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

Chapter 16 Rational Grain

The eldest uncle's plan to marry his daughter has temporarily stopped, at least if he has any plans, he will have to wait until he returns from the uncle's house.

Bringing stools and bowls and chopsticks to eat is a common thing in rural areas in this era.In the city, some wealthy families pay attention to the saying of 36 legs.That is, a table and eight stools.

Ordinary people, especially those in rural areas, really don't have many tables, chairs and benches at this time.Not to mention the guests, many families have too many people and there are not enough tables.

Letting bring stools is basically the main thing for people to sit on. There are also several children in the aunt's house, so it is impossible to bring stools.Take one or two at most, and other people can stand or squat when they eat.

As for my aunt Luo Hong's family, life is slightly better than that of my aunt's.Because the person in her family is the eldest son in the family, there are parents to help.But in the same way, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. The so-called good is also relative.My uncle's parents had brothers and sisters, as did my uncle himself.

If there is food at home, at most, they can only rely on themselves first.But just like Luo Cheng's family, the rations for this autumn have not yet come down, and they are discussing whether to help other people when the time comes.

Because I earn a lot of centimeters, but I can hardly starve to death, but I have to help, and I can only drink water during the Chinese New Year.If you want to eat a bowl of dry rice during the Chinese New Year, that is a luxury.

And to say that the sister-in-law is better than the elder sister-in-law's house means that after the food is distributed, there is not much difference between the sister-in-law and the elder sister-in-law's house during this period of time. At most, there are a little more sweet potatoes, and the drink is thinner and thicker every day. .

When Luo Bing arrived at my sister-in-law's house, my uncle had already gone out to work, and there was no food to grow, but there were still some other things to grow in the field.Sister-in-law Luo Hong is at home, mainly because the children at home are also young. There are three children in my sister-in-law's family, two girls and one boy.One person needs to stay at home to take care of her.

After Luo Bing informed his aunt, he didn't drink any water, so he got half of a white radish, gnawed it and went back.

Luo Cheng didn't stay idle after having breakfast at home, the water tank at home was running out of water.Because of the drought, the wells in some parts of the town are not getting water.And the water that can hit the water is relatively muddy.After it is shot out, it is best to let it sit for a while, filter out some soil and the like at the bottom, and then pour the water into the tank.

Fortunately, it had to be filtered before pouring it into the vat, otherwise Luo Cheng's physical strength would be exposed again.There is a public bucket tied with a rope at the well, neither big nor small.When you come to fetch water, you can just bring your own wooden bucket, and you don’t need to bring the rope for fetching water.Of course, not every wellhead has such a common wellhead, and in some places you still have to bring your own rope.It's just that Luo Cheng and the others don't need it where they fetch water.

Without a plastic bucket, a wooden bucket weighs a lot.Luo Cheng, his sister, and his father all went. Because there were so many people, they chose to pick a wooden barrel to save some effort.

In the past, one person carried a shoulder pole and one person carried two buckets of water back.Hard work must be hard work, but people these days don't feel anything.

Luo Cheng and Luo Xiaoyu picked a bucket together, and father and Luo Shishi picked a bucket together.Just like that, Luo Cheng felt tired after getting the water back, but Luo Xiaoyu and Luo Shishi acted as if nothing had happened.Luo Cheng could only pretend that he could do it himself.

This is to filter the water, let it sit and then pour it into the tank.Otherwise, father Luo Wen would definitely take them to carry water again.

But grandma said, how can the eldest grandson do this job, the eldest grandson will be a person who will work and eat commercial food in the future.Isn't the little grandson Luo Bing always doing this job? With these two buckets of water, at least he can handle it for now. When Luo Bing comes back and buys food, let him carry water.

Hearing grandma's words, Luo Cheng felt emotional.

"They are all grandsons. Luo Cheng is treated like a grandson, but Luo Bing is really treated like a grandson."

But grandma was not completely partial, and left two pancakes for Luo Bing, while the others only ate one.The two younger sisters were also considered to be in Luo Cheng's favor. He didn't want to eat the pancakes he took at first, which made them each eat one and a half pancakes.

But when you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.Luo Bing was also very excited thinking about going to buy food at home today. When he passed his uncle and aunt, he didn't waste much time on the way.

The water in the bucket was left for about ten minutes before it was poured into the tank, and Luo Bing just came back.

"Here, your elder brother bought it, eat it, and you will have the strength to resist food later."

As soon as Luo Bing came back, his father gave him two pancakes.This kid is the best at home, the best at eating, and the strongest.

But in this day and age, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.It is good to have strength, but eating too much means that you are easy to get hungry. In a famine year, it is not easy to feed.

"Dad, brother, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it all, and I reserved it for you, just wait for you to come back to eat and buy food."

"Then let's go, this big cake can be eaten while walking."

Luo Bing said happily while biting down on the flatbread, it tasted really delicious.In fact, his father, Luo Wen, looked delicious eating the pancakes, so Luo Cheng thought that the way he opened the pancakes in the morning was wrong, and he found it so hard to swallow no matter how he ate them.

Luo Bing swallowed half a catty of flatbread, and a small half was gone, and he swallowed it without chewing a few mouthfuls.If this is in later generations, there will definitely be traffic if you go to eat and broadcast.

The cloth bag brought a few, because there are many kinds of food.To be honest, they haven't used the national food stamps to buy food.Even if it is local food stamps, farmers generally do not have these things, because they generally have no way to obtain food stamps and the like.

However, although the local food stamps have not been used much, I have heard of them.Local food stamps are divided into coarse grains and fine grains, like urban residents, that is, those who eat commercial grains, all have grain books.There is a ration every month. You can directly use the food book to buy food, or you can use the food book to receive food stamps.

And the number of people in the city will not be many, and it is related to many factors.Those who work in heavy industrial units will be given more quotas, and some units have quantitative subsidies.For some leaders, the quantification will naturally be higher than that of ordinary people, but even if there is a difference, it will not be much different.

Due to the famine in the past two years, the rations in the city have basically been adjusted and decreased.There are standards for men and women, students, and children.

But even for people in the city, there may not be enough to eat if there is a ration.Some families have children and elderly people, and it depends entirely on their rations how to eat enough.A person is only about [-] catties.

In this era without oil and water, let alone a catty of grain a day, even if it is a catty per meal, people who can eat are not full.

Therefore, the ration is generally planned and rationed according to fine grains, and the ration of one catty of fine grains can buy three catties of coarse grains.However, there is also a division of coarse and fine grains. It is not that you can buy all coarse grains or all fine grains if you have a ration.
