Luo Wen, the father in the room, didn't just chat, the first thing was to divide peanuts, a small plate of peanuts, which is really not something you can reach for if you want to eat. If you want to eat, you can eat faster than your hand.

"Come on, come on, it's a rare gathering for us people today, and the Chinese New Year hasn't been so lively in the past two years. Children have melon seeds to eat, we eat these peanuts, you don't underestimate this peanut, this is different from the peanuts we used to fry ourselves, it was brought by Chengzi in the army, ordinary people can not eat such peanuts. ”

Luo Wen said with a smile, also showing off his son's ability. He directly divided twenty peanuts by himself, which was really counted one by one in front of Luo Cheng's uncle and aunt. And the others didn't feel anything wrong, and there was no so much that they could eat casually, and there was no shame in counting the points.

And the content of their chat, first of all, the problem of the harvest in the fields in the past two years, they are all spitting bitterness, the harvest is not good, and the above also asks for support to the north, and the public grain handed over has not decreased anything.

Then the one who talked about it was Luo Cheng, and this time we got together, it was originally in the name of Luo Cheng coming back from the army. This talked about his son, Rowan also satisfied his vanity, being an uncle and an uncle are all a boast, and because there is no culture, there are always a few words that come and go, and it is amazing, mainly because of the tone and look of the speaker, which is called a sincere and serious, but not a polite flattery, so that Rowan is more satisfied than anything else.

"National food stamps, you haven't seen them, this thing is amazing, it's worth more than money. It's a rarity in the city, and the people in the city eat commercial grain, you know, they have a ration every month. How much fine grain can be received every month. But that's also a dead rule, and this national food stamp is to buy as much as you want. Guess how much grain you can buy with fifty pounds of national food stamps. ”

After talking about Luo Cheng, it is natural to return to today's final theme - food. But speaking of this grain, what happened in the morning really shocked Rowan, to be honest, living so big, he was not liberated when he was young, and he didn't have this food stamp to buy grain.

After the implementation of grain stamps, in fact, it was difficult for farmers to obtain this, and the peasants who grew their own grain did not have food stamps, which was the status quo in this era. So to be honest, today's grain purchase is the first time Rowan went to the grain station to buy grain, in the past, when the family was short of food, he went to his relatives' house to borrow it, or the brigade took credit.

In the past, when the harvest was good, they could still send some money at the end of the year, and they could also buy grain with this money, and everyone had a standard, and the amount was not much, so they had to register with the brigade. This kind of grain that they can buy is called repurchase grain, that is, it is only available when the harvest is ready.

If the harvest is okay, everyone occasionally sends some money, and they also have to buy daily necessities, salt and oil, how can they buy back grain. But now that the harvest is not good, there is no talk of buying back grain, and the peasants' families cannot keep the money. Those who have money also go to the pigeon market to buy some high-priced grain.

The policy of buying back grain has been implemented, but few farmers really use it. Even if you have a standard for this thing, you still have to apply for it, and the farmers at the end of this year are illiterate and have to apply in advance, and the result is that even if the village chief or the people in the brigade say it, no one remembers, and they don't know the operation when they hear about the repurchased grain.

But you say that this grain repurchase is really useless, then you are wrong, even when the harvest is good, rural people can eat some dry grain at most, and there is no situation where you can let go of your belly to eat.

If the harvest is good in the future, take Luo Cheng as an example, if he has cash, he can ask his family to go to the brigade to apply for the repurchase of grain, although it is not much, but it is also grain that does not require food stamps.

Especially Luo Cheng really participated in the work in the future, the grain harvest is good, and he can buy back grain twice a year in the south. It is impossible for people in this city to eat fine grain every day, but there is a repurchase of grain, and others are reluctant to eat it, so Luo Cheng is willing to do it.

Father Rowan was selling Guanzi, and the others also cooperated, mainly because they really wanted to know how much grain could be exchanged for fifty catties of national food stamps. They all know that food stamps are very important, but they are too difficult to obtain, there are breakfast shops in the town, you can't buy them if you have money or no tickets, and you can boast about having breakfast at the breakfast shop. Not to mention the fifty pounds of food stamps.

One hundred and fifty catties of sweet potatoes, one hundred catties of stick noodles, and the rest also bought some other types of grain.

The stick noodles have been poured into the jar, and Luo Cheng's family has a rice jar, which was handed down by his grandfather when he was alive, don't look at the old, the thick one is very practical. Even if it hasn't been filled in the past two years, it is impossible for the brigade to distribute grain, and it is impossible to simply distribute one kind of food.

So even when the grain was distributed, Luo Cheng's rice tank was never full. You can't mix all kinds of grains.

The sweet potatoes are placed in the firewood room where Luo Bing lives, even if they wait for more than half of them to be distributed to their uncles and aunts, the sweet potatoes are also going to be put there, and Luo Bing will be there at night, safe. The firewood room is not afraid of rats or anything. Of course, it doesn't mean that he is not afraid of rats, if there are really mice, Luo Bing will be excited, maybe he can open a meat dish once.

Hearing the numbers that Rowan said, although sweet potatoes are not hungry and have a lot of water, they are also life-saving food at this time. There are a total of two hundred and fifty catties, and depending on what the eldest brother means, he will give them a lot of it and help them.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, when Luo Bing called them to come, they all asked them to bring cloth bags, so this still needs to be said directly. It's just a cloth bag, how big it is, how much it can hold, it seems that the eldest brother is just a little bit of a family.

"When I bought it, I didn't know I could buy so much, and when we went today, we only brought a few small cloth bags. After dinner, I will discuss it with your sister-in-law, and you will bring ten catties of stick noodles and twenty catties of sweet potatoes. Then your life will be better, and it is all thanks to your nephews and nephews, and you must remember that. ”

"Big brother, what you said, Luo Chengke's nephew and nephew, even if he doesn't do this today, if he finds us for something, it's not a matter of words."

Hearing Luo Wen's words, Uncle Luo Wu responded, this is also the truth, the kinship of these years is more important than that of later generations. Human nature is also simple, if your nephew has difficulty asking for help, it's one thing to not be able to help, and if you have the ability to help but not help, you will really be poked in the back by someone.

To put it cruelly, in this famine year, it is this simplicity that has killed many people. Before the famine, there were always some people who were a little richer and had a little bit of food. But because of the help, others did not help, and their own family fell into a situation where there was not enough food to eat.

In the end, it is very likely that you will not help your relatives, and your family will barely be able to hold on. And because he helped his relatives, but after his relatives finished eating, the famine continued, and then they all starved to death.

(The repurchase of grain has always existed, and it can be regarded as a policy adjustment, so it is impossible for the peasants to starve to death if they pay the public grain and keep the grain for themselves, and there are no food stamps.) But the reality is that what is really needed is not bought by most people, and it is convenient for some people who take advantage of loopholes. The most important thing is that the peasants are poor in this era, and the peasants cannot save money. ）
