Chapter 1 The big canteen is gone
Winter 1959.
The December weather was cold and dry, and the branches of a few old willow trees at the head of the village of Nantai Commune were bare, shivering in the cold wind.
In front of the dilapidated gate, a pair of tall ginkgo trees are only dry branches, and the white fruits have already been picked up by the villagers.
A few old persimmon trees behind the house, not to mention the fruit, even the leaves have fallen off.
Cui Dake carried his big sea bowl, glanced at the shriveled treetops with his eyelids, and didn't even bother to sigh.
He pressed his hungry belly, and hurried to the big canteen west of the commune.
In his arms, he carried five thin, two-finger-wide pieces of dried sweet potatoes.
Since I crossed over here when I was 14 years old, I am now adapting to it, and in this era, I lack food and clothing, and I have to report everything I do, and I have to eat guns if I am a little out of line.
In the past three years, Cui Dake has been cautious and diligent.
Not to mention that Cui Dake stole the cattle in the village at the age of 14, even the seemingly honest little widow didn't provoke it.
Cui Dake has been working in the commune for another day today, a peasant man who is in the right year and picks up the big beams to do heavy work, and there is no oil and water in his stomach, and he can barely be satisfied after eating a pound of grain at a meal.
In terms of today's ration share in the big canteen, there are only four taels of coarse grain for one person per meal, what is the use?
Cui Dake, who turned 18 years old in half a day, was the time to grow his body, but fortunately he has been eating since the commune canteen opened at the end of last year.
Cui Dake is a gobbler, anyway, he eats collectively, and if he eats less, he loses himself.
didn't starve himself to death, but ate violently, and now he has grown to a full height of more than 1.8 meters, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
"Tsk! It's eighteen, right? This little appearance is handsome, but it's a pity that he didn't have a father and mother early, but it hurt this child. ”
Second Aunt Li followed closely behind Cui Dake, her legs were short and short, but her steps were fast, and her thick pants could be twisted out by her.
Cui Dake laughed dryly and said vaguely: "Hehe, Second Aunt Li, I will be 18 years old after tonight." ”
Cui Dake's ancestors are full of poor peasants for eight generations, and they are also honest, and they have been working in the commune team since they were 15 years old to earn work points, but it is a pity that this eldest nephew lost his parents when he was 10 years old, and the more he grows up, the more he eats, this is 18, but in his situation, it is estimated that finding a daughter-in-law is a big problem.
Second Aunt Li secretly regretted it.
Everyone rushed to the door of the canteen, at the door of the big canteen, the production captain Cui Hesheng had a cold square face with a stubble beard, and shouted while beating the gong:
"Attention, attention! Starting tomorrow, the canteen will be suspended, and each family will go to the team headquarters after eating to divide the remaining rations according to their work, and go home to start a meal. Today is the last meal! ”
Everyone was startled, and they all gathered around in a panic, and asked in a gossipy:
"Captain, why don't you do a good canteen? My pot has been smashed to support the country's steelmaking, and the rations are handed over to the canteen, and now you say that you don't want to run a canteen, this, how can our family make their own food? ”
"Captain, how much rations are left? How to divide it! ”
"Hey, let's let, let's let, team, captain, this is no, don't do it, do it big......"
"Big tongue, don't make a fool of yourself! You still owe it to the team! What rations ...... distributed?"
"Don't make any noise!"
Cui Hesheng stared at him, his face was so black that he could drip ink, and he roared: "What's the noise!" Suspend it for the time being, and then do it when there is surplus food. The above policies all say that you want to be flexible, what is the machine! They all hurried, ate and went to distribute the grain and firewood, and went back to the house to cook. If you don't have a pot, you can buy it, borrow it, and fight for it! A living person can still suffocate urine?! ”
Cui Dake was indifferent, but he also stepped up his pace and walked to the line to line up to eat.
He is not in a hurry to grab the grain, anyway, the team accountant Cui Zhongguo, the accountant of the bookkeeper, has a good abacus, and the food of the team members is indispensable, and he will not let you take an extra piece of grass, and it is not bad to go early and late.
Cui Dake couldn't keep much of his rations converted into labor points in the canteen.
It seems that this big canteen can't be sustained.
In fact, there were early signs of this, and the leaders all said, "Eat dry when you are busy, eat thin when you are free, and half dry and half thin when you are not busy or idle." ”
But since the big canteen was opened, everyone who was not busy was going to die to eat dry, and Yin ate grain, can he not suffer a loss?
During this year's double rush season, there was not much dry rice in the big canteen, and most of the sweet potatoes and crushed corn were mixed with a drop or two of oil.
When it was his turn, Cui Dake handed over his big sea bowl, and said with a smile to Yun Hainiang, who was cooking:
"Auntie, you have a steady hand, two more strokes from the bottom, make it thicker for me?"
Cui Dake now has thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face is angular, and he looks much more handsome than Cui Dake in the TV series in his previous life, his eyes are crooked when he smiles, and his hair is neatly combed, even if the clothes on his body are torn and old, and the patches are stacked, he doesn't look like a farmer.
Look at Captain Cui next to him, with a wide mouth and a big nose, a stubble beard and a generous face, Cui Hesheng is compared to him, the captain is like a cropper, and Cui Dake looks like a young college student.
Cui Hesheng also nodded at this time: "His aunt, it's time to grow your body." ”
The old Cui family is also a big family in the commune, the people are prosperous, and the number of people is naturally overwhelming, and the surname Cui can have a thicker voice than others in the production team.
Cui Weiyan, the team secretary, Cui Hesheng, the production captain, and Cui Dake did not come out of the five suits, and when it comes to relatives, they are still the descendants of the same team, and they dare not pay attention to these in these years, but they will take care of some of the people of the old Cui family, otherwise a half-grown son like Cui Dake, who has no father and no mother, can survive until now?
Yun Hainiang glanced at Cui Hesheng, although she couldn't get used to seeing Cui Da Ke as handsome as her son, but that little mouth was sweet, and she really couldn't talk about him with a straight face.
The big spoon stirred a few times in the bottom of the bucket, scooped up a few spoonfuls for Cui Dake, and scraped the bottom of the porridge for Cui Dake, Yun Hainiang said angrily: "If your hands are unstable, the Ming Dynasty doesn't need to give you a share, you can eat your own food!" ”
Cui Dake responded with a smile, held his bowl of porridge, looked up and thanked Cui Hesheng, and went to the side table to eat.
I didn't look at other people's sad faces at all.
I swallowed the porridge in one go, and finished nibbling the dried sweet potatoes in my arms.
Cui Dake touched his shriveled stomach, it was full of water, and it could make a noise when he shook it.
After tonight, the system will be activated, and Cui Dake can't help but feel excited when he thinks of this.
Cui Dake didn't know why he crossed into this world, he only knew that he was a college student who had just graduated in the 21st century, his name was Cui Daihe, and he was about to look for a job, but he didn't expect an epidemic to come, the economy was in a depression, and it was difficult to find a job.
I can only be an otaku at home while looking for a job, and occasionally watch dramas, and I just stayed up late that day to watch a few episodes of TV series where people are iron rice and steel.
When I woke up, I actually became the fourteen-year-old I used to be, and when I was confused, I was mistaken for Cui Dake by others because of my appearance, and later after my own quiet inquiry, the real Cui Dake disappeared into this world.
It's so hard for this Dai River to become bigger.
Just crossed over, it was the age of half the body.
As the old saying goes, half the eldest eats the poor Lao Tzu, urging the real Lao Tzu to lie down in the ground early, if it weren't for Cui Dake's careful budgeting over the years, he gritted his teeth and went to the team early to earn work, plus other people helped a little bit bit, occasionally went down to the river to touch some snails, went to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, wild mushrooms or something, Cui Dake would have starved to death, where can he live until now.
And the other thing that supports me to live is a countdown in my head.
I saw a timer-like display in my mind: "It will take 6 hours, 12 minutes and 12 seconds for the system to activate." ”
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Cui Dake consciously withdrew from his mind, quietly stretched out his fingers, silently scraped up a little porridge water flowing out of his bowl, and quickly sipped it into his mouth, he is a social elite in the new century, how can he lick the bowl like everyone else?
After eating the porridge in the bowl, Cui Dake sighed, and then picked up his own bowl and chopsticks and walked out energetically, towards the place where he lived.
Stepping on the bluestone road under his feet, he didn't take a few steps before he saw a skinny loess dog lying on the side of the road.
Cui Dake's eyes suddenly lit up, his feet sped up a few steps, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
Gee! Isn't this the rhubarb of the little widow's house, but I haven't seen it for a few days, but I've lost a little weight, oops, no matter how thin I lose weight, I can't instigate the smell of gnawing bones.
"Cui Dake, what are you doing?" The little widow ran from behind panting, glaring at him with wide eyes and shouting a little weakly.
"Oh, it's Sister Liu, what can I do? Isn't this close to rhubarb, look at how hungry this is. Cui Dake quietly swallowed his saliva and laughed.
Rhubarb whimpered vigilantly and shrank behind his master.
"Don't bother!" The little widow's eyes widened, and she didn't believe a word.
"Hey, kindly as ~ donkey's liver and lungs ~" Cui Dake squinted his eyes at the rhubarb, and opened his voice regretfully. In the seemingly complicated gaze of the little widow behind him, he shook his head and swayed back home.
The little widow's name is Liu Yulan, she is two out of ten and three, she is not ugly, but a little delicate, but unfortunately his man died of serious illness after the little widow gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Liu Yulan is a well-known widow in Nantai Commune.
This widow looked very honest in front of her, but Cui Dake secretly found that this widow was a good person, and she often hooked up with people, and she was scheming.
Before Cui Dake came over, the original Cui Dake would occasionally help take care of it, help pick up water and chop firewood, but since he crossed over, he slowly alienated himself from the contact with the little widow, and when he grew up, the little widow wanted Cui Dake to help her collect food, repair the wall, etc., Cui Dake also directly refused.
Until now, this little widow has become more and more unpleasant to look at Cui Da.
