Candide in Chronology is on strike

Three days have passed, and the food in the village has almost been dried. It took a whole day to blow out the empty husks in the rice, and the rice was packed. The next day, it was delivered to the town. grain station.

To be honest, when the party secretary came back with the villagers that day, everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief. The taxes that should be paid have been paid, and the grain in the brigade warehouse belongs to them. When you get down, the most important thing to do is to settle down.

The villagers were very happy when they thought that they would be able to share the food soon.

The village party secretary Chen Zongze came back with his people. He stood at the entrance of the village and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "After I go back today, I will do some repairs. I will free up all the bags and baskets of food at home. We will share them tomorrow morning." grain."

"Okay, it's finally time to separate. The flowers I've been waiting for all day are almost gone." A villager said with tears in his eyes.

This food is their root. His family has been without food for more than a month. They have been able to survive for more than a month purely by borrowing food and digging wild vegetables. It is not easy.

"Who isn't!"

"My family is out of food. I borrowed a few kilograms of food from my daughter last time, but I have already run out of food."

"You still have room to borrow food. My family has been without food for more than two months. If I hadn't gritted my teeth to hold on, I would have starved to death." The person who spoke was as thin as a reed stick. Yes, it looks a bit scary.

But people at this time are very thin, and fat people are very proud of them. After all, if you don't have any family background, you can't feed fat people.

The next day, after breakfast, Qin Xi, Qin Jiang and Qin Qing took sacks and baskets and lined up at the entrance of the brigade warehouse.

They arrived quite early, but there was a long queue in front of them. Although the food distribution had not officially started yet, everyone was lining up very consciously, and no one left the queue.

As soon as the team leader, branch secretary, scorer, and others arrived, the team immediately became commotion, with voices rising and falling, and people at the back unconsciously pushed forward, as if this way they could take the food home earlier.

"Don't squeeze in the back, this person will be squeezed out."

"Yes! Look what it looks like for my grandson."

At this time, the village party secretary stood up to maintain order: "Everyone, please don't crowd. Our village's grain harvest this year is very good. Everyone has a share of grain. After the grain is divided equally, we can go back and have a good meal. It will be enjoyable." "

In order to distribute food today, these old guys have already started counting half a month ago, and today is the time to test the results.

When it was Qin Xi's turn, it was already eleven o'clock. The process went very quickly. First, Qin Jiang's work points and Qin Xi's work points. The village scorer had a total, and I also had one. After all, there were very few. Some people don’t care how many work points they earn every day.

Qin Jiang was given [-] kilograms of grain, Qin Xi was given [-] kilograms, and Qin Qing only had a few work points for picking rice ears, which was almost nothing. Therefore, she only had head rations, which was fifty kilograms.

Qin Xi also didn't know how to calculate how many kilograms of food a person was given, but no one asked, so she didn't explore it. Anyway, they were pretty much the same, there wasn't much difference, and the three of them didn't offend them. People, they can't get three people to join forces and give them little shoes!
  Of these [-] kilograms of grain, [-]% are fine grains, and the remaining [-]% are coarse grains. Coarse grains such as corn, peanuts, soybeans, and sorghum are distributed in a certain proportion, with the largest number being corn cobs.

With the food, the aroma of food wafted out of every household's kitchen at noon that day.

At noon, Qin Xi and the three of them were still eating! Liu Mei walked in with her child in her arms. “Brother Xiaoxi, you’re eating!” Liu Mei smiled nonchalantly and sat directly on an empty seat at the table without being polite.

"Is something wrong?" Qin Xi asked while picking up the rice.

The family of three next door received more than [-] kilograms of food in total. They will not be short of food for a long time.

Liu Mei hugged the child with another hand and said, "Xiaoxi! That's it. Your second brother and I plan to take Dabao to the county town to visit his parents tomorrow. Dabao hasn't seen his grandparents for a long time. I almost forgot what they looked like, we have to go see them.”

"If this had been left in the past, I wouldn't have bothered you. Didn't the family get more than [-] kilograms of food?"

"If we leave and the food is left at home without anyone taking care of it, I'm afraid someone will come and try to mislead us. After all, our village has distributed food, and other villages don't know the situation yet!"

In some villages, although the harvest in the fields this year is not bad, once the grain tax is paid and the money borrowed for seeds and fertilizers is paid back, they really can’t get much food. The food in their homes is still mouth-watering. feet of capital.

Qin Xi understood: "So, you mean, let us look after the food at home for you?"

Liu Mei nodded repeatedly: "That's what I mean. I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, you just slap your butt and leave. If one day a thief comes here and your food is stolen, won't you have to blame me? Maybe, you will ask me to compensate you." Loss."

"Do you think I should agree to such a thankless job?" Qin Xi looked at Liu Mei with a half-smile.

It is true that he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Although this matter seems to be a trivial matter, the risk is too great.

If the person next door was really robbed and asked her to compensate, she would give him whatever compensation she wanted, but she wouldn't do it.

Liu Mei quickly shook her head in denial: "Xiaoxi, that's not what I meant. What I meant was for you to pay attention to what's going on in our place. If something is stolen, don't worry, I will never let you pay for it."

"You just need to take care of me. We will close the doors and windows before leaving, but we are afraid that someone will be hungry and take risks and choose to break the door or window. If you have help to take care of it, If you do it one or two, others will restrain themselves a lot."

She is easy to talk now because she asks for help from others. What she says now is one thing, but when she comes back and sees that something is wrong at home and she is stolen, that is another thing.

"As I said, don't do it. I hate trouble the most. When I heard about this matter, I felt it was very troublesome." Qin Xi refused again without giving any face.

She didn't trust Liu Mei, not only Liu Mei, but also Qin He. This happened so suddenly. Her first reaction just now was whether this was a deliberate trap set up by the couple just to deceive her.

But after thinking about it, it probably wouldn't be the case. Of course, in order to avoid trouble, she'd better refuse!
