In this day and age, in the absence of disasters, it is difficult for many people to eat enough. Low food production and a lot of wasteland are difficult problems to solve in a short period of time.

And the era that Luo Cheng is facing now is that under the condition of low production capacity, most cities have experienced continuous droughts. In the south, two crops of grain can be grown in a year, while in the north there is only one season, and in the event of a drought, the ability to resist cannot be compared with that of the south.

Luo Cheng still has seven steamed buns in his bag, and when he was discharged from the army, each veteran was given ten, and the army steamed it himself, which was relatively large. Yesterday it was relatively soft, Luo Cheng barely ate three, but today it is hard, and this steamed bun has no taste. Luo Cheng also plans to go home to improve his food.

But what Luo Cheng didn't expect was that the white-flour steamed buns he didn't like, and the two younger sisters in the family were still waiting to improve the food. They secretly calculated, the eldest brother Luo Cheng is back, the family is equal to seven people, seven steamed buns, one big steamed bun per person, it is beautiful to think about.

However, although the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, it is nothing to let Luo Shishi and Luo Xiaoyu do housework or even work in the field. But people are sophisticated, and they still have to be sharpened.

Seven white-flour steamed buns, how could it be just one person and one by one. Luo Cheng's father, Luo Wen, has two brothers and two younger sisters. That is, Luo Cheng's uncle and aunt, in these years, to be honest, they can't manage it for so long, they can really live one day at a time, and help each other.

The two aunts are married nearby, and if they can go to the city these years, they will be far away. In the countryside, the best way out for a girl is to marry in the city, and generally marry in a nearby village.

So the general situation is that the uncle and aunt's family have steamed buns for each person, which can be regarded as improving the food.

And the premise of this is that Luo Cheng agrees, Luo Cheng is educated, has been a soldier, and is still the eldest son in the family. At home, although Luo Wen has always been in charge, before Luo Cheng went to become a soldier, Luo Cheng generally expressed any opinions, and the family would try to comply with them.

Luo Cheng is the eldest son, and now he has returned from the army, and this family will be his head sooner or later. And this steamed bun is also Luo Cheng's, Luo Cheng's mother just thinks like that, but she doesn't dare to arrange it directly without asking Luo Chengcheng.

And Luo Cheng finally sent Qin Lan back. In this era, he relies on his legs to go out, and he is really a little unbearable.

Nghe An is also just a small city in the south. In big cities, it's great to have a bicycle in your family. Not to mention small cities, Longyang Town is also a town, which is why some units in the town have bicycles. There are very few personal ones, and there are no bicycles for sale in the town, so you have to buy them to go to the city.

"Brother, when you come back, the quilt is laid for you, if you want to rest, you can go into the room to rest. But Mom said that if you come back, go to her house. ”

As soon as Luo Cheng came back, he was discovered by his sister Luo Xiaoyu, and Luo Shishi was also showing his merits, saying that his backpack and luggage were also put away for him.

To be honest, Luo Cheng really wanted to lie down immediately. Yesterday's train ride has not been smooth, not to mention the speed of the train in this era, not to mention, it is still a little shaky. So I didn't sleep well on the train, and Luo Cheng, who walked so many ways today, didn't have much physical fitness, really felt a little unbearable.

But my mother said that she wanted to find him if she had something to do, and she didn't care about this time if she wanted to rest.

In the earthen tile house, the windows are made of window paper, and even in broad daylight, the room is a little dark. The size of the room is less than 30 square meters, not only has a living room for eating, but also has two wooden planks and two beds for sleeping, one for parents and one for grandmother.

There is a night pot in the room, and the large one has to go to the toilet not far outside, and the small one generally uses the night pot and urine bucket to solve the problem. Without food, it takes several days for people to get a tuba once in this year. I really can't help it at night, carry a kerosene lamp to the toilet outside, and the flashlight is not available in every household now.

"Mom, grandma, I'm back."

"Good grandson, come and sit next to the milk."

The room has a table and benches, there are only two benches, and there are two ordinary stools. However, in this case, if there are guests, or if everyone is present, there may not be enough stools to sit on.

In some places, it is a bad custom that women are not allowed to eat at the table, but in Ngee An, there is none, and they usually eat together.

But in those days, when guests came to eat, women and children would not be served. This is not a custom, one may be that there are not enough stools, and the other is that children have no scruples about eating, don't finally get something to entertain guests, and the child will be eaten in a few clicks.

"Mom, tell me something."

Luo Cheng didn't have any barriers to his grandmother, and sat directly next to her, much closer than the two sisters who suddenly appeared.

"Hey~~, it's the matter of the steamed buns in your bag, when your sister helped you tidy it up just now, I saw it 'unintentionally'~~~."

Mother Wang Ling sighed first, and some words seemed to have to sigh before she could say them. Then it was Wen Luocheng's steamed bun that he planned to deal with, and also talked about how the two uncles and aunts had taken care of each other in the past few years.

Although there are not many steamed buns, they are made of fine grains, and a steamed bun can be boiled in water, add some wild vegetables or something, and you can also make a pot of relatively thin batter soup. Although it can't help those uncles and aunts, it also means the same. and also told them that Luo Cheng had returned from the army, and it was impossible to entertain them at the banquet, at least sending a steamed bun over was also a courtesy.

"Isn't it just a few steamed buns?"

Luo Cheng thought in his heart, feeling a little indescribable. He didn't want to eat steamed buns yet, but he didn't expect to be so valued by his family. And a few steamed buns are like this, what kind of life does the family usually live.

Another point is that not only is he no longer an only child, but his father's own siblings have also changed. Father Luo Wen is not an only child, he has a younger brother and a younger sister, the younger brother is Luo Cheng's uncle is called Luo Wu, and Luo Cheng's aunt is called Luo Juan.

But now I know from my mother that my father in this world has one more brother and sister. As for what it was called, my mother didn't say it, and Luo Cheng didn't want to ask for names, and the province said that it was not clear what his uncle and aunt were called. Anyway, sooner or later, the name will be known, Luo Chengcheng is afraid that he will not recognize anyone when he sees it.

"Mom, I think it's better to forget it, when I was discharged from the army, the army also gave me discharge pay and some food stamps and the like. I don't have any food at home, or I'll go buy some food tomorrow and call my uncle and aunt to get together, I haven't seen them for a few years, and I'll have to see them when I come back. ”

Luo Cheng felt that it was too shabby to send a steamed bun in the past, but a steamed bun was so cherished, and when he thought about it, there should be no food at home. When the troops came out, each veteran was given a lot of national food stamps. After all, if you don't go to work immediately after leaving the army, you can at least buy some food. In addition, when you go to a restaurant to eat now, you need food stamps, and it is useless to pay for military discharge.
