Chapter 385: Famine Age Five

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiuyue looked at those cotton cloths, although they were ugly, but they could be used as quilts, pavement, and cotton shoes, which was very good!

"Uncle, do you have a cotton condom here, there are relatives in the family who want to get married, but they are in the city, so ......" Jiuyue opened her mouth and asked softly!

"Comrade, now the state does not allow private trading, if you really want, three quilts, you can give it to you, but ...... I heard that there are tickets or something in the city, we are here, and I have always wanted to see it! "Although the old man is thin, he is in good spirits!

Hearing this, Jiuyue nodded, "Of course you can, but ...... I still need a few more sheets! ”

"Yes!" The old man agreed without hesitation!

In this way, Jiuyue exchanged five yuan, plus sugar tickets, oil tickets, match tickets and a few industrial coupons, in exchange for three large quilts, and a few pieces of cloth, and took advantage of the darkness to carry them to her home!

In the dim oil lamp, Jiuyue put them on the old quilt and lay on the soft quilt, and several children fell asleep immediately!

Time waits for no one, Jiuyue is busy every day, after sewing the three quilts, the old cotton is not thrown out, but mixed in the old clothes, acting as a core!

The new clothes stuffed the big wardrobe to the brim, and the two children couldn't put it down with the new clothes, so Jiuyue sewed a few coat covers for them and put them on top of the cotton clothes, after all, the cotton clothes are particularly difficult to wash, and the clothes cover is much easier, and they will be disassembled and washed when they are dirty!

After this period of busy work, the village began to harvest grain, but looking at the grain harvested, they were too frightened to speak, the whole village had hundreds of acres of land, and less than 50,000 catties of grain were harvested, what kind of concept is this!

On average, one acre of land is only a few dozen catties of grain, and in modern times, hundreds of catties are often used, and the highest is 1,000 catties.

At night, the silence in the village was terrible, the cold wind blew in the empty woods, and the whining sound in my heart was very frightening!

After handing over the grain that should be handed over to the state, the little grain in the village was piled up in the granary, and there was only a shallow low, and the village chief had been worried for several days and couldn't eat, sitting with a dry cigarette, and finally sighed!

"You say, what should I do? There is not enough food to eat now, so don't starve to death by then! The village chief said uncomfortably to the village chief's wife!

"What are you talking about, now for the sake of the present, is to quickly divide the food, can you survive? No matter what you are struggling with, after all, you are not the only one, we are still good, and we are still a little harvest, you go outside to see by yourself, there are many places, and there is no harvest! ”

"Alas~ What do you say is wrong with this God? Finally, I was a little hopeful, but here comes this ......"

"Okay? Don't worry, old man, let's quickly divide the food, and then do what we need to do! ”

"Alas~"

The village was quickly divided into two times, forty or fifty households, and in the end, only more than 100 catties of grain were distributed, but every household had dozens of people, plus those relatives who defected, this bit of food was not enough to even plug the teeth!

"Village chief, you have also seen that there are so many people in my family, how can this little food be enough to eat!" A villager finally couldn't help but speak, and said complaining!

"yes, yes, is there anything to add to the weeds now, you say...... What should I do in the next few days? ”

"It's really terrible, more than 100 catties, how can I eat enough!"

"Yes, I still have so many relatives at home......"

Hearing these words, the village chief knocked on the table impatiently, "There is only so much food, if you don't believe it, you can go to the granary and see for yourself, can I still lie to you?" At the beginning, you received more than 50,000 catties of grain, except for donating it to the country, the rest is in your hands! ”

"This ......" The villagers didn't know what to say, and the dark clouds suddenly hung over their heads, and a low breath was reflected on everyone's bodies!

"Village chief, now is not the time for self-love and self-pity, we have to think about the next road, how to go!" Jiuyue is not a person who regards human life as a mustard, so he hurriedly began to remind!

Hearing this, the village chief raised his head and glanced at Jiuyue in surprise, in his memory, Jiuyue has always been a timid and cowardly child, but recently, it refreshed his senses, she subdued three young people by herself, her strength was terrifying, and when she heard her speak, she asked suspiciously: "What can be done?" As you can see, now there is not even a sprout on the tree, and the grain has been harvested, and we ......"

"Village chief, we can plant, I heard that planting sweet potatoes is very abundant, let's rush a little between us, it can be regarded as a little harvest, and then plant some vegetables with a shorter harvest and the like, we will definitely be able to survive!"

"What are you talking about?" The village chief stood up suddenly, pointed to Jiuyue's nose, and said angrily: "Hurry up and get rid of the idea you just had for me, you are a little rich thought, and you will have to post a big-character poster when the time comes!" ”

"Village chief, I have already said what I said just now, do you want to see so many people starve to death, or let's vote, see what everyone thinks, if everyone agrees, sign and draw, even if there is a problem, it is impossible to catch it all!" Jiuyue looked at those villagers and said calmly!

When the village chief heard this, he suddenly became discouraged, squatted on the ground, and waved his hand, "Cheng, if you agree, raise your hand for me, if you don't agree, don't raise your hand!" ”

As soon as the village chief's words fell, the villagers looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and slowly raised their hands.

Most of the villagers have been squeezed out, and there are only two or three people left who have not gone, but the majority obeys the minority, since everyone has raised their hands, they have to agree if they don't agree, and after signing and drawing, everyone hurried to work, re-cultivated the land, and planted sweet potato seedlings!

After a good one, everyone was not idle, in front of and behind their houses, they planted a lot of vegetables, and the vegetables of this season are nothing more than some cabbage radishes and the like, and if they are better, they will also plant carrots!

After this was done, Jiuyue was not idle, she went to the mountains to collect firewood all day long, and then repaired the house, and when the dust settled, the first snow fell in the sky!

Jiuyue has been busy weaving straw curtains these days, and after weaving them, covering them on vegetables can also resist some cold winter!

Jiuyue taught them literacy and literacy, and after preparing for the New Year, she sent them to school.
