Double Bracelets

Jiang Xijie knew very well that the harvest of the farmers who stayed behind was not good. Although she was not in charge of purchasing grain, she could see clearly when purchasing other materials.The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs now requires those who go down to collect grain to prepare according to the best time, that is, not to let go of the chaff that has been smashed.Collect them together.The standard set in the early years was 22 liang of rice or 26 liang of flour per person per day, 43 liang of canned meat, [-] liang of dried or pickled vegetables, [-] qian of salt, and [-] qian of soy sauce, and temporarily added [-] liang of shochu or [-] liang of white sugar. .This regulation was completely destroyed in [-].The affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been completely occupied, and the coastline has been completely blocked. The only routes to transport important strategic materials and households and concubines of officials and dignitaries, and food can only be supplied by the poor rear.Jiang Xijie once suggested to her boss and her uncle that someone must find a way to open up wasteland and cultivate land to ensure agricultural production. A province in Sichuan supplies more than half of the country's people. If there is any natural disaster, the consequences will be disastrous, and there must be systematic arrangements. Otherwise, starvation in the rear is a minor matter, but starvation in the front line is a major issue.The best thing is to be self-sufficient. As long as the self-sufficiency can continue, some alternative materials can also be widely planted. It is not enough to pay attention to the consumption of the southwestern provinces.Nothing.She later learned about the corruption of the army's logistics system, and unified procurement was unrealistic—it could neither guarantee transportation nor offend vested interests, so logistics could only guarantee the procurement and transportation of food, oil and salt, and the rest was left to the troops below. Decide.

Now the food supply can’t be supplied, Jiang Xijie thought while looking at the “food” mixed with chaff and weeds, what would the average soldier eat when it was sent to the army, level by level of corruption?They are so exhausted in managing the logistics here that they almost want to open a vegetable garden to grow vegetables, dry them and get them to the front line.But as long as the bureaucracy persists, it can never be expected to solve this problem.

One day she heard a rumor that the frontline soldiers ate the so-called "eight treasure rice": moldy rice, sand, stones, chaff, rice husk, barnyard grass, rat droppings and small bugs.

Deputy Director Jiang then threw the documents in the office full of documents.She wanted to get a few bags of sand and feed those corrupt masters until they died.The country has exhausted the resources of several provinces in the southwest and northwest to grow so little food, which can only supply six or two meters per day for each soldier!As a result, in the hands of the soldiers, six taels and three taels of sand!

Wang Jiyue works in the Nursery Association, follows the instructions every day, and strictly saves money inside the Nursery Association. The food the staff eats is light and simple, and what can be guaranteed is the diet of the children and nannies. For many people, this is considered a portion A job that never starves.I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible to support a family.Moreover, the number of places in the childcare club is also limited, and only so many individuals can be hired.Wang Jiyue is in charge of recruitment and training. The reduction in food production since last year has caused many farmers in the surrounding counties to leave their homes and flee to Chongqing City. They also join the ranks of childcare, or if they can't be sent there, they hope to be taken in as child laborers, which is very embarrassing.Those rural women burst into tears. Some knew they were not qualified to work and just wanted to keep their children;Wang Jiyue suffers from headaches every day.

When the two returned home, you could see that I was so indignant that I wanted to kill someone, and I saw that you were so frustrated, looking at each other and sighing, sitting in the yard to eat.Maybe it's because the whole family knows and accepts their special relationship, maybe it's because it's a kind of happiness to look up at the starry sky during the difficult years of depression. round of supper.

The whole family’s diet has maintained a consistent level of nutrition with the help of Zhao’s mother’s intensive cultivation of the family farm. Although Zhao’s mother is getting older, she is more energetic and loves to show off herself. She said that if Chongqing produces salt like Zigong, Give her a small salt well, and she can do more great things.Everyone just joked with her, Fu Yuanying still helped her with work every day, but Zhao's mother refused to let her, but she had a set of excuses - saying that the doctor told her not to rest for a while, otherwise she would become weaker and sicker as she grew up, and she had to move, at least Feed a chicken.Jiang Xijie wanted to discuss with Mrs. Xu, saying that food is getting more and more scarce and money is worthless, so it is better to cut down the badly damaged store in Linjiangmen and move it to the one in Nanjimen.What's more, I can only let the tenants who rented in Nanjimen leave, the business is over, let the shop assistants come to eat at home together, and help Zhao's mother to open up wasteland.Mrs. Xu agreed, but said that there is no rush, especially the tenants.Although the price increase is not the same as no price increase, but it will be very heavy to drive them away, and benevolence and justice are still necessary.

Mrs. Xu told her that you didn't open the shop for money, and having a tenant came is a good thing to some extent.Those who are still left must have nowhere to go. If you want to drive them away again, you will really force them to a dead end.

"Sometimes I think my aunt is amazing." "Huh? Why?" Dinner is very simple, scrambled eggs, boiled vegetables in salt water, and rice.The nutrition is there, and it is incomparable with the dishes made by Zhao Ma's amazing craftsmanship in the past.Jiang Xijie was tired, so she ate a few bites, put down the bowls and chopsticks to sit with Wang Jiyue, and reached out to pet the puppy "Victory" at home - it has grown up a lot now - the meaning and hope of the name are good, but no one can do it. I don't believe it all, especially her Jiang Xijie, "During the war years, I feel that I have become hard-hearted, but my aunt can still maintain a compassionate heart." Wang Jiyue smiled, put down the bowls and chopsticks after eating, and stretched out her hand to let the victory pass .This guy was having a good time rubbing under Jiang Xijie's hands, but when Wang Jiyue called him, he left immediately.Jiang Xijie smiled wryly, "It's really a meat bun beating a dog, you are my proposition to buy it back!" I dare not say that Wang Jiyue disagreed at that time.

"I am also hard-hearted every day. Sometimes I feel that my compassion is gone. No wonder the professor said that sometimes educators will become more and more hard-hearted. Especially in middle school education, but in university education. No. They focus on academics. Speaking of this, I heard that the life of the professors in Kunming is becoming more and more difficult. Today someone was looking for someone from the childcare association and said that they hoped to buy two barrels of milk powder in Chongqing and take them to Kunming to visit the sick. Teacher {44}." "Now who is not, don't you think about how much our salary is worth?" The two smiled wryly and shook their heads, "By the way, guess, who did I hear from today?"" Uncle's news?" Wang Jiyue nodded, and the two had such a tacit understanding, "Uncle sent it, saying that Dad arrived in Penang secretly at the beginning of the year, but he didn't let it be said, for fear of leaking. Now that I feel safer, I'm going to tell me. You know Why?" Jiang Xijie shook her head, "After Mrs. Sun set up a branch in Hong Kong, we went to Nanyang to set up two more branches. The main purpose was to raise donations. A lot of wealthy gentry in Nanyang have been molested, and now we need to continue looking for those who fled to If you are in Nanyang, just tell me, can you tell your family, ask your uncle to donate money, and say that you heard that your uncle has made a fortune in Malaya, etc. Huh," smiled contemptuously, "I wonder if he made a fortune. How do you know? My father probably heard this when the news reached my uncle. He rushed over here again. I really don’t know what he wants to do, so it’s best not to defect to the enemy.”

Jiang Xijie knew that she just wanted to talk and didn't necessarily need any attention. It's not good to hold back this kind of emotion, but she had to forget it as soon as she finished speaking, so she immediately changed the subject: "Didn't you tell Chanyue? She's been living in Fuzhou recently. Home." Wang Chanyue has been taking good care of Fu Yiheng, who is actually not that important since Fu Yiheng was injured, so she was tired from running around, so she simply went to live in Fu's house.Later, Fu Yiheng let her go back when it was easier for her to move around. The reason was that she had less work and was tired during the days off, so she should go home and sleep when she had time, and not come to accompany her to worry about it.This girl is obedient, and she will go home naturally when she takes a rest, and it will be the same on working days without a rest. "Women's colleges don't stay in college. On the contrary, Mama Zhao is reliable." "Huh? Where did you start?" When the two are together, I can still ask her how she is doing. Otherwise, with the posture of that guy Chanyue leaving early and returning late, I don’t want to know anything." "Oh." She deliberately prolonged the tone , "So? Aunt Fu is better now?" "It's much better. Although there is a piece of flesh missing on the upper arm, it may not grow out in this life, but if it is not infected, it will not affect her actions. At most, it will not be possible in this life." Just wear a sleeveless cheongsam." Jiang Xijie thought it was funny, "If you have an older sister, I guess, I have similar virtues in my older sister's mouth." Wang Jiyue glared at her, "I didn't mean to be mean to her. I just I think she is not as sincere as you. I heard that after the outbreak of the European War, the assets of the Fu family in Europe were also threatened. I have been hiding in Switzerland, and now I have no news."

The children over there are called Shengli, and Wang Jiyue patted its buttocks to let it pass. Instead, the two looked at the children lovingly playing together. Anyway, there is no hope of having children in this life. Nephews and nieces can be treated as if they were their own. It's up to each other. We chose to come to the rear, as if to isolate them deliberately." Wang Jiyue nodded, looking at the two Jiang family brothers and sisters, "Isolation is fine too. Otherwise, give us the opportunity, give it to Chanyue and Fu Auntie, tell me," Jiang Xijie turned sideways and listened very carefully, "Did you and your brothers be like this when you were young?"

"Where can it be! When I was a child..."

On a summer night in early May, it has been two years since I came to Chongqing. At this moment, the city of Yichang is under fire, and the sky is dyed red by the sunset glow, like the blood of countless people.

The news that General Zhang Zizhong was killed in the front line came out a few days ago. The government ordered a state funeral and required all relevant government personnel to attend the ceremony to welcome the coffin back to Chongqing in formal attire.Both Jiang and Wang's family identities and positions are required to attend.At Chuqimen Wharf on May 28, people in black or military uniforms stood by the river, watching the spirit ship slowly arrive.As far as the eye can see, there are billowing green smoke on both sides of the river. I heard that there are people spontaneously mourning on both sides of the waterway from Yichang to Chongqing.Jiang Xijie asked his brother before, wouldn't it be too dangerous for the military and government officials to gather together to welcome the coffin?What if there is an air strike?

Jiang Xize said that the Japanese found a coffin for General Zhang, wrapped it in a white cloth, erected a spiritual tablet, and buried him shallowly in a place where the national army could hide.In their character, they respect the martyred soldier who fought and died.On the day of welcoming the coffin, there will be no air raids.

The crowd was very solemn, and crying could be heard ahead.Jiang Xijie felt a little ironic, there were so many soldiers who died for the country, why did they cry one by one?Some people don't even have time to recover their remains.When she got home that night, she talked to Jiang Xize about it. Jiang Xize looked at her and said, "It's only natural for soldiers to die for their country. They don't fight to the death for the people to cry in mourning. Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about it." Thinking about the drought today and the loss of the frontline grain-producing areas, how will the grain be continued and whether it can be purchased outside.” After speaking, he went out again.

Director Jiang was still thinking about it, but for some reason, the bracelet on his hand was not as white as cream, and it was getting dirty day by day.
