Chapter 21

Under the force of the Jiubao bully, Xiaomu watched the poor Mao Dan and the leftover son work.

There were not many things in the cellar, a few pieces of cabbage were brought up by the dog leftovers in a big basket; The worm's chestnut is also brought up.There were only these things in the cellar, and after they were brought up, everyone moved the things into the house together, and Jiu Bao finally helped carry the small bag of chestnuts, which was her work.

Looking at the few things piled up on the ground, Jiu Bao sighed: "Xiao Mu, this is probably all you have to eat in your family, you should save some food, and you will eat it until the beginning of next spring."

"Xiaomu, aren't you rich? You don't have enough to eat, so you just buy food!" Maodan was very persistent about the problem of eating, so he immediately came up with a solution for Xiaomu.

"You know what a fart, you are a foodie, you don't want to do anything but eat." Jiu Bao yelled out of his head after beating his hairy egg.

"Is my method not good? It's so cold, won't you freeze to death if you don't eat? Whatever it is, let's eat first." Mao Dan called out confidently.

"If you have money but no food stamps, how can you buy food? Besides, Xiaomu's money has to be spent until she can earn work points. Now you have spent all of it. What will you do in two years? Eat the wind and drink the smoke?" Nine Treasures Road.

"Don't you still have you? Aren't you good friends?" Maodan jumped out without thinking, "You go home and steal eggs from the old lady for Xiaomu to eat."

"Stupid!" Jiu Bao gave another slap in the face, "I can steal twice or three times a month, do you think your grandma is stupid? If you steal too much, you won't be able to steal it?"

Regardless of the red-faced dispute between the two of them, after opening each bag and looking at it, Xiaomu curled his lips in his heart: potatoes are bigger than ping pong balls, not as big as eggs, and sweet potatoes are bigger than potatoes, which are about the same size as eggs.

As for the corn, it is incomparable to the corn in the small wooden space. It is thin and shriveled, about the size of a carrot, and if it is all smashed into corn kernels, it can probably yield more than a dozen catties of grain.With just this little food, it will take about five months to eat until the spring of next year. Even if Xiaomu has a small appetite, he will starve to death.This is not the south either, the seasons are like spring, and you can stick to it by finding some wild vegetables, but here in the north, there is a world of ice and snow, and nothing but snow is soil.

Xiaomu asked Goushengzi to help move the charcoal brazier into the house, and also moved the small bench.

"What is Xiaomu going to do?" Mao Dan asked.

"What can she do? Move the charcoal basin into the house, and she will go to sleep on the kang. Why don't you sleep in heavy snow? If you fall asleep, you won't be hungry and save food. Could it be that she is on the kang in the inner room and left the charcoal basin in the outer room?" You're so stupid!" Jiu Bao finished angrily, and followed Xiao Mu and Gou Shengzi into the house.

As a result, Xiaomu threw sweet potatoes, potatoes, and those chestnuts that were infested with insects into a charcoal basin to roast. After a while, the aroma filled the room. I have to praise that although potatoes and sweet potatoes are small in size, they are pure natural without chemical fertilizers. , and it has not been mutated, and it tastes great.

Maodan was determined not to leave, and Jiubao and Goushengzi couldn't resist the temptation, so they ate together.

After the four children had a tea party all afternoon, Xiao Mu basically had a better understanding of this era.

This is really the era of Xiaomu's guess. Xiaomu's understanding of this era, in addition to the introduction of Jiubao and Gou Shengzi just now, Xiaomu has also read a lot of Internet articles and TV dramas of this era in his previous life, so he knows a lot.

In 12, just [-] years after the founding of Huaguo, there are internal and external troubles. There are continuous natural disasters at home and brothers turning against each other. There is a shortage of all materials, so everything needs a ticket. Without a ticket, many daily necessities cannot be bought at all.

The small mountain village where Xiaomu lives is not bad. Although there is a shortage of food, it is said that people rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Almost all the men in the village can hunt, and in winter they can hunt some prey to subsidize their families. No one starved to death yet.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiubao, Goushengzi and Maodan were content to eat, and they were embarrassed before they left, because they ate the life-saving food for the poor, but they didn't hesitate at all when they ate.

Before leaving, Goushengzi strongly asked Xiaomu to lend him the gun tomorrow. He was going to go hunting in the mountains, hunting roe deer, pheasants, etc., and gave half of the prey to Xiaomu, so that Xiaomu could eat for a while, but Xiaomu refused .

Xiao Muxin said: This is not possible, the mountain behind the house is said to have wild wolves and blind bears, you take my gun and go up the mountain to hunt, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, wouldn't I be jointly and severally responsible?You are so small, how troublesome is it for your parents to come to your door?
You can't trust anyone casually, you have to protect yourself.This is what Xiaomu's mother taught by ear, how could Xiaomu forget.

Even though Jiu Bao was very kind to him and looked at the three little ones kindly, but how their parents were doing couldn't be determined right away, so the little orphan girl had better be careful.

At this moment, Jiu Bao put on a dog fur hat, Mao Dan put on a red scarf, and Gou Shengzi went out with his head bare.

Seeing the strange combination of these three and their strange outfits, Xiaomu, who gave it away, suppressed his laughter and felt sad. Just when the tears were about to come down, he was dealt a fatal blow by Maodan.

"Xiao Mu, hurry up and find your big flowered padded jacket. This big ragged padded jacket of yours was only worn when Grandpa Big Tiger was digging out dung."

Xiaomu was dumbfounded for a moment, raised his hands high, and didn't dare to let them go down, his eyes were full of pained expressions: "Modan, you... are you telling the truth?"

"Damn, what are you talking about? Why did you tell her? I searched the whole house and couldn't find a padded jacket. What if I don't wear this? Is it possible that if I don't wear a padded jacket, I'll freeze to death!" Jiu Bao Pointing to Maodan's forehead and said.

"Xiaomu's dog fur hat looks better than yours, old aunt, isn't it gone?" Mao Dan revealed again.

"I still have a dog fur hat? Am I so rich?" Xiaomu asked.

"Go to Lao Zhao's house, and you can find everything you lost. Can you go? Do you dare to go?" Gou Shengzi said sharply.

"My grandma said the same thing." Mao Dan continued to light the fire.

"I won't go, and I dare not go." Xiaomu said.

In fact, Xiaomu didn't care at all, and she wasn't sad about Zhao Mei's behavior, after all, she was just a passerby, or a passerby who took up the body of another girl.Xiaomu was even a little happy, because the more indifferent Zhao Mei was to her, the less they owed each other.It's just a little contempt, despise her ruthlessness to her daughter, and have infinite sympathy for the original owner Xiaomu, that little person.

In view of Xiaomu's fearful mood, Jiubao finally agreed with Xiaomu to go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to spend money to buy cloth and cotton to make padded jackets.

After carefully inquiring about the process, Xiaomu found out: Because the Chinese New Year will be next month, the production team provides oxcarts every three days to go to the people’s commune, mainly to go shopping in the commune’s supply and marketing cooperatives, and to sign up in advance, but no matter you Tickets are required for everything.

Xiaomu worried: How can I get tickets?
