Chapter 4, Unusual Movement in Yushan

While thinking, Wang Qiuju took out the purse.

Look here and there.

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it was not safe anywhere.

Finally, after thinking about it, I went directly to the corner and stuffed the things into the gap in the earth wall.

Originally, I couldn't see clearly when I stuffed it in, but I picked up a little dust from the side and stuffed it in. Suddenly, several things disappeared from everyone's eyes.

After she was done, she clapped her hands and said proudly: "Okay, I'm going to cook. Today I have two eggs per person. I'm so angry that I can't bear to lose my stomach."

Yang Guangzhi sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

He smoked a cigarette and left the room.

Yang Xiaole looked at his father's expression and was secretly amused.

Two eggs per person?

A family of seven gets fourteen.

Basically, every two or three days for the eggs at home, I have to go to the sales outlet of the brigade to exchange them for something.

There are six or seven eggs in the house, which is all the result of not eating eggs in the past few days.

Fourteen.

No need to think about that.

Yang Xiaole felt that lying in bed all the time was not an option.

He was already very hungry, so he went to the kitchen to see if he could find something to eat. His stomach hurt from hunger.

I climbed up from the kang and put on a pair of straw sandals, real straw sandals.

It hurt his feet a bit, but he was used to it.

After coming out, Yang Guangzhi was talking to his elder brother Yang Xiaogang.

"Xiao Gang, you are 16 years old this year. You have to work hard after the family is divided. Wait two years to save some money and marry you a wife."

When Yang Xiaogang heard this, his dark skin turned red.

There he smiled and nodded: "I know, Dad, my work points are women's work points now. I will be able to get the full work points in two years. By then we will be able to share more food."

Yang Xiaole smiled when he heard this. In fact, his eldest brother was already very good.

There are many types of work points.

10 work points is a full score, and only normal laborers can get 10 work points.

8 centimeters is a woman's work point.

Generally, people like Yang Xiaogang only have 5 or 6 work points, which is called half-work points.

Of course, there are some special pole teams that can earn 12 work points, but that crime is not something ordinary people can bear.

At the end of the day, the skin was worn out.

The number of work points determines how much grain can be distributed when harvesting grain. However, each production team is different. If there are more paddy fields, the work points are more valuable.

A person with 12 work points will have twice as much food at the end of the year as one with 6 work points.

As for grading, naturally the production team leader determines the work points based on your ability to work.

Although my eldest brother's women's work score is the result of my father carrying a bottle of wine, it is also due to his own strength.

But having more strength means eating more.

While thinking, he came to the kitchen.

My fourth brother, Xiao Xi, and my fifth sister, Xiao Li, were picking sweet potato leaves there, and from time to time they looked at their mother, Wang Qiuju, beating eggs there.

My mouth is watering.

Yang Xiaole looked at the pot and shook his head.

It's this thing again.

In the pot is rice, or porridge, that Yang Xiaomei has cooked long ago.

Corn flour is mixed with sorghum noodles, which is very thin and looks watery.

If you eat a big bowl of this stuff, it will be gone as soon as you urinate.

And it irritates my throat.

Have been taking it for half a month.

As for the eggs in Wang Qiuju's bowl, there were no more than four at first glance, and three was the most likely number.

I saw my mother dripping five or six drops of rapeseed oil from the oil bottle into the big pot, and quickly put it away with a distressed look on her face.

Add the sliced ​​green peppers to the pan and stir-fry them, then spread the eggs on top.

Sprinkle some salt.

A bowl of fragrant scrambled eggs with a little bit of scratch on the side came out of the pan.

Wang Qiuju looked at Yang Xiaole who came over and said with a smile: "You must be hungry, just wait for a while and the meal will be ready."

Yang Xiaole looked at the drooling actions of the others, and finally resisted the urge to eat something first to cushion the blow.

Because I’m really embarrassed!

Watching Wang Qiuju put a few more drops of oil into the pot, frying the freshly washed sweet potato vines and the gruel in the pot.

Yang Xiaole really wanted to go to the city to think of a way to get some food back.

When my family cooks, the oil is measured drop by drop, and they eat porridge at noon.

Although he has been used to it for so many years, he still feels overwhelmed.

But there is nothing we can do, the autumn harvest will be in just over a month.

Now is the time of drought, and the oil and food at home should be saved for the autumn harvest to do heavy work.

Now we eat more, but when it comes time to harvest food, there will be less oil and less food, and my parents’ bodies won’t be able to handle it!

He wanted to go to the city, but his body wouldn't allow it.

Even if it is allowed, without a certificate issued by the production team, if you go to the city and are caught by patrols, it is a blind flow.

We have to let the production team pick up the people.

And even if you go to the city, you can't buy oil or food.

Because there are no food stamps and gas stamps.

Urban people have rations, and the amount of food they can eat per month ranges from 28 to 60 kilograms depending on factors such as gender, age, and physical strength.

An average woman weighs 28 kilograms, and a man weighs 32 kilograms. The physical work of a miner is the highest, weighing 60 kilograms a month.

In other words, the ration of food is related to physical labor.

As for cooking oil, although one person in the city only gets 6 taels of oil per month, it is much better than that in the countryside.

If Yang Xiaole's family was in the city, they would have a ration of 4 kilograms and 2 taels, and they could eat as much as they wanted.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

The current two-dimensional structure of urban and rural areas has made rural people desperately want to work in the city as workers.

That way you can be fed and clothed warmly.

Without rations and gas stamps, you can’t even buy anything if you have money.

Unless you go to the pigeon market that Zhang Laohan mentioned and buy things at high prices, it's just that there are risks.

While thinking, Yang Xiaole focused on the gate of the courtyard and frowned.

Something bad is going to happen.

I saw the fourth aunt Sun Xiuhe and the second aunt Tian Cuihua walking towards this side aggressively, and they also brought the old Buddha from the family.

Old lady Zhao Jinhua!

After being in contact with her for so long, the old lady Zhao Jinhua is not someone to be trifled with, she is very difficult to deal with.

To be difficult to deal with is not because the old lady is acting crazy and being unreasonable all day long.

On the contrary, the old lady's skills are quite good. Not only does she know a lot of words, but she also talks to people in the same way.

The eldest girl in the village and her daughter-in-law were manipulated to death by her.

If the Yang family had not fled here from Huizhou during the Great Famine and War in 1942, Zhao Jinhua would have given birth to two children by then.

He even suspected that the other party came from the palace, and the methods of fighting in the palace were all set.
