But Luo Xuan had only moved two sets of bedding before, and these beddings were for single people.
So everyone took a rest in the house, and Luo Xuan took Bu Yaoming, Du Juan, and Bu Xiaoyu to find Chen Xiaoduan's mother, planning to bring back some more quilts.
At this time, Chen Xiaoduan had already got off work and was reading at home.
Wait until Luo Xuan knocks on the door, and then explain to Chen's mother why he is here.
Mother Chen stretched out her head and glanced at Bu Yaoming and the others standing outside from the door. She also saw that Bu Yaoming and the others were farmers from the mountains.
So Chen's mother closed the door and asked Luo Xuan in a low voice, "Are these people reliable?"
Luo Xuan nodded, "Absolutely reliable."
"That's good."
Mother Chen also wanted Luo Xuan to move these beddings away as soon as possible, otherwise, the wall would be filled to the brim.
Now I can’t even close the door!
When she saw that Luo Xuan was sure, she took Luo Xuan to the back room, "Luo Xuan, you must be careful when dealing with it... Whether you are interacting with people or these beddings, you must be more careful. Don't be fooled."
It’s better if others grasp the handle.”
"Mom, Luo Xuan is doing things well, so don't treat him like an ignorant kid who keeps talking endlessly."
Chen Xiaoduan helped pick up a few quilts, handed them to Luo Xuan and said, "Are you going to take these things and put them away, or are you going to sell them later?"
Luo Xuan said, "This kind of military quilt is more eye-catching when taken out. I plan to hide it and use it slowly. It is too risky to take it out and cash it out."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoduan turned around and winked at her mother, "How about it, Mom, am I right? Luo Xuan is not the kind of person who wants money rather than life. He has a narrow vision and only focuses on petty profits.
people."
Mother Chen smiled slightly and said, "Mom, aren't you worried? Now it seems that I am worrying too much. Go ahead and help keep an eye on me so that the neighbors don't see you."
Mother Chen's worries actually make sense from her perspective.
But what she didn't know was that in reality, second-hand and third-hand military quilts were occasionally sold in the frog market, and everyone had long been accustomed to them.
In the early years, Guojun recruited many bandits in Bashu Province and wanted to win them over to "rework".
Therefore, in addition to issuing "letters of appointment", funds, guns and ammunition to them, Guo Jun also distributed a lot of supplies to these bandits.
Among them, this kind of military quilt is one of the many military supplies.
After liberation, all the bandits entrenched on the hills and mountains were wiped out.
Among the many trophies seized from bandit dens and strongholds, a large number of quilts were included.
Of course our army has no use for these waste products, but the people in Bashu are poor. These beddings can still be used after washing, so how can they be willing to throw them away?
then,
A large number of military beddings were lost to the people.
However, Luo Xuan is not short of money now, so he has no interest in reselling these quilts.
Luo Xuan planned to wait until no one was around, hide these things in the space first, and talk about it later.
Inside the house, Chen Xiaoduan was busy with her mother and Luo Xuan.
Outside, Bu Yaoming was in charge of carrying it, while Du Juan and Bu Xiaoyu took care of it for him.
If there were people on the street, Bu Yaoming, Du Juan and the others would squat on the street edge and pretend to chat.
When no one was around, Du Juan gently knocked on the door again, signaling Luo Xuan to quickly hand out the quilt...
After struggling like this for nearly 2 hours, with all 6 people sweating profusely, they finally moved all 36 sets of bedding into Luo Xuan's house and stamped them out.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted, I feel like a thief."
After moving the bedding, Luo Xuan let out a long sigh and sat down on the high pile of bedding.
If other people could get a set of bedding like this, they would be so excited that they couldn't calm down for three days and three nights.
But when I faced the mountains of quilts and rugs, I felt no emotion at all.
You guys are still too poor!
It is not an easy task for members of the production team to save some cotton to make bedding.
Each family has only a little more than one point of private land, which they usually use to grow vegetables, corn, and fruits, but they worry that the land area is too small and cannot be moved around.
Is there any extra space for commune members to grow cotton?
The cotton in the production team's fields is an "ordered" product from superiors.
The production team must first complete the quota tasks before they can take out the defective cotton that does not meet the grade and distribute it among the members.
A large household can receive 3 or 4 kilograms of lint with seeds throughout the year.
After peeling off the cotton husks and removing the cotton seeds, the cotton that fell on your hands was not enough to make a winter jacket for the children at home!
so,
In rural areas during this period, it was common for children to have chilblains on their hands, feet, and ears when winter came.
There are a lot of children with snot running down their noses from the cold, and they are more than a foot long. You can find a lot of them in any production team.
"Luo Xuan, what does that family do? Why do they have so many quilts and mattresses?"
Bu Xiaoyu also sat on the quilt excitedly, jumping up and down, enjoying the soft feeling brought by the thick quilt.
Luo Xuan said, "Don't ask. The less you know about some things, the better. If you dare to tell these things, I will...I will never pay attention to you in the future."
Bu Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue and said with a sweet smile, "Don't worry! My dad told me countless times before I came here, saying that you are a very capable person.
When you let me see you, you must be obedient and don't show your temper."
Bu Yaoming also added, "Don't worry, Luo Xuan, we will definitely keep it secret. This girl of mine usually only associates with Du Juan, and she is very tight-lipped."
Du Juan asked, "Luo Xuan, are you willing to share this house with you? If you feel embarrassed, just say so and pretend we didn't mention it. What's the point of being embarrassed?"
?”
Du Juan, Bu Yaoming and others want to share this apartment with Luo Xuan.
They only need to pay 1 yuan and 60 cents a month to find themselves a place to stay on the streets of Hongxing Township.
Calculating it this way,
Not only can they not spend much money, but they will also have a share of the house in the future, and they will feel more at ease living in it, instead of having to go to relatives' houses and endure all kinds of unspeakable embarrassments.
After hearing Du Juan’s suggestion,
Luo Xuan thought to himself: Du Juan, her daughter and Bu Yaoming are both very worthy of his trust.
As the old saying goes, "One good man has three gangs."
In the coming years, it is destined not to be so peaceful. You really need to cultivate a few more people worthy of trust around you, so that you will not be blinded when you deal with various crises in the future.
When you encounter something and want someone to help you, you have to have someone to help you!
Moreover, Bu Yaoming and the others only came to Hongxing Township only a few times a month, and even once every few months.
So Luo Xuan nodded and said, "Uncle Bu, when you come to Hongxing Township, just come and live there, don't mention anything about sharing a house.
Tomorrow, I will get you a door key. When any of you comes to Hongxing Township in the future, just come over with the key.
But I only allow Uncle Du Zhong and Uncle Bu to enter this house.
Others, even if they are just here to stay for one night, are not allowed!"
Luo Xuan raised his head, stared into Bu Yaoming's eyes and said, "In the Xiaolaojun production team, I only recognize your family and Uncle Duzhong. I can't trust the other people."
Bu Yaoming nodded, "Okay! If I meet other villagers and ask, I will just tell them that I am staying at someone else's house. Don't worry, we will never bring anyone over."
Du Juan also echoed, "This is where we will stay in the future. I won't let those messy people come and make this place a mess!"
"Uncle Bu, please remember the address of that family. If you can't find me if you have something to do in the future, you can ask her family to send me a message."
Luo Xuan said to Bu Yaoming, "Their family's situation is a bit special, and the people are trustworthy. But Uncle Bu and Sister Du Juan, you'd better not deal with them. This will not do you any good."
Du Juan and Bu Yaoming nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, since you said so, we can just do it."
The reason why Luo Xuan wanted to remind Bu Yaoming and the others to try not to interact with Chen Xiaoduan's family.
That's because the last time Chen Xiaoduan was investigated, it sounded a warning to Luo Xuan: in the next ten years, anything unexpected or unexpected may happen!
This is a major trend, and it is not something that can be changed by individual will.
Last time,
The reason why Chen Xiaoduan was able to successfully pass the test was because her superiors were now treating her father as an "attempt to surrender" or "fleeing with the bandits"?
The above matter is still under investigation and has not yet reached an accurate conclusion.
Since it was impossible to say that Chen Xiaoduan was at fault, and since there was an urgent shortage of highly educated talents in the township, Chen Xiaoduan was able to successfully take up a position in Hongxing Township Senior Junior Primary School.
But Chen Xiaoduan could barely pass the test last time, but what about next time?
Who can guarantee that she will still be so lucky?
Therefore, Luo Xuan could not guarantee that Chen Xiaoduan's house would not suffer from rain leaks.
By the time it gets dark, the night has deepened.
Luo Xuan and Bu Yaoming were chatting, and then the topic turned to the "big canteen".
"This matter won't last long."
Bu Yaoming said, "We mountain people have a lot of private land in the east and west. In addition, there are many people who go to the mountains to open up some wasteland, so everyone has enough food to eat."
"But if we were to open our stomachs for surgery, even if we are a family with abundant food in the mountains, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to handle this method.
That’s not to mention your fellow commune members outside who are already short of food.”
"Oh, I really don't know how everyone will live after eating up all the stored grain!"
Bu Yaoming asked Luo Xuan, "What consequences do you think this will bring?"
After listening to Bu Yaoming's words, Luo Xuan knew that he was also a clear-headed person, and he didn't think about making rice and white noodles every day when his brain got hot.
then,
Luo Xuan said to Bu Yaoming, "Uncle Bu, I have some corn and rice seeds here, and the yield is very high. How about you take some back and plant them in the fields you have reclaimed in the mountains?"
Sweet potato seeds are different from corn seeds and rice seeds. Sweet potato seeds are less resistant to storage.
If Luo Xuan went to cut the sweet potato seedlings now and give them to Bu Yaoming to take back for planting, it would be difficult to explain where he got this thing at this time of year?
It's not yet the season for digging sweet potatoes among all the production teams, so Luo Xuan doesn't dare to mention it yet.
