Chapter 83 1964 is coming

At the end of the year, the brigade distributed grain and slaughtered the New Year pigs for meat. However, because Gu's father was the only one working in the fields to earn work points, he did not get much meat, only two kilograms.

Wu Sanfeng said, "My uncle's son and daughter-in-law both work in the county, so they have plenty of pork to eat. They can eat pork once a month."

This is true. Su He and Gu Jianhua each have one kilogram of meat coupons per month, so they can eat meat at least once a month.

It was something that Wu Sanfeng could not envy.

Of course, Wu Sanfeng didn't say much. She divided the meat and went home with her mother-in-law Zhang Xiuying to eat the meat. There were many people in the second branch of the Gu family, so they got a lot of meat.

Have a meal today and save the leftovers for the New Year.

Although Su He's family only received two pounds of meat, they had enough meat to eat during the New Year. Su's father sent half a pig's head, and the things sent by her eldest brother and sister-in-law also arrived.

My eldest brother and his wife sent me two bottles of maltose, two bags of milk candy, meat coupons, grain coupons, cotton coupons and other coupons that are used nationwide. Gu Jianhua still has the grain coupons he brought back last year, but the meat coupons have been used up, so this is the perfect time to get them.

In addition to these, there are also two sets of clothes made for the two babies, one set for winter, cotton-padded clothes, and one set for spring and summer, thin clothes.

Su He guessed that these two sets of clothes should have been made by his aunt, his eldest sister-in-law's mother.

After the brigade distributed the grain, Gu's father bought another 300 kilograms of grain from the brigade, 100 kilograms for his colleague Su He, and 200 kilograms for his own family.

The food that my colleague Teacher Lin from Suhe wanted was coarse grains and corn kernels. The food that our family needed included coarse grains and fine grains, such as millet, buckwheat noodles, and sorghum rice, so we bought some of them.

The 100 kilograms of food were delivered to Teacher Lin's home the next day. Teacher Lin was very grateful. She was also a real person and did not say anything. She directly gave Su He a ticket.

Two meat coupons and five milk powder coupons.

"Teacher Lin, I've taken the milk powder coupons, but you can take the meat coupons back. You guys keep them. It's almost the New Year. If you give them to us, you won't have meat to eat." Su He returned the meat with a smile.

Teacher Lin refused. "Girl, we still have two sex coupons. We didn't use the ones from last month. You must take these."

It's a give and take, and if someone buys food for you, it's only right to give them two meat coupons. As for the milk powder coupons, Teacher Lin thinks they may not be very useful, because Teacher Su's two children are already one year old and probably don't drink milk anymore.

But since they have been changed, I can give away a bunch of them.

Maybe out of respect, he will help buy food next year.

"Then I'll take one, Teacher Lin, and you can keep the other one for yourselves."

Su He drew a meat ticket and returned it. This time Teacher Lin did not refuse. She said, "Teacher Su, if you need my help in the future, just tell me."

Su He nodded and said okay.

He didn't stay long and just said a few words before coming out.

Su He is not a good person, she just buys food for others when they ask her to. But Teacher Lin is different, she is a nice person.

I have helped Su He at school, although they were all small things.

For example, when she first joined the school as a teacher, there were many things she didn't understand, and it was Teacher Lin who helped her answer them. Another example was when she was pregnant, Teacher Lin would make hot water for her and was very caring towards her.

In short, in Su He's eyes, Teacher Lin is a very enthusiastic older sister. She has told Su He in detail about her teaching experience, childbirth experience, and childcare experience.

So when Teacher Lin asked her to help buy food, she did not refuse. Otherwise, if it were someone else, she would have refused long ago.

Of course, Su He had discussed this matter with Teacher Lin and asked them not to make it public. Teacher Lin himself also said that he would not tell the matter in the office or in front of other teachers.

If this is the case, what should we do if other teachers ask Teacher Su to buy things for them? Teacher Lin is already in his thirties and knows what to do.

It's almost the end of the month, so it's better to prepare New Year's goods and sell meat as soon as possible.

Gu Jianhua and his wife from Su He live with their parents, so they don’t have to buy New Year’s goods alone. Their mother can be responsible for buying them.

The candy shop owner bought a pound of fruit candy, two pounds of egg cakes, two pounds of baked apples and peach cakes, a pound of dried sand apples, and a bag of apples. Su He could tell at a glance that these were apples produced in the orchard they had visited before.

In addition, I also bought two kilograms of red dates. As for peanuts and melon seeds, there is no need to buy them as they are available in the village.

This is fruit, cake, candy and dried fruit.

For vegetables, in addition to meat, Gu's mother bought dried kelp, black fungus, dried mushrooms, and shrimps.

I don’t know who told Gu’s mother that Shopee can supplement calcium, so she bought some and said she would put some in every dish she cooks in the future, so as not to let her two babies suffer from calcium deficiency.

Because calcium deficiency can cause people to grow short, Gu's mother was afraid that her two grandchildren would not grow tall due to calcium deficiency, so she paid more attention to their diet.

He is already one year old and can stop breastfeeding, but his mother thinks that stopping breastfeeding will affect the growth of his two grandchildren, so she keeps him breastfeeding.

If the milk powder is not enough, we can switch to milk. The brigade has it anyway, so we can make a cup for them every day.

The eldest granddaughter and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of taking care of their father and mother.

Sometimes when the two kids are having fun, they throw things at their father, but he doesn’t get angry at all. Instead, he praises them by saying, “My eldest granddaughter/grandson is so amazing. They have such strong arms that they can throw things so far.”

When the grandparents hold the two babies, the children may slap them on the face because it is fun. The grandparents will not get angry but will continue to praise them as usual, saying that their granddaughter/grandson hits them well, hits them vigorously and has big hands.

Grandma loves her grandchildren, which is really different from parents.

If it were Su He, he would definitely be educated.

By the way, in addition to pork, Gu's mother also killed two chickens for the New Year, roosters, and they were little roosters that were bullied by the big roosters.

This big rooster really can't tolerate other roosters at all. For example, when the hen comes to feed it, it won't let other roosters eat and will peck at them one by one. But when the hens come over to eat, it is very happy.

Mother Gu could only feed the other roosters alone. These roosters were pitiful because their feathers were pecked by it, especially the feathers on their buttocks. They were completely bald. It was also very cold in the winter.

Gu's mother couldn't bear to see their butts frozen, so she killed them.

No, there were no other roosters in the flock, only the big rooster was left, and that was what it wished for.

Pork, chicken, and lamb.

Normally, if you have pork and chicken, you don't need to buy mutton, but since Su He likes it, Mother Gu asked Father Gu to buy it. If other people in the family want to eat mutton, they may not be able to get it.

But if Su He wants to eat, Gu's mother will be the first to do it.

A lot of mutton was bought, some for own use and some as gifts, of course, for Su's father and mother and Su He's second brother's family.

Since the marriage, during every Chinese New Year and other festivals, Gu Jianhua, the future son-in-law, must give his father-in-law mutton as a gift. When he proposed to Su He, Gu Jianhua brought over a leg of lamb.

There is nothing more practical than sending meat.

Su He thinks that their Meng Province is pretty good because there are lots of cattle and sheep, and at least it is more convenient to eat mutton than in other provinces.

After all, our brigade only has hundreds or even thousands of these livestock.

Also, their brigade should be richer than other places. When the calves grow up, they can be sold for money. When the lambs grow up, they can also be sold for money. In addition, goats can be raised to sell cashmere, and sheep can be sold for wool.

These are the team's income. Although they are sold to the country, the money is not much, but it is better than nothing.
