Chapter 290 That Year (19)

That year, month, 19

The kangs on both sides are very big, so it is not a problem to sleep with four or five people. The inside has been cleaned very well, and even the walls are repainted with old newspapers. The pots and pans are ready-made. The chief of staff is an old acquaintance of the two. He brought a lot of radishes and cabbage. This thing is a good dish to improve food in the Corps.

"There are few vegetables grown this year, and I haven't left much. Eating radish and cabbage for a week is a good idea to improve your life." The chief clerk pointed to half a pocket on the other side, "That's half a bag of dried wild vegetables. Soaked in water, you can eat them even if you chop them."

Lin Yutong looked over and looked uneven, and asked, "Do you still have time to dry the dried vegetables?" So many people were having dinner and couldn't rest all day long.

"Where is it for drying?" The chief steward waved his hand, "It was Lao Geng, the horse-raising horse, picked it out of the horse's forage. There is no way, I really have no food to eat."

"What are you eating now?" Lin Yutong frowned, "It's not okay not to eat vegetables."

"Soybeans," said the chief laughing. "Those that are sufficiently exported must be exported. The second-class ones must be entered into the oil press. The second-class ones are those that are flattened. We keep them and crush them, and we have to give them to horses and mules."

"Cook soybeans?" Lin Yutong said in surprise.

"Isn't that great?" The chief steward waved his hand, "Where is Xiaoyin?"

"I'm looking for someone to make some airs, but there's nothing in the medical room in front?" Lin Yutong smiled.

"Then you are busy." The chief clerk stood up, patted his butt and left.

She sighed, "Without vegetables, there is no vitamins. Without vitamins, there will be blindness. At night, they will be like blind people."

Where can I get some vitamin tablets?

The only thing she remembered was her family. But even the pharmaceutical factory had a production task, and in fact she had no say in where the production went.

But even without vitamin tablets, other medicines are fine. This is definitely not possible with Chinese medicine. There are only a few Chinese herbal medicines nearby. There are so many people who rely on collecting herbs and making them by themselves. It’s useless to be exhausted. It turns out that there is a sanitary in this company. I walked to the county hospital. The sanitary staff here only had a medical bag, and if they were trauma, they would apply some red medicine. There are also a few bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretic drugs. There are also several bottles of injections, which are alcohol, and are also quantitative. A needle tube, but there is only one needle. This thing is too unreliable. Infectious diseases, it is too dangerous to use this. It is not as reliable as your own acupuncture.

When the Fourth Master came back, Lin Yutong told her about this, "Do you want me to write a letter and send it home to ask?"

"Then ask." The Fourth Master whispered: "I have already agreed with the company to make up for these foods. When the salary is paid, I will get the money."

"I can finally use the money openly." Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had actually struggled a lot of money during this period, but they didn't dare to use it. They were all excuses sent by their families.

The Fourth Master nodded, "This must be good for Secretary Wu. I heard that some of the villages below are so abominable. In the name of checking letters, they searched everything inside. They wouldn't even think about it. Life was hard."

Lin Yutong handed over the steamed buns, which were steamed from wheat and corn flour. They looked yellow. As long as they didn't come and take a closer look, they would not attract attention.

There are not many people in the company now, and half of them have returned to their hometown to visit relatives. Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master are also busy celebrating the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, I took Yin Wei over and was reunited.

"Aunt Wu asked me to bring sauerkraut, I guess you don't have this." Yin Wei looked around inside and outside, "This place is OK."

She is a person who can't sit still, and she is in a hurry to clean the yard.

"Sister, please leave it." Lin Yutong took two pounds of meat out, "You chop the filling, let's make dumplings in a while."

"It's not easy to eat pork now." Yin Wei talked about her in Inner Mongolia. "We can't say that eating meat every day, and sheep can't be killed just by killing them. But there is no one around. There is no one caring about wild game. It's different from ours. Even if you catch two rabbits in the field, you can't be seen."

"What's wrong? Who happened to the village?" Lin Yutong said while talking.

"Uncle Kang, I took two rabbits and was seen by Shunzi next door. I was exposed at that time. It was said that it was embezzling the collective property. The crops were collective, and everything in the field was collective." Yin Wei shook her head, "The rabbit was confiscated, and she set up two big pots at the entrance of the village, one pot of rabbit, stewed a pot of soup, plus radish, cabbage, and sweet potatoes. Everyone in the village divided half a bowl. Captain Li also left me a rabbit head." He smiled as he said that.

Lin Yutong was also amused. "This Shunzi is a famous lazy man in the village. This is not the first time he has done this."

Yin Wei laughed, "Actually, it's a blessing that Shunzi is so noisy. You probably don't know anything outside in the Corps. Aunt Wu's cousin got a pheasant and sneaked it to the county town and exchanged some fine grains with a clerk at the grain station. As a result, the clerk went home to stew chicken, and the taste spread. The unknown origin was said to be that he accepted bribes from others. This was a serious crime, so how could he dare to admit it? He immediately said that he exchanged his own grain for his family to nourish his mother. This involved Aunt Wu's cousin. One bought and the other went to study class and had to study for half a year. The clerk at the grain station was also unlucky, because of this, I heard that the children in the family should have gone to the grain station to arrange work, but it was also ruined."

Lin Yutong heard something, it was Yin Wei who was worried that the two of them would make some mistakes.

She explained: "That's because you only know one thing but not the other. It's difficult for the small clerk of the grain station to be difficult, but the station manager is not difficult. Take the grain station. Although there are a number of grains collected every year, there are still leaks to drill. For example, the longer the loss. The longer it takes, the water will naturally be lost. In addition, there are mice and water leaks when it rains. This is a loophole. Who has the final say? As long as your loss is reported, and there are people above, he can approve you. So where did this part of the loss go? Who can tell me? People without some power cannot operate this matter. And they are just people who are not afraid of others suing. Of course, others dare not sue. The more they go up, the smarter they are. This is different from the people below who rely on their reckless enthusiasm. No one can be hungry if they eat big heads on the top and small heads on the bottom."

"What do you say about eating a little head?" Yin Wei asked.

"Hi! The grinding machine is also controlled by humans. When the screws are loose, just the leaked grains can be obtained by sweeping them. How can you get two or three kilograms a day? Such fine grains are so popular. If it is replaced with coarse grains, it will be enough for half a month. Otherwise, where do you come from when you are a clerk of the grain station?" Lin Yutong said softly.

"Is there any such thing?" Yin Wei felt that she had gained some knowledge.

"This is all tacit matter. No one dares to say it, and it will make people angry if they say it." Lin Yutong whispered.

"Then how do you know?" Yin Wei asked.

That's because the Fourth Master can see through it at a glance. In the past, no one knew better than the granaries below how much water there was. Every time he recruited food and grass, the number could not be consistent at present. Where did the losses go? He had already studied it thoroughly.

These things are not thoughtful and those who don’t think about them, they just can’t understand them.

Lin Yutong only smiled and said, "Keep confidential."

In the middle of the afternoon, the Fourth Master came back with two three or four kilograms of fish.

"Where did it?" Lin Yutong was a little surprised. Although the fish were frozen into popsicles, they were fresh fish at least.

"The chief officer took his people to the river to dig holes and lay the net. He was lucky, and he had a big net bag. This year's New Year's Eve dinner was settled." The Fourth Master said, and then he went to the stove to burn the fire.

"The people in the fishing industry don't care." Yin Wei asked.

The production in this river is also managed by someone. If the village is near, it will be returned to the village. You cannot cross the boundary. However, the corps are not within the scope of others.

"Those who are patrolling along the river must celebrate the New Year. Didn't this do it secretly while they are away? The entire company's New Year's Eve dinner is pointing at this net." The Fourth Master said, then stuffed firewood under the stove.

Lin Yutong quickly cleaned the fish, "Steamed, the steamed tastes fresh."

"Leave one." Yin Wei said reluctantly, "Aren't you planning to go to the county town to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year? You can take this out."

The target of this New Year greeting is Mr. Xu's guard platoon leader, surnamed Wang, who is over 40 years old. Now he is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee. Although this person holds an unpleasant position, he has done nothing unpleasant. With his identity, he secretly helped many people. Professor Cheng and Teacher Feng are the same. He has been sent to work, but they have not been ruined. He just changed the place and lived a peaceful life.

If he wasn't such a person, Mr. Xu wouldn't have asked the Fourth Master to find him. The last time the two of them visited, they had a good sense of each other. Of course, they had to visit him once during the Chinese New Year.

"Sister is going together, too." The Fourth Master said. "It's not an outsider. Uncle Xu and his father are old."

"Is it suitable?" Yin Wei was a little wild.

"If you really don't go, it's rude." The Fourth Master comforted him, "I will have to live here in the future. If you look up, you won't see you. Let's sit down. Don't worry about the New Year ceremony, I'll have already arranged it."

Yin Wei nodded.
