Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, after Chu Mingqiu trained as usual, as soon as Huzi and Gouzi went to school, he took Wang Shudi's car and they went straight to Daxing.  I didn¡¯t feel anything in the city, but as soon as I left the city, the atmosphere of the Great Leap Forward immediately became intense. There were flying red flags everywhere, and the loudspeakers continued to broadcast good news from all over the place.  "Comrade members, comrades, another satellite has been released from the No. 3 test field. The five-acre test field has harvested a total of 260,000 kilograms of grain. This is another satellite released by the commune after the Red Star Brigade test field!"  It was commonplace to beat gongs and drums to deliver the good news to the commune and the county. Everyone was smiling. Reporters ran back and forth, busy taking pictures of this historical moment.  Chu Mingqiu looked at everything in front of him with a smile. After the lively crowd passed, he quietly ran to an old man and asked him where to go to the market?  The old man looked at him in surprise, Chu Mingqiu looked sincere.  "Going to the market, today, the Zhangwang Market over there should be today." The old man gave him directions. Chu Mingqiu and Wang Shudi didn't know where to go to the market, so they ran out. Fortunately, they had cars and were not afraid of running away.  .  The two of them pedaled to Zhangwangji. There were many people in the market, but there were almost no food sellers. Chu Mingqiu went to the market twice and didn't see any food sellers.  The old man on the broom learned that the food is now being sold secretly.  The state¡¯s unified purchase and marketing of grain has been strengthened. No one can sell grain privately. Selling grain privately is an act of speculation and will be arrested by the public security organs and security personnel.  For the sake of Chu Mingqiu buying five brooms, the old man quietly told Chu Mingqiu to pay attention to those carrying baskets. Food is usually hidden in the baskets and covered with vegetables or other things.  Following his instructions, Chu Mingqiu quietly avoided the supervisors wearing red armbands in the market and searched everywhere in the market. When it came to this black market business, he was also a layman. Chen Huaihua used to send it to him, but now  He could only explore step by step.  He squatted down in front of each vendor carrying a basket, pretending to pick something while looking at the contents in the basket. After experiencing many disappointments, he finally saw the food in the basket from a middle-aged man.  The young man set a high price, two and six cents per pound, which was more than twice the national price. Chu Mingqiu bought it all without hesitation.  After seeing Chu Mingqiu handing the money to the middle-aged man, the old lady behind the middle-aged man immediately stopped him and took him to a corner of the small alley next to a pile of straw. Next to the straw, there was a fifty-year-old man.  The old man looked at Chu Mingqiu in front of him a little surprised.  The old lady took out a bag of grain from the straw pile next to the old man. The bag of grain was bulging. Chu Mingqiu visually inspected it and weighed about thirty kilograms.  He untied the straw rope tying the bag, revealing raw wheat grain inside.  The so-called raw grain is wheat without shelling.  "Mom, how much is this? How do you calculate the price?" Chu Mingqiu clapped her hands and asked.  "There are thirty-five pounds here. If you want it, it's two cents a pound, a total of seven dollars." The aunt looks older than her actual age, and her face is full of wrinkles.  "Auntie, why do you want to sell it? Do you have enough food at home?" Chu Mingqiu was very curious. You must know that the food in rural areas is not enough to eat, but not enough to eat at all. Most families must eat whole grains. Generally,  White noodles are only available during the Chinese New Year, so steaming two white noodles steamed buns is enough to visit relatives.  "Even if you don't sell it, it will go to the commune." The old lady kept looking left and right as she spoke. Chu Mingqiu fell silent for a moment. There were many slogans painted on the wall along the way, "Everything goes to the commune," which was the most common and most famous one.  This sentence was also published in newspapers and was highly praised.  But the farmer¡¯s idea is very simple. Since we eat in the canteen, and since everything belongs to the collective in the end, we might as well sell it and exchange it for money. The money will not belong to the collective.  After two successful acquisitions, the door to the black market was opened. Chu Mingqiu was scanning the goods with great concentration. Wang Shudi was dumbfounded as he watched the carts gradually filling up. He quickly stopped Chu Mingqiu: "I can't buy any more."  "If we buy more, we won't be able to go back." "There is no way to go back. There are already hundreds of kilograms of food in the car. In order to cover the food, Chu Mingqiu bought a large number of vegetables, including peppers, winter melons, sweet potatoes, cabbage, etc.  The entire cargo is estimated to be close to two hundred kilograms.  Not only is it difficult to pedal, but after entering the city, it may be captured by the "Little Foot Detective Team" in the alley anytime and anywhere.  "Xiaoqiu, let's stop here today. Look at this day, it will be evening when we get back to the city." Wang Shuti looked at the things in the car and felt numb. After these dozens of kilometers, he was afraid that  It will fall apart.  Chu Mingqiu took a piece of plastic film to cover the grain underneath, and spread the vegetables over it. Looking from the outside, you couldn't tell if you weren't paying attention.  But despite this, he still didn¡¯t go far when he was stopped by someone.When he came, he looked at the man's dark skin, a red armband hanging on his homespun short-sleeved shirt, a straw hat on his head, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle's.  "Uncle, what's the matter?" Chu Mingqiu jumped out of the car and asked. Red Armband ignored him and just stared at Wang Shudi. Wang Shudi stopped the car skillfully: "Comrade, what's the matter?" "Who are you?  Who are you? Why did you buy so much food?" Hong Armband asked sharply, looking around in the car.  "Uncle, we are from the school cafeteria in the city. Come here to buy some vegetables. Our school also has a big cafeteria, so we need to buy some food, mainly vegetables." Chu Mingqiu skillfully took out the letter of introduction from his arms and handed it to Hong Armband.  , this letter of introduction was forged by him overnight last night.  "Your school has a big cafeteria? Why do you come to buy things from us?" Hong Armband took the letter of introduction and read it over and over. Chu Mingqiu secretly laughed in his heart. Just by the way this guy held the letter of introduction, he knew that he was illiterate.  "Well, it's a long story," Chu Mingqiu said, "In the city, we buy food at grocery stores, but the quantity we want is too large. There are hundreds of students and teachers in our school, and the quantity is really too large."  At this point, Chu Mingqiu changed the subject and innocently looked at the red armband and asked: "Uncle, is it convenient to eat in your big canteen? How many dishes a day? Can you eat enough? We will come to learn from you then.  , I want to learn from you, but you can't hide your secrets." Wang Shudi was pounding in his heart. Chu Mingqiu had taught him how to speak beforehand, but when it came to the matter, he still felt extremely nervous.  Chu Mingqiu wrapped her arms around the red armband and gave Wang Shudi time to stabilize his emotions.  Chu Mingqiu continued to pester Hong Armband, not giving Hong Armband a chance. Hong Armband had no choice but to deal with Chu Mingqiu's problem. Chu Mingqiu didn't seem to pay attention at all. While pestering Hong Armband, he winked at Wang Shudi.  "Uncle, you are wrong. You are running into GC-ism. You cannot drag us down. We have not entered GC-ism yet. Share your experience with us. I will go back and introduce it to my classmates and teachers. Our society  The new atmosphere of the new socialist countryside! " Chu Mingqiu put on big hats one after another. If it were an adult, Hong Armband would probably be wary, but this is just a **-year-old child.  , that face full of innocence has become his best cover.  "Children, if we adopt GC-ism, you city people will naturally follow GC-ism. Under the leadership of our Chairman M, there will be no problem, no problem at all." "Our big canteen is GC-ism. Our canteen has three meals a day, eight meals a day.  Each person has a table, two thin meals, one dry meal, and six dishes for lunch. You can eat as much as you like, and you can add more when you finish eating. Anyway, there is plenty of food in the fields. " "I'm afraid it won't be possible in your city, you guys.  If you want to go out to buy groceries by yourself, that's fine, but the road is not close. Comrade, can you move?" Faced with the red armband's question, Wang slapped his chest with confidence like a soldier: "The leader trusts me.  We, that¡¯s not to say, we have to bring things back for our big canteen.¡± ¡°Look, our school has put a lot of effort into this big canteen. We have sent eight trucks just to buy food and vegetables.  We're not the farthest one, the farthest one is to Tongzhou. I heard there's pork there, but I didn't expect you have pork here too. Go back and report to the leader. We'll make another trip in a few days." Wang Shudi was a little hesitant at first.  It became smoother and smoother later on, and Chu Mingqiu's heart finally calmed down a little.  But he still didn't want to let Hong Armband calm down, and immediately said again: "We came over there just now, and the satellite was being launched over there. The experimental field produced more than 200,000 kilograms of grain. Uncle, you have to work hard,"  Zhangwangji and Satellite are not the same commune. Zhangwangji Commune has finished harvesting, and the yield report has been posted in the morning. When mentioning the satellite, Hong Armband felt very unconvinced. If we hadn't harvested early, the largest satellite in this area would be their Zhangwangji commune.  From Wangji Commune.  After Chu Mingqiu aroused Hong Armband's depression, he immediately changed his expression and said sympathetically to Hong Armband: "I don't think their satellite is anything special. It only has an output of more than 200,000 yuan from five acres of land. In Guangdong, the output per mu is  It¡¯s more than 100,000 jins, and five acres of land is more than 500,000 yuan. This more than 200,000 yuan is nothing at all. " "Yes, yes," Hong Armband nodded frequently, thinking that this child is so knowledgeable and cute.  Wang Shudi took the opportunity to take out a Big Harvest and handed it to Hong Armband. This Big Harvest cost only 1.2 cents a box, but to Hong Armband it was already a very good cigarette.  Hong Armband lit up his cigarette and took a step forward to read through it. A middle-aged man wearing a blue short-sleeved uniform came over on a bicycle. As soon as Hong Armband saw the blue-clothed middle-aged man, he quickly said hello to him: "Lu  Accountant, I'm back!" Accountant Nalu nodded casually to the red armband: "You're busy, remember to have a meeting tonight, don't be late." "I know! I will be there on time, I won't be late.be late.  "The red armband nodded repeatedly. Chu Mingqiu was surprised that an accountant could have such great prestige. "Comrade, it's getting late. I'm afraid it will be dark when I get back to school. Look"  .  Wang Shuti tentatively put the harvest into Hong Armband's pocket. Hong Armband waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."  "
