By the time everyone had finished sharing, it was already past time.
The whole family in the village went out to carry food home.
Every household has exchanged some more, as they are afraid that it will be worse next year, so they save more now so that they don’t have to starve.
Even Chen's father and mother had their own share of the 4,000 kilograms of grain, including 1,700 kilograms of corn kernels and 2,000 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. They also had some soybeans, mung beans and some beans.
Mother and father Chen were also generous, giving an extra 500 kilograms of corn and 500 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
I didn't think so much about it, but it was Su Xia who persuaded Chen's mother to change it.
Mother Chen thought that Su Xia was asking so much, so she went along with it.
Su Xia's own work points also increased.
There were more than 2,200 work points in total. Su Xia bought 800 kilograms of corn kernels, some soybeans, mung beans, and kidney beans. The rest were potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mostly Chinese cabbage. She didn't grow this herself.
Almost 300 kilograms of cabbage.
I spent another 500 kilograms of corn.
Su Xia looked at her pile of food and asked Chen's father to help send it back.
I and Chen's mother went home first.
Clean up the cellar and fill it up when it's full.
Ha ha.....
Su Xia felt that she had achieved food freedom.
Mother Chen looked at the happy Su Xia and wondered why she said so much.
"Old man, why do you need so much food? There will be new food next year. The old food is delicious!"
Su Xia looked at Chen's mother and saw that they were almost home.
"Mom, let's talk later"
After arriving at the old house, Su Xia began to tell Chen's mother about her plans.
"Mom, discuss with Dad tonight and leave enough food for you.
The rest will be exchanged for money and tickets. ”
Mother Chen was shocked: "Is this possible?
Besides, the captain also said that he would share some of it. ”
Su Xia looked at Chen's mother with disdain: "The government can only give you some compensation, and we are poor."
"Mom, think about the big factories in our county and the old workers. They didn't get any food, but they had money and tickets."
The more Chen's mother listened, the more excited she became.
Su Xia gave another strong answer: "While we are short of food now, let's sell some. The price will definitely be higher than what the government offers."
Mother Chen thought about it and was still a little worried.
"As a big family, you will make mistakes."
Su Xia rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, you forgot who you knew."
Only then did Chen's mother realize that her eldest daughter-in-law knew someone.
Then I started to get excited and thought about what to change.
Su Xia...
"Mom, I'm going to go back first. You can ask Dad and my second and third brothers to go directly to the cellar later."
Mother Chen happily agreed, and did not forget to tell Su Xia something.
Su Xia curled her lips. Ever since she knew she was pregnant, Chen's mother had been so cautious that she felt very scared.
I remember those time-travel movies I watched, and the mothers-in-law in them were not like Chen's mother.
Su Xia returned home and went to the cellar first to take a look. There should be no problem. Although there seemed to be a lot of grain, the corn actually had to be ground into flour before it could be used.
The only thing the village could do was to use a stone mill, which was a big burden. Whenever I wanted to eat, I could just ask Chen's mother for help.
She also wanted to eat freshly ground cornmeal, which must be more delicious than the genetically modified ones.
Captain Zhao here rode his bicycle to the county town in a hurry, and it was almost time for dinner.
Gu 놊 didn't have time to rest and went directly to the county town to see his leader.
The leaders who were busy eating were worried about where they could get food from as the central government ordered them to do.
The area under my jurisdiction only includes Zhaojia Village and three surrounding villages, where there is some harvest.
Other places are still hungry.
At this moment, there was a bang and the door was pushed open.
Looking at his secretary, he said helplessly: "Why are you rushing me? I'll be going to eat soon. Can't you see I'm busy?
Whatever the matter, just knock on the door. ”
After the secretary knew the purpose of Captain Zhao's visit, he didn't care about anything else and ran over directly.
The secretary ran to the leader and excitedly shouted "Leader...
Is there food? ”
The leader was confused: "No way, are you dreaming?"
Seeing that he believed in his leader, the secretary had no choice but to go to the front and bring Captain Zhao in.
"Come on...
Talk to your leader yourself. ”
The leader looked at the person who came. Is this the captain of Zhaojia Village? He is a very popular person now.
He happily asked the man to sit down: "Old Zhao, why are you here? Are you guys distributing food today? Why are you here for tea?"
Captain Zhao sat down stiffly and heard the joke.
He waved his hand quickly: "Leader, yes, I came here today to talk to you about something."
The leader became even more curious, but seeing the secretary's excitement, he thought it should be a good thing.
"oh....
Lao Zhao, just tell me what you have to say. The Party and the government will help you. ”
Captain Zhao is letting go now.
"Leader, I came here just to ask if you guys have enough food left?"
The leader was excited. Is this what he needs?
"Oh, Lao Zhao, do you know where it is?
You may be able to lie, but the higher-ups will start asking for food at this time, and as you know, there has been drought in the past two years, so where can we get it? ”
Thinking of this, he pulled out two handfuls of hair in worry.
Captain Zhao looked at his leader who was almost bald and seemed really worried.
Captain Zhao did not hesitate and told the government that his village had a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes and asked the government to buy them.
The shocked leader looked at Captain Zhao who was looking at him expectantly, and then looked at the secretary who was crying with excitement.
놊 asked in disbelief: "Really, Lao Zhao, there are so many left in your village."
Captain Zhao said sympathetically, "Well, after the accounting statistics were completed today, we found that the production volume has increased three times compared to previous years, and the size of the fish is quite large."
"Let it go too. I'll come over and ask you guys to collect it."
The other two heard it three times and were so shocked that they didn’t know what to say.
The secretary was anxious, seeing his leader staring at Captain Zhao with wide eyes, almost making him run away.
I can only shout anxiously: "Leader...
What are you thinking about? Speak quickly."
The leader reacted.
He stood up and prepared to go to Zhaojia Village in person.
"Let's go, Lao Zhao, and take a look at your village. We can still catch up with the grain distribution now, and we can also see how happy the people are."
Then he looked at the secretary at the side and said, "What are you doing standing there? Go find a few people and a car, and let's go and bring it back directly."
When the secretary heard this, he hurried out to find someone and a car.
Captain Zhao also followed happily. It was a great honor for the leader to go to the village.
Jianguo's wife is smart. Is this the benefit?
I still have to study. After this incident, it would be great if there was a private school in my village, so that the children in the village can study at home.
The secretary was also quick. Within ten minutes, he had found two military trucks, which had a lot of space.
The leader looked at the secretary with satisfaction, thinking that this person had caught up with the worms in his stomach.
The leader thought of the good harvest in Zhaojia Village, and thought about the three nearby villages, which were not much better, so it was a good time to distribute the grain. He walked around and brought it directly here.
The leader sat in the passenger seat and saw that Captain Zhao had not come up.
"Old Zhao, what's up, come up?"
Captain Zhao also wanted to ride, but then he thought of the bicycle: "Leader, I came here on a bicycle, and I have to ride it back to give it to the owner."
lead....
Bicycles are expensive.
Then he looked at the secretary next to him and said, "Go down and ride Captain Zhao's bicycle back."
secretary.....
Captain Zhao felt embarrassed looking at the secretary, but the leader was still urging him.
I could only give the car to others and climb in and sit down.
The secretary looked at the rear of the truck and had no choice but to ride his bicycle and follow it. Fortunately, it was far away.
