Chapter 163 Food is precious(1/2)
Early the next morning, the sky was dim.
Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang ran to the door of Luo Xuan's house and prepared to push the stroller to the school.
The two siblings need to push the empty trolley to Luo Xuan every morning and put it away at school.
When school is over in the afternoon, there will be an extra sack containing 2,30 kilograms of grain on top of the cart.
Then Qiu Xiaogang and his two siblings pushed the car back to the production team.
By running back and forth every day, the two siblings would have enough food for lunch.
Although the amount of grain Luo Xuan gave them was not much, only about 6 or 7 taels, and it was not all fine grain.
The rice given to them by Luo Xuan was also mixed with 20% corn crumbs.
These 6 or 7 taels of grain are extremely precious to Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang.
More importantly,
The pay Luo Xuan gave them was very stable and the work was not tiring.
With this deal, Qiu Guiying and her brother no longer need to steal people's things.
This kind of food earned through hard work is safe to eat.
But early this morning,
Qiu Guiying took her younger brother to the fence of Luo Xuan's house as usual, and wanted the third sister-in-law or Aunt Zhang to push the cart out for them.
Unexpectedly, the person who walked out of the house was Luo Xuan.
I saw Luo Xuan holding a large backpack in his hand and waving to Qiu Xiaogang, "You don't need to push the cart to school these days. Just help me take this to the catering service and give it to the person in charge named Gu." .”
Qiu Xiaogang took a look at the big basket and saw that the basket was covered with a layer of straw.
Perhaps to prevent the contents from evaporating, a little water was sprinkled on the straw.
Putting straw on the surface of the backpack is not a trick, it is to prevent Qiu Xiaogang from knowing what is in the backpack.
The hole next to the backpack was bigger than Qiu Guiying's eyes and couldn't be covered even if he wanted to.
Moreover, the smell of more than 20 mushrooms is very strong. People who grew up in the countryside only need to smell it to know that the basket is full of mushrooms.
It hasn't rained recently in the Zhengxing production team area.
The two siblings, Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang, couldn't figure out where Luo Xuan got so many mushrooms?
only,
I couldn't figure it out, so the two siblings didn't dare to ask.
"And this, just take it to Teacher Chen's house, don't take it to the school."
With that said, Luo Xuan handed Qiu Guiying another basket.
What was inside was a turtle, weighing about 4 pounds.
"Remember, when you put the things delivered to the catering service agency, you just leave. Don't talk too much or ask questions."
Luo Xuan warned Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang, "I will settle the payment with Teacher Chen myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
"When you get to school, you go to my dormitory to get food."
"I've written a note for you here. When the time comes, show it to Yu Guijun in the dormitory, lest he mistakenly think that you are taking my things privately."
The reason why Luo Xuan started out was that he strictly asked Qiu Guiying and his two siblings to just deliver the goods and not talk too much and ask questions.
This is Luo Xuan setting rules for them!
Just like how you treat newcomers who have just entered the workplace, you should be strict with them at the beginning.
At this time, the red line on the unit must be clearly drawn for them.
Wait until they accept and get used to these rules and regulations.
If you show kindness to them in a timely manner in the future, they will find it easier the more they work, and they will feel that this job is worth doing.
If the control is too loose at the beginning, it will not be easy to tighten it later...
This is a philosophical question of ‘slap first and then give candy’, or ‘give candy first and then slap’.
Hmm, quite profound.
After giving these instructions, Luo Xuan asked Qiu Guiying to go to the dormitory after school in the afternoon and move all the bamboo tubes back.
Let Qiu Xiaogang go to the health center and buy croton for 1 dime.
Recently,
Luo Xuan always found that the food in his bamboo tube decreased a little bit every day.
After much deliberation, Luo Xuan finally concluded: This should be that guy Yu Guijun stealing his own food!
Originally it was just a little bit of food, but for Luo Xuan now, it is no longer as valuable as before.
But if you are willing to share food with others, that is a sign of affection.
If you are unwilling to help others, this is your duty.
Luo Xuan will never get used to Yu Guijun's behavior of taking advantage of himself without telling him!
During this period, life is very difficult for everyone. Every grain of food is very precious in everyone's hearts.
Like before, I borrowed money to live in the breeding room of the production team.
Uncle Zhou, the breeder, wanted to prevent himself from eating the broad bean flour, corn flour, and pea flour that were fed to the pigs.
Every time before he left, he would mark the inside of the jar.
If I was really hungry and couldn't bear it anymore, and stole pig feed to eat, Uncle Zhou would definitely notice it.
Most people in the production team have this habit of marking rice jars and grain bags.
There are even cases where the mother-in-law at home makes a mistake when marking the lard jar or grain jar, and then mistakenly thinks that her daughter-in-law has stolen the grain.
As a result, the whole family was in a state of turmoil, and there were tragedies involving family destruction and death.
Just a few days ago.
In Production Team 7 of Zhengxing Brigade, a human tragedy occurred: a woman went to visit her relatives.
When the mother-in-law of that family saw her in-laws coming, she scooped out a bowl of rice and asked her daughter-in-law to cook a slightly better meal to entertain her in-laws.
The daughter-in-law there was naturally very happy when she saw her mother-in-law being so considerate.
then,
After the family happily had lunch, in the afternoon, my mother-in-law's face became ugly, and her words sounded unpleasant.
It turned out that at noon, the daughter-in-law went to scoop the rice out of the rice vat, and the mother-in-law forgot to mark the rice vat.
After the in-laws left in the afternoon, when my mother-in-law went to see the rice vat again, she saw that there were no ghost symbols she had drawn on the rice.
So the mother-in-law suspected that her daughter-in-law had secretly taken the grain and brought it back to her mother's family.
Next, one of the two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law wanted to prove her innocence, while the other always insisted that her daughter-in-law had stolen the food and used it to take care of her parents' family.
The more the two people quarreled, the angrier they became, and the more they talked, the more annoyed they became!
In the end, the daughter-in-law couldn't bear the grievance and got angry and hung herself from the southeast branch.
Now that things have happened, when the mother-in-law saw that she had caused a big disaster, she felt ashamed to face her son and the man's mother-in-law...
Finally he threw himself into the river.
This shows how difficult life was in rural areas during this period! How precious food is in everyone’s eyes.
Luo Xuan wanted to set up a plan to deal with Yu Guijun twice, and he had to put a little shadow on his mind...
When Qiu Guiying and Qiu Xiaogang walked away, they turned to look for the production team leader Peng Zhikun.
Since I have made up my mind to build a sand quarry, I will make it bigger.
Donate threshing machines, threshing machines can improve your reputation.
And the sand quarry can raise people...raise a group of people who are good to themselves, a group of people who can dare to fight and fight hard.
From the beginning of preparation for the sand quarry, Luo Xuan was ready to complete all the procedures.
In this way, it will raise the entry threshold for latecomers and deter those who want to get a piece of the pie.
Now,
The school is about to have a busy farm break. Anyway, he needs to work in the production team. During this time, Luo Xuan plans to go all out to prepare the sand quarry.
After receiving the leave, I went to rent a house and gave Yu Guijun a long memory.
"A strong laborer, given to the production team in January, pays 8 yuan?"
Peng Zhikun puffed away his cigarette, his eyes full of 10-yuan bills flying, "And, only during slack times do you organize strong laborers to dig sand?"
Luo Xuan proposed to occupy the wasteland by the river.
Then the production team organized a group of strong laborers for Luo Xuan to dig sand during the slack period.
To be continued...
