"Is breakfast ready?" Qu Mengmeng said in astonishment.
Only now did he realize that half an hour had passed while he was deep in thought.
The Production Team broadcast also began to ring. On the broadcast, it once again called for everyone to work hard and steal seeds.
"I... I'm almost done! " Qu Mengmeng stood up and anxiously said.
"That... Comrade Qu, you don't have much food left at my place, I have a look. Even if you want to drink congee, it will only last two days. " Liu Han said somewhat embarrassedly.
Qu Mengmeng's image outside was softer and more kind.
Initially, in order to show her innocence, she had also directly handed over the rations that she had distributed to Liu Han and had Liu Han take the portion that she needed to help her cook and wash her clothes. For the remaining, she gave Qu Mengmeng three meals a day.
Qu Mengmeng only cared about eating, and never cared about the loss of food, unknowingly, she had reached the end of food.
"So fast? "Only at the beginning of this month …"
"Yeah, you only gave me ten catties of flour at the beginning of this month, but you and Comrade Su Xinghua mentioned that you wanted to eat hand-rolled noodles two days ago. Since Su Xinghua is a Male Comrade, he ate one catty of flour in one meal. "And Zhang Zhiqing, he also ate the noodle soup twice. You even ate dumplings with vegetable stuffing, and the flour was used up just like that!"
Although Liu Han did not say it, in her heart, she felt that Qu Mengmeng was a waste.
10 Jin of fine flour. Although it was not a high quality flour, if he secretly brought it to the black market, he could still trade it for 30 Jin of good quality grains.
He was able to survive for at least one and a half months without eating too much. It was not like the current situation where there was no rice to be cooked before the food was distributed.
Qu Mengmeng's face flushed red, and she did not say anything for a long time.
"I... I'll think of another way! " Qu Mengmeng said.
"Comrade Qu, how about … Why don't you cook for yourself in the future! You can also wash your clothes. You make these yourself, and each day, you will be able to leave behind one or two grams of grains.
The amount that Liu Han had on hand should be enough for him to gather all the food she needed before splitting the food.
After the food was divided, she would have something to eat and could send some back to her family.
Liu Han completely had good intentions, but in Qu Mengmeng's eyes, it was as if he was saying that she had no food and couldn't afford to hire her to work.
Just then, Su Xinghua walked pass them. Seeing the situation, he immediately came in.
"What's going on? Dream... Comrade Qu, what are you crying for? " Su Xinghua asked in concern.
Some people were concerned about him, causing Qu Mengmeng to cry even harder.
Su Xinghua's questioning gaze fell on Liu Han, who also had a face full of grievance: I didn't say anything, I was just saying that the food that she left at my place was insufficient!
"Food? What kind of food? " Su Xinghua asked.
Only then did Liu Han give Qu Mengmeng food so that she could help him with cooking and the matter of washing clothes.
Su Xinghua opened his mouth, "Comrade Liu, continue to help Comrade Qu cook and wash clothes. I will think of a way to obtain Comrade Qu's food!"
"Ah?" This... "This …" Liu Han's face was filled with shock, but she was unable to say anything.
Qu Mengmeng also raised her head, her teary eyes looking at Su Xinghua, "Comrade Su, I can do it myself, I can cook and do the laundry myself!"
Su Xinghua comforted and laughed, "It's fine, only I know that a few young people know about it. Although you are not a young man, you are still born and bred in the city, and you are not any different from others!"
Su Xinghua's words comforted Qu Mengmeng, and, who was at the side. Hearing his words, he felt like something was stuck in his throat.
The feeling of being unable to swallow or vomit.
He just felt uncomfortable.
After Su Xinghua comforted Qu Mengmeng, the first person that came to his mind was Zhao Xiangyun.
At this time, if one were to say that they had spare food, it would be only the Family.
People from the Production Team all said that Captain's wife Chen Wuyue had a lot of tickets. In this era, it would be easy to get food if there was a ticket and money.
Adding Zhao Zhiyuan's identity to that, there was no reason for him to be hungry.
Just that, borrowing the food from Zhao Zhiyuan was a little troublesome.
They couldn't lend it to him, and in the end, they still borrowed the Production Team. If they didn't return the food they borrowed from the Production Team, that would mean they were loaning it to him, and they would have to call him out when the Production Team divided the food.
Su Xinghua could not stand such a shameful thing.
Zhao Xiangyun was different. Every time he asked for food, Zhao Xiangyun would get him food.
But when Su Xinghua suddenly thought of the two eggs, he rejected his without hesitation. This time …
"It won't, she won't …"
Su Xinghua murmured some words of consolation.
He told himself that it was definitely because Zhao Xiangyun was still angry and that if he continued to coax her, she would definitely obediently give him the food like she did in the past.
After eating breakfast, Zhao Xiangyun felt that she had survived.
In the morning, she drank a big bowl of coarse grain green vegetable porridge and licked all the bowls clean.
The others were of the same mind, and they didn't waste a single mouthful.
Putting down the bowl, Zhao Xiangyun looked at Chen Wuyue who was packing up, "Mom, I want to go to the county."
"What?" Where are you going? " Chen Wuyue was dumbstruck, as if she did not hear it clearly. She looked at Zhao Xiangyun and asked, "Say it again?"
"Mom, I want to go to the county for a stroll. I want to buy some cloth and see if there's anything good to eat. I'll give you a toothpick at home!" Zhao Xiangyun said.
"Xiangyun, just you alone? "What should I do? Mom said that in a few days, your two brothers will finish their work and Mom will ask them to bring you there. It's not like any of you have ever been to a county before. What will happen if you lose them?"
Zhao Xiangyun didn't want her own daughter to go to the county city by herself at all.
If she lost it, where would she find a daughter?
"Mom, I'm not a three year old child, so why can't I go to the county? Besides, brothers are brothers, I don't want to go shopping with them! "
Zhao Xiangyun said.
"Xiangyun …"
"Mom, just let me go. I promise I won't lose it! Besides, I really want to go to the county town. "Mom …"
Zhao Xiangyun was soft and forced, she hugged Chen Wuyue's arm, acting coquettishly and shamelessly.
Chen Wuyue could not refuse and finally let go.
"Xiangyun, if you lose it, remember where our home is? Remember your dad, my name? "
Chen Wuyue said those words one after another, as if she was truly afraid that Zhao Xiangyun would lose herself in the process.
Zhao Xiangyun finally understood how the original owner's failed life came about.
Going to a county or city would cause him no fear of losing anything. Taking a knife would cause him no fear of hacking his own feet. Whatever it was, it was all someone else's fault. The original owner was right.
Of course, putting all that aside, this top-grade mother was truly wholehearted towards the original owner. It was just that her method was wrong.
"Mom, I've remembered everything! Rest assured, I will definitely not lose it! " Zhao Xiangyun promised solemnly, and then, Chen Wuyue relaxed.
