The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1347 [1346] Rural Consumption (4000)

After the Lantern Festival, the eldest brother and the second brother reluctantly came to hug her and kiss her, because school was about to start and they couldn't play with her at home during the day.

Their area is not a mountainous area, and it is not considered poor. Several production teams built a school together, and no one lived in the school. There were five years in elementary school, three years in junior high school, and three years in high school. This is the school system after 70 years. In 78, middle school was changed to junior high school and senior high school for two years each. In [-], junior high school consisted of three years and high school two years.

In this day and age, the school system will change almost every few years, and the country is so big that every place is different. I can only say that it is generally the same. Although the eldest brother is 11 years old and the second brother is nine years old, but because In the past few years, the conditions were difficult and I owed foreign debts, so I have never had the opportunity to go to school. The two are now in the second grade together, and only in the third grade in the fall. Fortunately, they are not too stupid, and the two brothers still study together. The motivation is relatively foot.

Moreover, the ages of the primary school stage in this era are also varied. It is normal for teenagers to go to the third and fourth grades. The purpose is to recognize a few words and do arithmetic.

Dad suffered from being uneducated, so he himself studied very hard in the literacy class. If not, he would not be able to get the current job if he could not understand the reference books for tractors. After he realized that reading can really change After the status quo, they said that no matter how hard it is, the child should go to school. No, the two brothers have only started to go to school for two years, and they also said that they will send him to school when they are three or seven years old.

The tuition fee is currently three yuan a semester, and the cost of books is still at their own expense.

No one attends the Yuhong class in the countryside, so it doesn't run.

Dad started to work in the production team after the [-]th day of the first lunar month. During the first few months of the year, he was allowed to go out to find work, but he was not allowed to go out after the year, because you are a member of the commune, and you need to report when you go out, and after the spring, you will be in the field. Weeding, watering, fertilizing and other tasks also need to be busy. As the vice-captain's father, naturally he has to take the lead.

Father was busy, so mother must be busy too, so the third brother carried her on his back to dig wormwood and shepherd's purse in the river beach, and gave her bread crumbs and water when she was hungry. When I come back from outside, I will go to my mother to feed me with my back on my back, and I will usually go to bed at this time.

After falling asleep, my brother would take her home again. This is how she lived every day. Of course, she didn't want to be so restrained. As long as she was placed in the seat by them, she would stand up with her legs crossed, trying to turn outwards. Later they put her next to the bed. Although her legs were not very agile, she was able to support the bed and walk.

In order to walk as soon as possible and get rid of the hassle of carrying and hugging her around, she is not a real child, she is not a real child, and she wants to rely on herself for everything, so while her language skills are improving by leaps and bounds, although The weather was getting warmer day by day, and as soon as she took off her heavy clothes, she walked miraculously.

Less than 11 months old, in February of Yangchun, when she was having dinner with her family, she walked up on her short legs. She surprised her brother so much that he dared not speak, and took her mother's hand to show her. So, the whole family happily applauded her.

After she will leave, the first words of my parents are: "You guys, put away the scissors, knives, bowls and chopsticks in a while, don't let her talk about it, now she will go, it is When you are curious about everything, you have to be careful."

Ding Wei rolled her eyes in her heart: "Please, I'm not a real kid, how could I be curious about those things?"

After she left, the two elder brothers protected her all the way, and they liked to hold her little hand and lead her wherever she went, and she would turn around and stretch out her hands for a hug only when she was tired.

Usually, the third brother is holding her, the fourth brother is carrying her, and the two of them switch. Besides, she doesn’t eat breastmilk very much now, so she just eats normally. She may feel that she is too big and embarrassed, so she arrives one day. If you don't go to see your mother at night, you won't feel that there is something missing. When other children can't quit the night milk at night and are still touching while eating, she can already sleep with the meals at home.

My mother told my father more than once that this child is here to repay his kindness, and he has been worry-free since he was a child. How could there be such a caring daughter?
One of her favorite things to watch now is to sit in the yard and watch the hens forage for food, eat ants and bugs, and chatter with their sharp beaks.

Chickens are not allowed to be released because they are afraid of losing them. In the crazy age, everything was meat. A lame man in the next village stole someone’s dog, but the dog didn’t catch him. He also got rabies because of being bitten by a dog. It’s not like this. few.

Although their village is not considered rich, it is not poor either, and it is not yet possible for every household to open their doors and not be afraid of thieves, and they have developed the habit of locking them when they go out and in.

Because everyone is not used to saving money in the booklet, every household has its own place to hide money. Since her eyesight is almost the same, she can see where her mother hides the money at home.

When they don’t work in winter and their children are at home, they have one meal at ten o’clock in the morning and one meal at four o’clock in the afternoon. They eat two meals a day. Only she will have extra meals.

Now those who go to school go to school, and those who go to work go to work. It’s not yet the busy farming season. The cafeteria is not open. They cook at home. Their family has three meals a day. Noodles at noon, rice porridge and steamed buns at night.

This vegetable nest is made of shepherd's purse, gray vegetable, white wormwood mixed with sweet potato flour and corn flour that their children dug from the ground to make steamed steamed buns. Only hers is made of white flour, because white noodles are not suitable for her age. , easy to digest.

Probably because she is the baby of this family, so she has never been hungry since she was born. On the contrary, when the elder brothers and half-children can eat, the meals at home can't keep up with their consumption. Sometimes mother They have to share their portion equally among the three children, but the elder brother and the second elder brother love their mother so much that they don’t want to eat it and insist on letting their mother eat it. Two children, one of the parents gave up half of the share to the children, what a pity for the parents of the world!
When my brothers took her out to play, because it was early spring, some grass sprouted out with white hairs on the tip, which tasted soft and sweet, and the thatch dug out from the river beach was also part of their snacks. There is no way, there is little food, so the children try to find snacks for themselves.

Grass sprouts are also called hair needles. Although they are called differently in different places, they are very delicious. My brother can pick a handful for her and let her sit by the side and slowly peel and eat them. Artemisia, if you see snails and snails in the shallows of the river, you will take off your shoes and go down to touch them. Anyway, children in rural areas are like this. They climb up and down every day and are very active.

If it wasn't because of her lack of energy, she would get sleepy after playing tired, and the brothers probably wouldn't know how to go home until dark. Children of this age are happy. Although life is bad and they suffer hardships, at least their spiritual world is happy. You can play casually every day, there is not much homework, and there is not so much pressure to study. Although the life of future generations is rich, their spiritual world is under the same pressure as Wuzhishan.

After so many lives, Tang Yuan still feels that she is the happiest in the rebirth, especially at this age, she doesn't have to think about anything, she just eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, how happy!

There are a lot of wild vegetables in spring. In this era of food scarcity, if you don't work hard, you may not be able to catch anything.

There are shepherd's purse and white wormwood in the first month and February, Chinese toon buds, mulberry ears, elm money, gray vegetables, wild amaranth, willow tips in March, sophora japonica in April, vegetables in May and June, peppers, tomatoes Eggplant, beans, cucumbers, etc., are very rich.

Whose family has many children and runs far away? There are also many wild strawberries and snake berries in the small woods, but Mr. Mushrooms does not let them pick them casually. Although there are many mushrooms after the rain, especially in the river beach forest, it is simply The paradise of fungi, even if the parents allow it to be collected, only those they know are allowed to be collected, and those who don’t know are not allowed to touch anything, because if you don’t pay attention, you will be poisoned.

And there are snakes in this day and age, she saw the children surrounded by a snake, not only was not afraid, but also picked it up and down with branches, she pulled her brothers and shouted 'run', in fact, she was not afraid, I'm just worried that they will be bitten, it's too dangerous.

In the end, an adult came over and threw the snake to death, and took it away, thinking that there would be a good snake soup to eat in the evening.

"My sister is scared, and she knows she's going to run away with her brother. You're so smart."

On the way home, the third brother carried her in a basket, the younger brother carried today's spoils in a basket, the older brother praised her as he walked, and she fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Mom and Dad have already cooked and waited, and as soon as they see her falling asleep, they will nag that her brothers are exhausting her.

"Your sister is still young, don't let her walk so far, don't get tired, it's time to grow up, if this girl grows short, it's hard to find her husband's house, try not to let her walk more in the future ,Did you know?"

"Mom, don't worry, I carried it on my back when I went, and I carried it on my back when I came back. She played for a while in the woods, and I even touched it. It won't make your precious girl tired."

Mother's breast milk disappeared naturally because of her resistance. She was so tired that she didn't want to get up to eat, but there were no snacks in the countryside. Eating after a meal was a cold pot and cold stove. Mom washed her face with hot water She woke up when she was holding hands, and had dinner with her family, and then she couldn't fall asleep and regained her energy.

The brothers wanted to take her out to continue playing, but they were held in their mother's arms and would not let go.

"Okay, I want to trick you. If Weiwei doesn't go, I'm worried that you will take her wild. What will happen if you don't have a home in the future?"

"Mom and Dad, you have worked all day, you are not tired, hold her again,"

"Why are you tired? I haven't hugged my daughter all day. I want to hug her for a while. If you're kidding me, I'll hug her and go for a walk."

After the weather is warm, everyone will eat their meals at dawn, and chat in twos and threes in the village after the meal. Even if there are no street lights and the road is not smooth, those who are familiar with this country road will not go wrong, three or five Groups of chattering, this is probably a rare moment of comfort during the slack season.

There are many trees planted in rural areas, especially edible trees such as mulberry tree, locust tree, and Chinese toon tree, including tung tree. When it blooms, adults and children go to eat it. Children suck the silk in the pistil. Silk flower honey, adults boil the flowers in water to make vegetable cakes, steamed buns, and dumplings. When eaten, there is a faint floral fragrance. It cannot be said to be particularly delicious, but it is not unpalatable.

In the era of food scarcity, as long as the poison is not dead, it can be used for cooking. For example, the tips of broom seedlings growing wildly on the roadside, the tips of wolfberry grass, pigtail grass, and noodle dishes have become the first choice for cold dishes After blanching, it can be served cold, or directly mixed with flour and steamed in a pot, which seems to be a skill that every housewife knows.

There is no soy sauce in this era, only soy sauce and vinegar, because the north is not as delicate as the south, so the soy sauce is divided into fine pieces, colored, and seasoned. Here, soy sauce is used when cooking, and salt is used for cold dishes. And vinegar with garlic chili, even sesame oil is extravagant.

Salt is coarse grained, which is relatively cheap. Few people buy fine salt, which is more than twice as expensive as coarse salt, at four to five cents a catty, while coarse salt is one cent and one catty, and soy sauce costs two cents. Mao, eight cents for vinegar.

In the place where soy sauce is made, a colander is one catty, and it is weighed. However, there are some people who are clever and sneaky inside. After working in a supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, they will find some loopholes to supplement themselves.

Soy sauce is more expensive. When cooking, it is necessary to pour a little bit of it. It has a color and a taste. Vinegar is relatively cheap, so the appearance rate of cold dishes throughout the year is always more than that of cooking, because cooking costs oil and seasoning. Cold dishes only need salt, vinegar, garlic and chili to create a good taste.

In the countryside, it is actually much better. More lard is squeezed during the Chinese New Year, enough to last for half a year, and then find a way to squeeze some rapeseed oil after eating.

Oil is very expensive in this era. In the city, oil tickets are needed. In places like the countryside, some rapeseed will be planted in private plots. However, there are few lands, and the rapeseed can’t squeeze much oil. For Nian Gen'er, he would have to live without any greasy smell.

A lot of salt is added when the pork is fried, so it can last from winter to spring, at most until spring, and it can’t be eaten in summer.

Mom cooks with a little pork to moisten the pot. Except for the meat that can be eaten in the first month, after entering February, there is very little meat.

Occasionally to improve the food, it is also when catching fish, shrimps and crabs in the river, or scrambled eggs or something. Meat is almost invisible in the countryside where meat tickets cannot be obtained. Last winter, five or six rabbits were trapped, and finally I didn't even want to eat one of them, and my father either gave them away or secretly sold them on the black market.

In this regard, the brothers have no complaints, because Dad brought back five catties of sweet potato noodles and five catties of corn flour. Steamed buns or steamed buns are very satisfying.
