At the same time, with the climax of the construction of water conservancy facilities across the country, the construction of the Ming Tombs Reservoir has also officially begun.

Most people of that era should have more or less the memory of "river workers".

The Ming Tombs Reservoir is planned to be completed before the summer flood season, and it will be less than half a year to be full, and the construction period is quite tight.

However, in the era when labor was glorious and the enthusiasm of the whole people was high and leaping forward, no one flinched.

A few days later, the Spring Festival of '58 came as scheduled, and on the night of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, more than 27,000 migrant workers, officers and soldiers, cadres, and students resounded the labor songs of the Ming Tombs Reservoir construction site.

However, at the beginning of this Spring Festival, cities have implemented a rationed supply of 8 kinds of non-staple foods such as pork, beef and mutton, fresh eggs, red and white sugar, vermicelli, and pastries.

Hermes-Epitek supplies 6 taels of pork and 5 taels of beef and mutton per person per month; The Hui people supply 1 catty of beef and mutton and 4 taels per person per month; 4 taels of red and white sugar, 2 fresh eggs.

In addition, the "May Day" festival supplies fresh fish, and the "Dragon Boat Festival" festival supplies zongzi, and the method of supplying more households and less supply is adopted, and the supply date is sold out within 3 to 7 days.

Of course, in big cities such as Sijiucheng and Shanghai, the supply is relatively more, with pork per person per month rationing 12 taels, and a subsidy of 8 taels per person for vegetables in the New Year. Pork is 1 catty for 2 people per household, 1 catty and a half for 3 to 5 people, and 2 catties for more than 6 people.

Eggs are 1 kg per household per month, half of fresh eggs and half of ice eggs, and they are purchased with a meat certificate. Brown sugar and white sugar vouchers shall not exceed half a catty per person per purchase.

However, the supply was halved after two months.

On the one hand, under the propaganda, people's enthusiasm for labor is high, and on the other hand, the supply of materials is gradually tightened.

……

"The little bench has four legs, and I give my grandmother melon seeds. Grandma thought I was dirty, I made a bowl of hot soup for grandma, grandma said I didn't put oil on the oil, I kowtowed to grandma ....... ”

Unknowingly, Xiao Li'er is more than two years old, and it can be said that she is three years old after the Spring Festival, which is the time for Xiaozui.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, at this time, Xiao Li'er is sitting on a small bench, eating melon seeds and milking milk in her mouth.

In the end, she suddenly stopped, tilted her little head, and asked Xu Deyong, who was peeling melon seeds, "Well, Dad, I have a grandmother, why don't I have a grandmother?" ”

Xu Nanshi, who was sandwiching Ping'er between his legs and smiling, couldn't help but look at it.

Xu Deyong thought for a while and said, "Your grandmother went far, far away. ”

"When will Grandma come back?" Xiao Li'er innocently bit her finger and asked.

Xu Deyong touched her head and said, "I have to wait until you grow up." ”

"Oh, then I'm going to grow up quickly." Xiao Li'er grinned.

Xu Huizhen on the side also smiled, with a trace of memory in her eyes.

"Click......."

Ping'er made a happy sound, and her calves were very energetic.

There was some movement in the courtyard outside the house, it was every household that began to paste Spring Festival couplets, and occasionally the sound of children setting off firecrackers came.

However, Xu Deyong's family still can't post Spring Festival couplets this year, and they can wait for next year.

At this time, Xiao Li'er clicked her lips, got up and picked up the enamel water cup on the table with two small hands, drank a few sips, wiped it with her sleeves, ran to Xu Deyong's side and said, "Dad, go out and put a little whip." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, go out and put a little whip." ”

As soon as she saw Xu Deyong get up and want to go out, Ping'er was anxious, and she wanted to go out with her calves, and said vaguely: "Horn ......." ”

"No sister." Xiao Li'er took Xu Deyong's hand and said.

Because she knew that if her father brought his sister, he wouldn't be able to play with her.

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but chuckle; "You little villain, you're a sister, you have to take care of your sister."

"Hee-hee, don't." Xiao Li'er's eyes were clever and said, "Mom takes care of it." ”

After speaking, he pulled Xu Deyong out.

When Ping'er saw her father and sister going out, she was stunned for a moment, and then cried "wow".

Xu Nanshi hurriedly coaxed: "Ouch, Ping'er doesn't cry, they set off firecrackers, it's very loud, you will be scared ......." ”

Xu Deyong was dragged by Xiao Li'er to the courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and He Yuzhu in the courtyard were all pasting Spring Festival couplets.

Looking at the handwriting, it should all be written by Yan Bugui.

Xu Deyong greeted everyone, and Xiao Li'er also called it all over again with a very sweet mouth.

Yi Zhonghai still likes Xiao Li'er, and said with a smile: "Li'er is so good, come to Uncle Yi to give you melon seeds to eat." ”

Xiao Li'er shook her head and said cutely: "There is a family, I want to put a little whip with my father, don't be afraid." ”

When the stick terrier heard this, his eyes lit up, and he ran over and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, you can let it go." ”

He Yuzhu jumped down from the stool and clapped his hands, and deliberately said, "I'm not afraid, I'll put it well." ”

Xiao Li'er raised her little head and pouted, "It's not good, Dad." ”

"Hey, the little girl is quite protective of food." He Yuzhu grinned.

Xu Deyong looked at He Yuzhu's Spring Festival couplets: "Send the old and welcome the new, and wish the new year a better year than the old one; Reminiscing about the past, thinking about the past, you should know that today is sweet. ”

He smiled and said, "Pillar, how many words are there in the Spring Festival couplets!" ”

He Yuzhu was a little proud when he heard this: "I gave it to Old Yan...... The teacher has two handfuls of melon seeds, but he is not allowed to write a few more words. ”

The little stick terrier on the side turned his eyes and said: "Porcelain rooster, iron crane (hao two sounds), glass mouse glass cat." ”

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "What the stick terrier said is right, even if you don't pull it out, I'll give you some points." ”

This is to describe people who are stingy and do not pull out a dime.

Yi Zhonghai glared slightly and said, "Pillar, you don't have to say these things for the New Year." ”

Jia Dongxu also said lightly: "Stick terrier, you bear child, you know that it is not easy to learn these things from the boys in the alley." ”

The little stick terrier pouted and said, "No, grandma taught ......." ”

"Ahem!" When Jia Dongxu heard this, he quickly coughed and interrupted: "Go home, it's cold outside." ”

The little stick terrier muttered: "Don't, I want to see Uncle Yong put a small whip, and you won't buy it for me." ”

Jia Dongxu said: "You are too young to put it away, and your father will definitely buy it for you next year." ”

The little stick terrier smiled and said, "Then Daddy has to talk and count." ”

"Definitely counts, you play for a while and then go home, don't cause trouble to people." Jia Dongxu went home after speaking.

Xiao Li'er couldn't help but say in a milky voice: "Dad, put the little whip." ”

Xu Deyong took out a scattered whip and kerosene lighter and said, "Then Dad ordered it." ”

"I'm covering my ears." Xiao Li'er was dressed bloatedly, hiding behind Xu Deyong clumsily and exposing half of her head, covering her ears with two small hands.

The little stick terrier said proudly: "I don't cover my ears, I'm not afraid." ”

"Okay, then I'll let it go." Xu Deyong said, lit one and threw it in the middle of the yard.

"Smack!"

After the ringing, Xiao Li'er immediately let go of her little hand and said, "Put one more, Dad put another ......." ”

The little stick terrier shrunk his neck and continued to watch the excitement with some envy.

Xu Nanshi also came to the window with Ping'er, whose eyelashes were hanging with teardrops, and watched them put a small whip.

"Slap, slap, slap......."

In the sporadic sound of firecrackers, the Year of the Rooster passed like this, and entered the Year of the Dog.

……

On the first day of the first month, I walked all over the street, and went out to resign from relatives and friends.

On the second day of the first month, the God of Wealth is sacrificed, and the "ingots soup" must be used at noon.

On the third day of the first lunar month, "Little New Year's Dynasty", eat stuffed boxes.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, I don't go out, and eat "folding baskets", the so-called folding baskets are a hodgepodge of leftover meals from a few days together.

In the past few days, Xu Deyong also took his family to visit the Changdian temple fair.

On the fifth day of the new year, "breaking five", Xu Deyong took the family back to the tavern, and Xu Hui really wanted to prepare for the opening of the tavern tomorrow.

This year will be a turning point.

With the strengthening of the consciousness around the independence and sovereignty of the country last year, cooperation with the Great Soviet Union was stopped.

Dasu began to withdraw capital and personnel, and in this way, all the original foreign capital evolved into foreign debts that had to be repaid immediately.

As soon as the fiscal deficit was in place, it was unable to invest in the expansion of reproduction, so it had to decentralize power to the localities and promote industrialization on their own initiative, and due to the lack ......of technical guidance and industrial experience, exaggerated tendencies and so on followed.

At the same time, the DPRK aid troops decided to withdraw in batches by the end of the year.

Mi Guo and the principal are also not at ease.

Internal and external pressures come together!
