Rebirth after the 1950s

Chapter 73 Difficulties begin

When my mother came back in the evening, she carried some back.For the other bad ones, my mother plans to cut them raw at night and dry them directly in the sun, so that they can be stored longer.

When we were looking for food in the mountains, we heard that some villages were going to commune members' homes to steal food from their plots in order to hand over food. We were all afraid that the food hidden in our homes would be found, but this did not happen in the military area family home. .

Food for the army was provided in quantity from the beginning, but after seeing the situation in nearby villages, the standard began to be lowered, and the women and children who had no jobs in the family homes were given things to do, which was to go up the mountain to find food, such as What wild vegetables and wild fruits?It must be given to the canteen in sufficient quantity, and the rest belongs to the same family.At the same time, the army also arranged for officers and soldiers to go hunting in the mountains again. Everyone was very excited to see wild boars one by one, but the logistics director ordered to kill two and eat them, and to make the rest into bacon and save it for later eating.

Soon, the steel training was over, but the weather was getting colder and colder. It looked gloomy and it just didn't snow.It was cold and schools were on holiday early, so our two families also picked up a big bunch of firewood early.But even so, we still go into the mountains every day. Recently, there is nothing to eat in the mountains, and even the prey has not come out.

Sister Nan is also a freshman in high school this year. Now she and her eldest brother Shen Dong have to live on campus, and they have to pay for food, and food is now the most expensive.In order not to attract other people's attention, the eldest brother and Sister Nan always bring dry vegetables and pickles to school.

But we are okay, but the food we eat is getting worse and worse than before. In the past, we still had white flour steamed buns and steamed buns, but now we only have vegetable dumplings with a bowl of half-heavy porridge.

However, from 59 to 61, not only the common people, but also the officers and soldiers in the army did not have enough to eat. It was very common for rice to be mixed with sand and noodles to be mixed with leaves, etc.Big-headed dolls can be seen everywhere.

In order not to be suspected, the family hid food. Except for those in high school, everyone at home ate very thin porridge with wild vegetables added in. This was also to avoid being too close to everyone else. , otherwise our two families will eat too much, so let other people rest until they have food at home.

It was in this situation that in the summer of 59, the eldest brother Shen Dong was admitted to the military academy. Fortunately, there was a subsidy for going to college, including free meals, public medical care, free study fees, and uniform distribution of military uniforms to all students, including admission. The amount of monthly allowances will be determined based on the length of military service.[-]. Travel preferential treatment Military school students will be reimbursed by the school for one fare when they leave school and go home during the winter and summer vacations, and they can enjoy the same rights as those with military certificates when taking transportation.[-]. Cadets who graduate from military schools can be assigned a military rank based on their school performance. Those who graduate from a bachelor's degree are assigned a deputy company rank and can be awarded the rank of lieutenant, while those who graduate from a junior college are assigned a full rank and are awarded the rank of second lieutenant. However, for those with outstanding performance, Those who are qualified can be awarded the rank of lieutenant.[-]. Job Distribution: "After graduation, trainees from military academies will be uniformly assigned by the military. Some will serve as active-duty officers in grassroots units, some will serve as civilians in the military, and some will be assigned to colleges, scientific research and other units to engage in medical, Scientific research, teaching and other work.

When the women in the family home of the military military region heard that there were so many benefits to attending a military academy, everyone was jealous. Some wanted to introduce a partner to their eldest brother Shen Dong, so Aunt Zhou responded with a sentence, saying: "Why are you so old this year?" , you are not yet an adult, and you are planning to introduce a partner to my son. How can you be so safe? You want my son to make mistakes, right? Besides, my son is now a college student, so in the future he will have to be as tall as he is to find a partner. You have to have an academic degree, but as for other aspects, you have to be able to make it through. As for you, I know that your family may not have a relative who is in high school. Who do you recommend and who do you criticize?"

"You, you, you, I am happy to introduce your son to a partner. You still dislike me for criticizing you. Think of me as meddling in other people's business. I want to see what kind of partner your son can find." Wang Xiu'e said yes.

"Who doesn't know that you, Wang Xiu'e, have always been unprofitable? You think that because I don't hang out in the family area, I don't know who you are and what you have done?"

"You, you, you" Wang Xiu'e never thought that Zhou Tao, who never appeared in the family area except for work, actually knew everything. The key was that she had never been friends with anyone except Liu Linjuan. The two of them are busy going to work every day.Oh my god, who is this? Who has such great ability? Wang Xiu'e didn't care about quarreling with Zhou Tao and hurriedly went to find out the news.

In 58, when the Great Leap Forward began, when the "People's Commune" was established in the family, three of the chickens were left to eat. By the time of the Chinese New Year in 59, there was still one left, but after the beginning of spring, there was still no rain. By the time, the last chicken was eaten.

Except when my mother is not at home when she is on night shift in the hospital, she always eats in the hospital at noon.Since the Chinese New Year in 58, I have been cooking the meals at home, and the scope of control has become larger. For example, when making porridge in the morning, I will take some of the space and mix it into the pot to steam the steamed buns. Or when making other pasta, I will secretly beat a few eggs, put a few handfuls of white flour in it, and eat it with it.Even in these three most sleepy years, I would secretly take out the dried vegetables in the space and put them in the porridge.There is no other way. As long as it is available at home, I will mix it with it.

Before my eldest brother went to the military academy, we went to the place where we found yams. Fortunately, no one else discovered them, so we dug them back home secretly.This time I did not dry the yams, but directly dried them in the yard. I was not afraid of others seeing it, because there was no one in the family area at this time. Anyone who could walk went to the nearby mountains to find food.

After drying, they were placed directly in the cellar. No one dared to rummage through the house. The army was very strict about this, and there were patrols, so they were not afraid.The leaders all know that everyone is suffering. As long as they pay enough for the restaurant and take the rest home, it is their own business to provide for their children.I heard my father and Uncle Shen talk about how expensive food is on the black market outside now. It can be said that even if you have money, you can't buy it.As for me, when I heard the news, I thought about drying raw sweet potatoes in the air, and then started to spend two hours every night grinding them into powder with a stone mill.I will sell it in two days when I can go to the city to attend high school.Even if I want to go now, it's impossible. I heard it's very chaotic outside, so I might as well forget it.

Since 57, sweet potatoes have been grown on space land.
