Chapter 232 Autumn Wind Rises 4
She wanted to say, such simple food: are you treating beggars as food?
But Captain Li thought more than his daughter. No one knows a daughter better than her father. If his daughter's words were spoken out, Secretary Song would find fault with her.
So he immediately interrupted his daughter and said, "Sit down. This meal is great. We must never forget those difficult days. The good days we have now are hard-earned. We must set an example and remember the bitter past while cherishing the sweet present."
This scene was very well said.
Secretary Song gave a thumbs up and said, "After all, he is the team leader, so he has a high level of awareness."
Then he looked at Captain Li's daughter and asked, "Comrade, what did you want to say earlier?"
"Do you think our country food is not good?"
"But we can't eat commercial grains. My family usually eats broken rice like this. If you don't believe me, you can go to my house and see for yourself now."
"In the countryside, my family is lucky to have rice, but many team members eat vegetable cakes."
It's because we got so much broken rice for nothing last year that it's now infested with worms.
But even though the family has no shortage of money or food, they are reluctant to waste it, so everyone just eats it.
He was secretly glad in his heart that he had Lao Chu and the others to eat with. Otherwise, he would have to eat until at least next year, and would probably have to compete with rice bugs for the broken rice.
Oh, I really can’t think about it. Thinking about that scene makes me feel sick.
He would rather eat wild vegetable cakes.
Like the pancakes my daughter made last time, with eggs and wild onions, they tasted especially delicious and he ate six in one go.
Thinking of the taste now, I can’t help but feel greedy.
Captain Li took a deep breath and took out a few food coupons from his pocket and put them on the table: "We will definitely not take a single needle or thread from the people. You must accept these."
Secretary Song accepted it without hesitation: "You are really good comrades."
However, when Captain Li and the others heard this, they all felt that he was speaking sarcastically.
Secretary Song had already greeted them warmly: "Come and eat quickly. The food tastes great, right? I'm not bragging, my daughter's cooking skills are first-rate."
In fact, Secretary Song is also feeling very bitter. Not to mention them, even he himself is not used to the food at all.
There is really no oil or water in it, and only a little salt is added. You can imagine how it tastes.
But he still has to pretend that the food tastes delicious.
Anyway, he simply poured some loofah and egg drop soup, mixed it with the rice, and was finally able to swallow it.
Captain Li took a bite of rice, but the rice bran made his throat ache and he couldn't swallow it.
But even he didn't dare to let anyone catch him wasting food, so he glared at his daughter and said, "Eat it all up, don't leave a single grain of rice."
Everyone ate a bowl of rice with great difficulty. Even when Secretary Song said there was still rice in the big pot, no one went to get more.
After everyone finished eating, Captain Li also spoke up: "Secretary Song, I heard from the secretary of Lingtou Village that your family split up just to raise more chickens, ducks and geese?"
There are not many people who can make him suffer, and now that he has suffered a loss, of course he wants revenge.
He specifically pointed out Secretary Su of Lingtou Village because he wanted to embarrass Secretary Song and make them enemies.
Secretary Song cursed his former in-laws in his heart, but he looked surprised: "When a tree grows big, it branches out; when a tree grows big, it branches out."
"Now that men and women are equal, my family is looking for a live-in son-in-law."
"In the future, my other two daughters will also marry husbands, and they will have several children. If we don't divide the family, there will be more than ten or twenty people in this big family. Who is willing to serve them?"
"Also, the sisters are petty and calculative. They often quarrel over cooking and washing dishes. They always accuse us of being partial. I get annoyed listening to them. Now that we have separated, they can each live their own lives. How much easier will that be? I can have peace of mind too."
Now that the family is divided, there is no land to be divided, but we can enclose more private plots and raise more chickens and ducks.
But the downside is that if we need to dig canals, ponds or reservoirs, every family has to send one person to do the work.
But now the reservoir in the village has been dug, and there is no need to dig a canal for the time being.
In addition, there are no specific taxes to pay after the separation.
Especially now, with the planned economic system in place, land is collectively owned and rural people only have the right to use the land but not the ownership of the land.
That is, work points will be calculated separately, and everyone will receive their own points when the time comes.
After hearing this, Captain Li looked at Secretary Song, wondering if this man was wise but pretending to be foolish, or if he was really so honest that he would expose his family's dirty laundry to the public.
He was still unwilling to give up, and said calmly: "Then do you mind if we go take another look?"
That’s right, they had already visited Secretary Song’s home before.
I also saw three chickens, three ducks, and three geese kept together in a pen.
But they didn't do it at that time because they thought there would be stewed chicken and braised duck on the table for lunch today, so they decided to let Secretary Song go.
But unexpectedly, I didn’t even see any chicken feathers at noon, so don’t blame them for coming to cause trouble.
Secretary Song nodded: "Okay, let's go."
When I came to Secretary Song's house again, I saw Wu Xiu holding a bowl of porridge and eating it at the door.
Seeing a large group of them coming over, Wu Xiu lowered his head with a cowardly look on his face: "Boss, have you eaten? I didn't cook for lunch, so I ate the leftover rice soup from the morning."
Secretary Song waved his hand at her and said, "Okay, I've already eaten. You can just eat the leftovers. It can also save some firewood."
When Captain Li’s daughter heard this, she stared at Secretary Song with wide eyes. She couldn’t believe that there would be such a stingy person in the world.
When they walked in, they saw smoke still coming out of the stove in the yard.
Chu Tong and her daughter were still cooking lunch. They cracked an egg and cooked some noodles. When they saw them come in, the mother and daughter put the noodles into bowls and went back into the house to eat lunch.
When I went to the other room, I saw Chu Hong and Gu Ci already eating.
The only thing they ate was beans and egg fried rice, which not only smelled good but also looked delicious.
Chu Hong looked alert when she saw them: "What are you doing here?"
Captain Li's daughter sneered: "Your food is good, right?"
"Of course." Chu Hong said proudly, "My husband is an educated youth, and my parents-in-law send him more than ten yuan every month. How can we not live well?"
Wu Wei looked around after entering the house, but didn't see Chu Dan. He couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't all your family members at home?"
It’s not that he still misses Chu Dan.
He likes gentle lesbians, but last year, the Song sisters beat him up.
This happened more than once. This was a great humiliation for him. Now he wanted to take the opportunity to make things difficult for Chu Dan.
Let her see that the wife she married is much better than her.
To put it bluntly, I just want to see her envious and jealous.
Chu Hong looked at him and said, "Hey, aren't you the gay man who wanted to date my sister before? You haven't forgotten my sister yet? No wonder, my sister is pretty, and no wonder you can't stop thinking about her."
