Old Days (84)

Because of the big things in my heart, when everything was straightened out, I looked back and found that the children seemed to have grown a lot in this year.

Lin Yutong rummaged through the small drawers at home where food stamps, oil stamps and money were placed. This thing has always been kept here, and the children are all older, and they can buy whatever they need. But this small year has passed, and when he tidied up the drawers again, Lin Yutong found that the things inside did not move much. In other words, I didn't know that I had saved a lot.

Only then did she ask the fourth master: "I didn't care about what I ate and drank at home, I thought that Duanyang and Danyang had exchanged their tickets for them." Why is there so much left?"

Is the child more in charge than himself?

The fourth master really didn't pay attention, took the things in Lin Yutong's hand and flipped through them: "This is the way these little demons got money for food." ”

Sure enough?

The grain was mainly brought back by Danyang.

Lin Yutong caught her at night and asked, "Did you get it back from the test station?"

Danyang looked at her mother: "I'm also the daughter of you and my father, can I be so stupid? There are so many people in the experimental station, why listen to me? It's not when you should be willing to give up, and you should open one eye and close one eye when you should close one eye." The grain rapeseed planted is mostly vegetables, and it is also a vegetable that comes out of the seedlings, so let's eat it ourselves and give it to my eldest brother. Other...... I also steal a point, but I'm sure I'll take the least share. What I brought back, you can just use it with peace of mind, it's really fine. ”

As soon as she explained, Lin Yutong understood. Doesn't the experimental station here send fruits and vegetables to the D center every year? All of a sudden, it became a template. After it became a template, many other test stations came to the door, called guidance. Now this is a production brigade and a test station, anyway, today's atmosphere is like this, I want to learn by example. When people come to invite, Danyang goes. I went and told them how to do the greenhouse, when and how to manage it. Running one trip after another, people coming and picking them up one by one, and they are all driving walk-behind tractors. After finishing this trip, people won't call her to run for nothing, anyway, the things grown in this experimental station are all privately shared by everyone. Take out a little bit of Lin technician's meaning, it's still possible. This can't be called meaning, people call it gratitude. It's hard to be gracious!

Danyang is also smart, and he doesn't go alone, he always takes people with him. Take this today, and take that tomorrow. What people give, they also share it out. They all feel that they have taken advantage of her, but there are fewer internal opinions.

That's how things came about.

Doesn't sound like a problem.

Then two days later, it was dark and he came back with a pot of about two or three catties of rapeseed oil. I didn't know where I brought it back last time, and I haven't finished eating it yet, so I've got it again.

Hey! It's okay for a girl! Without her parents in charge, people are quite open outside.

Even if Danyang earns back not enough to eat, isn't there still a rising sun? Take time out to repair farm tools for people all day long, and all they get back is food.

The only thing missing is meat. But this meat is not easy to buy outside, but in one place, you can get it.

From where?

Farm.

Today's farms are not the same as they used to be. In the past, the main task of the farm was to experiment with agricultural machinery and tools for the factory, whether it was planting things or raising poultry, which was mainly based on experiments and production. But now it's different, this place is not open to the public. The people locked up inside are the kind of people who everyone sees and wants to take a detour.

Originally, if it was an ordinary labor camp, grain and the like would still have to be handed over, but the reason why this farm is different is that this land was originally divided in the name of experiments. There's a lot of mountain terrain in it. There are trees planted on the mountain, and they are suitable for planting anyway, and they have basically not formed a scale. This place has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally. The guards guarding the farm were even more reluctant to let people know the details of the situation, and the external statement was that the people inside were mainly engaged in ideological reform. That's right.

But in fact, such a large area, even if the harvest is thinner, but in fact, it is also a lot. The people in it are serious that they have not had any difficult days. In the forests of the mountains, rabbits can often be caught in the woods, and the chickens are free-range. Hyosung and Ohara live in it, Danyang and they get something that the farm doesn't have, and they can't help but send some to their uncle and aunt, so when the uncle and aunt can lose the child, catch the rabbit, clean it up, cut it in half, and ask the child to send it over, and no one grows as a family.

Danyang said to Lin Yutong: "My aunt raises many chickens, she doesn't know any of them, they are all raised in the mountains." He also told me that when I came to this place, I was truly blessed. ”

That is to say, their own lives are actually dependent on Ohara and Hyosung.

Cotton is exchanged for cheesecloth, which is exchanged in the village.

It's easy to say now, but it's not easy for children to do.

Seeing that this is the Dragon Boat Festival, the sky is slowly getting hotter. Catch up with the weekend before the Dragon Boat Festival, go out early in the morning in the hot sun, and still carry a sickle. Lin Yutong thought it was the labor organized by the school, who knew that this girl went out to cut wormwood with a sickle.

Wormwood is hard to find in the city, but it can be left in the countryside, on the roadside wasteland, there are patches of wormwood everywhere. Cut the wormwood, tie it up with hemp rope, and stuff it into a snakeskin bag one by one. The two bags were put together, and they called for the thing to be hung on either side of the back seat of the bicycle. Then get on your bike and go.

The sun is still young, and she hasn't gotten up yet, she rides on this kind of big bicycle, and it's a little difficult to get enough pedals, and she has to hook her toes one by one, and it will be difficult for others to ride. What's more, if she carries something in the back seat, she can't get on the bike from behind, but pulls her legs over the beam, and in order to ride fast, she has to ride on the crossbar. In this position, the male baby rode back, but it was a female baby, and she couldn't ride on it, and went straight to the city.

She goes to the city, and if she doesn't go to unfamiliar places, she goes to the Children's Palace or the family home of the radio station. I have acquaintances here.

Wormwood like this, she sells it for two cents a small handful.

Those who know the sun come to buy, and then shout that others will come to buy it too, saying who this child is, how sensible he is, and so on.

Jiaoyang is also clever, so he asks people what they want, and he may be able to find a way to get it.

There was also this on the weekend before. Danyang took home vegetables and the like, but the family couldn't eat them at all, so she took them and sold them. I was not afraid of being stopped, so I went to the home of the teacher I knew, and then the teacher directly called someone to the door and gave points.

It's not easy to buy groceries these days. If you can get something fresh, everyone likes it.

One or two pieces down a weekend, two or three.

When I got home, I returned the money and put it in the money box.

Lin Yutong looked at it and felt sour, so he said, this money is not much less, and the food stamps are still there, it turns out that there is no one in this family who eats idle food.

The fourth master was uncomfortable: "Dad raised you, not to." ”

Chaoyang said: "This has nothing to do with being able to afford it." If you can make your own money, don't do what you only know how to reach out for. ”

But now it's really not a good way to make your own money.

When the sun is about to deliver two baskets of vegetables, it won't work. On the big roads and small roads, they are all the kind of people with red armbands, what are they doing?

This is called cutting the tail of capitalism.

The family has a few plots of land, raises a few chickens, grows some vegetables, and when the vegetables come down, all the good vegetables are secretly brought to the city to exchange money with others. This is not the only business, otherwise, it would not have to go to the family home of someone I know.

There were many people, and as soon as this movement came, many people were arrested. When the sun looked at it, many people in front of her were pinned, and some people came at her. She just dropped the basket off the back of her bike and ran away on her bike. I don't want the dishes, and I don't want the baskets. When he came back, he was still panting, and shouted Chaoyang: "Second brother, you quickly tell the eldest brother to go, and the vegetables in the self-reserved land can be shoveled and put away by yourself, so you will collect it first...... Hurry up ......"

Before I could clean up here, there was a commotion outside.

It is not an exaggeration to say that chickens fly and dogs jump.

If you don't let the chickens go, the chickens will either stew themselves or have to be confiscated.

Lin Yutong has seven or eight chickens in the cage here, and the children are also diligent in feeding, not to mention collecting five or six eggs a day, three or four, two or three are still possible, and having these eggs a day is a good dish in the eyes of ordinary people.

This is the case for all working families, let alone in the village.

People call this a chicken butt bank, which shows how important a few chickens are in a farmer's house.

What to do?

The neighbors on both sides sat on the ground and cried until midnight for the chickens at home, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After making money, you know how difficult it is to make money. Now squatting on the edge of the chicken coop is also a little reluctant: "Why don't you put it on the terrace?"

Isn't that a fool's errand?

Every house has a terrace, can they not be bad? The factory has now issued a notice, and someone will definitely be sent to inspect it later. Don't plant any vegetables in the yard, and you have to shovel the ones that are planted. This kind of thing, don't talk to Ji Hanmei, the country's policy is like this, it is not the same as other things, this matter is not negotiable.

The gold factory director's family, you must not take the lead.

Eight big fat chickens laying eggs!

Chaoyang also said: "No, I will send it to my aunt, and I will be raised in the mountains." ”

But when you go out, you find that there are patrols everywhere, where do you want to run? Not to mention the chicken coop.

Lin Yutong said, "Kill, kill and give you meat." ”

The sun is a sensible big child, and he can't bear to eat the chicken that is laying eggs. But what can be done, the fourth master and Chaoyang are cleaning up the vegetable patch. Some of the cucumbers in the vegetable field have grown, some are about to grow, and some are like the thickness of a finger, and they will definitely be eaten in another week. But now, it's going to have to be cut like this. There is also the tomato, which is about to start to turn red, but I can't keep it, so I can only pick the green eggs, and the large and small green eggs are enough to pick two baskets. You don't have to pick it off, you can even get the vines and feed it to the sheep. Danyang also said: "Don't eat green tomatoes raw, it's best not to eat them......"

But Jiaoyang felt: "It's okay to eat once in a while." Green peppers sautéed with green tomatoes are the most delicious. ”

But now this green pepper can't be spicy, and the tender ones have been picked.

The lights in the yard are probably doing such work. Of course, there are also people who want to hold on, but Lin Yutong and the fourth master can't, otherwise Ji Hanmei will have to find it first.

The two of them are busy with that, and the three of them are killing chickens at home.

Eight chickens, just chicken blood, there is a plate, this thing is particularly delicious to make blood tofu. Then boiled water and plucked the feathers, and the chicken feathers were also put away by the hot sun: "Hurry up and change the sugar for Hongwei to eat." ”

When the chicken's belly was really opened, the distressed sun screamed. There are large and small egg yolks in the belly of the chicken, how many eggs must be this.

Danyang took a bowl and carefully brought out the larger egg yolk, this can still be eaten.

That night, the chicken offal alone was half a pot of marinated, and the chickens were hung up with salt.

The next day, I really came to check, but because I forgot to clean up a jar of shallots planted in an abandoned small clay pot, I was also picked out by Ji Hanmei: "This one is pulled out quickly, it can't be had." ”

The sun pinched the shallots neatly, but there were more serious people: "This seedling of capitalism should be uprooted." ”

The scorching sun, grabbed the clay pot and threw it in the yard, this is going down.

When the people left, Danyang picked up the shallots and put them on a plate and put them under the corner of the wall outside. Occasionally, there is no vegetable, and the leaves that grow up can be used as green onions.

The fourth master saw that her daughter was angry, so he said, "Okay, Dad will plant flowers for you." Is it okay to plant a yard of roses? Build a greenhouse ...... in winter."

"Plant peonies. The sun lowered his head: "Peony is the national flower, rose...... People have to say that they like the bourgeois way of life. ”

Well, the child is not a little stimulated.

Chaoyang was going to the city to have something to do before, and when he caught up with the meal, he ate at the state-run restaurant in the city. I ordered rice, and I ordered two dishes along the way. As a result, I don't know who I called to see it, and then I reported it. Chaoyang was criticized by name. For what? It was because he went to the restaurant that he criticized him for not being simple enough and liking the bourgeois hedonistic lifestyle.

The fourth master rubbed the child's head: "Okay! Let's plant peonies." ”

But it's not right to plant peonies this month, and the little space that every family set aside at the beginning is now so idle.

This kind of unit, saying that you once and you don't pull it out, is criticism. Say you twice, and if you don't pull it out, then you have to make public criticism. Say that you are three times, and you still don't pull it out, then I'm sorry, this is the punishment. Even the smallest warning, two more punishments, is a bad thing. Who would dare to take this risk. But fortunately, everyone has lived a hard life, pull it out, pull it out, kill it, how to live in a difficult time before, and how to live now.

The unit can be like this, which can already be regarded as a mild attitude.

But in this rural area, it's not so easy to talk about. I was afraid that the brigade would not deal with it cleanly, so I sent someone from the district to investigate.

For example, Duanyang and Song Lu's family, because Song Lu is a household registration in the village, and Danyang is also a rural household registration, the homestead and self-reserved land she was assigned before are all within the scope of investigation.

Don't think about the chickens, Song Lu will also be killed. I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with it, so I sent it directly to Lin Yutong after it was cleaned. When she wants to eat, she eats it with the whole family, and she saves the trouble of making it. The vegetable field was also cleaned, and he discussed with Pan Houpu, saying that the land was empty and empty, so if it didn't work, plant herbs. Ordinary herbs are like weeds, and no one will come to check them.

But this time, the inspection team came to the trees in the Lin family's yard.

There are three households in a row, which are actually the courtyards of the Lin family. First of all, there was no house built in Danyang, and it was changed to land. There were so many miscellaneous trees in the back that couldn't grow, and Duanyang cleaned them up. There are only a few wild jujube trees, and Danyang didn't dig this thing, but got branches from other people's good jujube trees and grafted them. Last year, dates were born, and there were not many trees in each, but two large baskets were also buried
