Xiao Wenxu took it and looked at the documents and letter of introduction, "Xiaoyuan, don't blame the third master for thinking too much, the main reason is that the food is too difficult now, and some teams are not as good as us. ”

"Third master, I understand you, now that there is a natural disaster, it is very difficult for everyone, so I am the first to run back to my hometown, thinking that I can help you get through this difficulty." Xiao Yuan said earnestly, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain!

At this time, people began to come one after another, both men, women and children, Xiao Yuan also learned that there were only nineteen households in the entire village, among which there was also a five-guarantee household, and there was only one old man left, who was still his grandfather's generation.

There are a total of 106 people, which still includes 19 people in his uncle's family, and after removing them, only 87 people remain.

After discussing with the captain and the accountant for a while, Xiao Yuan moved three hundred catties of cornmeal from the car, white flour is impossible, such fine cornmeal is already a very good grain, it is considered a coarse and fine grain.

Xiao Yuan suggested that they should be distributed according to the number of heads, 18 to 60 years old, four catties per person, and three catties per other person, which should be enough, of course, there is no need to count his uncle's family.

The village sold him two task pigs, both of which were about 180 catties, and eight and a half piglets, seventy or eighty catties. If you get a dozen more chickens for him, there is really nothing to feed, so it is just right to deal with him.

Of course, Xiao Yuan takes care of his own people, pigs and chickens are counted the same, and the gross weight is one pound for four pounds of corn flour, if it is a grain stamp, it will be five catties, and if it is a sweet potato and potato, it will be eight catties.

In addition, he organized a hunting with the village, the game and the same calculation as the domestic pig, over a mountain, and a pond of water, with an area of dozens of acres, the water is very deep, he will also take everyone to go fishing once, and the fish meat can only be halved.

The two village cadres were very excited, and kept praising Xiao Yuan for being the pride of the Xiao family, a good boy, and not forgetting his roots, at this moment Xiao Yuan actually had some pride and a sense of belonging, he just did something insignificant.

Xiao Wenxu immediately arranged for someone to carry the grain away, not to disturb them and the whole family to catch up, and also refused Xiao Yuan's invitation to eat, the family can divide more than a dozen catties of coarse and fine grain, this is a big deal, many families have stopped!

There are only two big families left, Xiao Jincai, as the eldest, knows that he has more than his younger brother in his family, which is the old mother's, so he simply eats at his house at noon!

Steamed steamed buns with two pots of two noodles, potatoes and big carp, and a few dishes at home, a good meal for the whole family at noon was also for Xiao Yuan.

There are enough people to cook, the three daughters-in-law are the main force, the two mothers-in-law are the guides, and the men accompany the old lady, smoking, drinking tea, and chatting.

Xiao Yuan also got to know his four nephews and three nieces, and also cared about the family situation of his three cousins and one aunt, all of whom were married nearby, how good could the conditions be?

"How is my uncle's house, have you heard of it?" Xiao Yuan remembered that he also had an uncle, his mother's younger brother, and his grandparents had all passed away.

"I met once in the township two years ago, smoked a cigarette and chatted for a while. He has only one daughter in the family, your aunt was injured in childbirth, and her daughter studied very well, she should have graduated from high school now, and she hasn't seen her since. ”

Xiao Jincai took a puff of cigarette, such relatives have long been out of contact, after all, the second brother and wife died, and Xiao Yuan has been a soldier for more than ten years and is not at home.

"Their one is called Diaowo Village, next to the township, Manchu Village, I'll take a look in a few days." Since Xiao Yuan is back, he has to go and see.

"Yes, they are only separated from your sister-in-law's house by a mountain, one east and one west." Xiao Jinxi went to Xiaomei's house a few times and knew over there.

"Okay, I'll go and see it then, after all, I haven't been back for many years. By the way, Xiaohai, did you graduate from junior high school, what are your plans? Xiao Yuan asked the youngest cousin.

"Brother Yuan, I graduated from junior high school last year, so what are my plans, follow my dad to learn to hunt in the mountains." Xiao Donghai said embarrassedly that he was only five years old when Xiao Yuan left as a soldier, the age he just remembered.

"What's the point of that, I'll arrange for you to be a soldier, it's good to develop in the army after graduating from junior high school, and it's good to arrange a job when you come back, how about it?" Xiao Yuan asked him.

"Of course that's good, brother, I've always wanted to be a soldier and learn from you!" Xiao Donghai was very happy, what is there to do in the ravine!

"Xiaoyuan, can you really arrange for Donghai to be a soldier? Of course, that's the best, this kid is very similar to you when you were a child, his brain is easy to learn things quickly, and he can endure hardships. Xiao Jinxi was very excited, this is a good way out.

"That's okay, come with me when I leave, and I'll send you to my old chief, and I'll be a soldier in Jingbei City." Xiao Yuan decided to send him to Zhao Zongqing.

Looking at the circle of people, Xiao Yuan felt that something was wrong, why were the children at home, "Big brother, why didn't the children go to school?" ”

"Mengzi is in the second year of junior high school in the township, and he brings food to school, but there is really no way to do it recently, and the school has lost half of the students, and he hasn't been there for a week." Xiao Dongfang sighed, there is nothing to eat at home, where is there food to bring to the children!

"Mengzi is 14 years old this year, right? I remember when I was a soldier, he was almost able to walk. Xiao Yuan understood his cousin's discomfort.

"yes, he's from August '46 and should say 15 by now. Da Ya, Er Ya, Huazi and their sisters go to elementary school in Erdaogou next to them, and classes have been suspended for half a month, teachers and children are busy looking for food, besides, drink some wild vegetable paste, and go to school and be hungry again. Xiao Dongfang talked about the three girls in the family.

"We can't do anything about the suspension of the elementary school, so the fierce son hurriedly sent him back to school. No matter what, children have to study, even if they don't study well, they have to graduate from junior high school, whether they are soldiers or factories, they have advantages. "Xiao Yuan told everyone, how can you not go to school.

"Okay, I'll send him back to school in the afternoon, I will definitely let him study, and after graduating in two years, I will also send him to be a soldier." What does Xiao Dongfang understand? Cousin this is to take care of the child.

"When the time comes, it depends on the learning situation, if you study well or continue to study, high school students can arrange jobs, even if they are soldiers, it is easy to be promoted, and when the time comes, it depends on the situation, not necessarily as a soldier, I can find a way to get him into the factory as an apprentice." Xiao Yuan said to his cousin that he was stable in the iron factory at that time, and a job quota was nothing.

"Okay, Xiaoyuan is right. In the afternoon, you bring him more Erhe noodles steamed buns, he is still growing his body, we can eat anything at home, and we have to study anyway! Xiao Jincai said to his eldest son, this is the eldest grandson with a long head, and he must be loved.

At noon, they sat at two tables, and the eight masters of the Xiao family sat at one table, and a few of them wanted to drink, and they also brought Xiao Meng, the eldest grandson, with them, of course they would not let him drink.

Xiao Yuan's refusal uncle took the Xifeng wine, this is a good wine to keep, there is a big box of two pots he prepared in the car, just take four bottles.

Can't drink too much, the Xiao family is a good amount of alcohol, the key is that there is still something to do in the afternoon, needless to say, the three daughters-in-law want to send some food to their parents' family, right? Aren't aunts and aunts the same?

No one will rely on so much food at home to make their parents and family hungry, such people are too ruthless, relatives and relatives, isn't it just a critical moment to help? And what about the daughters' families, can they bear to let them go hungry?

As for grandma's maiden family, forget it, not to mention her parents, her brothers and sisters are almost gone, only a third sister-in-law is left, nephews and nieces have died, after all, the old lady is seventy years old, and she is still the youngest sister.

"My sister-in-law's family doesn't need to send it, I'll go over tomorrow, and I'll bring them food then." Xiao Yuan took the initiative to say that he would transport the pigs away at night and come back tomorrow with grain.

The Xiao family ate it, a beautiful meal, many people ate it, mainly the children, and let go of the food when they had delicious food, but the adults stopped it.

After eating, everyone is already ready to move, Xiao Yuan understands this mood, hurry up and do what to do, I'll just chat with grandma, you can quickly divide and send food.

Xiao Dongfang ran to borrow the donkey cart in the team, he was responsible for delivering food to his two younger sisters and his father-in-law, and he also had to send his son to school in the township.
