Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

For this reason and because of this incident, I specifically talked about this topic with Guo Huaian, and now I heard him saying it.

“It’s nothing, and you don’t need to worry too much about it.

You have to know that, not to mention that our family had just settled in Huangzhuang Brigade, even if you counted the population of the brigade, everyone in the brigade knew how much grain our family had been allocated.

The amount of food we were allocated was not the least among the families in the team, but it was pitifully little at the very least. If they wanted to borrow food from us, they would be thinking too highly of us!

At the same time, everyone knows that you are the only one in our family who works in the fields seriously. If they want to borrow food from us, they must have extra food.

Having said that, our family has enough food to feed ourselves, and we don’t have to borrow food from the team and fellow villagers. We should be thankful for that. How can we have extra food to help others?

If someone from their family really comes to your house to borrow food, you can just ask them directly and borrow the food from them.

Anyway, it's reasonable for our family to borrow food from anyone.

By then, even if the team members know about it, they won’t say a word against our family.

After all, whether in the team or in front of other fellow villagers, it is reasonable for our family to borrow food, because everyone knows our family's situation!

Don’t underestimate me. I get a little salary every month, which is enough to buy food for the team.

But after all, that was barely enough for our family to eat, so where would we get any extra food to lend to them?

If they come to our house to borrow money, we don't have it. Everyone knows that our three children are all in school.

Just on this point, the pressure in our family is greater than that in theirs.

Besides, our family can't be compared with theirs. After all, their children are older than ours.

No matter what, it was not difficult for their family to earn work points and food.

In other words, no matter from which aspect, our family is at a disadvantage compared to theirs."

"Don't say that. Think carefully about what you said. It does make sense."

"That's right, and this is what I think!

Even if their family really has no food to eat, the brigade will not just sit there and do nothing. Instead, they will let them buy food on credit from the team. It is impossible for them to starve to death."

"You mean, the team is willing to let their family buy food on credit?"

"That's right, but in this way, when distributing grain every year, the portion of grain on credit will be deducted in advance. How much is left will be distributed to them?"

"If that's the case, judging by the performance of their family, I'm afraid they won't have many work points left?

In other words, the few work points they have may not even be enough to deduct?"

"That's true. The only thing left is food for the people. If you don't want to buy food on credit, you can buy food directly from the team like we did."

"That's true, but if this happens, others might use their money to buy food. Do they look like a wealthy family?"

"By the way, their family really doesn't look alike at all."

"Then we can only buy food on credit."

“That’s right, but it seems that their family is just like the other deadbeats in the team.

The only difference is that those deadbeats really have no other choice because there are too many people in their families and they cannot earn that much food.

And their family is just lazy, otherwise they would never lack food."

"That's absolutely true, but only their family doesn't think so."

"I'm just lazy and don't know it."

"How could he not know? He just refused to admit it!"

"It's really possible."

Not only their families know, but everyone understands it, but in the current situation, it is more practical to take care of yourself first.

As for other families in the team, several families took the opportunity to split up and start a new life because of the uneven distribution of food after it was distributed by their elders.

Fortunately, it wasn't as serious as what happened to Huang Sizhu's family.

In fact, at this time, the elderly in the team still hope that their children at home can consider family affection and not make things too ugly.

But sometimes it just doesn't happen like this. For some people, all they can do is support the elderly and worry about other things later.

As for those elderly people who have separated their children early on and live on their own, they don’t need to worry about these things. After all, everyone has different ideas.

However, some people are also worried about when their children are getting older and it is time to get married.

You have to know that in this era, whether it is a place to live or the bride price needed to get married, it is a considerable expense for the country people.

Even though the gift is really not much, after all, not everyone can give it without hesitation.

After the grain was distributed, some families would secretly carry the grain into the city and exchange it for money or some useful things on the black market.

And at this time, even if he had it in his space, he didn't dare to take it out.

Not to mention that he had just arrived in Huangzhuang not long ago, even if Guo Huaian didn't know exactly what was in his house, he had a rough idea, so he thought about it and decided to just forget it.

Another reason is that even though I am in the countryside now, I am not short of money, so there is no need to take risks for a few small things.

There was no need to take risks in the city before, and there is no need to do so now. Moreover, the current situation is getting closer and closer to that time, so forget it. Self-protection is more important than anything else.

As for the other members of the team, if they dared to take the risk of entering the city at this time, wasn't it because they really had no other choice?

If there was any other way, I wouldn't do this.

Even though the people in the team are not rich, don't forget that every household received so many sweet potatoes, and they also planted them in their own private plots.

Sweet potatoes may not be very noticeable if you are not in the team, but in the city, not everyone can eat as much as they want.

You have to know that there are poor families in the city, families with many children, and families who want to have enough food to eat.

Now that the grain is coming in, shouldn’t we find a way to have extra food at home?

What was unexpected was that this seemingly casual thing was actually discovered by one’s own child.

I don’t know who is so careless?

Fortunately, the children at home don’t know who the other party is, nor do they know what the other party is going to do.

But just because you don’t understand, you ask at home?

"Dad, Mom, I just saw someone from the team carrying something and walking out of the team. What was he going out for so late at night?
