Chapter 5 The Food Rations Crisis
Li Dong was stunned, Xiaojuan was crying so sadly, these are just two eggs, why are you crying like this. "Xiaojuan, don't cry, go back and Dad will earn you ten, not twenty eggs, good, don't cry, this is a little cat." ”
This little face is like a cat, and it was dirty when I went to cut pigweed and feed the pigs, and it will cry tears one by one, and it is as black as if it has painted a grimace.
Xiaohua sobbed with a deflated mouth, her eyes looked at the eggs and fried leeks on the board, Li Dong Yile, a child is a child, this just cried nose, turned his face and ate it. "Fragrant, fried eggs with leeks, good guys, it's really fragrant, eat more later." ”
Not to mention that the eggs now taste much more fragrant than forty years later, who makes the hens eat earthworms, grasshoppers and insects, who have no extra food to raise chickens, are all three or five years old, can't work, can't get work, but can't be idle.
Go to your own home, or catch grasshoppers in the mountains, dig some earthworms to feed the chickens, but although each family has raised some chickens, but eggs are still a luxury, an egg sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives for less than three or five points, more can have seven or eight points.
You must know that now a pound of salt is only two eggs, a large bottle of two pounds of soy sauce can be exchanged for four or five eggs, and more than ten eggs can be exchanged for a pound of vegetable oil.
In these years, eggs are simply a nuclear weapon for the women of each family, and the family relies on it to eat salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and who is willing to eat this delicate thing.
The woman in charge can put the egg baby, the child touches it slightly, and the light ass is slapped a few times, and the heavy one is beaten. The most children do not give to their grandparents on their birthdays, and the men in the family see that they cook a stuff for the baby, and the baby can be happy for several days.
But Li Dong is good, two eggs scrambled a bowl of leek scrambled eggs, good guy, here are a few dishes, this is going to be a banquet.
Xiaojuan cried even more fiercely, her little chicken, this new father is delicious, and he has eaten all the money of the chicken, Xiaojuan thinks about the oil and salt that she hasn't eaten since then, she wants to be hungry, and the one who cries is sad.
Han Fu and Han Bing looked at Xiaojuan, sighed, and the two glanced at each other, this had to be said.
"Xiaojuan is well-behaved, don't cry and eat, Dad stewed soft-shelled turtle soup for you, drink more, grow taller. ”
Li Dong said bricks to greet Korean rich and Korean soldiers. "Captain, accountant, don't look at it, sit down, there is no food at home, eat as you like, I have to make a bottle of good wine, please drink." ”
Poof, as soon as the two of them heard it, the good guy was still aiming at the wine, this guy was going to be finished, the drunkard and the drunkard, as soon as he drank the wine, he would not become a ghost.
The two of them regretted it in their hearts, why did they get into a daze, and they lost their accounts for such a bastard, which can cause a lot of trouble. Alas, regret, you say, if you encounter someone who throws water in the future, you will still be far away, and you can't save it.
The two looked at each other, sat down, and talked to this kid for a while, but he couldn't do this in the future. "Come on, come on, move the chopsticks. ”
South Korea's rich and South Korean soldiers originally wanted to reason with Li Dong and be diligent and thrifty, but this fish is really fragrant, this oil and water is really enough, eat first, and then talk.
Egg fried leeks are a good thing, the two of them haven't eaten it for half a year, and the taste of this one made by Li Dong is better, and there is a lot of vegetable oil in it.
Xiaojuan was full of tears as she watched the captain and the second accountant eating their own eggs for chickens, and she couldn't hold back crying, this baby, crying like this like this when she eats an egg. "Good, Dad will make you scrambled eggs every day in the future. ”
Xiaojuan cried even harder when she heard wow, there will still be chickens in the future, eating eggs every day, this is the rhythm of eating up a year's rations in January.
South Korea's Fuhe and Korean soldiers, are eating fragrant, delicious, this kid can also cook, but put so much oil, it must be delicious to make it by any person, forget about Wang Ba soup, this thing smells too fishy, and there are too many fish spines.
People in the mountains don't have the habit of eating fish, especially in these days, who is willing to fry them directly in oil like Li Dong, it's too loser, there is really such an old lady, and she has to be smoked by her man three times a day.
"Taste, braised fish. ”
"There's a little less spice. ”
However, there are wild onions, wild garlic, and some wild seasonings in the mountains, plus fishy herbs, this braised fish is still good. Han Fu and Han Bing tried to take a bite, not to mention the fragrance, I just wanted to say that Li Dong can't be such a loser, but this fish is really good.
The rice soaked in fish soup is full of oil and water splashes, that fragrant, the two of them made three bowls of rice, fortunately, Li Dong made a lot of rice, this meal scared Xiaojuan, and the little girl saw that a pot of rice was all gone.
The eggs at home and the vegetable oil are also empty, I can't help crying, the new father is too loser, he is too pitiful, with such a father, Xiaojuan feels that she may have to go out to ask for food in a few days.
The more I think about it, the more sad I become, don't look at Xiaojuan, but she has experienced a lot of things, her mother didn't want her to run away, her father found her mother to make trouble and finally threw herself into the river, and she became a child without parents.
Xiaojuan's crying eyes are red, but the fish soup is really fragrant, the scrambled eggs with leeks are so delicious, eating while crying, Li Dong looked at Xiaojuan Alas, what a good child, eating an egg and crying like this, his own daughter eats eggs and doesn't eat yellow.
The dishes made at home, I turned my head and ran to KFC if I didn't like it, alas, I didn't listen to what I said, but Xiaojuan was a good child, easy to be satisfied, and I cried happily after drinking fish soup and eating an egg.
Xiaojuan wants to know what Li Dong thinks, she must cry louder, she is hopeless, she has to decide what she wants, and her new father is a super loser.
Han Fu and Korean soldiers, after eating, poured a bowl of water, drank the oil flowers in the shabu-shabu bowl, and burped. "Uh. ”
The two glanced at each other, and it was time to get down to business after eating and drinking, but they couldn't let Li Dong be so ruined, this year's drought and the late rice harvest would definitely be affected, and whether there were enough rations or not.
Li Dong waited for the two of them to finish eating, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiaojuan took it over and brushed it, what a good boy. "Don't cry, wait for Dad to make money, let you eat scrambled eggs and drink fish soup every day. ”
Wow, Xiaojuan trembled, she couldn't live, she couldn't live, her new father was a big loser, and when she thought of asking for food, Xiaojuan's tears burst into the dam, and she flowed in an uproar.
"This kid, excited. ”
Li Dong is very pleased, how caring a good child is, how easy it is to be satisfied, and he is happy to be like this when he eats eggs. Li Dong secretly encouraged himself, how could he say that the modern people who came after forty years could not earn a few eggs.
Li Dong plans to ask South Korea rich, South Korean soldiers, the current situation in the city, if the situation is good, open a letter of introduction, Li Dong plans to go around, maybe he can find any way to make money, of course, the premise is safe.
Li Dong is too cautious, to put it bluntly, he doesn't have any big ideals, he is afraid of things, or he will be a teacher. Also because of his cautiousness, and because he doesn't like to socialize, he has been an ordinary high school teacher for many years.
Compared with Li Dong's ex-wife, the current director of the district office, he may be promoted by one promotion at the end of the year, and that is the deputy director level, and it is rare to be in his thirties.
When Han Fu and Han Bing saw Li Dong coming, they felt that they had taught Li Dong a lesson in revolutionary struggle, diligence and thrift.
Li Dong was stunned when he learned that thirty catties of rice plus this coarse grain was his March ration, just kidding, this is enough to eat in March, don't make a fuss, you let yourself eat March with half a catty of vegetable oil, this is about the same for three meals at most.
Xiaojuan listened outside, tears fell, no, this new father is too loser, three times, Xiaojuan wiped a handful of tears, she must be strong, she must take care of this family, and she can't let this new father be a scourge.
Xiaojuan, you can do it, you have to be in charge of the house, you have to take care of the family, and take care of the new father, Li Dong was stunned after being educated by the rich and the Korean soldiers, and the second ball is over, and the March rations are according to the way you eat now, at most twenty days.
What should I do if I'm 70 days away, I'm hungry, I can't borrow food, I can't, I can't, I want to go to the city, I want to take a good look. "Borrow money?"
"No money. ”
Good guys, the two of them ate and drank, and there was no money when they wiped their mouths, and Li Dong lost his temper. "You have to give the money for food. ”
"...... you?"
South Korea's rich and South Korean soldiers, I can't wait to splash a bowl of water on Li Dong's face, and you yourself shouting for a treat, which will turn your face and ask for money.
"Uncle Guofu, I don't think there is a relative in the city, so I don't plan to borrow some rations. ”
Li Dongxin said, no, let's make up a reason.
Han Fu and Han Bing glanced at each other, although the two of them are not highly educated, they have a lot of experience, this kid is not ready to run, this is not possible, such a waste of rice and grain, can not be allowed to run.
"Cheng, I'll look back, you know there's no money in the team. ”
"There's always money for the ticket. ”
Li Dongxin said that in these years, there was no letter of introduction, and he couldn't even sit on the bus, as for walking to the city, just kidding, not to mention going to the commune for more than ten miles, the commune is still forty or fifty miles away from the city, go, Li Dong feels that it is almost the same as killing himself.
"Chengcheng, I'll go to a relative's house in a few days to help you borrow some. ”
Han Fu waved his hand and said. "You have worked hard these days, and there is still this food, save some. ”
After the two finished speaking, they ran away, joking about money, no way, I want to run, this can't be done, the work is not done, the next day Li Dong found that his work had changed again, Han Fu arranged for his eldest son to take Li Dong to step on the water truck to irrigate some low-lying paddy fields.
This thing doesn't look tired, but after stepping on it for a day, Li Dong's whole leg is swollen, and he is snorting. "No, if you keep doing it, your life will be in jeopardy. "To get the fare, Li Dong must go to the city and find some way to make money, otherwise he will do this every day, and he will eat multigrain rice, not even some oil and water, and sooner or later he will have to kill himself.
"Huh, 85?"
"What's the use of this thing? ”
The numbers on the display change, and the first line becomes. “85:25:56。 ”
