5. Buy food

Aunt Jiang asked Yao Yuan to sit down on the stool, dragged the chair to him and sat in front of him, and then said to him, "Stupid, Aunt Jiang knows you are not stupid, and she knows more than anyone else. Your mother has disappeared for half a month and she has not seen anyone but the body is dead. You have to rely on me to take care of it. However, the food is not enough. Our family has three women, and the quantity is too small. I have twenty-seven kilograms, and the two girls have not yet worked, only twenty-five kilograms. I have bought all the food for this month, and I think it will be enough for at most one week. What should I do after this week?"

Yao Yuan was also worried about this. He suddenly thought of what he said before, and he had also gone back to this era alone, went to the river to catch fish and then hired people to catch fish. He went to the city to sell it, and finally made a lot of money.

He stuttered and told Aunt Jiang about this idea. The river is south of the dormitory area, and there must be fish there.

After hearing what he said, Aunt Jiang laughed and said, "I just said you are not stupid, you are stupid immediately. Just you know that fish can be eaten and sold for money. Others are fools, are they? How many people go fishing in the river after get off work, and there are also people who have made ground cages to suck fish and shrimp in the factory. Everyone doesn't have enough food to eat, so they eat whatever they catch. Now in this river, you just go fishing for a day, let alone fish, you can't even find a small shrimp!"

At this time, Jiang Kangkang brushed the bowl, came in from outside, and interrupted, "A fool is a fool, his head is different from ordinary people. Even the toads in the grass by the river have been fished every day, and they will be fished? Someone wants the elm leaves, so they are steamed in the nest with kanzi noodles!"

Yao Yuan remembered that the story told in that book was from the countryside. He argued: "There is no place here. The countryside is willing, there must be!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, even Jiang Meimei, who was sitting on the kang in the inner room, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Aunt Jiang finally stopped laughing and said to Yao Yuan: "Silly, why don't you think about it? Our factory has a fixed quantity, everyone has food, and all these things have been scattered. The lives of rural people are far inferior to us. Can these things be left behind? In 6 years, even the bark on the mountain was stripped away! Otherwise, the mountain is now desolate and there is no tree? At that time, the bark is stripped away and all are dead.

Yao Yuan grinned in his heart. This is really harmful to others. The writer sat at home and worked in a closed-door manner, saying nonsense. Have you ever seen life in that era? Did this insincere trick me into making a fool of me?

Now, Aunt Jiang believed that he was not stupid anymore, but now she treated him as a fool again.

Aunt Jiang was not satisfied and continued, "When I came to this place in 58th, Uncle Jiang and I came to this place, there were wild grass and woods everywhere on the mountain, and rabbits ran around the mountains and fields. There were also many wolves. When there was no food on the mountain in winter, they came to our dormitory area, which was scary!

Now look, besides the rabbit condom used for rabbits, where can you see the shadow of rabbits on the mountain? Not to mention rabbits, even the workers have caught wolves. This person is the worst. He is so hungry. No matter how powerful an animal is, as long as it can be eaten, it will turn into meat on everyone’s dining table!”

Yao Yuan thought about it, right? What kind of thing in this world can do better? He has really made up his mind and can actually believe in the nonsense of his hands!

But if the food is gone, how can you live?

Aunt Jiang left him to speak, of course she came up with the idea.

I heard Aunt Jiang say, "Silly, Aunt Jiang thinks so much. Isn't your mother missing? But she hasn't cancelled her household registration. Then there must be a quantitative measure for you and your mother in your family's grain book. Otherwise, let's buy your food back first with your family's grain book? Your mother is undergoing transformation and the grain is reduced, and it's 25 kilograms of food. You don't have a job, but even if you are 18 years old, a boy should have a quantitative measure of 27 kilograms of food. In this way, we have 52 kilograms of food, and we can last for about half a month."

Yao Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, go find it. I can't find it."

Aunt Jiang followed Yao Yuan to find their family’s food book.

Yao Yuan was just hiding the bronze bottle, but he didn't expect to search for Yao Daxia after his mother left, what would he leave?

Aunt Jiang followed him into the room and saw the locked drawer on the left side of the three-drawing table in the inner room. The locked key must also be on the string of keys.

Yao Yuan went to get the key and opened the drawer. Sure enough, the household registration book, the grain book, the supply certificate, and various bills were locked in the drawer, and there were two ten yuan in it.

Seeing the money, Aunt Jiang was happy and said, "I was worried about having a grain bank, where can I get money to buy the grain? I only have 32.5 yuan per month for my second-level worker. The two daughters are just the time to spend money. This money is not enough every month! Dasha, if you are willing, I will use the twenty yuan to buy food tomorrow, and I will give you the remaining aunt. When will the aunt have enough hands, I will pay you back the money for buying food."

Yao Yuan shook his head desperately, pulled all the bills and notebooks in the drawer into a pile, stuffed them into Aunt Jiang's hand, and said, "Aunt Jiang, give them to you. I don't want them."

Aunt Jiang took the things over, feeling a little sad, and said reluctantly, "I'm so happy. Auntie will keep these for you first. If your mother can come back, I'll leave them to her. If your mother can't come back, I'll take care of you and can't let you hungry!"

Aunt Jiang did not leave immediately, but sat on the edge of the kang, and she had something to discuss with Yao Yuan.

She said, "Silly, I know you understand it in your heart. Since your father is gone, your mother has been thinking about him in her heart, and she has been in a bad spirit. Those students who are making trouble always bully her and take her to criticize her.

Half a month ago, someone did see your mother jumping into the river. However, the search team sent by the factory searched for more than ten miles along the river, but they didn't find her.

In theory, her hope for life is no longer great. We can’t take care of her now, we have to take care of you, a living person first! In the future, food, clothing and expenses will be all about money!

I thought, tomorrow we will buy food and come back, and I will take you to find the military representative who lives in the factory and ask him to tell me if I can let you take your mother's job first and sweep the streets in the dormitory area.

Don’t look at sweeping the streets, you are also considered a mining machine worker. You just need the money from an apprentice, and you still have 18 yuan a month! In this way, you should at least dress and buy food alone. After three years, you will be a first-class worker and you can get 27.5 yuan. If you meet someone with the right conditions in the future, you can still call yourself a wife!"

Uncle Yao once said that he just took the fuck and swept the streets all his life.

Now, let’s keep your hunger from being hungry first, and you don’t care about anything else. Just sweep the streets.

But, isn’t Aunt Jiang going to the town tomorrow and submit Jiang Kangkang’s refilled application form?

Aunt Jiang no longer intends to hand over the volunteer form of Jiang Kangkang to the town.

Because Principal Wang from the junior high school secretly told her that going to the countryside is the above policy, whether you submit a volunteer form or not, you will get to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants.

Yao Yuan asked her: "Then, it doesn't matter if you don't go to the town and ask for a reply?"

Aunt Jiang said: "That's different. If there are places to go to the Construction Corps in the town, you still have to choose from the ones who have filled out their applications. I like girls the most there. If I don't take them back, I will most likely be taken to the Construction Corps in the future!"

He sighed and said, "These stupid children have never suffered such hardships, which makes the enthusiasm in their heads shatter. When they really go, they regret it. If they want to come back, it will be harder than climbing to the sky!"

Yao Yuan asked: "Danger or resist, or go to the countryside?"

Aunt Jiang sighed and said, "The country calls on everyone else's children to go. Don't we have more heads than anyone else. Can't we go? Could it be that I really gave the resistance to that Zhang Jianjun?"

Speaking of Zhang Jianjun, Yao Yuan pointed to the next door to the east and said, "He lives there." When he came back, he saw Zhang Jianjun coming out of the door.

Aunt Jiang said strangely: "Why are you stupid again? Isn't he Zhang Shuncai's eldest son? Isn't Zhang Shuncai living in the east? We have been our neighbor for many years, and have you forgotten this?"

Uncle Yao never told Yao Yuan about Zhang Shuncai's family. It seems that they are not good to him.

Uncle Yao will not remember or mention people who are not good to him.

Aunt Jiang continued to mutter, "This Zhang Shuncai, it turned out that she was a worker in the small-piece workshop. She was a worker who came up with a fight through martial arts. She was so angry that she didn't even graduate from elementary school, and she didn't know how many words were. She was still the deputy director. I don't know what happened to her? It's really blind to let such a person be a cadre!"

The next morning, Aunt Jiang took Yao Yuan to the village committee to borrow a single-wheeled cart with iron pipe welded, took the rope, and went to the grain station on the south road to buy grain.

Everyone's quantitative measurements are divided according to the proportion of coarse grains and fine grains. Fine grains are white flour, accounting for the least proportion. Coarse grains include barbecue bean noodles and dried sweet potatoes, so you can choose them by selectively.

Aunt Jiang asked for stick noodles and some dried sweet potatoes.

In addition, fine grains can be exchanged for coarse grains, one pound of exchange for three pounds. Yao Daxia and his mother combined, you can buy a total of five pounds of fine grains in a month.

Although five kilograms of fine grains are replaced with coarse grains, you can buy ten more kilograms of grains, Aunt Jiang still couldn't bear to change them and was preparing to go back and process the five kilograms of white flour into noodles.

She has two daughters, and the girl is very picky in food. She planned to wait until they really had enough coarse grains. In the morning, she carried Yao Yuan on her back and secretly put some noodles for her two daughters. This is her selfish intention.

In fact, every time she buys her own food, she leaves fine grains to improve food for her two daughters. But since Yao Daxia's mother disappeared, Yao Daxia followed her to eat. When she bought the food, she didn't dare to keep fine grains. Yao Daxia is a powerful person to eat.

After buying the food, Yao Yuan pushed the cart behind him, and Aunt Jiang took the rope and planned to help him pull it.

When Yao Yuan came here in the first year, he had learned to push such a wheelbarrow in the assembly workshop. At this moment, he had the strength of Yao Daxia, and pushed the grain home without Aunt Jiang's help without help.

Looking at Yao Yuan's two pockets in one hand, he once brought the grain to the kitchen used to cook and store grain. Aunt Jiang shook her head and sighed: "Oh, you are so stupid, you must have a big head, look good, and have such great strength. If you are not stupid, you are such a rare good guy!"

Yao Yuan was so angry that I was not stupid at first! Can you foolishly cheat your daughter’s volunteer form from the town?
