Chapter one hundred and sixty-two, borrowing grain
Leaving from grandma's house.
He felt much more relaxed.
I rode my bike and soon arrived at Zhoujia Village.
When I arrived at my sister-in-law's house, there was only a teenage girl with a boy of five or six years old at home.
My sister-in-law and uncle are both laborers in the village and can only be in the fields at this time.
The little girl looked at Zhou Xiaochuan riding a bicycle and shouted in surprise: "Xiaochuan?"
When Zhou Xiaochuan and his family left, they were already in their teens. They are now thirteen years old. They are one year older than Zhou Xiaochuan.
Zhou Xiaochuan laughed when he heard this: "Xiuxiu, where is my sister-in-law."
Zheng Xiuxiu laughed when she heard this: "Mom and dad have gone to the field."
Zhou Xiaochuan nodded after hearing this and said, "You go and call my sister-in-law, I have something to do with her."
Zheng Xiuxiu heard this and said, "Wait, I'll go and call her mother."
After saying that, he pulled his brother to run towards the field.
Seeing that there was no one at home, he glanced at the neighborhood and saw that no one came from nearby.
Only then did he touch his sister-in-law's kitchen.
Seeing that there was a pile of firewood on the stovetop, I put two bags of corn flour under the firewood.
I felt that no one would come to this place for a short time, so I returned to the yard and waited for the other party.
Not long after, Zhou Minghe came back, and Zhou Mingren was also with him. He was followed by Zheng Xiuxiu and his brother.
Zhou Mingren is wearing a labor cloth, black and thin.
In his memory, Zhou Minghe had a good relationship with Yang Yuemei, while his predecessor's father had the best relationship with this uncle.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the arrivals and smiled and shouted, "Uncle, sister-in-law."
Zhou Mingren came near and said with a smile: "Your aunt and your uncle are working in the field. I didn't let them come back."
Then he patted his shoulder and smiled:
"Good boy, I've grown a lot taller. I heard your sister-in-law say that you've lived a pretty good life there, but I don't believe it. Now I see it."
Zhou Minghe also asked strangely from the side: "Xiaochuan, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?"
Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law, we went to the provincial capital two days ago and went to settle the house. We probably will leave before the end of the year. My mother asked me to come over and talk."
The two of them looked surprised when they heard Zhou Xiaochuan's words. Then they asked what was going on.
He explained.
The two of them were silent for a moment because all this was done by their own brothers and sisters.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan understood what the other party meant, and changed the subject and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law, I'm here to tell you specifically. I may not come back when I leave."
The two nodded when they heard this. Zhou Mingren looked at the bicycle next to Zhou Xiaochuan and smiled: "The little guy is amazing now. He can ride a bicycle. My uncle, I can't ride it even if I am so old."
Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard this.
Then Zhou Mingren laughed: "Don't go back at noon. Have dinner here before leaving. Play with Xiuxiu for a while. I'll talk to the captain and come back to cook."
Zhou Xiaochuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle, no need, I have to go to my grandmother's house later."
He can only explain this reason.
Zhou Mingren said dissatisfiedly: "I have been back in a few years. Is it not at home to have a meal before leaving?"
"Uncle, I really don't need it. I have agreed with my grandmother."
The two of them did it now after hearing this.
Zhou Xiaochuan saw that there was no one outside, so he whispered to Zhou Minghe's ear.
Zhou Minghe was still strange at first. When she heard his words, she was immediately frightened to run to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan grabbed her and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law, wait for the night. Now it's not good if anyone sees it."
Seeing this, Zhou Minghe stomped her feet in a hurry.
Zhou Mingren looked at the two of them and asked strangely: "What are you two doing? They are so mysterious?"
Zhou Minghe stopped talking for a while, and finally said something: "Let's talk about it later."
Then he said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "You gave it to us, so what do you eat? There is also a fixed amount of food in the city?"
Zhou Xiaochuan laughed: "My sister-in-law, after all, there are more opportunities in the city than in the countryside. Don't worry, it's okay. Sister-in-law, remember to hide it well, and let others find out."
My younger sister Zhou Minghe rolled her eyes and smiled when she heard him, "Don't worry, even if she was discovered, I won't say anything."
Zhou Xiaochuan didn't care so much. He laughed: "I didn't mean that. OK, my sister-in-law, I'll go back first."
Seeing this, Zhou Mingren asked again: "You really don't eat here? You have nothing to do anyway. Just go to your grandmother's house."
Zhou Xiaochuan pushed the cart and said, "Uncle, I really don't need it anymore, I'll go back first."
Zhou Mingren stopped persuading him when he heard this.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan rode his bike away.
Zhou Mingren looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's back as he left, and asked Zhou Minghe with a strange look: "What food did you just talk about?"
Zhou Minghe hesitated for a moment and whispered in his ear.
"Really or not?"
Zhou Mingren suddenly raised her voice octave when she heard her words.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghe glared at him and said angrily: "Can you whisper?"
Zhou Mingren smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Sister, I was scared by you too."
Zhou Minghe sighed lightly when he heard this. Then he said, "Okay, go to work. Let's talk about it when you come back tonight."
Zhou Mingren nodded when he heard this.
The two returned to the field with concern.
When the whistle was blowing at night, he hurriedly walked towards home.
When Zhou Xiaochuan came back from Zhoujia Village, he saw a group of people at the entrance of the village department. They were the people who borrowed food last year. They were all village heads of each village.
Zhou Xiaochuan thought in confusion.
"Are you here to borrow food again?"
However, when he heard the conversation between Jiang Dingzhong and others, he understood.
Because the grain production in Jiangtai Village has not been reduced this year, people think that the grain production in Jiangtai Village is good. So a group of people come to borrow grain seeds.
Even proposed a one-to-two transmutation method.
However, how could Jiang Dingzhong accept such a change? He also knew the situation in the nearby villages. At most, the production was reduced by half.
If the food rations of the villagers were reduced according to this, they would have to be reduced.
But it is unreasonable to exchange good grains in my village for poor food.
The last few people discussed and exchanged 12 pounds for 10 pounds.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan prepared to leave.
The effect of planting seeds in the space will definitely become worse once, but the effect will not be much worse when you choose the seeds from it.
Then he thought that the main grain in rural areas was sweet potatoes and corn. It was a waste to eat wheat when there was no food.
He then wandered around the village headquarters and replaced the corn kernels that the village had prepared to make grain for seeds of about the same size in the space.
This way you can't see it.
