It happened to completely coincide with the three years when I was in middle school.
In this difficult period, if you don't want to ruin your mood, you can hide in the mountains.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Or go into the city.
After all, the difficulties are in rural areas. The lives of residents in cities will also be affected to a certain extent.
But not big.
For people who eat food for urban residents and state workers, their food budget is nothing more than 1 catty of food every month, which they can never buy.
The grain station didn't say anything about this 1 pound of grain. Was it detained?
Or something?
No one can understand this, but no one dares to ask...
In fact, according to everyone's private guess: it should be because of food shortages.
That's why the government asks residents to buy 1 kilogram less of grain every month.
Maybe wait until later, when the food situation improves.
The 1 pound of grain that is kept in the grain book every month will definitely be reissued to everyone.
This is considered a public property and is temporarily borrowed from everyone!
Therefore, during this difficult period, the residents in the city were not particularly affected.
If I only travel between the city and the mountains, and go out for a walk as little as possible, I probably won't encounter anything that I can't stand...
Originally, Luo Xuan planned to hide in the mountains for three years.
But then I thought: Anyway, when I was in middle school, I needed to go to the county school and show up occasionally.
Then just take this opportunity to go to the county and get a driver's license.
In fact, it was very difficult to get a driver's license in the 1950s and 1960s. Many people were beaten and beaten every day by their masters, and it took at least two or three years.
Only then can you get a driving license.
Luo Xuan now plans to try his luck and see if he can get his driver's license in the shortest possible time.
I spent a week playing with Lu Miao in the mountains.
In the end, Lu Miao, who could not leave her studies behind, had to return to the city to go to school.
So on this day,
Luo Xuan sent her to Hongxing Commune, planning to escort Lu Miao to the county seat, and then put Lu Miao on the long-distance bus back to Jiangnei City.
Unfortunately,
When the two of them arrived at Hongxing Commune, the simple bus station.
Only then did I know that the current shuttle bus has actually been changed to once every three days.
It is said that
This move is to "orderly space" the flow of people to prevent too many people from flooding into the already overwhelmed Rongwei County.
As a result, the production and living order in the county have been severely impacted...
Since I can't take the shuttle bus today.
Luo Xuan had no choice but to take Lu Miao back to the house he rented, preparing to have a good night's rest before taking the bus tomorrow.
On the streets of Hongxing Township,
In that rented house, Takuhai Rei and Takushi Zhan's grandson still live.
As soon as she entered the door, Takumi Rei, who was jumping up and down to greet Luo Xuan, suddenly saw Lu Miao following behind her.
Suddenly he was startled: What a young girl with outstanding temperament!
"You, you're here too?"
Tuo Haili's hand that was originally intended to hug Luo Xuan suddenly reached out for Luo Xuan and took off the shoulder bag: "Have you eaten? How about I go and cook you some food?"
Luo Xuan shook his head: "No need, when we passed by the catering service just now, we had already gone in to have dinner."
"This is Lu Miao, from Jiangnei City."
Luo Huan turned around and gave a brief introduction to both parties: "This is Tuo Haili. Her family combines Mongolian medicine and Chinese medicine passed down from her ancestors, which is very remarkable."
The two girls, both girls who grew up in the city, looked at each other and smiled.
They each nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting without any sincerity.
There are a total of four rooms in this house that serve as bedrooms.
One of them is where Tuo Haili lives temporarily, the other is where Tuo Shizhan lives; and the other bedroom is where Bu Yaoming, Du Zhong and others stay temporarily when they occasionally come to Hongxing Street.
Lu Miao is a very particular person, and she can accept the bed where Du Juan and Bu Xiaoyu slept.
But the bed where Eucommia ulmoides and Bu Yaoming slept on, not to mention Lu Miao was a big girl, even Luo Xuan himself didn't want to lie on it...
Like Bu Yaoming and Eucommia ulmoides, they are kind people: honest, hard-working and simple.
But as for personal living habits...Hey! That's hard to explain in a word.
The two of them farted under the covers, which was considered childish...
so,
Luo Xuan had no choice but to take Lu Miao into his bedroom.
Since renting this bedroom, no one except Luo Xuan himself has lived there.
Qiu Xiaogang and Tuo Haili needed to get food, and with Luo Xuan's permission, they would go in once in a while.
Others have no chance to see what is inside the bedroom.
In this room, I usually keep thousands of kilograms of food.
Fortunately these days, Takumi and her grandfather go out at night to feed the hungry people who are really having a hard time.
This one is 3 pounds, and that one is 5 pounds. A lot of them have been given away.
Large quantities of grain are basically stored in the newly built storage room of Zhengxing Brigade.
If you encounter a production brigade where the members are seriously short of food.
He would also run to the air-raid shelter, put an extra batch of grain, and then ask Tuo Shizhan to help him sell it.
It doesn't matter if you can sell large quantities of grain, or you can sell or give away small portions of grain...
After all, I am a big boss with 100,000 kilograms of grain, and I don't care about those three melons and two dates.
When Takumi and the others went out to do errands, they would almost faint if they met such hungry people.
It doesn't hurt to give them 3 or 5 kilograms of food for emergency relief.
Takumi used to love other people's things. If she got a "big deal" one time, she would be happy for a long time.
But now that they have followed Luo Xuan, Takumi Rei and the others no longer have the pressure to survive.
But now, when Takumi goes out to do errands.
When I meet people who have wandered from other places and are living extremely difficult lives.
Tuo Haili will also take a little bit of food to help them.
This kind of thing,
After Takumi did it a few times, she suddenly felt: It turns out that the happiness you get will be greater if you give more than you take...
So much so that Takumi Rei now runs out every night and becomes the heroine who helps people out of trouble several times.
The grains that were stored before were sold and given away by Tuo Haili.
Therefore, there is very little food stored in this room now. There are only two sacks left, a total of about 300 kilograms of food.
Tuohai Li's two grandsons, Chen Xiaoduan, Ji Xuyuan and himself, all have a share of urban residents' rations.
and,
Our food relations have long been transferred to the Red Star Commune Food Station.
So much so that it became very easy for Luo Xuan to explain clearly the source of these 300 kilograms of grain.
If only in the past, there was still a lot of food in my room.
Luo Xuan did not dare to take Lu Miao into the room for fear of arousing her suspicion.
Although Lu Miao has little social experience, she is not stupid...
Set up Lu Miao.
Luo Xuan and Tuo Shizhan greeted them.
Then he turned around and went to the commune compound, preparing to ask director Liao Xianming to ask him to give him a certificate of "Red Star Commune entrusted the training of car drivers".
Without this certificate, the county automobile transportation service agency will not recruit private students.
Enter Liao Xianming's office.
"Is Luo Xuan coming?"
Director Liao Xianming put down the documents in his hands, pointed to the chair next to him with a smile, and said, "Sit down. I happen to have something to do, and I'm going to see you."
Luo Xuan smiled and said: "Please give instructions from the leader."
Liao Xianming smiled slightly: "That's right, we received a document from our superiors a while ago, instructing our commune to immediately set up a 'food inspection team'."
"Now, the Red Star Commune Grain Inspection Team has been formally established. At present, they have gone out to perform three inspection missions."
"Of course, the grain inspection team will not embarrass Yi Yang.
He used a tractor to pull the aged grain and lent it to other production teams. This was a collective matter.
It belongs to the category of collective versus collective, public versus public, and is not within the scope of grain inspection."
Liao Xianming whispered: "The Zhengxing Brigade has adopted new feed premixing and saccharification technologies, so it can save a lot of grain.
When other fraternal brigades encountered difficulties with insufficient food rations for their members, the Zhengxing Brigade 'lent' some grain to these fraternal production teams in difficulty.
There is no problem with this.
Leaders at all levels in our commune support this."
"but!"
Liao Xianming changed the subject: "I want to remind you, if there is anyone around you who is reselling food in private.
You'd better ask him to restrain himself in the future. At the beginning of the establishment of the grain inspection brigade, if there are no results, it will be hard to explain."
Grain inspection brigade?
It seems that the county has also received pressure from above and has begun to strictly control the private circulation of grain.
But it is obvious that Liao Xianming does not agree with this move.
Those grain dealers privately sold grain at high prices to commune members who had spare money on hand.
Not to mention the price.
It doesn’t matter how much profit the grain dealers made from it.
But in the final analysis, people are real and spread food on the territory of Red Star Commune.
No matter what, it was an extra batch of rations for the members of the Red Star Commune.
therefore,
Although the grain inspection brigade has now been established, Luo Xuan has clearly felt that Director Liao Xianming has no real intention to arrest those grain dealers.
But since the county has already issued documents, and the grain inspection brigade can be regarded as a functional department after all.
Regardless of whether they are small fish or shrimps, you have to catch 3 or 2 and hand them over to make up the number, right?
Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it.
That's why Liao Xianming said these words just now.
Luo Xuan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, the leader. It's just an outstanding member like me.
The people I interact with are all activists fighting on the front lines in all walks of life. How can there be any bad elements who would resell food or violate laws and disciplines?"
Luo Xuan was helping the Zhengxing brigade to dump grain and feed outside.
Liao Xianming actually knew about this matter.
only,
The amount of money sold by the Luoxuan family was ultimately handed over to the brigade's finances, and they did not line their own pockets.
If Luo Xuan got any benefit from it, it might be that he was selling food for the government.
Just mixed in some personal goods by the way.
Just mix it!
Food is so tight now. No matter who it is, he is the only one who can get food back from outside.
Every brigade captain and commune secretary would like to call him uncle in private!
Every extra kilogram of grain on the market is always a good thing. Everyone is eager to have more grain on the market, the better.
Liao Xianming was worried about Luo Xuan, and he was also secretly dumping food. That's why he reminded Luo Xuan like this.
Now I hear Luo Xuan say this.
Liao Xianming laughed loudly: "That's good, that's good! Oh, by the way, Luo Xuan, what do you want to do when you come here today?"
You definitely didn’t come here just to hand me a cigarette, right?”
Luo Xuan will tell you his intention.
Liao Xianming pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your household registration is not in our commune. Logically speaking, we should ask the county transportation service company to train car drivers.
You do not meet this condition.
However, there is no express provision stipulating that for a certain commune, car drivers must be residents or members of the commune."
"And along with our country, various production undertakings have made great achievements."
Liao Xianming said: "I heard that the county is preparing to allocate two 'Liberation Brand' trucks to our Red Star Commune.
Otherwise, our commune has three car driver training quotas. Then this time, I will count you among them!
But you have to promise me that after you return from school, you can come to our commune and drive a car for a few years."
Said,
Liao Xianming opened the drawer, took out a letterhead printed with "Red Star Commune Office Signature", and then started writing on it.
After you learn to drive a car, you can return to Hongxing Commune and become a car driver?
Who are you coaxing?
Liao Xianming's words were actually trying to find a way out for himself.
Naturally, Luo Xuan would not pierce it.
You know, the car drivers of this period were truly cowhide!
When a driver goes out to do errands, his activity energy is definitely much greater than that of the captain of a production team!
If Liao Xianming throws away the car driver's quota and promises to sell his house and snow, everyone who comes after him to grab this quota will be able to squeeze out his head...
Since a lot of people are willing to compete to be this glorious driver.
How could it be possible for others to have to come back and serve on their own?
After the matter was done, Luo Xuan took the certificate and turned to leave.
behind,
Liao Xiangxianming came and said something meaningful: "Luo Xuan, comrades in the grain inspection team, I'm afraid some of them are not very savvy..."
Luo Xuan paused slightly.
Then he nodded: "Don't worry, leader, I am best at enlightening those backward comrades who are missing a chord in their minds."
Hearing what Luo Xuan said, Liao Xianming smiled even more happily, "Hahaha, good, good! Go. Go give that kind of comrade some enlightenment..."
