A few children obediently began to eat.

"Isn't it delicious?" the old lady really waited for someone to give an evaluation.

Several children's mouths were stuffed, unable to speak, and could only nod their heads to express their feelings.

"Haha, eat slowly, two slices per person, it's too late today, I'm afraid you'll accumulate food if you eat too much, let's eat the rest tomorrow, grandma will keep it for you." The old lady watched happily as her little grandson devoured it.

In the past few months, I have followed the little girl to eat and drink spicy food, which has changed the old lady's mentality. If she had seen the child so able to eat earlier, she would have been worried, the family was so poor, and the child was still so able to eat, of course, she was worried about how to feed the child. But now she has no worries about food and clothing, there is still surplus food in her hands, and when she sees the child eating like a little wolf cub, she feels happy, it is a blessing to be able to eat, and being able to eat means that the child is healthy, not sick or sick.

At this time, Li Yuanshan came in with hot water, and at the signal of the old lady, she directly added hot water to the porridge basin in the middle.

The old lady took a spoon and stirred it in the basin, and when she saw that it was almost over, she asked the third child to stop, and then she served porridge to the children one by one.

"Okay, don't push it off, I'll eat it as soon as it's served to you. "The old lady is talking about the three of them.

As long as the two of them were scruples about this, the children had already started drinking with bowls.

Zhao Xiangguo saw that the old lady was sincere in letting them eat, so he stopped twisting, and whispered to his daughter-in-law: "Our mother has said it, you can eat, you didn't eat anything at night." ”

Li Yuanshan glanced at the man and sighed quietly.

There is not much food at home, Li Yuanshan, a mother, usually only eats with men and sons, she mostly drinks half a bowl of paste at night, and she doesn't need to sleep on the kang to digest it, so Li Yuanshan is basically hungry every night.

But what can be done about this, every household in the village is like this, tightening their belts and hoping that next year's year will be better, and more grain can be harvested in the fields.

Li Yuanshan picked up her bowl and took a sip, and the man stuffed a steamed bun with meat in her hand.

"Our mother said, two people tonight, eat quickly. Zhao Xiangyang loved his daughter-in-law very much, and gave her the steamed buns in his hand first.

"You eat too, and you don't eat much at night. Li Yuanshan also took a steamed bun on the plate and stuffed it into the man's hand.

Zhao Xiangyang basically eats as much as his daughter-in-law, and a woman doesn't feel hungry, but you can imagine what kind of starvation he has to be for a man.

While eating, the old lady watched the interaction between the two opposites, and her heart was not good. Although the third son-in-law's family is a little poor, he has a good character and is sincere to his daughter.

The meal was very warm, and the old lady asked them about the situation in the village, mainly how the harvest was in the field and how much grain was distributed during the autumn harvest.

The smile on Zhao Xiangguo's face slowly faded, and Li Yuanshan directly began to wipe away her tears, "This god really doesn't give people a way to live, it doesn't rain when it should rain in summer, Xiang Guo and the men in the village in order to water the field and keep a little more food, they carried water to water the ground during the day, and the skin on their shoulders took off several layers, and as a result, the grain production was reduced by half." The rest of the grain had to be paid to the public grain, and we worked hard for a year, and there was nothing left until the end. ”

"What, it's not at all, how can it be? Then I won't let you live?" The old lady was also startled, their village had a little food, not much, but if you were careful about it, you could eat it for two or three months.

"No, the captain said that other production teams reported in the commune with a yield of 1,000,000 catties per mu, and he couldn't hold back, so he also reported a yield of 1,000 catties per mu. Zhao Xiangyang's face was cold when he talked about this, at that time, many villagers were looking for the captain to theorize, isn't this a pit, how can the members survive if they can't get food.

As a result, the captain shook his hands and said that if the members were not convinced, they could go to the commune to get the food back.

Several villagers heard that he was so irresponsible, and there was no way, so they could only unite a few people and find the commune together.

As a result, the director of the commune slapped the table and scolded them. Isn't this, the grain has been collected and handed over to the state, how can it be possible to regret taking it back, this is not a trick.

As for the members of the commune saying that they had not received any food, and that the family would not be able to open the pot and starve to death, the director of the commune did not believe it at all. "Don't you still have your own land, don't think I don't know that you all grow food in your own land. Now that the country is in the most difficult period, you, as Chinese people, must overcome all kinds of difficulties to support the country at this time. "It means that you will not get it when you go back and eat the grain that comes out of your own field.

The members of the club are bitter, they are all planting buds in their own land, but a family is so three or four points of self-reserved land, even if the harvest is not much food, some families of more than ten people, pointing to more than 100 catties of buds to live, think about it is impossible.

"That king and eight calves have made our village miserable. Zhao Xiangguo scolded with a gloomy face.

"Such a bastard, you still let him be the captain and continue to harm people?" the old lady was also very angry when she heard this.

"No, after the autumn harvest, our village united to the commune and sued him. Li Yuanshan said, "But even if he comes down, it's useless, and the food can't come back." ”

"Hey, I can only endure such a harmful thing. "The old lady is also an ordinary member of the society, and she understands that in this matter, what the ordinary members say has no weight at all, and the people above will recognize the food and not the people.

"And what do you usually eat?" asked the old lady again.

"Eat anything, as long as you can. Li Yuanshan replied, "Tree bark, insects, whatever they are, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they can get it." "Fortunately, there are mountains on their side, and although there are no wild things on the mountains, there are still a lot of trees and insects. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, you will not starve to death for the time being.

Yuan Si heard that she was a little nostalgic, when she went out on a mission in the last days, she used local materials, sometimes the environment is very harsh, there are no mutant beasts to hunt and eat, so there can only be something to eat, insects, tree roots, and bark can also be eaten.

"Mother, don't talk about us, what's going on with our family?" asked Li Yuanshan cheered up.

"Our family, the situation is similar, until our captain is not the one who has lost his conscience, in the autumn, he will give everyone some food, not much, but if you save a little mixed with wild vegetables and poplar leaves, you will not starve to death. ”
