This disapproval made everyone's eyes focus on Chen Fen.

He was the one who yelled the objection just now.

"Chen Fen?" Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, "Do you have any comments?"

"I don't have any objections to eating big pot meals, but I just don't want to participate. I won't stop you if you want to eat big pot meals." Chen Fen understated and refused to be with them.

This made Yi Zhonghai very angry, "Chen Fen, I know that your family has a lot of food, but the food shortage in the whole country is not something that can be ended in a day or two. As I said just now, no matter how much food there is, it will be finished soon , what will you do when you finish eating?"

"If I finish eating, I will naturally find a way."

"Are you so confident?"

"It's not self-confidence, it's just trust in the country. I believe that the country will not let us have food shortages."

"Stupid, young..." Yi Zhonghai said a lot.

The second uncle was straightforward, "Okay, old man, since Chen Fen doesn't want to participate, he can't force it."

"Yes." The third master followed suit, "But I have to remind you Chen Fen, if your family has no food by then, don't ask us for it."

"Don't worry, even if my family dies of starvation, I won't ask you for it."

After speaking, Chen Fen got up and took Liu Hui back to the house.

Leaving the other neighbors in the yard sniffing at them.

"Tch, what are you doing Qinggao, you don't want to have a meal with us, and we don't want to have a meal with you."

"Hey, he is the head of the technical department of the factory, and his wife is the workshop director of the factory, so naturally he doesn't like us."

"I'll just see how long they can last. Don't cry and beg us to give them a bite to eat."

"..."

Everyone was looking forward to seeing the day when Chen Fen's family fell down, because they were hungry and begged them.

Especially Qin Huairu's family and Xu Damao, wishing that the famine would be more severe.

Let's see how long the Chen Fen family can last.

"Since Chen Fen's family doesn't want to participate, that's fine." Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Let's break up today's meeting. Everyone will hand over their own food later, and they must not keep it privately, understand?"

"understand!"

The big guys went home and took the food, and the food piled up into a hill after a while.

What cornmeal, white flour, rice, wheat and so on.

There are also various vegetables, as well as meat.

It looks like enough for people in a courtyard house to eat for ten days and half a month.

There are more than ten or twenty households in the courtyard, and the food adds up to a lot.

Especially Xu Damao's family and the family of the three uncles.

The food of the four families together accounted for more than half of the pile of food.

The best handover was of course Qin Huairu's family, their family had nothing to hand over.

I can only contribute some money and food stamps and so on.

Seeing the grain, the old man became worried, "It looks like there is a lot of food, but we can't keep us from eating too much fast. In the future, everyone should find a way to get food, you know?"

"understood."

The people in the yard agreed quickly, and then helped carry the grain to the cellar.

It was not until late at night that the food was moved.

"The door must be locked. There are rations for our entire yard inside, so don't let anyone steal it." The third master explained, and glanced at the door of Chen Fen's house.

"Okay, third master, don't worry, you will never let those who have not paid the food get any food."

Who is talking about, everyone knows in their hearts.

But just to be on the safe side, people in the yard still take turns guarding the cellar.

If the food in the cellar was stolen, the whole courtyard would starve to death.

Chen Fen and Liu Hui here had already washed and lay down on the bed.

Liu Hui snuggled into Chen Fen's arms, a little puzzled, "Honey, why don't we participate?"

"Why are we participating? There is no shortage of food."

"That's what I said, but it's not easy to exchange food recently."

"Don't worry, I won't starve you."

"I'm not worried about this. Anyway, I've been hungry since I was a child. It's okay to be hungry for a few more years."

"Actually, I also have my own ideas. You know that big pots of rice are the most likely to breed lazy people. At that time, it may be people who raise a courtyard."

"Yeah, I'm actually worried about that too."

"Sleep, this famine won't last long."

"Ah."

The reason why Chen Fen did not participate in the big pot meal was because he was confident of getting food.

Even if there is a famine, he can still ensure that he and Liu Hui eat and drink well.

Why bother with them?

On the contrary, they won't be able to eat for a long time, and conflicts will inevitably arise in the future.

However, there is also something that Chen Fen is worried about, that is, the food cannot be exchanged now.

Gotta find a way to get some food.

After seeing Liu Hui who had closed her eyes and fell asleep, Chen Fen also turned off the lights and fell asleep.

……

Because of the impact of the famine, even the factories began to cut back on food.

The wages are also replaced by food and money plus food stamps.

But the food is only cornmeal, and the better ones may be a little refined.

Don't even think about meat, it would be nice to be able to eat enough.

Big pot meals have also begun to be eaten in the courtyard, serving three meals a day.

Sha Zhu and several other women in the courtyard acted as cooks.

In the first few days, I ate fairly well, with meat and vegetables every day.

People who haven't eaten meat for a long time can also feel the taste of meat.

Especially Qin Huairu's family laughed from ear to ear.

During the meal, Mrs. Jia Zhang held the bowl and began to praise the big pot of rice, "I think this big pot of rice can go on forever, and it will benefit the neighbors."

"Not bad, not bad." Several other neighbors also agreed.

"That's right, I almost forgot what meat tastes like, and I finally got to eat meat today."

"..."

Xu Damao was not happy, "You are happy to eat, the meat you are eating now is from my family."

The third uncle and the second uncle are also quite dissatisfied, because the meat is almost from their family.

Seeing that someone was emotional, Yi Zhonghai hurried out to smooth things over.

"Don't be emotional about those who have more food. Everyone eats the same food. You will always eat other people's food."

Yi Zhonghai's words made many neighbors applaud.

For people like Jia Zhang, they can't wait to eat a big pot of rice all the time.

You don't have to do anything all day long, just eat when it's time.

After eating, you can go out for a walk, this life is happier than a god.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the meat in the bowl.

But after reacting, I found that the meat in the bowl was empty.

All that's left is the soup, apart from the à la carte leaves.

This is the bad thing about big pot meals, she can't win others at all.

A big pot of meat looks like a lot, but it's gone with one chopstick per person.

Since there is no meat, let's eat two more bowls of rice.

But when she wanted to serve the rice, she found that there were only grains of rice left.
