That year and month 34

The autumn harvest is coming, but it is not yet collected. The grain is growing on the ground, so it can be seen that it cannot be eaten. The Construction Corps has transferred some of the grain, saying it is diplomatic assistance. This is a major event for the country. We tighten our belts and all have to support it.

The Chinese people's patriotism is always so simple.

On this day, the company held a meeting and asked a few educated youth to make a review in front of everyone.

It turned out that they were a few new educated youth this year, all of whom were like 14 or 15 years old. They were so hungry that they could not bear it. At night, they secretly dig two nests of sweet potatoes and roasted them to eat. The adults in the company found it.

The company commander then summoned everyone to see what should be done.

It is really rare to say that people's ideological awareness at this time. It is so difficult, every family has coarse grains, but the fine grains in the fields have basically not been stolen. Everyone adheres to such a simple norm.

The crops in this land are first of the country and then collective. In the end, they are their own.

Now, someone suddenly breaks this norm, then, it is not a trivial matter to say.

The roasted sweet potatoes were only half eaten. Now they are placed on the table as evidence of guilt.

Everyone was silent. Just a few children. When they were hungry, they instinctively wanted to find something to eat.

"If you have any opinions, just say it." The instructor looked at everyone and asked.

No one wants to pursue it seriously, but some rules cannot be broken.

"How about this..." The Fourth Master stood up and smiled: "When the autumn harvest comes, I will deduct a portion of the food for them. If they steal a sweet potato, they will deduct ten sweet potatoes. The ten-fold penalty is not small."

The most distributed sweet potatoes every year are very high. The yield is very high. If you deduct ten or twenty, you will not affect anything at all.

Everyone said that the penalty of ten times is enough.

The boys were smart and nodded quickly, "Company Commander, we are willing to accept the punishment."

The company commander and the instructor looked at each other, "Since you have received the punishment, the sweet potatoes on the table are all yours, and you have eaten them."

The children then lowered their heads and wiped their tears and bowed to the people below.

They are not children who don't know anything.

The instructor said, "I know that during this period, our grain cannot be collected. So... Our base is about thirty miles north, and there is a big river beach. There is a piece of wild beans growing there, and there is no head to see. The tender beans are picked and cooked, and the taste is not worse than edamame at all. Before the crops are ripe, you can take the time to pick them there. The picks are all your own."

I buzzed the place below and wanted to go immediately. But, no! There was still work to do in the company. Several people discussed going to go to the evening and came back before dawn. Some people also said that the place was not familiar with, so they had to take some time to go there during the day to see the environment and terrain. They were afraid that there would be some invisible mud nests suddenly. If they stepped on it, they might never get up again.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master are people who follow the big show. You can’t be special. No one else has nothing to eat, so how can you not lack it?

Unexpectedly, God has eyes, and it seems that he really heard everyone’s expectations. It’s raining!

It's so rainy. After it rains, I don't live in the middle. Everyone can finally work hard for their stomachs.

So the next day, amid Bai Xiaomei's shouting, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master went to pick wild beans. They wore rubber shoes on their feet, straw hats on their heads, and plastic cloth on their bodies.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master are relatively luxurious. They have a large plastic cloth. They can dig a hole in the middle and stuff their heads into them, so that they can cover them.

As soon as he went out, he saw Bai Xiaomei carrying a basket on her back, and Lin Yutong's face changed color. "Why are you going?" Lin Yutong looked at her belly that was already pregnant. Maybe she was not full and she was thin, making her stomach look particularly big. "What should I do if my road is slippery when it rains, and I fall down? If I get wet and have a cold, it is difficult to use medicine."

Bai Xiaomei waved her hand, "It's okay! This scholar in our family can't do anything."

Cheng Hao shouted: "If you don't ask her to go, she must go. Please persuade her."

The Fourth Master said to Lin Yutong: "Why do you accompany her at home?"

Before Lin Yutong could speak, Bai Xiaomei waved her hand, "Forget it! Then I won't go. Don't delay you."

"Go back soon. So many people can still watch you and your mother starve to death?" Lin Yutong waved to Hei Ya, who was helping in the clinic, "You accompany your sister Xiaomei, and you are not allowed to leave at all. Don't ask her to go out." As she said that, she touched her two fruit candies.

Hei Ya is already thirteen and is already sensible. She has many brothers, so she doesn’t have to work hard. Now she is just accompanying her, so she immediately agreed.

Bai Xiaomei was helpless, "I won't run around."

Lin Yutong didn't listen to her. When she saw her leaving, she pulled the Fourth Master's arm forward.

Cheng Hao sighed, "What should children do if adults can endure this day?"

The Fourth Master patted him, "Think about it. In this company, the children of all the children have grown up. Everyone will not watch it. We still have some cornmeal in our family. When we go back today, I will take it to you first. The children with a tight belly."

Cheng Hao was not polite either. It was already here, so why are you polite?

I sat in the carriage and walked for more than thirty miles before I saw the so-called wild beans.

Wild beans are also divided into wild soybeans and wild mung beans. The beans of wild soybeans are wide and short, and there are only two or three small beans in a pod. Two or three wild soybeans can match a soybean. But wild mung beans are different. The pods are particularly long and hang down long. Wild mung beans are naturally smaller than mung beans.

In fact, speaking of this is the real green and pollution-free food.

These things can rarely be seen in later generations. They are the memories of elders, and have heard of them.

The wild beans are tender and delicious, but if they are elders, they will be difficult to deal with.

Wild mung beans, also known as "thief beans". If you buy red beans from your own home and have these uncooked beans found in the mung beans, they should be wild mung beans.

In fact, if you grind it hard, you can eat it. Even soak bean sprouts. However, the cycle is just a little longer.

Such a large area is simply a natural treasure house.

Lin Yutong felt that the Fourth Master's eyes were surprised. It was probably the first time he knew that there was such a species.

The two of them were stunned and everyone had already begun. One person occupied one, and no one was snatched from anyone. It was easy to see who was quick.

Lin Yutong also quickly did it, and then went back to deliver it to Bai Xiaomei. If she really gave too much food, she wouldn't dare to ask for it. But no matter how much wild beans were said, they just took some effort. They could afford it, and they wouldn't have any burden in their hearts if they accepted it.

There is a large pocket tied around the waist, and this thing is called "如子" in many places in the north. When picking things, tie it around your waist to free your hands. Then stuff the picked things in. The bag is made of old clothes, or a broken sack can be repaired and slit. A bag can hold something about 40 or 50 kilograms. This thing is hung on the waist, and it is dead.

When the bag is filled, he will carry it to the ground and pour the things inside into the sack. Then the person returns and continues with the empty bag.

The rain in autumn is very cold. Even if the plastic cloth is separated, it is still cold. What's more, the plastic cloth can block the upper body, but the lower body has no choice. The wild beans grow into vines, densely packed, and are wet by the rain. People shuttle through the middle, and their pants have been wrapped around their bodies long ago. Even the plastic cloth on their bodies is scratched and slashed.

After working for most of the day, before nightfall, he put his own victory on the carriage. Then he walked on his legs.

"You are riding on the horse." The Fourth Master said to Lin Yutong.

Everyone couldn't help laughing. The Fourth Master was telling jokes in the future. Not many of the corps can ride horses.

Lin Yutong turned over the horse quickly, which made people stunned. Even if it was a horse pulling a cart, as long as it was comforted, it would be possible to be alone on it.

She and the Fourth Master picked four sacks in total, which were about several hundred kilograms. But there were not many that could be eaten. The beans were too small. However, Uncle Geng must like these bean pods. They were all good ingredients and horses like to eat them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have pulled the horse out so quickly for everyone to use.

I left a sack for my family and gave Bai Xiaomei three sacks. I also gave me more than a dozen kilograms of cornmeal. "Take care about the children first. I have subsidies from my family. I can't be hungry."

Bai Xiaomei touched her stomach, sniffed, and responded with difficulty.

What you eat at night is boiled beans. This thing cannot be stored. You have to eat it on the same day. If it is left, you have to cook it first, peel the beans and dry them in the pot. You can store it for a few more days.

Everything that floats out of every house is filled with the smell of boiled beans.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were no exception. After washing, they started cooking beans. They cooked them with tender bean pods. Lin Yutong put a lot of seasonings in them, salt, pepper, fennel, etc. The taste was very fragrant.

But I can only eat it as a snack. After eating this thing, I feel like my stomach is not full.

After most of them fell asleep, Lin Yutong cooked two more bowls of dragon beard noodles and mixed with beef sauce. Only then did she get full.

She was afraid that she would pick wild beans in the future, but she didn't expect that Wu Chunlai would come and sent two baskets of sweet potatoes.

"This is the fastest thing we have to store on the dry land now. My father said, it's probably a bit tight on your side, so I'll ask for two baskets to respond to the emergency."

It's so great. There's a reason not to pick wild beans.

Lin Yutong was very generous and gave him two fish. They were all weighing one or two pounds, not big, but they were also rare.

Others also made baskets, but few of them could make fragrant baits, but the Fourth Master did. The fragrant baits had to be made of white rice, and they didn't. So, they were lucky. Lin Yutong always had a harvest. She wanted to give Bai Xiaomei some, a pregnant woman who needed nutrition the most. Now, she gave Wu Chun two big ones, and there were still two days left to weigh half a pound, which was enough to make soup for Bai Xiaomei for two days.

In difficult years, it is not easy for anyone to live. But it is just like pulling each other and walking along the way...
