In the weather where the temperature is a little cooler now, it is very enjoyable to be able to eat a bowl of dumplings at noon.

Most of the cabbage is added with meat, and there are three catties of light filling, two and a half catties of flour. An average person can eat eight taels, because it is hand-rolled, and the size is larger than the quick-frozen in later generations, and counting the packs, one person can eat twenty. These eight taels of dumplings have been put into the water, and some soy sauce is put in the bowl to hold some dumpling soup, how can a person have a pound of things to eat.

The briquettes burned by the coal stove were first boiled in a kettle, and then a pot of water was also boiled in a small pot. When Luo Cheng came back, the dumplings were put into the pot, and the dumplings were wrapped.

The sound of the engine on the side of the three wheels was not small, and the poetry in the yard guessed that the eldest brother was coming back when he heard the sound, and ran to the gate of the yard to see, and sure enough, the eldest brother was back. immediately turned around and shouted to the people in the courtyard that the eldest brother was back, and Luo Cheng entered the courtyard to understand that everyone was waiting for him to come back before putting the dumplings into the pot.

The pot is small, only about 30 can be put into a pot, and it is not easy to cook if there are too many. The dishes and chopsticks are all placed on the table, and seven people have to cook four or five pots, but the dumplings are cooked quickly, and it won't take long to cook them while eating. If you don't have enough water, you can heat the boiling water in the kettle.

The first pot was cooked quickly, first ten bowls, the dumplings were not small, even if it was a big bowl, ten dumplings were almost flush with the bowl.

After it was loaded, no one ate it, and they all ate it together when the second pot was boiled and everyone had almost a bowl. The same goes for the second pot, hot water is in the pot, and the leather bag can be cooked in about five minutes, and even if the dumpling skin is thicker, seven or eight minutes is enough.

The second pot of dumplings was served, and when it was down, it was counted, and it was exactly ten in a bowl. The third pot is put into the pot first, and everyone can start eating when it is cooking.

"Thank you Comrade Luo Cheng for your hospitality, let's eat."

"Comrade Dai Qianqian, you don't have to be polite."

Holding the bowl, when he was about to eat directly, Luo Cheng was almost amused by Dai Qianqian's serious words. However, in this era, it is true that there will be comrades among objects, and Luo Cheng also responded with a smile.

Luo Cheng's response was insignificant to the three literary soldiers who came with the squad leader. Anyway, the squad leader didn't speak, they didn't dare to eat, and as soon as they heard that they were eating, they immediately picked up the bowl and picked one up with chopsticks, blew it in their mouths and stuffed it into their mouths. When Luo Cheng returned to the squad leader's words, the dumplings were all in the stomach.

It's delicious, it's better than the dumplings you ate in the army during the Chinese New Year, and the wrappers are as sweet as corn.

The dumplings in the pot were not yet cooked, and a few people finished eating, and Dai Xiqian was no exception. Compared with the people in the army, the speed of eating, the average person really can't compare.

They are happily eating dumplings here, and most people in Longyang Town are worried.

Because of the drought in summer, the people here are thirsty and do not die, and everyone barely has the water to eat, but there is a real shortage of water in the field. Irrigation is carried by going to distant rivers or reservoirs to fetch water, and even if it survives, the rice is still in a state of constant water shortage, and the poor harvest is still good.

In fact, everyone has long known that this season's rice harvest is not good, and it is really a bumper harvest, where will it be like selling a daughter to marry a daughter. Even if there is no food at home now, it is good to boil it.

The harvest is poor, the public grain is delivered, and then the remaining grain is counted. It is calculated according to all the work points of everyone in a year. For example, the entire brigade has 10,000 pounds of work, and if the remaining harvest is 10,000 catties of grain, then one cents is worth the price of one pound of grain. But if there are only 1,000 catties of grain, one cent of work is worth the price of one tael of grain.

After figuring out how much work you do, you can choose whether you want food or money. But this year, there is no need to ask, they will choose to ask for food. But even so, it can't be divided, and this winter, there are many old people who have to go to immortals. After the food was distributed, everyone did not have a little joy, and some old people with poor bones had even begun to prepare for a hunger strike.

And even if the old man with a strong body and bones, he has only two choices, either he can go, or he can still move, put on a torn cotton jacket, take a broken bowl, and beg. If the bowl is not broken, a corner must be deliberately broken. When you go to beg, let the giver understand that my bowl is broken, and the bowl is thin, and it is only so high, and I will not ask for you more.

If you take a good bowl and beg, even if a kind-hearted person sees you pitiful and wants to give you a thin mouthful, how much will it be for you? If you give too much, people are not willing to give it, and if you give too little, you don't want to go, so you simply don't care about you. The mouth of the bowl is broken, and the thin one can't be filled, and the kind-hearted person thinks that it is a matter of taking one sip less, so he gives it.

The Luo family is also worried, they are not worried about whether their family can survive. The two girls followed the eldest brother to the city, and when they were busy farming, they also earned a lot of work. This one in and one out, you can save a lot. And the money left by Luo Cheng, except for ten yuan given by Luo Bing on the day of his wedding, the others only moved a little.

Therefore, the Luo family will not survive today, and take a step back and say, the eldest son is in the city, how can there be a way back. But I still have to worry, my father Rowan has younger brothers and sisters, and the eldest brother is the father, although the younger brothers and sisters are all parents, and they can even be grandparents in a few years.

With such a harvest, it is really difficult to see death without saving it. Of course, this is only the beginning of the rations, and it is not yet that time. When it came, I basically couldn't hold it anymore.

The Luo family sat on the dinner table and drank thin vegetable porridge, saying that the vegetable porridge was just a few pieces of vegetables, and the porridge was also very clear. Wowotou didn't get it today, and the family actually ate okay recently, but when the grain was divided, I just wanted to save a province. Daughter-in-law Qin Ru also knows the situation, and in the past few days since she got married, her in-laws have been very good to her.

Qin Ru is also worried today, although she is married, her mother's family will be Hakka in the future, and she will be a guest when she goes back. But how can there be children who really don't worry about their families, the Luo family's side of the brigade is not good, Qinlingkou can be easy to pull, all the same, some villages may have less poor land.

To eat, the door is closed, but it is only a cover. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and an old man wearing a torn cotton jacket and holding a broken bowl in his hand appeared in front of everyone.

"Big~Uncle."

"Brother."

It was his father Luo Wen who called his uncle, and Luo Cheng's grandmother who called his brother.

"Yan, brother is leaving, I came to see you on the way."

Luo Cheng's grandmother's brother, that is, the eldest uncle, Liu Jiagou, and her grandmother is also surnamed Liu. Liujiagou is at the bottom of a ravine, and the fields in the village are not very good, and there has been drought for several years, which is really unbearable. I know that today's harvest is not good, but there are not many old people who really want to die, who doesn't want to live. Sometimes they deceive themselves, thinking that if there is enough food, the harvest will be better next year.

But this time the commune has distributed the grain, and it is time to face the reality.

The eldest uncle is going to beg, and in fact, he understands that when he goes out to beggar, as soon as he gets on the road, he may really be on the road. When I came to Luo's house, I said goodbye to my sister, and I didn't worry about it.

Grandma Luo Cheng looked at her brother, tears in her eyes. If it weren't for the eldest grandson coming back this year and changing the situation at home, she might also be on the road.

Rowan didn't know how to face his uncle, he was still thinking about how much food his younger brothers and sisters had and how long it would last. Mother's eldest brother actually came to say goodbye, and this farewell is very likely to be life and death.

sighed again and again, this god really doesn't let people live. In the end, the Luo family didn't let the eldest uncle go, and it was only three months, what could one more old man do.

The eldest uncle stayed and lived in Luo Bing's former firewood house, and he couldn't tell his family over there about this. Don't finally take it in here, the children on the eldest uncle's side also came to the door to ask Grandma Luo Cheng for relief. The eldest uncle's children are also equivalent to grandma's own nephews and nieces, and this relationship cannot be broken without one or two generations.

Luo Cheng's grandmother also knew that taking in her brother would actually be a drag on his eldest grandson in the end. Without his eldest grandson Luo Cheng, let alone his eldest brother, it will be difficult for him to pass this year. If the Luo family can't hold on, how can they not go to the city to find their eldest grandson Luo Cheng.

Compound room.

Today's dumplings, everyone was very happy, and the pot of soup that cooked the dumplings was all drunk in the end. The dumplings are put in and cooked, but there is flour, how can the water of the dumplings be poured, so many people, less than one bowl per person, it will be gone, and you don't want to drink more.

After eating the dumplings, Zhao Qian and the others rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. They knew that they would not be able to eat it with the ration they had paid at that time. This is a matter of washing, so there is no need to trouble Luo Cheng and his sister.

Dai Qianqian was a little interested in the side three wheels he drove, which was obviously different from the one in the army, and she had also driven this in the army. But not in the art troupe, but in her father's army. The car was also learned from my father's troops.

The opportunity to be alone came on his own initiative, Luo Cheng asked the two sisters to make their own clothes, and he took Dai Xiqian to see the modified side three wheels. Although the three-wheeled driving over there has risen, the operation method is the same as that of a car except for the steering wheel. But so what, the others don't even have a bicycle, but he has his own real car.

Not to mention that this is the property of the public in the factory, Luo Cheng did not deny this, can't he test the performance of the three wheels after the modification.
