Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

"Zhao Zhao, the teacher asked you to go to school tomorrow. There will be a labor class, you have to participate."

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Sanzi came.

Han Zhaozhao was busy watering the vegetable garden in the backyard. The weather was too dry and there were many winds in spring. If the vegetable garden was not watered for three days, it would lack water.

"Oh, I got it. Wait for me tomorrow morning." After conveying the school notice, Xiao Sanzi did not leave. He had finished his homework. He took the bucket, helped press the water, and watered the vegetables with Han Zhaozhao.

"This vegetable is growing really fast. It looks like it will be ready for transplanting soon. In a few days, should we put up the trellises?"

As he grew older, Xiao Sanzi became much more stable and was finally able to settle down and help with some work.

"Well, it will take four or five days at most to set up the trellise. I have prepared the tree branches, and you can come and help me when the time comes."

It is more efficient to set up the scaffolding with two people, one to hold it while the other one to tie it. If they work well together, they can do it very quickly.

"Okay, just squeak when the time comes."

"Zhao Zhao, why aren't there many cucumbers and tomatoes planted this year?" asked Xiao Sanzi.

There are many friends, and if they don't plant enough, there won't be enough to share. How can he have the nerve to come to the house and ask for food? You know, Zhaozhao's cucumbers and tomatoes fill the fruit gap for him for the year.

When I’m hungry, I rely on Zhao Zhao’s cucumbers and tomatoes to satisfy my craving!

Han Zhaozhao smiled and knew what this mistress was thinking.

"If you don't have enough to eat, I'll take you to the mountains to find wild fruits. Haven't you heard that this year is the year of drought in Jiulong? Last year, there was no harvest in the countryside due to the steel production. If there is another drought this year, I'm afraid the whole country will starve.

My grandma said that we can do without vegetables, but we cannot lack food, otherwise we will starve to death. So, we moved out the vegetable garden from the beginning and planted more potatoes and sweet potatoes that can stave off hunger.

We can't worry about anything else, we just have to plan our own life well.

How much food do you have left? Tell your mother to eat sparingly and save some secretly. If that happens, life will be easier."

Han Zhaozhao started nagging again, and now she was becoming more and more anxious.

"Don't worry, my family has plenty of food. Apart from giving some millet and potatoes to my grandmother's family and my eldest brother's family, my father has already found a place to store the rest.

My father also said that when he was on a business trip to Nanjing, a blind fortune teller told him that there would be famine for several years.

You can’t believe this completely, but you can’t disbelieve it either. My dad knows what’s going on and told us not to worry about it and just focus on studying hard.”

Look, Uncle Qian has traveled all over the country and has seen a lot. Otherwise, his life would be getting better and better. She really doesn’t need to worry about him.

“If the rumors are really coming true, your family has this small vegetable garden and your grandma has a job, it shouldn’t have much of an impact.

Xiaoyun's family is a bit in danger, Zhaozhao, you don't know? It's only been a short time, and Xiaoyun's family has almost used up half of their food."

Xiao Sanzi's words seemed light, but when Han Zhaozhao heard them, they sounded a little frightening.

My goodness, several thousand kilograms of food, including potatoes and sweet potatoes, it’s almost ten thousand kilograms. Xiaoyun’s family of six are still eating the supply, where did all the food go?

Seeing Han Zhaozhao's surprised expression, Xiao Sanzi smiled bitterly: "No one has been to anyone's house for a few days, you are also shocked, right? Speaking of last year's land reclamation, Xiaoyun's family got the most food among the three of our families. In theory, if we eat frugally, it should be enough for the whole family to eat for three to five years.

But there are too many people in their family who are lagging behind, and all the poor relatives have been overtaken by them.

Brother Xiaomin told me that before the New Year, Uncle Niu gave them 700 to 800 kilograms of food in several installments in their hometown in Henan alone.

After the New Year, someone sent a message saying that the family was out of food again, so Uncle Niu asked the driver from my father's unit to bring another 200 kilograms of food.

It's only been a few months, and there are still four or five months until the autumn harvest. Just wait and see. Henan is a bottomless pit. Not to mention Aunt Niu's family, those families in Henan alone can bring Xiaoyun's family down."

"Hey! My parents both said that Uncle Niu is a good person. That's right, how can I put it, he is too good..."

Xiao Sanzi couldn't continue, and Han Zhaozhao was speechless. Indeed, this matter is hard to say.

Aunt Niu and Xiaomin and his two siblings have nothing to say. As neighbors, no matter how well they get along, there are some things they cannot say.

Alas! Han Zhaozhao and Xiao Sanzi looked at each other in silence. They couldn't continue the conversation.

After a long while, the third child took the initiative to break the silence: "Zhao Zhao, why do I feel uneasy? Are we really not going to go into the mountains to farm this year?"

"No more planting. If I plant again, it will be easy to be exposed. I will listen to the adults and stay at home honestly this year. I will focus on studying and try to improve my grades.

Don't think too much about other things, just talk about it, this is the real thing. Didn't you hear what the adults said? The brothers and sisters who were recruited last year will soon be regular employees.

People with higher education levels will have a salary that is more than one level higher than those with lower education levels at a certain level.

In the next few years, this gap will become larger and larger. To be honest, this is a real iron rice bowl that you have to hold on to for many years. "

Xiao Sanzi's academic performance has improved rapidly this year, and he is said to have entered the top 20 in his grade. However, according to Han Zhaozhao, this is by no means his limit. According to his IQ, if he calms down, he may be the first in the city, but he should have no problem getting into the top three in the district.

Han Zhaozhao has confidence in him, and her confidence comes from the food produced in the space that she often provides to her friends.

Such good stuff, after eating it for nearly two years, even if it were a pig, it would have improved into an extremely smart Peppa pig.

A little nutrition for the brain is just a little kiss!

She dared to say that the third daughter, Niu Xiaoyun, was not extremely smart, but she was also very smart. Although she could not memorize everything she saw, as long as she worked hard and focused, it would not be difficult for her to get an average of 90 points in each course.

Unfortunately, the two of them didn't pay much attention to their studies, and the third child still loved to form gangs and run around the alleys. Niu Xiaoyun spent most of her energy on family matters and housework.

If they could put more energy into studying, their grades would definitely improve rapidly in a month at most.

I had just finished watering the vegetable garden and returned to the front yard when Niu Xiaoyun came. It's true that people are weird and can't be helped.

"Zhao Zhao, I don't know how to do two questions. Can you help me?"

She brought her schoolbag and prepared to do her homework at my house.

"Let me see, which two questions are they?" Han Zhaozhao washed his hands, dried them carefully with a towel, took Niu Xiaoyun's exercise book and took a look. Hey, it's easy!

"Yun, you should be able to do both of these questions. Look, like this, like this, shouldn't you have figured it out?

The teacher has taught both of these types of questions, but they are a little more complicated than the examples in the textbook. In fact, they are just new wine in old bottles, with similar ideas, except that one more step is added to the original questions.

There are three questions in Exercise 4 that are similar to this pattern, and there are two similar questions in the review. Try them together to see if you can follow the same idea. "

Niu Xiaoyun scratched her head and thought seriously, and practiced the five questions that Han Zhaozhao had marked for her. She became more and more fluent in the questions and her ideas became clearer and clearer.

"I understand now. I won't be confused when I encounter this type of question next time."
