The old days(84)

Because I had big things on my mind and waited for everything to be sorted out, when I looked back, I realized that the children seemed to have grown a lot in this year.

Lin Yutong looked through the small drawer at home where food stamps, oil stamps and money were kept. This thing has always been kept here. The children are grown up, so they can buy whatever they need. But this little year has passed.

, and when he was sorting out the drawers, Lin Yutong discovered that not many things inside had been moved. In other words, he had saved a lot without knowing it.

Only then did she ask Fourth Master: "I didn't even bother to take care of what to eat and drink at home. I thought I had given the tickets in exchange for Duanyang and Danyang. Why are there so many left?"

Are children better at taking charge of their own household than themselves?

The fourth master really didn't pay attention and took the things in Lin Yutong's hand and turned them over: "This is how these little monsters get the money and food."

Really?

The food was mainly brought back from Danyang.

Lin Yutong caught her at night and asked, "Did you get it from the experimental station?"

Danyang looked at her mother: "I am your and my father's biological daughter after all. How could I be so stupid? There are so many people in the experimental station, why should they listen to me? It's not the time to give up, it's time to turn a blind eye.

I turned a blind eye. Most of the grains and rapeseeds I planted were vegetables, and they were also vegetables grown from thinning. We brought them to the house and ate them ourselves, and then gave a portion to my elder brother. Others...we also stole them.

Share it one by one, but I will definitely take the smallest share. You can just use the things I brought back with peace of mind, it’s really okay.”

As soon as she explained, Lin Yutong understood. Doesn't the experimental station here send fruits and vegetables to Central D every year? It claims to be growing them for Chairman M. This suddenly became a template. After becoming a template

, many test stations in other places just come to ask for guidance. Now this is a production brigade and a test station. Anyway, this is the trend today. If you want to be a model and learn from others. When people come to ask for help, Danyang goes there. Go and tell them.

How to build a greenhouse, and how to manage it at any time. She goes there again and again, and people come to pick her up again and again, and she always drives a walking tractor. After finishing this trip, people will not ask her to run in vain, anyway

Everything grown in this experimental station is shared among everyone privately. It’s okay to show some of the Lin technician’s wishes. This can’t even be called fun. People call it gratitude. It’s hard to refuse such kindness!

Danyang is also smart. She never goes alone. She always takes someone with her. Today she takes this one, and tomorrow she takes that one. She also shares the things given by others. She feels like she has taken them all.

, on the contrary, there are fewer internal opinions.

During this year, we ate fine rice and noodles, and we never lacked vegetables, fruits, and fruits.

That's how things come.

It sounds like there is no problem.

Then two days later, I came back after dark with a pot of about two or three kilograms of rapeseed oil. I don’t know where I brought it back from last time. I hadn’t finished eating yet, so I got it again.

Hey! You can make movies about girls! Without parents to control you, you can have fun outside.

Even if what Danyang earns is not enough to eat, isn't there still a rising sun? He spends all his time repairing farm tools for others, and all he gets in exchange is food.

The only thing missing is meat. But meat is hard to buy outside, but you can get it in one place.

From where?

farm.

Today's farms are different from those in the past. In the past, the main task of the farm was to test agricultural machinery and tools for the factory. Whether it was planting things or raising poultry, it was all about experimentation and production. But it is different now.

, this place is closed to the public. The people locked inside are the kind of people who everyone would avoid when they see it.

Originally, if it were a general labor reform farm, you would still have to turn in food and the like, but the reason why this farm is different is that the land boundary was originally divided in the name of experiments. There are also a lot of mountainous areas in it.

There are trees planted, and whatever is suitable for planting is planted anyway, and it has basically not formed a scale. This place has been ignored intentionally or unintentionally. The guards guarding the farm are not willing to let anyone know the details inside.

The external view is that the people inside mainly focus on ideological reform. This is correct.

But in fact, in such a large area, even if the harvest is thin, it is actually quite a lot. The people there have never had any difficult days. In the mountains and forests, it is not often that

Rabbits can be lassoed, and the chickens are all free-range. The Xiaoxing couple and the Ohara couple live there. Danyang and the others get things that are not available on the farm, and they inevitably give some to their uncle and aunt.

It's a waste of time for the children to catch the rabbits, clean them up, cut them in half and ask the children to send them away. No one in the family will grow.

Danyang said to Lin Yutong: "My aunt has raised so many chickens that she doesn't even know. She keeps them all free-range in the mountains. She also told me that only when she comes to this place can she really enjoy herself."

That is to say, my family still relies on Ohara and Xiaoxing for support.

"No one helps anyone?" Danyang said: "The cotton my aunt gets on the farm can only be cotton. Without my eldest and second brothers to get the cotton out, can it be exchanged for cloth?"

The cotton was exchanged for spun cheesecloth, which had to be exchanged in the village.

It’s easy to say now, but it’s not easy to do even with children.

Seeing that it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather was slowly getting hotter. On the weekend before the Dragon Boat Festival, the scorching sun went out early in the morning, and she brought a sickle with her. Lin Yutong thought it was labor organized by the school. Who knew that this girl went out with a sickle?

Gone to cut the wormwood.

It's hard to find mugwort in the city, but in the countryside, on the wasteland on the roadside, there are patches of mugwort everywhere. Cut the mugwort, tie it up with hemp rope in three or five pieces, and then tie it up in handfuls.

stuffed it into a snakeskin bag. After putting the two bags together, I asked someone to hang the thing on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle. Then I got on the bicycle and left.

Jiaoyang is still young and has not yet stood up. Riding on such a big bicycle, it is difficult for her to reach the pedals and she has to use her toes to hook and move. Riding is not as difficult as others. Not to mention the back seat of this kind.

If she is carrying something, she cannot get on the bike from behind. Instead, she pulls her legs out from the beam. In order to ride faster, she has to ride on the beam and pedal. This posture is not suitable for a boy to ride, but it is like a bicycle.

The girl couldn't help but ride on it, and headed straight to the city.

When she goes to the city, she doesn't go to unfamiliar places, so she goes to the Children's Palace or the family home of the radio station. There are acquaintances here.

She sells mugwort like this for 20 cents a handful.

Those who know Jiaoyang come here to buy it, and then they yell at others to buy it too, saying who this child is, how sensible he is, etc.

Jiaoyang is also clever, so he asks people what they want, and he might be able to find a way to get it.

There was something like this the previous weekend. The vegetables and other things that Danyang brought home were not edible at home, so she sold them. Not afraid of being stopped, she went to the home of a teacher she knew, and the teacher greeted people directly.

Come to the door and give points.

It’s not easy to buy food nowadays. Everyone likes it if we can get something fresh.

Over a weekend, the price ranges from one to two yuan to two to three yuan.

After returning home, the money was conveniently put into the money box.

Lin Yutong felt sour in his heart when he saw it, so he just said, the money is not much less, and the food stamps and so on are still there. It turns out that no one in this family has a free meal.

The fourth master felt uncomfortable: "Dad can raise you, so you won't be in trouble."

Chaoyang said: "It has nothing to do with whether you can afford it or not. If you can make money on your own, don't be the one who only knows how to ask for it."

But now is really not a good time to make money on your own.

When Jiaoyang went to deliver two more baskets of vegetables, it was no longer possible. On the roads and alleys, there were people with red armbands. What were they doing? Check!

This is called cutting off the tail of capitalism.

The family only has a small amount of land on their own plot to raise a few chickens and grow some vegetables. When the vegetables come out, all the good vegetables are secretly brought to the city to exchange for money. This is not a unique business in Jiaoyang, otherwise

, and I don’t have to go to the family home of someone I know.

When there were a lot of people, a lot of people got caught when this activity started. When Sun Yat saw it, many people in front were being held down, and some were coming towards her. She put the basket down directly from the back seat of the bicycle, and then rode

The bicycle ran away. I didn’t want the vegetables or the basket. When I came back, I was still panting and called Chaoyang: "Second brother, tell the eldest brother to go quickly. If you can shovel the vegetables on your own land and put them away, you can put them away first... Hurry up."

…”

Before things were tidied up here, there was a commotion outside.

It is not an exaggeration to say that things are going crazy.

Chickens are no longer allowed to be raised. The chickens must either be stewed or confiscated.

Lin Yutong raises seven or eight chickens in a cage here, and the children are also fed diligently. Let alone five or six eggs a day, three or four or two or three can still be collected. With these few eggs in a day, in general

In other people's eyes, it's just a good dish.

This is true for workers’ families, let alone villagers’ families.

People call this a chicken butt bank, which shows how important a few chickens in a family are to a farm family.

How to do it?

Neighbors on both sides sat on the ground and howled until midnight for the few chickens they had at home, including those of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jiaoyang has made money before, so he knows how difficult it is to make money. Now he is squatting beside the chicken coop and is a little reluctant: "Why don't you put it on the terrace?"

Isn't this just a blind idea?

Every family has a terrace, how can it be okay? The factory has now issued a notice, and people will definitely be sent to inspect it later. Don’t plant vegetables or anything else in the yard, and what has been planted must be shoveled clean. Such things

, Don’t ask Ji Hanmei for conditions. The country’s policy is like this. It is different from other things. There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

As the head of the gold factory, you can’t take the lead.

There are eight big fat chickens laying eggs!

I really couldn't bear to kill him! Chaoyang also said: "If you can't, give it to my aunt and let it roam free in the mountains."

But when you go out, you will find that there are people patrolling everywhere. You can run wherever you want. Not to mention you have a chicken cage with you.

Lin Yutong said: "Kill him! I will kill him and give you meat to eat."

Jiao Yang is a sensible big boy, and he is greedy for meat and can't bear to eat chickens that are laying eggs. But what can be done? Fourth Master and Chaoyang are cleaning the vegetable field. Some of the cucumbers in the vegetable field have grown, and some have grown quickly.

The tomatoes are grown, and the ones that are as long and thin as a finger will definitely be eaten in another week. But now, they have to be chopped like this. And the tomatoes are just beginning to turn red, so the results cannot be kept, only
