Chapter 51: Eat Yourself

With a squeak, the door was opened from the inside, and Zuo Daya saw that the door was really a little girl who went out to learn art from her own family, and the folds on her face smiled like chrysanthemums.

"Si'er, you're back!" the joy in his tone couldn't be concealed. "Come inside, you're tired. The old lady reached out and took the burden from her back.

"Well, mother, they followed me to ask for candy ......" Yuan Si was afraid that these children would follow into the yard, so she hurriedly asked the old lady for help.

"What kind of sugar? Where is the sugar? Don't mess around here, go and go. The old lady drove away a few children who were waiting for candy like chickens.

After Zuo Daya closed the courtyard door, she pulled her daughter into the house, "Don't care about those broken children, no one's food is blown by the wind, and their shallow-eyed fathers and mothers actually pushed them out to ask for food." "The old lady has a poisonous mouth.

Yuan Si nodded, she didn't like to give food to others for no reason.

"You came back by yourself, did your master send you?" When she got into the house, she put the burden on the table, and the old lady remembered this.

"My master took me to the entrance of the village, and then he left. Yuan Si was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so she told a little lie.

"Hey, that's good. Sure enough, the old lady nodded when she heard this, "Then why don't you let your master come to the house to sit, fortunately, they are all at the door, and you can drink a glass of boiling water." ”

"Mother, have you forgotten that my master is a fairy, and he doesn't eat fireworks in the world. Yuan Si was speechless.

"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory. By the way, have you eaten? I'll make it for you if I don't eat it. "The old lady finally cares about her daughter.

"Mother, I just heard those children say that the canteen in the team has been disbanded, what's going on?" said that the meal Yuan thought about the dissolution of the canteen just now.

"What's the matter, there is no food to feed so many people. The old lady briefly explained the situation.

After the wheat harvest, most of the wheat was handed over to the state, and the rest was not enough for the entire brigade to support the autumn harvest, so the canteen could only cook the porridge more and more thinly in order to keep eating.

At first, everyone knew the situation and could understand it, but then everyone had a bowl of clear soup, and they were hungry and impatient, so they quarreled.

Ordinary members feel that some people eat more and occupy more, otherwise it is impossible to order food every day. Of course, they are referring to the cadres on the team and the few who work in the canteen. The people in the cafeteria felt very wronged, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the captain gave such a little food for every meal, and they couldn't help it. Although they can take advantage of it a little bit and scoop themselves some thick food in advance, it is only relatively speaking, and their stomachs are not much fuller than them.

The captain scratched his head even more, quarreling every day over this stuttering, the land was not good to plant, and he hoped that the autumn harvest would produce more grain, so that everyone could eat enough.

The captain saw that this would not work, so he hurried to the commune to report the situation. The commune is even more honorable, anyway, I don't have food, it's your own business to fight or kill, you told me, I listened, but there is definitely no food, if you really can't eat in a bowl, then it's better to eat separately. That way, you don't have to bite each other.

So in August, the four teams of Lijia Village disbanded the canteen at the same time, divided the remaining grain according to centimeters, and went home to cook and eat by themselves.

"Do you tell me what they are doing here, what they said at the time was wild, saying that in the future, they would work together and eat together, and the state would take care of everything, and they wouldn't have to cook by themselves, so they took away all my pots. As a result, he changed his hexagram as soon as he stumbled, and it was not as good as a child's play. The old lady was angry when she said this.

"When we still had to divide the grain, we only got less than fifty catties of wheat grains, which is all because our mother and mother are rats, and we can survive with this little thing. ”

"Also, I took the pot away at the beginning, and now let me go home to eat by myself, we don't even have a decent pot at home, do you say this is a human life?" The old lady felt distressed when she thought of the price of the iron pot in the county. The problem is that if you want to buy a pot, it's not just a matter of high price, it also needs industrial rolls, where can she, an old farmer, get some industrial rolls.

Yuan Si frowned when she heard that there were only fifty catties of wheat, "You have eaten fifty catties of wheat in two months alone?"

"Hmph, it's not fifty pounds. Your eldest sister came to borrow grain at the end of August, and when I saw your eldest sister's shrunken head and drooping head, I got angry, so I brought her ten catties of wheat. The old lady looked gloomy when she said this.

The boss followed the old man's stuffy energy, and gave birth to four sons to his in-law's family and didn't stand up. But how can I say that it is all the flesh that fell from my body, and I hate it, and I can't watch her go back empty-handed. Knowing that the boss came back this time was instructed by her evil mother-in-law, she also pinched her nose and took ten catties.

Yuan Si calculated, forty catties of wheat grains were ground into flour, and there were only thirty-four or five catties left, and she was not at home, which means that the old lady could eat half a catty of flour a day. This should be pretty good compared to the big cafeteria before.

The old lady also said, "Our family is still in good condition, those who have many children in the family, they don't dare to ask for white noodles, they have all been replaced with corn kernels, so that the whole family can mix and eat." "The ratio of fine grains to coarse grains is one to five, and one pound of wheat grains can be exchanged for five pounds of corn kernels.

"Originally, I was thinking of tightening my belt and insisting on it for two months, and it would be good after the autumn harvest, but the result was even more complete, and the commune directly took people away after the bud rice was harvested, saying that it was to support which one, and I couldn't figure it out, anyway, I knew that everyone had worked hard for more than half a year to grow food and couldn't eat enough. In the end, it's better to say that we will leave some points down, or we will really starve to death. The old lady said that what happened during the autumn grain was angry, don't want it.

"Ah, they said to pull it away, and no one stopped it?" Yuan Si also stood up her eyes when she heard this, robbing the autumn grain in the village was equivalent to robbing her rations.

The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she saw her daughter's bear-like appearance, "You can pull it down, people come with guns when they come, who dares to stop them." Hey, people's mouths are bigger than ours, so let's talk about what. "Although the old lady is powerful, an old lady who has no knowledge is still afraid of the people above the public family in her heart.

"Mother, how much grain did our family share in the autumn harvest?" Yuan Si asked with a frown.

"Hmph, you haven't been at home for half a year, there is no centimeter, and my wife is only eight centimeters a day, so he gave me 120 pounds of corn cobs, which is not enough for 100 pounds. "In previous years, the grain was directly divided into corn kernels, but this year's bud rice cobs were divided, so that the moisture in them was larger, which means that the people can get less grain in their hands.

The old lady saw that the little girl was frowning like a little old man, and knew that the girl was worried about not enough to eat, so she comforted: "You don't have to worry about these as a child, my mother dug a lot of wild vegetables in the summer, and picked up a lot of poplar leaves, saving some food, how can it be enough for our mother to deal with next year." ”

Yuan Si's face turned green, and the thought of the taste of boiled poplar leaves in the paste was really enough.
