"Fart." Gu Xi couldn't help but swear, "The tractor was successfully developed in 57, and it was rebuilt in 58 before it was really used in agricultural production. The capital and the rural areas of Shanghai are still waiting to be used. Our kind Small and remote counties will not be able to apply for another five years."

"But...but..." Second Uncle Li was stupid, seeing his nephew's aura, he was a little scared.

Gu Xidao: "Fortunately, the food can still last until September, and the sweet potatoes will be harvested in mid-September, and we can pick them up."

"That's right, that's the reason, I can take it. Patriotic, the second uncle has something to do, so let's go first." He couldn't resist his nephew's momentum.

Although it is said that the existing food in the village can last until September, the amount of food is really small, and each meal is only two-thirds of the previous one. Many villagers began to ask, but there was no way to ask, and the food was taken away by the state. Now, who dares to make trouble in front of the country?

In mid-August, Gu Xi took two children to pick chestnuts. When they arrived, they saw Li Goudan and Li Maodan standing under the chestnut tree.They followed Gu Xilai to pick chestnuts, knew where the tree was, and knew that the food tasted good.Now the people in Lijia Village can't get enough to eat, so they came up with the idea of ​​chestnuts.

But Gu Xi was kind to them, and they were too embarrassed to pick them, so the two brothers stood under the chestnut tree in a dilemma.Seeing Gu Xi coming, their faces turned red.

"Teacher Li."

"Miss Li, you are here."

Gu Xi smiled: "Want to eat chestnuts?"

"No, the food in the cafeteria is not even [-]% full recently, but only [-]% full. It's okay for us to be hungry, but our parents still have to work, so..."

"Okay, let's pick it together, and we'll share it together." Gu Xi said, "There are three trees here, Goudan and I go up the tree, and Catdan, Little Fatty and Chengtu pick from below."

"Hey." Brother Double Egg smiled contentedly.

Five people took care of the three chestnut trees, and Gu Xi distributed 20 catties to them, and 20 catties was the amount of chestnuts allocated.

"No, no, Mr. Li, we don't want so many." Li Goudan hurriedly refused.

"Take it, if you don't eat, your parents can't go hungry."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

In September, the children went to school, and the sweet potatoes in the village had a bumper harvest. This was probably the most satisfying meal the villagers had in two months.Only steamed sweet potatoes though.

However, everyone had only had enough for a week, and the commune went to the countryside to collect food.

Village head Li said: "Isn't this only accepted at the end of the year? Why are you accepting it now?"

"The country is waiting for food, and the workers don't have enough food, so they have to go to the countryside to collect it." The commune official said, "Hurry up and collect the food."

"But now you take away the grain, what do we ordinary people eat?" Village Chief Li asked, "This year's grain harvest is not good, and there is only this in total. If you take it all away, we will starve to death."

The commune cadre looked at the ledger: "Are you a fraudulent ledger? This year's sweet potato harvest is only two-thirds of last year's? How is it possible? I see you people eating one by one with red faces and bulging stomachs. Fake accounts to deceive me? If you continue to delay our work like this, you have no awareness at all. We will report to the government and tell the country.”

Village Chief Li was discouraged.

"Take the food away."

"The country didn't collect so much grain in previous years. Why do we need so much now?" Someone asked.

"The number of workers has increased, and there are more people who eat the food supply. Naturally, the country will receive more food." Gu Xi replied.

The villagers looked at Gu Xi.

"What Teacher Li said makes sense."

"What Mr. Li said has always made sense."

"It's still you, young man, who is enlightened." The commune cadre praised him.

"But..." Gu Xi continued, "The increased workers are all from the common people. Take the iron and steel factory as an example. Whether they are regular workers or temporary workers, they were all villagers before. They farmed the land to earn work points for food. , Now they are working as workers, and no one grows the land, but they still have to eat, so the grain grown is not enough for them to eat. Why is our grain less than last year, because there are fewer people farming and less labor force gone."

The cadres of the commune took a look at Gu Xi: "What did the young man say? It's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Gu Xi knew that the communes of this era were crazy, and completing the country's tasks crazily was tantamount to squeezing the peasants.But... there was nothing he could do.

The sweet potatoes were taken away, and the original hope of relying on sweet potatoes to fill my stomach fell through.

"Village... Village chief, we have all these sweet potatoes left here, what should we do? The next sorghum will not be harvested until September next year, and the wheat will not be harvested until June next year." A team leader asked.

"How long can these sweet potatoes last?" Village Chief Li asked.

He Mingkuan said: "It's hard to say, it depends on the daily amount, but I have an idea."

"Tell me." Village Chief Li said.

He Mingkuan looked at the group of people, paused his gaze on Gu Xi, and said, "The awareness in our village is not high enough."

"Xiaohe, what do you mean by enlightenment?"

"That's right, we have handed in all the food, why is the consciousness not high enough?"

"Xiaohe, you have to explain."

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm talking about some people." He Mingkuan said, "The first type of people don't work every day, and use the money to buy food in the cafeteria. We can't buy food with the money, so there is nothing wrong with collecting the money." What's the use? Don't work, buy food with money, that's the style of capitalists and landlords, so I think this kind of practice should be abolished now. Everyone gets food through labor, we work hard The food that comes out is bought by others, so what do we eat? This is equivalent to eating our food. What do you think?"

"Yes, Xiaohe, you are right. If you don't work, you won't be given food. It's capitalist style to buy food with money. We don't want this in our village."

"The second category..." He Mingkuan looked at Gu Xi, "It's related to Lijiacun Primary School."

"How does this have anything to do with elementary school?"

"Yeah, what happened to our primary school?"

"That's right, Mr. Li taught well."

"It has nothing to do with elementary school." He Mingkuan said, "It has something to do with Teacher Li, He Kai, and Xia Xiaowen. These three teachers have winter vacation and summer vacation, and they have a total of three months of vacation. But during the three months of vacation, they You don’t have to work, and you can get 3 centimeters of food a day. I don’t think that’s okay. During holidays and rest days, they should work to get food. What do you think? Three people can have 3 catties of food for three months .”

"This..." Everyone was embarrassed to say Gu Xi.After all, Teacher Li is very kind to the village and takes care of the children very well.

"I agree with what you said." Gu Xi said.

He Mingkuan thought he could see Gu Xi's angry face, he was a little proud, but he didn't expect that Gu Xi was the first one to support him.Does Gu Xi have any plan to take revenge on him?

"These 270 catties of grain are distributed to each family, and each household has 3 catties. If we save money, we can eat for two days. In the past, the grain harvest was good, and our teachers also ate the supply grain during the holidays. Now the grain harvest is not good. The holidays The food supply should indeed be cancelled," Gu Xi said.

"Since Teacher Li said so, let's do it this way." He Mingkuan took the opportunity to say.

"no problem."

After everyone dispersed, He Mingkuan called to Gu Xi: "What do you mean? Don't you know that you will have to stop working during the holiday?"

Gu Xi looked at He Mingkuan's nervous look, as if he regarded himself as a big enemy, and smiled: "Although this is the case, we don't get off work during the holidays, so we really shouldn't eat food supplies. And the two things you proposed Classes are also good for the village, so I agree."

"You..." He Mingkuan wanted to say something, but Gu Xi had already left.

When Yang Jie returned home, she was a little confused. What He Mingkuan said just now meant that she would no longer be able to spend money to buy food in the cafeteria.This is how to do?

Looking at the 5 catties of sweet potatoes that Gu Xi just sent in the room, she suddenly felt that she couldn't see the future.

Originally, she ate 4 yuan a month in the cafeteria, and Li Aizhong earned 40 yuan a month. They could be very rich.But what about now?If she doesn't leave work in the future, she will have to cook by herself.

Suddenly, she thought of the land, 10 square meters belonged to them.Yang Jie went out with her son in her arms and saw Gu Xi coming back. She hurriedly said, "Patriotic, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Gu Xi asked.

"Well... I won't be able to eat in the canteen in the village anymore. Your brother pays for meals at the steel factory, so there is no food supply, but there is no food at home, so...the half of the land..."

"Do you want to grow it yourself?" Gu Xi asked,

"Yes, yes, but I don't have any vegetable seeds, so..." Yang Jie hesitated to speak.

"I have seeds here. It's late September now. Vegetables can be planted in September and October, but I only have radish, cabbage and cucumber seeds. Which one do you want?" Gu Xi asked.

"Gherkin?" Yang Jie had never heard of it before, "I want radish." Radish is more filling than cabbage.

"Here." Gu Xi gave him the seeds of the white radish, "The white radish can be harvested in three months. Now it is late September, and you will have a good harvest in late December or early January. Put three or four seeds in one pit, Not every seed will germinate."

"I see, thank you." Yang Jie thought for a while and said, "The hoe at home..."

"There are two at home." Gu Xi said.In the past, Zhang Erniu and Li Aizhong both went to the fields, so there were two at home.

"Hey, good." Although Yang Jie wanted Gu Xi to plant it for her, she knew it was impossible, so she didn't say anything.When she followed Gu Xi to grow vegetables, she asked Li Chengtu to look at the child.

Gu Xi planted small cucumbers. Although it was a bit late, there were a lot of small cucumbers and the growing season was short. He still liked small cucumbers.
