I was reborn and returned to the age of three and a half. Did my mother also have a heart transplant

Pei Guohua was worried that she was being targeted, so he didn't even let her go home for dinner.

"Okay, got it. I won't go to your place for dinner. Don't ask Aunt Pang or Sister-in-law to send you food. It's not like there's no one cooking at my house. Besides, brother, have you forgotten that Uncle Jiang will wake up at night, and Old Zhou will wake up too. They are now the housekeepers of our family. If you only send food to me and Niuniu, they will also need to eat. Don't they have to cook at home? In that case, why bother? I still need food, so just ask Pei Guoping to cook."

When Pei Guohua heard this, he thought that it made sense. He couldn't let Mr. Zhou and Teacher Zhou not eat either.

If he asked them to go to his house for dinner together, Pei Guohua thought of Zhou Shuaishuai's outspokenness and that Zhou Dachao was also here to treat a terminal illness. He was afraid that Jiang Zhenguo's colleagues would discover Zhou Dachao's health problems, so it would be better for the two of them not to show up.

"Okay, brother, you look so sad. They will all leave tomorrow, and our village will be quiet again. You and the village chief will have to work hard tonight."

"Sister, you're right. Well, I'll go back now."

"Go back. By the way, if you don't have enough meat and vegetables, just go and tell them to get you some fresh game from the mountains."

Mo Yan didn't need to tell Pei Guohua who they were.

He immediately shook his head, "No, no, we have plenty of food at home. The New Year is coming soon. Every family in our village has prepared a lot of food. Who doesn't have enough smoked meat and smoked sausage? It's definitely enough. It's winter, and the animals in the mountains need a chance to recuperate. Otherwise, it would be a sin if they don't have babies next spring."

Mo Yan wanted to say that it was not necessary. How much meat could the people of Peijia Village eat?

But since Pei Guohua said so, she did not refute. After all, before she came, the hunters and villagers who lived off the mountains all knew the rule that they could not kill all the animals.

It is a very simple concept of endless life.

They don't understand any profound principles, but they know that if they fish too much, they won't be able to catch any fish next year.

When it is time to give animals time to rest and actively reproduce, hunters should go into the mountains less often.

Mo Yan nodded.

Not long after Pei Guohua left Mo Yan's house, Qin Hong, along with Chen Xiaodong, Xie Huaimin and others who were unwilling to stay in the room, walked out of the guesthouse again.

Everyone looked tired, but they refused to rest in the room.

Everyone said that they had slept all day, so what should they do at night? Instead of sleeping, they should visit Peijia Village, which does not look like a village.

The first stop is to go to school.

After all, they had heard the bell for the start and end of classes earlier.

Qin Hong also thought it would be a good idea to take them to school. After all, there were more shocking things in this village than school.

Might as well just go to school.

Of course he wasn't stupid enough to take them to a daycare center for baby animals.

Instead, he went to the primary school in Peijia Village.

Before entering the school gate, I saw the red flag flying high above the gate.

Then the sound of reading aloud was heard on campus.

Xie Huaimin and others looked at the red flag and listened to the sound of reading. For a moment, everyone showed a gratified smile on their face.

Such a remote mountain village actually has its own school for the children, with the sound of reading aloud and the vast universe. Their predecessors fought bloody battles and were not afraid of sacrifice. Wasn’t it just to ensure that the children of this country would have books to read and the people would have food to eat and clothes to wear?

If all the villages in China could be like Peijia Village, then the blood shed and the lives sacrificed by our ancestors would all be worth it.

"Why don't we just not go in? The children are in class. If a group of us go in, even if we walk past the window, it will disturb the children's class. How about we wait until they are done with get out of class before going in to take a look?"

Ding Shengli hesitated and didn't step into the school gate.

Others had the same idea after hearing this.

"Yes, there are many places to see nearby. I saw several large houses that are almost as big as the school. What are they? Secretary Qin, can we go over and take a look?"

"You can watch it, but——"

Qin Hong hesitated, "Not far away is the kindergarten, and it's probably in class right now. The other big house you mentioned, the one in front is the cafeteria, the villagers who work in the village and don't want to cook at home, the villagers who come to Peijia Village to work, and the secretaries who come to Peijia Village for business or short vacations can all eat in the cafeteria. If you have food coupons and money, you can eat. If you don't have food coupons, you can just pay money. The price is the same."

"It's lunch time. The guesthouse doesn't provide lunch, so we need to go to the cafeteria. Now that we're here, I think I can take a few secretaries to the cafeteria to have a look."

"Wow, it's called a canteen, but it's no different from a normal state-owned restaurant. The village canteen doesn't even serve meals in a big pot, and the villagers have to pay for food stamps to eat. This is very strange. Don't any villagers have any objections?"

You should know that during the period of large-scale construction, a nationwide steel-making campaign was launched, and the cooking pots in some people's homes were taken away and used to make steel.

This resulted in everyone having to eat from the same pot.

This period can be long or short, and in some places it lasted for three years.

After three years, the people have become lazy. Not much work has been done, but a lot of lazy people have been created. Not much steel has been produced, but all the food has been produced.

Almost everyone starved to death.

Finally, we have to admit that the big pot dining format is inappropriate, especially it is unfair to those who work seriously. Those who slack off and those who work hard have the same result, and those who slack off even eat more. Over time, this will be a big blow to those who work hard.

I thought, since lazy people can also eat, why should they work so hard?

Therefore, there are almost no large canteens across the country now.

However, Peijia Village did the exact opposite. They built such a large canteen. Even if everyone in the village came to eat, it could accommodate them, right?

But the villagers cannot just bring their bowls and eat for free; they need to pay money and tickets.

It’s true that this model really surprised the secretaries from other provinces.

The model is not difficult and anyone can copy it. What is difficult is how Peijia Village managed to prevent the villagers from having any emotional backlash?

Especially since everyone had come from the era of free meals from the same big pot, how did Peijia Village make them willingly accept payment after having experienced free things?
