Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home.

Chapter 126 Longyang Town, food has been distributed
In the cold weather, having a bowl of dumplings at noon is the most enjoyable thing.

Half a cabbage with meat, the stuffing alone weighs three catties, and two and a half catties of flour.One person can eat eight taels on average, because it is hand-rolled, and the size is larger than the quick-frozen ones of later generations. Counting the packaged ones, one person can eat twenty.Put these eight taels of dumplings into the water, put some soy sauce in the bowl and put some dumpling soup, how can one person eat a catty of something useful.

To burn briquettes on a coal stove, first boil a pot of water with a hot water pot, and then boil a pot of water in a small pot.When Luo Cheng came back, the dumplings were put into the pot, and the dumplings were all wrapped.

The sound of Bian Sanlun's engine was not low. When Shi Shi in the yard heard the sound, she guessed that the elder brother had returned. She ran to the gate of the yard to see that it was indeed the elder brother who had returned.Immediately he turned his head and shouted to the people in the courtyard that the eldest brother was back, Luo Cheng entered the courtyard and realized that everyone was waiting for him to come back before putting the dumplings into the pot.

The pot is small, and you can only hold about [-] in one pot. If there are too many, it will not be easy to cook.The bowls and chopsticks are all set on the table, and seven people have to cook four or five pots, but the dumplings are cooked quickly, and it won't take long to cook while eating.If the water is low, you can directly heat the boiled water in the kettle.

The first pot was cooked very quickly, first ten dumplings were packed in a big bowl, even if it was a large bowl, ten dumplings would be almost as high as the bowl.

After filling it, no one ate it. They all waited for the second pot to be cooked, and when almost everyone had a bowl, they ate together.The same is true for the second pot. Put hot water in the pot, and the skin will be cooked in about 5 minutes. Even if the hand-rolled dumpling skin is thicker, seven to eight minutes will be enough.

The second pot of dumplings was ready, and I counted them when I placed them, and there were exactly ten in a bowl.Put the third pot first, and everyone can start eating when it is cooking.

"Thank you Comrade Luo Cheng for the hospitality, let's eat."

"Comrade Dai Qianqian, you're welcome."

Holding the bowl, when Luo Cheng was about to eat directly, Luo Cheng was almost amused by Dai Qianqian's serious words.But in this era, it is true that the partners will call comrades, Luo Cheng also responded with a smile.

Luo Cheng's response was irrelevant to the three art soldiers who came with the squad leader.Anyway, the squad leader didn't speak, so they didn't dare to start eating. As soon as they heard that it was time to eat, they immediately picked up the bowl, picked one up with chopsticks, blew on it, and stuffed it into their mouths.By the time Luo Cheng returned to talk to the squad leader, he had eaten a dumpling.

It's delicious, even better than the dumplings eaten in the army during the Chinese New Year. The dumpling skins are as sweet as corn.

The dumplings in the pot were not yet cooked, and several people ate them up, and Dai Qianxi was no exception.Comparing the speed of eating with the people in the army, ordinary people really can't compare.

Here they are eating dumplings happily, but most people in Longyang Town are worried.

Because of the drought in summer, people here are thirsty, and there is barely enough water for everyone to eat, but the ground is really short of water.Irrigation relies on carrying water from far away rivers or reservoirs. Even if it survives, the rice is often in a state of water shortage, and the harvest is still good. In some places, the water source is too far away, and the grains are dead and have no harvest. There are situations.

In fact, everyone has known for a long time that the rice harvest this season is not very good. It is really a bumper harvest. How can we marry a daughter like selling a daughter.Even if there is no food at home now, it will be fine after a while.

The harvest is poor, the public grain is paid, and then the remaining grain is counted.Then calculate according to all the work points of everyone in a year.For example, the entire brigade has 1 work points. If the remaining harvest is [-] catties of grain, then one work point is worth a catty of grain.But if there is only one thousand catties of grain, one work point is worth one tael of grain.

After calculating how many work points and how much money, you can choose to ask for food or money.But this year, there is no need to ask, and everyone will choose to ask for food.But even so, there is not much to be divided. This winter, many old people will have to die again.The food was distributed, and everyone was not happy at all. Some old people with poor health had even started to prepare for a hunger strike.

As for the healthy old man, he had only two choices, either to go too, or to take advantage of the fact that he could still move, put on a ragged cotton jacket, take a broken bowl, and go begging.If there is no broken bowl, one corner must be deliberately broken.When you go begging, let the givers understand that my bowl is broken and the bowl is thin, so it is only this high, and I won't ask for more from you.

If you go begging with a good bowl, even if a kind-hearted person sees you as pitiful and wants to give you a mouthful of watery bowls, how much will they give you?People are reluctant to give too much, and feel sorry for giving too little, so they simply ignore you.The mouth of the bowl is broken, and the thin one can't hold much. The kind-hearted person thought that it was just a sip for himself, so he gave it.

The Luo family is also worried. They are not worried about whether their family can survive.The two girls went to the city with the eldest brother, and they also earned a lot of work points during the busy farming season.This in and out can save a lot.Besides, except for the ten yuan that Luo Bing gave on the wedding day, the money left by Luo Cheng only moved a little.

So the Luo family will not have a hard time today. Let's take a step back and say that the eldest son is in the city, so there is no way out.But I still have to worry about it. My father, Luo Wen, has younger brothers and sisters. The eldest brother is the father. Although the younger brothers and sisters are already parents, they will even be grandparents in a few years.

This kind of harvest is really hard to do nothing.Of course, this is just the distribution of food, not yet.When I really waited until I came to speak, I basically couldn't hold on anymore.

The Luo family sat at the dinner table and drank porridge. They said it was only a few slices of vegetables, and the porridge was very clear.Wowotou didn't make it today, and the family's food is actually pretty good recently, but after the food is divided, the worry is simply to save money.The daughter-in-law, Qin Ru, also knows the situation. In the past few days after her marriage, her in-laws have been very kind to her.

Qin Ru is also worried today. Although she is married, her mother's family will be Hakka in the future, and she will be a guest when she goes back.But there are children who really don’t worry about their family members. The Luo family’s brigade is not well scored, and Qinlingkou can be good. It’s the same. Some villages may have even less poor scores.

When eating, the door is closed, but it is only a cover.Suddenly the door was pushed open, and an old man appeared in front of everyone wearing a ragged padded jacket and holding a broken bowl in his hand.

"Big ~ Uncle."

"elder brother."

The one who called uncle was his father, Luo Wen, and the one who called brother was Luo Cheng's grandma.

"Yan, brother is leaving, I will come to see you on the way."

Grandma Luo Cheng's elder brother, uncle, is from Liujiagou, and her grandma is also surnamed Liu.Liujiagou is at the bottom of a ravine, and the fields in the village are not very good. The drought has lasted for several years, and it really can't support it.I know that today's harvest is not good, but there are not many old people who really want to die. Who doesn't want to live.Sometimes I just deceive myself, thinking that if there is enough food, next year's harvest will be better.

But this time the commune has distributed food, and it is time to face the reality.

The uncle planned to go begging, but he actually understood that when he went out to beg, he might really be on the road as soon as he was on the road.Coming to Luo's house means saying goodbye to my sister, so I don't worry about it anymore.

Grandma Luo Cheng looked at her brother, tears streaming down her face.If it wasn't for the eldest grandson coming back this year and changing the family situation, she might be on the road.

Luo Wen didn't know how to face his uncle anymore. He was just thinking about how much food his younger siblings would share and how long it would last.Mother's eldest brother actually came to say goodbye, and this farewell may be a farewell between life and death.

Sighing again and again, this God really does not let people live.In the end, the Luo family didn't let the uncle go, and it took only three months, what would happen to one more old man.

The uncle stayed and lived in Luo Bing's former firewood house. We can't tell the uncle's family about this.Don't let it be hard to stay here in the end, the children from the uncle's side even came to ask Grandma Luo Cheng for relief.The uncle's children are also the grandma's nephews and nieces. This relationship cannot be broken within one or two generations.

Luo Cheng's grandma also knew that taking in her elder brother would actually be a drag on his eldest grandson in the end.Without his eldest grandson Luo Cheng, let alone his elder brother, he would also be sad this year.If the Luo family couldn't survive, how could they not go to the city to find their eldest grandson Luo Cheng.

Courtyard room.

Today's dumpling meal, everyone ate very happily, and finally drank all the soup that was used to cook the dumplings.Put the dumplings in to cook, but if there is flour, how could the water that boiled the dumplings be poured out? There are so many people, and if one person takes less than one bowl, it will be gone. You don’t even have to drink as much as you want.

After the dumplings were finished, Zhao Qian and the others rushed to clean up the dishes.They knew it, and with the rationed food stamps they would hand in at that time, they wouldn't be able to eat this.After cleaning up, Luo Cheng and his sister don't need to be bothered.

Dai Qianqian was somewhat interested in the side three rounds he drove, which was obviously different from the ones in the army, where she had also driven them before.But it wasn't in the art troupe, it was in her father's army.Cars were also learned in my father's army.

The opportunity to be alone came unexpectedly. Luo Cheng asked the two younger sisters to make their own clothes, while he took Dai Qianqian to see the remodeled Bisanlun.Although the three-wheel driving over there has risen, the operation method is the same as that of a car except for turning the steering wheel.But so what, other people don't even have bicycles, but he has his own real car.

Not to mention that this is the property of the public in the factory, Luo Cheng did not deny this, could it be that he was testing the performance of the modified three wheels.
