Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 222 Sense of Ritual

Li Xu sniffed, "I hope so."

In fact, he knew that he would feel much better after adapting, just like Liu Gang could recover faster than him.

But the adaptation phase was really tough.

After breakfast, everyone continued on their journey.

The road was icy today, so the convoy was driving very carefully.

After driving for a while, Li Xu finally remembered what happened last night. "Uncle Liu, the solution you mentioned last night was to bury the eggshells?"

Liu Gang was much more focused on driving today than he was yesterday. He kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and responded, "This way it's not easy for others to notice, and it's simple and quick. How great!"

"I think it's a good idea to put it in a bag and throw it away when we get back."

Liu Gang: ...

After a moment of silence, Liu Gang said angrily, "That's so dirty. Besides, it would be terrible if someone saw it. Okay, stop talking. I need to drive carefully now."

Li Xu immediately became happy when he saw him like this.

However, for the sake of his own safety, he didn't say anything else and just spent the time looking at the scenery outside the window.

Fortunately, we traveled a lot yesterday and we managed to deliver the goods to the destination around 5 pm.

After the supplies were handed over, it was completely dark.

The car team started cooking dinner on the street.

Master Qi used a large iron spoon to stir the pot continuously and said with a smile, "Today is Laba Festival. Let's make some rice porridge to show our appreciation and celebrate the festival."

Everyone expressed their agreement.

Although the conditions are not good, there should always be a sense of ritual. At worst, I can just eat less in the next two days.

Pedestrians pass by on the road from time to time. When they smell this smell, they swallow their saliva unconsciously and stare at this place without wanting to move away.

I guess if they hadn't seen the cars behind the crowd, they might have just started robbing.

Li Xu held the lunch box and kept eating, but his thoughts had already drifted back home.

What are your family members doing now?

at the same time.

Li Jiakang and others had finished dinner and were sitting in the main room chatting.

Li Chen was muttering, "I really hope I can drink that delicious porridge again in a few days."

"You only know how to eat. I just ate a few bowls of rice porridge and it still can't fill your mouth. Why don't you worry about whether your second brother is hurt?" Li Jiakang glared at him.

"My second brother was able to go out with the car normally, so he must be fine. At most he has some bruises on his face."

As if he thought of something funny, Li Chen laughed after he finished speaking.

"Dad, don't worry. Xiaoxu is in such good shape now that he won't suffer any loss. Besides, we heard that everyone in the car team is fine." Li Ping persuaded, then glared at Li Chen.

"I think you're just itching for trouble, and you're even gloating over someone else's misfortune. Believe it or not, when your second brother comes back, I'll tell him and see how he'll deal with you."

The news of the battle at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday morning has spread.

They were all a little confused after hearing what they heard today. They didn't expect that Li Xu and his team would fight with others when they were going to transport the goods, and that someone almost died.

The smile on Li Chen's face froze instantly, and then he sat there pretending to be well-behaved, not daring to say a word.

Li Jiakang waved his hand, then picked up the tea and started drinking.

Sun Xiu glanced at him and then said, "I wonder if Xiaoxu and Xiaomei had porridge today?"

As a mother, she is more concerned about her two children who are away from home.

There is no need to worry about Li Xu, and there is no need to worry about Li Mei either.

Because she also drank the porridge.

At this time, I was chatting with my roommates in the dormitory.

In the dormitory, only Li Mei was in the best condition, while the others all looked skinny.

Everyone was talking about how delicious the rice porridge was, but as they talked, a few girls began to regret it.

Li Mei couldn't help herself any longer, and then she said, "Alright, today is a holiday, it's normal for us to have a good meal occasionally. Besides, I treated you to this porridge, why are you so upset?"

Even though she would help her roommates from time to time, there were quite a few of them and she couldn't help too much.

After all, there is only so much food for a month, and she has to eat a lot herself.

What's more, she wanted these people to remember her kindness, so it was naturally impossible for her to let them develop a habit, lest the kindness turn into hatred.

Since today is a holiday, she took the opportunity to treat everyone to a good meal.

Originally these people disagreed.

They understood that Li Mei was treating them in name only but actually providing financial support.

Besides, they knew how much food Li Mei usually spent to support them.

Drinking porridge seems a bit too luxurious.

You should know that the rice contained in one bowl of porridge is at least enough for them to eat two bowls of porridge.

In the end, it was only after Li Mei’s persuasion that they agreed.

Although everyone thought it was delicious when they ate it, they inevitably regretted it afterwards.

Hearing Li Mei's words, a girl's face was filled with gratitude. "Even if it's you who invited us, we feel bad. You don't have to send food back normally. You should give us the food you save. When you first came, you still had some meat on your body. Look at you now. If you eat more in the future, we won't starve to death."

"Yes, yes, yes. Eat more next time and we'll be fine." The others also agreed.

Seeing their sincere eyes, Li Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. This is all I can do to help you. Just don't think it's too little."

She used to have delicious food and drinks at home.

Like this time last year, the Laba porridge she ate contained diced meat. How could she not gain some weight?

Now not only can I not see any meat at school, but I can’t even eat enough at every meal, so I lost weight.

But judging from the attitudes of these people, she felt that her help was not in vain.

The others were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "We all want to offer you gifts, how could we think it's not enough?"

"That's an exaggeration." Li Mei said, and then changed the subject to talk about something else.

Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable if they kept talking about this.

Before going to bed, she thought of her family in Tang County.

As I was thinking, I fell asleep.

...

Another day passed.

At dawn, Li Xu and others were woken up by the night duty officer.

After washing up, Li Xu sighed, "I can finally get home today. I must have a good sleep tomorrow."

I don’t know if it was because of the cold weather or what, but we didn’t even encounter many bandits.

Even if they encountered them, they would immediately turn around and leave after hearing the gunshots.

This made everyone happy.

But then comes another problem.

In order to hurry on the road these days, no one has had a good rest, and their mental and physical strength have deteriorated a lot. Now they can hardly open their eyes when washing.

So someone on the side said, "It's time to have a good rest and get enough energy. We have to continue transporting goods the day after tomorrow."
