All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

The breakfast at the Educated Youth Institute is very simple. It consists of a large pot of corn porridge, steamed buns, and pickles. This is what the educated youth eat every day.

The Yue Wenxuan brother and sister's dishes have not been returned yet, and the two of them used lunch boxes.

In addition to the two of them, Zhai Yuanwei also took out his lunch box to eat, and he didn't know why.

The person in charge of cooking is Dong Yumeng. He puts three spoons of corn porridge into everyone's bowl. Each spoonful of porridge is very full. At first glance, he is a careful person.

Zhai Yuanwei deliberately ended up at the end. When he saw that there was not much polenta left in the pot, he frowned and said:

"Dong Yumeng, did you cook less today? There is only a little porridge left in the pot, it shouldn't be enough for three spoons, right?"

"I am a human being, not a machine. I may cook more or less porridge every day. How can it be just right every time?
If you feel that you will suffer a loss if you are the last one to make porridge, then you should finish it early tomorrow and no one will let you be the last one. "

Dong Yumeng put down the spoon in his hand and said without being polite at all, "In the past, in order to avoid not being able to share the porridge, I would always cook a little more each time, and the extra would be shared equally among everyone. No one would get the benefit of the porridge, and no one would get the benefit of the porridge. Who suffers.

But since you changed to a lunch box and was the last one to make porridge, the extra food went into your lunch box.

Once or twice, no one will care, but as time goes by, everyone will have opinions, but they are embarrassed to argue with you just because of this matter.

I am responsible for cooking so I must take responsibility. I cannot let everyone suffer all the time.

In the future I will not deliberately do more, I will try my best to do it just right, maybe a little more, maybe a little less.

In this case, if you are the last one to earn a meal, you may get a little advantage sometimes, but you may also suffer a loss. Generally speaking, it is fair, and no one will say anything. "

After Dong Yumeng exposed his thoughts, Zhai Yuanwei looked a little embarrassed, but he still said firmly:
"You women are so careless. I haven't even thought about this. If you had told me earlier, I would definitely not be the last one in line.

I'm not a person who likes to take advantage of others. Since you care so much, then from now on, I'll be the first to fight. "

The person Sha Pingchang looked down on the most was Zhai Yuanwei. After someone exposed his thoughts, he could still speak so confidently and shamelessly. He sneered:
"Zhai Yuanwei, you are indeed good at scheming, but others are not fools. Just because you are too stingy and always want to take advantage of others, look at what our Educated Youth Academy has become like?

Even if you eat a pickle stick, you have to eat it separately!
I have never seen pickle strips divided up like this, just counting them one by one.

We were originally a very harmonious little group, but just because of the addition of a rat like you, we almost became enemies. "

Zhai Yuanwei also thought about building a good relationship with Sha Pingchang, but their personalities were so different that even if he talked to Sha Pingchang in a low voice, Sha Pingchang would not give him a good look.

As time passed, Zhai Yuanwei realized that it was impossible for him to become friends with him, so he stopped talking favorably to him.

Of course Zhai Yuanwei was unhappy when Sha Pingchang said something so unpleasant, and he immediately retorted:

"It sounds like you are so noble.

If you are really noble and selfless, then don't eat alone in the morning. Share the bowl of eggs you made with everyone. Even if you don't give it to me, I admire you as a good and selfless young man.

Can't you do it too?

Everyone lives together, food and supplies are mixed together, and of course the distribution must be as fair as possible.Even if I don't make any comments, if someone always suffers after a long time, they will still speak out and the score should be as fair as possible.

I made it clear before conflicts arose to avoid disputes over trivial matters. Is it still wrong to do so?
If you want to carry forward your style, then tell Dong Yumeng that from now on you will eat the smallest bun and the last one to eat.

If you do too much, the excess will be shared equally among everyone; if you do less, it will be borne by you personally.

If you are willing to be the person who promotes your style, I will definitely have no problem with it. "

"Except for you, no one else needs me to promote my style, because everyone has self-esteem and is willing to be humble."

Sha Pingchang ended the quarrel with one sentence.

Such quarrels may have happened frequently in the past, and no one took them seriously.

Zhai Yuanwei served the porridge himself, while Dong Yumeng continued to share pickles with everyone.

The pickles were chopped into fine pieces and put in a basin. Dong Yumeng used a smaller spoon to serve each person a spoonful.

Yue Wenxuan has never seen such a picky person in his entire life. Yue Hongying's collective life experience is limited to school life experience, let alone never seen such a picky person. It is very strange.

She reached out and touched Xiao Haiyan beside her, "Why do you even have to divide the pickles like this? I thought you could eat whatever you want in the countryside."

“When this year’s fresh vegetables come out, I’ll probably be able to eat them as much as I want.

But not now. Even if we arrived early, we only checked in in the twelfth lunar month of last year.

The pickle sticks and Chinese cabbage we eat now are all distributed by the fellow villagers. The quantity is naturally not much, and it is barely enough to eat.

There are still several months before fresh vegetables arrive, so we can only save some food. Even if we eat pickles, we have to be careful. There is no way. "Xiao Haiyan explained patiently.

"Are the pickles and Chinese cabbage the only vegetables we eat every day? There are no other vegetables in the winter. At least there should be radishes and potatoes, right?" Yue Hongying continued to ask.

“This is a rural area, not a city. We can only eat what vegetables the villagers grow.

Dahe Village doesn’t grow potatoes, so we can’t eat potatoes.Radishes are not easy to store, so there are very few radishes grown.

The only vegetables the villagers have for the winter are Chinese cabbage and pickle sticks, and nothing else.

Those of us who came early have been eating Chinese cabbage and pickle sticks for two months, and it almost made me vomit.

But even if there are only these two dishes, the quantity is not much, so you have to save money every day. "

Xiao Haiyan comes from an ordinary working-class family, but even if her family conditions are average, she can at least eat radishes, potatoes, fermented bean curd, etc. in winter, and occasionally tofu and vermicelli.

After eating Chinese cabbage and pickles for two months now, he felt that his stomach could no longer bear it.

Yue Hongying looked at the few pickle strips on the lid of the lunch box. The quantity was really small, and even she, a little girl with a moderate appetite, couldn't eat enough.

"No wonder the pickle strips have to be divided equally. Just a little bit is definitely not enough to eat. What should we eat for lunch and dinner? What kind of dishes are there?" Yue Hongying has just arrived and is very curious about everything here.

"When we eat now, we plan according to the ration of one kilogram of grain every day. Breakfast is one steamed bun and a bowl of polenta, with only pickle sticks as a side dish; lunch is two steamed buns, no polenta, no soup, only plain water, mostly Sometimes I cook stir-fried cabbage, and sometimes cold cabbage heart; for dinner, I have two bowls of polenta, no steamed buns, and pickle sticks as a side dish.

Improve your life once a week, eat steamed buns with steamed noodles once a week, and add more oil to stir-fry cabbage. "

After listening to Xiao Haiyan's words, Yue Hongying, who had originally longed for life after jumping in line, suddenly felt pressure in her heart.

In the past six months, my family's living conditions have been very good, and I can eat meat twice a week.Even when conditions were difficult in the past, the food was no different from that of ordinary families. The food they ate was ordinary, not bad. At least it was much better than the life in Dahe Village.

When I think about the days ahead, before the new vegetables arrive, I will have to eat pickle sticks and Chinese cabbage every day. The mixed-noodle steamed bread, which was already a bit hard to swallow, becomes even more bitter in my mouth.

The days are still a bit short now, and the winter working hours are implemented, so there is no need to work in the morning. After hearing the announcement in the village, the educated youths start going out to work at seven o'clock.

The Yue Wenxuan brother and sister also left the Educated Youth Home. Instead of going directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, they came to the uncle's house first.

The rest of the family had already gone to work, only the uncle stayed behind to wait for the two of them.

As soon as they met, Yue Jinhai pointed to a bicycle in the courtyard and said:

"This is the bicycle from the brigade headquarters. No one is going to the commune for a meeting today, so I borrowed it for you two.

It will take two days before the resettlement office distributes the resettlement items assigned to you.Let me tell you what is there. Don’t buy too much. "

After Yue Jinhai gave some instructions, the two went into the house and sat for a while before riding their bicycles to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The commune of Dahe Village is located in Yunqiao Town, which is only five or six miles away from Dahe Village, which is not too far.

Commune members usually come to Yunqiao Town for daily shopping, and will only go to the city unless they are buying something in short supply.

The resettlement office has issued all the important daily necessities that are indispensable in daily life, so the two of them didn't buy much.

Yue Wenxuan had already made preparations for going to the countryside in advance. He had bought everything he would need after going to the countryside. Basically, he didn't lack anything.

It's just that these things are all in his space. He has to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to see what is available locally so that he can slowly take them out and use them in the future.

After walking around the supply and marketing cooperative, he bought some small items such as toothpaste, soap, and toilet paper with some tickets that he had exchanged in advance for common use in the province.

Although it is a township-level supply and marketing cooperative, the items in the counter are very complete, including basically all daily necessities.

That is to say, you cannot buy large items such as watches and bicycles here. If you need to buy these valuable items, you can only go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

Yue Hongying saw many people queuing up to buy brown sugar. She came to Yue Wenxuan and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, do you have brown sugar tickets there? I heard them say that brown sugar is in short supply. You can't buy it normally. It just arrived today, so everyone came to grab it.

Brown sugar will not expire. If you have tickets there, we will buy them quickly to avoid being unable to buy them later. "

Yue Wenxuan collected a lot of rare tickets from the four big bosses, and he kept the long-term valid ones. Those with short validity periods were either sold by him for money, or exchanged for other common tickets in the province. of tickets.

Brown sugar tickets are important tickets that cannot be separated from life. Yue Wenxuan still had a lot of them. He took out a five-pound ticket and handed it to Yue Hongying. He gave her another ten yuan and said:

"I have a five-pound brown sugar ticket here. You go and buy it. Remember to ask them to divide it into one pound when packing it. When you go back, give one pound to the uncle and fourth uncle each.

I see there are quite a lot of people queuing up. I guess you won't be able to get in line for a while. I'll go out for a walk first. If you come back late, don't worry, just wait for me at the door. "

"Then you come back early."

Yue Hongying loved queuing up to buy things. She happily took the tickets and money and trotted to queue up.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Yue Wenxuan walked around on the street.

Although it is a rural town, it is not very prosperous. The important places of the commune are concentrated on this street.

In addition to the supply and marketing cooperative, important units on this street include the commune compound, the commune police station, the post office, and two restaurants.

After walking on this street for a while, Yue Wenxuan walked into the post office and sent a telegram to his family to report that he was safe.

When she woke up the next morning, thinking that she would have to work in the fields today, Yue Hongying felt a little anxious and a little hopeful.

After breakfast, Yue Wenxuan said to Hongying: "You go to the uncle's house to meet Hongmei first. On the first day on the ground, you don't know anything. Just follow her."

"Brother, please take your time to clean up, then I'll leave first."

Yue Hongying is a very motivated person. She is worried about being criticized for being late for work on her first day, so she would rather leave early than be late.

Bai Yating regarded Yue Wenxuan as her new target, so she deliberately taught Yue Hongying well in the past two days. When she saw that she did not work with Yue Wenxuan, she asked in confusion:
"Didn't Hongying get assigned to the fourth team? Why don't you go with you?"

Seeing others looking over in confusion, Yue Wenxuan explained: "Hongying was assigned to the fruit tree team, and we can't get along with each other."

Zhai Yuanwei has been in the team for more than two months, so he naturally knows that the members of the Fruit Tree Team are more leisurely, not to mention jealous.

He wanted to say a few harsh words, but thinking of Yue Wenxuan's identity, he swallowed the harsh words that came to his lips.

It can be seen from the way Yue Wenxuan is dressed that his conditions must be very good, and he is also the nephew of the captain, so he cannot be offended.

Others also had their own thoughts, but no matter what these people thought, no one said evil words.

Zuo Xiangqun was really happy for Yue Hongying and said happily:

"Hongying is too thin. I have been worried that she won't be able to bear the burden of working in the fields at such a young age.

Now it’s good, you don’t have to worry if you go to the fruit tree team. I heard that although the work of the fruit tree team is more complicated, the workload is not heavy, so it is most suitable for little girls. "

Although no one present said anything harsh, Yue Wenxuan still took the opportunity to explain:
“Originally, this spot in the Fruit Tree Team was supposed to belong to my sister-in-law. She was worried that Hongying would not be able to adapt when she first joined the team, so she gave up the spot.

We shouldn't have grabbed this spot, but it was the wish of our relatives and we couldn't shirk it, so we had no choice but to agree.To be honest, I feel quite ashamed. "
