In fact, Shen Yulin and Shen Yuxiu didn't have much homework. As long as they calmed down, they finished it in a short while. When they went out to play, Shen Yulin suddenly felt a little puzzled.

This homework doesn't seem to be that difficult. Why did my eldest brother always get beaten for not finishing his homework?

No one answered Shen Yulin's doubts. When Grandma Fang saw that the two of them were going out to play, she quickly told them not to run too far. After all, they were eating in the cafeteria now. Dinner would be served in the cafeteria when people got off work. There would be no one there if they missed the meal.

Leave food for them.

But the two children were obedient and did not run far away. The three adults and two other children who were working did not show up until the team finished work and the canteen was about to open.

Grandma Fang and her three children waited and waited, until it was almost dark and each family started to walk to the cafeteria. Only then did they finally see the three adults coming back with the two children, and the three adults were still wearing their own clothes.

Carrying a bundle of things.

"What are they carrying? Why did you come back?" It was already dark, and Grandma Fang couldn't see clearly what they were carrying, but she still hurried forward to help them.

"Cotton locust strips." Fang Youshun asked her to put the things on her back aside, and then hurried to help her daughter and son-in-law. After they put down all the cotton locust strips, she immediately urged a few people: "Hurry up and wash your hands.

Go eat first, otherwise there won’t be anything to eat if it’s late.”

"Hey." Shen Jinggui agreed, and he and Fang Yan hurriedly washed their hands with the two children, and then headed to the cafeteria with the whole family.

It wasn't until she returned home after dinner and lit the kerosene lamp that Grandma Fang bothered to ask Fang Youshun: "Are you tired after a day's work? Why go and get so many cotton locust slivers?"

"I don't want to make some baskets and sell them when I have free time." Fang Youshun said a little tiredly while slipping on the kang.

In fact, the commune stipulates that people aged forty-five and above are considered elderly and do not have to work, but he always feels that being idle at home is not a problem, so he goes to work every day, and at least he can earn some work points to support his family.

no.

"Now we all eat in the canteen, you have an allowance, and our family doesn't lack anything. Why are you working so hard?" Grandma Fang said with a look of disapproval.

"This canteen, you may not be able to eat for a few days." Fang Youshun snorted lightly, a bit mockingly.

"What do you mean?" Grandma Fang was startled when she heard this.

"You don't know, our brigade is better. Now some brigade's grain is almost falling into the ground and they don't collect it." Fang Youshun sighed quietly as he spoke. Seeing that Grandma Fang looked confused, he continued.

Said: "Don't you think about it, if they don't collect the grain, what will they eat and drink in the future after they finish eating the current grain storage?"

"Then... why don't they collect food?" Grandma Fang was a little confused.

"Why? You don't want to work. Don't we all eat in the canteen now? If there is nothing to eat in our own canteen, we can go to the canteens of other teams and other brigades to eat. Otherwise, the superiors can't watch them starve to death?" Fang Youshun

I feel a little angry when I talk about this.

In fact, not only other brigades, but even our brigades and some small teams no longer want to work. Who wants to work hard to collect food and feed it to those who do nothing? It is not stupid.

Grandma Fang was stunned. Since she started eating from a big pot, she has been taking care of her children at home. She really doesn't know what has happened outside recently.

But after spending her whole life digging for food in the fields, Grandma Fang recognized one truth: if you have food in your hands, don’t panic. How can you do nothing but rely on others?

Seeing that Grandma Fang was a little stupid, Fang Youshun explained: "Actually, not everyone in the brigade doesn't want to do it. There are also people who are worried about the food and want to collect it, but the squad leader and the brigade captain don't say anything. If they go to collect it privately, then...

Anyone who steals collective property will be arrested and beaten by everyone. Who dares to take it away after this?"

Grandma Fang was even more stupid when she heard this: "What's wrong with them? If they don't collect grain themselves, why don't they let others collect it?"

"No." Fang Youshun was very angry when he talked about this: "Don't look at our squad that is still working to collect food. It's our son-in-law and our squad leader who have joined forces with a few good friends to suppress them.

There are still people here who work as foreigners and don’t work. They don’t think about it. In the past, when they worked hard, they might not be able to have enough to eat all year round. Now that everyone is not working, they will drink from the northwest wind."

Grandma Fang sighed and didn't know what to say.

"So, I just want to go back to my old job, get some cotton locust slivers, and get some sorghum stalks after harvesting in autumn. In winter, when I have nothing to do, I will weave some baskets, mats and other things to sell at the market, and then replenish them.

Let's secretly buy some food and store it at home. If we run out of food one day, we won't be blinded." Fang Youshun said his plan slowly.

"But...but isn't the team not allowed to open fire at home?" Grandma Fang was a little worried.

"I'm not afraid of not being allowed to fire, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat when the fire is fired. It's not like we haven't escaped from trouble. Do we still care about that when we are hungry? After all, it is better to have more plans than no plans at all." Fang Youshun

A look of helplessness.

Grandma Fang also nodded in agreement.

Yes, you don’t even have to eat, so what’s the use of just not being allowed to fire? After all, it’s better to be prepared than not.

"Okay, let's go to sleep first. That's what I said. This is all a matter of disappearing. Maybe it won't reach that point." Fang Youshun said and was about to lie down when he saw Shen Yuxiu opening a pair of round eyes.

His eyes looked at the two of them curiously, obviously he had been listening to their conversation just now.

Fang Youshun's heart skipped a beat. What he wanted to do must not be known to anyone. He couldn't help but quickly frightened Shen Yuxiu: "Xiaoxiu, what I said to your grandma tonight must not be told to anyone.

If you tell anyone, grandpa will be arrested."

Shen Yuxiu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she covered her mouth with her little hands: "Don't tell me, not to anyone, not even my parents."

Although she knew little about the conversation between the two old men just now, she could tell that her grandfather didn't want to go hungry. She naturally knew that being hungry was not a good thing, and she didn't want to go hungry, and she didn't want her grandfather to be caught.

"Good boy, just remember. Go to sleep. We have to go to school tomorrow." Seeing her like this, Grandma Fang was afraid that she would be frightened, so she quickly coaxed her to sleep quickly.

Shen Yuxiu lay down obediently, but in her heart she complained about those people who wanted to eat without working.

Why don't they work? Why do they have to eat other people's food? Why do they want her to starve too?

Fang Youshun wanted to save food, so he naturally had a relationship with Shen Jinggui. After all, he had just arrived this year and didn't know much about this place yet, but Shen Jinggui had lived here for decades, and was almost dozens of miles around. There was a bird somewhere.

He knew exactly where the nests were, and where to buy food, of course he knew it very well.

Of course, grain storage cannot be done openly. The two of them still went to work during the day. In the middle of the night, the two men dug a pit in the unused warehouse of Fang Youshun's family. After digging, the two of them took the rice vat that was now idle at home.

Put it in the pit, and when the purchased rice arrives, put it all into the rice jar, then seal the mouth with oil paper, then sprinkle the leftover lime from the house on the mouth of the rice jar, then sprinkle soil on the lime and stamp it firmly with your feet.

After everything was completed, the warehouse looked idle no matter who came in. No one would have thought that there was still food buried under the ground.
