Qin Guoshu did what he said, and the next morning, after eating a few pieces of rabbit meat, he prepared to go to the county town with the water soaked at the bottom of yesterday's chicken soup pot.
As for the rabbit meat that appeared out of thin air, Comrade Qin Guoshu was numb, and there were two things like opening a small stove. The second time he accepted it was much better.
And there is not much meat, I still eat it myself, so I can't talk about my family.
Looking at the old man and his mother, the cheeks are not longer and rounder, and he can't say anything. After all, he is useless as a son and captain, and he can't give them a good life.
Qin Guoshu said this idea at home, saying that he wanted to go to the county town to see the situation over there, so as not to be blinded by smearing his eyes, except for the words given by the commune, he had to go and see how other people's lives were like. What's the county's policy? If you look at it more and walk around, maybe you can find a way out for the team.
If it really doesn’t work, just look at the grain station to see if there is any grain. The wealthy households contribute money, buy grain together, and then sell the fine grain that they have collected. If it is replaced by coarse grain, it will last a long time.
Chen Qiuhua clapped his hands and said, "That's a good idea. Son, you should have done this long ago. As a cadre, you have to be more flexible. How can you protect one acre of land?"
He also patted the third son's arm and said, "Let the third son of our family come with you. He has an active mind and understands everything. Let your brother give you advice when he encounters it."
Qin Guoshu glanced at his third brother, who was arrogant. The guy was casually teasing his little niece with a straw grasshopper.
Qin Guoshu had some doubts on his face, and said uncertainly, "Mom, are you sure that the third child did not cause trouble with the past?"
His third brother is the thorn of the thorns, the eldest brother among the hooligans. He does whatever he wants, which makes people confused. With this temperament, how can Qin Guoshu feel relieved? If it really matters, what should he do if he destroys it
This time, he brought a mission to the county town. It is not easy to go to the county. There are many things in the team. .
Regarding the livelihood of thousands of people on the entire production team, Qin Guoshu really didn't want to make a joke. In his dreams, he wanted to feed his parents and fellow villagers.
I forgot to mention that when Chen Qiuhua and the old man Qin were young, they were recruited by the county town to reclaim the reservoir. How tiring was that time, not everyone had a tool, and sometimes they dug holes with their bare hands. , the efficiency is also slow.
It has been a few months since the old Qin family gave birth to an eldest son, and the old man did not take it. I have a meal at home, and he will take it with him tomorrow. During that short half year, he was able to survive by eating a hundred meals.
Qin Guoshu was deeply impressed by this, and it was precisely because of this experience that he felt a sense of responsibility. He felt that the whole village was his responsibility. Don't look at Chen Qiuhua's dislike of his son. It's a bit dull, but knowing gratitude and responsibility is a good boy.
Chen Qiuhua slapped her son's face back with a slap, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? No matter how good your brother is, his brain is better than yours!"
Qin Guoshu blushed, it was undeniable that his younger brother was indeed smarter, but unfortunately, he was smart and did not need to be on the right track. When he was working in the production team, he just thought about how to bully honest people and how to be lazy.
Qin Guoshu was afraid that his younger brother would make mistakes if he was not trustworthy.
At this moment, a pair of soft hands hugged his thighs, and the cute little doll like Yuxue raised her head and said softly, "Uncle, Dad is great, you trust Dad, he can do it."
Tuanzi made a suggestion, tilted his head and said, "Otherwise, Yinyin will go too, and Yinyin will help the uncle watch Dad and prevent him from doing bad things."
Qin Guoshu: "..." Bringing an unreliable rogue younger brother is tired enough, but also a milk baby
Qin Yuli raised his eyebrows high, lifted the cub by the back collar, picked her up, hung her on his arm, and made a gesture to throw her out. The dumpling smiled happily, thinking that his father was playing with her, and pulled her tightly. Holding on to him, "Hahaha, Dad can't throw it away, can't throw it away."
Qin Yuli: "..."
Qin Guoshu had even more headaches, seeing that the father and daughter were completely a big child with a small child, none of them were unreliable.
Unexpectedly, his mother was quite happy when she heard it, and she thought it was fine, so she immediately said, "Let Nan and Nan go too, and Nan Nan will not cause trouble for you."
Chen Qiuhua followed her little granddaughter everywhere, thinking that her granddaughter was three years old and had never been to the county seat.
After speaking, he ran back to the house, took out two tickets, a cloth ticket, and a snack ticket, and said, "We have been here for so long, and we haven't made any new clothes. Go to the supply and marketing agency to pull a piece of muslin cloth and come back, and buy some sugar cakes to eat along the way."
A few children were about to go to school with schoolbags made of discarded fabrics on their backs. When they heard this, they turned their heads three times and looked at their grandma.
Chen Qiuhua stared at him disapprovingly: "You have made fewer clothes before? My sister just came to our house, but she didn't make any of them."
Dahua said, "Isn't the one your sister is wearing also new?"
Chen Qiuhua: "It was made by your third uncle's new clothes. If you want, you can also use your father's clothes to make it. Milk won't stop you."
Dahua: "..." Her father is more stingy than the poorest man in the village, especially with herself. Dahua said that she has grown up so much that she has never seen her father in new clothes.
Although I feel that my mother-in-law is too good to my brother-in-law's cheap daughter, Zhao Yueya and Li Sulai still have nothing to say.
The meat eaten these days was brought back by my brother-in-law, and there is still meat hanging in my mother-in-law's house. In the days to come, I may have to rely on this idea to live a life.
In addition, the mother-in-law's words are quite reasonable, the cheap niece has never pulled new cloth to make clothes, the baby's skin is tender, and the coarse cloth cannot be worn, especially the little niece's skin is tender and white, like a dumpling bun. It’s not enough to grow old clothes and coarse cloth. After all, it’s a one-time job of making new clothes. Buying a piece of cloth is nothing, and the money tickets are all from the mother-in-law, so they don’t have the right to speak.
The twins and sisters Dahua Xiaohua went back to school one step at a time, thinking about sister Yinyin's sugar cake.
The milk told me to buy a sugar cake for my sister. The children only heard the name and never tasted it. I heard that it tasted soft and sweet. I heard from the chubby gangster in the commune primary school that the sugar cake was still sweet. In terms of taste, milk-flavored and fruit-flavored ones are more expensive, and ordinary ones are cheaper.
Even if it is ordinary, it is extremely attractive to children, even more than the temptation of new clothes.
Qin Guoshu was helpless. Under the influence of his mother, he could only take the unreliable father and daughter to the county town. He regretted it.
Yinyin was held by her father, Qin Guoshu was riding a dilapidated bicycle that was eliminated from the county seat, the only property of the production team, and was eliminated after being used by the commune for a few years. The unreliable duo sat in the back seat.
Qin Yuli held the cub and thought about it several times in his heart, thinking what would happen if he "accidentally" dropped the cub now
Thinking so in his heart, he held his hands tighter, as if he was afraid of falling out of the golden knot. Qin Yuli himself could not perceive this, and comforted himself that it was too obvious to do so, so let's find another opportunity.
He was almost standing in his father's arms, surrounded by his arms, and in front of him was the uncle who stepped on his feet and groaned. The dumplings were very happy, and opened their arms to face the wind, "Dad, it's fun outside!"
Qin Guoshu listened, and still took time to sigh with emotion. Even the three-year-old baby girl knew that the outside world was better than Dahuai Village. good day.
The county town was more lively than the town. Qin Guoshu didn't choose to go to the commune first. He annoyed the commune secretary that day, and wanted to do some research on his own first, then investigate other places, and then go to the leaders to reason with him when he had the confidence.
Most of the houses in the county town are covered with blue bricks and tiles, and there are also small buildings, mostly unit rooms, where the people who live there have food, coupons and iron rice bowls, which are very beautiful.
Qin Guoshu had no purpose, so he took his younger brother and little niece around.
When I see that kind of residential building, I can't help showing envious eyes, and then look at the factory uniforms and labels they wear, successful people.
After going around for a while, Qin Guoshu and the three went to the grain station first, inquired about the prices of various grains, and then inquired about the stock. As a result, the grain station was arrogant, saying that they had as much grain as they wanted, and it was not bad!
Qin Guoshu felt uncomfortable, there was still surplus grain in the city, why did he have to force the hardworking old peasants to the point of starvation
I asked again whether to replace refined grains with coarse grains
The aunt of the grain station waved her hand impatiently: "Shou Shou Shou, the sign is standing there, see for yourself!"
Qin Guoshu hadn't figured it out yet, but Qin Yuli figured it out. The price is lower than the black market exchange rate, but this transaction is allowed.
Qin Guoshu thought about going back to inform the members later that he would pull all the grains to complete the coarse grains, and not leave a single grain of fine grains!
Qin Guoshu stood at the entrance of the grain station, 1.75 meters was quite tall in this age of not being able to eat enough, and Chu looked sad at the grain plate there. Tuanzi stretched out his hand and patted his uncle on the shoulder, learning Grandpa patted the uncle on the shoulder, and Xiaomayin comforted: "Don't be sad, uncle, we will have something to eat, and we won't be hungry."
At this time, a middle-aged couple came in from outside, heard a three-year-old child say this, and looked over in surprise.
I saw the child who looked better than the dolls in the city in the New Year's pictorial, with a small fat face, and said like a little adult: "Uncle doesn't want to distribute food to those bad guys, Yinyin will help you next time. them."
Dumplings have experience in fighting, as long as they are a little more aggressive, the bad guys will be scared away.
On the day when the public grain was taken away from the team, the dumplings were held by the milk and stared at the whole process, watching the crying of those uncles, aunts and elderly grandparents, and also watching back home and shutting the door and scolding those who took away the grain The appearance of the villains, impressed by this incident, and especially indignant.
The middle-aged couple who came by saw this and found it interesting. They were very interested in teasing the doll and said, "Who is the bad guy? Grab your food?"
"They are bad and stole the food. Grandpa, grandpa, uncle, aunt, and brother and sister are going to starve. The milk said that they will eat grass in the future, just like big cows."
