For the sake of life, Guo had to buy rice.

In this era, some people can't eat enough, and naturally some people are full.

Whether you are full or not, the most important thing is whether there are fewer or more people in the family, that is, whether you have been overborn.

Family planning began to be implemented in '82, and after '90, the people concerned with the arrest of superbirths began to run around the mountains.

However, many ordinary people took Taizu as an example, so that Taizu's ideas were implemented and even integrated.

In particular, Taizu's guerrilla tactics have been carried forward by many superborn families.

When the family planning personnel came, the women, the superborn guerrillas, left their homes and ran away into the uninhabited mountains.

When the people were gone, they came back. And sometimes the relevant personnel kill a carbine, and it will definitely fail, because all the people are "soldiers".

In the end, the personnel concerned left in disgrace, and the superborn guerrillas began to create people again.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in just a few words: the enemy chases me and runs, the enemy stops and I stop, I will return when the enemy retreats, and I will build if the enemy does not come.

People in this era still have old thoughts, such as if they have no children, then no one will support them for the elderly, which is the most frightening thing for those people with old thoughts.

The above is one of the reasons why there are more children in the family.

However, there are also those who are afraid of ligation, and the male babies in the family have given birth to five or six, and they still refuse to be ligated, and at this time they are still thinking about having a baby, well, they want to give birth to a female baby, and when they grow old in the future, someone will shed tears.

In the countryside, when people die, they cannot be said to be dead, but to be old. The old people all uphold that their sons will die in old age, and their daughters will shed tears, at least Guo will go to his hometown.

Therefore, the phenomenon of preference for sons over daughters is relatively light, and it is best to have half of sons and daughters, and if this is the case, the adults will go to the ancestors to make a stone tablet to thank them for their blessing.

Straight to the point.

Due to the luxury of these days, I eat white rice every day, so there is not much rice at home.

Fortunately, when the village heard the news that Guo Qu's grandfather was always muttering, "There is no rice at home, where can I buy rice?", many people volunteered to come to negotiate.

Uncle Guo also came, his children are still in high school in the county, and he must save enough money for tuition, so the five catties of wild boar meat cut for his family yesterday were also sold on the street by his uncle.

His uncle came in person, so naturally he had to buy his family's rice, and finally weighed fifty catties of rice and gave his uncle a hundred yuan.

From this data, you can see how expensive this rice is, Guo Qu, who has memories of his previous life, carefully recalled the price of rice, and found that from 94 to 21 worlds, the price of rice was fixed at about two yuan a catty, and after a decade, the price of rice hovered between two and three yuan.

From the above data, you can see how expensive rice was in the nineties, and it is no wonder that many families cannot afford to eat white rice.

However, how long can you eat 100 catties of rice? Two months? It will take less than two months to eat!

Then that is, the money in his hands will not last a few months at all!

The price of rice is so expensive, but then Guo Qu found that there is not enough oil.

Because in the past few days, not only is the rice white rice, but even the oil is twice as much as usual, just like that, he is still not satisfied, and he thinks that the oil is less.

As a descendant, or a person who has wine today and is drunk today, it is true that he is not accustomed to the thrift of people in this era.

In this era, people often eat one meal, if you count according to the small bowls of later generations, an adult will eat five or six bowls, or even seven or eight bowls!

The reason is that there is less oil and water in the dishes, and the farm work is very heavy during the day, so they are basically busy all day, and when they come home at night, they are still hungry, so there is no need to surprise people's meals.

A month later, the oil at home was gone, and within a month, it was eaten up, and one of the three cans of oil that was originally going to be eaten for a year was more than 60 catties of lard. Coupled with what I ate in the first half of the year, there is not much left of the three cans of oil.

Guo went to try to buy five catties of vegetable oil on the street, and wanted to stir-fry vegetables with lard and vegetable oil.

However, the old man frowned, he couldn't get used to eating rapeseed oil, he didn't say it, he still ate it silently, and Guo Qu naturally couldn't pretend that he didn't see it.

Therefore, after eating five catties of rapeseed oil, he went to the street and bought fifty catties of "sitting on the grass mound", that is, pig butt meat, which the old family likes to call sitting on the grass mound.

The fattest part of the pig is also the most oily part.

"Oh, how much does it cost to carry such a large piece of pork butt meat?" When the old man went to the street to carry the pork butt meat, he couldn't stop feeling distressed.

"I have oil and water in my stomach to have the strength to work, and this meat must be bought. ”

I don't know when it started, this family is already Guo Go's house.

It was only at this time that he knew the true meaning of the phrase "if you don't know how expensive oil and rice are".

In his previous life, he was used to being single, and now he was drunk and drunk, and he didn't think about starting a family, but now there are two more people in the family, and he finally feels the pressure of life.

It's not enough to just sell wild things, because the number of wild things is limited, and they will become fewer and fewer, and more and more refined.

So in the case of meeting the family's expenses, he still has to save some money so that he can have start-up capital.

But for the time being, his eyes are still on the mountains, the countryside wants to get money quickly, one is to cheat, the other is to steal, and he has to deceive and steal those who are slightly richer, he doesn't want to touch these two points, one is that he has no skills, and the other is because he obeys the call of his heart - cowardice.

Fifty catties of pork butt meat only boiled out nearly forty catties of lard, and the rest was oil residue, and this oil residue was all paste, just to boil out some more oil, but it is estimated that it is only enough to eat for one or two months, so the money in his hand is not enough at all.

If a wild boar is caught in one, then the other wild boars will not dare to go to the black soil in a short time, they will go to another water source, but they just want to catch the wild boar again, it is not an ordinary difficulty.

But no matter how difficult it is, he has to try, this is the only way for him to make money, after all, he is only ten years old, and he has no chance to go to those big cities if he wants to go far away, first, he is still too young, his grandfather does not allow him to leave home 200%, and second, he is so young, even if he is full of ideas, others will not believe him.

So...... It's better to stay at home honestly and coax that girl in your own house.

In the past month or so, he has changed countless places to place large and small clips, but he only caught three or two hares.

However, during this time, he has stepped on the spot many times, roughly grasped the movements of wild boars, and also found traces of wild goats and roe deer.

In this way, his mind changed rapidly, and his mind was hit by the wild goat and the roe deer.

However, thinking that they were very fast, and that they were much more difficult to get than wild boars, and that some of the gains outweighed the losses, I gave up this plan.

A few days ago last month, the old man followed him up the mountain, and later saw that it was difficult to catch wild things, so he gave up the idea of "suddenly getting rich" and planted those acres of fields at home with peace of mind.

The girl, led by Guo to himself, ran to the mountain every day, and the only gain was that he was panting and sweating from the beginning, to the collapse of Mount Tai today, and his face did not change.

But the girl was very happy, and sat on the ground covered with dead leaves in the mountains and forests every day, looking at the ants on the ground, and then studying the ants with curiosity on her face.

Of course, when Guo went to have nothing to do, he also played with the girl, she liked to hide and seek the most, Guo went to scratch blindfolded, she ran all over the woods, in order to make the girl happy, he always deliberately couldn't catch it, so the girl was every time, and she made a childish and happy laugh while running. This joyful laughter spread throughout the mountains and forests, and the frightened birds in the forest flew around.
