Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 117 The Dumb Lady of the Landlord's Family

Secretary Han calmed down the members and quickly came to the commune.

I was walking and thinking about what I was going to say later.

I had just taken a breath when I heard a familiar voice coming from the office.

It was Secretary Zhao of the First Battalion. He was reporting how much steel the First Battalion had produced.

Secretary Han thought of the people who had been trained in his own brigade and immediately felt ashamed to go in.

Just as I was about to turn back, I saw Secretary Wu from the Fifth Brigade walking towards me.

Secretary Wu put his arm around Secretary Han's shoulders and said, "Old Han, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in!"

Secretary Han had no choice but to follow Secretary Wu inside.

Secretary Zhao warmly shook Secretary Han's hand and said, "Hey, isn't this Old Han? Your team has a high output this year. How did you guide it? Please share your experience with us."

"Ah... hehe... I didn't give any instructions, but your team's production is pretty good."

Several people exchanged official words with each other. After everyone left, Secretary Han finally explained his purpose.

The commune leader looked at Secretary Han with a cold face: "Your brigade has such a high output but still needs to borrow food?? Old Han, what are you doing?"

Finally, Secretary Han stumbled over what happened.

The more he talked, the more his face turned black. Secretary Han was so overwhelmed by his aura that he could not even lift his head. "Old Han! I assigned you to the Third Brigade because I trusted you. I never thought you would mess around for performance! You don't care about the people! Okay, you don't have to continue working. I will assign another secretary to the Third Brigade. Go to the farm and reflect on yourself!"

Secretary Han suddenly fell to the ground with a pale face. He just wanted to make political achievements. What was wrong with him? ? ?

The members of the third brigade looked at the new secretary Sun with a confused look on their faces.

Secretary Sun smiled and looked at everyone and said, "My last name is Sun Gang. I will take over the job of the secretary of the Third Brigade from now on. Please cooperate with me!!!"

The members are not interested in changing the secretary. They just want the food to return to the way it was before.

Secretary Sun looked at the little grain left in the warehouse, then looked at the situation on the field, and directly waved his hand to let Team Leader He go to buy farm tools in the name of the collective.

How can we get food if the land is left uncultivated?

There were not enough vegetables left, so Secretary Sun organized the women in the brigade to go to the mountains to pick edible wild vegetables.

Gu Nuanyi picked up a piece of cold wild vegetables with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. She chewed it for a long time but couldn't chew it up.

I looked around and saw that many people had their mouths stuffed with food and were chewing hard, but no one was swallowing.

Gu Nuanyi's cheeks were tired from chewing, and in the end, she couldn't chew it well, so she spit it out when no one was paying attention, and complained in a low voice: "Is this a wild vegetable or a grass root? I am so tired from chewing it..."

My mouth is tired of chewing, so I naturally have no desire to continue eating.

Young people can't chew it, let alone the elderly.

Grandpa and grandma took two mouthfuls of the salty taste and spit out the wild vegetables.

The three of them looked at each other, drank the rice soup in their bowls in a few gulps, and walked home.

When they got home, the three of them went to the kitchen. Grandpa and Gu Nuanyi were responsible for closing the doors and windows, and they even stuffed old clothes under the door to prevent the smell from escaping.

Grandma is responsible for cooking and boiling noodles.

The three of them held their bowls and ate without even raising their heads.

After dinner, Gu Nuanyi rinsed her mouth carefully before going to work.

Half a month later, even wild vegetables were gone.

Each person was given a pickled cabbage lump the size of a fingernail as a dish.

The members were so hungry that they sat down on the edge of the field.

Secretary Sun had no choice but to ask the commune for subsidy grain.

This allows the members to eat half full

Even in this situation, the blast furnace at the foot of the mountain did not stop burning.

Another month has passed

He Chunrou went to Secretary Sun with a pale face and said, "Secretary Sun, there are only two meals of food left in this warehouse!!!"

Secretary Sun was also troubled: "You go and cook first, I will go to the commune to find a solution"

Commune leader: "You just applied for subsidized grain, why are you applying again?"

"I have no other choice. Leader, please approve some more food subsidies for me! There are only two meals left in the brigade..."

The commune leader sighed and said, "Well, it's not that I don't want to approve it for you, it's just that the commune has no more subsidized grain!"

"This...what should we do about this?"

"Your Third Battalion is located near the mountain, why don't you go find some food in the mountain?"

"We have searched everything we can, and we dare not go in any further! What if someone dies... Leader, please think of a solution!" Secretary Sun begged humbly.

"It will take time for me to come up with a solution! You go back first! I'll let you know when the food arrives!"

Secretary Sun had no choice but to return to the Third Brigade

He Chunrou and the other two looked at Secretary Sun expectantly.

Seeing Secretary Sun shaking his head, he was extremely disappointed.

They looked at each other, and despair was written all over their faces.

Even if the three of them are good at cooking, what can they do without rice and flour...

"Hold on a little longer, the commune is already thinking of a solution!!!"

At noon, Gu Nuanyi sighed as she looked at the porridge that could be used as a mirror.

I drank it all in one breath and was full of water.

The eggs that were previously uneaten and used as toys by children have now become a luxury among luxuries. I haven’t seen them in the cafeteria for a long time.

By the time I got to the end of the field from the cafeteria, my stomach was already growling.

After working all morning on an empty stomach, I went to the cafeteria and saw that the rice porridge was still enough to serve as a mirror...

Fortunately, there is ready-made food in Gu Nuanyi's space. She can find a corner where no one is and secretly eat some to fill her stomach.

Grandparents at home don't need to worry, there is food at home, so they won't starve.

The next day, the canteen was completely out of food.

There was no news from the commune yet, so Secretary Sun had to lead his men up the mountain again.

The mountain had been searched over and over again. All the edible things had long been found, and the ground had been turned over very cleanly.

Suddenly a hare jumped out from the side.

The members stared at the hare with green eyes, making strange noises and running towards it.

Gu Nuanyi patted his chest: "Oh my god! I thought zombies were attacking..."

A pack of hungry wolves quickly caught the hare

After catching the hare, the group of hungry wolves wanted to eat it alive.

Secretary Sun put the hare into the backpack under the fierce gazes of the hungry wolves: "All the things on the mountain belong to the collective. We will eat them together when we get down the mountain."

Someone grumbled in dissatisfaction: "How can we eat such a small rabbit together?"

Secretary Sun protected the backpack and said, "Look a little longer, you will always find food. The commune will soon give you subsidized food. Let's hold on a little longer."

One of them said: "Tighten your belt and you won't be so hungry."

The other person stared at the rabbit in the basket with green eyes: "I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!!!"

"Who doesn't want to eat? Let's look for more. It would be great if we could find a few more hares, pheasants, etc.!"

The outer edge of the mountain has become bare. If the rabbits and pheasants can't find food, they will definitely run deep into the mountains.

Gu Nuanyi looked towards the deep mountains: "Tsk! If you go in rashly, you might really encounter a tiger or a black bear..."
