Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

During this period, the authorities provided half a pound of vegetables per person per day based on the residents' official household registration and the number of people eating in the government canteen.

This half pound of vegetables may seem like a lot, but it is still not enough when eaten with food.

But when this regulation came out, some people regretted it after hearing it.

But there is no way to regret it. I am not single and it is impossible for me to ignore other people in my family.

No one would do this unless they don't care about the life or death of their family members.

Just like my family has two working parents and they have no plans to eat in the cafeteria, after all, there are children at home.

Even after joining the group, there was still a shortage of vegetables in the canteen. In the end, there was no vegetables left in the canteen and we had no choice but to use bean sprouts instead.

Even if bean sprouts are used as a substitute, there are regulations that 2 kilograms of soybeans are equivalent to 5 kilograms of bean sprouts.

Fortunately, soybeans are nutritious products, and eating more bean sprouts is good for the body.

For this reason, many hospital doctors prescribe "edema medicine" to edema patients, and soybeans are included in the supplementary foods supplied with special indicators.

Speaking of edema, many people, whether they are workers in the workplace, post office, or even in the family quarters, suffer from this disease.

At first, perhaps because there were so few people, the higher-ups did not take it seriously, but when many people got the disease.

Since January 61, the authorities have provided special care for patients with edema, subsidizing each person with 1 kilograms of fresh fish.

Isn’t there someone who is talking about it because he got a fish?

"Finally, we can see some meat!"

"Who says it's not?

This two-pound fish can last for a while if you eat it sparingly. "

"That's true. I haven't eaten fish for such a long time. I have to go home and make some."

"Yes."

After hearing this, he looked at Guo Huaian and didn't say anything more.

I hurried home to find the salted fish and bacon at home, waiting for someone to stew fish for me.

As soon as I smell the fishy smell in the air, I quickly put the salted fish in the pot. I cooked half a pot of salted fish. Even if I couldn’t finish it in one meal, I could keep it and eat it slowly.

As for the bacon, steam it quickly while the fishy smell is still there. It must be fed to the child.

Even though there are three children in the family and they receive subsidies every month, it is still too little after all. That little bit of nutrition is just a drop in the bucket for them.

The three children in the family, especially the two little ones, were educated by their older brother Dongdong and knew that they should never make a fuss when they were eating good food, otherwise they would definitely get a beating.

But he was still worried and talked to his three children about it.

"Listen carefully, the three of you. What we had for dinner today is not to be told to anyone outside.

Otherwise, from now on, let alone salted fish and bacon, you won’t get any share of other food, do you hear me?”

"Mom, don't worry, I understand. I won't tell anyone else, and I won't let my brothers and sisters tell."

"Mom, we won't tell."

"Did not say."

"Then let me ask you, what did you eat at home today?"

"I……"

"Xiaofeng speaks first."

"Steamed bread."

"What kind of food is that?"

"Gray-gray vegetables!"

"anything else?"

"me"

"Xiaoying, you speak."

"pickle!"

"Any more?"

"Barley porridge."

"Besides porridge?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, from now on, no matter who asks, as long as you leave our house, you have to say this."

"why?

Mother. "

"Yes?

What are you asking?

The two little ones, who were at an age when they were curious, spoke to the eldest son.

"Comrade Guo Dong, please explain the reason to our comrades Guo Ying and Guo Feng."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Whenever this happens, I throw the question to my eldest son, since I have already told him the answer before.

Now is the time to test him and educate his other two children.

So I was just listening to what the boss was saying while I was busy with my work.

You know what, this is much more effective than talking to the two little ones myself.

I didn’t hear the two little guys continue what their brother said.

"So, brother, besides not being able to talk about it, is it true that you can't take anything you eat out?"

"Yes, we can't take it out. There are many bad people outside."

"What if it's a best friend?"

"Even friends can't do that, because if you give to friends, you'll just starve."

"what?

Why? "

"Because the things in our house are limited, whoever owns it owns it, and you can't give it to others. If you give it to others, you will have nothing left."

"What if other people are hungry too?"

"So do you think it's better for you to starve, or for others to starve?"

"I don't want to be hungry!"

"I don't want to be hungry either."

“If you don’t want to go hungry, don’t share your food with others.

Even if it is not food, it cannot be shared with others.

Just like my hair flower, many people like it. Will you give it to me?"

"No, those are the hair flowers my mother made for me. I won't give them to others."

"What if the other party exchanges it for candy or something else?"

"this?"

"Little sister, do we have any candy that others have?"

"Have!"

"Do we have the cookies that others have?"

"Have!"

"Do we have something that other people don't have?"

"Have!"

"Will you change it?"

"No, the hairpin is mine, I won't change it."

"Right, let's not switch."

"But what if they snatch my hair?"

"That's easy, isn't Big Brother here?

If all else fails, you still have your parents at home. How could anyone bully you?

Not to mention stealing your things?"

"That's right!"

"But the most important thing is not to take the good stuff out. If you don't take it out, no one can grab it."

"Brother, isn't it just like food? As long as you eat it at home, no one else will know?"

"That's right, but there is one thing. If someone comes to your house, you can't eat in front of them, and you can't play with the toys at home in front of them.

Otherwise, what if the other party knows that you have delicious food and fun things and comes to your house every day? "

"what?

Big brother, no way? "

"Yes?

Brother! "

“Of course not, don’t you forget that no one can get enough food now, let alone toys?

If others knew that we had good food and toys at home, would they still kick him out?"

"That's right!"

"Then his parents don't give her food to eat or toys to play with?"

"That's his family's business, it has nothing to do with us. You have to know, if you give him food and toys, what if he becomes dependent on you?"

"this?"

"Have you forgotten that Sister Zhuzhu from the Zhang family next door saw that Sister Lanlan on the third floor was punished by her grandmother and had no food to eat, so she gave her own steamed bun to Sister Lanlan.
