Chapter 484 Lack of Food!

Qin Baoming opened the curtain and walked into the small courtyard, and saw Qin Daguo and Qin Baohua standing at the door, with surprised expressions on their faces at first.

Today is a small year, but Qin Daguo and Qin Baohua went to the city to look for themselves on such an important day. Something must have happened in the village.

With this thought in his mind, Qin Baoming warmly greeted the two of them: "Brother Daguo! Baohua! Why are you here? Please come inside!"

Qin Baoming opened the curtain and invited the two people into the house. Seeing the arrival of the two people, Qin's mother also showed a surprised expression and asked them curiously: "Brother Da Guo! Baohua! Isn't today a small year?" Why did you enter the city today? Did something happen in the village?"

Hearing Mother Qin's question, Qin Daguo couldn't help sighing when he thought of the reason why they came to the city today, and said to Qin Baoming, "Baoming! We originally thought that we would look for you when you return to the village for the New Year. , but the village really can't get over it, so I have to go to the city to find you today."

Qin Baoming heard Qin Daguo's words and learned that the village had reached the point where it was impossible to open the pot. He was very surprised and quickly asked Qin Daguo: "Brother Daguo! Didn't the autumn harvest grains in the village just be divided a few months ago? How could it be possible? Can’t you open the pot?”

When Qin Daguo heard Qin Baoming's words, he thought about the reason for the lack of food in the village. A regretful expression appeared on his face, and he introduced to Qin Baoming: "Baoming! You don't know something. In October this year, the commune advocated that the rations should be provided by the commune, The production team is in charge and a big pot rice system is implemented.”

"In order for the villagers to have enough to eat, the canteen in the village has to steam a lot of steamed buns every day. As a result, over time, the food in the village is not enough to eat. Now the food in the warehouse can only last for three days. If there is no food Otherwise, this year will be impossible.”

When Qin Baoming heard the situation introduced by Qin Daguo, there was an incredible expression on his face, and he asked Qin Daguo curiously: "Brother Daguo!" I remember that this year's autumn harvest, in addition to the public grain turned over in our village, each household received 100 yuan. How can there not be enough food to eat with so much food?"

When Qin Baohua heard Qin Baoming's question, he thought of the real reason why the food in the village was not enough, and introduced to Qin Baoming, "Brother Baoming! I'm all to blame for this!"

"I was concerned about keeping the villagers well fed and asking the canteen to cook more meals every day. However, I neglected the problem of food consumption. By the time we discovered this problem, there was not much food left in the warehouse."

After hearing Qin Baohua's introduction, Qin Baoming thought of the actual situation at home and asked Qin's mother: "My dear! How many food stamps are left in our family?"

"Baoming! We came to the city this time not to ask for help from your family, but to ask for your help with other things." When Qin Daguo heard what Qin Baoming said to Qin's mother, he immediately realized that Qin Baoming had misunderstood their purpose, and hurriedly He opened his mouth and said to Qin Baoming.

Qin Baoming heard Qin Daguo's words, and asked Qin Daguo curiously: "Brother Daguo! Then what do you want from me?"

Hearing Qin Baoming's inquiry, Qin Daguo thought of their real purpose, and said a little embarrassedly: "Bao Ming! Isn't your Huairu's neighbor a cadre of the supply and marketing cooperative? We want Huairu to help us find his neighbor Ask if you can help us buy some unplanned food."

When Qin Baoming learned Qin Daguo's true intention, he instinctively wanted to refuse. Thinking of the folks in Qinjia Village, Qin Baoming said to Qin Daguo: "Brother Daguo! Huairu has gone to work. He won't get off work until after five o'clock."

"Do you think it's okay? Today is the new year, so you might as well stay with me for the new year. As for the food, I'll ask Huairu for you when she comes back tonight."

Qin Daguo originally thought that after asking Qin Baoming about the situation, he rushed back to Qinjia Village overnight. Now that he heard Qin Baoming's retention and thought of the purpose of their trip, Qin Daguo said a little embarrassedly: "Baoming! Drive the cattle safely. The car is still waiting for us outside the entrance of the alley, so there is no need to eat."

When Qin Baoming heard what Qin Daguo said, he smiled and said to Qin Daguo: "Brother Daguo! Baohua came to my house, how could he go back without even eating a meal? Baohua! Go to the alley entrance and call Ping An in. You two Stay at my place tonight."

"Dad! Mom! Look what I brought here." As soon as Qin Baoming finished speaking, the curtain at the door was suddenly opened, and Qin Dabao walked into the house from the outside with two kilograms of pork belly in his hand.

Qin Dabao walked into the main room carrying the pork belly, and immediately saw Qin Daguo and Qin Baohua sitting in the main room, asking in surprise, "Uncle Uncle! Uncle Fifth! Why do you have time to go to the city today?"

Seeing Qin Dabao's family of three, Qin Daguo smiled and said to Qin Dabao: "Dabao! We don't have enough food in the village. Your fifth uncle and I came to the city today mainly to ask your father to find a way to see if we can Get some unplanned food."

Qin Dabao heard Qin Daguo's introduction, and asked Qin Daguo curiously: "Sanbo! Didn't I just help the village get two hundred catties of stick noodles a while ago? How come there is no food in the village?"

Qin Daguo heard Qin Dabao's inquiry and thought of the actual situation in Qinjia Village, and replied helplessly: "Dabao! I believe you are very clear about the situation in the village. So many people eat big pot rice, and those two hundred kilograms of stick noodles, There’s enough food there for several days!”

Qin Dabao heard the situation introduced by Qin Daguo, thought of the situation in the city, and said to Qin Daguo: "Sanbo! The city is also reducing the ration, so if you want to go to the city to buy food, you can only buy it at a high price on the black market." .”

After Qin Dabao heard Qin Dabao's suggestion, he thought about the price of food on the black market and said with a depressed look: "Dabao! We sent people to the black market. The food there is four times that of the grain station. There is so much money in our village. Buy it." Black market food!”

When Qin Dabao heard Qin Daguo's introduction, he immediately understood the reason why Qin Daguo sought his father. Thinking of the actual situation in the village, Qin Dabao said to Qin Baohua, "Fifth Uncle! I didn't blame you. I told you before, The canteen in the village must control the supply, but you ignored my words! "

"Dabao! Ping'an is still guarding the ox cart at the entrance of the alley, so hurry up and have a look at the entrance of the alley and ask Ping An to drive the ox cart to the yard. In the evening, your third uncle and fifth uncle will spend the Spring Festival at our house. "Qin Baoming saw his son scolding his cousin, in order to avoid Qin Baohua's embarrassment, he directly interrupted Qin Dabao and asked Qin Dabao to meet him at the entrance of the alley.
