Chapter 226 Cancellation of the Canteen

After a pause, Liu Yinyin continued, "Just now, Widow Li also came home."

Gu Cheng couldn't remember this person for a moment: "Which Widow Li?"

Liu Yinyin cleared her throat: "Which Widow Li? That's... the Widow Li who got into trouble this morning."

Gu Cheng said "Oh" and asked in confusion: "What does she want to see you for?"

"......" Liu Yinyin suddenly lost interest and said indifferently, "It's nothing, she just wanted to borrow some food, but... I didn't lend it to her."

Gu Cheng nodded. He never cared about these things.

Liu Yinyin was silent for a moment, then suddenly teased, "You men, do you like women like this?"

Gu Cheng was stunned: "...What woman?"

Liu Yinyin's face flushed slightly: "It's... a woman with big breasts, a big butt, and a charming smile?"

Gu Cheng coughed twice and almost bit his tongue: "...Speak seriously."

This woman is the same. She dares to say anything.

Liu Yinyin chuckled and said, "Is this considered indecent?"

To be more blunt, she hasn't even asked yet.

However, thinking that Gu Cheng was not very worldly-wise, Liu Yin stopped saying anything shocking.

After clearing the dishes, Liu Yinyin said to him, "How about going to my parents' place? Mom came this morning and asked us to go over and have a chat..."

There was nothing to do at home anyway, and there was even less work to do in the fields in the middle of winter.

Gu Cheng said, "Let's go tomorrow."

Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned. Just when she was about to ask him something, she noticed that the man's eyes had changed when he looked at her.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Who is being indecent in broad daylight?

I didn't go out again in the afternoon.

It's still very cold today, and it snows heavily every few days.

The snow on the mountain is already knee-deep, and no one dares to go up there right now.

After breakfast the next day, Gu Cheng swept the snow off the roof.

Afterwards, holding Gu Yanyan, the family of three prepared to go to Liu's house.

Liu Yinyin carried a basket of things, which contained two pounds of wild boar meat, twenty eggs, five pounds of white flour, and two packs of snacks.

It is this year's New Year gift to the Liu family.

Knowing that Gu Cheng would go home for the New Year, Liu Yinyin waited for him to come back to give him New Year gifts.

During the cat winter, the whole Liu family is at home.

Liu Laifu was sitting at the door basking in the sun, and Gu Cheng sat down to talk to him.

Liu Yinyin gave the things to Jiang Cuihua.

Jiang Cuihua was busy frying peanuts in the kitchen. Two days ago, Liu Yinyin also gave her five pounds of peanuts and asked her to help fry one.

This was also the case in previous years. People would fry some peanuts or other snacks before the New Year to entertain guests during the New Year.

Because she was going to join the army, Liu Yinyin didn't prepare much snacks this year.

"Mom, why don't I see my third brother and his wife?" Liu Yinyin asked.

Jiang Cuihua sighed, "They also went to their in-laws' house today to celebrate the New Year."

Huang Xiaoyue’s belly was getting bigger and it was inconvenient for her, but the New Year was coming soon, so she had to go back.

Seeing the things Liu Yinyin brought, Jiang Cuihua said, "In the future, just two things will be enough. Don't take so many."

Huang Xiaoyue went back to her parents' home to give New Year gifts and only brought two things.

The Liu family’s conditions are relatively good. Other families simply wouldn’t send anything.

In times of famine, it doesn’t matter so much, as long as the thought is there.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I won't be able to send it to you when you're not at home in the future."

When she joins the army, she won't be able to send food and daily necessities home from time to time like she does now.

Jiang Cuihua said indifferently: "If you can't send it, don't send it."

In the past two years, thanks to my daughter and her husband, life at home has been much better than before.

Several of my sons have already married and had children. Unless there are any unexpected events, things will definitely get better and better in the future.

She is now looking forward to a good harvest next year, nothing else matters to her.

As the two chatted, they brought up the topic of canceling the cafeteria.

Jiang Cuihua was in a good mood: "I asked your Aunt Chunfang yesterday afternoon. The canteen in the village will most likely be cancelled. By then..."

After a pause, Jiang Cuihua showed a hint of joy on her face: "Your Aunt Chunfang said that because of the famine for two consecutive years, the people did not have any food stored, so the higher authorities decided to return the private plots to everyone so that everyone can grow some food on their own."

They are all genuine country people and have an obsession with the land.

Even though it's just a few acres of private land, it gives the villagers hope, doesn't it?

Liu Yinyin was happy for the villagers from the bottom of her heart.

As for herself...

Liu Yinyin's family also had their own private plot of land before.

Thinking about her daughter going to follow the army, Jiang Cuihua muttered: "If you don't live in the village, I don't know if you will still have your own land when the time comes."

It's not that I'm afraid of wasting the land. The young lady is not at home, but there are so many people in the Liu family, so there is no problem at all for them to help clean up the private plot.

Liu Yinyin said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if there is none. If I don't live in the village, I shouldn't occupy the land. As long as I don't take the house back, it's fine."

"That's definitely not the case." Jiang Cuihua said firmly, "There's no reason to take the house back."

Not to mention that the daughter-in-law still has a rural household registration, how much help have the daughter-in-law and her husband provided to the village in the past two years?

You can't just kill the donkey after it's done with its work, can you?

It won’t be the best. If she has time in the future, Liu Yinyin still wants to come back and live here.

She had thought it through. She would definitely find a way to keep the house. If that didn't work, the worst that could happen was that she would spend some money to buy it.

We are all from the same village, so the village chief shouldn't be so heartless.

"I also heard from your Aunt Chunfang..." Jiang Cuihua remembered another thing, "She said that the higher-ups seem to be arranging for educated youth to come down again, and the village chief is almost worried to death."

Of course, not only the village chief, but the villagers are also worried.

Not to mention the famine in the past two years, even in good years.

There is only so much food in the fields. If the higher-ups send people down, isn't that stealing their food?

What was said above sounds good. Arranging educated youth to go to the countryside is to help them build new countryside.

But the people in the village are all native farmers. Why do they need a group of city people to help them build the countryside?

"Another group of educated youth are going to the countryside?" At this critical juncture, the higher-ups actually arranged for educated youth to go to the countryside. Liu Yinyin was quite surprised.

"That's right." Jiang Cuihua muttered, "I am getting more and more confused about this world. You say... everyone wants to be a city dweller. Who would be willing to work in the countryside?"

Not only Liujia Village, but other villages also arranged for educated youth to go to the countryside, and some even arranged for several of them.

They are all young people in their twenties, which is strange.

Liu Yinyin knew that this was just the beginning, and in the future, more and more educated youth would go to the countryside.

It is not ruled out that there are indeed people who voluntarily go to the countryside.

However, most people were sent to the countryside because there were no jobs available in the city.
