Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

And I can earn 6-8 work points a day, so when the food is divided equally, there shouldn't be too much left.

Speaking of Huangzhuang Brigade, it cannot compare with other brigades, so the work points are relatively less, about 5 to 9 cents. It is different every year, and the exact amount will be known only at the end of the year settlement.

For various reasons, many families not only did not receive any dividends, but also owed money to the team. I only found out about this after hearing Mrs. Huang talk about it privately.

But no matter what, I hope that my family will not have to pay for the team's expenses. As for the regulation from above that each household can only raise two pigs, as soon as I heard that I could raise pigs, I started raising pigs immediately.

The happiest people about this are the children in the family. After all, being able to put their talents to good use is also an encouragement for them.

"Mom, we'll be responsible for cutting grass for the pigs, okay?"

“Not only can you do that, but this is also your job.

Not only do we have to cut grass for the pigs, but we are also responsible for collecting firewood. Our family has relatively few people.

But you should also know that a lot of firewood is used in winter. After all, it is used to heat the kang. If the kang is not warm, what if you get sick from the cold?

As you know, Dad has to go to school to substitute teach, and Mom has to work in the fields. Many things at home will no longer be like before, where we have to wait for Mom and Dad to come back to do everything.

And now that you three have grown up, it's time for you to do things for the family.

This is exactly what mom wanted to tell you, your older brother and younger brother are boys, so they are responsible for cutting grass for the pigs, and your younger sister is a girl, so she is responsible for digging wild vegetables.

In your spare time, the three of you will be responsible for collecting firewood together.

As for the clothes, leave them for mom to wash after she gets home from work. Don’t go to the river alone.

If you want to learn fishing, you have to wait until mom and dad have time.

You can’t spread the word about fishing just because your parents taught you how to fish, understand?”

"Got it, Mom, we won't be stupid enough to tell anyone anything."

"That's right. Fishing requires not only skills, but also the individual's own ability."

"Besides that, if you have nothing else to do, dig up some earthworms while you're playing. They help chickens lay eggs more easily."

"really?

Mother. "

"Can I still lie to you about this?"

"No."

"Since that's not possible, how about you take care of the five hens at home?"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"That's good. Whether we can eat the eggs laid by our chickens as soon as possible depends on you."

"Okay, we'll make sure the chickens lay eggs a day earlier, so we don't have to buy them privately anymore."

"That's right, how much does an egg cost?"

"No."

Even though we currently have five chickens at home, since we came to the countryside, some of the eggs we eat at home are bought privately from fellow villagers, and some are taken from the space. Otherwise, the money for eggs alone would have been quite a lot.

Fortunately, when I buy chickens, I always buy half-grown chickens, not only for the meat, but more for laying eggs.

Even though there are quite a few eggs in my space, how can I take them out without an excuse?

Isn't it just thinking that while there is nothing left now? If I can raise one more, I can pickle the extra eggs myself, and I will always have an excuse to take them out of the space.

I'm afraid I can only keep it for one year. By this time next year, it may not be allowed. If I keep more than that, it will be regarded as the tail of capitalism and cut off.

In addition, this chicken has another nickname, which is chicken butt bank. You should know that many families rely on these chickens.

For daily expenses, such as needles and thread, children's tuition, salt and kerosene for the family, and medical medicine, they had to rely on the eggs laid by a few chickens and sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives for money.

Although we don’t need to do this at home, do others need it?

Moreover, eggs are the most nutritious thing at this time, and people in the countryside are reluctant to eat them.

That is to say, I never care about it, otherwise why would I buy eggs?

Although my family doesn't care about it, they will still remind their three children about this matter and emphasize it again and again.

"Now we don't live in the city, but in the countryside, so I still have to give you a few more instructions.

You three must listen carefully and keep it in mind, otherwise whoever causes the trouble will have to solve it himself, understand?"

"Mom, you said we will definitely remember it."

"That's right, Mom. No matter what happens, we will keep it in mind."

"That's right. When have we ever been disobedient?"

"I know you are all obedient children, but I still have to say a few more words.

Even though mom has told you this before, the current situation is different from before, so I still need to say a few more words. "

"Mom, you say."

"Yes, you say, and we'll listen."

"Yes, we must keep it in mind."

"Okay, then listen carefully. From now on, no matter what we eat at home, even eggs or steamed buns, you are not allowed to take them out to eat.

You must not eat in front of others unless it is absolutely necessary."

"What would be considered a last resort?"

"Yes?

Mom, there will always be special circumstances, right? "

"There are indeed special circumstances, and even in special circumstances, we can only take out the worst food at home. Nutritious food like eggs can only be eaten at home.

Or maybe someone suddenly comes to your house. In this case, you will eat whatever your mother cooks?

It’s impossible to be picky about food, and you can’t say what you want to eat in front of outsiders?

It’s not that mom is reluctant to give it to you, but mom is afraid that others will find out.

Even if it is the most inconspicuous steamed bun, if others are jealous and want it, should we give it to them or not?

If we don't give it to others, they will think we are cruel. If we give it to them, the little food we have at home may not be enough, and the whole family may starve.

Besides, mom raises chickens at home for you. I thought you are still young and eating eggs can increase nutrition and help you have a good body.

Unlike many families in the team, who raise chickens to exchange for money at the supply and marketing cooperative, to buy salt, or matches?

Don't I need to say anything more?

You may not understand what kind of life the kids in the team live, but don’t forget, when we were in the city, even the Qin family upstairs would make a fuss even over someone getting to eat one more bite of an egg.

This kind of thing happens in the countryside, I guess you have heard about it, right? "

"We heard about it. Do we know whose family it is?"
