Chapter 16 wants to go to the black market to exchange food stamps
After working in the space for a long time, Lingbao felt very sleepy, put two bags of flour on the side of the bed, lay on the bed with a soft little body, and fell asleep deeply.
At this time, Shen Su'e was worried about the food in the next few days.
All the sweet potatoes at home have been eaten, and only the wild dog meat frozen in the snow is left.
Although dog meat is good, it can't be eaten every day, and I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I ate dog meat for a few days in a row, except for Lingbao, the family began to have diarrhea.
"Why don't I trade dog meat and people for some food?" Jiang Qingshan said.
He didn't use crutches today, and his walking posture was almost the same as that of a normal person.
"Hey! It's the end of the year, who in the village still has food for it? Everyone is looking forward to Captain Li's dividends, grain and pork. ”
The grains in Shen's mouth refer to sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts and corn on the cob, not rice and flour.
Wheat is grown in Baihe Village, and every year after the captain pays the public grain, the white flour sent to her family is only about 400 catties.
When there was no separation before, the whole family had more than ten mouths to eat, and if you ate noodles every day, no matter how much you saved it, it would be enough to eat for two or three months.
Because there is not enough to eat, no one is willing to eat.
Like everyone else in the village, as soon as the Jiang family got the flour, they went to the grain store to change the grains, and more than 400 catties of flour were exchanged for more than 1,000 catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Sihaizi heard the conversation between his father and mother, remembered the matter of flour, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Why don't you say that our farmers are suffering?" Planting wheat, cutting wheat, and drying grain, I worked hard for a year, but in the end I didn't eat a single white flour. ”
"Alright! It's good to have sweet potatoes to eat, and you still want to eat white flour dumplings, it's so beautiful! Jiang Qingshan patted his fourth son's head.
Shen Su'e hesitated for a long time and said, "I think, why don't you let San Leizi go to the town again tomorrow and buy some food stamps on the black market, what's going on?" ”
"Huh? Going to the black market? If you get caught, you'll go to jail! ”
"As long as you don't get caught! Last year, your eldest brother quietly went to the black market to buy food stamps once, isn't it fine? Shen Su'e said to Sihaizi.
Jiang Qingshan thought for a while, "Don't let San Leizi go, I'll go!" If I get caught, I will pick cow dung for two years at most, and it's okay, but Sanleizi will be different, and it won't be good for him to marry a daughter-in-law if he is caught. ”
"You're just ...... body"
Jiang Qingshan smiled and kicked his legs, "I'm so good now, I don't have anything to do at all, maybe I can run faster than you." ”
"Dad, what the hell have you eaten? I don't feel like anything is good after eating dog meat, I still had stomach trouble yesterday, why do you feel like you've eaten an elixir? ”
The door was knocked a few times at this time, and Erhuazi's voice came from outside, "Dad, mother, it's me, I'm coming to see you, Dad, are your legs better?" Daddy......"
Several people in the room looked at each other, "Why is the second brother here?" ”
"Definitely here to ask for dog meat." After Shen Su'e finished speaking, she seemed to have some idea and asked Sihaizi to open the door and bring people in.
Not long after, Erhuazi walked into the house, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at his mother: "Mother, this is about to be the New Year, I'll take a look at you!" ”
When he walked to the edge of the kang, he saw his father, and immediately asked attentively, "Dad, how are you?" I wanted to see you the other day, and I haven't been available. ”
"If you don't have time, stay at home with your daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Choked by his father like this, Erhuazi coughed twice in embarrassment, "What, my daughter-in-law has a big belly, she is very greedy, she thinks about dog meat every day, and she wants to taste it, but I can't help it, so I am cheeky......"
"Tsk! I knew you weren't that filial! Come and see us, if there is nothing in this house, you probably won't be too lazy to come at the end of the year. ”
"What's the case? I really want to come, and I want to bring some wine to celebrate, but it's my daughter-in-law who refuses, oops! Anyway, I don't know how happy I am to see that Dad can get out of bed and walk, really! Talking nonsense was struck by lightning! ”
Shen Su'e interrupted his chatter, "Okay, it's useless to say this, since you are here to ask for meat, let's make a deal, you want to go to the black market to exchange some food stamps for me and come back, I'll give you two catties of meat, what's the matter?" ”
Erhuazi was stunned, "Huh? Going to the black market? If you get caught......"
"You are smart, when you see someone coming to catch you, run away! If you don't like it, then I'll go to your eldest brother, and he'll be willing. ”
"I'll go, I'll go." Erhuazi hurriedly said.
His mother nodded, "Cheng, then it's decided!" Tomorrow you come to me to get the money, and then take the production team's car to the town, buy food stamps, and you directly exchange them for rice or flour and carry them back. ”
"Will Captain Li say anything about buying tickets?"
"Who in our village hasn't been to the black market to buy food stamps? Captain Li married his daughter-in-law a few years ago, and his father also went to the black market to exchange for food stamps, otherwise where would his family get rice as a bride price? Every family does this, what can he say about you? Shen Su'e said.
Erhuazi felt that it made sense and nodded, "yes, that's it!" Mother, let's talk about it, two catties of meat ......"
"Yours are indispensable!"
A few people talked for a while, and Erhuazi looked left and right, "Huh? What about the three lei and the five supersons? It's not going to go up again, is it? ”
"They followed the Wang family next door to dig kudzu in the mountains, what's wrong?"
"No, I thought they were going to catch wild dogs again," Erhuazi said, "Speaking of which, since my mother picked up Lingbao's doll and came back, my luck has been good, and if I pick up wild dogs, my father can walk on the ground." ”
Shen Su'e smiled and said: "My baby girl is a lucky star, her father and mother don't know the goods, she lost her, you don't know the goods, you don't know the goods, you have to break up the family, and the good luck of our family has nothing to do with you in the future." ”
Erhuazi knew that his mother was angry with him, "Why doesn't it matter?" After all, I'm her brother too! ”
After the hippie finished smiling, he asked, "Before I go, take a look at my lucky sister?" What is she doing in the house? If she is bored, she can play with my rich family, and she can be regarded as a companion. ”
"I guess I'm sleeping in the house, don't bother her!"
After Jiang Qingshan finished speaking, his daughter-in-law said: "Lingbao, this child has been sleepy these days, maybe the weather is too cold, I have to hurry up and make a jacket for her." ”
Saying this, she began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find rags again, "Erhuazi, have you let your daughter-in-law take all the cloths at home?" ”
"Didn't take it! What kind of cloth is there at home? I don't have a lot of cloth in my house......"
Erhuazi walked into the house as she spoke, and saw a small head exposed in the quilt, and the cute little girl was leaning sideways, her little mouth was slightly pouting, and her fleshy little face was red in the protein, and she was pillow on a white-washed pillow.
Looking at Lingbao like this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of softness in his heart, thinking about what kind of monster? Obviously it's a beautiful milk doll, that Liu Damei is talking nonsense with her daughter-in-law!
Guessing that the child must have been bored before going to sleep, Erhuazi stepped forward and asked, "Lingbao?" Do you want to come to my house? ”
As he could get any closer, he suddenly felt something kick at his feet, and looked down in confusion to see two burlap bags tied tightly with hemp rope.
