The family of the four girls lives not far from the east side of the crossroads.

Her house was a three-room grass hut with a large compound in front of it, with a barn on one side and a pigsty and poultry house on the other.

Let's say that as soon as he walked into the gate of the fourth girl's house, he saw Wang Kui, the captain of the production team, ploughing the ground with a shovel in his vegetable garden.

The four girls usually call their parents, father and mother, at this time, the mother of the four girls, Liu Shufen, was busy feeding the pigs in the yard with an apron, and a group of chickens, ducks, and geese surrounded her.

When he saw Captain Wang Kui, he greeted knowingly: "Turning over the ground, uncle?" ”

The four girls asked the yak to help carry the water, Captain Wang Kui had already seen it in his eyes, and he knew what the reason was, but he deliberately pretended not to know, he wished that he would fulfill the good thing of his daughter and the yak as soon as possible.

Hearing the greeting of the carp, Captain Wang Kui put the shovel on the ground and raised his head: "It's the yak, this dead girl is too disrespectful, and she arrested you as a laborer again?" ”

"Carrying water is nothing to catch laborers, and it is not tiring."

As he walked into the courtyard, he spoke to Captain Wang Kui.

The mother of the fourth girl saw the yak carrying water for her own house, and knew that it was the crooked eyes of the fourth girl.

No wonder the fourth girl has been picking up water for so long, half an hour, it turns out that she has been waiting for the yak.

Liu Shufen pretended to criticize her daughter in front of the yak.

"Dead girl, why did you instigate your brother to help you carry water? Don't help her pick it in the future, you can't get used to her being lazy. ”

"I didn't let him choose, he took the initiative to pick it for me, right, Brother Yakzi?" The four girls were smug.

"It's okay, Aunt Wang, I'm here to ask Uncle what the team is doing today, just in time, by the way."

The yak said this in his mouth, but in his heart he thought that the tomboy could really stare at her eyes and tell nonsense, so she had to give her a step.

Yakzi and the four girls had already entered the house, and they heard the mother of the four girls outside talking loudly into the house.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Four girls, don't forget to give you a big cake to eat. ”

Do you still need to be commanded? Taking advantage of the fact that the yak entered the house and poured water into the tank, the four girls immediately lifted the lid of the pot.

The big iron pot with the twelve seals of the four girls' houses, with a circle of golden bud rice flour cakes pasted on the pot, steaming with an attractive fragrance.

The four girls skillfully used a shovel to pick up a cake and hold it in their hands, beckoning the yaks.

"Brother Yakzi, the one for you, one is not enough to eat, and there is still one in the pot."

This time it's the turn of the yak, embarrassed.

"I don't want it, you can keep it and eat it."

"No, you have to eat, if you don't eat you don't want to leave." The four girls blocked the door.

The yak has never eaten enough these days, and when he saw the golden bud rice flour cake, he was so hungry that he drooled. I thought to myself, it's not the first time I've eaten her food, I don't do it, I don't stop eating, I just eat, and I don't have to fight for anything.

Bud rice flour cake is a potsticker made of bud rice flour, which is really not a good food.

But in such a special era, if anyone can often eat a few golden bud rice flour cakes, it can be regarded as creation.

Last year, that is, in 1958, in order to respond to the call, the production team took out a large part of the villagers' rations and put them on high-yield satellites.

The satellite was released, but the production team had little food left.

Since August of this year, the production team has implemented "big pot rice" for a period of time, and members can also eat fragrant sorghum rice and stewed tofu.

However, the good days only lasted until the end of the year, and seeing that the food was about to run out, the "big pot rice" had to be canceled.

The only little bit of food was distributed to each household, calling on the villagers to be self-reliant and work hard; Do it yourself, have plenty of food and clothing.

There is no way, in order to continue the year's meals, all the members of the family have to be careful and trickle.

The villagers began to live a life of thrifty food and clothing, tightening their belts, the original three meals a day, has long been changed to two meals a day, when the production team will not fight hard, no one is willing to eat pure grain rice and noodles dry food.

In April, it is the season of green and yellow, and most members of the club have been unable to open the pot at home, and they have not eaten the last meal, and they can't even drink the gruel boiled with vegetable leaves.

In order to satisfy hunger, rice bran and acorn noodles have become good things, and dry stools and swelling of the body are common diseases of the villagers.

There are almost no people like the four girls' families who eat pure grain bud rice flour cakes, which is simply too luxurious.

Let's say, the barn took the bud rice flour cake handed over by the fourth girl, and ate it with a big mouthful.

The fourth girl brought a piece of pickle pimple for the yak, and her body was next to the yak, looking at the goose's gobbling up with stupid eyes, and her heart was happy.

"Brother Yakzi, is it fragrant?"

"Hmmm! Delicious. ”

He replied as he took a step back.

The four girls looked at the yak proudly.

"Do you know where this big cake came from?"

"You just gave it to me, I know that the draught does not forget to dig the well, thank you!"

She clearly knew what the four girls wanted to say, but the answer was not what she asked, and she deliberately wanted to be angry with her.

The fourth girl was anxious: "I didn't mean that, who asked you to thank me?" I'm asking you, do you know where you got the flatbread? ”

"You shoveled it out of the rice pot."

"I mean, where did the bud rice noodles come from?"

"Bud rice noodles are ground from bud rice."

Again, the question is not answered. He usually likes to joke, and when he has something delicious today, he deliberately teases the four girls.

The four girls were so angry that they kicked the skewers.

"You're so angry with me! Don't you want to know, you don't want to know, if you can't eat enough in the future, come to my house to eat, come to my house again, and I'll eat pancakes for you. ”

I don't want to know where I want to know, but I don't dare to know, because the father of the fourth girl is the production captain, and his family can eat bud rice flour cakes for breakfast, and he also said that he will eat pancakes when he comes back.

Captain Wang Kui, who he has always admired, is this kind of person, Captain Wang Kui is an old party member who is deeply loved by the people of Xingfutun, and is a good person with deep qualifications and experience, who listens to the call of the party and does practical things for the people of Xingfutun wholeheartedly.

But...... The reality is here, and it can't be denied.

Other members of the club have long eaten bran vegetables at home, and the better families only make some cornmeal soup for breakfast, and put some dried vegetables and the like in it, what is going on in his family? Could it be that pie will fall from the sky?

A big cake went down to the stomach, and the yak wanted to leave after eating, but the four girls quickly shoveled out another cake from the pot and handed it to him: "Eat another one." ”

He hesitated, and the fourth girl had already shoved the cake into his mouth.

The fourth girl revealed: "The bud rice noodles are sent by my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, and every time they come, they either send rice noodles or soybean oil, and there are many more at home." ”

The yak looked at the four girls in confusion, and thought to himself, there is a famine all over the country, and the great leader and his old people don't eat braised pork anymore, where did the tomboy eldest sister's family get so much food?

The fourth girl guessed the confusion of Brother Yakzi, and explained: "The eldest brother-in-law is the commune's grain supply store, I heard that they have a loss coefficient, I don't understand, my father has asked the eldest brother-in-law more than once, anyway, he must not take advantage of the people, nor take advantage of the public, they are careful, they can always save some rice and oil base." My brother-in-law said that the grain and oil saved cannot be handed over, and that if they are handed over, they will definitely be criticized and fought, saying that they do not give enough scales to the people, or they will not give any coefficient, in which case, they will not be able to complete their tasks. There was no way, so they distributed the grain and oil saved internally, saying that it was regarded as what kind of employee welfare? Brother Yakzi, what is employee welfare? ”

He was confused, and he didn't know what employee welfare was, so he said casually: "How do I know, it seems to be a pie falling from the sky." ”

The fourth girl agreed: "I feel like it." ”

Neither of them could figure out what was going on.
