Cuihua and her friends are least afraid of being investigated!
Why live such a cautious and timid life all the time?
Isn't it all so that my family can live a life where they don't go hungry?
If we're talking about the delicious aroma emanating from both houses, Cuihua has something to say about it too.
"Who doesn't want to prepare something nice for the New Year? We've been busy all year, and all we get is a few delicious aromas during the New Year holidays, and you're still not happy about it?"
"You guys have been coming to visit us all day, from one house to another, even looking into our main room and kitchen. Fine, you can look all you want, but we're all upright and honest, so we're not afraid of you looking. I just want to ask you guys who come to our two houses every day to gather information, have you noticed anything wrong with our house?"
"Aside from holidays when our two families manage to produce some aroma, have you ever smelled the delicious food we eat and drink every day?"
"If we really ate well every day, would we all still be so thin?"
Look how thin we've all become! Look at us, open your eyes wide and take a look.
Look at us, are we just eating too much and looking so prosperous? Compared to us, shouldn't everyone fatter than us be investigated?
Starting in the 1950s, they lived frugally, and the amount of food available to them on a regular basis would never exceed a week's worth.
The same goes for clothes; as long as they're wearable, they'll never buy new ones. As for the food at home, they'll only display it if other people have it.
Foods like refined grains, oil, seasonings, eggs, and seafood are all stored with the fourth brother.
They even hid their books, pens, bankbooks, and slightly new clothes.
You can imagine how many times these people came in and left empty-handed.
Even if they suspect something is amiss, without evidence, they can only be rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
Just as the Tang sisters were shouting "Investigate together," some onlookers began to sneak away.
As for the rest, their faces clearly show they're poor, so let's investigate them!
Those who fear investigation have already quietly withdrawn from this struggle.
After noticing these small details, Cuihua spoke to the officers in charge of law enforcement.
"See? As long as it doesn't affect you, shout as loud as you can."
If you say you're going to investigate, then investigate everything. Look how many people were here just now, and how many are here now?
These days, who isn't living for their own stomach? Who doesn't have their own little schemes?
Just because our two families have more capable people doesn't mean they should focus solely on our two families.
Look back at yourselves, who is missing from your lives?
Think about it carefully, has their house ever smelled delicious?
Don't let yourself be swayed by ill-intentioned people and lose your own judgment.
Reminded by Cuihua, the troublemakers on the scene indeed changed their tune like weather vanes, looking for new targets and muttering about what so-and-so had said or done.
After reading this, what else do the cadres of the commune and township not understand?
They admired Tang Cuihua's decisiveness and were convinced that the problems between the Tao and Tang families were not serious.
They just said that this wasn't the first time they'd conducted a search like this. Since they haven't found anything each time, it really proves that these people are making things up out of thin air and are just jealous of how many talented people someone else has.
Relatively speaking, it's not hard to guess that while there are many capable people in their family, there are also quite a few people they need to support!
No matter how many good things are sent back, there are too many people to eat them all. What can be left for them to check?
Cuihua had no money or grain to bribe these officials, after all, she was penniless and a bachelor.
After finding out the details, I simply said hello and quickly rode my bike back to work.
The Tao family members were the same; none of them took these officials seriously, and inviting them to dinner was simply out of the question.
If you've done nothing wrong and acted uprightly, why would you need to invite them to dinner?
Since they were willing to come, it proves that this is their job and they believe there is money to be made.
Not only did I not achieve anything after arriving, but I was also encouraged by some resentful people to go and investigate so-and-so's house.
The village chief and party secretary could only accompany them helplessly. The brigade leader was in charge of production, and with a single command, the people on site dispersed.
"You have enough food to eat at home, right? You don't value the food you can get by exchanging work points."
What are you all doing craning your necks like that? Get your ass up and get to work, carrying manure to fertilize the land!
After the crisis was resolved once again, the two families gathered together that evening to review the events and summarize the situation.
From now on, I will not make anything that emits a fragrance.
But that doesn't mean they don't eat good food.
Since stir-frying wasn't an option, they started making more foods with fillings, such as wontons, dumplings, steamed buns, and shumai.
All the nutrients are packed into an easy-to-eat filling, one bite at a time, who can find fault with that?
Xiao Jiu went home in early March and brought back a full 200 jin of rice, including millet and regular rice, as well as two 50-jin bags of flour.
They all have their own whole grains, and the regular employees all take home whole grains every month; they have never bought a single pound of refined grains.
The external world has made sure that those who need to see it have seen it, and internally, it is indeed necessary to eat these coarse grains mixed with refined grains.
In mid-June, Tao An took the high school entrance exam. After returning to school, he checked the answers and then hugged his grandparents, crying tears of joy.
He just felt that getting into high school was no problem. As for which high school he would get into, it would depend on how many points he would get in Chinese composition and politics.
After being constantly instructed and dragged around by his family to study for so long, Tao An finally felt relieved after the high school entrance exam. But before he could even go out and play, he was assigned to work in the production team again.
He knew that many eyes were watching their family, and given the family's circumstances, he was indeed the only one suitable for working. In order to be able to eat Hongjie's dumplings, cold noodles, and jelly every day, the boy was not afraid of hardship, fatigue, or sun. He ran to the production team to work every day, which earned him a lot of goodwill.
As soon as July arrived, the school became too hot to study, so a holiday had to be arranged, with classes resuming in early August for a period of one month.
"Are you going home? Or do you want to stay and do some practice problems together?"
Yuanyuan was a little reluctant to see Xiaojiu go home, but Xiaojiu felt that she had worked hard all year and wanted to take advantage of this summer vacation to have some fun.
So she chuckled twice and patted Yuan Yuan on the shoulder.
"Well, I'll leave my sister's studies to you. Although she has already passed the first year of junior high school, this is just the first step. There are still the second and third years of junior high school, and even the high school entrance exam in the future. You can study your own things during the day, and teach her when she comes back. It won't interfere with your work."
These days, Xiao Jiu is only using the raw grains he obtained from the cave, including the grains his family eats from there.
Before leaving, she left her second sister and the two elders of the Weng family with about a month's worth of food. Combined with their own monthly allowance, they would definitely be able to eat their fill.
Before deciding to go out and have fun, I have to go back to my hometown to get a letter of introduction.
