1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, at 10 o'clock in the evening, a figure went into the thatched grass behind the family compound. A few minutes later, three more figures went in. When they came out, all four of them were carrying things on their backs.

Four people sneaked into the courtyard and entered the Du family's house, and then the gate of the Du family was closed. The four people were Du Weihai, Du Yidong, the third brother Du Yinan and Du Yimeng.

What they didn't know was that a dark shadow followed them and walked into Yu's house next door after a while.

This person is Yu Lang. His only task is to protect Du Yimeng's safety. As for what the Du family does, it is not within the scope of his mission.

So he didn't know who the Du family was doing business with because he didn't follow them.

He would also often go to the black market to buy some things. As for why the Du family did not go to the black market, he would not be curious to find out. Everyone has their own secrets, just like him.

Snakes have their own way, rats have their own way, each has its own way. At this time, as long as you can fill your stomach, any method is fine.

Du Yimeng often brought some food and other supplies from home, but not much, so the task of buying food was given to her.

But she was a cautious person and didn't even dare to pretend to go to the black market, so she set her sights on the thatched lawn behind the family compound.

The Du family thought that she was able to buy these supplies through connections, but in fact, they were all supplies in her space.

At the grain store, rice is 23 cents per pound, flour is 18 cents, and whole grains are 1 cent. But now the price of grain on the black market has risen to over 2 yuan, and demand still exceeds supply.

Du Yimeng could only say that she had connections and that the price was a bit cheaper than on the black market. She wanted to say less, but she was worried her family would think too much. After all, no one is stupid.

The Du family has enough food for now and doesn’t need to buy more, but who would complain about having too much food in this day and age?

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The Du family has to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year according to the custom. They can't go back empty-handed, and they have to buy some good things for the New Year.

This time, Du's mother was very generous, buying 150 kilograms of coarse grains, 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, 10 kilograms of pork and 5 kilograms of sugar.

With these things, plus a lot more bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, it can be said that this year is the most prosperous year for the Du family.

"Sister, these grains are really cheap. Now the coarse grains on the black market are sold for two yuan, and this is only one yuan." While Du Yidong was speaking, he looked at Du Yimeng with a sharp gaze. There was something called ambition in his eyes, ready to move.

"Then what? Take these grains to the black market and resell them?" Du Yimeng asked with a smile. She was indeed tempted. After all, she had a lot of grains in her space.

However, she did not express her thoughts openly. She planned to test the reaction of Du's parents first and then make plans.

Sure enough, Du Yidong nodded.

"Then you were caught and sent to squat in the fence. It just so happens that you, as an apprentice, have not yet been regularized, so you can go directly to the farm to eat." Before Du Yimeng could say anything, Du's mother said coldly to Du Yidonggang.

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. You may be able to escape once or twice, but if you do this for a long time, you will definitely be targeted by people with ulterior motives. There are always smart people in places. Moreover, even if there is no danger, you will also be careless.

If she was caught, she would only lose a son. The last thing she needed was a son. There was nothing to lose for her, and she could also save a lot of food.

But hasn’t all the food she wasted over the years been wasted?

Du Yidong: ...

What his mother said was so scary. He just had a little ambition, but was strangled to death by his mother.

"It's a good thing that you were arrested. This way, we can save some money on the betrothal gift. There are three rooms in the family compound, and we can give one to each of your three younger brothers. Now the housing issue is solved." Du Weihai nodded as he spoke.

Du Yidong: ...

"Don't worry, if you are caught, we will immediately draw a clear line between ourselves and you, and we will never let you bring us any harm." Du's mother added.

The couple sang the same tune, and Du Yidong's ambition was directly killed.

Du Yidong: ...

He didn't say anything, he just had a little idea, there was no need to do that.

Du Yimeng already understood what the Du family’s parents meant, but she didn’t care. How could something that should have been done secretly be done openly?

However, this matter still needs to be considered carefully, because she doesn't dare to go to the black market!

Then she turned her attention to Du Yidong. She admired ambitious people.

"Don't talk about what happened tonight outside. If anyone dares to talk nonsense outside, I will peel off his black skin. Do you hear me clearly?" Du's mother lowered her voice and threatened.

Seeing the four brothers of the Du family nodding repeatedly, Du's mother nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom, I'm hungry. How about we make some pancakes?" Lao Wu struggled to move his eyes away from the meat. His stomach was already extremely hungry and he just wanted to eat a pancake.

"The scallion pancake is so delicious..." said the fourth brother after swallowing.

"How about getting some?" Du Weihai was disturbed by his two sons' noise and thought of the taste of scallion pancakes. He was also hungry.

They had dinner at around five o'clock, and it was already midnight, plus the 150 kilograms of coarse grains he had just carried back.

"Anyone who wants to eat, come and help." Mother Du hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. Not only were the boys hungry, she herself was hungry. It was almost Chinese New Year, so she might as well treat it as a luxury.

Du's mother brought several children into the kitchen, and everyone divided the work among themselves, some kneading the dough, and some chopping onions.

There is strength in numbers. After a while, the aroma of scallion pancakes filled the air. Yu Lang, who had just lay down next door, sighed helplessly in the darkness.

It's already the middle of the night, stop tossing and turning and go to bed!

As a result, he heard his stomach growling in the darkness. He got out of bed helplessly and took out a can of beef from the cabinet.

I ate cold canned beef while enjoying the aroma of scallion pancakes from next door.

……

The next morning, the Du family took out their best clothes, dressed neatly, and headed for the Chaohong Brigade of Shengli Commune.

The factory gave three days off for the Chinese New Year. Although it was only three days, many units did not give holidays, and even if they did, they still had to take turns on duty.

In previous years, the machinery factory only had one day off on New Year's Eve. This year, perhaps because the factory was doing well, the factory generously gave three days off.

However, even with three days off, they had no plans to stay overnight at their hometown. Going in the morning and returning in the evening, even if it was tiring, was better than staying at someone else's house.

Before leaving, the Du family had a disagreement about what means of transportation to use to go back.

Du Yimeng had a bicycle ticket, and later bought a women's bicycle, so the Du family now had two bicycles.

Du Weihai thought about riding both bicycles back. Pretending to be bald was not his style.
