After returning home, Xu Jianguo looked at Funiu who was sleeping in a spread-eagle position, and felt both amused and helpless, thinking that this girl was still as unrestrained as ever.
Looking at the time, it was just past 3 a.m. Xu Jianguo lay back on the kang and fell asleep soon after.
With the sound of a rooster crowing, Xu Jianguo woke up and looked at the sleeping little girl. Xu Jianguo got up and went to the yard to stretch his body.
Returning to the main room, he took out white flour, eggs, canned luncheon meat, milk and two packs of pickled mustard greens from the space.
I went to the vegetable garden to pick a tomato and took two potatoes from the warehouse.
Pour the flour into a bowl, add a little well water, and use chopsticks to slowly stir the flour into lumps for later use.
Dice the tomatoes, take out a grater from the space supermarket, grate the peeled potatoes into shreds, find a bowl and mix some batter, pour the potatoes into the bowl and mix well.
Heat oil in a pan, and as the aroma spreads, a hearty breakfast is ready.
"Ga ga!" The little girl's voice came from the room.
After Xu Jianguo had packed up, he pushed the door open and entered the house. He saw Funiu sitting on the kang, rubbing her eyes with one little hand and stretching out the other hand for Xu Jianguo to hold her.
He walked over, picked up the little girl, and asked, "Has our little lazy pig woken up?"
"Haha, I'm not a lazy pig. I dreamed of something delicious, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the delicious food disappeared."
Looking at the saliva hanging from the corner of the little girl's mouth, Xu Jianguo smiled and said, "So you are not a lazy pig, but a greedy cat!"
"Well, I'm a greedy cat. Haha, is there anything delicious? I can smell the fragrance."
"Yes, brother has already prepared breakfast. Let's go wash our faces and brush our teeth now, and then we can eat, okay?"
"Okay, go quickly!"
Xu Jianguo took out hot water from the space and took Funiu to wash up. Then he folded the bedding and put the food on the table.
Tomato and egg dumpling soup, shredded potato pancakes, fried eggs, fried luncheon meat and pickled mustard greens, as well as milk for Funiu.
"Haha, Funiu is so happy. She has never eaten these things before when she was in the mountains with her master."
"If you like it, eat more. I will make it for you every day in the future."
"Haha, I miss Master a little bit. He has never eaten it either."
After hearing what Funiu said, Xu Jianguo sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say. After all, this little guy had lived with the old Taoist priest for three years, and it was not something he could forget just like that.
"It's okay. When your master comes back, I'll do it for him again, okay?"
"Yeah, okay!"
Xu Jianguo knew Funniu's eating habits, so he drank a sip of the dumpling soup first, and then put the fried egg and luncheon meat into Funniu's bowl.
For the two of them, one big and one small, every meal is like a battle, as they are afraid that if they eat slowly, the food in front of them will run away.
"I have to teach this little guy to eat more elegantly in the future, otherwise when he finds a partner, he will easily scare the guy away." Xu Jianguo thought to himself.
After letting Funiu drink the milk, Xu Jianguo began to clean up the dishes.
The food supplements over the past two days have made Funiu's originally thin and sallow face gain some flesh, and her complexion has become much rosier, which makes Xu Jianguo, the breeder, extremely proud.
I told Funiu that we were going to the county town today, and the little girl nodded obediently and agreed.
After putting two fruit gummies in her pocket and asking her to share them with Shi Tou, Xu Jianguo carried Fu Niu to the home of the village chief Li Mancang.
When they came outside, Li Mancang and his family were eating in the yard. Seeing Xu Jianguo coming in with Funniu in his arms, Xiao Shitou hurried over and pulled Funniu to the dinner table.
"You little brat, you have a lot on your mind!" Li Mancang scolded him with a smile when he saw his son's actions.
"Jianguo, come and eat with us."
"Uncle, we've already eaten. You guys eat first. I'll take Funiu out for a walk. Come here, Funiu. Let your brother Shitou eat first. We'll come back later."
"It's okay, I'm done eating. It's just right, I want to talk to you about something."
"What's going on?"
"Your uncle Lao Nian's daughter, Li Meifeng, is ill. She is in charge of distributing farm tools in our brigade. Could you help me out today? I'll distribute them in the morning and collect them in the evening. This way, you won't be late for your trip to the county town."
"Okay, no problem. I'll go over now. If anyone goes early, I'll send it to them first."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get you the warehouse key."
On August 17, 1958, the top leaders of Longxia State proposed the goal of producing 10.7 million tons of steel, which triggered a nationwide steel-making campaign.
Therefore, in this era, it was rare to see ironware in ordinary people's homes, and many unnecessary ironware were handed over to the state to support the country's decisions.
From this we can also see that although people's lives are relatively hard, as long as the country needs it, the people will definitely support it.
This is why many elderly people in later generations sighed when recalling this period that although materials were scarce, it was a prosperous and beautiful era.
Like other villages, the number of agricultural tools in Sandaliang Village has not reached saturation. That is to say, based on the number of villagers, it is not possible for each villager to have one agricultural tool for the time being.
Therefore, in order to earn more work points, many strong laborers from various families would go to the warehouse early to queue up just to get farm tools. If they came late, there was a high possibility that they would not get farm tools. No farm tools meant reduced efficiency, and reduced efficiency meant they could not earn full work points. Fewer work points meant less food.
Therefore, farm tools are vital to villagers.
There are still about 20 days left before the autumn harvest in Sandaliang Village. The recent work mainly focuses on weeding and pest control, so sickles and hoes have become the main agricultural tools.
Xu Jianguo came to the brigade warehouse with the key. At this time, there were already more than a dozen people squatting on the ground in front of the warehouse door. Some people who were familiar with Xu Jianguo greeted him with a smile.
"Jianguo, are you going to work today?"
"No, Uncle Lao Nian's sister Meifeng is sick. I came here today to pick her up and distribute farm tools to everyone."
"Oh, that's great! Can we send it out now? If we send it out sooner, we can get to work earlier while the weather is cooler."
"Okay, I'll send it now."
When everyone heard this, they all stood up from the ground with happy expressions on their faces.
As the warehouse door was opened, Xu Jianguo began to distribute farm tools to everyone.
Xu Jianguo would ask everyone whether they needed a hoe or a sickle, provide farm tools according to different needs, and then keep records.
In the middle, Li Mancang came over to take a look and found that the distribution of farm tools was in order. He nodded involuntarily, and then went to the fields to assign tasks to everyone.
As the last piece of farm tool was distributed, Xu Jianguo put his pen and notebook into the drawer and said to the people still standing in front of the warehouse, "Today's farm tools have all been distributed. Everyone, come early tomorrow and get to work!"
"Why? How can we work without farm tools?"
A discordant voice rang out among the crowd.
