"Red Army, Hong Yi, you also eat sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes are so big that even two of us may not be able to finish them. If we can't finish them, we'll throw them away."
The most important thing for Su Xiaoqiang now is sweet potatoes, not too many.
Yan Bugui looked at such a big sweet potato and asked curiously: "This sweet potato is of the right variety. I can't buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Hehe, I asked a friend to get it for me. You know there is a shortage of food now, but there is not necessarily a shortage of sweet potatoes."
"Oh~ he is indeed a chef, he knows a lot of people." Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and pulled Su Xiaoqiang aside, "Can your friend still get it? My family is also short of food recently, and every day If you eat even a grain of rice, you will lose your food supply.”
"this……"
"I'll buy it with money, do you think it's okay?" Yan Bugui's words made Su Xiaoqiang want to roll his eyes. Do you still want to buy it for free?
"Uncle Yan, you also know how precious food is now. Even sweet potatoes have increased a lot."
"Then...how much is that per pound?" Yan Bugui also felt pain, but there was really no food at home. He was hungry when he returned home from eating Wowotou today. That was his day's ration.
"It used to be 3 cents per catty, but now it's 2 cents per catty. But what's our relationship? I'll ask my friend to give you 1 cents per catty. How about that?"
Yan Bugui almost jumped when he heard 2 cents per catty. In the past, fine grains were not worth this price, but when he thought about this famine, it seemed normal, and then it dropped to 1 cents per catty. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say. .
"Then I weigh 100 pounds for 10 yuan."
"Are you sure? Uncle Yan, how long do you think this famine will last?"
"Is it almost next year?" Yan Bugui looked at Su Xiaoqiang and asked uncertainly.
"Next year? I won't be able to survive the year after that. I came from the countryside. I'm more familiar with the specific situation than you are." It's only 60 years now, and it will take until 62 years for him to feel relieved. Su Xiaoqiang feels a little stressed. He originally felt that he was like this. I ordered a lot of sweet potatoes, but now I think it’s too little. If I had known, it would have been increased to 10,000 times.
"It's so serious!" Yan Bugui never expected that he only felt the lack of food, very short of food, and the ration of food was repeatedly reduced, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
"Qinjia Village is located at the confluence of three rivers, and there are mountain springs for irrigation, so the food output has been reduced by half! Think about what will happen in other places?" Su Xiaoqiang analyzed.
This is also the Forty-Nine Cities, and other cities are filled with victims.
"Then I want two hundred kilograms! I really have no money for any more." Yan Bugui also wanted to buy more, but the family couldn't save any money, and his boss wanted to marry a wife.
Thinking of marrying a wife, Yan Bugui thought of Su Xiaoqiang's craftsmanship. After thinking about it, he might as well talk about it next time. The favor this time has been used up. He will finish Da Ya's affairs later.
"Then you go out and pick it up at 12 o'clock in the morning. I will let him put it at the door." Su Xiaoqiang said it dry, but he only sold an extra hundred pounds. This old boy is too timid. I won't do it next time. Business is over.
After eating the sweet potatoes, everyone went to look at the fishing traps. There were three small grass carps weighing two kilograms, one big fish weighing five kilograms, and the others were all small fish.
"It can be divided equally. I still have three big fish here. Each of our three families has a big fish and a small grass carp. You can catch the other miscellaneous fish yourself if you want." Su Xiaoqiang's generosity made Yanbu Guidu moved, and he wished he could be there. join the team.
"Uncle Yan, I give you this five-pound fish. Thank you for helping to look after the children." Without Yan Bugui watching, Su Xiaoqiang wouldn't worry about inserting the fish.
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Yan Bugui felt that he had been taking advantage, so much so that he felt embarrassed.
"It's nothing. I'm very generous to people who are good to me." Su Xiaoqiang said pointedly.
After all, this period of time is too high-profile, and it is unwise to offend everyone in this era. It would also be very troublesome if these beasts were tied together to report themselves.
But as long as you win over Yan Bugui in the front yard, you don't have to worry about being reported if you fight in the future.
Anyway, a similar thing happened in Qinjia Village. Everyone said that the second-rate man was a landlord, and then they really took him away. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
"Uncle, we haven't helped much with the work, so we can't have this fish." Lin Hongjun looked at the fish in his hand, thought about it, and walked over and said.
"Why did you become uncle? Call me brother!" Su Xiaoqiang felt that he was not old enough. It was normal for Da Ya and others to call him uncle, but you, a brat, wanted to be called uncle too.
"Brother Su, we don't want fish." Maybe Su Xiaoqiang's words frightened the other party, because he said these words with a vibrato.
"It's for you, just take it and help me with more work from now on." Su Xiaoqiang said nonchalantly.
"Oh~ I can work, Brother Su, just tell me to do it." Lin Hongjun thought about it and it was okay. My sister really needs nutrition, and this fish meat can just supplement it. She can just help Brother Su work more in the future.
"Well, I like obedient children."
The group of people walked back laughing and joking. Yan Bugui walked at the front along the way, fearing that others would not know that he caught the fish.
"Oh~ today is the last day of fun. I have to go to school tomorrow. If I don't go, I'm afraid the teacher will come to my house." Zhang Li said with a bitter smile.
"Congratulations, why don't you give me this fish? I'll pickle it for you. Come back and get it when you want to eat it." Su Xiaoqiang was ecstatic. He was finally leaving. It's great. I can live a quiet life for a few days. .
"Are you happy?"
"How could it happen? I'm very sad, but studies are important. If you can get into college, it will change your life!" Su Xiaoqiang replied seriously.
"Yes, you can be assigned a job after being admitted to university. Unlike my eldest son, it costs a lot of money to find a job now." Yan Bugui became angry when he thought of this.
"University?" Zhang Li thought for a while but still didn't speak.
Back in the courtyard, Su Xiaoqiang told everyone about sending Daya to study.
"Sigh... This matter was supposed to be done by the two of us. It really bothers my brother-in-law." Lu Baolian stood up and said, and Su Daqiang on the side immediately followed to support him.
"Huh? Brother, how did you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Lu Baolian was not feeling well two days ago, so she made an appointment to go for a checkup today. Seeing this situation, there may be something happy.
"you guess!"
"I do not guess you guess guess?"
"Hey, your sister-in-law is pregnant again."
"Congratulations! I'm going to be a father again." Su Xiaoqiang didn't expect to get pregnant again so soon. I hope it's a boy this time. Although I don't favor boys over girls, it would be great if I could come up with a good word. .
