Chapter 143 Call the Captain Here

Father Luo Cheng and younger brother Luo Bing were soon called home. The farming land in their brigade was originally near here.

Three boxes of clam oil, one box for each of grandma, mother and sister-in-law.

Grandma said that as an elderly person, why would she use this? In the city, it is probably used by young people.

Luo Cheng told grandma that this stuff is not just for young people to apply. Older people may not care whether their skin is dry or not, but this stuff is anti-freeze. Some people will easily freeze their hands and feet in winter, and the frozen hands can become bigger. , the ears are also often frozen. Applying this, although it cannot cure it, it can alleviate and prevent it.

After hearing this, grandma accepted it. In fact, my mother also had this idea. There were a few rural people who had this, and it made them laugh when others saw it. But when they heard the effect, they didn't say anything and took it seriously. People like her often have to do laundry and cook. When the weather is cold, their hands are often cold and hot. There is no year when their hands are not frozen. The feeling of frozen hands is not pleasant. If this thing can relieve it, it will be Not bad.

When my sister-in-law got the clam oil, her thoughts were different, and she didn't care so much about its efficacy. But with this, I can show off to the sisters I know when I go back to my parents’ home during the Chinese New Year.

The other thing is a small bag of rubber bands. In this day and age, this is what women use. But in the Luo family, the one who likes this the most is Luo Bing.

When I saw the rubber band, my eyes lit up. When spring comes next year, I will make a slingshot and shoot sparrows. Rats can also be hunted, but rats are too hard to find. The grain station in the town has not had much food in the past two years, and there are also few rats. If there are rats, there are no staff guarding the granary to hunt them. It's no one else's turn to go.

Then there is the peach cake, which is only four pieces, let them share it. In the past, Luo Bing might have been able to get a small piece, but now that he was married, his mother directly gave a piece to Qin Ru and asked them to divide it.

As for the wild rabbit, Luo Bing was very excited to see it. The rabbit's head was bigger than that of a mouse. When it was roasted in the fire, it was crunchy and crispy.

Rabbit fur is not small, so it would be good to make a protective pad when the weather is cold.

However, we can no longer show off the rabbit slaughter on the roadside, we can only do it secretly in the kitchen.

"Chengzi, the commune distributed grain a few days ago."

"Food has been distributed. This is a good thing. Everyone can take a break."

When Luo Cheng heard that the food had arrived, he instinctively thought it was a good thing. His family had been looking forward to this. At that time, Bingzi often went to get grass roots to eat.

"The five people in our family who earn work points share more than 80 kilograms of grain."

Just over eighty kilograms~~, that's it. If there were six people in the family before Luo Cheng came back, the average weight per person would be less than fifteen pounds. But the fifteen kilograms of grain must last until next year’s spring harvest. On average, one person can only have one tael a day, and with some vegetables grown in the ground, it looks like he will never die of hunger. But during this period, people still have to work in the fields, and one or two more is simply not enough. Moreover, the more than 80 kilograms of grain distributed is not processed rice, but contains rice husk, which is rice bran.

So at most, we will have to dig wild vegetables everywhere until the beginning of next spring and eat everything we can.

The key is that Luo Cheng's family has a large labor force, and Xiaoyu Shishi went to work during the busy farming season. They earn work points. It’s just that my grandma didn’t go to work in the fields, so she couldn’t do it, so there was nothing we could do.

What if this is other family members, especially those with children under ten years old? Don't think about life at all. Luo Cheng can't figure out how to survive until next spring. Although the Luo family now has a daughter-in-law, Luo Cheng took the two sisters away, which actually saved him a mouth.

This is not sharing food. Before the food was distributed, there was still hope. This time, the food was distributed, and everyone's hope was gone.

At this time, grandma took the opportunity to wink at her father Luo Wen.

"Ningzi, Dad wants to tell you something. Your uncle is also living in our house."

"Uncle lives in our house? Where are the others? Do we have a place to live in our house?"

"People lived in the woodshed, and now they are all living in the woodshed."

It's impossible not to talk about this matter. Without the uncle, the Luo family can barely survive on its own. This is because Luo Cheng bought food when he first came here. I drink some water every day at home, but I haven’t eaten it yet. The money left by Luo Cheng can be used to buy high-priced grains at the pigeon market. Even if the price is several times higher than buying with tickets, you can still buy a lot.

But now there is an uncle, and his father Luo Wen is still thinking about Luo Cheng's uncle and aunt. To be able to take the uncle in, I didn't expect Luo to succeed from the beginning.

The uncle is grandma's eldest brother. He came to see grandma for the last time and then planned to leave. He didn't expect to drag his sister down. But grandma couldn't be cruel. She knew that her eldest grandson could save her brother and would not bring him down, so she let her uncle stay. If it would bring down the eldest grandson, let alone the uncle, grandma would choose to go on the road.

Luo Cheng asked the soldiers to call his uncle over. When he saw his uncle's appearance, Luo Cheng felt inexplicably sad, not for his uncle alone, but for this era.

He finally understood why there were many beggars of many ages on both sides of the road when he came, and what was the difference between the image of his uncle in front of him and those people. His hair is messy, his face is dirty, he is wearing a torn cotton jacket, and his body now exudes a bad smell.

This is grandma's biological eldest brother. Since he has been taken in, why would he be treated like this?

Luo Cheng asked his family very confusedly, but his parents and grandma told him that it was not that they didn't want to be nice to him. Instead, they can only take him in as a beggar, and he can't see anyone.

What is in front of you now is your uncle. Have you ever thought about the old people with the original surname of the Luo family? What about those uncles and uncles, those who are cousins ​​with Luo Cheng? If you can't bear it for the elderly, there are some children, so you can bear it.

Your salary, Luo Cheng, is high, more than 130 a month, and there are various subsidies. But how many people can you help? Luo Wen also made it clear. Uncle and aunt's side will definitely be able to survive now, but after the new year, that's when his father Luo Wen will speak to Luo Cheng.

Looking at his uncle in front of him, Luo Cheng suddenly remembered the purpose of his return. It seemed like he had come at the right time.

"Dad, I have something to tell you when I come back. This matter may be able to solve the food problem of our brigade."

To solve the problem of food for the brigade~~~, his father Luo Wen was moved and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Luo Cheng told them about raising pigs, chickens and ducks, as long as the team didn't eat the chickens and ducks. The auto repair shop is responsible for raising feed for chickens, ducks and pigs, and only one person is needed in the brigade. The eggs laid by chickens and ducks are now more than 60 cents per kilogram on the market, and an egg costs almost 50 or 6 cents.

When you have the eggs, besides paying back the money to the auto repair shop, you can take the extra money to Pigeon Market to exchange for food. You can take it to the auto repair shop and exchange it for money, or you can help contact other units to see if they can exchange food for eggs. At least with such an input, there should be no problem with the rations in the brigade.

"Soldier, hurry up and call the captain to your home. Tell him that your elder brother is here and come to him if you have anything to do. Ask the captain to come over quickly. He can't delay things here."

"Hey, Dad, I'm going right away."

~~Here, if you ask the soldiers to call people, just call them. Why does father Luo Wen's tone make it feel like he is the captain?

This is like an ordinary person calling the top leader in someone else's unit and asking them to come see him quickly without wasting time.
