Although this food was not much compared to others, it still weighed three hundred kilograms, so it was quite tiring to carry it back.
Li Yue'e had just finished transporting the Lu family's pallet truck, and then it was transported to Liu Yuzhi. Lu Guihua was still waiting in line. She only had three bags, so there was no need to use a pallet truck.
Su Mo was about to find someone to help watch when she saw Lu Guoqiang running past out of the corner of his eye and caught him.
"Guoqiang, help Third Aunt look after the food. Third Aunt will go back and ride her bicycle to transport it back."
Lu Guoqiang was very happy. His mother had just said that she would buy him cakes in two days. He was about to show off to his friends, but he was not too happy about it.
But thinking that Brother Guodong said that the third aunt was good at martial arts, he was afraid that she would kick him out if he didn't agree, so he had no choice but to nod his head in agreement.
Su Mo moved the three sacks aside, let Lu Guoqiang look at them, and hurried back to ride her bicycle.
She did not bring any sacks. These three sacks were borrowed by the brigade and would have to be returned later.
Su Mo quickly rode a bicycle and brought two baskets with her. She put the two lighter bags in the basket and hung them on both sides, and tied the heavier bag to the rear rack of the car.
When it weighs 300 pounds, it feels like the front of the car is tilting up a bit. Su Mo didn't dare to ride anymore and was about to push her back.
After giving Lu Guoqiang two candies and sending him away, Su Mo pushed the cart back.
After going back, I swept a clean corner in the utility room and dumped the sweet potatoes there.
The bracts and rice are directly packed in baskets, and then taken to the commune workshop to be ground into rice and cornmeal.
The commune workshop has electric rice mills and flour mills, but some processing fees are required.
Of course, the brigade also has stone mills and rice pounding machines. If you don’t want to spend the money, you can go there and do it manually, but the quality of the results is not as good as that produced by machines.
Su Mo continued to knit sweaters at home, and would go over to buy food when it was almost time.
Not long after weaving, I heard Li Yue'e's voice. When I went out to see her, she was coming in carrying a sack of things.
Su Mo was startled and hurried over to help lift it down.
"From the third family, you definitely don't have enough food to eat. I discussed with your father and gave you this bag of wheat." Li Yue'e said.
"Mom, how can this be done? If I don't have enough food, I will go to the brigade to buy it. Give this to me, you can eat whatever you want." Su Mo didn't want to eat food from the old man's mouth.
Li Yue'e waved her hand, "We are old and don't have much to eat. It's enough. Just take it and save the money to buy."
"Put it away, mother has to go back and clean it up." After saying that, Li Yue'e left in a hurry.
Su Mo sighed. It was not easy for her to send the old man's thoughts back. She would just slowly prepare delicious food and make up for them in the future.
After moving the wheat to the shelf in the west room and putting it away, Su Mo continued knitting. When it was almost time, she took the sack and rode her bicycle to the brigade warehouse again.
As expected by Lu Xingjun, there were quite a few people waiting to buy food when they came back.
Fortunately, the brigade left enough food.
After dividing the grain, Lu Qingan and Lu Baoguo saw more and more people coming to buy grain. After discussing it, they decided on a countermeasure.
Each household can buy up to 100 kilograms of fine grains and 300 kilograms of coarse grains.
Otherwise, if we let the purchase go, there will be so many people, no matter how many we have, it will not be enough. The brigade will have to keep some food for war preparation.
Su Mo waited in line for a while before it was her turn. After returning the sack to the brigade, Su Mo handed over his own sack. Rice, corn and sweet potatoes each cost 100 kilograms, costing 17 yuan.
After carrying all the food home, Su Mo continued to knit sweaters.
In the evening, Lu Qingjun estimated that he had gone home. Su Mo took a bag, packed a sweater, and prepared to go over to see how wide the shoulders and sleeves should be to see if they would be narrower by then.
As soon as she entered the Lu family's yard, she heard the sound of beatings coming from the second bedroom's house. Su Mo was a little confused and hurried into the living room of the main house.
Liu Yuzhi is making noodles and preparing to steam steamed buns.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Su Mo pointed to the second room.
Liu Yuzhi sneered, "I guess I'm not happy because I didn't get any money today."
"Isn't it normal for her to haul three people's rations by herself and not get any money?" Su Mo was a little puzzled, "Her work score is not high in the first place."
I didn't pay much money, so I should be happy.
"People don't think that way. Just thinking about comparing with my family and seeing how much we get gives me pink eye."
"She didn't even think about it. Your eldest brother only gets 2,100 work points. I also get seven or eight work points every day. The children at home also help earn work points by cutting pig grass. Can it be the same?" Liu Yuzhi can be regarded as having someone to talk to. , the bitterness in my heart must be vomited.
"You don't know, since the second son went to the lumber factory, she received her salary with the help of her second son. She only worked six work points a day, and nothing more. The same goes for the two boys at home. They go to play crazy every day and only get a few work points. None of them are earned.”
"Before we separated, she thought we had taken advantage of her. She was very angry every day, and she pushed me to do all the work at home. I was almost bullied to death by her." Thinking of the past, Liu Yuzhi's eyes became a little moist.
"It's good to separate the families. Only after we separate the families can we know who took advantage of whom." Liu Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, third brother and sister, what do you want to do here?"
"The sweater is almost finished. I'll come over and compare it with my eldest brother to see how wide it is at the shoulders and sleeves." Su Mo said with a smile.
"Oh, you finished knitting so quickly? Let me take a look." Liu Yuzhi washed his hands and wiped them again.
Su Mo took the sweater out of the bag and handed it over.
After Liu Yuzhi took it, he exclaimed: "Third brothers and sisters, your patterns are really beautiful." Coming from a big city, it is indeed different.
"I have allocated a lot of money this year. I am going to knit sweaters for the three little ones. Then you can teach me how to knit this pattern."
"Okay, no problem." It's not a big deal, "When will brother be back?"
"It should be soon. I asked him to take the children to buy eggs." Liu Yuzhi said with a smile. He was happy today and was ready to make a good meal.
These days, each household is only allowed to raise three chickens. When the family was divided, the original three chickens were given to my parents-in-law. She had to wait until spring to raise them here, so there were no eggs.
"Three younger brothers and sisters, let's eat here tonight. My sister-in-law will steam white flour buns." Liu Yuzhi said.
The third brother and sister had given them rabbit meat before, but she didn't have anything delicious to give her. A meal of white flour steamed buns was still okay.
Su Mo waved her hand, "Sister-in-law, no need. I had already cooked before I came here and it is still warming in the pot."
At this time, the sound of bicycles was heard outside the door. It was Lu Weiguo coming back from get off work.
Lu Weiguo parked the car and went into the house to see Lu Guihua sitting on a stool. He didn't see any cooking, so he asked, "Why don't you cook? How is the food distribution today?"
One sentence instantly ignited the fire in Lu Guihua's heart.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. You three, father and son, none of you work, just rely on me to support you."
Lu Weiguo was confused, "Did you take medicine today? Why are you so crazy? Since when did I rely on you to support me?"
"Am I crazy? I'm crazy. I'm frustrated. You don't rely on me to support you? You have paid all your wages this year, but your food is paid for by my work points."
"Haha... I gave the money to others, and I will buy the food. How can there be such a good thing in the world." Lu Guihua spoke louder and louder.
"Some people really don't take advantage of it enough. They get a lot of money from the family division, and they get their own work points, so they don't have to worry about having their stomachs broken."
Liu Yuzhi couldn't stand what he heard from the other side, so he immediately rushed out, put his hands on his hips, and was about to start a fight with the other side.
Su Mo:......
So, is she trying to break up the fight now? Or should I just sit back and eat in silence?
Waiting online, it’s very urgent!
