Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 26 Food distribution, buying grain & stewed yellow pear

The next day was the day of food distribution for the group.

This kind of day had nothing to do with Lin Qing He and her three sons because her family had separated off and had no share of labor. Because there was no labor done, even she didn’t get the most basic headcount share of grain.

This was the rule of their community. Unless they were old, weak, sick, or disabled, they have to work in order to have a headcount portion in addition to the work points portion.

The original owner, as a youth in her peak, she didn’t work in the field, then there was nothing to say. Even Da Wa, Er Wa San Wa also didn’t have the so-called headcount level of grains.

But it didn’t matter, without a share, she can still buy.

There was no hurry, since buying food with the production team had to wait until the community finished getting their share first and there was leftover remaining.

She knew that this year’s production team got a hefty harvest, so naturally, there would be surplus grain.

So no worries at all.

While at old Zhou’s side, they had already picked out a lot of grain back before nine in the morning. Of course, this was what Da Wa and Er Wa said when they came back.

The whole village was very happy on a day like today. The children were running all over the street and Lin Qing He also didn’t restrain the two brothers.

Each got a big white rabbit candy and was sent away.

Not mentioning that the two little brothers chewing big white rabbit toffee in their mouths received their little friends’ envy and drooling appearances. Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi also came to transport their family’s grain at approximately ten-thirty.

Zhou Dong came over and said that in a while, the distribution would be all over.

That is to say, it was alright to go now. Once she arrives, the whole group will mostly finish getting their shares.

"Then are you free now? If it’s okay, push the cart and make a trip with Shenzi." Lin Qing He said.

"Now is no problem," Zhou Dong replied.

So Lin Qing He let him bring the cart over while she grabbed the money. Then she carried San Wa and locked the door.

Zhou Dong brought the cart over and Lin Qing He followed him to the team.

A lot of women saw her heading over, and all were whispering. Who didn’t know that she was going to buy food? That was to say, the days were good now. If she was like this in the past, then she would be waiting to starve to death!

Back then, there was no such good life like now.

But because of old Zhou family and Father Zhou’s and Mother Zhou’s good reputation in the village, they said nothing.

The team leader had no prejudice against Lin Qing He. Although he felt that she didn’t know how to live a life, it was someone else’s business after all. What’s more, she had money to buy and didn’t want extra (like a freebie) from the team.

Lin Qing He had it all planned out this time. Because there were so many goods in the space, she intends to do for appearance sake.

After all, Zhou Qing Bai has no income in the future, and she can’t really be so scrupulous.

But in the eyes of the villagers, this time she was extremely wasteful with money because she didn’t buy much of others. Just mostly wheat!

They have long heard Da Wa openly brag about their mother making all kinds of food for them every day at home. Just by looking, how can they not tell?

Lin Qing He bought a hundred jins of wheat. A jin of wheat cost more than three dimes. A hundred jins of wheat totaled to more than thirty yuan.

Besides wheat, were corn kernels, which was used to grind into cornmeal. This was cheaper. She asked for eighty jins.

There were fifty kilograms of millet. Next were mung beans, adzuki beans, soybeans, peanuts, sesame seeds. For these, she didn’t require much. Mung beans, red beans, and yellow beans were ten jins each. Peanuts were a lot more, thirty jins. Also a good bit of sesame seeds, twenty jins.

She got a sack of sweet potato, which was twenty jins.

As for the cheaper dried sweet potato, she didn’t need any. This stuff can be ground into sweet potato flour, but it was particularly unpalatable. This was something in the original owner’s memory.

But most people in the village were eating this right now.

After asking for these things, Lin Qing He didn’t intend to ask for coarse grain.

But these things still spent a good chunk of fortune. Seeing her spending the money without blinking, some women in the village couldn’t help but feel distressed for her!

These things will cost about sixty yuans!

Everyone else came to the team for their share of food and then wait for the team to divide the money. Even if there wasn’t much, everyone can still have a sum of money throughout the year. Who would ever act like her?

Others, they don’t eat. just flour. And a big family received only a few jin of wheat ah!

And if she was willing to work, not only will she get a headcount share, but three children too. What’s more, she can also get work points to exchange for food. Even if it wasn’t enough to eat, she can buy then. At most, she can spend a few yuans to buy it. Then would there be a need to throw out so much money?

Lin Qing He was unfamiliar with everyone and didn’t have any intention to talk to them because the generation gap was too big. There was no need to force herself. Anyway, the original owner had such a personality, she can just follow it.

She asked Zhou Dong to transport the food and will sort it herself.

Zhou Dong said: "Shenzi, I will get you firewood in the afternoon. However, tomorrow the team will be busy planting winter wheat tomorrow and the day after. I won’t have time to. Once this is over, I will have nothing to do then."

"OK." Lin Qing He nodded.

Da Wa and Er Wa came in and their eyes lit up looking at the food in the house. With this food, they will not be short of food this winter!

They didn’t have much judgment now. So naturally, they didn’t know that much. Truthfully, these foods weren’t enough to eat.

Especially once Zhou Qing Bai returned. However, Lin Qing He already made plans. This 100-jin wheat and 80-jin corn will wait until Zhou Qing Bai to come back and then grind it. Before that, she’ll consume those in her space as much as possible.

"I’m going to prepare for lunch. You two brothers take good care of San Wa." Lin Qinghe instructed.

After she finished eating in the morning, she set the dough aside to rise, and now it was ready. She will make noodles for noon.

Eating noodles in scallion oil accompanied by bacon, the taste would be particularly fragrant. Even Lin Qing He liked to eat it.

She had nothing to do now, so she wondered which day she’ll try to cook braised meat.

There was no rush at the moment, let’s wait until the children’s sweaters are knitted first. She will knit herself. There was one in the cabinet that was particularly new, which was newly knitted last year. However, the three children have none.

Lin Qing He also knew how to knit sweaters. She had learned from her grandma in the country when she was a child. Although she was out of practice, she still had the original owner’s memory. With the combination of the two, she can knit it for the boys. No need to let others do it.

After eating noodles in the afternoon, Lin Qing He led Da Wa and Er Wa to twine the ball of yarn. This was for knitting sweaters for the two of them, so naturally, two of them were happy.

With the help of the brothers, it goes without saying that the speed was very fast.

At about one o’clock in the afternoon, she took the three boys to take a nap. When she woke from her nap, she stewed rock sugar and yellow pear for the boys.

She sent them to wrap yarn balls. She was so bored that she dug out the flesh inside the pears for the brothers to eat. Then she poured cold water into the pear, put some rock sugar and red dates into it, and then cover over with the flat cut-off pear tops (like the picture above). It was put in a bowl, which was then placed in a pot on the stove to stew away.
