Chapter 16 Big Harvest

Zhao Guoqing rode his bicycle quickly, and when he arrived at Hongxing Commune, it was just dawn.

He looked around with caution. After confirming that there was indeed no one around, he quietly knocked on Boss Zhao's door.

"Come? No one follows you, right?"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'm careful!"

Zhao Guoqing nodded. He is still speculative in his behavior like this these days.

But, I’m really hungry. Not to mention eating meat, it’s not easy to even make some rice.

Any shortage of supplies you have to buy, you have to ask for tickets!

Take pork today for example. It is not expensive and requires meat tickets. A pound of pork is better than a piece of fat, while the lean meat is almost about nine millets, and the average is nine millets.

But not everyone can afford this pound of meat.

After all, Zhao Guoqing's family drinks corn porridge every day and is reluctant to eat white rice.

The rice is only about one or five pounds. Ten pounds of rice can be eaten by the Zhao family for a month, and they are all used to make porridge a little.

But it is only enough to buy more than one pound of pork.

If you eat more than one pound of pork, you can't eat it with your stomach. A meal is not enough, and you can eat the ten pounds of rice for only one month.

Because money is difficult to make, and there are too few ways to make money.

This time, although there was a basket of bamboo fungus that Zhao Guoqing brought this time, once dried, the bamboo fungus was less than five kilograms left.

Three yuan is 51 pounds, and it was exchanged for nearly seventeen yuan.

Fortunately, he also brought a rabbit and a pheasant. These two things were all replaced with food coupons, including fifty kilograms of grain coupons, five kilograms of pork coupons, a little kerosene coupons and sugar coupons.

There is still about ten yuan left, and with the little money I saved, it is about thirty yuan.

Originally, Zhao Guoqing wanted to exchange some cloth tickets and make some clothes for his family, but now he has less money, so he has to start preparing more food.

After all, I really want to build a house.

People have to hire people to work. In rural areas, relatives, friends and neighbors are all here to help. You can give less or no wages, but you must have white rice and you have to make some meat.

Otherwise, you can’t ask for help, and others can’t build a house for you on hungry days?

So you need to save more food coupons and prepare more.

Moreover, the family members eat so poorly, and after a long time, he can't even withstand malnutrition. He has to find ways to improve his family's life.

So Zhao Guoqing, who got the money and food coupons.

The first thing he did was to buy pork. He came early. Thinking that he had eaten so much rice from two educated youth last time, this time he had some money to get bamboo fungus and sell rabbits, so he simply bought three kilograms of meat!

I bought the kind of good meat with fat and thinness, and I gave the meat tickets three yuan.

Zhao Guoqing also saw pig lungs on the chopping board selling meat. It looked quite big and said he didn't need a ticket for 20 cents. He saw that the pig lungs were two or three pounds, so he bought one.

This thing is considered meaty, so it’s okay to buy it and stew some pumpkin.

After buying these things, Zhao Guoqing bought ten fried dough sticks, one fried dough stick costs eight cents each, which is a rare thing that has oil and water.

These days, soaking fried dough sticks in some sugar water is the best food that can be taken out in a family.

I guess my wife is willing to take a few bites during confinement.

The premise is that this in-laws are generous and willing to give up on their daughter-in-law, otherwise they will not be able to eat the sweet and fried dough sticks.

After Zhao Guoqing returned home, he quietly stuffed some fried dough sticks to his younger brother, sister and mother, because the family lacked oil and water.

The pig's heart and lungs were given to his mother.

When Liu Zhenfang saw such a large piece of pig's heart and lungs, she smiled and was so happy.

"Oh, some potatoes were dug out at home, and I stewed this at noon. Keep it delicious. I will ask you about your milk later and let you have a meal at noon..."

The dried ones in this family still eat corn, and Old Lady Mei has to nod.

"Mom, you should try to separate the family. If you have a very poor meal, the old lady will nod. How frustrating it is..."

Zhao Guoqing frowned.

This family is really divided, and if it is not divided, his mother is the one who suffers the most.

The one who works the most is the one who is most irritated and irritated.

"This, your father is not happy. We have many children and we have never had enough food. I'm afraid you will be hungry."

Liu Zhenfang sighed, actually she also wanted to split up.

But it is easy to separate the family, but Zhao Gui is not happy, and Old Lady Mei and the others are not happy either.

Secondly, there are few people who earn work points in his family, but there are many children, and the food they allocate every year is not enough to eat. She works harder if it is not divided, and at least the children still drink corn.

If it is broken up, the youngest child will starve to death.

In the early years, who had never starved to death?

The family got together, even if they ate corn every day, the children had stutters and did not starve to death.

"Mom, don't worry, life will become more and more promising, and life will get better and better in the future. We will also have to separate our families and live in a big house in the future, hehe..."

Liu Zhenfang didn't believe what Zhao Guoqing said.

This son is like a stubborn cow, and he is not worried at all. He is talking, but if he continues, she will start to complain.

He said he was a good girl, why did Zhao Guoqing refuse to do anything?

As soon as Zhao Guoqing said this, he hurriedly hid and was unwilling to listen again.

Perhaps because of the pig's heart and lungs, Old Mrs. Mei finally agreed to have a dry meal for lunch, but it was not pure white rice, but bean rice.

There are a lot of mung beans and peas in some rice.

There is very little rice, just a bean rice, but it is much better than corn porridge.

Liu Zhenfang was skillful and pulled out all the white tendons in the middle of the pig's heart and lungs, then used water to remove the heart and lungs, added ginger to the pot and stir-fry it, and then added potatoes to cook!

Although the heart and lungs will float up in the end, it is meat and the fragrance will suddenly float out!

Not only Zhao Guoqing's house, but also far away from the next door, I could smell this fragrance!

Many people poked their heads and looked around and found that the fragrance was floating out of Jin Qiaofang's house. Some people asked Jin Qiaofang, who went to the river to wash clothes in the river with envy.

Is the meat stewed at home today? It smells so good?

"What kind of meat is that? My family went to buy a pair of pig heart and lungs early on National Day and cooked some potatoes..."

"Pig heart and lungs, that thing is actually delicious and delicious!"

Even if it is a pig, it cannot be considered a serious pork.

But when he said it, it was still enviable. He just waited until Jin Qiaofang finished washing clothes and went home, and planned to see if the pig was ripe.

As soon as I opened the jar, I was stunned.

The original jar of potatoes was full of pig heart and lungs, but now the pig heart and lungs were missing half and the potatoes were missing a lot.

She glanced at the main room, sighed, and said nothing.
Chapter completed!
