Chapter 21: Grandma's House
Seeing that the three tables were full of meat dishes, smelling and smelling fragrant, the adults helped the children to fill the rice in the bowl, and then started eating lively.
There is meat to eat, Ye Yao's cooking is delicious, the relatives don't speak, all the big gulps of food, the children's mouths are full, only one or two men eat slowly after drinking, and the relatives who eat a meal are full of oil, happily satisfying their appetites.
I usually cook at home, I don't have meat, and I don't want to put oil, where is the smell of today's meat and vegetables?
Even the most naughty children have become honest to eat, with fast hands and slow hands, and they will eat small if they are shy.
In the era when people take food as their day, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and food are not enough, not to mention that the clothes are shared, everything needs a ticket, and there is no cloth ticket, so you can only wear a piece of clothing for three years, and sew and mend it for another three years.
The relatives had eaten their fill, packed the leftovers, and then sat down to drink tea and talk about homely food.
"This year, the fields have just been divided, and the grain that has not been planted is enough to eat, and the rice is cut late, and it is said that the surplus grain will be handed over, and the remaining grain is not enough to eat." Grandma and sister-in-law said worriedly.
"Yes, everything needs tickets, food tickets, sugar tickets, cloth tickets, tofu tickets, fish tickets, meat tickets, match tickets, industrial tickets, now some things can be bought without tickets, but they are expensive, and it is not so difficult to buy meat slowly."
Grandma also said with a worried expression.
"When children are older, they have to study and pay tuition." My grandfather's sister spoke worriedly.
"Now you can contract mountains to plant fruits and trees, contract land to plant and dig fish ponds, and you can eat enough to eat hard." Grandpa came up with an idea.
"Yes, I will also plant more grain in the second half of the year, and now the little land allocated to my family is not enough to eat." Grandma's sister said.
"Daughter, do you have contracted land?" Grandma asked Mom.
"I want to pack two acres of land in the second half of the year, and the harvest in the first half of the year is only enough to pay the surplus grain, and now I don't have enough to eat!" Mother Ye Yao said helplessly.
"It's okay to wrap a little, just work harder, only the two of you work, you can't do too much, and the doll can't help." Grandma comforts her daughter Ye Yao.
"Now we can grow more grain, and we can take out more food and sell it." The uncle touched his head and spoke.
"Is that okay? The Red Guards won't catch it again, right? "The third aunt is afraid, no wonder they are afraid, ten years of turmoil, how many people have been ruined, it is really a snake bite, ten years of fear.
"Now that the central government has issued a policy and reform and opening up, you can do business or be self-employed." Uncle can trust the way.
"That's great, if you can sell things, the dolls will be able to have money to study." Dad Ye Xingrong smiled happily.
"Yes, yes, as the saying goes, if you starve to death, you can grow more vegetables and sell them." Grandma's sister-in-law said.
"Mmmm, next year I will plant watermelon and fruit." Father Ye Xingrong whispered.
"If you dare, you can make money by picking up something somewhere else and selling it here." My brother-in-law came up with an idea.
"That also requires capital, and it can't be done without capital." Dad Ye Xingrong said regretfully.
"Yes, you have to have the courage to be lucky, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by others, and there are many thieves outside." The third aunt shook her head without the courage to do so.
"Then first pack more land to grow things, and sell the excess, people always have enough to eat, so that they can think of other things, and it is pitiful to see the dolls so thin." Grandpa patted the small tabletop.
"That's all there is to it," the relatives nodded in unison.
Time flies really fast between the talks, all the relatives see that the time is not early, it is half past three in the afternoon, they have said goodbye, happily take things home, all feel worthwhile, there is a goal is to have motivation, walk home with the wind, want to rest early to tell the family.
