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

Chapter 21

Luo Wen, the father in the room, didn't just chat. First of all, he distributed peanuts, a small plate of peanuts, which is really not something you can just reach out for if you want to eat.I want to eat whatever I eat, it’s faster than eating.

"Come on, come on, today is also a rare gathering for us people. The Chinese New Year has not been so lively in the past two years. The children have melon seeds to eat, and we will eat peanuts. Don't underestimate these peanuts. This is not the same as ours. The peanuts I fried by myself in the past were different, they were brought by Cheng Zi in the army, and ordinary people would not be able to eat such peanuts."

Luo Wen said with a smile, also showing off his son's ability.He directly divided [-] peanuts, and he counted them one by one in front of Luo Cheng's uncle and uncle.And the others didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and it wasn't too much to eat casually, counting points, no shame.

And the content of their chats, first of all, the problem of the harvest in the past two years, they all complained about it, the harvest was not good, and the higher-ups also asked for support to the north, and the amount of public grain handed over did not decrease.

Then they talked about Luo Cheng. This time they got together, they originally got together in the name of Luo Cheng's return from the army.Talking about his son, Luo Wen also satisfies his vanity. Uncle and uncle are all praises, but because they are not educated, they always come and go with a few words, promising, amazing, The main reason is the tone and expression of the speech, which is called a sincere and serious, not just a few words of flattery, which makes Luo Wen, a father, more satisfied than anything else.

"National food stamps, you haven't seen them before, this thing is amazing, it's worth more than money. It's a rare commodity in the city. People in the city eat commodity grain. You know, they buy it every month. There is a ration. How much fine grain and how much coarse grain can be received every month. But that is also regulated, and this national food stamp can be bought as you want. Guess how much grain you can buy with a [-]-jin national grain stamp.”

After talking about Luo Cheng, we will naturally return to today's final topic - food.But when it comes to food, Luo Wen was really shocked by what happened in the morning. To be honest, life is so big that he hadn't been liberated when he was young, and there was no food stamp for buying food.

After the implementation of food stamps, it is actually very difficult for farmers to obtain this. Farmers who grow their own grain do not have food stamps, which is the status quo in this era.So to be honest, it was the first time for Luo Wen to go to the grain station to buy grain today. In the past, when the family was short of grain, they would borrow it from relatives or use credit from the brigade.

In the past, when the harvest was good, some money could be distributed at the end of the year, and they could also buy grain with this money. Everyone had a standard, the amount was not much, and they had to register with the brigade.This kind of grain they can buy is called repurchase grain, that is, it is only available when the harvest is good.

If the harvest is good, everyone will send some money occasionally, but also buy daily necessities, salt and oil, how can it be possible to buy back food.But now the harvest is not good, and there is no such thing as repurchasing grain, and farmers' families can't keep money.The rich also went to the pigeon market to buy some high-priced food.

There has been a policy of buying back grain, but few farmers actually use it.Even if you have the standards, you still have to apply for this thing, and farmers at the end of the year can't read big characters, so they have to apply in advance. I don't know how to buy grain.

But if you say that the repurchased grain is really useless, then you are wrong again. Even when the harvest is good, rural people can eat dry grain at most, and there is no such thing as letting go of their stomachs to eat.

If the harvest is good in the future, take Luo Cheng as an example. If he has cash, he can ask his family members to go to the brigade to apply for repurchase of grain. Although it is not much, it is also grain that does not require food stamps.

Especially after Luo Cheng really started working, the grain harvest was good, and he could buy back grain twice a year in the south.It's impossible for people in this city to eat fine grains every day, but if there is repurchased grain, others are reluctant to eat it, but Luo Cheng is willing.

Father Luo Wen was playing tricks, and other people also cooperated, mainly because they really wanted to know how much grain the national food stamps of fifty catties could exchange for.They all know that food stamps are very important, but they are too difficult to obtain. There is a breakfast shop in the town.Not to mention the fifty catties of food stamps.

150 catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of cornmeal, and the rest I bought some other types of grain.

The cornmeal has already been poured into the jar. Luo Cheng's family has a rice jar, which was passed down from his grandfather when he was alive. Don't look old, it's very thick and practical.Even if it has not been filled in the past two years, it is impossible to distribute only one type of food in the brigade.

So even when the food was distributed, Luo Cheng's rice tank was never full.You can't mix all kinds of grains.

The sweet potatoes are placed in the firewood room where Luo Bing lives. Even if more than half of the sweet potatoes are distributed to uncles and aunts later, the sweet potatoes are also planned to be stored there. Luo Bing will keep them at night, which is safe.Putting firewood in the house is not afraid of mice or anything.Of course, it doesn't mean that he is not afraid of rats. If there are rats, Luo Bing will be even more excited, maybe he can eat meat once.

Hearing the numbers mentioned by Luo Wen, although sweet potatoes are not hungry and have a lot of water, they are also life-saving food at this time.There can be a total of 250 catties. Seeing what the elder brother means, he will take out a lot to distribute to them and help them.

Although he didn't say it clearly, when Luo Bing called them to come, he asked them to bring cloth bags, so this needs to be said directly.It's just how big a cloth bag is and how much it can hold. It seems that the big brother just thinks about it.

"When I bought it, I didn't know that I could buy so much. When we went today, we only brought a few small cloth bags. After dinner, I discussed with your sister-in-law. Each of you brought ten catties of stick noodles Go with twenty catties of sweet potatoes. This will make your life easier, this is all thanks to your nephews and nephews, you have to remember this."

"Brother, what you said is that Luo Cheng is his own nephew and nephew. Even if there is no such incident today, if he comes to us for something, it will not be a matter of a word."

Hearing Luo Wen's words, Uncle Luo Wu responded that this is also true, relatives in this era are more important than later generations.Human nature is also simple. If a nephew is in trouble and asks for help, it is one thing to be unable to help. If you are able to help but do not help, you will really be poked in the back.

To put it cruelly, in this famine year, it was this kind of simplicity that killed many people.Before a famine, there are always some people who are a little bit richer and have a little bit of food.But because of the help, others did not help, and the family fell into a situation of insufficient food.

In the end, it is very likely that the family can barely support it without helping their relatives.And because of helping relatives, but after the relatives finished eating the food, the famine continued, and then there was a massacre, and they all starved to death.

(Repurchasing grain has always existed, and it can be regarded as a policy adjustment. It cannot be true that farmers have paid public grain and kept enough grain for themselves, and there is no food stamp. Go starve to death. But the reality is that it is really necessary Not many people have bought them, and they are all convenient for those who take advantage of loopholes. The main reason is that this era is poor and farmers cannot save money.)
　Two chapters a day, delivered on time, but the recommendation tickets and monthly tickets of the brothers are getting more and more stingy.Don't rush to update, you need to follow up the data on Tuesday, and save it for that day to add updates.The manuscript is also written and published, and occasionally saves a little bit.
