After selling the eels on hand, Luo Xuan carefully collected the money and candy coupons and turned around and walked out of the woods.
He has been going to school in Hongxing Township. According to the memory of the original owner, Luo Xuan is very familiar with the layout of the township.
Turn around the long stone wall protecting the grain station.
Luo Xuan passed by the gate of the slaughterhouse of the food station. Amidst the shrill screams of the fat pigs, Luo Xuan clearly saw a figure, hunched over, squatting beside the drainage ditch of the food station, silently coming from the ditch.
Get something out.
When pigs are slaughtered at the food station, during the "cutting" process, when the butcher splits the backbone of the fat pig with a machete, some bone fragments and meat will fall out.
Larger residue will be collected by assistants.
But there will always be some small scraps and minced meat, which will eventually be washed into the drainage ditch.
This person was obviously collecting the little bits of debris in the ditch.
Seeing someone approaching, the person lowered his head even more and almost buried it in the drainage ditch!
Luo Xuan pretended to turn a blind eye and walked straight past the man and turned into a small alley.
At this time, others don't need anyone's false pity. It is the greatest respect for him that you don't run over and ask questions.
After exiting the alley, Luoxuan entered the only main street in Hongxing Township.
At this time, the sky was dimly lit.
The rising sun has not yet had the strength to break through the layers of dark clouds, so it can only weakly peek out from the gaps between the clouds, bits and pieces of dark red light.
Just like Luo Xuan's pants, they are so shredded that it makes people irritated just by looking at them.
too early!
On the empty streets, except for the vegetable farmers of the "vegetable production team" who were eager to deliver vegetables to the catering groups of various government units, there were no pedestrians on the streets.
These vegetable farmers carried their vegetable baskets and walked on the streets wet with morning dew. They were all very careful.
This kind of cobblestone street has become extremely smooth after being trampled by countless bare feet, straw sandals, tattered cloth shoes, and precious and rare leather shoes for many years.
If you are not careful and fall, the consequences will often be serious.
The bruises on the nose and face were the least severe, and the fractures caused by the fall were also very common. Even falling to death did not happen before.
I heard that the township government is preparing to organize manpower and material resources to replace all the cobblestones on this street with bluestone slabs.
It's just that we have to wait until winter, when rural people enter their leisure time, to recruit enough "volunteer workers" to come and implement this project.
Volunteer workers, as the name suggests, do not receive any compensation for their work, and they have to bring their own meals from home.
This kind of labor allocation is mandatory and there is no room for negotiation.
Luo Xuan's father, Luo Tiezhu, is said to be among those recruited.
When he was about to reach the non-staple food store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Luo Xuan smelled the tempting aroma of food.
After a busy night, Luo Xuan was already hungry, and when he was aroused by the smell of food, Luo Xuan's stomach couldn't help but "gurgling"!
Dabai steamed buns!
What a glutton!
One liang per steamed bun, with saccharin added inside, it tastes slightly sweet, which is most tempting.
Steamed buns are "fine grains" and require 1 tael of food stamps plus 3 cents to buy them. Luo Xuan is not qualified to buy them to satisfy his hunger.
At this time, the store of "Catering Service Co., Ltd." has already begun to get busy. Half of the wooden door panels have been removed, and the business can start after the first drawer of steamed buns is steamed.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Luo Xuan obediently bypassed the door of the fragrant catering service club and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative's non-staple food store to queue up, waiting for the door to open.
Luo Xuan thought that he came early enough, but he didn't expect that there were actually many people who came earlier than him.
I saw a dozen people wearing cloaks and raincoats standing in front of the non-staple food store, chatting while waiting for the door to open.
It’s cold and humid in the morning in Basin, so a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat can keep out some of the moisture.
Luo Xuan listened carefully to their chat and realized that these people were farmers who came out to go to the market in the mountains.
They live far away from Hongxing Township, the farthest place is more than 40 miles away.
It was not easy for them to go out. They had to carry torches the night before and head out of the mountains.
When they get close to the countryside, they will put down their backpacks, burdens, and torches at a house.
(In fact, when the mountain people came out, they brought a lot of food, pheasants, hares, etc., and that family secretly resold these things to make a little profit.)
Then these mountain people carried money, food stamps, cloth stamps and other things in their pockets and continued on their way to the countryside.
These mountain people have more money than rural people outside.
There is no other reason, just because they have a lot of land, mountains and forests, and they have a lot of food on hand.
Their land and houses are all built according to the mountains. There are 3.5 households here and 2.3 households there, all very far apart from each other.
Although it has reached the "advanced cooperative" stage at this time, in fact, rural areas in mountainous areas cannot "cooperate" at all!
What if everyone's cattle were raised and used together?
In the morning, the captain of the production team led the cows to work in the fields. When they got to the fields, it was probably already lunch time...
Therefore, the production teams in the mountains are still cooperatives on the surface, but secretly they are farming independently.
As long as the tasks of retaining, dispatching, and requisitioning food from the county, township, brigade, and production team are completed, the remaining grain will be at their own disposal.
If there are too many quotas at all levels, the mountain people will go to the deep forests and secretly open up some wasteland for cultivation.
In short.
Farmers in the mountains, as long as they work hard enough, will not have to worry about having enough to eat.
"Little brother, where are your adults?"
Among the mountain residents, a man of short stature but unusually tall and strong saw Luo Xuan waiting in line alone. Out of boredom, he casually asked Luo Xuan this question.
"The adults in the family have to go to work, and they can't attend to the work."
Luo Xuan asked the man casually: "Uncle, if I want to transfer my household registration to your production team, is it easy to handle it?"
The man obviously didn't expect Luo Xuan to ask such a question, and was stunned when he heard this!
"Will your adults be willing?"
A thinner man next to him spoke up, "It's not easy for a family to change their household registration."
"What if it's just me?"
It's still early for the supply and marketing cooperative to open for business.
Luo Xuan was fine anyway, so he asked the thinner man half-truthfully: "Is it easy for me to change my household registration by myself?"
"Not easy."
The man shook his head: "If you want to move into our production team, you need the approval of the joint guarantee of eight households. This is easy to handle. As long as you don't occupy mature land, open up wasteland and plant a few acres of raw land in the mountains and forests of the production team, and you will be handed in at the end of the year."
It’s enough to carry out various tasks such as retaining, dispatching, and requisitioning.”
"But the problem is that now the township is strict about household registration cards, so it is difficult to move."
The man then smiled: "However, there is a very simple way, I'm afraid you are not willing to do it, little brother."
Luo Xuan quickly asked: "What method?"
"Become a door-to-door son-in-law!"
The man laughed loudly: "Let's discuss it with your mother-in-law's family first. When you grow up in a few years, you can get married and transfer your household registration."
After hearing this, Luo Xuan suddenly had a dark look on his face!
