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

Chapter 22 The rules of eating in special times

Some feelings of this era are really difficult to judge. The relatives are very united, and they go together when they have something to do.Whoever is bullied may really cause a small fight between the younger generation and cause a team fight between the families.Of course, there are also some selfish people, even if there are traitors during the war.But it is a minority after all.

Although it is reasonable in this age, in the countryside, many fights are trivial matters.It is difficult for upright officials to judge right from wrong. If they fight together, those with a weak family will be at a disadvantage.

One person can share ten catties of stick noodles and twenty catties of sweet potatoes. Naturally, everyone has nothing to say about Luo Wen, who is the big brother.Originally, it belonged to the elder brother's own family, and the elder brother still had to take care of his elderly mother, so half of it was allocated now.Especially the elder uncle and the younger uncle, their identities are not as close as two uncles.

This married daughter is the water that was thrown out, although in reality it is not as ruthless as it is said.But the real situation is that daughters are not as good as sons, and capable parents want to help their children, but they also put their sons first.

Luo Wen's actions showed that they treated their girls as outsiders without marrying them off. If they dare to treat them badly, they have to weigh it.

The Luo family, including some distant relatives of the Luo Cheng family, do not have a large population in Longyang Town.But it's okay, but now that there is a person like Luo Cheng, if there is a dispute with the Luo family, even if the town or village has a large surname (there are many people), it must be considered.

The cloth bags brought by several people are not big, enough to hold stick noodles. For sweet potatoes, each person can carry a few, and twenty catties is actually not much. Among the people who came here today, no one has four or five people.

The children gathered together, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. The happiest person today is actually Luo Cheng's grandma.I ate steamed buns last night and a few more vegetarian buns this morning. At least my physical fitness has recovered a lot. It seems that I am more energetic when I walk, but this is also a physical recovery.If you really want to change your body, you have to eat some nutritious things and take care of yourself slowly.

A large bowl of sweet potato porridge was brought up while the men were chatting, but it wasn't time to start eating.There is more than one pot of sweet potato porridge, and the rest is stored in another pot in the kitchen.You have to wait until the second pot is cooked before you can start eating, otherwise there are so many people, you can't just eat one or two bowls, put down the bowls and chopsticks and chat and wait for the second pot.

There was a pot of hot sweet potato porridge on the table, which was filled with fine grain rice. Luo Cheng said that millet was nutritious, and grandma drank it well, so he added millet and mixed it to cook.

I usually drink thin ones at home, so thin that you can directly see the bottom of the bowl.Don’t look at cooking in one big pot today, you should know that millet and rice, if you cook porridge originally, you can cook a pot of thicker porridge for one catty. Although it is going to be cooked in three pots today, the amount of sweet potatoes can No less put.

Seeing that they couldn't eat it right away, a few old men who were chatting took out their stools and sat in the corridor to chat.This also saw Luo Cheng hang out with his cousins, while their sons, the younger ones, stayed by to play with bugs, while the older ones were helping with the work.

As far as this scene is concerned, no one feels that it violates harmony.This is going to try to replace Luo Cheng with a cousin, and make sure you want to beat him up the first time you see him. It's shameful, people are busy, and you are a man hanging around among the girls, what do you look like.

The porridge is cooked relatively quickly, and it is the second pot. The rice and millet are all cooked at the beginning.In about ten minutes, my aunt came out to call for dinner.

For this meal, put the ones in the pot first, because the pot has to be emptied, and cook the third pot.After filling, it is not ready to eat immediately, otherwise let alone porridge, even if it is dry rice, these edible things can be swallowed into your stomach in a few mouthfuls.

When it comes to eating, you have to follow the rules. If you eat one more bowl, others will eat one less bite on average.Everyone has the first bowl. There are not enough bowls and chopsticks at home, so they are asked to bring bowls. The size of the bowls is relatively uniform these days, and there is no one who brings a big bowl or a small bowl.

There are relatively young children in the family, such as sister-in-law and elder aunt's family, all of them are about ten years old.Although there is no need to feed them, at least they have to be well served, and the son of the uncle's family has children, and the daughter-in-law also brought them, so they have to be taken care of.

Anyway, it’s what should be served. You have to be careful when eating, and you have to wait when you finish eating. When everyone’s first bowl is almost done, someone will take the lead to serve the second bowl. At that time, everyone can keep up. .

This is in the countryside, and there are rules in the city nowadays, as long as it is not a little bit better, but even if it is a walk among relatives for a meal, or a gathering among colleagues.You have to remember to give the meal ticket to the person who entertains you when you eat. If you go to someone’s house to eat, you don’t have to pay the money. If you don’t give the meal ticket, they may try their best to save you.Everyone's ration is counted, even in the city, whoever is in charge of the house, other people, even father and son, have to pay meal tickets.

Aunts and aunts don't sit at the table, let alone them, there is only one table, how many people can sit, and Luo Cheng's father and uncles and uncles are the only ones sitting. Grandma was supposed to sit there too, but grandma No, she would like to stand in the kitchen and eat with her mother.

Except grandma, there is no limit to eating, and everyone else has to follow the rules.If you don't know the rules, you can't touch the spatula in the kitchen. In the living room, a few old men will directly let you understand what the rules are.

So Luo Cheng's generation, or those below this generation, all stood outside with a bowl to eat.If you feel tired from standing, you can just find a clod of soil or rocks as a stool to sit on.

Luo Cheng's mother in the kitchen will go to the living room when everyone has eaten the first bowl. If the elders in the living room have finished eating, they will start to greet the second round.As for the second round, there are rules again. Children who are too young basically have no chance to enter the third round, that is, those under ten years old.

In addition, girls who are not married are basically given two bowls, which is a bit patriarchal.It is said that girls should not be able to eat as boys, but this is an age when there is no oil and water. Girls can eat three bowls of dry rice. How can they not eat the thin ones.

But this round will also take care of the girls, and will try to get as many sweet potatoes as possible for them.

After the second round is finished, other people can also fill the third bowl. After the third bowl, no matter whether there is any extra, they must know the rules and don't eat any more.Unless there is really too much left, everyone can have another bowl.A little more can be saved for Luo Cheng's family to eat at night.

(The most lacking thing in this era is food, so eating more and eating less is a shameful thing in the eyes of others. Until later, the aspect of eating was a little looser. The rule of eating more is slowly disappearing. In this era, let alone guests, even if there are no guests, the whole family, and everyone is hungry, you can’t eat more just because you can eat and eat fast. They all share food, and they will be accused of not following the rules, unless it is the kind of preference, eat more for boys and less for girls. Many grandparents prefer grandchildren and don’t like granddaughters, because grandchildren are passed on from generation to generation .Ideology problem.)
