Chapter 235 Another visitor
Chu Dan sighed helplessly, "They always assign these people to our side. We don't have much good land here. Now we have to support a few more people?"
She stared at Chu Hong and said earnestly, "Sister, no matter how rich you are, don't be too generous to these people. You are already burdened enough now."
There are four old people and three young ones in Lao Chu's group.
Every month, the brigade only distributed 20 kilograms of coarse grains and 5 kilograms of fine grains to each of them.
Coarse grains include corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
Fine grains are wheat and rice.
With this in mind, I can only eat it for half a month at most, and I can only eat half full at most.
Fortunately, my second sister secretly sent them some broken rice, and also secretly gave them some of the delicious food cooked at home.
Although Chu Dan also disliked having too many burdens, all those small gains were earned by his second sister with her own ability.
The meat, oil, biscuits, fruits and other things in the house were mostly bought by my second sister and brother-in-law.
But she was also afraid that her second sister would lend a hand to these new people. There were too many burdens, and she was afraid that her second brother-in-law would be dragged down.
Chu Hong rolled her eyes at her and said, "You think too much. I'm not that kind, and I'm not a saint. Old Chu and the others are supported by your second brother-in-law, not me."
Then he asked her, "Did our dad buy some pig offal?"
I remember that last year, she complained that cleaning pig offal was too troublesome, and thought that with her own ability, she could also eat chicken, duck, fish and meat in turn?
But now I realize that I was really overthinking.
First, there were no tickets, and the price of meat on the black market was too high.
Another thing is that nowadays, fat people are rarely seen even in cities, let alone in the countryside.
Their whole family got round, and everyone looked so happy.
One can tell at a glance that this person is well-fed and well-drinking.
This is not a good thing for them, so they will not go out of their way to buy meat on the black market.
Every month when Gu Ci went to the post office to collect money, he would buy some chicken, duck, fish or meat to improve his food.
Or when Chu Hong and Secretary Song went to the city to report on their work, they would find a way to bring back some food.
Chu Dan slapped his forehead and said, "I was in a hurry to come back and report the news, but I forgot to ask. I'll go check it out again."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran out.
Soon, Chu Dan came back with a basket on his back, unable to hide his joy: "Dad said the pig's offal was gone, leaving only a pig's foot and three large bones, so he bought them all."
Nowadays, pig's feet are not attached to the trotter, it is just a section of pig's feet, which looks like it is all skin and tendons, with most of the bones.
Therefore, many people are reluctant to buy it, thinking that it is not real meat.
But Chu Dan, who has eaten a lot of it, now knows that whether it is pig trotter soup, big bone soup, or bone marrow soup, they are all extremely delicious.
Now she agreed with what her second sister said. It couldn’t be blamed on the bad ingredients, it could only be blamed on the poor cooking skills.
"Then take some straw and roast the pig's trotters on the fire." Chu Hong had already prepared the meal, so she immediately lay down on the recliner and told her, "Then soak the bones in clean water."
Nowadays, most foods are natural and pollution-free.
However, there are a lot of hairs on pig's trotters, and they have a bit of odor. You can roast them over fire to remove the hairs and odor.
Chu Dan responded and went about doing what her second sister had instructed.
Chu Hong couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't mom and big sister come back yet?"
"Are you just watching the fun?" Chu Dan sighed, "I don't know where you are going to assign them."
After a while, Secretary Song and his men came back.
Wu Xiu first asked, "Did we make extra lunch? We need to bring a bowl to them."
Chu Tong had already arrived in front of the stove. She lifted the lid of the wooden pot and saw that the middle pot contained cooked rice and the small pot contained greasy fried rice.
She then filled three large bowls of cooked rice and put them in the basket. She saw two plates of fried beans on the table and brought a bowl of beans: "Then I'll take them there first?"
Secretary Song nodded: "Okay, let them eat and rest there for a while."
Chu Hong was a little curious about what the newcomers looked like, so she stood up and said, "Sister forgot to bring chopsticks. I'll take them to them."
Three men, two adults and one child, are now arranged to stay in an empty room at the village committee.
As soon as the two sisters entered, they saw their wary eyes.
Song Dongzheng still remembered Chu Tong. When he knew that she was the daughter of Secretary Song, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Jiang Mingche had subconsciously hidden his son behind him.
The main reason is the earth-shaking changes and devastating experiences in the past two months, which made them like frightened birds.
Chu Hong also saw their subconscious actions, and looking at their vigilant eyes, she knew that they had not had an easy time these days.
Looking at their hair, which looked like it had been bitten by a dog, and their exposed hands and feet, all had scars.
Chu Hong couldn't bear to watch it.
They didn't even have shoes to wear.
But even with such a sloppy and haggard appearance, Chu Hong could still tell that their facial features were quite good.
If you take good care of it, it will definitely be more pleasing to the eye.
She was now a little curious about their original families and jobs.
At this moment, the compassionate Chu Tong stepped forward and said gently: "Don't be afraid, you are already in our village. As long as you work hard, no one will embarrass you."
"Come on, let's eat first?"
When Song Dongzheng saw the white rice, his stomach started to growl.
"Thank you." Song Dongzheng did not refuse and served a bowl to Jiang Mingche first: "Let the child eat."
Then he picked up a bowl of rice and started eating.
Chu Tong also stood up and left: "You can keep the dishes and chopsticks. Take a rest after eating. My dad will come over to arrange accommodation for you later."
The child ate a big bowl of rice and was considered full. The two grown men only ate one bowl of rice. They were definitely not full, but they were not starving either.
Song Dongzheng leaned against the wall, his eyes flickering: "I didn't expect that they could eat white rice on a regular basis."
With such a short time, it would definitely not be possible to cook it now. This must be what they eat at noon.
They had heard that life in the countryside was difficult and that they had to fill their stomachs with wild vegetable porridge, so they felt uneasy.
Now I realize that the food in the countryside is pretty good.
As for the rice bran in the broken rice, you can also ignore it.
Because they no longer have the conditions to be picky.
Jiang Mingche held his son, who dozed off after eating, in his arms and whispered, "Don't expect too much. This is the food of the secretary's family. It doesn't mean that everyone in the village can eat like this."
"Besides, with our status, we can probably only get some coarse food."
Song Dongzheng smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Hey, can't you just let me have a sweet dream first?"
Then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I hope we can all survive."
They were all originally from Nanshi and just knew each other without much friendship. It was only because their elders were abroad and were ## by someone that they encountered the misfortune.
