Zhang Xudong finally thought about it and realized that the only one who could squeeze out some food now was the Xiangyang Brigade.

After the autumn harvest this year, each person in Xiangyang Brigade received nearly 200 kilograms of food rations.

Those strong laborers with more work points can get more than 400 kilograms of corn.

Kill a wild boar and exchange it for corn. One pound of meat can be exchanged for two or three pounds of corn. Shouldn't everyone make the exchange?

If you can exchange it for a few hundred kilograms of corn as a formality, you can add the food in the space into it.

Zhang Xudong thought about going to the village to discuss it with Uncle Dazhuang.

After saying hello to his grandma and the others, Zhang Xudong put on his backpack and rode his bike to Xiangyang Brigade.

It was a very cold day and there were few people hanging around on the streets of the village.

There were a few old men sitting by the wall basking in the sun.

Their heads were wrapped in white towels, their hands tucked into their sleeves, and they were all dozing against the wall, probably because they had gotten a nice tan.

The complexions of several old men look much better than before the autumn harvest. They should be able to survive this winter.

Zhang Xudong didn't disturb them and went straight to Uncle Dazhuang's house.

As soon as he reached Uncle Dazhuang's door, he saw five kids, Zhang Guoqing, Zhang Shengli, Gousheng, Liu Ximei and Sanya, coming out of the yard playing and laughing.

As soon as they saw Zhang Xudong, their eyes lit up and they surrounded him while shouting.

"Brother Dongzi, when did you come back? You hadn't come back when we went to the county town on Sunday." Zhang Guoqing asked.

"I just got home yesterday and came back to see you today.

Come, each of you has a handful of candy, so you can save it and eat it slowly."

As Zhang Xudong spoke, he grabbed some candies from his bag and stuffed a handful into each child's schoolbag.

The children didn't hesitate and thanked him in unison.

"Isn't it time for you guys to go to class?" Zhang Xudong asked.

"Brother Dongzi, we are going to school. Why don't you come earlier?" San Ya said dejectedly.

"It's time to go to school, and you guys should study hard.

When you go to junior high school, you will all go to school in the county town, and there will be enough space for all of you to live at home.

If you can skip a grade and get into junior high school, you can go to the county town earlier.

Brother Dongzi, I teach you martial arts every day."

Zhang Xudong continued to the children.

"Then just wait and see, Dongzi brother. We will definitely be able to get into junior high school soon."

The children immediately perked up, said goodbye and ran towards school.

"Dongzi, please don't spoil them.

These kids are already the bosses in school and are very naughty.

The teacher would come and complain about them, saying they beat up other people’s kids.”

Zhang Dazhuang, who came out after hearing the noise, shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhuang, these kids won't take the initiative to bully others.

But if someone bullies them, they have to fight back.

Otherwise, why would we let them learn martial arts when we have to spend money on food and clothing?"

As Zhang Xudong spoke, he pushed the cart into the yard.

"I see, these kids are not only learning martial arts from you, but they've also picked up your bad habits."

Zhang Dazhuang pointed at him and said.

"Uncle Dazhuang, please stop talking about me. You weren't much better when you were young."

Zhang Xudong said with a grin.

"You, you always have something to say. Tell me, what brings you back today?"

Zhang Dazhuang was too lazy to argue with Zhang Xudong, so he changed the topic and asked.

"Uncle Zhuang, I want to go hunt a wild boar and exchange it for some food from the villagers. What do you think would be a good exchange?"

Zhang Xudong asked straight to the point.

"What's wrong? The monthly supply for you and your sister isn't enough, is there a shortage of food at home?

Then don't bother with that. I'll ask your aunt to pack you 30 or 40 pounds of cornmeal for you guys to eat first."

Uncle Zhuang said this and was about to go into the house to call for help.

Zhang Xudong quickly stopped him.

"Uncle, I'm not short of thirty or twenty kilograms of food, I need several hundred kilograms."

Zhang Xudong told Zhang Dazhuang the general outline of the matter.

Zhang Dazhuang will know about this at the latest tomorrow, so it’s better to tell the truth.

To avoid Zhang Dazhuang scolding me when he finds out, I didn’t tell him about it.

Little did he know that Zhang Dazhuang would immediately jump up and down after hearing it.

He pointed at Zhang Xudong and started cursing:

"I'm saying, kid, do you look down on your uncle as the captain?

Or are you a city dweller now and look down on the peasants in our brigade?

Don't forget that your last name is Zhang, we all have the same ancestor."

Zhang Xudong was confused by the scolding and asked doubtfully:

"What's wrong, uncle? I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you so angry?"

Aunt Zhuang, who came out of the house after hearing the noise, also complained:

"What's wrong with his father? Dongzi finally came back once, why are you howling?"

Uncle Zhuang angrily told his wife what happened.

Then he added, “Look at what this kid is doing.

I said there was nothing important to do today, so the commune hurriedly notified the old secretary to attend a meeting.

It turns out the root of the problem lies with you.

The big boss personally wrote the four words "courageous hero" for you. What an honor it is!

In the past, this would require setting up an ancestral hall to worship ancestors.

You bet it’s okay, you don’t tell the villagers, and you don’t tell our Zhang family either. What do you want?

If you weren't short of food, would you not have come back today?

So we can know about this last like everyone else?

And then people pointed at the people of our village, pointed at the Zhang family and laughed at them?"

Aunt Zhuang slapped her thighs and shouted:

"Oh my god, this is a shocking event!
