Chapter 22, Dead Wrap Dry

At this time, three or five children were there bragging and chatting about what to eat.

The man said he had eaten some candy before.

The man said he had eaten enough biscuits or canned food before.

It's just that one of them made him pay a little attention to it, and the other party was the son of the custodian Wang Shun.

"What you say is not delicious, but the steamed buns are delicious. Sweet. ”

That's what makes him weird.

Sweets, biscuits, canned food, before natural disasters, were already rare in the countryside.

It is now rarer in the city than in the countryside before.

Because of the lack of materials, the output of these things is even more scarce, and as soon as they come out, they are immediately robbed.

The problem is that steamed buns are not a grade at all compared to these things.

The only possibility is that it has been eaten recently.

Because what you can't eat, no matter how good it is, it's nothing, and only what you eat in your mouth is the real thing.

That's something to brag about.

Thinking of this, he passed by quietly and laughed: "Erdan, you haven't eaten steamed bread for a long time, you will brag and say that steamed bread is sweet." ”

Erdan is about twelve years old and is already sensible.

Hearing his words, he just snorted: "It's delicious, it's sweet, I don't believe it." ”

After that, nothing was said again.

When Zhao Chuanliang saw this scene, he knew that he should have confessed something at home.

This made him even more suspicious, it was definitely problematic.

It just made him wonder that judging from the time of the crime, it should not have been long that day, but then when he searched for food, he disappeared.

So where did the grain go, and how could it still be found?

Heaven or not?

Or is it buried in the ground?

It's impossible in the water, the only thing that's possible is to bury it in the ground, and it's in the village, because there are people working on the periphery.

It is unlikely that food will be transferred quickly.

He didn't bother with this, and walked in the direction of the team committee, he wanted to see if there were any clues.

In the midst of my thoughts, many people walked home from the fields.

Among them are their eldest sister Zhao Xue and sixth brother Zhao Mei.

"Hey, Ryoko, you're back again?"

The eldest sister looked at him and sighed curiously.

Zhao Chuanliang suddenly felt speechless, as if he had been saying it for a few days each time, and then came back soon.

Zhao Chuanliang bowed his head slightly: "Well, just came back, go back to cook?" ”

Zhao Xue was in a good mood and nodded with a smile.

Then he said hopefully: "Today's notice is over." Recalculation of grain requisition. ”

After speaking, he happily walked towards home.

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanliang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

Every year, the grain is levied in a certain proportion, for a certain period of three years, and it is set for three years without change.

At that time, there were two methods given above, one was to do it alive and the other was to do it dead.

The work package is to fluctuate according to the proportion of grain received every year.

And the dead lump sum is to set as much as you want, and if you have more, you will not levy it, and if you have less, you have to pay it all.

At the end of 58, everyone was full of enthusiasm and confidence.

So I chose to do it in a dead bag, and if I did more, I was a member, and if I did less, I would supply it.

And at that time, I basically chose this method.

It's over now.

After a long time, he almost forgot about it.

That's a good thing!

The drought will still be serious next year's summer harvest, but without the dead baggage, there will be a lot more grain.

Not to mention being full, at least not like this.

"Brother Liangzi, I can't eat enough now, do you still go to school?"

In the middle of his thoughts, one of the girls next to him asked him sweetly.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Chuanliang came back from his thoughts.

The other party's name is Zhang Aimei, and he is the same age, but he is not less greedy for his body, and the other party's wife comes over every now and then and talks to his mother.

Is it ugly?

No, it's not ugly at all, the body has grown, and the face is still very beautiful except for the sun that is a little tanned.

But eldest sister, no, eldest sister, how old am I!

Don't be a good young man!

Then he could only smile and nod his head: "Well, I'll go to school in a few days." ”

The entire production team is basically in the first or second grade, and they come back after knowing some basic words, both men and women.

He was the only one in the entire production team who was still in junior high school.

Why don't you go to school?

Come back and have monkeys with you?

Ay!

Hearing this, the other party just sighed softly.

When they came to the fork in the road, the crowd scattered.

When she returned home, Zhao Xue habitually opened it, took the basin, and was about to serve the corn cob grinding powder.

"Sister, look!"

Zhao Chuanliang hurriedly stopped her and opened the noodle jar, revealing a jar full of golden cornmeal.

Zhao Xue's apricot eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly grabbed a little with her hand and touched it.

Raised his head violently: "Stick noodles? ”

"Well, cornmeal, not corn ballast."

Corn ballast is a large grain milled in the countryside, and it tastes a little stuck.

But cornmeal is not at all, the cornmeal made of corn husk is removed, and the current corn is sticky corn, and the taste is not much different from flour, which is very delicate.

The premise is detailed enough.

Zhao Chuanliang said with a smile: "Make cornmeal nests at noon and eat a dry meal." ”

At this time, Zhao Mei next to her was also happily pulling the cornmeal, and put a little bit in her mouth to chew.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Then he raised his head and asked happily; "Brother, can we all eat like this in the future?"

Zhao Chuanliang rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Yes, I will eat dry every day in the future." But you can't say when you go out, you know what we're eating, right? ”

"Well, you know, it's corn cob ground noodles."

Zhao Mei blinked her eyes and said, this is what she has to explain every time she eats something delicious.

"Hey, smart!"

Zhao Chuanliang praised it and said to Zhao Xue: "Eldest sister eats this at noon." ”

Zhao Xue hesitated when she heard this, and shook her head: "No, it's gone if you just eat it like this, the winter is so long!" Potatoes in the fields don't yield much. Besides, if I dare to be the head of the nest, my mother won't beat me when she comes back! ”

After that, he closed the lid and prepared to cook.

"Hey, what are you afraid of, there will be no shortage of food in the future, eat, come back and say that I have reconciled with each other."

After speaking, he picked up the basin and scooped a small half basin directly.

It's five or six pounds.

After all, one person can have six or seven nest heads, which is almost, otherwise the old lady will faint when she comes back.

Seeing that the eldest sister was still hesitating, Zhao Chuanliang pushed her and showed her the sweet potatoes again.

"See? More than that, I'll ship some back in a few days. Rest assured. ”

Hearing his words, Zhao Xue looked at so many sweet potatoes again.

Hesitated.

finally licked his lips and agreed ruthlessly: "That's okay, you have to say that you want to get it, otherwise my mother will really beat me." ”

He won't be beaten at home.

None of the rest have been beaten.

Zhao Chuanliang agreed with a smile: "Well, don't worry." Let's just say I made it. Okay, you cook at home, I'll go out. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left the house.

Leave Xiaomei to help make a fire and cook.

When they came out, smoke began to rise from most of the houses.

came to the vicinity of Wang Shun's house, searched for it, didn't see any eyebrows, and returned to the vicinity of the village.

If it hadn't been moved yesterday, it would still be around here.

After walking around, I came to a well.

This is a discarded well, which dried up the year before last and is no longer used because of the terrain.

Just wait for the water to come later.

In a well?

It's possible!

Thinking of this, he walked over and prepared to lift the stone slab that covered it.

"Hey, Ryoko, what are you doing?"

As he spoke, a voice of confusion came from not far away.

Zhao Chuanliang looked up and saw Wang Gang, the eldest son of the Wang Shun family.

The other party walked over with a smile.

smiled at him and said, "Don't open this lid if it's okay, don't fall into it if the child plays, it's too dangerous." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanliang smiled directly: "Oh, this well has been dry for two years, I'll take a look to see if there is any water." ”

It is not easy to dig a well in the mountains.

This is also said in the past.

The other party is in such a hurry, is it really inside?

However, what the other party said is also right, the well is indeed dangerous, and it is not that there has never been a child who has fallen.

Wang Gang sighed lightly, glanced at it, turned his head and smiled: "Then open it and take a look, come, take a hand, the two of us will take a look." ”

These words made Zhao Chuanliang puzzled for a while.

Isn't it inside?

But having said that, he naturally lifted the slate away together.

The two of them stretched out their heads to look inside, and through the sunlight, they could still faintly see the ground below and some dead branches and leaves.

"There's no water! It is estimated that it will take some time. Cover it. ”

Wang Gang stretched out his head to look at it and motioned for him to help.

Zhao Chuanliang retracted his head and re-covered the slate with him.

After getting it done, the two clapped their hands.

Wang Gang straightened his straw hat and said with a smile: "Liangzi, when are you going to school?" It's over! ”

"Look at it again! Maybe it's the day after tomorrow. ”

"Hehe, that's okay, you play, I'll go home and get something."

After speaking, he left with a smile.

Zhao Chuanliang watched the other party leave, and wondered for a while, is this a coincidence?

Or is he preconceived notions?

There was no well, and he was ready to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, his eyes were fixed on the stone slabs that surrounded the well.

This is for people to step on.

Something was wrong with the gap in one of the bluestone slabs.

Although it is also stuffed with dry soil, it is obviously a little loose.

The main thing that attracted him was that the leaves that fell around here were not normal, they were all relatively curly leaves.

If it falls for a long time, it is basically adhered to it or spread on it.

Thinking of this, he was so happy that he wanted to try it.

But a thought flashed through him, and he turned around and left, pretending not to care.

If you find it yourself at this time, it is not necessarily a good thing.

The eldest brother was suspected of stealing grain before, and Wang Gang passed by just now and saw himself wandering here.

I can't tell if I have a hundred fucking mouths!

I will definitely think that he stole it, and the eldest brother happened to be caught running slowly.

The folks don't care about you unless you can explain it clearly.

There's no hurry, anyway, the other party won't move during the day, and if you want to move, you will do it at night.

And he's not sure if there's any food in it.

Gotta find someone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good news, good news!"

Just a few steps away, a voice came from the loudspeaker, and Zhao Chuanliang knew whose it was.

The captain of the production team, Gao Fuchang.
