Chapter 711 Escape 16
Geng Dalin sat down on the ridge of the field, looked at the field mouse in the basket, then looked at the bag full of grain, and murmured, "My dear, you are like this How did this field mouse manage to get so much food? "Come?"
"The vole is smart."
Yuan Chun directed Geng Dalin to dig another vole nest. This time the vole dug out was bigger than the last one. The food hidden is not as much as the last one.
But it’s more than thirty pounds.
Afterwards, under Yuanchun's fierce eyes, Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng dug up the nests of five field mice in succession and dug out more than 130 kilograms of rice.
Including the rice dug earlier, it weighs two hundred kilograms.
Seeing the six big bags filled with food, the Geng family members were very happy.
Geng Dalin and Sun Chunfeng dragged the grain to the brigade department and used rolling mills to grind out the grain.
The bran skin was also ground into fine powder.
Geng Dalin said to Yuan Chun, "Mom, although we got so much food from the field mouse nest, there will always be a day when we finish it. I think our family will cook two pots of rice and one pot of rice in the future. You Eat with a few children, and cook a pot of whole grain rice, rice It is mixed with bran rice and given to me and Chunfeng. We are both in good health and can handle eating more whole grains, and we can also save a lot of food."
Sun Chunfeng also laughed at the side. , "Mom, just listen to Dalin. Dalin and I will eat more." Coarse grains can save more fine grains for you and the children to eat."
Yuan Chun whitened the bag of bran peels and said, "Keep these bran peels for now. I will go to the county to take a look tomorrow. Is there anyone selling chicks? Let’s buy some chicks. Come and raise them, the children are growing up, they can’t just eat rice, they must eat some eggs to supplement their nutrition.”
“Mom, everyone is hungry and running away. Can we still have chickens for sale?" Geng Dalin asked doubtfully. Yuanchun slapped him on the back of the head and said, "Do you think everyone is like us farmers and will starve to death if we don't escape famine?"
"People in our village have no food to eat, and it is a dead end to stay, so they flee famine. But people in the city have jobs. Even if there is a shortage of food, they will not starve to death. It will just be less food than before. Even if they don't have enough to eat, they won't die of hunger."
"Moreover, how can people with jobs just leave?"
Yuan Chun went. He scooped a gourd of water, washed his face, and then called the children and Geng Dalin and his wife to come over and wash themselves. "You are all smelly of sweat. Please wash yourself well today. Don't worry about running out of water." , As long as I'm here, you won't be able to find water for you to drink."
If you don't wash yourself, you can smell a sour smell when eating. How can she live with them and eat together?
Geng Dalin blushed and drooped, "Mother, this water is very valuable, so I won't wash it and let the children wash it in the spring breeze."
Yuan Chun pushed him and cursed, "Wash it away quickly. If you don't wash away your rotten smell, you won't be able to eat at night."
Geng Dalin said anxiously, "Mother, I'll wash it. Don't be angry."
Yuan Chun got out two buckets of water and asked everyone to scrub the inside and outside of the house. It wasn't that she didn't want to get more water, it was because these people couldn't bear to use it.
Several people shared a bucket of water to scrub first, and then shared a bucket of water to clean. Finally, they were reluctant to throw away the water. They wanted to save it for washing their feet and hands tomorrow.
Yuan Chun frowned in disgust, but he could understand that they were reluctant to waste water during the drought.
