Dressed to be a grandmother

Chapter 15

"Don't be dissatisfied. You didn't see how old your aunt was. It was when she was growing. What did our family eat for my aunt last time? Do you have any meat? ?"

"I..." How to say this, although there is no meat, but there are eggs, this is not a festival, the pigs in the village are not killed, where does the meat come from.

"Anyway, my aunt is the most important person in our village. She is helpless and alone now. We can't be able to honor my aunt and eat delicious food. How can I bother my aunt? Forgot what my ancestors said?"

"Father, I didn't forget, I am, I just say it casually, can't I just say it!"

"no!"

"If you don't have any prospects, you know to eat. It's alright. It's almost time. Go to the fields and work. You are so old and you want to eat with children. You have a face."

"..."

Li Laohei didn't expect that what he said to fool the children at home was actually true. Of course, this is another story.

I don't know how the village chief told Chen Zhaodi. Anyway, the villagers didn't have any big doubts about Bai Xi's family eating meat. That's the aunt. They don't have the ability to be filial, so they can't allow the aunt to eat meat by herself.

Bai An'an didn't go to Bai Xi's place to get the meat at noon, but in the end, when passing by in the evening, Bai Xi called him to get the meat.

At this moment, Bai Xi had already eaten dinner, and Bai Anan cleaned up the table and table.

"By the way, you happened to bring a bowl of meat to Xiaoliu's house. He went to the county seat, and he hasn't come back now."

The people in this village who can call the village head Xiaoliu are all older than the village head, and the reason why Bai Xi can call her is because she is old.

Hearing Bai Xi calling out the name of the village chief, Bai Anan twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded obediently.

"Auntie, the county town is not close to us. I guess the village chief didn't come back so soon."

"Okay, I get it. You can go back after you've packed up." Bai Xi waved his hand boringly.

For dinner, she drank porridge made of millet and dried sweet potatoes. Fortunately, she had goose meat, which was barely enough.

I don't know if Xiao Liu can get some refined grains back.

Ugh!
County here.

Low bungalows, narrow streets, and only three three-story buildings are the tallest buildings in Baizhou County.

Pedestrians on the street are almost all on foot, no bicycle has passed by for a long time, the street is gray, and most of the people on the street are dressed in gray, blue and black.

If Bai Xi sees it, he will definitely despise this world for being too poor.

At this moment, Chen Daliu was driving the ox cart away.

Now you have to go to supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to buy everything.

I heard that there are department stores in the city with more stuff in them.

Chen Daliu carried a litter of wild rabbits in his pocket and didn't know where to sell it. He couldn't sell it to a supply and marketing cooperative. Others still didn't catch him as a reselling.

So he walked around the street a few times, asked some questions, and went to the meat union factory.

The meat joint factory is not close to Baizhou County, and it is almost to Anshi.

Along the way, Chen Daliu murmured in his heart while driving the ox cart. The people in this city are good. If you eat commercial grain and have a job, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food and drink. Stay spacious.

Also, they only have so much food every month, and sometimes they don't eat as much as the people in their village.

The past two years have been bad, especially this year, when he saw people on the street just now, some of them were hungry and a little swollen, and those with yellow skin and thin skin could be seen everywhere.

He didn't even dare to say that he was carrying a bag of hares for fear of being robbed by the hungry red-eyed man.

I picked an old man who was old and looked honest and honest and asked a few questions, and then hurried to the meat factory.

Most of the meat in the meat factory is purchased from farms, chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep from the countryside, then slaughtered uniformly, and then distributed to the non-staple food stores of the supply and marketing cooperatives everywhere for sale.

But Chen Daliu didn't want to sell it to the meat union factory, so he didn't say how much money he would give.

And just now, he saw it in the supply and marketing cooperative in Baizhou County, and asked about it. The supply and marketing cooperative has not sold meat for three months, and it is estimated that the meat factory has not received any meat.

Therefore, he was thinking of the factories near the Meat Union Factory.

There is a mine in the outskirts of Anshi. The absentees there are said to have 42 catties of grain a month, and the wages are not bad. This kind of physical labor eats a lot, and it is impossible not to eat meat.

The workers there are generally willing to pay. After all, they go down the well every day and there is no meat to eat. Who can stand it.

When Chen Daliu arrived near the mine, it happened to be his commute to get off work.

Along the way, I saw workers in work clothes from time to time, talking and laughing together in twos and threes. Although they were yellow and skinny, their spirits were better than those on the streets of the county town.

Also, if you're too hungry, you can't go down the well.

Looking at the man's blue tomb coat and black pants, and at his clothes with a few patches, Chen Daliu felt a little embarrassed by the teasing eyes of passers-by.

But he thought about it, what's the point? Hardship and simplicity are the peasant class. Besides, what's wrong with the patch? He didn't eat a bite of meat from these people. Instead, it's these people. If they want to eat some meat, they have to find their peasant brothers in the countryside. buy it.

Chen Daliu drove the ox cart to a stop at the corner of the corner, stared at the people commuting to and from get off work for a while, and then pinpointed a person who seemed to need to buy meat, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Big brother, no, it's a comrade, comrade, do you want to buy rabbit meat?"

This man is in his fifties, with a hunched back, half-white hair, and some clothes that have been washed white, but there is a pen in his shirt pocket. It is not the first time that Chen Daliu has been to the county. , Generally not a teacher, but also a cadre. In short, he has some background and conditions.

What's more, his ears were sharp, and when he heard this man came out just now, he was talking to his fellow travelers that he wanted to go to the hospital to see his daughter-in-law who had just given birth.

A man suddenly appeared beside the man who was on his way with his head down and asked him if he wanted to buy rabbit meat. He was stunned.

The man looked at Chen Daliu and saw that Chen Daliu was dressed in an authentic rural peasant dress, with patches on the knees of his trousers and his buttocks.

This man is not stupid. After being surprised, he hurriedly asked, "Rabbit meat? Where can I buy it?"

"Comrade, just tell me if you want it or not. If you don't, I'll ask someone else." Chen Daliu was about to leave. When he went out, his aunt said that if you can sell it, you can sell it. If you can't sell it, don't force it. The people in the city are cunning.

If Bai Xi knew about Chen Daliu's inner activity, she would definitely smash the table angrily. Her original words were to let him watch the sale and bring it back if he couldn't sell it. Pay attention to safety on the road and don't be deceived.
