Chapter 7: The Cellar
Looking at Xu Damao's frowning and winning, he knew that this product was a peek.
After a while, Qin Huairu in the house was beaten and cried.
Yan Jiecheng is a sunny boy in the flowering season, how can he tolerate such dirtiness, he can't hate......
Forget it, although Cao Thief is good, it is not my ability.
The sixteen-year-old body really couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly pulled Xu Damao to the backyard.
The two of them opened another bottle of wine and talked about the topic just now for a long, long, long time......
After this incident, the relationship between the two has gone further, as if they have been friends for many years.
Yan Jiecheng understood in his heart that a man, just such a small thing can be regarded as a big iron.
After all, Cao Thief had done it with Brother Yuan back then.
After drinking the two bottles of wine, about ten o'clock, the two of them were still talking, and the three mothers came in.
"Da Mao, you guys are done drinking. I was afraid that it would be drunk and it would not be safe to walk alone, so I came over to take a look. ”
Yan Jiecheng looked at his mother's words, angry and funny.
If the three mothers didn't hold a small basin in their hands, Yan Xie would really believe it.
Yan Jiecheng turned his head to look at Xu Damao, revealing an embarrassed and apologetic look.
Xu Damao has been like a mirror in his heart since the three mothers came in. They are all old neighbors, who know their roots. What's more, Xu Damao, a human spirit, has a hard grasp of people's hearts.
Seeing this, Xu Damao smiled and said to the three mothers: "Three mothers, you came at the right time." No, I just finished drinking with Brother Xie Cheng. ”
Then, pointing to the dog meat and the little chicken left on the table, he said, "You see I still have some meat left, if you don't dislike giving them a tooth sacrifice for liberation and liberation." ”
The three mothers naturally smiled and said, "The three mothers thank you, Damao." Hey, a few children haven't seen meat for half a year. “
As he spoke, he began to clean up the leftovers on the table.
The two of them walked to the front yard house, and the three masters stood in the front yard and looked at the hanging flower door from time to time, as if they could see something in the darkness.
"Hey, it's all meat and vegetables, good stuff. This Xu Damao is enough to blood locally. Yan Bugui said excitedly.
"it up, or the smell will run away."
Yan Jiefang hadn't slept yet, and when he was nine years old, he looked at the meat in the basin and said, "Dad, I'll eat a piece." ”
"No, you can eat one more day tomorrow, what do you eat this big night? Something that doesn't calculate. ”
Yan Jiecheng looked at the appearance of the second child's small arms and legs, grabbed a bone from the basin, handed it to Yan Jiefang, and said, "Eat, don't eat too much at night, just eat this piece." ”
The second child took the bones alone, got into the hut he and Yan Jiecheng, and secretly went to eat meat.
Yan Jiecheng looked at the third master with a sad look on his face, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" Why have you been sad lately? ”
It stands to reason that Yan Jiecheng has found a job, and his salary is relatively higher than that of ordinary people.
It was said earlier that his salary was lower than the average salary in Sijiucheng that year. Now it is said that it is a little higher than the average person's salary. Isn't that inconsistent?
There is no contradiction, in a word, there are really a lot of unusual people in Sijiu City.
The situation of the Yan family is much better than the original plot. In the original plot, until 65 years, Yan Bu still had a salary of 27.5 yuan to support a large family. The key is to marry Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has no job yet. It's basically the rhythm of one person feeding a family of seven. If it weren't for the brothers working as temporary workers, the Yan family would definitely starve to death.
In this way, the kind-hearted master in the Heavenly World often said: "Old Yan, you see that the five members of Qin Huairu's family rely on her to live on 27.5 yuan alone." Let's all help her and donate money to her family. I'll make a sample first. As he spoke, he took out ten dollars.
The three masters only trembled, trembling and taking out a dollar.
This kind of good deeds have always happened to the three great masters of the heavens and all worlds.
Think about how heartbroken the three masters are.
Facing the eldest son's inquiry, Yan Bugui looked outside cautiously and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered the reason.
"Boss, over the years, Xiao Ri and Niang Xipi have come and gone in our Sijiu City, until the year of the second child, the new government was established, and then there was a day of peace."
"If it weren't for the careful calculation over the years, the Yan family would have been thrown into a mass grave outside the city long ago."
"These days, non-staple foods are hard to come by. No one at the school exchanged food stamps with me. ”
Originally, Yan Bugui used to exchange fine grain stamps with teachers for coarse grain stamps. This will give you more food.
"You must know that this is the wax moon, in previous years, it was the time when the supply was the most abundant."
"This year, so much has happened. Your cousin's house in the countryside is said to yield 10,000 catties per mu. Every household smashed the pot to make steel, everyone ate in the canteen together, and the whole countryside was eating Haisai, how much food would it cost? ”
Yan Jiecheng knew about this big cafeteria.
What I read in the newspapers was good news, a bumper grain harvest and a great increase in industry. Fantasizing that there will be food to the production team, many elderly people also have their own small abacus, eating a big pot of rice can save their own food at home, so that life will be a little better, many families are more difficult, I hope to eat a big pot of rice can change, at least a little better than in the past.
However, everyone is obviously overthinking.
"Xie Cheng, your dad and I have been studying for a few years. There hasn't been such a reason for thousands of years. I don't feel very good, I always feel like something's going on. ”
Listening to Yan Bugui's words, Yan Jiecheng was also extremely shocked. No one should be underestimated, let alone those who survived the war-torn years.
Yan Jiecheng knew that next year would be the most difficult three years.
As a result of the widespread natural disasters that have been hit for several consecutive years, there has been a general shortage of food and non-staple foodstuffs. Therefore, starting next year, their family will face the most serious difficulties since the birth of the second child.
Yan Jiecheng looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Dad, as the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hand." We don't care how the wind blows, just eat some of them. ”
Yan Bugui whispered: "The problem is here, there is not much food to buy in the city now. All the grain in the countryside is now returned to the public, so it is not easy to do it. ”
Yan Jiecheng thought about it, but there was no good way. Then I thought about the next three years. If there is less food, it will not be used, and if there is more, there will be no place to hide.
"Dad, if there is food, we have nowhere to hide. In case it is known by others, it will become a bane. ”
Yan Bugui didn't answer, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "The eldest is also working now, and he is the eldest in the family. I'll give you an explanation. We have our own cellar. ”
Yan Jiecheng was curious: "Why didn't I know all along?" ”
Yan Bugui pointed to the south wall of the house. Buckle a plank from the corner. There are actually steps below, and as you go down the steps, the cellar area is not small. It is more than two meters high, and the ground is two or three square meters.
It seems that the cellar was built together with the house in the past.
Without waiting for Yan Jiecheng to take a closer look, Yan Bugui turned a wall from one side of the cellar, and a hidden space leaked out.
Oh, good fellows. This cellar also has a secret room.
I used to think that the small west wing room was because of the influence of the corridor, but now after looking at the cellar, Yan Jiecheng realized that this was originally to hide the cellar.
