"Sister, do you know where to get water?"

"I know! What's wrong?" The second sister looked up at Fang Yuan and asked.

"The dust is too big. I want to get some water to sprinkle it on." Fang Yuan scratched his head and said.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the second sister gave him a look and said, "Don't think about this anymore. Everyone has no food to eat, and you still want to fetch water and sprinkle it on the ground."

"Isn't it that serious?" Fang Yuan looked at the second sister and asked.

"In this way, after I finish cleaning this place, I will take you over to have a look. You will know then."

"oh!"

The second sister has said so, what else can Fangyuan say, she can only start cleaning.

Although there was a lot of dust, fortunately the area was not very large. Before lunch, Fangyuan and the second sister cleaned up the room.

Just as Fangyuan and the second sister put down their things, the old party secretary's granddaughter, that little girl, came over.

"Uncle, my grandpa asked me to come over and ask you to have dinner."

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You go back and tell your grandpa that uncle is not hungry."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the little girl did not go back, but lowered her head and looked at the ground.

Seeing this, Fangyuan quickly went over and grabbed another handful of White Rabbit toffee from the bag, put it into the little girl's pocket and said, "Okay, go back! Just tell your grandpa what uncle said, and your grandpa won't blame you."

"But……"

The second sister came over at this time, took the little girl and said, "Let's go, aunt will take you back and tell your grandpa."

Others don't know, and second sister doesn't know, but Fangyuan is never short of food, and his backpack should be full of food.

"Second sister, why are you going?" Fangyuan asked when he saw the second sister was about to go out.

"I'm going back to eat!"

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go over with you and take a look at your food."

After finishing speaking, Fangyuan came out of the cave and closed the door. Not only that, she also took out a lock and locked the door.

There was no other way. He kept the bag in the house and had to lock the door!

"Let's go." Seeing Fangyuan lock the door, the second sister said.

The two people soon arrived at the old party secretary's house. Seeing the two people coming, the old party secretary said quickly: "Come to Fangyuan and come in for dinner."

"If I can't find the old branch secretary, I'll go to my sister's place first."

Because Fangyuan wanted to go there for dinner, the old party secretary said, "Don't go there. If you go there, you won't have food."

"Old party secretary, you misunderstood. I'm not going to eat, I'm just going to take a look."

"That's it! Okay, let's go, I'll go there with you."

"This..." Fangyuan wanted to say no, but seeing that the old party secretary had come out, Fangyuan didn't say anything.

Just like that, the old party secretary, Fangyuan, the second sister and the little girl went to the educated youth team together.

Although the second sister and her group of educated youths are divided into men's teams and women's teams, they still eat together because they eat the food allocated by the superiors.

When Fangyuan and the others came over, the educated youth happened to be queuing up to get food. The second sister told Fangyuan, went back to the cave to get a small basin, and followed in the queue.

Fangyuan and the old party secretary didn't go over. The two of them and the little girl were watching from the side.

"Fang Yuan, you see! The people who cook for your sisters are from our village." The old party secretary pointed at two middle-aged women and said.

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why don't they cook by themselves?"

You know, the second sister can also cook. With so many people, it is not easy to find a few who can cook.

"Oh! We can't let them make it by themselves. There is only so much food allocated from above. If they are allowed to make it by themselves, one month's rations will not be enough for them to eat for ten days. This has happened before."

"Ah! That's it!"

The old party secretary's words left Fangyuan speechless, but it was also true, and this possibility was not impossible.

Soon the meal preparation started, and Fangyuan discovered that the so-called rice consisted of one sweet potato and one potato per person.

Sweet potatoes are okay, at least they look bigger, but potatoes are about the same size as an egg.

To be honest, this really left Fangyuan speechless.

"Old party secretary, this is what my second sister and the others eat?"

"It would be nice to have this." The old party secretary said with a wry smile and shook his head.

"this……"

Soon it was the second sister's turn, and she also had a sweet potato and a potato.

Not only the second sister, but also the male educated youths in the industry. Here, there are no men and women, because everyone has the same amount of rations.

After the second sister finished her meal, she came to Fangyuan. Before the second sister could speak, Fangyuan said, "Let's go."

"oh!"

After leaving the educated youth team, Fangyuan turned to look at her second sister and asked, "Do you eat this every day?"

"It's winter now, and we don't have to work, so it's good to eat this. Besides, this is the only one that's easier to store," said the second sister.

Although the second sister didn't say anything else, Fangyuan knew that it was probably all about this.

But if you eat this thing for a day or two, it's okay. If you eat it for several months at a time, even good people can be ruined.

"Let's go to Fangyuan and go home for dinner," the old party secretary said.

Originally Fangyuan didn't want to go, but he wanted to see what the old party secretary's family was eating, so he nodded in agreement.

Soon the group returned to the old party secretary's house. The meal was already on the table. The old party secretary's wife, son and daughter-in-law were all there, but no one started to eat.

Fangyuan glanced at the table. There were several steamed buns and sweet potatoes. There was also a dish, fried radish strips.

"Come to Fangyuan and sit down quickly." The old party secretary said to Fangyuan.

After Fangyuan and the second sister sat down, the old party secretary also sat down and said, "Eat!"

Hearing what the old party secretary said, some of the old party secretary's son and daughter-in-law picked up a sweet potato. The little girl looked at the steamed buns in the bun stove, swallowed her saliva, and then picked up a sweet potato to eat.

At this time, if Fangyuan still didn't understand what was going on, then he would be too stupid. The few buns in the steamed buns were probably made because of his arrival.

Usually, the family eats sweet potatoes just like those educated youths, even worse than those educated youths. At least the educated youths still have potatoes to eat.

"Fang Yuan, come on, there's nothing good." The old branch secretary picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Fan Yuan.

Fangyuan quickly took it, but he didn't eat it. Instead, he handed the steamed buns to the little girl and said, "Uncle doesn't like eating steamed buns, so I'll give you sweet potatoes instead."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the little girl was stunned for a moment. She looked at Fangyuan, then at her parents and grandparents, wondering what to do.

Finally, the old party secretary nodded, and the little girl exchanged the sweet potato in her hand for Fangyuan.

The little girl took the wowotou and started to nibble on it without even eating the radish. This made Fang Yuan look very distressed.

Not only did he feel sorry for the little girl, but he also felt sorry for the second sister, because he felt that the second sister should be the same as the little girl now.

"Come on, kid, you can eat too." The lover of the old party secretary handed a steamed bun to the second sister.

"Auntie, no need, I have food here." The second sister quickly picked up the small basin and said.

"Eat it!" The old lady put the cornbread into the second sister's basin.

To be honest, there was nothing the old party secretary could do to welcome Fangyuan, because there was no precedent, which meant that no family members of the educated youth came here to see the educated youth.

But taking good care of these educated youths is a matter for the village, so it is also necessary to take care of their families, so he asked Fangyuan to come to his house for dinner.

Besides, Fangyuan gave his granddaughter so much candy. You know, candy is a good thing! It doesn’t matter what kind of candy it is.

"Thank you!" the second sister said to her lover, the old branch secretary.

To be honest, both the old party secretary and his wife are kind to these educated youths and feel sorry for them, but their abilities are limited.

There is absolutely no way to help these educated youths.

Fangyuan took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "Old party secretary, the stove in my house collapsed. I thought of one. I will cook for myself later."

"Do you cook for yourself?" the old party secretary looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and asked.

"Yeah! I brought some food with me when I came here. I'll go to the market later to see if I can buy anything else. If not, I'll go to the county town to have a look."

"This..." The old party secretary looked at Fang Yuan and said, "It's easy to make a stove, but even if you go to the county seat, you won't be able to buy anything!"

At this time, where are you going to get something to eat? This old branch secretary knows much better than Fangyuan.

Not because of anything else, but because they are too poor here. This is not just about their village, but their county and their commune.

"Old Party Secretary, I'll figure this out. Can you find someone to help me turn up the stove?"

"That's no problem! My son knows how to do it. I'll ask him to help you get up soon."

"Okay, thank you!"

Fangyuan wasn't hungry to begin with, and besides, he didn't want to eat more, because if he took one more bite, the old party secretary's family would have to take one less bite, and Fangyuan couldn't do such a thing.

So after eating two small sweet potatoes, Fangyuan stopped.

First of all, water is needed to start the stove, but this is easy to solve, because it does not require edible water, and Fangyuan does not need to worry at all, the old party secretary's son got it.

With Fangyuan's help, the stove was ready in less than an hour, and after letting it dry for half a day, the fire could be lit at night.

The son of the old party secretary was very honest. After finishing cooking on the stove, he left by himself. Fangyuan quickly took a handful from his backpack and took out a large cigarette.

Of course, touching it from the backpack was just for show, the cigarette was taken out from the space.

"Brother, wait a minute." Fangyuan shouted from behind.

"Is there anything else you need me to do?" the old party secretary's son turned around and asked.

The old branch secretary’s son is named Shengli. He was probably born when the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, so he was named like this.

"No more, that's it. Thank you for your help. You can take this back." Fang Yuan handed over the cigarette.

"No, no, no, I can't have this, you'd better take it back!" Shengli waved his hand quickly.
Chapter completed!
