Chapter 152 Eighty-one meeting

Unfortunately, Ye Lin rolled his eyes when he was greeted. Ye Lin didn't understand how Mr. Hu ate it. He was eating meat and steamed buns here. Maybe his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were eating steamed buns at home.

If it were someone else, let alone eating, he would probably not be able to eat it. He would be fine, and he still had the leisure to take it out, as if he was afraid that others would not know how good his life was. If he was not old, Ye Lin would want to go up and beat him.

"Don't mess with me, believe it or not, I'll beat you."

"You..." Originally, Mr. Hu wanted to say something, but when he saw Ye Lin's look, Mr. Hu swallowed what he wanted to say.

Because he knew that Ye Lin was a slut, even if he really beat him, he had no place to reason. Even if he was in the police station in the end, it would be the same. In other words, it would be useless if he beat him.

Seeing that Mr. Hu stopped talking, Ye Lin shook his head and then went into the backyard.

Many people in the Intermediate Court heard and saw Ye Lin and saw Ye Lin in the conversation just now. When they saw Ye Lin enter, these people laughed. Of course, it was not laughing at Ye Lin, but at Hu Lao Xiao.

No one expected that this unreasonable Hu Laolao would die without taking advantage and was unreasonable in the end, and he would fall into Ye Lin's hands. Not only did he fall, but he also fell thoroughly. I guess Hu Laolao would be depressed for a long time.

"Son, what did you call Teacher Hu just now?" Ye Lin returned to the house, and Li Ran looked at him and asked.

"It's nothing, it's not that Hu Lao Kuo, holding a bowl of stewed meat from the land, holding a white flour bun and squeezing me there."

"Uh!" Li Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard Ye Lin say this.

Li Ran thought to himself that Teacher Hu is really good. Even though he knew that Ye Lin was not very interested in him, he was still rushing in front of Ye Lin. Isn’t this a matter of nothing to be sought?

"Is life good? I even stewed with potatoes." Ye Qi said sarcastically.

As for the origin of the meat that Mr. Hu ate, few people in the entire compound didn’t know. Some were given by an old man and some were given by a son. Basically, he got it from a scoundrel.

"Yes! I'm still eating white flour steamed buns." Li Ting also said.

"Tsk, isn't it just "Bayi side"! I thought it was so good." Ye Lin said indifferently.

In this era, the noodles bought from the supply and marketing cooperatives were called "Bayi noodles". The rice I ate was called "92 rice".

Starting from 1950, in order to save food, the country decided to change processing standards and advocate the consumption of "92 meters" and "eight-one sides", and stipulated that all supply and marketing cooperatives are only allowed to sell "92 meters" and "eight-one sides".

The so-called "ninety-two rice" means that 100 kilograms of brown rice are milled into 92 kilograms of white rice.

The so-called "eight-one side" refers to grinding 81 kilograms of white flour into 100 kilograms of wheat.

This can retain more grain paste layers and grain embryos. The original intention of this regulation is to reduce waste and increase rations.

I calculated that if everyone had eaten "92 rice" and "81 side", the whole country could save 800 million kilograms of grain a year and feed at least two million more people. This was definitely a large number at that time.

"92 Mi" and "Bayi Mi" have been used until now. Now all the rice and flour sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives are still the same. In fact, except for the steamed steamed buns, it is nothing.

This is normal because there is a lot of wheat peel inside.

Who can be like Ye Lin? One hundred kilograms of wheat produces up to seventy kilograms of white flour? Although it is a bit wasteful, it is nothing, because the wheat bran is not thrown away, but is used as feed for chickens, ducks and pigs in the space.

Anyway, it’s all for feeding. If the wheat bran is not enough, you still need to feed wheat, so there’s nothing wrong with more wheat bran.

"Brother, otherwise you can bring a bowl of braised pork and a white flour steamed bun, and it's better to bring another bowl of chicken and squeeze it in front of him?" Ye Qi gave an idea.

Hearing Ye Qi say this, Ye Lin rolled his eyes and said, "I'm idle."

"What are you scared?" Li Ran glared at Ye Qi and said, "You three remember me. You can't say anything you ate at home even if you go outside."

Li Ran was talking about Ye Qi, Zhai Ying and Li Ting, but did not bring Ye Lin with him because Li Ran knew that Ye Lin would never be outside, at least he would not be at the door of his house. As for where he went elsewhere, it wouldn't matter no matter how hard he was.

"Oh, I know mom."

"Auntie, I understand."

"Don't worry, auntie, I won't say it."

The three girls hurriedly promised Li Ran that they were ignorant, but Li Ran understood that in this era when no one could eat enough, if anyone eats meat every day and eats it casually, it would not be a good thing, but would cause trouble.

"That's good, you must remember."

"Um."

The three girls nodded together, and Li Ran was relieved.

Li Ting stayed at Ye Lin's house until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, especially in the last few days, she stayed at Ye Lin's house in the evening. One reason was that it was colder and it was more troublesome to go back, and the other reason was that she wanted Zhai Ying to teach her homework.

On the 30th day, Ye Lin got up early in the morning, but Li Ran got up earlier than him. Li Ran was cutting red paper in the main hall. When he saw Ye Lin get up, he asked, "Son, why did you get up so early?"

"Mom, you are not the same either." Ye Lin rubbed his eyes.

"Go to wash and eat later."

"Oh, by the way, mom, have you bought couplets or something? Why are you cutting red paper?" Ye Lin thought Li Ran was going to write couplets.

Yes, for the New Year, if you don’t write couplets, why cut red paper?

"You kid, I'm giving me a red envelope. Today is New Year's Eve, and the children in the yard are coming soon. How can I not order a red envelope?"

"Uh! Yes, why did I forget this?" Ye Lin patted his head.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about these things, go and wash up."

"Oh, OK."

Ye Lin finished washing up quickly, and at this time, Ye Qi and Zhai Ying got up. They both asked the same questions as Ye Lin, and of course the answers they got were the same.

After breakfast, Ye Lin and his family sat in the main hall waiting for the children in the slums to come to pay New Year's greetings, but the children did not wait, but waited for the second uncle.

"Is Teacher Li here?"

When Li Ran heard the second uncle shouting outside, he hurriedly went out of the house and said, "Second uncle, I'm here, what's wrong with you?"

"That's right, the yard is going to hold a meeting. I hope your family can come and participate."

Li Ran is a teacher and a junior high school director, so people in the slums are very polite when talking to Li Ran, even the second uncle is the same.

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Okay, then I'll inform others."

"good."

After the second uncle left, Li Ran thought about it and went back to the house, and said to Ye Lin and the others: "Let's go, our family will go for a meeting."

"Really, what's the meeting on New Year's Eve?" Ye Lin was a little impatient, but his mother spoke, and he had to go.

Ye Qi and Zhai Ying don’t care. Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with the family. Why not go and see what meetings are held? Besides, the meetings are so lively. Everyone in the hospital will go there, but there are hundreds of people.

I won’t prepare chairs for you during meetings, so people who go there either bring a bench or chair themselves, or they don’t bring anything, and stand there. There are no rigid regulations, it depends entirely on the individual.

Ye Lin's family has many chairs, and it is more than enough for one person to work, so each of the four of them moved one.

The venue is in the front yard. Because the front yard has the largest area, otherwise it would not be possible to stay for so many people. Of course, it is enough to go to one of them for one, but meetings in the yard are very important, so basically everyone will come here.

Of course, there are some people who don’t want to go, that is, children, but now it’s the Chinese New Year, and you may be able to eat some peanuts and melon seeds when you go to a meeting, so even the children came over.

Ye Lin's family came relatively late. When they came, most of them had arrived. The first, second and third uncles sat in the main seat, and there was an Eight Immortals table in front of them.

There are also a dustpan of peanuts and a dustpan of melon seeds on the Eight Immortals table.

Grandma Liu also came. Li Ran brought Ye Lin and the others to Grandma Liu and sat down next to Grandma Liu.

"Grandma Liu." Li Ran hurriedly said hello to Grandma Liu.

"You are here too."

"Yes." Li Ran nodded.

"I don't know what meeting to hold all day long." Grandma Liu complained.

She said louder, and the three old men heard it clearly, but they could only smile bitterly. Although they would not call Grandma Liu like others, they should also respectfully call Old Lady.

"The eldest grandson is here, come to grandma's place." Grandma Liu waved to Ye Lin.

"Ye Lin nodded and sat in front of Grandma Liu, so Grandma Liu could just hold him from behind.

Seeing that the people were almost there, the first old man cleared his throat and said, "The people are almost there, so let's have a meeting. Today's meeting was organized by the second uncle, so please ask the second uncle to say a few words."

After saying that, the old man stood up, carried a dustpan of peanuts, and walked towards the crowd. Needless to say, he knew that he was giving peanuts.

When the third uncle saw the first uncle like this, he quickly followed the remaining dustpan of melon seeds and sent them. In fact, it was not considered a gift. It was the same as anyone who came to the front and whoever grabbed a handful of peanut melon seeds.

You don’t need to buy peanuts and melon seeds during the Chinese New Year, but they are much more expensive than usual, so there are still not many people buying them. Even if you buy them, you will still buy a little bit. Today, there must be several old men who pay for so many peanuts and melon seeds out of their own pockets.

Of course, the second uncle is the most likely to pay for it, because the first uncle just said that today it will be organized by him. Since it is organized by him, of course he will pay for it.

However, this is not much for the second uncle who is good at face and prefers power, because in his opinion, face and power are much more important than money.

Moreover, it doesn’t cost much to buy these things, at most three or five yuan. It’s absolutely worth it to the second uncle.
