Tang Qiuyue slept until after three in the afternoon when she was woken up by hunger.
Rubbing his swollen forehead, Tang Qiyue glanced to his side and did not see Zhan Zeye. He guessed that he must have gone to the military camp.
Sure enough, when I got up, I saw the note left by Zhan Zeye on the table.
After putting the note away, Tang Qiuyue went outside to wash her face and picked a cucumber to quench her thirst.
Cucumbers have recently entered their peak harvest season, and there are many cucumbers to pick every day.
Tang Qiuyue walked around first and filled the basket placed beside the vegetable garden, but found that it was full.
When she saw Xu Qiuju from next door, she called her over to get some.
"That's great! Why don't I have so many cucumbers to pick?"
Xu Qiuju muttered and took a look. They were all seedlings transplanted from Tang Qiyue, and the planting method was the same. How could it be that the ones from her place were not good?
When Tang Qiyue's vegetable garden entered the period of full harvest, Xu Qiuju's cucumber garden had just grown a cucumber.
"I'll just take five, just one for each of us!"
Xu Qiuju was not greedy. Tang Qiyue picked the fruits every day anyway. Even if she didn't come to get them, Tang Qiyue would put them in her house along the fence.
Passing the cucumber to Xu Qiuju, Tang Qiyue sniffed and smelled the various meaty smells in the air: "Is it getting fat?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qiuju nodded vigorously.
"You don't know how lively it is today, it's because you didn't go there. If you had, you would have seen it!"
Xu Qiuju removed the thorns from the cucumber and started to eat it directly.
Anyway, cucumbers are very clean, and it’s neither meal time nor rest time at this time, so chewing a cucumber is just the right way to kill time.
Tang Qiuyue asked Xu Qiuju to elaborate.
She carried the cucumber and placed it on the table in the yard, then went directly to the kitchen to bring out the food and placed it in the yard.
She had just woken up and was still hungry.
To save time, he just ate the buns directly, so he didn't miss the chance to listen to Xu Qiuju's gossip.
"Didn't we say today that you can bring your food ration book to collect food and meat? We have quotas here in the family compound, so everyone is fine. No one is causing trouble. But the family compound at the research institute is not like that!"
Through Xu Qiuju's narration, Tang Qiyue realized that because there were too many things distributed this time, and they were white flour and pork, many people were thinking about it.
In other words, Tang Qiuyue got enough meat this time, and there were few people on the island. Apart from those in the military camp, everyone else was counted by hair.
However, there are discrepancies in the quota. Although the family compound has a food ration book, many times on the island, we have to follow the rules of the island. We can directly receive the amount determined by our uncle.
But it’s different at the research institute, because some people have different food relationships, some have more, some have less, so they will distribute the food according to their ability. Generally, it doesn’t come from the canteen, but is distributed by Sister Zheng and others.
It is a stretch to say this, as the research institute is not a military unit but an independent unit, and it also has a person in charge of logistics.
Unfortunately, the person in charge is not very capable. He usually doesn't take care of things, but he is very active when distributing things.
As a result, the canteen refused to honor the grain distribution and a commotion broke out.
"You don't know, I saw some people get more than 20 kilograms of flour and 10 kilograms of meat. They feel like they've been cheated, but they insist on paying according to the grain certificate!"
Xu Qiuju tutted her tongue twice. "They're so arrogant on our territory! I don't know who gave them the guts. They were directly rebuked by Political Commissar Wu!"
Originally, this matter could have been resolved if Political Commissar Wu had stepped in, but the people from the research institute refused to do anything when they saw the meat.
The situation got so bad that even the director of the research institute was called in to judge the matter.
The head of the research institute was busy dealing with the weapons that Zhan Zeye had taken over, so he had no time to take care of this matter and directly asked the person in charge of personnel to go over.
The personnel director was also a seasoned man. He didn't dare to offend the family members, so he wanted the old uncle to compromise. The old uncle simply gave up and let Political Commissar Wu take care of it.
Political Commissar Wu tried to reason with them, but a group of shameless people started making trouble for the sake of meat and food.
"If he wasn't afraid of hurting someone, I think Political Commissar Wu would have used his gun!"
Xu Qiuju munched on the cucumber with a crunching sound, and became more and more excited as she spoke.
"After we finally resolved the matter, someone brought up the child that Sister Zheng adopted. They said that although the Tian family's child was an orphan, he was a family member of the institute and his food supply was also connected to the institute, so he had to be taken away!"
At this point, Xu Qiuju spat: "Bah! Those guys only want food, not people. They even say that as the wife of a PLA soldier, Sister Zheng should continue to look after the Tian family's child!"
Tang Qiyue felt like she was about to explode when she heard this.
It is also possible.
He really has no shame at all.
Political Commissar Wu was not in a position to say anything about this matter. It was only when the other two sisters in Sister Zheng's office lost their temper and directly cursed those shameless ancestors of the institute that they shut up.
"I've learned a lot. How shameless can these educated people be? They say they're educated people and don't need to waste their brains to do things, so they should get more food. They also say that the families of us soldiers are a bunch of idiots and eating so much is a waste of food!"
Xu Qiuju was probably also stimulated by these words, and became more and more excited as she spoke.
Tang Qiuyue handed her a new cucumber at the right time.
Eat something to cool down your body.
Xu Qiuju really needed something to cool down her heat, so she started chewing the cucumber again.
"If you ask me, those people are just spoiled. The ones who are capable are the researchers, not their families. How can they be so shameless? They come to the island and complain that our conditions are not good, saying that life in the city is not as comfortable!"
"If you have so much complaints, why did you come with me? Isn't it better to be in the city? Do you think I don't know what the situation is like in the city? Can they eat enough in the city?"
After eating four buns, Tang Qiuyue felt full and started to chew on a cucumber.
The greasy meat buns really need a refreshing and refreshing touch like cucumber to weigh them down.
"Didn't we agree on five catties of flour and five catties of pork per person? I don't think the uncles and the others will tolerate their mischief, right?"
Tang Qiyue still remembers what her uncle and the others said.
Xu Qiuju nodded. "Of course, what's the big deal? It's not distributed by household, but by person. This amount doesn't sound like much, but my family got 25 kilograms of flour and 25 kilograms of pork!"
There is so much meat that even if you eat as much as you want, it will take you a while.
White flour is not good enough, it is definitely not enough to eat.
One pound of white flour a day is just right for adults, and children may need less. However, the children in Xu Qiuju's family are all growing up, so their appetite is also terrifying.
After listening to Xu Qiuju's calculation, Tang Qiuyue felt a little regretful that she had not used enough white flour.
"But who would be willing to eat only white flour? It's better to mix it with cornmeal, which is enough!"
