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

Chapter 15

Luo Cheng bought a lot, and he let go, but he could only eat three more.Grandma also ate three, not because she was afraid that she would suddenly overeat and damage her body.

People these days are really hungry for too long. Only those whose stomachs have been used to being hungry will be able to eat to death.

People who do not feel full because they are always hungry.After eating a lot of food suddenly, the feeling of fullness will actually be delayed.

That is, when you are eating, the amount of food in your stomach may actually be enough for you to be full.But the body may still be sending out the wrong message of being hungry, so some people who are very hungry will die of hunger after eating.

This kind of sluggishness means that you don't feel much when you eat, but after you rest for a while, you feel full and full.

But it also depends on the person, at least it can't be analyzed according to Luo Cheng's perspective. In these years, many people are short of oil and water, and it is normal for them to be able to eat.Just like his father Luo Wen, he didn't eat any more after eating one big pancake. It wasn't that he couldn't eat it, but that he wanted to let go. Luo Cheng didn't buy enough.

A large pancake weighed more than half a catty, and Luo Cheng could eat enough, but his father could only rest his stomach.

"Shishi, take two pancakes and send one to Aunt Zhao's and Aunt Li's."

When Luo Xiaoyu and Luo Shishi were eating pancakes in the room, my mother came over and yelled again.And this errand work is basically calling Shishi, who made her the youngest at home.

Both Aunt Zhao and Aunt Li are neighbors who live nearby. The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.These days, everyone pays more attention to neighbor relations. Many times, when there is an emergency, it is really necessary to ask the neighbors for help.

A few years ago, when the harvest was not bad, the children would visit each other to play, and they could always get some snacks to eat.At that time, food was also expensive, but it was not as scarce as it was in the past two years.

A big cake is only a little more than half a catty, and my eldest son is back, so it's a bit of fun to give a big cake, let alone forget them.

"Uncle, remember to bring a stool to my house for dinner at noon. Aunt and Qiangzi will both go, and bring a cloth bag."

Luo Bing said to Uncle Luo Wu that he would go out early in the morning and notify them earlier, just because he was afraid that they would not be able to come if they had something to do.Uncle Luo Quan has already notified him because he lives closer.

"Okay, I haven't seen your brother for a few years, and I don't know if it has changed. Bingzi, you can go to work, we will go there on time."

Luo Wu nodded. What his nephew Luo Bing said was very clear. Luo Cheng is back and will go to the grain station to buy grain later.Although there may not be much food, the eldest brother Luo Wen's family still intends to help them as younger brothers and sisters.Otherwise, they would not be allowed to bring a cloth bag.

Between brothers, there is no need to say polite words, if you have the heart, just remember the kindness.Moreover, Luo Wu and Luo Quan are also farmers, and they even work in the same brigade. The brothers understand each other about what is going on at home.

After Luo Bing came out from his uncle Luo Wu's house, he went directly to his aunt's house, because the two uncles lived relatively close to each other, and it was easy to understand the family situation, and they usually helped each other.

And my aunt is like a married woman, so it's not easy to find out how her life is going.I haven't seen each other in the past few months, but they are all married in the countryside. I know what my uncle is like.In fact, you don't need to inquire, you can know that basically none of them have a good life.

If you want to live a good life in these years, unless you can have a job that eats commercial food.Otherwise, business cannot be done, and the land is collectively owned. Even when the harvest is good in previous years, ordinary farmers can only raise a few chickens at most.Neither pigs nor cattle are kept by individuals.

A married daughter may be embarrassed to go back to her natal home empty-handed.So the two aunts have less contact recently.The main reason is that I also know the situation of the boss Luo Wen's family. There are many children in the family, and they are all the kind of half-children who eat my father to death, and because they are the boss, they have to bear the main support obligations.

Caring for the elderly in this era is not shared as in later generations.Generally, the parents live with the eldest son, and the other sons will go out at about the same time.Parents' things are basically left to the boss.

And during the Chinese New Year, when the parents are present, the other children will at most bring something to visit for New Year's greetings at that time.

If the parents are healthy and strong, they can help the boss a lot in normal times.But if you get older and your body is weak, you will definitely be hindered.

This is the custom in many places, where there are gains and losses.Therefore, if there are several children in the family in this day and age, don't compete with the eldest son. Parents will definitely prefer the custom of providing for the aged.

Moreover, this idea was instilled in rural people when they were young.Most of the things in the family are left to the eldest, because those who have several sons will not fight because of the thought instilled in them since childhood.If you want to fight, neither relatives nor outsiders will support it.

Luo Cheng's aunt, Luo Juan, married relatively close. Of course, her sister-in-law, Luo Hong, is not very far away, but the direction is different, more remote, which makes people feel far away.In fact, if you walk, according to the distance, the distance between the two is not much different.

"Juanzi, don't be angry, there's really nothing you can do. Don't I know that Yueyue is still young, but it's not impossible to marry at the age of fourteen. This year's harvest is just like this, and we don't have many centimeters , this year’s food distribution is definitely not enough.”

Aunt Luo Juan and Uncle Wang Lin have already woken up at this time, and the grain in the field has already been harvested, and there is not much farming work in the village now.Most of the land is to grow some cold-resistant vegetables, and the seeds may have to be credited through the village.

Early in the morning, because of some things, my aunt and uncle quarreled on the bed.My uncle's name is Wang Lin, not the eldest son of the Wang family. Not long after I married my aunt, I moved out from the family there.It doesn't mean that once you get married, you have to separate the family, but you can't live in it at all, especially if you always have to do that after you get married, it will definitely be inconvenient if you can't live in it.

Take Luo Cheng as an example, if he gets married, and under the current family conditions, both younger sisters may be driven to live in the firewood house by their parents.Sometimes it seems cruel, but most of them are forced.

My uncle's parents are still healthy and can earn work points.So I can continue to help, but my uncle's eldest brother also has a lot of children, and the eldest son of the eldest brother's family is also married and has children.There are grandchildren in the family.

So the eldest uncle's parents try to give priority to taking care of the elder brother's family, but on his side, the famine can't survive now.It's not that the parents are cruel and don't help, it's just that they can't help anymore.

If the famine lasts only for one year, there will generally be some reserves even in rural areas.But it has been two years. When the eldest uncle's family ran out of food, his parents also helped.But this is not something that can be solved once or twice.

Help out once or twice, and the sister-in-law will have a disagreement.It's not that there is a lot of rations, and my whole family is still hungry, so I can't all starve to death.

So on my uncle's side, he still drinks water every day, but his family's children are too young to earn work points in the fields.The eldest is a daughter named Wang Yue, who is 14 years old this year.According to the theory, such a big baby can go to work in the fields to earn work points, at most a little.

But how many children are there in the family, so Wang Yue stayed at home to take care of her younger siblings.My aunt and uncle went to the fields to earn work points, but it can be calculated that this year's rations must be even more insufficient.Parents can't count on it at all.

There was no other way. Uncle Wang Lin thought of an idea and married his eldest daughter, Wang Yue. She was already 14 years old, and it was not impossible for her to marry in the countryside.I don't expect any betrothal gifts or anything like that. If the other party is similar, I can marry him with whatever I give.The main reason is that the family can save a ration of food.

But if the other party is not very good, such as older, or the person is not good, has defects, etc., then you have to ask for some bride price.

My uncle thinks so, but my aunt doesn't want to, even though there are people in rural areas who get married at the age of 14.But after all, it is a minority, generally around sixteen.And even if you want to marry, you still have to find a better guy. How can you marry someone who is too old or too old as long as you give the bride price.

"Gu, aunt, are you here?"

"Who~ who's voice sounds like a soldier."

Luo Juan, who was arguing with her husband at home, heard shouts outside the door, and because her family was separated, the house was not in a densely populated area of ​​the village.In rural areas, the houses in the neighborhood are basically not small.So this shout must be calling for himself.

"It's not because your mother's family can't make it through and come to us to borrow food."

The eldest uncle also said in surprise, no wonder he thought so.It's not a festival, so what can this little nephew come to do?

What I am most afraid of this year is that when relatives come to the door when there are no festivals, most of them are asking for something, and it is very likely that it has something to do with food.Even if it is not for borrowing food, it is very difficult for some families if relatives come to the door, even if it is to entertain a meal.

"People from my natal family can't just come to see me. My nephew misses me. Huh, I'll go out and have a look first."

Originally, the two were arguing, if the nephew really came to borrow food, let alone whether there was any food to borrow, but if this was the case, then she would have no confidence here in the future.A married daughter also has to rely on her mother's family for support, but her mother's family can't survive to borrow food, so she will be inferior to her husband's family.

"Bingzi, it's really you. Why are you here with my aunt? What's the matter?"

Luo Juan went out and saw that it was really her nephew Luo Bing. Seeing him, she still had a smile on her face, but her heart was beating, don't really come to borrow food.My family also drinks water every day, if my nephew speaks up, what should I say.

"Gu, my elder brother came back from the army. My grandma and my dad asked me to call you to eat at home at noon, and my dad asked you to take your uncle and cousins ​​with you. But just remember to bring stools and bowls. Today, uncles and uncles will also Come on. I'll go to my sister-in-law's house to call them later."

"Well, it's a good thing that your elder brother is back. The elder brother and sister-in-law used to think about it every day. Okay, okay~~ Really good, aunt must go to see. You are tired from the journey, fast forward Take a sip of water."

The aunt was really happy to hear that her eldest nephew Luo Cheng had returned.Of course, Luo Bing didn't come to borrow food, and the muttering in his heart was also let go.And if you can call the brothers, her and sister together for dinner, then how many days can be counted.Otherwise, even if it is between brothers, they will be embarrassed to come to have a meal.

"Auntie, no need, I'm not tired now, I'll just go to my sister-in-law's house to drink some water later. After going to my sister-in-law's house, I have to go back and follow my father and elder brother to the grain station to buy food. Dad said, auntie, come Remember to bring a cloth bag with you when you come back from the army, and the eldest brother will give you some money and food stamps.”

Luo Bing said that he was also considered sensible, and some words were too short.Asking to bring a cloth bag, it must be for carrying things, and let's talk about it because the eldest brother Luo Cheng has food stamps and money to get the food, this kindness must be remembered by the eldest brother.In the future, if the eldest brother asks for anything, he must be remembered.

Of course, the Luo family didn't hope that Luo Chengzhen would ask them one day because of difficulties, it was more of a kind of maintenance between family.
