Chapter 16 Stockpiling

In fact, Shen Yulin and Shen Yusleeve didn't have much homework, as long as they calmed down and finished writing for a while, when they went out to play, Shen Yulin was suddenly a little puzzled.

This homework doesn't seem to be so difficult to do, why did the eldest brother get beaten up for not finishing his homework before.

Shen Yulin's doubts were answered for him, and Grandma Fang saw that the two of them were going out to play, so she hurriedly told them not to run away, after all, they eat in the canteen now, and when people get off work, the canteen should be opened, and if they miss the meal, no one will leave them food.

But these two children didn't run far obediently, and the three adults who went to work and the other two children didn't see anyone until the team got off work and the canteen was about to open.

Grandma Fang waited and waited with the three children, until it was almost dark, and the families began to walk to the cafeteria, only to finally see the three adults coming back with the two children, and the three adults each carried a bundle of things.

"What's this back? Why did you come back? It was already dark, and Grandma Fang couldn't see what a few people were carrying, but she still hurriedly stepped forward to answer it.

"Acacia slivers." Fang Youshun asked her to put aside the things on her back next, and hurried to help her daughter and son-in-law, and when the two of them put down all the cotton slivers, they immediately urged a few people: "Hurry up and wash your hands and go to eat first, there will be no food if it's late." ”

"Hey." Shen Jinggui agreed, and Fang Yan hurriedly washed his hands with the two children, and rushed to the canteen with the family.

It wasn't until she came home again after dinner that Grandma Fang lit the kerosene lamp and asked Fang Youshun: "You are not tired from working all day, and you are going to get so many cotton locust slivers back." ”

"I don't want to make some baskets and baskets to sell when I have free time." Fang Youshun said a little tired while slipping on the kang.

In fact, the commune stipulates that everyone from the age of forty-five belongs to the elderly, and they can not go to work, but he always feels that it is not a matter to be idle at home, so he goes to work every day, so he can earn some work to subsidize the family.

"Now we all eat in the canteen, you have an allowance, and our family doesn't lack anything, why are you working so hard?" Grandma Fang looked disapproving.

"This canteen may not be able to eat for a few days." Fang Youshun snorted lightly, and what he said was a bit mocking.

"What do you mean?" Grandma Fang was stunned when she heard this.

"You don't know, our brigade is better, and now some brigades of grain are about to fall into the ground, and they don't go to collect it." Fang Youshun sighed faintly as he spoke, and seeing that Grandma Fang was puzzled when he heard it, he continued: "Don't you want to think about it, they don't go to collect grain, and when they finish eating the current stored grain, what will they eat and drink in the future?" ”

"Then ......, why don't they collect grain?" Grandma Fang was a little puzzled.

"Why? I don't want to work, don't I eat in the cafeteria now? I don't have anything to eat in my canteen, so I go to the canteens of other squads and other teams to eat, otherwise, I can't watch them starve to death? Fang Youshun was a little angry when he talked about this.

In fact, not only other brigades, but even our brigade, there are some teams that don't want to do it, who wants to work hard to collect food and give food to those who don't do anything, and it's not stupid.

Grandma Fang was stunned, since she started eating a big pot of rice, she was watching the children at home, what happened outside recently, she really didn't know very well.

But all her life she has been digging in the field, and Grandma Fang recognized a truth: she has food in her hands and is not panicked. If you don't do anything and just expect someone else, will that work?

Fang Youshun saw that Grandma Fang was a little stupid when she heard it, and explained: "Actually, not everyone in those brigades doesn't want to do it, and there are also people who feel sorry for the grain and want to collect it, but the team leader and the captain don't speak, if they collect it privately, it will be stealing collective property, and they will be arrested and beaten by everyone, who would dare to collect it if it's like this?" ”

Grandma Fang was even more stupid when she heard it: "Is there something wrong with them?" If you don't collect food yourself, you won't let others collect it? ”

"Not really." Fang Youshun was also very angry when he talked about this: "Don't look at our team, we are still working to collect food, that is also our son-in-law and our team leader, uniting several good and good families to work hard, and there are still people who grind foreign workers and don't work, they don't want to think about it, they used to work hard, and they may not be able to eat all year round, and now they don't work any of them, and when the time comes, they will drink the northwest wind." ”

Grandma Fang sighed when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say.

"So, I just want to go back to my old job, get some cotton locust slivers, get some sorghum stalks in the autumn, make some baskets and mats to sell at the market when I'm okay in winter, and then quietly buy some food to store at home, in case I really don't have anything to eat one day, we won't be blind." Fang Youshun said his plan slowly.

"But ......, aren't the team not allowed to fire at home?" Grandma Fang was a little worried.

"I'm not afraid of not letting the fire go, I'm afraid that I won't have to eat when I fire it. Didn't we escape the disaster, and when people were hungry, they still cared about that? It's better to plan more than not to plan at all. Fang Youshun looked helpless.

Grandma Fang also nodded in agreement.

yes, you don't have anything to eat, what's the use of just not letting the fire open? It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared.

"Okay, let's go to sleep first, that's what I said, it's all a shadowless thing, maybe it won't get to that point." Fang Youshun said that he was just about to lie down, when he saw Shen Yusleeve looking at the two of them curiously with a pair of round eyes, obviously listening to them just now.

Fang Youshun chuckled in his heart, what he was going to do, but he must not let people know, and he couldn't help but hurriedly remedy and scare Shen Yusleeve: "Xiao Sleeve, what I said to your grandma tonight, you must not tell anyone, if you tell someone, grandpa will be arrested." ”

Shen Yusleeve's eyes widened when he heard this, and his two little hands clicked to cover his mouth: "Don't say it, don't tell anyone, don't say it to my parents." ”

Although she didn't understand the conversation between the two old men just now, she could also hear that her grandfather didn't want to go hungry, she naturally knew that being hungry was not a good thing, and she didn't want to be hungry, let alone let her grandfather be arrested.

"Good boy, just remember, go to sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow." Seeing her like this, Grandma Fang was afraid that she would be really scared, so she hurriedly coaxed her to sleep quickly.

Shen Yusleeve lay down obediently, but he complained a little in his heart about those who didn't work and wanted to eat.

Why don't they work? Why do you have to eat other people's food? Why should she be hungry too?

Fang Youshun wanted to save food, so he naturally got angry with Shen Jinggui, after all, he just came here this year, and he didn't know what the door was here, but Shen Jinggui had lived here for decades, almost dozens of miles around, and he knew exactly where there was a bird's nest, and he naturally knew everything about where to buy food.

Of course, it is impossible to store grain openly, the two still go to work during the day, and so on in the second half of the night, the two of them dig a soil pit in the idle warehouse of Fang Youshun's house, and after digging, the two put the rice cylinder that is now idle at home into the pit, and when the rice grain is bought, they will all put it into the rice cylinder, and then seal the mouth with oiled paper, and then sprinkle the lime left over from the house at the mouth of the rice cylinder, and then sprinkle the soil on the lime and step on it with their feet.

When everything was done, the barn was idle for anyone to see, and no one could have imagined that there was grain buried under the ground in the house.
