Chapter 15 Those who live far come early

The two flatbreads that Luo Bing ate were really not eaten in vain, one hundred and fifty pounds of sweet potatoes, and he just resisted and left. And his father, Luo Wen, also carried a hundred pounds of stick noodles on his shoulder, and the smile on his face couldn't contain it, so he bought food and went home.

Luo Cheng was not idle, several cloth bags were packed with grain separately, the amount was not much, but it couldn't be mixed. Rice, flour, millet, soybeans and the like.

And these grains also cost a lot of money. Rice and flour are six cents a pound a dime, and it costs a piece of six. Sweet potatoes are cheap, a penny a catty, a hundred and fifty catties, and a piece of five. Coarse grain stick noodles cost five cents a pound, which cost five yuan, and then soybeans and millet, which are a few points more expensive than stick noodles, and also cost more than a piece.

In total, it cost nearly ten yuan, which is a lot of money in rural areas. Some people in the city have jobs, and most of them are paid twenty or thirty yuan a month.

This means that there are food stamps, and if there are no food stamps, these grains will cost dozens of dollars to buy.

On the way home, the three of them also walked together, and they also looked around on the way, and when they went out before, they didn't expect to be able to buy such a lot of food. thinks that the three of them are safe enough, and now the three of them have nearly 300 catties of food on them.

Luo Wen and Luo Bing were afraid that they would meet a few hungry people on the road who would not want to grab food, Luo Cheng was wearing a veteran uniform of the army, and he had little food in his hands, which was also deliberately done by his father Luo Cheng. I'm afraid that one or two people who can't survive will rush out on the real road, at least Luo Cheng can spare his hands to deal with it.

A veteran, in the eyes of his father Rowan and younger brother Luo Bing, should be able to deal with a few people by himself.

If Luo Cheng knew his father's thoughts, he would definitely laugh and cry. The people of this world look weak, skinny, and thin. But just now at the grain station, he saw a female worker, like a man, with a bag of more than 100 catties of grain. He felt that if he fought against each other, he would not even be able to beat a woman.

And the farmer in the countryside, thin to thin, there is no one who is weak. really started fighting, Luo Cheng also felt that he couldn't beat any of them. At most~~ Luo Cheng felt that he could beat the two sisters in the family.

The grain is safely home, plus sweet potatoes, there are more than 280 catties. 100 catties of stick noodles, 150 catties of sweet potatoes. At least take out a lot to help your relatives.

As for the rice and flour that Luo Cheng wanted, there were also some millet and soybeans, a total of thirty catties. Since there are so many stick noodles and sweet potatoes, it is enough to have this to help out. The flour can be kept for the New Year's dumplings to eat, and the millet was bought by Luo Cheng to make porridge for his grandmother. As for rice, when he was hungry, Luo Cheng wanted to eat some.

My mother and grandmother didn't sit in the house because they knew that they were going to buy food, so they kept carrying stools and sitting at the door. Seeing the three of them coming back with big bags, they were all taken aback, of course, the small bags in Luo Cheng's hands didn't count.

Luo Bing and his father Luo Wen both sweated a lot, but after returning home, they still talked and laughed, and they didn't seem to be very tired. And Luo Cheng only came back with thirty catties of things, but in fact, he felt a little unbearable. The grain station is not close to home, and it takes nearly 20 minutes to walk fast.

And let the young people of later generations, carrying thirty pounds of things, walk for twenty minutes without stopping. People who don't usually exercise are really unbearable.

For Luo Bing and his father Luo Wen, he was convinced, more than 100 catties, and he carried it back like this. When I came back, I wasn't necessarily tired.

How to divide such a large amount of food disrupted the parents' plans. Originally, I thought that the number of food stamps would probably be able to buy as many catties of grain. I didn't expect that the national food stamps would be so useful, and I could redeem them as much as I wanted.

If you have 100 catties of coarse grain stick noodles, the two uncles and aunts can bring 10 catties back. My mother is also a little selfish, people's hearts are long, and she wants to help her parents. I plan to bring twenty catties back, and I will bring a little sweet potatoes.

As for the brothers and sisters of the mother Wang Ling, that is, Luo Cheng's uncle and aunt and the like. That mom can't be the same as here, everyone is helping.

My mother was thinking that when the time came, the food would be sent to her parents, in fact, it would be sent to Luo Cheng's uncle's house. Then the food sent was for her parents, and no matter how her parents distributed and helped others, she couldn't care so much.

It's been calculated here, and the sweet potatoes also let their family bring twenty catties back. My mother brought some more to my mother's house, and there was not much food left at home. And it can't be distributed so evenly, he still has an old lady to support on his father's side.

The food has been brought back, and when those relatives come over, there will be one or twenty people, and this lunch will have to be busy.

The sweet potatoes should be washed and cut into cubes, the stick noodles should be made into a little nest, and some millet and rice should be made to cook a large pot of porridge. Sweet potato porridge porridge, cooked a little thicker, in this year, it is very good. That's how much food is used.

There are no clocks, and most people eat two meals at home, and even some women and children may eat one meal a day. Therefore, the general meal time will be earlier than the lunch in later generations, and there is no specific time, it all depends on the sky and feelings.

But there is one thing, like in later generations, the closer you live, the later you go, and the farther you are, the earliest you come.

If you live far away, you are afraid of delay, so you will usually have more time in advance. And those who live close feel that there are not a few steps in total, not in a hurry, but rubbing.

My sister-in-law was the first to come, and she also brought some radish seedlings, just to cook porridge and put it inside.

For Luo Cheng, the sister-in-law was completely conjured out of thin air at this time, and she didn't have any impression. After the sister-in-law came, it was Luo Bing and the two sisters who were calling the sister-in-law, and Luo Cheng followed suit.

And the sister-in-law has a completely different attitude towards Luo Cheng, she is very enthusiastic, Luo Cheng is the only one in the Luo family who has studied in high school and served as a soldier. used to say that he had a future, and he would definitely soar. But then after graduating from high school, I didn't know how to go to the army, and I didn't come back for a few years, so naturally I didn't talk about him anymore.

But now that Luo Cheng is back, for my sister-in-law, that is the person she can support her in her mother's house. With such a nephew, he will have the confidence to speak on his mother-in-law's side.

"Chengzi, you are back, your parents and we have been thinking about you for the past few years. You look so good in your soldiers' clothes, and you look better than some girls. ”

The sister-in-law Luo Hong took the child directly to Luo Cheng's side and praised him, and the little uncle naturally went to chat with Luo Cheng's father.

She is very enthusiastic about her sister-in-law's conversation, but because Luo Cheng is 'unfamiliar', she really doesn't know how to talk. Fortunately, the sister-in-law brought the child here, and Luo Cheng directly changed the topic.

"Sister-in-law, you wait first, I'll go to the house and get something."

After dealing with his sister-in-law, Luo Chengcheng went back to the room, there was no one else in the room, he didn't need to pretend to touch the bag, and a bag of melon seeds appeared in his hand directly.

What can be eaten in the system is this bag of melon seeds, and there is a basin that can't be eaten, and the flashlight is also taken out and put in the bag, and the things taken out of the system can't be put back.
