Tan Qingzhou never expected that his kind act of delivering grain would result in such a scolding from his aunt.
He felt very uncomfortable, but still asked with a furrowed brow.
"My mother asked me to deliver the grain. Where are my maternal grandfather and eldest uncle?"
Hearing Tan Qingzhou say that, Guo Cuifen's eyes lit up, and she then noticed a handcart parked in front of her house.
There were two burlap sacks on the cart, which looked like they were indeed filled with grain.
"Hey, why didn't you say so sooner?"
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, touched the sack on the vehicle, and realized that it was probably filled with sweet potatoes.
Tan Qingzhou was about to ask more when he heard his aunt say without turning her head, "Your maternal grandfather and uncle are still eating in the cafeteria!"
After saying that, he looked around and, seeing that no one was watching, took out his keys from his waistband and called on Tan Qingzhou to help carry the grain into the yard.
Then he had Tan Qingzhou move the cart into the yard as well, and then he furtively closed the yard gate.
"What cafeteria?"
When Tan Qingzhou heard his aunt say that his maternal grandfather and uncle were eating in the cafeteria, he was relieved that nothing had happened.
Then another question arose in my mind: why did my grandfather and uncle eat at the cafeteria instead of at home?
Thinking about the direction my aunt came from, could it be that she had just finished eating and returned as well?
Thinking of this, Tan Qingzhou naturally realized that from the time he entered the village to the time he knocked on his grandfather's door, it was as if everyone in the village had disappeared. No one responded, and not even a dog barked.
It seems everyone has gone to the so-called cafeteria for meals.
Therefore, Tan Qingzhou couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Guo Cuifen.
Seeing Tan Qingzhou ask this question, Guo Cuifen puffed out her chest and said proudly, "This is how the G family takes care of us farmers. Our Changfeng Brigade is the first brigade in the county to implement the communal dining system."
From now on, no household will need to cook for themselves; they can simply go to the canteen to eat at mealtimes.
There was plenty of food to eat, so that everyone would have the energy to work.
Your maternal grandfather and eldest uncle haven't eaten enough yet; they'll come back once they've eaten.
When the captain told everyone about it, they were all stunned.
Where in the world is there such a good thing?
However, today is the third day that the village has started serving meals in a communal pot. Everyone goes to the canteen to eat every day and leaves with a full stomach each time.
Whether you want to believe it or not, you probably can't!
She's a woman; even if she can eat a lot, there's a limit.
Guo Cuifen slowly made her way home only after her stomach was so full she couldn't eat anymore.
Unexpectedly, they encountered their sister-in-law's son delivering grain.
Although everyone eats from the same pot now, this grain was sent by my sister-in-law. Since it was given to the Xing family, how could they accept it?
Moreover, she was terrified of being hungry.
The most crucial issue is that the communal cooking system is still uncertain when it will end.
Hearing his aunt say that, Tan Qingzhou's expression changed.
"Community meals?"
He exclaimed, remembering what his aunt had said: as long as he had a good job, he could eat in the cafeteria and there would be plenty of food.
That kind of life is simply like living in paradise.
Hearing that everyone could have a full meal, Tan Qingzhou was very tempted.
Seeing the envious expression on his face, Guo Cuifen smiled smugly.
“Qingzhou, actually your father is the village chief. As long as you go back and ask your father to cook communal meals, you can have enough to eat, just like in our Changfeng Brigade.”
