Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

"These sweet potatoes are easy to deal with. We can just collect them and hide them in the cellar. We won't have to worry about them being discovered.

After bringing the peanuts home, you can pick them secretly by hiding in the house. There are not many plants, so drying them doesn't take up much space. If you don't have time, you can spread them out in Zhaozhao's yard to dry and lock the door, so it will be difficult for others to find you.

Tell me, what should we do with this sorghum, millet, and corn?

After harvesting these kinds of grains, they need to be threshed and dried. By then, the corn husks and corn sugar will be everywhere and cannot be hidden in the house. What are you going to do?"

"Yes, the millet and sorghum still need to be winnowed!" The smiles on the faces of Niu Xiaomin and his sister disappeared, and their faces became more and more ugly. This is really a big problem!

If they are caught by accident, they will be in trouble! What should they do? They don’t know! They have never thought of this.

The three brothers and sisters looked at each other. This problem was basically unsolvable for them!

Several people were at a loss!

Niu Xiaoyun's mouth is always faster than her brain, "Zhao Zhao, you should think of a solution quickly, what should we do?

There is so much food here, we can’t be afraid of being discovered, so we don’t want it, right? I can’t bear to part with it! "

This little girl has become accustomed to not using her brain! Do they really need to show off their abilities in front of their parents?

As the saying goes, if a child cries, give him to his mother! Han Zhaozhao can now get 60 points in the course of passing the buck!

Han Zhaozhao spread his hands: "Oh, you ask me about this, who should I ask? Uncle Niu, what do you say we should do?"

Xiao Sanzi was very single, "Uncle Niu, we have already planted the crops, and they are growing so well.

This is all we have, so please find a solution, adults! We will just follow your instructions and do whatever you tell us to do.

If all else fails, just leave it in the sun in the mountains, and at night you adults can come and build the shack to look after the food!"

Well, he made all the arrangements for the parents!

Uncle Niu was so angry at his rogue appearance that he laughed and said to him angrily, "Your father can't escape even if we really beat up the shack!"

No matter what they say or what they say, Xiao Sanzi does have a good brain.

The grains in the valley were so abundant that anyone would be jealous. They were about to be harvested and stored in the warehouse, so he couldn't bear to throw them away, not to mention the children.

I received a letter from my hometown a few days ago saying that there was a severe drought in the first half of the year and more than half of the crops died.

The rainy season has arrived, and we had just replanted the summer crops when it started to rain heavily. Oh, it’s flooded again!

According to the elders in the village, this year's harvest is expected to be less than one-tenth of last year's, and the relatives back home will have to go hungry again this year.

He is in a difficult situation these days, as he has to send money and food to help his brothers and nephews in the second half of the year!

Seeing that the family had just saved 140 yuan this year, his wife touched it every night before going to bed, but he didn't dare tell his wife about it.

Oh! It's hard to be a man! It's even harder to be a man with a family! It's even harder to be a man with a bunch of poor relatives and a family!

Want to ignore it? He couldn't bring himself to say that his brother, who was born of the same mother, was going to starve to death!

Their family received the most food from all the food in the valley!

In a disaster year, is this food? These are human lives!

Oh! Let's go for it! No matter how big the risk is, it's worth taking! A living person can't be suffocated to death by urine. The children dared to do such a big thing behind others' backs, and they, as adults, can't back down when they encounter difficulties.

Uncle Niu began to observe the terrain and was already thinking about where to dry the millet and corn and where to build a shack.

He decided that he would have to give Qian Shuangxi some trouble about this matter when he got back. That old guy was very smart and might be able to come up with a good idea.

If there is really no other choice, they really can only set up shacks on the mountain and go up the mountain to check for food in the middle of the night.

As long as the grain is threshed and dried, it will be easy. Just pack it in sacks and carry it home. There is no place where the grain cannot be put.

Thinking of the piles of grain at home, Uncle Niu grinned. For a moment, he was not afraid of anything!

With an adult working, they could transport the potatoes down the mountain much faster. Niu Xiaoyun and Han Zhaozhao didn't have to do anything. Uncle Niu could carry the 200-pound load by himself.

He carried the potatoes twice, and the three older children, Niu Xiaomin, Xiao Sanzi and Niu Xiaolian, each carried the potatoes once, and all the six or seven hundred kilograms of potatoes were transported down the mountain.

Han Zhaozhao went to the field to cut down the corn stalks from which the corn had been picked yesterday, stripped off the leaves and broke off the heads, and asked Niu Xiaoyun to pick three more young pumpkins.

The two little girls followed Uncle Niu to be transported home for the first time.

The remaining potatoes were hidden in the grass at the foot of the mountain, and Niu Xiaolian was left to watch over them, waiting for Uncle Niu to transport them again.

"Lao Niu, what are you pushing on the cart? Where are you tinkering with this stuff?

When good things happen, don’t keep them to yourself, share some good news with your neighbors.”

When they got home, it was already dark, but they still met curious neighbors in the alley.

"I am just an ordinary worker, not a cadre or an official. How can any good thing happen to me? I can't compare with you!

Chief Zhang, my father-in-law has harvested the potatoes he planted in his private plot and gave two bags to our family.

Do you want it? If you want, I can bring a scale and send you a bag."

Han Zhaozhao lowered his head and smiled secretly. Uncle Niu looked honest, but he had worked in the factory for many years and had a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances!

"Ahem, ahem, potatoes? No need. My wife just bought some at the market today. We don't need any at home. You can keep them for yourself and enjoy them later!"

Section Chief Zhang thought to himself, potatoes are very cheap now, only three or five cents a pound. You can go to the vegetable market and buy whichever ones you like. You can choose whatever you want.

How fresh it is to eat it right now! Who would buy it in sacks and not worry about improper storage and eating the sprouts and getting poisoned?

Humph! Only the Qian family, with many children and a bunch of poor relatives in their hometown who are dragging their feet and waiting for help, store potatoes when potatoes are harvested and store sweet potatoes when sweet potatoes are harvested. The whole family is always farting because of all the food. He doesn't even like to chat with him.

"Hey, two little girls are also going to the countryside?" Section Chief Zhang looked at the two girls, "Why did you two get a few sticks? Do you want to play Monkey King?

That's not nice, that's a game for boys."

As he was talking, he was about to go forward to take it and have a look, and it happened that his son asked him to find a golden hoop stick to play games with his friends.

Isn’t that a coincidence? These strands are just the right thickness, dark in color, and quite smooth.

Niu Xiaoyun hid beside her father and ran home.

Han Zhaozhao was left alone to face this "state cadre" who loved to take advantage of others the most in the alley.

"Uncle Zhang, you are mistaken, this is corn stalks, not sticks.

Niu Xiaoyun, your water bottle is still here with me, wait for me." Before he finished speaking, he ran away.

Section Chief Zhang was stunned. "Why are you running? I haven't even finished my sentence yet! Little girl, how many times have I told you to call me uncle? Are you unfashionable? You should call me uncle!"

You must have learned it from your grandma. You are a girl from Beijing, but when you open your mouth you can hear a strong Northeastern accent. It's so unpleasant!

Eh? No, what corn stalks did these two stingy girls take? They must have been sweet sorghum stalks!

I'm an adult, how could I argue with you kids?

Oh, rural old ladies taking care of children are just short-sighted! "

Uncle Niu had already walked out about ten meters. When he heard what he said, he turned around and said to him in dissatisfaction: "Chief Zhang, as a cadre, your words are a bit too much!

We study every day, and the leaders have said that the working people and the peasant masses are the most glorious! What's more, Mrs. Han is the mother of a martyr!

If other people heard it, it would have a very bad impact.”

Section Chief Zhang's expression immediately turned ugly. He patted his mouth with his hand and forced a smile, "Hey, look at my mouth! I'm used to speaking my mind, and I have no control over what I say.

I really didn't mean it, I was just teasing the little girl.

Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention next time!"
