Chapter 76 From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult

Chapter 76: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

"Dangdangdang."

The bell for dinner at Damingzhuang rang. Normally, everyone was very enthusiastic when they heard this sound. They took the bowls and chopsticks and went straight to the canteen while talking and laughing. They were happier than during the Chinese New Year. After four consecutive days of soup and water, everyone knew that there was not much in the canteen. The food is gone, and I can no longer be happy.

"Second brother, we don't want to go to the big cafeteria. We have sorghum and wild vegetable porridge every day, and it makes my throat sore."

"If you don't go to the cafeteria to eat, if you complain that you're hungry later, I'll see if I beat you to death."

The little girl held Li Wenkui's arm and followed pitifully with her head raised to express her wishes. She was scolded by her mother with a fierce face, but she couldn't spoil the little girl. The thoughtful person realized that this was a big trouble, wrapped her up and lowered her voice.

"We can't say anything like this in the future. Others will know our secret. What if others come to rob us? And today's food should be better."

This did not lie to her, because just last night, she put thirty kilograms of fine grains and ten kilograms of cornmeal into the grain tank in the canteen. At least it was much better than the few remaining sorghum and red beans in the village, and the consistency of the porridge was also better. Better.

"I don't believe it. My good friend Mei Zi said that there is no food in the village and we will have to eat wild vegetables from now on."

Meizi is the daughter of Widow Huang, and she has come to play at home several times. The little girl has a lively appearance, and Xijing is relatively reserved, which is related to the family and the general environment.

"If my second brother lied to you, I'll give you the dregs from last time today!"

"I want to eat. I'm going to go see what the cafeteria has done today."

After I got the water tank last time, I slaughtered the big fat pig from the village. The pig fat and pig fat were boiled into oil. I filled half of the water tank with the oil residue. I sprinkled honey on it for my little sister. Eating it as a snack made her very happy.

The little sister's high-pitched screams made her father unhappy. Seeing her running so fast, and with a loving face on her face, he shouted at the little body running away.

“Be careful and don’t fall.

Ping'er, after dinner, Fan Erhu and Wang Fox will apologize to you and make a self-examination in front of the whole village. I promised you that Uncle Yao will no longer pursue this matter, and I hope you understand. "

His father shook his head at the little sister who ran away, then turned to the eldest sister and told her about the evil attempt of Yao Erhu and his wife last time, which made him a little angry.

“Dad, how can you make the decision for my eldest sister?

If you act like a hooligan, you can just apologize and it will be resolved. Can you do this in the future? "

"What are you talking about? I am your father, why can't I make the decision for you?"

"Be a hammer!"

"Akui, why are you talking to your father? This is on the road. If people see how bad it is, shut up quickly."

His eldest brother and his mother quickly put their bodies in the middle to stop the quarrel. The eldest sister also took Li Wenkui's arm and walked to the front.

"Kuizi, forget it, don't quarrel with dad. In fact, I haven't been harmed by this matter, so forget it!"

I was busy with the affairs of Chengguo Village and forgot to deal with Yao Erhu's affairs, but I was a little disgusted with this kind of arbitrary behavior.

No matter how good your relationship with Yao Weimin is, you cannot compromise on matters in principle. You can just deal with it how you want to deal with it. From the tone just now, it seems that you have not discussed it with the eldest sister beforehand. This is the most annoying thing.

It is not difficult to punish Yao Erhu or Wang Fox, but the way he does things makes people very worried. The last time he yelled at him didn't give him enough warning!

"I won't talk about this matter, but as promised, you'd better stop interfering in my affairs as soon as possible."

After saying that, regardless of his livid father, he greeted Fan Jingqiu as he walked over and entered the cafeteria. Sun Guoqiang and Yao Zhiliang were standing not far away, waving.

"Did you have a fight with your righteous uncle? I see that both of you look ugly."

"No, let's not talk about it. Why do you look so thin? Is the food in the commune cafeteria so bad?"

<divclass="contentadv">I was just depressed, but now I scanned her up and down and my eyes stopped under her collar. It was really surprising. It had only been a week since I last saw Fan Jingqiu, and Fan Jingqiu looked a lot more haggard and thinner.

"Rogue, where are you looking? Let's talk later."

This girl's powers of observation are really strong, and she can detect her even when she's so hidden, but she strikes harder, and the little red-faced hand reaches out, and he grabs a piece of soft flesh around her waist and spins it half a circle. , like watching seven 80s TV sets and changing channels.

"I'm really impressed by the two of you. You just came here with so many people watching?"

"You will have more strength after eating dinner. There is a vast world in the back mountain for you to do whatever you want."

Yao Zhiliang and Sun Guoqiang sang together, and the people at the same table and around them glanced over. Fan Jingqiu's face turned into a red Fuji apple with embarrassment. It was not until the porridge was served that she returned to normal and stood up to put the porridge on the table.

Everyone no longer joked that porridge is a meal, and if you don’t eat it, it will be gone. However, the order is very good now. There are no fights or disputes. There are only the crisp sounds of chopsticks hitting the bowl and the sizzling sound of sucking. The atmosphere is a bit... Dull.

"Why don't you eat it!"

After being touched by Fan Jingqiu's arm, her astonished expression subsided, and then she picked up the bowl of wild vegetable and sorghum porridge she served for herself and drank it, but the anger in her heart soared uncontrollably.

Where are the fine grains and cornmeal I gave you?Someone is doing some tricks!

The thing that worries me the most has emerged. I am competing for food with everyone in the village. It doesn't matter to adults. I secretly send better food to the grain tank at the village headquarters just to take care of the children. Otherwise, I can just put some coarse grains in to sustain myself temporarily. .

I don’t know if it was an individual act or a collective act of village cadres. Who could it be?

Your heart must be too dark. When the grain was delivered yesterday, there were less than five kilograms of sorghum left in the village's grain tank, and about one kilogram of various beans. It was definitely not enough to feed hundreds of people in one village. At least you should put one of the two kinds of food!

This person must be found, otherwise nothing will happen next. In the end, the command just fattened a few rats.

"There are less sorghum and red beans today. Hey, in two days they will all be turned into wild vegetables!"

Yao Zhiliang curled his lips, spit out wild vegetable roots on the ground, and talked to himself, which aroused the resonance of others.

"Hey, the food was still rich some time ago, with pork, chicken, and duck taking turns, but now red beans, sorghum, and wild vegetables are taking turns. The gap is a bit big!

Little sister, it’s just wild vegetable porridge. I’ve never seen you so happy when eating big steamed buns! "

Sun Guoqiang put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth while lamenting the difference in food before and after. Seeing the happy look on his little girl's face, he started joking.

There were four people at the table, and only the little girl was eating this wild vegetable porridge with a smile, as if she was eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Can she be unhappy because there are oily residues left in her food?

"How delicious is it? Children shouldn't be picky eaters, that's what my mother said, haha! Zizzi..."

The people at the same table were all amused. Fan Jingqiu got up and stood next to her, giving her heartfelt support and encouragement. Just when everyone was smiling a little because of the little girl, there was a loud noise from a table not far away. .

"boom"

"Ah, Daniel, you are crazy. Look, you splashed all over me."

"Damn it, how can you eat this thing! It's gone as soon as you urinate. I have been doing heavy work these days, and my body will definitely collapse if I continue like this.

But the village cadres were hiding to eat and drink. I didn't accept it, so all those who had the guts got up and went to see their cadres' small rooms to see if they had the guts to eat. "

I originally thought that the villagers would be able to withstand it. They had experienced hard times in the past. They had eaten elm leaves, purslane, cottonwood and other wild vegetables, as well as wheat husks, bran, and even Guanyin soil.

There are always people who cannot accept this change. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!
