The old days(44)

Regardless of whether it is barley or wheat, if the wheat seedlings are harvested, the crop will be forfeited.

It is estimated that the farm has been robbed a lot. Soon, the security department led people to patrol. I heard that in some places people were carrying guns. If they saw someone stealing, they would fire a warning shot. But this farm did not.

The elder is a very kind old man. This is what people say: "If there is nothing we can do, who will eat that? Okay, just lead people on patrol and let them know that this thing cannot be stolen."

Wheat crops are meant for people to look after, but alfalfa, which is grown on poor land for livestock, is deliberately not looked after. As the saying goes: "People don't have enough to eat, so they still care about the animals. The animals are hungry."

It’s great. You can eat whatever it is, but you won’t starve to death anyway… Just take care of people first…”

As a result, those alfalfas became everyone's favorite.

Nowadays, everyone only works for half a day and cannot afford to use up that much energy. The remaining half day is just for everyone to think of their own ways.

The alfalfa on the farm and the wild vegetables on the farm are everyone's goals. So, when we arrived at the farm, we found that the surrounding area was full of people.

If someone has relatives on the farm, they can take advantage. Most of the grass in their wheat fields is actually edible wild vegetables. It doesn't matter if they don't enter the wheat field, they are just waiting to pick up other people's grass.

As for people like Sister Miao, they just tell people: "We will help you weed, and you just ask us to take the wild vegetables away."

Then many adults, with their children, do voluntary labor for others in order to bring back some wild vegetables to make ends meet.

However, relatively speaking, the Lin family's rations are relatively loose.

Lin Baichuan's supply can be more sufficient. Moreover, the army has military reclamation farms, and people can be self-sufficient. I don't know how much better the water conservancy projects are compared with other places. But that's the case now. Wherever irrigation can be done, there are still harvests. So, like

Lin Baichuan was in a situation like this. Although the food quota was limited, the family still couldn't finish the hares, pheasants, and various vegetables provided by some old subordinates.

What he meant was that he wanted to bring his children to the Lin family. No matter what, his supplies would keep the children full.

But Jiaoyang is not very willing to go.

At home, there was no shortage of all kinds of biscuits and peach cakes. To be honest, she didn't feel hungry. But when she went to her grandma's house, she would definitely be full. She could eat some meat and eggs, but she wanted to eat

To enjoy yourself to the fullest, you have to be at your own home. Children are naturally protective of food, and they seem to understand that not too many people should know about the food at home. You can’t tell others that you eat a lot of good food every day. So if you don’t want to go, it’s hard to tell them.

Then I told my grandma and grandpa: "Leave everything for my brother and grandma to eat!"

My brother said Yuejin, and my great-grandmother said Mrs. Lin.

It means asking the old one to eat the small one, but she doesn't need to eat it.

He waved his little hands like a lucky cat and said, "I will definitely go play when I have time."

Lin Baichuan was amused: "Hey! We are quite busy in Jiaoyang."

"Yeah! I'm busy!" He looked serious.

Chang Qiuyun saw that each of her grandchildren had fair, tender, plump, and rosy faces, and there was something else she didn’t know about. Besides, every few days, her daughter would send her home baked goods.

Small cakes. They are soft and fluffy. The old lady and Yuan Chao like to eat them, so she always gives them to her. Don’t you know what this means? My daughter lives a richer life than her own family. My uncle has the ability and does not let his daughter starve.

.This is the greatest comfort to parents.

Parents don't feel bad about subsidizing their children, but if their children don't need to rely on their parents, then the parents will really feel relieved.

Chang Qiuyun put down the bacon in his arms to Lin Yutong: "When you are free, take the children back for dinner. There is no shortage of food for you at home."

Lin Yutong carried another half basket of sesame cakes and asked me to soak it in goat's milk.

After coming out of here, Chang Qiuyun glanced at Lin Baichuan and said proactively: "Go and have a look at Xiaoxing."

Lin Baichuan reached out for Chang Qiuyun's hand and squeezed it hard.

Chang Qiuyun shook him off: "Let the children see it."

The door of Xiaoxing's house is an ordinary wooden door. When the door is opened, the two children are sitting on the steps facing the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen is smoky and the couple's coughs can be heard.

Yuanhua's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them: "Grandpa...Grandma..."

The children called Chang Qiuyun grandma and Fan Yunqing grandma.

The two of them responded, and the people in the kitchen all poked their heads out when they heard it: "Dad, Mom."

Lin Baichuan touched the faces of the two children: "Tell grandpa, are you full?"

The two children looked at their parents and then lowered their heads.

Lin Baichuan knelt down and asked Yuanhua: "Can't you talk to grandpa?"

"I can eat well if I go to my aunt's house, but my mother won't ask me to go." He said like a mosquito humming.

Chang Qiuyun said: "You are the same. Is your sister an outsider? She gave the child half a mouthful of food and refused to allow it..."

"There are four children at my sister's side." Lin Xiaoxing said, "How can we ask them to cause trouble for my sister? My sister has taken care of us enough. She has not forgotten to give them good food. How can you call me sister?

Keep them?"

Chang Qiuyun took the two children and walked out: "It's not suitable for your sister to raise her, so ask your father to raise her."

"Mom!" Lin Xiaoxing and Su Jin chased after each other, "You...you still have Yuan Korea and Yuejin at home..."

Chang Qiuyun didn't say anything. She pulled the two children away from her and whispered to them: "Go home with grandma, and grandma will make dumplings for you..."

Then the two children suddenly started running, as if they were afraid of being caught by their parents.

Lin Baichuan went to Xiaoxing's kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. Inside were alfalfa and cornmeal dumplings. "Just you two, eat it. You don't have to worry about the child."

The two of them have 21 kilograms of grain each. If they eat it with vegetables, they can basically eat 70% to 80% full.

"Dad!" Lin Xiaoxing pulled Lin Baichuan: "I..."

"Okay!" Lin Baichuan patted Xiaoxing, "If you have any difficulties, just go home. You will always be there to eat at home."

Chang Qiuyun had seen the children here and knew many people in the factory. She took the two children out and said hello to each other when she met people in the factory?

People asked: "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Chang Qiuyun said cheerfully: "Go to pick up your granddaughter and see how thin the two children are!"

This food is so valuable nowadays!

Everyone knows what kind of relationship Chang Qiuyun and Lin Xiaoxing have.

At this time, those who have a stutter will not be given to their children and grandchildren. Instead, they will take the two daughters of Xiaoxing's family with them. It is good to think like this.

Someone teased the child: "Go and eat delicious food and come back...come to my house to play with Niuniu."

Yuanhua smiled and said: "I'm not coming back...I'm going back home with my grandma and grandpa..."

Chang Qiuyun said: "Yes! We won't come back for the time being."

Or keep it for a long time.

After Chang Qiuyun and Lin Baichuan left, many people said to Xiaoxing: "Your mother is really mean to you."

Ten heads mean that they are full of heart and not mixed with any falsehood.

When Fan Yunqing found out, he went over, pulled Xiaoxing and sighed: "Look! You are right to listen to me. It's not that your father doesn't love you. Your mother... is a rare smart person..."

Lin Xiaoxing didn't like hearing these words, so he said: "This has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not."

Fan Yunqing smiled bitterly in his heart: What a silly girl!

Seeing that her daughter was not willing to listen, she stopped talking and changed the subject: "A few of your sister's family are also going?"

"Probably not." Lin Xiaoxing said, "My brother-in-law has a broad career, and the family should be able to make ends meet..."

This sentence has a lot of clues, but it gave Fan Yunqing some inspiration: It doesn't matter if you don't have the means to buy grain from the black market, there are probably people who have the means.

At this moment, she thought of Lao An's wife, Dang Chunhua.

Some people plan to buy grain from the black market, but some people plan to open up wasteland.

In the evening, fourth master Lin Yutong and Duanyang went to the other side of the wall, intending to clear out this area.

It used to be an acre of land, but now it's dry and the water at the edge of the swamp has long disappeared.

Originally, I wanted to open up wasteland, but now the fourth master has given up the idea. This area is too big, with dozens of acres of land, the water has almost receded.

If we plant sweet potatoes, to be honest, we should have quite a harvest.

If you can think of it yourself, others will think of it sooner or later. If others find out then, it will be a bad thing.

When this principle is mentioned to Duanyang, it makes Duanyang feel distressed.

Not only can't you plant it yourself, but you also have to cover up the area next to your wall. The hole must be filled in at least half.

After all these were taken care of, Fourth Master went directly to Zhao Ping and asked if the factory would open up that wasteland and plant some sweet potatoes, which would be a good harvest.

Zhao Ping slapped his head: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise we will miss the farming season."

Seed! Of course you have to sow!

Not only that piece of wasteland must be planted, but also all open spaces in the factory must be planted. All the flowers in the flower beds can be pulled out, and we can all plant sweet potatoes. If you harvest one more, you can save one more person.

As a result, the wall separating Lin Yutong's house from the wasteland was knocked down.

When I wasn't at work for the rest of the day, everyone was out in this wasteland.

This area was originally a wetland, so the groundwater is naturally more abundant than elsewhere. Pressure wells were built to irrigate it.

For a time, this place gave hope to the entire factory.
