brigade, who has a lot of power in his hands.
"Are you going to the county seat? Don't you know that it hasn't rained much recently, and the fields are busy, how can you walk away?"
Qiao Gaoliang smiled, "That's it, what do you want, tell me, I'll go to the commune for a meeting and see if I can help you bring it back." ”
He is not stupid, let Qiao Zhengyu out in this situation, there are few knowledgeable people in the village, everyone knows what the bottom is, only this Qiao Zhengyu is different.
The village quietly disbanded the big canteen, and at this time, people must not be let out, who knows what trouble will be caused to themselves.
Qiao's father lowered his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two children, "No, the clay pot at home is about to break, so I want to go to the county seat to see if I can buy an iron pot." ”
"Iron pot?" Qiao Gaoliang's voice was slightly raised, a little mocking, "Do you have an industrial ticket?"
What kind of work did this Qiao Zhengyu do outside in those years, and he could talk about buying an iron pot so easily.
He saw Qiao Zhengyu shaking his head and squinting his eyes, is it really not or is he lying?" "In order to support national construction, resources are tight, and the supply of iron pots is very small, so you can make do with the clay pots." ”
As he spoke, Qiao Gaoliang looked at the two children who came with his hands behind his back, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Don't delay the work of going to work, be careful that the centimeters are deducted." ”
"Abba, Abba. Qiao Jiayue ran over and hugged Qiao's father's leg.
Qiao Hongliang shouted in a low voice, and stood quietly aside.
Qiao's father bent down and picked up Qiao Jiayue, "This road is so far, why did you come here?" He glanced at Qiao Hongliang, "Xiaoliang, how do you take care of your sister?"
"Abba, don't blame the third brother, I have to come. Qiao Jiayue hurriedly explained, struggling to get off the ground, "Abba, what were you talking about just now?"
She thought that the black cloud on the man's head was not small, enough for him to be unlucky for a while.
"I want the captain to open a certificate and go to the county seat to see if I can buy an iron pot. Father Qiao said lightly.
"Do you want to open a certificate when you go to the county seat?" Qiao Jiayue asked curiously, her memory was not very clear, she only knew that she didn't need any proof to go to the commune.
"Yes, we're more strict here. Qiao's father didn't hide it from his daughter, everyone knew about it, "Since you are here, then sit in the shade, don't run around, Abba will go to work." ”
Qiao Hongliang watched Qiao's father leave, and then quietly walked next to Qiao Jiayue, "Sister, are you thirsty?"
Qiao Jiayue nodded, and walked for such a long time, it was too hot to be in the morning, "Where is the water?"
Qiao Hongliang ran to pick a few large leaves, made them into a cone, and then went to a stone wall behind the house to catch water.
Qiao Jiayue followed behind Qiao Hongliang, watching his approach, and then folded a cone with a leaf and picked up the water.
There wasn't much water seeping out of the stone walls, but it was cleaner than in the gutter.
"Third brother, why are we so strict?" Qiao Jiayue called out the system, looking at the things in the system mall, if there is something affordable, he will grab it.
Qiao Hongliang leaned into Qiao Jiayue's ear, "I'll tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone." I overheard the adults talking that there are many enemies on our side, and we can't let our guard down. ”
Qiao Jiayue was stunned for a moment, and quickly connected the matter, speaking of which, it is still the relationship between their geographical location, the southeast coast, close to a certain treasure island, isn't it necessary to investigate strictly?
In this difficult period, it is estimated that there are many people who are smuggled away, but most of them should be coastal villages and towns.
After thinking about it, Qiao Jiayue found that a package suddenly appeared in the system, called "Ten Kinds of Fast-growing Wild Vegetables", which was very cheap, only 199 star points.
Without the slightest hesitation, she bought it right away.
She had thought countless times about what to do in a famine year and what the system should exchange.
Improved food crops are sometimes not necessarily a good thing, and they are easy to expose themselves.
In this era, the importance of food is unimaginable to future generations, and they will not understand that if you really want to check a person in this era, it is really digging three feet into the ground.
Qiao Jiayue was in a daze, Qiao Hongliang didn't notice anything unusual, he himself was not a person who would pay attention to others.
The two drank some water, and after chatting for a while, they heard the sound of someone talking on the side, which was the end of work.
Many yellow-faced and thin-skinned people ran quickly on the rugged path in twos and threes, and soon reached the dirt road halfway up the mountain.
Qiao's father fell to the back, he picked up a child in one hand, and strode away, "Hungry or not, let's go back." ”
"I said second brother, you came to work and brought the two babies, what a hindrance!" Third Uncle Qiao caught up from behind, and frowned when he saw Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang.
Father Qiao glanced at him lightly, "You talk a lot." ”
Third Uncle Qiao was stunned, second brother is angry? Forget it, he didn't bother to care, a few quick steps overtook Qiao's father and walked forward, talking and laughing with the people in front of him.
Qiao Jiayue looked at the back of Uncle Qiao, and was not impressed by him, only knowing that he was often scolded by Grandpa Qiao for being a lazy man, and he was chased and beaten a lot.
An adult is very faceless like this, but he giggles every day, it doesn't matter.
With Qiao's father in his arms, the speed of going home is much faster, and Qiao's mother goes to work in the east of the village, which is closer, and the meal has been prepared.
Qiao's mother made wild vegetables and sweet potato rice porridge, because it was stuffy for a long time, and the wild vegetables were already yellow.
The amount of that clay pot, a family of six people, one person and half a bowl is up to the sky.
Qiao Jiayue had an impulse to take out all the food she had saved, but how to explain it?
Yesterday she took the rice, and no one at home asked, she didn't know what they were thinking, and she was a little weak-hearted.
Can she excuse herself by digging up the food that others have hidden, once or twice, too many times?
Rao is previous life has lived for so many years, and Qiao Jiayue doesn't feel that she is smarter than Qiao's father and Qiao Hongyuan, she just knows part of the future development.
Biting her lip, she decided to confess the system to her father at night, and as for rebirth, forget it.
If you want to live a better life in this era, you can only twist the whole family into a rope, and it is too difficult and impossible to rely on her strength alone.
Qiao Hongzhi and Qiao Hongliang were eating, with a satisfied face, but Qiao Hongyuan glanced at Qiao Jiayue from time to time.
Qiao's father gently knocked his second son's head with the head of his chopsticks, "Concentrate on eating." ”
Qiao's mother reached out and rubbed her second son's head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan, listen to your father." ”
"Ashan, I won't go to work in the afternoon, you come back early. After eating, Qiao's father said to Qiao's mother.
A trace of doubt flashed in Qiao's mother's apricot eyes, "What's wrong?"
"It's a good thing. Father Qiao said with a smile.
Mother Qiao didn't think much about it, and nodded, "Okay." ”
After talking to Qiao's mother, Qiao's father went to Qiao's third uncle's house and asked him to tell the captain of the fourth team in the afternoon that he would not go to work in the afternoon.
This made Uncle Qiao envious, and he asked several times, but he didn't ask the reason before he gave up.
