Rebirth after the 1950s

"In fact, we can determine which one to eat first based on their shelf life, so as to avoid spoilage and waste."

"You are right, by the way, Mianmian, we have discussed how much food you plan to buy. Even though we are not as strong as you, in the past few months, especially during the autumn harvest, the two of us have Isn’t the amount of food usually getting longer? We plan to buy more.”

"Do you have a place to store it? The weather here is very cold in winter, and many things are afraid of freezing. Another thing is that even if we buy more grain, we can only sell coarse grains. From current observations, when we buy grain in the brigade, the most It’s just sweet potatoes.”

"We both know this, so we plan to dig a cellar secretly. Do you want to dig one?"

"I've dug it a long time ago, but I have to tell you, if you dig a cellar, you can't dig it inside the house, you know? Don't dig it out by then and the house collapses."

"We really didn't think of this, hehe," Chen Junjie scratched his head in embarrassment and said

"You can dig it anywhere in the yard or in the woodshed."

Chen Junjie thought for a while and said: "Don't say it, it's really okay."

"By the way, how much food do you plan to buy?"

"We plan to see how much food we can distribute, and then buy some according to this amount. When we came this year, it was the end of May and the beginning of June. More than five months have passed in the year, plus here The winter is long, so it will take a year for us to distribute food again next year. In addition, we work for more than two months less than others, and we earn fewer work points. So we’d better buy more.”

"It's okay, but it's better for us to buy more. Not to mention buying other things, let's buy an extra one or two hundred pounds of sweet potatoes, so that we don't have enough by then."

"You're right, what about you, Mianmian, how much do you plan to buy?"

"I'll just buy it when the food is distributed. If I need two hundred more kilograms of sweet potatoes, the food I receive from the monthly subsidy alone won't be enough."

"It's true." Chen Junjie knew how much he ate.During the autumn harvest, they all ate lunch outside, and the two of them combined didn't eat as much as Mian Mian.During the autumn harvest, the two of them only had four steamed buns, plus a large bowl of vegetables and a large bowl of porridge.At that time, Mianmian's basket contained a jar of porridge, a jar of vegetables, and 10 steamed buns.Each portion is larger than the two of them combined. It can be said that there is almost enough food for one person.After thinking about it, the subsidy is definitely not enough.Otherwise, why would you not cheat and play around when you are at work, and go into the mountains to look for food after work?

As we were chatting, we heard a commotion in front of us saying that they were queuing up to share meat.The first people to share are the families who go up to the mountains to hunt. Each person is given 10 kilograms of meat first, and they can also pick their own.The rest is weighed to calculate the total weight, and if they are divided equally, they have to draw lots.

But no matter what, each person can get 5 kilograms of meat. Nowadays, every household is a big family, with more than a dozen or more than 15 people, so some families can get a hundred and eighty kilograms?When other people saw that the three of us had divided the weight between us and weighed only [-] kilograms in total, they felt a little relieved. Who told us that we are now a single family? This shows the benefits of a large population. We eat more meat than others.

But we don’t care. Besides, since we didn’t go up the mountain and didn’t contribute anything, it would be good if we can share it with us.

On the way back, Chen Enpeng asked: "Do you two want to change things with the fellow countrymen?"

After hearing this, I asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

"When I was helping somewhere just now, the third brother of Uncle Gu Qi's family told me that their family has the largest population in our brigade. In addition, there are three brothers in their family who went up the mountain together. In total, they have 135 kilograms of meat. Secretly He asked me if he wanted it, and if he wanted it, he would not go to the city to find someone to replace him, and the risk of going to the city was too high."

"Since their family has a large population, why don't they keep it for themselves?"

"Their family raised four pigs this year? They said they handed over one mission pig, sold two to the supply and marketing cooperative, and kept the remaining one for their own consumption."

"So that's it. Then they said how many hairs can be changed and how to change them."

"I told you, you can exchange it for 60 kilograms. The 30 kilograms are exchanged for the meat the three of them got up the mountain. The other 30 kilograms are exchanged for tickets or other things. Their children are all older. The family is separated and everything is missing.”

"Okay, let's change it. How much do you want?"

"How about we divide it equally between the three of us."

"Can"

"It's just that we don't have many votes, so?"

"Then I'll exchange them all with tickets or other things."

"it is good"

"Did you say when it was over?"

"After dark"

"That's okay. It's getting late. Let's go cook and eat quickly."

"Lao San, are you sure those three educated youths are coming back?" asked the old lady of Gu Lao Qi's family.

"Mom, I, I'm not sure either."

"Not sure. What did you say? You're happy for nothing."

"Okay, old woman, we'll know after dark whether they come or not. Besides, the weather isn't hot anymore, and the meat can be stored here. If they don't come, we'll just have to let the three brothers go to the county town tomorrow. "Gu Laoqi said

"Okay, it's just that it's too risky to go to the county seat," Grandma Qi said.

"Then there's no way?"

Not long after it got dark, Gu Laoqi's family heard someone knocking on the door.

"Third brother, hurry up and open the door."

"It's Dad" he said and ran out. When he got to the door, he asked "Who is it?"

"It's me, third brother, Chen Enpeng"

"It's Chen Zhiqing, come in quickly" he said and opened the door.

"Third brother, here we come"

"When I entered the house, I said I took a special look outside the door to see if there was anyone.

"Mom, Dad, Chen Zhiqing and the others are here."

"Come in quickly," Grandma Qi said

"Hello Grandma Qi, hello Grandpa Qi"

“good good”

Gu Laoqi saw the three people in front of him and asked: "How much do you plan to exchange?"

"I heard from the third brother that we can give out 60 kilograms. We plan to exchange them all, usually with money and half with other things."

"Everything has been changed," Grandma Qi asked in surprise.

"Grandma Qi will tell you and Grandpa Qi that the joke is, the three of us came to our brigade and it will only take less than 5 months to reach full capacity. After a period of time, when the food is distributed, there will be no food at all. When the food is distributed next year, So we plan to change more as long as it’s edible.”

After hearing this, Grandma Qi thought for a while and said, "That's the truth."

After hearing this, Gu Laoqi said: "If you have this success, your life will not be any worse in the future. In addition, if you are willing to work hard, there will be no problem in having enough food in our place."

"You have to rely on Grandpa Seven and Grandma Seven to give you more guidance, otherwise it would be difficult to just rely on the three of us."

"What's the difficulty? When it's difficult and there are no Japanese here,
