Chapter 130 Borrowing Food
Grandpa Li splits bamboo strips quickly and thinly, and the hatchet cuts on the bamboo, making it invincible all the way, with a crisp sound that sounds nice.
After watching for a while, Li Xiaoyu felt that there was nothing to see and said to Grandpa Li: "Grandpa, I'm going to the field to find my second brother."
"Go!" Grandpa Li replied to her without raising his head, and the movements in his hand did not change at all.
The work I did today was the same as yesterday, weeding and fertilizing. Li Xiaoyu only found Li Ma, eldest sister, third brother, who were weeding in the field, and asked Li Ma before she found out that the second brother was going to pick up fat.
When he heard about picking fat, Li Xiaoyu didn't dare to go to find her second brother, so he should stay away! That smell really doesn't smell good.
She was looking for wild vegetables to eat in the field. Li Mo and the others also collected wild vegetables when pulling grass. Now, except for the team who can order vegetables when they are divided, they can only focus on wild vegetables. Children at home are the main force in collecting wild vegetables. When pulling grass, adults will collect wild vegetables together and take them home to eat.
The land area of the bamboo forest is limited, and the places where they could be cultivated in the past were opened to grow crops. After public ownership, the village still cultivated along the previous habits, so there were even fewer places where they could pick wild vegetables.
It was almost noon, Li Xiaoyu said to Li's mother: "Mom, I'll go home to cook!" She went back with a basket of wild vegetables.
Li Xiaoyu grabbed eight handfuls of rice with her little hands, added two big red potatoes taken out of the space and cut them into pieces, poured them into a clay pot and added water to boil them. Steamed eight red potatoes from the team in the iron pot, adding fire to the two stoves, and picking wild vegetables. After a while, you have to pay attention to whether the porridge in the pot was fluttered out, and you are busy in the kitchen alone.
When the bell rang, she had just cooked the porridge and red potatoes, and just waited for her elder sister to come back to cook. Now she dared not be as generous as before. Everyone had nothing at home, but her family was the same as before. Didn’t she tell others that her family had a private hiding?
She had not waited for her elder sister to come back for a long time, and even her second brother had not come back. Li Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on? She put down the wild vegetables she had washed in her hand and ran out of the yard to see what was going on.
I could only hear the faint noise from the storage room, and I wonder what happened?
Li Xiaoyu ran back to the kitchen and saw that the fire in the stove was out. She closed the door and wanted to watch the fun.
"Grandpa, I'll go to the custody room to see what they are making trouble?" Li Xiaoyu said to Grandpa Li.
Grandpa Li is old and has a little back of his ears. He doesn't hear the noise in the storage room at all. Now, after hearing what she said, he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Grandpa, nothing happened. Maybe someone quarreled. I'll tell you after I'll see it."
"If someone fights, you have to stay away!"
"I know!"
The storage room was covered with people who had returned from work. The captain said loudly: "I don't have any food, but there is not a single grain in our village. You can leave quickly! We have to go to work in the afternoon."
"Didn't you say that your team's grain can be eaten and harvested wheat?" Village chief Li Xingwang's voice came out.
"I haven't said it, you heard it wrong!" The captain denied it. He would admit it only if he was stupid. He wanted to borrow food. No one in his team could get enough food. Where did he borrow food? What's more, there is really no grain in the team now, and he can't borrow it even if he wants to.
The village chief didn't expect Li Jianyuan to be so foolish and didn't admit what he said. He didn't believe it anymore, and he stayed here and didn't believe that he couldn't see the food.
"If you don't borrow food, I won't leave." Li Xingwang tricked the six people who came with him to sit down. He wanted to see, as long as they eat, they would go and have a free meal, and they didn't believe that they could not lend food. If they didn't borrow, they would be afraid of eating.
When the captain saw that the village chief was sitting on the ground and stopped leaving, he laughed angry: "If you don't lend you food, you really won't leave!"
"I won't leave if I don't see the food!"
"Okay, if you don't leave, let's go!" The captain waved his hand and took the lead to walk home. When the villagers saw the captain leaving, they all followed him.
In the blink of an eye, only the village chief and the people he brought were left on the shabby. A few of them were stunned. Why did they all leave? Didn’t they eat?
"Guardian, what should we do?" one of them asked.
"What should I do? Keep up with Li Jianyuan and see what he is doing!"
Several people followed the village chief straight to Li Jianyuan's house, and were stopped by a door in front of his yard.
"Three son, go and call the door."
The third son took a step forward, and his palm-shaped hand slapped the door with a "slap" sound.
Li Jianyuan had just sat down and was about to have dinner when he heard the knock on the door. He knew that the village chief had come with his people without guessing.
"Village Chief, what do you want to do?" Li Jianyuan asked helplessly.
"I just want to borrow some food from you!" The village chief pushed him away and entered the yard. He saw food on the table in his main hall.
"How do you eat at home? Where is the cafeteria?"
"Village Chief, you have seen it anyway. Let me tell you the truth. Our team hasn't eaten in the cafeteria for a long time. If you eat, there will be no food. I'll share it all, so I really don't have food to lend you. You can do it!" The captain knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply said it alone, what should I do if I like!
"You are so brave, you are not afraid of being caught."
"It's better to catch typical people than to be hungry! I can't afford so many villagers."
In fact, both of them knew the problem. No one took the lead in the past. Now, there was finally a precedent, so they simply went back and distributed the food. When they thought of this, Li Xingwang couldn't sit still.
"Let's go, we'll go back and divide the food."
Village chief Li Xingwang thought while walking that he could not divide grain in one or two teams. If he wanted to divide the grain, the whole village would be divided, and even if he caught the typical example, he would not be able to handle it alone.
When he returned to Team 5, the village chief found the captain and asked him to summon villagers to share the food. He also sent someone to notify the other captains, asking them to share the food, and they would go back to their houses to eat in the future. The canteen was temporarily closed.
The village chief led everyone to share the food without taking it.
When Li Xiaoyu saw that the crowd on the shining dam had dispersed in a while, she also dispersed with the crowd.
When I entered the yard, I heard my third brother telling my grandfather what had just happened. Someone told me to my grandfather, just so that she would not tell me again.
"It's time to eat!" Li Chengji called out a few people in the yard to have dinner. Grandma Li, who had never seen anyone, heard about it. She came out of Li Dajia's kitchen, patted the dust on her body, and went to Li Xiaoyu's kitchen to have dinner.
After the meal, the bell rang. Li's mother took a few children to work. Li Xiaoyu also carried a basket and could pick some wild vegetables back and keep them for tomorrow.
"Xiao Yu'er, put the basket here and go back to catch some bamboo leaves. There is no fire at home."
