Chapter 802: Continuing Life in Fifty Years 85
At the turn of summer and autumn, the weather is extremely hot and humid, as if the whole world is shrouded in a layer of heat, making people feel a little breathless.
In the kitchen, Gao was busy preparing breakfast for the family.
She planned to make a meal of cold noodles, top it with delicious egg sauce, and cut a few salted duck eggs. This would be simple and convenient while satisfying the taste buds of the whole family.
So she took a dozen eggs from the basket and gently cracked them into a large bowl.
However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the yolks of these eggs were a strange red color, and she couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Gao turned around puzzledly and asked her husband Li Huaishan, who was concentrating on rolling noodles, "Boss, look here, why is the egg yolk red? I've never seen this before!"
When Li Huaishan heard this, he quickly put down the rolling pin in his hand and walked quickly to his wife's side.
He carefully picked up the bowl of egg liquid and sniffed it carefully.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, wife, these must be fresh eggs. I guess our precious daughter added something new to the chicken feed, which is why the egg yolks are red. They look quite special."
After hearing this, Gao felt a little relieved, but she still decided to use these eggs to fry a bowl of fragrant meat sauce to taste it first.
She took the bowl, picked up the spatula skillfully and started stir-frying in the hot pan.
As the oil temperature gradually increased, the sizzling sound and rich aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.
On the other side, Li Huaishan happily returned to the chopping board and continued to roll the dough vigorously.
While he was busy, he chatted with Gao: "By the way, are the crops planted in front of and behind our old house on the mountain almost ready for harvest? On my day off, I must go up the mountain with my daughter to take a look."
Gao was concentrating on frying the sauce. When she heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing, thought for a moment, and replied:
"That's right, time flies. I can't remember how long it's been since I last cared about the fields at home. Thanks to you for always thinking about them."
After a few seconds of pause, he continued, "Oh, look at me. Now that I have a job, my mind has become wild! In the past, I used to keep the house tidy every day.
Every morning when I wake up, I am busy wiping the furniture to make them spotless; then I wash the clothes that the family has changed out of, and my hands are rubbing them until they are red;
When it’s time for dinner, they prepare every meal with great care, using different dishes to make sure everyone eats better.
But now, as soon as I open my eyes, all I can think about is getting busy at the Veterans Service Center."
Li Huaishan nodded repeatedly while listening to Gao's words, and at the same time, he kept shaking the noodles he had just cut in his hands.
"Who says it's not true? I'm just like you. Ever since I started managing the goods at the feed factory, I've been living in fear, afraid that there will be even the slightest mistake.
My mind was full of things related to the goods, and I couldn't even think about the kids at home."
Before Li Huaishan finished speaking, Li Jinghong, who had come over following the scent, happened to hear his father's words and couldn't help but sneered:
"Huh, are all city people like this? They just love going to work, but don't like doing these chores around the house at all.
In my opinion, they have never experienced hunger and do not know the hardships of life. We have so little money at home, and those long-haired ones who can breathe are not counted!"
As he spoke, Li Jinghong raised his hand and pointed to the bamboo tube connected to the mountain spring, and said with some pride:
"See? This bamboo water pipe. My brother and I took a lot of effort to make it. Does it feel convenient to use?"
He walked to the bamboo pipe, turned on the switch, and filled a basin with clear water.
The water hitting the basin makes a "gurgling" sound, as if playing a morning symphony.
He put his hands into the water, feeling the cool touch, then scooped up a handful of water and splashed it hard on his face. The water droplets splashed everywhere, making a "puff puff" sound.
Then he picked up the toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste on it, and brushed his teeth carefully, each stroke full of force and rhythm.
Just then, Li Jingqi strode in.
He looked serious and when he saw his brother, he raised his foot and kicked him lightly without saying a word.
Li Jinghong dodged, muttering, "You workers, the wages you work so hard for aren't even worth what you could make from selling a goat! What's the point of going to work every day? There are so many things going on at home, and you don't even bother to take care of them!"
Li Jingqi tugged at his second brother, "Brother, we can't just focus on the immediate benefits! Feed is very important. It affects the livestock raised by many people. If the feed supply is sufficient and the livestock grow well, we can produce more meat in the future, and everyone can eat more meat!"
He went on to say, "Think about it. If unified marketing and purchasing were implemented, things like meat, eggs, and milk would have to be sold and purchased by the state. By then, the money in the hands of ordinary people wouldn't be money anymore. I guess we wouldn't even be able to spend it!"
Li Huaishan, who was busy putting the cut noodles into a winnowing basket, heard the two brothers' argument and couldn't help but interrupt: "Oh, if you say that, then life will be difficult from now on!"
As he spoke, he carefully picked up the noodles he had just rolled and handed them to his wife.
Gao took the noodles, her mouth wide open in surprise, and asked, "Jingqi, then tell me where we should start to refine this unified sales and purchase system?"
Li Jingqi answered without hesitation, "In my opinion, the first thing would definitely be food. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. The next would probably be tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, industrial products, and cloth and clothing."
Gao was so frightened when she heard this that she nearly dropped the noodles in her hand. She exclaimed, "Oh my God! If this happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to buy fabric to make new clothes in the future!"
Li Jingqi nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mom, so before the detailed policy is officially released, we have to buy more and save them!"
Li Huaishan frowned tightly and said with a worried look on his face, "Could it be that even if we import from abroad, we can't fill this huge gap?"
Li Jingqi, who was washing his face, responded calmly, "This is not going to be easy! Where can we import it from? The war just ended in the north, and those guys will definitely impose an economic blockade on us. Besides, the Russians are always hoping that we will be trapped in trouble and obey their orders!"
As he spoke, he gently wiped the water droplets from his face with a towel, as if he had already known about this tricky situation.
