Peanuts, which are a non-staple food, are a rare thing in the city. Now the land is mainly for growing grain, and there is not enough food to eat, how can it be possible to grow such things. In the past, when the harvest was good in some villages, everyone would get a piece of land together and plant a little, and then the harvest would be harvested, and each household would get a little.

Now that there is a shortage of water, food is a priority, and many other things are not planted.

Something that is rare to eat during the New Year, although Luo Cheng gave it to them to eat, but now that Luo Cheng is asleep, they don't dare. If you really eat it, if your parents know about it, they will scold it to death.

"Sister, or give me one, this bag has been opened. I don't eat much, so I'll taste one. ”

"Okay, we'll eat one by one, and when the shell is hidden, don't let people see it."

Luo Xiaoyu said in response, she was only fifteen years old after all, although she was very sensible, she knew that anything she had eaten in these years was precious. But it's also normal to be greedy, saying that if you only eat one peanut, you will only eat one, just to taste the taste.

Peanuts are very plump, and most of them are not small in size if they can be sold in bags. Luo Xiaoyu carefully picked out two peanuts and gave Luo Shishi one.

The two looked at the peanuts in their hands, and they were a little reluctant to eat them, but in the end, Luo Shishi couldn't help it, put it in her mouth first, and then her eyes lit up obviously.

Peanuts, generally in this era, are simply fried in the shell, and when they are fried, everyone thinks they are very fragrant. The peanuts that Luo Cheng took out were spiced and a little salty, not to mention the taste of peanuts, there was a faint layer of five spices on the surface of the peanut shell.

Luo Shishi put the peanuts in her mouth, and before she could bite into them, she tasted a fragrance. The mouth involuntarily continues to secrete saliva, and the surface of the peanut shell continues to suck this beautiful taste.

Luo Xiaoyu thought that her sister was reluctant to eat it, and a peanut was still in her mouth like sugar. But when I put my own peanuts in my mouth, I understood why my sister was like that. The peanuts have a very fragrant smell on the surface, which seems to be completely different from the taste in my memory.

It's been a long time, and they can't taste it at all, so the two of them are willing to bite it. After biting into it, a stronger aroma erupted, and the two of them didn't believe that they were just eating a peanut.

When people are hungry, they actually eat everything sweetly. Even a white-flour steamed bun with no taste may be able to give people in this famine era the illusion of sweetness. And spiced peanuts are considered a delicacy in later generations, not to mention the era when eating a nest head feels fragrant in this era.

The two sisters didn't sit on the edge of Luo Cheng's bed all the time, but went into the partition room and chatted. And the content of the chat is naturally related to Luo Cheng, his father Luo Wen is the backbone of the family, but although his father has a text in his name, he is actually uneducated, and he doesn't know a few big characters. In the countryside, they can only dig in the fields, but in the current successive drought years, no matter how capable the peasants are, they will not be able to grow more grain.

The father is the backbone of the family, but the family follows the father, and there is no way to change the current situation. And the eldest brother Luo Cheng came back from the army, he is a literate person, and he has traveled far away, which means that he still has knowledge. In the Luo family, it can be said that as soon as Luo Cheng appeared, the backbone of the family was transferred.

"Xiaoyu~~, Shishi, come out quickly, my brother has brought you something to eat."

Just when Luo Xiaoyu and Luo Shishi were chatting, there was a shout outside the house, and they knew that Luo Bing was coming back when they heard the voice. Luo Bing is the second eldest in the family, 18 years old this year, and has read books for three years, but it is not material for studying. He can write a little word, and when he is busy with the farm, he also follows the brigade to work in the fields. But now that it's autumn, the harvest is failing again.

In his free time, Luo Bing likes to run up the mountain, and there is a hill not far from Longyang Town. Nowadays, many people wander around without food, digging grass roots, tree bark and so on. Anyway, as long as it can be put in the mouth, it will not be let go.

In the past, you could see rabbits and the like on the mountains, but now when you see a mouse, it's all amazing meat. In these days, if there is rat meat to eat, no one will dislike it.

Luo Xiaoyu and Shishi went out of the room and saw that Luo Bing had a lot of things similar to grassroots in his hands, but they were relatively stout. They had all eaten it, and they couldn't name it, but if they cooked it, they chewed it slowly, and they could taste a starchy taste.

But the rhizome of this thing is a bit hard, similar to sugar cane, and can only be kept in the mouth and chewed. Chew out the starch inside and eat it, and this thing still has a bitter taste, although the bitterness is not strong, but keep chewing, and the tongue will be bitter if you eat too much.

If a person is hungry and has a bitter tongue, this thing can really kill someone.

If it were usual, Luo Xiaoyu and Shishi would definitely take it to clean it immediately, and then cook it and eat it. But now there is a residue of the five flavors of peanuts in the mouth, although the stomach is very hungry, but I don't want to eat this bitter thing, at least I have to wait for the residual taste in the mouth to disappear, and then eat this.

And the eldest brother still has steamed buns in his bag, Luo Shishi is worried about it, even if she can't get one, she can always taste a little. The steamed bun belongs to her eldest brother, that's the eldest brother, it's impossible for the eldest brother not to give her a taste.

"Bingzi, big brother is back."

"Big brother is back? What big brother? ”

"Who else can we have but a big brother. Big brother has come back from the army, and now he is sleeping in the room, so don't make any noise about big brother. ”

Of course, Luo Bing knew that his eldest brother Luo Cheng had become, hadn't he seen him for a few years, and he came back suddenly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Big brother is back, really, the big brother has eaten, there is no food at home."

Luo Bing is also like a rural guy, relatively simple, and when he heard his eldest brother come back, the first thing that came to mind was the problem of eating. The main reason is that everyone puts food in the first place these days, and the grassroots in Luo Bing's hands can't take such a thing for the eldest brother to eat.

"The eldest brother is a cultural person and a former soldier, you think it's the same as us. If other people don't eat it, big brother will definitely be able to get it, so don't worry about it. Shishi, you go to the room and take a peanut for the soldier, so that he can also taste the peanuts that can only be eaten in the army. ”

Luo Xiaoyu said arrogantly, although Luo Bing is his second brother, it is wrong to question the eldest brother. And there's another point.,Between several brothers and sisters.,Usually rarely call brother, sister or sister.,Generally when I'm outside, I will say who my brother is.,My sister and my sister are who's.,Usually at home.,It's basically called a nickname.。

However, Luo Cheng is the boss, and he is the most promising, and he is respected at home, so at home, everyone else calls him brother or big brother. Don't dare to call Luo an adult like his parents.

Giving Luo Bing peanuts was discussed between Luo Xiaoyu and Shishi, so that it can be regarded as equality between brothers and sisters. And don't usually look at Luo Bing, who likes to dump around, but there are good things that really worry about the two of them.

Then~~, a peanut shocked Luo Bing, and there were such delicious peanuts. After eating peanuts, look at the grass root in your hand that will be bitter if you eat it, no matter how hungry you are, you won't eat such a grass root today, don't spoil the fragrance in your mouth.

Luo Cheng was resting, and no one dared to deliberately disturb him. Even if his father Rowan came back from the brigade later, and learned that his eldest son was back, he had a rare smile on his face, he was so difficult in the past two years, he died of worry about a bite of food every day, and he didn't smile much.

And I heard that Luo Cheng has food stamps, and he also has the discharge fee issued by the veterans, so he can buy dozens of catties of grain. The face was really full of joy from the inside out, and the burden in his heart was half relieved at once because the eldest son came back.

Tomorrow I go to the grain station to buy grain, and I usually go to the grain station to buy grain in the town, and there are also supply and marketing cooperatives, but people in the township prefer to go to the grain station to buy it. Farmers, who have to deal with grain stations every year, are more familiar with it.

Because of his arrival here, the Luo Cheng family is obviously happy. On the other hand, because of the half of the instant noodles and seasoning packets sent by Luo Cheng, the Qin Lan family was also worried.
