The donkey cart dragging Yang Laosan had already gone far away, and everyone in the grain drying field was still talking. Xu Zhiqiang shouted from a loudspeaker in the distance, "Qiaomu - come here to check the work points and get the food."

Qiao Mu was wearing a yellow military uniform, with a straight body, and walked through the crowd leisurely.

Then Zhu Zhiqiang was called, and Accountant Zhang asked, "It's still the same as in previous years, no rice, just sweet potatoes and corn, right?"

Zhu Zhicheng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have made some kind of determination, "I-I want rice!"

Accountant Zhang looked at him in surprise and suddenly smiled, "That's right. Even if you don't live for enjoyment, you still have to eat what you deserve. Otherwise, it will be a blessing to be alive."

Zhu Zhicheng smiled helplessly. He didn't want to eat good food. He was now working with Su Qian and the others. He couldn't just make some coarse food.

For the past seven years, he has been alone and kept a distance from everyone, and no one has ever tried to integrate into his life. Susie was the first person to extend an olive branch to him, and he did not want to live up to her kindness.

During this time, when he was with them, he suddenly felt that he was just a twenty-five-year-old young man.

He likes this group very much, and he doesn't want to be alone like before.

Even if he wanted the rice, he would have to send ten yuan less to his family.

Ten yuan, he can find another way to earn it this year.

Susie waited for a long time, and finally her name was called. She received one hundred and ten kilograms of rice and one hundred kilograms of corn. She didn't ask for the sweet potatoes, because she really couldn't eat them.

Qiao Mu walked in front carrying two bags for her, and Susie walked behind with half a bag of corn and ten kilograms of rice in her hands.

She looked at the back of the tree in front of her and wanted to ask Yang Laosan about being injured by the bomb, but she thought about it and held it back.

Forget it, just pretend you don’t know some things.

After returning home, Qiao Mu helped set up wooden boards to store food in the female educated youth's house. The ground was wet, and it wouldn't take long for the food to grow moldy if it was placed directly on the ground.

Yuan Gang also helped Tian Xiaohui carry the food in. Tian Xiaohui shouted as soon as she entered the room, "I'm going to eat white rice today. I have to eat white rice no matter what I say today!"

Zhao Tingting raised her eyebrows, "How to eat it? What we received is rice, not white rice, and we have to pound the rice ourselves."

Tian Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, "Ah? How to pound rice?"

"Let's see if anyone has a hammer or a stone mill. Let's borrow it for a while," Zhao Tingting said.

Tian Xiaohui shouted, "Who should I borrow from? Ahhhhh, why is it so hard for me to eat white rice?"

Su Qian was funny, "Tingting, please stop teasing her, don't we still have the thirty kilograms of rice bought by Qiao Mu? Let's cook a meal of rice today."

"After receiving food, it's time to celebrate."

Tian Xiaohui quickly ran over and hugged Su Qian, "Sister Qian is the best."

She suddenly whispered, "How about eating another smoked rabbit today?"

Susie shook her head deliberately.

Tian Xiaohui's face dropped and she shook Su Qian, "Eat, eat, there are quite a few of them left. It would be a pity to let them go bad. Let Qiao Mu beat them after they are finished."

Su Qian chuckled, it was most interesting to see Tian Xiaohui anxious, "Okay, let's eat."

At noon, they saw Susie and the others eating white rice with a pot of meat on the table. The old educated youths were unhappy again.

They also ate meat today, and they didn't finish the wild boar meat they just shared, but they ate sweet potatoes.

Last year's grain has been used up, the rice has not yet been pounded, and the corn is still on the cob.

Only sweet potatoes can be eaten.

What's even more unhappy is that Yu Xue and Xu Zhiqiang are still busy at the grain drying farm. She has to cook by herself, and she has to deliver the food to him. It's really annoying.

The only consolation is that Xu Zhiqiang has a high work score and can receive dozens of dollars in addition to rations.

Xu Zhiqiang said last night that he would give all the money to her after receiving it.

The next day, Lao Zhang came back after driving a donkey cart to take Yang Laosan to the town.

When I came back, the whole village was shouting, "The Yang family is so stupid, I'm going to be unlucky for eight lifetimes by taking this trip!"

Everyone asked, "What's going on?"

Lao Zhang was holding a bowl of corn rice and said, "I almost starved to death."

Everyone found out after hearing Lao Zhang rant.

It turned out that after taking Yang Laosan to the town yesterday, the doctors at the health center said they couldn't handle such a serious injury and asked him to be taken to the county seat.

Lao Zhang drove the people to the county seat again.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the county seat, and Lao Zhang didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food.

He thought it was too late to go back now and it was difficult to walk on the mountain road after dark, so he planned to spend the night in the county town.

He left in a hurry and didn't bring any money with him. Knowing that the Yang family couldn't take care of him at this time, he walked around the streets, planning to do some work for others and get some money to buy something to eat to satisfy his hunger.

After walking around twice, I couldn't find any work. When I returned to the hospital, Yang Laosan was pushed into the operating room. Yang Laosan, Yang Laoer, and Huang Zhaodi were eating steamed buns.

Lao Zhang walked in and said, "I'm starving to death. Give me some food."

Huang Zhaodi rolled her eyes, "Where can you get food? We don't even have enough."

"The money to buy the buns was obtained by selling the blood of the boss and the second boss!"

Boss Yang wolfed down the buns without even looking at him.

Yang Laoer pointed towards the door, "Go to the right, the blood seller is over there!"

Lao Zhang almost died of anger. He drove dozens of miles to deal with the Yang family, and they didn't even give him a favor!

He was so hungry that he had no choice but to sell blood. Unexpectedly, the nurse tested his blood and said that he was old and there was something wrong with the blood, so he didn't want it anyway.

Lao Zhang was so hungry that he was dizzy and turned to Huang Zhaodi to borrow two cents to buy steamed buns to eat. Huang Zhaodi waved her hands repeatedly, "I don't know how much more it will cost, third brother. How can I lend you money?"

Lao Zhang turned around and left in anger.

He was really hungry, so he went out to knock on doors on the street. A kind-hearted old woman gave him a sweet potato and a bowl of water, to which he thanked her profusely.

Fortunately, it was not cold yet, so he wrapped himself in his clothes and spent the night on the donkey cart. At dawn, he drove back.

Lao Zhang cursed angrily, "I have never been so embarrassed in my life. Thanks to the Yang family, I became a beggar!"

Someone chuckled and said, "The Yang family is too wicked. If we don't tell them, their three sons in this generation will probably be extinct."

Everyone nodded.

The Yang family was originally in a bad situation. Huang Zhaodi was lazy and her husband died in middle age.

The Yang family has become even poorer, and no one is willing to marry a girl into his family.

Mr. Yang was imprisoned for fighting when he was less than twenty years old. After several years in prison, no one wanted to marry him when he came out.

Yang Laoer was having an affair with a widow in the village. All the aunts in the village knew about it and no one told him to marry him.

Yang Laosan is not a good person for being a thief, and no one wants to marry him.

There are three bachelors in the family.
